Quakertown Fire Company No. 1

Quakertown Fire Company No. 1, 505 West Broad Street, Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Bucks County Station 17. Part of the Quakerstown Fire Department along with Station 18, West End Fire Company No. 2. I was unable to find out too much about Station 17, their website is currently down. The cornerstone reads 1971. Talks of a merger with West End started in 2008 and they have a combined website now.

High Country Sunset

Just another awesome sunset in the mountains of Colorado. You can take the camera man off the beach but you can't keep him from pointing that camera at the setting sun.

Loring Building Products (PG 181)

Loring Building Products is still an active business located on Main Street, Manayunk, Philadelphia. And yes that is Philly Fire Department Engine 12 on the left there. But beside the big old Painted Gentleman check out the U.S. Hotel Bar and Grille. That is a cool old building isn't it?

This picture is handheld, so it's not perfect. The red light right of center on top is an airplane landing in Newark, NJ.

Yonkers Fire Department, Headquarters Station

Yonkers Fire Department, Headquarters Station, 5-7 New School Road, Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. Home of Tower Ladder 71, Rescue 1 and the Mask Service Unit. Built in 1927. Yonkers Fire Department went paid in 1896 but many volunteer departments served the city prior to that. Stating with the Protection Engine Company No. 1 in 1852. YFD currently mans 12 stations throughout the city limits. Yonkers sits just north of the Bronx, NYC. 
Early Sunday morning while I was taking these pictures they got a run just around the block from the firehouse. I noticed, while fixing the pictures that the lights on the front of the building are just like the original lights on my old firehouse (Vigilant Hose Company of Shippensburg, PA. at 129 East King Street) Then I saw that this station was built in 1927 and ours was opened in 1928.

Happy Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. These turkeys were strolling the high country of north central Colorado. They are Merriam's Turkeys, one of the five subspecies of North America, along with the Eastern, the Rio Grande, Gould's and the Osceola (or Florida) Wild Turkey. The Merriam's are found primarily in the ponderosa pine forests of Colorado, New Mexico and northern Arizona. The can be distinguished by the lighter feathers at the base of their tail.
