Recently, we were able to view #4012 at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania. In addition to "museum" examples, since the re-start of #4014, we've managed to s…

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.

Since the "travels" articles are in reverse time order, this set appears before 2018 (part 1). After 2022, don't know what I'll do. 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.…

These will supplement those on I…
