I did not hear from several regulars. For some reason the blog was not sent out until Wednesday.
That did not stop Michelle, Mike, Peyton, Mariann, and Joani from coming through with Peru. Newcomer, Steve T. joined the Peruvian bandwagon!
"Commuter Line, Sort Of. . .
One of the members of my camera club and a follower of this blog - Mariann - managed to get us permission to shoot within the confines of the busy transportation center. We were even allowed to use tripods!
The only no-nos were no tripods on the platforms and no definitive shots of people.
I packed away my fisheye lens to try to have some fun. Unfortunately the odd 8mm decided to protest the shoot. It had a constant reading of f/45 - not sure where this came from! So I made the best out of a difficult situation.
The rail car has been processed through various PhotoShop and NIK plug-ins to get this look. Just don't ask me how I did it!
Where in the World?

Where in the World?
Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be? (No excuse for not getting this one!)
This small country is home to two very small
independent states within its borders!
Countries that border it are Austria, France,
Vatican City, San Marino, and Switzerland.
It has many earthquakes and volcanoes due
to the conflict between the Eurasian and the African tectonic plates. Two
volcanoes are a constant danger to humans due to their closeness to big cities.
This country was the birthplace of the
Renaissance, which was a period of great cultural achievements in poetry,
painting and architecture. Famous artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael,
Donatello, and Leonardo Da Vinci were part of the Renaissance.
Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Maserati
are well known car manufacturers.
The most popular sport here is football (soccer)as
it has won four world cups, the last one being in 2006.
It hosted the 1960 Summer Olympic Games, but the
Winter Olympics have been held here three times.
Many famous scientists and mathematicians were
born and raised - Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Alessandro Volta, and Fibonacci to name just a
few.

BARRELS OF OIL
When the first oil wells were
drilled they had made no provision for storing the liquid so they used water
barrels. That is why, to this day, we speak of barrels of oil rather than
gallons.
