Train cars: The Chevy Shot

The Chevy Shot, originally uploaded by ericwill.

We often feature train shots by our friend EW here on the blog, and here is another one.  I don't know the back story, but just look at this - the diesel locomotive running by, the old car from the 1950s, the grain silo and the funnels to release who knows what into sacks, barrels or truckbeds. It is a historical moment, just like so many other moments that pass by us without notice. A photo of America's past, but taken just a year ago.

Stamps of the day: Locomotive stamps from Royal mail

Royal Mail in Britain have invented the "intelligent stamp". Together with an Iphone and an App it´s the ticket to exclusive material on Royal Mail Channel. Read more here. And if you don´t have an Iphone the stamps are pretty to look at anyway!
