Nice shots, Akavar. I really enjoyed looking at them and living  
vicariously! Funny thing is I looked at the first one and thought  
"that's Bellows Falls, Vermont." Turns out it's Steamtown, in  
Scranton PA -- but the oddity is that Steamtown was originally in  
Bellows Falls. A couple of years ago I took a bunch of shots with my  
OM1 and a 50 1.8 (acquired from Moose!) at Steamtown -- mostly  
closeups of the famed "Big Boy." I would love to do it again with a  
tripod someday -- these were all handheld with Delta 100 loaded,  
which pushed my ability to hold still, I think.
