Poco più di un mese fa, la cometa NEOWISE dava spettacolo nei nostri cieli, specialmente prima dell'alba.
Fra Perseo, Auriga ed Orsa maggiore, la sua coda arcuata segnava un'orbita che la riporterà da queste parti fra quasi 7000 anni... un battito di ciglia per la storia del pianeta e del sistema solare ma 100 volte la vita di un uomo.

Time seems to be moving at an exponential pace. I'm going to guess that this was one of my many encounters with BA5. A very reliable middle of the day turn back south out of Burnham Yard for Blue Island. I hid in the weeds on the north side of Calumet Park for this view.
The B&O mainline east from Barr Yard is running across the center of the frame from right to left. The wiggly wiggles on the left side is the Harbor's connection to what remains of the PRR's SC&S. And of course the Harbor is on the....well, maybe it isn't so obvious. Calumet Park also contained the crossing of the Michigan Central's mainline with the B&O and PRR. The present Harbor Belt main east from Calumet Park is actually the Michigan Central main from what Ive put together. The ancient Harbor predecessor Chicago, Hammond and Western would have sliced across the MC at Calumet Park way back in the day as they were actually destined for Whiting, via Calumet City Yard, State Line and Burnham Yard.
At least I think I have that right...

Some interesting character on display here, and a notable difference in attitude by gender.
this photo incidentally looks like photos i took around this time 13 yrs ago, in the autumn of 2011. which incidentally look like they sound like the band pavement ((because i listened to them all the time back then))
Lo so, in questo periodo è pieno di immagini della bellissima cometa NEOWISE... ma non potevo esimermi dal pubblicare anche la mia :)
I meno giovani, come me, si ricorderanno però della maestosa Hale-Bopp di fronte alla quale anche questa bella viaggiatrice celeste impallidisce e ne appare solo come una pallida imitazione
Qui la cometa con la sua coda principale di polveri ed un accenno di quella di ioni. Posa unica di 20 secondi a 163mm di focale, f/5.6, ISO 3200 con Canon 800D e inseguitore Vixen

I'm thinking of scanning the box of prints / envelope of negatives as a source of entertainment this wintery long weekend.
My all-time buddy and me at the Kunstmuseum Bonn (Bonn Art Museum), December 1993

"The Kunstmuseum Bonn is not only renowned for its collection, but due to its exceptional architecture, it is also a highlight of the Federal City of Bonn, which can hold its own internationally as well.
The building by Axel Schultes, with its ambitious concept of “flowing” space, provides convincing conditions both in terms of the dimensions of the individual rooms, their visual and material connecting axes, as well as with reference to the flow of light, for optimally presenting art in all of its facets, from the Classical Modern to the varieties of the most recent art.
After the Museum had been housed for many years in cramped conditions in the inner city of Bonn, the building that had been planned in the mid-1980s by the team of architects Dietrich Bangert, Bernd Jansen, Stefan Scholz and Axel Schultes (BJSS) was opened in June of 1992. As a component of the Bonn Museum Mile the architecture is convincing both from the outside and from the inside due to its openness and its flow of light. The discreet, but in no way somber, language of forms with its playful components does not lose itself in a self-celebration of architecture. Indebted in its size to the spirit of the late 1980s, the building wholly subordinates itself to its service function as an exhibition location for the fine arts, also from a practical standpoint."
