the railyards



-----------------photos by Elaine A. Russell


so -- went on a photo expedition today. It was a FlickR photo group outing.. and didn't exactly go as planned... * if ya wanna know -- I'll tell ya later*

Woke up early --after only 3 hours of sleep.. got to the railyards in downtown ABQ around 8am.....and spent a pleasant hour or so wandering about taking photos. Having never been before.. to this ABQ iconic place... it was feckin awesome. I see why so many people have snuck in there over the years. It is now "off limits" to the general public, and is in the paperwork stages of becoming a museum. (http://www.wheelsmuseum.org/)

Today there was a local group there that was participating in the 48hrs filmfest (http://www.48hourfilm.com/albuquerque/).
I had an incredible time, and wish to thank them profusely for allowing me to take some photos.


Then --- the hubby and I went to the Chocolate Cafe (yummy desserts !) ... where I am participating in a photo show thru the end of August. I did a canvas print of a rusty old chevy... it is near the door if you want to stop by and look. (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60933-d554835-Reviews-Chocolate_Cafe_Bakery-Albuquerque_New_Mexico.html ). The show will be up thru the end of August in the cafe.

Then... went to the mall for a much needed massage. I can't say enough about the folks at Panda Break (http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=214). They were kind, conscientious, and really helped me out alot.

Now... for some motrin and food... and a shower :) ----- and maybe some CSI !!
