This was shot on Saturday afternoon in New Hope PA. It is the New Hope Ivyland Steam Train as it gets ready to take tourists on another run. It is quite a charming scene especially this time of year with Thanksgiving having just passed and Christmas just around the corner.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Princeton University is pretty close to where I live. I think it has some of the most beautiful architecture that I have ever seen. The stonework is just amazing and the colors are beyond belief.

This is a very common sight here and on most college campuses. Like most college campuses the students rely on bicycles for transportation.

Ooooh! Nice car!

I'm not much of a car person but this one caught my eye as it rounded this Jersey City street corner.

One major improvement that has really made a difference in Jersey City is the Light Rail System. It was opened to the public in the spring of 2000.

Hudson-Bergen Light Rail offers service from North and South Hudson County into the downtown Jersey City waterfront and Hoboken. The light rail trains provide transpoprtation for residents and employees, throughout Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City, West New York and North Bergen. It also serves as transportation to business and shopping centers including Exchange Place, Newport Centre and Hoboken. It will also connect passengers to other transit alternatives such as NJ TRANSIT buses and trains, the NY Waterway ferry, and PATH trains to New York City.

This was shot the same day as this shot. This was the engineer for the New Hope Ivyland train the day that I was there a couple of weeks ago. He was doing his inspection of the engine while the it was taking water and preparing for its next run.

I haven't been out to shoot in quite a while, since I was sick. All of my cued-up archive shots somehow don't seem to fit for me right now so I am running out of things I want to post. I think I will have to deal with that this weekend, or maybe even tomorrow. We are supposed to get some snow!

"Tis' The Season"

This is from the same day and location in New Hope Pennsylvania as this shot. I am very fond of vintage rail travel, particularly the old steam engines like this one. It's something I've inherited from my dad. When we were young my dad often took us to the rail yards and museums.

One of my brothers worked for Conrail years ago and he took me to the rail yard so I could look around and get a very close up look at the trains. He even took me inside the big diesel engine and I got to look at the huge pistons. We went inside the "garage". I don't know if that's the correct term, but he took me down into the pit and I got to have a look at the underside of the big diesel engines that were in there for repairs. I thought it was a little creepy but so cool.

My neighbor loved the framed print that I gave her of the purple mum from the last post. She also told me that she knows the woman who owns a framing store in town who is looking to showcase local artists in her store which she is expanding to include a gallery. I met with the her yesterday (thank-you Holly for introducing us) and she picked five prints that she wants to showcase in June. I am very excited especially since this store is in my hometown.
