Another Storm Through Carbondale & Scranton – Coca-Cola & Lackawanna Country Railroad
Photo Storm that is. I snapped this Coke ad last summer but lost the camera at the Madonna Concert (wild night) before downloading the images. This morning I drove through the dusting of snow to Carbondale to retrace the steps Vincenzo and I took. It’ll take several weeks to post the gigabyte of images uncovered today- from rooftops to train tracks.
Skeletal images in some of the lettering of the Lackawanna County Railroad caught my eye. I climbed the catwalk and took a close-up of one of the urban ediglyphs.

Red Maples Golf Course – near South Canaan, PA

Did you know that the core of golf balls are made with gutta percha, the same material used to fill root canals (endodontic therapy)? Red maples are not as exotic. They should not be confused with sugar maples which produce the fabulous pancake syrup. Aren’t trees great? You can ruin your teeth and then rebuild them with tree sap!
