The Big Boy 4014 Departing Palestine
The 46-degree November morning was worth the chill, standing for ninety minutes watching the Big Boy blow steam and enliven the gathering crowd of spectators. I’ll have more to say about this memorable weekend in the following days, but I wouldn’t have traded this morning for anything. All of us laughed at what happened as the train pulled away:
I’m not sure why I was continuing to take pictures. And why I was surprised to be engulfed in steam and smoke I am not sure either. But we stood and laughed together for awhile, and I still smile at the remembrance. At any rate, I have well over a hundred photos and several videos to edit in preparation for my next watercolor.
More later, thanks for reading.
I make art in order to iscover.
I journal when I feel alone.
I blog to remind myself I am not alone.
