Railroads 6

Our last railroad image is, fittingly, a historic caboose, bringing up the rear.

Railroads

This week our posts will dig through the archives for some images of Railroad engines, cars, or other items. Here is a full-size steam engine reminiscent of so many Lionel train engines of the 1940s and 1950s.

SUNDAY POSTER

The Italian maxim seen on the poster was made to honor my Italian heritage, but it is posted here today for a more specific reason. I am enjoying my day in Rome today!

Balloons 5

We had just taken off from Lisle Community Park, the previous location of the stage events, and had a view of the festival and the swimming pool, all empty at 6:00 AM.

Balloons 4

An impressionistic look at an image I took as some balloons glided past a small pond. Reworking it in Photoshop was lots of fun.

Balloons



This week our posts will look into shots from the three rides I earned as Master of Ceremonies for the first eight Eyes to the Skies Hot Air Balloon Festivals. Two in early morning hours, one at the evening time, and all three wonderful adventures.

SUNDAY POSTER



Love this quote from a great American golfer. The image is the American Flag displayed at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, once a place of great contention and now a memory of a difficult past.

Bye!



Time to leave the Zoo, as these two animals seem ready to be left alone. The Polar Bear is ready for a nap; the gorilla is otherwise occupied.

Chicago Bears





These ponderous, wonderful creatures are the real Chicago Bears. Here the black bears walk along the rocks or step into the pool. A great viewing location.
