Claimed to be the world’s shortest and steepest senic railway. Erected in 1882, the railway is 296 feet in length and lifts passengers 189 feet from 4th steet at the bottom to Fenelon Place at the top. Thats a young girl looking out the window at me, not a ghost. More info can be found on their website here.
More exploring in Dubuque, Iowa led us down into the old warehouse area of town. This building is home of the Voices Warehouse Gallery.
While in Dubuque, Iowa shooting for Loras College, I had some time to wander around “The Key City” and take in the sites. This town is amazing! I love coming down here.
I will return to Appleton on September 30th.
I had the great pleasure of getting to photograph some of the girls of the Paper Valley Roller Girls today. Wow do these girls have energy and talent.
Warm-ups before practice.
Water break
We even had a little time for some impromptu portraits.
Then it’s back to the track.
If you would like to see some more derby girls practice session shots, you can check out more here.
Otherwise stay tuned as I continue to shoot for them throughout the season.
I have been attending the Oshkosh Fly-in off and on ever since I was a small child. Last year was the first year I went down with a camera and a mission to bring back some images. This year I went back to do it again. These are some of my favorite images from this year.
McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II
Bell Helicopter/Boeing Helicopter V-22 Osprey
The Osprey is the world’s first production tiltrotor aircraft.
Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor
“[The] F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built.” Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defense Force, 2004. If you have ever seen it flying you will agree.
Prandtl-Glauert singularities (vapor cones) caused by transonic flight.
A heritage flight featuring the F-22 Raptor, P-38 Lightning, and P-51 Mustang.
P-51 Mustang cockpit.
Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress ‘Aluminum Overcast’ flying during the warbirds airshow.
Nose Art.
North American B-25 Mitchell ‘Panchito’ preparing to leave on Sunday.
Oshkosh isn’t all about warbirds (but I think that is the best part). The AeroShell demonstration team (flying North American AT-6 Texans) flys almost every day and does a great job of it too.
Formation flying.
Photo op with Harrison and a North American F-86 Sabre jet.
Beech 18 or Twin Beech relaxing in the sun.
I had the opportunity to sit in a Quad .50 mount. Who could pass that up?
Leaving the grounds and getting ready for next year.
In between shooting bands Dave and I had some time to walk around and see all some of the things you can see at a Wisconsin festival that are not visable anywhere else. Take these for example:
One of my few weaknesses….. Corndogs.
Dave’s first ever corndog.
The Grater.
80’s advertising - how appealing.
Fresh squeezed lemonade.
Finally, romance was everywhere….

On Thursday, July 3rd, we took a family vacation to Bay Beach Park in Green Bay, WI.
A Miniature Train & Railroad Company G-16. For all you railroad nuts, this is a scale model of an EMD F2 locomotive in 16″ gauge.
Harrison’s reaction to the open air Pullman “Train of Tomorrow” style coaches.
Merry Go Round figurine.
Pavilion floor tile.
What would summer be like with out some ketchup…
…and mustard?
Messy hands.

Stay tuned in for the next post if you like bands like Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, Blueheels, and Lamont Cranston.
