Hood ornaments of yore sure did have a lot of women in provocative clothing. I knew there was a reason I like to photograph hood ornaments.

This spring and summer I am taking the "Regional Road Trip" class with the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa.

For week five, we went to Brockville, Ontario, where we were looking at building decay through a shoot at the once venerable Brockville Shopping Centre, now only marginally in business. Most of the big stores are gone, and the peeling paint, faded or painted-over signs, crumbling concrete, graffiti, and emerging weeds are amazing studies of light, shadow, texture, colour, and thematic imagery for photographers.

Tras los pasos del antiguo Cremallera de Montserrat.

"Arqueología ferroviaria"

Esta fotografía muestra el lugar exacto donde se ubicaba el antiguo culatón ferroviario del "Cul de Sac" del cremallera de Montserrat, en Castellbell i el Vilar. Hoy en día, los raíles y las traviesas han desaparecido por completo; en su lugar, un tranquilo camino de tierra flanqueado por una densa vegetación es el único testimonio del espacio que ocupaba esta infraestructura ferroviaria.

Resulta evocador caminar por este sendero e imaginar el contraste con el pasado: el rugido de aquellas pequeñas locomotoras de vapor deteniéndose bruscamente en este punto muerto, el denso humo y el cambio de agujas a contrarreloj para iniciar de forma segura la mítica ascensión hacia el Monasterio de Montserrat. Lo que a principios del siglo XX fue una ingeniosa solución de ingeniería, hoy es un tramo integrado en la naturaleza que resiste al olvido.

Castellbell i el Vilar Station - Monistrol de Montserrat (Barcelona)

In the footsteps of the old Montserrat Rack Railway.


"Railway Archaeology"

This photograph shows the exact spot where the old "Cul de Sac" dead-end siding of the Montserrat rack railway was located in Castellbell i el Vilar. Today, the tracks and sleepers have completely vanished; instead, a peaceful dirt path flanked by dense vegetation is the only remaining trace of the space once occupied by this railway infrastructure.

It is evocative to walk along this path and imagine the contrast with the past: the roar of those small steam locomotives coming to a halt at this dead end, the thick smoke, and the ticking-clock switch operation before safely initiating the legendary climb up to the Montserrat Monastery. What was an ingenious engineering solution in the early 20th century is today a stretch reclaimed by nature that resists oblivion.
