Jack, you're right about that being in my southern West Virginia days.  We lived in St. Albans, about 12 miles from Charleston.  It was a community of about 15,000 and most of those still working were employees of Carbide or DuPont factories in or near Charleston.  Others, like my Grandma, were still working or beginning to be retired.  She was the assistant Post Master in St. Albans when I was a young girl and then a teen.

Our home was on the Coal River near the mouth where it flowed into the Kanawha--before the Kanawha merged with the Ohio River, down around Huntington, I think.

Marilyne, I've been putting mine into the gallery.  Jeanne Lee can give you the proper instructions for that.  Also Jack put some instructions on how to attach a photo directly from your computer after you have made them the proper size (640 on longest side and not more than 160 Kb).

send them to me, Marilyn

Sue I recall you were from St Albans.  I had looked up the beach you mentioned, but was only able to find the coal river.   Interesting that the coal river flowed into the Kanawha that flowed north to the Ohio river flowing south. 

Jack, I didn't realize the Kanawha flowed north to the Ohio.  The Coal River near our house, flowed into the Kanawha and then went past our house to Huntington where I think the Kanawha joined the Ohio about at the Kentucky border--but it was so long ago that my memory doesn't "remember" quite how things were!

All that  snow! Are these trolleys on rails with metal wheels, or normal tires?  Electricity does not get affected with all that dampness???
......

They were metal wheels on metal tracks.  The track became part of the electric circuit - no danger to anyone.  The trolley sitting there in the snow had probably been there for a couple of days. There were work trolleys with large round (probably two foot diameter or a bit bigger) rotating brushes in front. They were slanted as snow plows are.  You didn't want one of those to go past you as you were driving. I wish I had a pic of one. They were used to keep the tracks clear of snow.  The top of tracks were even with the road, with a recess next to them for the flange of the wheel.  Rough on bicycles.  I sort of miss them all :-(

  I am posting a photo of my Jessie and Zoe crossing the Ohio river on a ferry, and a view of the river flowing from the north.     [attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

                                  This is just a screen shot of how I post photos.

Jack - Thanks so much for going to all that trouble to help me!  I really appreciate it.
My screen looks different from the one you showed.  Do you think it's because I have a Mac, and everyone else has a PC?
When I  click on Attachments, a box comes up that says, "Choose File", from my desktop. Then when I choose and click the photo from my desktop, nothing happens?
I'm going to try to put my photos in the Gallery, and hope that will work for me.

Marilyne, sorry it did not work out.   I took a look on my iPad and the screen was the same as on my computer.   Hope you can make use of the Gallery.

Marilyn, do NOT click on the photo but put the name of the photo in the window opened that has been directed to desktop. After that click on the window next to in-line-full-size.

Guess we are still on Transportation.   This is a photo of my Co-pilot.   For the record she has never been up front, but stays in the back.  Here we were parked and waiting for my son.  She had to take a look.

what car do you have Jack? Looks like a Honda.  They are very popular here.

FlaJean your posh 'carosse' is the Queen's one?

Bubble, yes, good eye.  It is a Honda HRV   (a small CRV)
Jean that carriage is really above our grade   May have a photo or video of one of our local horse drawn ones.

Was thinking of another photo then recalled this one.  It is of my uncle John, taken prior to his going into the army.   He died 10/13/1918   in the last battle of WW1

Bubbles, I took that picture at The Grand Oaks Carriage Museum.  It is one of the world's largest private collections of carriages and equine artifacts.  I did two videos a couple of years ago showing the many different carriages that have been restored.  A man in Ocala created the horses and they look so real.  A wonderful gem of a museum that is in Marion County, FL.

Jack, nice photo of a bygone era.

Thanks for the info Jean.  I would have loved to visit that.

Jack, we seem to have exhausted transportation (no submarines?), so maybe you have a suggestion for next?

How about show me a photo of the seasons, need not be your current season. 

I found a last one for transportation: dangerous crossing!

Tel Aviv winter floods Jan03

Soon will be fall here and lots of color.  The problem is that it is followed by winter.   For winter I still take the occasional walk.  This was several years ago.  Sorry to say the two trees on the left were cut down this year, so things will not look the same along the path.

Love ðŸ'• the snow scene

Jean, a nice scene.  Pray you are missed by the storm, really a monster.

COLD CLOTHESLINES

Don that's a wild shot.   Appears a good wet snow and little wind.

Brrrrrrrrr That looks cold and unreal. 
Is that a frozen cactus standing between the two doors?

That is one COLD looking scene.

We have not had a good snow storm for past 4 years. Love to see the first one but then no more. Don't have anyone to take care of moving it.
It is the Ice storms I hate. The trees really like nice then but also that is when they come crashing down.

bubble.

It is a cactus but it is a plastic light up Arizona 'xmas tree'.
