Two-Years Ago (06-August-2014) – Finland

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 67: Semester at Sea, Summer 2014 Semester Voyage. Helsinki, Finland.

Helsinki Train Station. Field trip to Rovaniemi. Waiting to board an overheated (35°C) overnight train. We were supposed to get a sleeper car, but instead were put on an out of date car attached to the end of the train that didn’t have air conditioning. I expect they never thought it gets hot in Finland.

Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 6: Eastern Sierra Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Bodie State Historic Park.

Images taken on my second visit to Bodie State Park. California maintains the park in a state of arrested decay. The park is a National Historic District, and is known as a wild-west gold mining ghost town. All of the images were converted to monochrome/sepia to fit with the historic nature of the ghost town. The Schoolmarm’s hat is a repeat of an image I  took during my first visit to Bodie.
