Signs, album created on 29 Jul 2026

Usually attracted to older signage, which for me is "Googie" architecture. This style appeared in the 1950's in Southern California, and affected buildings (and signage) across the west. Some restaurants I've visited still have the older sign, but the interior has been re-designed.

Rail Yards, album created on 12 Jul 2026

The hard, dirty work of transporting vast amounts of material, falls on the railroads of the world (including the USA). We have been able to get some photos of rail yards in action, so this album has been created.

Heavy Weather in South Dakota

We were awakened by the weather radio warning a few nights ago. The rain had passed, and when we looked out, we saw a huge lightning display in the sky (no ground strikes, thank you). This video is made up of phone video, combined with selected stil… - See all videos

Our Travels (Part 1.0) - 2 months ago

This is a not-quite-up-to-date list of travels involving my wife and myself. I've included travel experiences from before we met. Many of these travels involve photography. We are both avid amateurs, and really started taking lots of photos when digital cameras came out. Anyway on to the list, which is located at swansongrp.com/P/p/trips/index.html Hmm, seems that Ipernity has truncated the entire entry, so this is just part 1... - - - - - - Introduction -- First of all, this l…

  • Our Travels (part 0.10)

    - 03 Jul 2026
    Since the "travels" articles are in reverse time order, this set appears before 2018 (part 1). After 2022, we got confused. So, we'll try to use the same notation they provide for software releases. 2021 -- Oh well, ANOTHER 'transition' year for us. Our "plans" to have two apartments (summer and winter) were destroyed by the Valentine Day snow/ice storms in Texas. Our apartment in New Braunfels was "electric only". We weren't allowed to have ANY open flame. So, when the electricity failed,…

  • Making Your Own Interactive Photo Album

    - 03 Jul 2026
    Not all of my photos are on Ipernity (nor on Flickr*). I have placed a number of photos on my personal website: swansonphotos.com/P/p and follow the links. There are all of our travel photos, as well as links to pages that describe our travels. After trying various systems to make static photo sites, I discovered HUGO. The above link points to a HUGO-created site, which includes some very nice interactive albums of photos on a specific "theme". - - - - On another front, I have b…
