Went up to a tourist attraction in the mountains the first morning. Didn't care for the attraction other than a cool cable car ride up the mountain.
Once there, I spent most of my time behind the buildings, shooting down into the valley. Wicked hot. Sun like a laser beam. Should have used a filter.
This is my version of the house from the movie UP! my kids asked me to make it for them. This picture was taken by Gasdoc at Brickvention.
Up there,
High above the city lights,
Is where you'll find me.
But sometimes,
At your doorstep,
I will be.
What do you see?

Pen Ward is a true gift to the world of television animation. And I'm proud to be a participant in the "Oootopia: An Artgebraic Tribute to Adventure Time" show, taking place at Gallery Nucleus on August 18th, 2012.

Fall of the Wall: 1989/1990
meet one of five pieces of furniture i own: coffee table! sometimes i stand on it. i think it has something to do with being short? like back in my freshman year of college, i used to perch at the top of the step-ladder i used to climb up into my loft bed and just sit there and watch tv, or read, or look out the window. it was oddly calming.
i wanted to do something outside today, but, as i am once more nocturnal (heh) and spent the daylight hours i was awake either in class (rocked my translation project presentation today; i can't put into words how thrilling the feedback was) or in the library catching up on course readings, i missed it. maybe tomorrow.
answers to yesterday's two truths and a lie:
1) truth -- the logic behind the tylenol was clear: if my nose is sick, why swallow the pill when it could be applied topically to the faulty area? the logic behind the pussy-willow bud:...'cause it was soft? i don't know.
2) lie -- i have never broken or fractured anything, despite my best efforts (that part being true).
3) truth -- totally happened. some wildlife guy came to the summer ymca program i was in and i happened to walk into the empty gym where he had left the caged porcupine unsupervised. and it was totally worth it. i got to touch a porcupine! and add to my ridiculous list of encounters with wildlife.

Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) straddling two footholds while cleaning up the mess it made of the suet. Michigan.
My wife and daughter call these birds "Pterodactyls", There does seem to be a resemblance!

Last up for today, jumping ahead to November 19th, 2017, for this photo taken in the market section. Unfortunately, this is where we begin to get into the sad part :( You may recognize this as the former home of this old up&up brand promotional sign (from 2009!!)... I was saddened to discover it had unceremoniously been removed from the store, with only its empty sign frame left to sit as a reminder of what once was. (Note the new black aisle marker placards above the former sign, too: almost too much change to bear at once, lol!)
Unfortunately, this was only a sign (...well, former sign, I suppose :P ) of what was to come elsewhere. This store has indeed yet to remodel... but that doesn't mean some of its signage hasn't been removed. Confusing, right? I'll explain... two Sundays from now. Be sure to stick around...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
My daughter found this little dude on the ceiling. Great opportunity for a cool macro shot! Pretty excited about it.
Those waves at the very top of the building just tickled me. Maybe next time I'll be able to get a better look—Galion seems to be a charming little place (plus the ladies at the church yard sales were beyond sweet and helpful).
CEFX 1038 and UP 3649 are the power on a CP 550 with major power issues. After getting a new, American crew near St-Luc Yard in Montreal, the train sat for about an hour with engine problems. It left and made it about a mile before stopping here at Lasalle yard. The plan after this was to back the train up and change the power.
SouthEastern operates driver training workings on the London Bridge to Tonbridge, via Redhill, route. This provides the sight of their stock away from their normal passenger routes. An up training run (formed of seven cars) is seen here in the impressively deep cutting at Hooley, with the major strengthening works visible on the steep cutting sides.
Sorry for the lack of photos for the last few days. I had the flu. I am finally on the mend.

The more you try to hide something, the easier it is see. :) I'll eventually get back there to reshoot, but I've wanted something there for Panoramio for a while and this will do.
Another SD60M pair brings UP train MSIKC-29 down the UP KC Metro Sub by St. Louis Ave. on its way to Neff Yard, the train's final destination. Both wide and standard cab SD60s are used frequently on these trains between KC and Salina along with other locals and short distance trains in and around the metropolitan area. 7/30/15.
While in Grinnell waiting for the IAIS, which proved to be exceptionally late, I heard a horn which turned out to be the UP Osky Job heading south. Having never followed this branch much, I was a little lost once south of town.
Different kind of make-up.. more a smoky kind of thing.. but not quite.
Oh and do you think the purple lips are noticeable??
The one I dreaded most; the Rio Grande heritage unit. It's my favorite scheme of the heritage fleet so I wanted to do it justice. I was adamant that I use medium orange for this one and it was a blessing and a curse, but in the end, worth it! This one is technically my first 70ACe to benefit from my revamped 70ACe template so this one is a little different from my other 70ACes. Only 2 more UP heritage units to go (or not, we'll see).
Was out cutting Christmas trees with the family and heard a steam whistle. Went back to Crestline and waited. Caught her just as she crested the hill, working hard like she was made to do
The last rays of the dying fall sunlight are glinting off the front of this GE AC44CWCTE as it makes some noise headed westbound through Bonner Springs KS this evening. I was just about to give up and go home because I hadn't seen anything in a while.
It's just another garden variety UP piss brick, but at least the scotchlite wings lit up with the sunlight. After weeks of muted sun from fires and other atmospheric BS it was nice to have clear skies and a cool north breeze with low humidity.
