Memorial Auditorium in Gary, Indiana was originally built back in 1927 to honor the war dead of the city. This beautiful building was used to facilitate the local public school system's graduation ceremonies among many other social/political events.
During the late 90s Memorial Hall fell victim to an arsonist. The individual torched the structure among many others in the surrounding area. The result, about two thirds of the property went up in smoke.

Important Note : The crime scene tape laying on the floor in the yellow doorway was kind of unsettling to say the least.
Well it had to happen, with a name like Teddy ;) She doesn't look best pleased about it, but she was very gracious and let me dress her up like a cute teddy bear girl ♥

She's a little ray of sunshine, and though this isn't her usual style she does look cute ♥
As you can see, she has a hybrid body with licca arms on a stock body. It suits her so i'm not keen to put her on a neemo, but hell those rubbery bendy legs are difficult for me to work with! Hence the stand here, and i never use stands :S

CP 143 is starting to leave Dorval with UP 5550 as the sole head end power. KCS 4166 which was trailing it on CP 142 yesterday was used as mid-train DPU on this train today.

This little fella was tied up at a dairy farm on the edge of the Shikotsu-Toya National Park in Hokkaido Japan. He was apparently there for the kids to pet and play with. The kids were all mean to the little guy. I tried to untangle his rope, but he proceeded to head butt me.
I grabbed some hay to feed him and calm him down.

I thought I'd give you guys a shot of the back of the house since you haven't seen it before. Sorry for all the crappy WIP shots. I don't put to much time and effort in photographing WIP shot. Building this house is turning out to be more expensive then I thought...
This is more of a caricature than a portrait. But I like it. At this point, Brian had wrapped himself in a blanket to keep warm.

This building is so interesting. It really is curved in an extraordinary way. Not that it's easy to prove that in a photograph. Taken with the iPhone, and edited (some creative effects applied) in the flickr app.

IFC 2 is the iconic skyscraper on Hong Kong Island, and tilting your camera up lets you keep the tip in the shot as you fill the rest of the frame with clear blue sky.
Hong Kong's air quality has been in decline for a long time, a victim of the 24/7 factories across the border in Shenzhen, but sometimes you get a clear day like this.
It was bright (at f/4, this was correctly exposed at 1/2500s for ISO100) and I barely notice the small black dot. It's not a sensor or lens cleaning issue, but instead, a black hawk. I wonder what it thinks of the urban jungle below?
BNSF 6183 is here at Ostrom and is about to shove back to Binney Jct after the train ahead pulled a drawbar.
Here I go again. Trying to fly. In theory, levitation shots are easy. In reality, pulling it off and having it look as awesome as I want it to be, is extremely harder than it looks. This one isn't too bad, yet it still is not to my exacting demands.
I guess I'll just have to keep at it...
Tilikum swims up...SeaWorld, Orlando.
he is the big bull orca here.
The only way I can 'capture' these is with the camera set on 'sports' mode....works in daylight okay....they move so fast, any other setting and you would miss it
Project Soul Pancake - Week 7: Stay up all night
The latest Soul Pancake challenge was to stay up all night and I knew that while I could remember and reminisce about nights that I was still awake when the sun came up, I knew I could not complete the challenge now. I love my sleep. I get about 8-9 hours a night, so staying up all night sounds like pure hell to me.
When I was younger, It was fun and crazy and it didn't affect me the next day so much, but If I were to stay up all night now, at 41, I would be paying for it for days. So the only way I would stay up all night at this point in my life would be if I just could not sleep. Not voluntarily.
There are nights now where I get very little sleep if something is on my mind or I or one of my peeps are sick or something, and then I toss and turn and start to get very aggravated. The more I can't sleep, the more frustrated I get, making it harder to relax and fall asleep.
I know there will be challenges I can't totally 100% complete. But I can depict them in photos and think about what it would be like and toss things around in my head that normally might not be there and this is what I dig about this cool group.
Union Pacific Railroad E8 934 at Cheyenne, Wyoming on August 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 934 was built in April 1953 (c/n 17786) on EMD Ordert 2052, sold to PNC in September 1972, re-sold to the C&NW becoming 508. While still on the UP, the prime movers were upgraded to 12-567C's, producing a 2400 horsepower E8. As C&NW 508, it was assigned to the commuter service pool, the steam generators were removed and replaced with a Detroit Diesel HEP unit. On December 31, 1977, C&NW 508 was sold to the RTA and leased back for operation, retired by the RTA on May 2, 1983, final disposition unknown.
Welcome to red rock country!
Union Pacific 4730 & Ferromex 4077 form the motive power of train LDG-451-B; the sundays only Potash Local on the Cane Creek Sub.
Een stukje voorbij Moab, aan de Colorado river, staat een mijn, waar Potash gedolven wordt; een zoutachtige substantie die veel in kunstmest gebruikt wordt.
De Potash mijn wordt normaal gesproken enkel op zondagen bediend. Op andere dagen wordt de spoorlijn bij Moab namelijk geblokkeerd doordat op de lijn vrijwel de gehele dag een containertrein staat. Die trein vervoert een belangrijker goedje; namelijk met uranium verontreinigde grond en heeft derhalve voorrang. Maar goed nieuws voor de liefhebber; aangezien zondag de enige mogelijke rijdag is van de Potash local, is de kans groot de trein ook daadwerkelijk te treffen.
Na echter ruime tijd gewacht te hebben in de Bootlegger Canyon moest ik op een gegeven ogenblik opgeven; het begon serieus te regenen én ik kreeg honger. De trein was dan ook al serieus een paar uur te laat. Terug bij de auto...u raadt het al...passeerde hij echter alsnog.
Gelukkig is de snelheid op het traject naast de Colorado River erg laag; een mijl of 10 per uur, harder zal het niet gaan. De trein is dan ook snel ingehaald.
Een eerste fatsoenlijke foto toont de Union Pacific 4730 (EMD SD70M) en Ferromex 4077 (EMD SD70Ace) met hun trein LDG-451-B van Grand Junction naar Potash naast een gruwelijk groot rotsblok.
Al had ik een paartje GP40-2's verwacht...ik was al erg blij dat de trein toch kwam opdagen!
