Part of Foire du Trône

I've shot on the Blair a few times but never on Arlington Hill. Paul being the chauffeur led us to this spot, where a short hike into the field awards you with a beautiful view in the afternoon light. Sam broke off here and Paul, Ryan and I booked it west to catch him one more time coming under 275 into Fremont before we headed home for the day.

Thanks for showing me this spot, Paul. Might have to get out here again soon.

My wife: When are you going to get with the program?

Me: I didn't know there was a program...

The Plaza de España ("Spain Square", in English) is a plaza located in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of the Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles in Spanish architecture. It was featured in one of the set in Star Wars - Phantom Menace.

This train made great progress. I saw this train in the pre-dawn hours on my way to the office at MP 11.3 and by the time that I was coming home that afternoon it had made it all the way to MP 20. That's velocity. Moving at about an average of 1MPH.
