hopping a freight
and posing with
old cars

 

Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car
Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo
Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..
Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978
Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!

In one section of the stream -part of the Susquehanna- it ran through a chute under logs very swift moving and carrying right along some blue sky in a blur...4-11-15
stream winding through woods and fields below the hill the rest area was located on... here was looking down through hemlocks at a pool in the stream...4-11-15
Reflective beauty in a back water pool off of the fast flowing main stream of Six Mile this beautiful Sunday... the winter was a distant memory, long gone, far away today! 4-12-15
