Whilst there’s not been the deluge that we had yesterday the weather here in the Costa del Calder is hardly balmy, more like barmy if I’m honest! Still, it hasn’t got in my way as I’ve been tied to a hot computer for most of it, picture editing and/or writing. One of my tasks has been to gradually rationalise the number of picture galleries on my Zenfolio website as I drag some back for their archive status to merge them with others. Here’s an example – USA railway images. If you enjoy the New York subway you might like some of the shots it contains. Today’s picture is a sample. Here’s a 2007 image which can’t be captured today.

A Line 7 train calls at the elevated (split level) station at Queensboro Plaza on the 7th April 2007, with the Queensborough bridge in the background. Due to redevelopment in the area this shot’s no longer possible. I went back in 2018 to try and recreate it but the car park I’d climbed up to the top floor of had disappeared.

I’ve dozens more galleries I’ll be amalgamating but it’s going to take some time. The end result will be a more streamlined website where it’s easier to find pictures by country, category or event.

Tomorrow’s meant to be another iffy day weather-wise. it seems October’s continuing where September left off so I’ll be spending another day working from Bigland Towers. Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t come up with an interesting picture of the day – just don’t ask me what it’ll be yet!

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
