Amtrak Work Extra 2006 heads south with AMTK 522 trailing. The power is returning from spotting empty tie flats at Meriden Yard and is enroute back to Cedar Interlocking where it will back six loaded tie cars to the TLM (Track Laying Machine) which is installing Track 2 to the right of the engines. The work is part of the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail project, scheduled for completion next year. The P&W 2006, along with 2010 have been leased by Amtrak for work train service.
A tale of three flags. Today is a flag day in Finland: flags must be flown from all public buildings, and most private buildings with flagpoles follow this as well. Today's particularly important, being the day of the Kalevala.
Top left: looking down Laivapojankatu (near home). Top right: looking down Jaalaranta (near home). Bottom: Nokia Research Centre (my office). All in Ruoholahti.
(Not an overly windy day, as you can tell. The flag at work refused to co-operate. Also, apologies for the quality: I forgot my camera today, so these were taken with my N90 and later cropped to fit in the same image.)
Erice is on top of a hill beyond Trapani, and is reached by an enjoyable cable car ride which sweeps you up and down over mostly wild terrain with of course magnificent views of the sea. Its a small enclosed place with lots of interesting buldings, churches, castles, a park, a small museum etc.

Dora Maar
(November 2019 – March 2020)
During the 1930s, Dora Maar’s provocative photomontages became celebrated icons of surrealism.
Her eye for the unusual also translated to her commercial photography, including fashion and advertising, as well as to her social documentary projects. In Europe’s increasingly fraught political climate, Maar signed her name to numerous left-wing manifestos – a radical gesture for a woman at that time.
Her relationship with Pablo Picasso had a profound effect on both their careers. She documented the creation of his most political work, Guernica 1937. He painted her many times, including Weeping Woman 1937. Together they made a series of portraits combining experimental photographic and printmaking techniques.
In middle and later life Maar withdrew from photography. She concentrated on painting and found stimulation and solace in poetry, religion, and philosophy, returning to her darkroom only in her seventies.
This exhibition will explore the breadth of Maar's long career in the context of work by her contemporaries.

I've been wanting to get a picture of the moon and the Lowell Sun sign together for ages. I see the Sun sign every day when I come home from work. They've even replaced all the lights so it's not S N or N. Nice.
I'm not satisfied with this version, so I'll try again some other time. There's too much motion blur -- I want it to be crisp. The difficulty is keeping the camera steady while holding it on a cylindrical rail. I tried a few higher ISO shots so I wouldn't have to stay steady for so long, but anything over 100 had too much noise from the long exposure.
I had another version where it was just the green sign and the moon, but I liked having the red sign in the background -- like a shadow of the green sign in front of it. Granted, the letters don't line up correctly, but that's how it is.
Another definition of insanity is perfectionism, and vice versa.
This is a watercolor that sold before it was even shown. I was setting up for a show and an elderly gentleman was watching me and as I started to hang this piece, he asked if it was for sale. He bought it on the spot. He said that it looked just like the mule he had used to plow with in his youth. It seemed to bring back pleasent memories. That is what art is ment to do.
