Extra special Merry Christmas cheer rolls along Maine’s model railways.
Maine
Winter solstice special run
In celebration of the winter season, a special train has been dispatched from north of Madawaska; long live the long night.
Happy Christmas season
From the annual model railroad display at the Maine State Library-Museum-Archives lobby last Dec. 6: Santa is on his way. Merry Christmas
Log work
Culvert flow artform
Natural suds form patterns at the bog creek culvert.
Leaves a shadow
Welcome to the USA
A routine overhead view from our neighborhood: aircraft from Europe cruise at 30,000 ft (or so) westward over Maine.
Sunset over the bog
Last week, during one of our routine patrols around the beaver bog; less and less light on each day after work now.
Stillness on the pond
A quiet Sunday morning on Taylor Pond, Auburn ME.
Evening calm
Unpredictable weather sometimes threatens our evening patrols through the woods; apprehension turns to calm if one remembers, “Mother nature made it green, the prettiest place you’ve ever seen ….”
Thank you, Stephen Stills.
