Have A Vote. You’ll Feel Better

Feeling a little stressed? Have a vote. It will make you feel better. It doesn’t make the ads and posts go away though…….We originally planned to be away on Election Day so requested a mail in ballot. Easiest, most relaxed process ever! And you can Vote Early in person at City Hall started Oct 19 (today). Here’s a link for more info and some information pasted from the City Hall website:

Next Station Manchester

I’ve long wanted to try to capture an arriving train under this Manchester sign. Before you mention safety concerns, please understand I use my long lens to zoom in and not my feet. As with wildlife, I keep a safe distance relying on my lens and cropping tools to do the trick. I was a very safe distance away while photographing.
