Spent quite a bit of time scanning in new stuff for my collection on the transportation galleries. One really interesting photo was this of a northbound train from St. Louis in 1911 in Elsberry, Mo. 100 years has passed since this train left the station. … Continue readingUpdates to Transportation galleries…
Quite a few photos uploaded, and some really interesting stuff. This photo is of a grove of pine trees near my home, it was very interesting how the fog and sun conspired to make an extremely interesting scene. Probably one of my favorite shots from … Continue readingPine Island…
