Thanks you all for the words of encouragement. I did not mean to worry you but I did not have much energy for quite some time and was disconnected from almost everything.
I have missed so many good club photo field trips . Our club has grown so much that now the number of club members attending the outings is averaging around a dozen. That is really great .
Our club was planning another trip to take photos of the famous steam engine, the Pere Marquette 1225 but unfortunately an announcement was just released that the locomotive has some serious issues with the superheater. The super heaters poor the pressurized steam back through the hot gas of the fire a second time to add more heat to the steam. For an engine this size, there are. more than 8,000 feet o superheating tubing. It all has to be inspected and restored. And these super heaters are deep inside the boiler.
This is a real bummer for the club members who were all excited about photographing this historic engine. Hopefully next year I can join them.
Peter, that is a beautiful sky and silhouette of the skyline. It looks so peaceful. And Peter, I think I recently read about the art work of the banana duct taped to a blank canvas. How insane.
