Not sure where to post this, but our subdivision newsletter used two of my winter storm photographs this month. Not a big deal, but it's kind of fun to see them in print. (I think I posted some of the pictures in Nikonites).
When I was in junior college many decades ago I had a number of railroad stories and photos published in a small circulation magazine and learned a lot from the kindly Editor. I have a friend who is an excellent writer and photographer, and literally "wrote the book" on a railroad that sits on my shelf. That must be a fine feeling of accomplishment.

Congratulations on the newsletter photos. Did you post them with this post? If so, I don't see them.
I've been gone for a while. Work dismissed early due to the weather, so when I came home out came the camera and I captured a Red Headed Wood Picker on the bird feeder. He would get some seeds out of the feeder and then bury them in the bark of a near by oak tree. It was fun to watch him, and all the other birds, but he is extremely shy.

During the spring of 1999, Belgrade was (moderately:topsy_turvy:) bombed by NATO air force. Today, in front of one of the destroyed government buildings, there is a neon-billboard advertising Milka chocolates. The message reads: dare to show your tenderness.

Great night shots. The last night shot I got in NY NY was at night from the top of the World Trade Center.
These were taken from my son's apartment, across the street from the World Trade Center.

When I was there they had just finished the first tower and the second one was almost finished. Glad I got to do that before they were leveled.
Under the heading of irony came another example last night when I was looking on line at a great many old and mostly unseen railroad photographs. To a fan, the images are stunning in their subject matter.
Many were taken in the 1930s and one features an ocean freighter at a North Carolina port with a caption reading simply "Loading scrap for Japan". Who knew?
I did some research and found that the freighter was sunk years later in 1942 by a German U-Boat with all hands lost while in a convoy from New York to Murmansk. The U-Boat was in turn sunk with all hands lost in 1943.
