A wonderful thing about Love Thursday is once you are hooked you spend much of the week looking for love to photograph.
Sometimes you find it, sometimes it finds you, sometimes you create it. Other times it needs a little push.
I was sorting through some costume jewelry when I realized with a little help these old earrings still were able to make a statement.
Happy Love Thursday !
The mystery has been solved. What we are looking at was once Part of The Troy & Schenectady Railroad back in the 1800’s. The tunnel was originally part of route 146 with the railroad right of way overhead. As the automobile became the preferred mode of travel it was necessary to bypass the tunnel.
The view in the old photo I located (via the internet naturally) was taken from the opposite side of the tunnel my photo was taken on. If we could time warp both photos into real time and that little guy in the old photo was to turn around he would be looking into the future directly at me.
The good news is the track has been removed and it is now a bike path winding and twisting along what once was a vital rail link in this area. It runs along the Mohawk River and links in places with what was once the Erie Canal tow path and Aqueduct. The total length of the bike path is now 35 miles.
Todays Shutter Sisters theme is pictures that speak for themselves so to speak.
The stories that go along with most pictures are to me as important as the photo. Today however, let’s see if a picture really is worth a thousand words and if I can keep my big mouth shut about the rest of the story.
This one doesn’t throw candy wrappers & trash all over the front lawn
He doesn’t doesn’t play loud video games with the audio pumped through a stereo system all night.
He has never overflowed the bathtub and flooded my apartment.
He never does any of those inconsiderate things neighbors do.
Too bad the human contingent can’t follow his example.
