Canadian Pacific

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 25 January 2008 in Transportation and Portfolio.

I'm pretty much digging to the bottom of the barrel. I still haven't gotten my laptop back with all my new and old images on it. My guy here in town is having some challenges trying to get a hold of the warranty people. I'm going to get very angry soon and do some snarling at the people who assured me that the warranty would fix my computer. Big deep sigh. So until I get out again I'm just picking through what I do have archivally... which isn't a whole heck of a lot... It's Friday, kids!!! And right now that's my silver lining on the cloud called my laptop woes!! LOL

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

Well for archive shots, this one is most cool. When I was a kid and had my own HO scale model railroad, my first really cool engine was a Canadian Pacific by Tyco.

Umm, "this one" meaning the combo of both... Good luck with your laptop cloud blues.

Yah, but some of the sweetest honey lies at the bottom of the barrel. I like this combination and the presentation. I can't wait until the steam train is running and we can go back there.

I think the one on the left would be even cooler blown up on its own!

Eh, well, I guess the gold settled on the bottom of the barrel.

Amy....your bottom of the barrel is better than the top of mine!

I really like diptyches (or should that be diptychii :-).....you should make some more from what's left down there in the bottom of that barrel of yours.....this one is great!

@bronzebilly u.k.: Good tip about the crying... I may yet have to resort to that. Does it work on the phone? LOL

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States

Perfectly matched pictures! Love it!

Nice combination, ... colors, cropping, ... I do not understand, however, why you have the major part on the left picture is blurry, why on the right it's not.

@Jan: The image on the left was focused on the grass in the foreground, I didn't want the steps in focus. It was an attempt at seeing what is before you but knowing there's more. The coupling of the images was to show two different parts of the train but still holding the integrity of artistic license. Thanks so much for your comment Jan!!
