A modern-day blacksmith at work in the re-created 19th century smithy at Old Sturbridge Village (OSV), Massachusetts, USA.

This blacksmith's shop dates from 1810 and was originally located at Bolton, Massachusetts. It was moved to OSV in 1957.

OSV is a kind of 'living museum' similar to those found in the UK, such as at St Fagans in Wales, or the Black Country Museum, for example.

At least three distinctive yellow school buses rumble along Route 20 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, in the early afternoon of Tuesday 11th October 2022. My guess would be that these buses were on their way to various schools in this area, ready to pick up children at home time.

It's a little claustrophobic down here in the bowels of Chicago's Union Station, what with the narrowness of the platform and the height of these double-deck trains. I can't remember now whether we were arriving or departing, most likely the latter, in which case we'd be heading west towards Chicago's outer suburbs, passing south of Oak Park and possibly alighting at Downers Grove. I just wish I could remember more details now.

Photograph made sometime in August 1996.
