Challenge #7

Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises* of Yourself!

I feel like I've done that a lot this challenge, but here goes:

* My Denali gallery is one of my favorites. If you want more pictures of staying in the park, and taking the train there, I have all my entries linked here, and some of my other entries of note as well.

* I did a long post on Pre-WWII passenger rail travel providing details useful to fic writers. My offer to provide more info if I have it still stands. The post was born out of frustration over trying to do online research on the subject, so I wound up buying books and working with a librarian. (And yet I haven't finished any of my own fic that involves trains. Someday. And by someday I mean this year.)

* My most popular photo gallery by a wide margin is my Portland Mausoleum Gallery. It has pictures from years of visits, including some pictures I added this year.

* My fics are here

I linked my Isometric stuff last post. Drawing, writing, photography, train babble ... what else do I do? That's all I got right now. I am working on a lot of things, but I cannot bend the rules of time and post them before I do them.

Neat!

Thanks!

That is so awesome that you did that research and have it available for others to use!

[olivermoss]

Thanks! A lot of what is available online is very limited and, for example, almost every online article on the Orient Express pulls from the same book but seems to mis-understand core details in the same way.

Your Denali photographs are beautiful! I'm going to look at them again when I can see them on a larger monitor. And more of your photo galleries. Thanks so much for sharing these!

Thank you! I really loved the texture and the variation of the tundra up in Alaska.

Have you read The Railway Journey? It's my favorite book about early passenger trains and their social impact, and it has a ton of excellent pictures (though if you're getting it for the pictures, make sure you get the Urizen Books edition, as the later University of Chicago Press edition removed most of the illustrations).

I haven't, but that looks like an interesting book. I'll have to pick it up. I would definitely want the pictures, so I'll be careful about editions. Thanks!
