From my visit in February 2014.

Attached are a few photos from the winter of 2014 and the ice flows on the Delaware River.  Enjoy.

Joshua Tree National Park

Needed a break from the cold, so i headed to Joshua Tree.  Neat place if your like high desert scrub land.  Very cool shadows at sunset and sunrise.  Enjoy.

Icy Day Derailment

CSX has a small problem on their hands.  This train derailed east of the Delaware River Bridge and apparently started to cross the river. 

The remaining cars on the bridge.  This could have been real bad.

Power for the Juice Train is on the left and other power at the Yardley SEPTA station.

Not Yellowstone

Since our collective leaders cannot get their heads out of their asses, I am forced to head to unknown locations.  A few from surrounding National Forests.

A Lancaster County Morning

I had a "free" day and decided to head to Lancaster County to photograph the Strasburg Railroad Steam Freight.  Once arriving, I was greeted with a early morning balloon ride.  Enjoy

Butterfly

It's been way to long so I thought it was time to post something up.

Here is a good looking butterfly who was hanging out over the weekend.  Enjoy

235th Anniversity of Washington Crossing the Delaware

235 years ago on December 25th, 1776, George Washington and his troops launched a daring raid on Trenton, NJ.  The Friends of Washington Crossing host an annual reenactment of the event.  A few photos from the day.

NMIH - Bethlehem Steel Blast Furnaces

After the NMIH visit, the group ventured down to the blast furnaces for a few additional photographs.  There a lights which illuminate the blast furnaces.  On this night, they are blue.

National Museum of Industrial History - Beth Steel Visit

The National Museum of Industrial History sponsored a photo shoot in conjunction with the Lehigh Valley Photography Month.  A small group gathered in one of the NMIH buildings which will eventually be their museum.  The building used to be the electrical shop of Bethlehem Steel.

East Broad Top Railroad in the Snow - October 2011

A rare early season snow was all the reason to head West to visit the East Broad Top Railroad.  It was well worth the driving hazards.  Enjoy.
