11-26-12 Shelburne Museum

Like I said in the previous post my friend Charlotte came out from Mississippi to visit me and we went to the Shelburne Museum.
 The special exhibit was snowmobiles, this was notable.  A proper schoolbus.
 This one was just classy.  The style is so indicative of the times.  It was actually quite a cool exhibit.
 That is right, a snowmobile motorcycle.  Made for the military, able to be broken down, and very, very dangerous.  And yet I want one.

 The train that is kept there.
 I just liked this shot of the signals.
 Although I do have an affection for rusted things.
 The Ticonderoga, I have many fond memories of this as a kid.  Still is cool.
 The inside of its boilers.  Just fascinating that these things really did what they did.  Mechanics.
 And the interior is just beautiful.  Not the worse way to cross Lake Champlain.
 The pilot house.  It was open for the first time in my visits.  I am such a dork.
 Just some nice image of multiples.  These held medications and herbs.
 And of course the straight razors which I had so much more an appreciation for this time than when I was younger given I use them to shave.
 I just like this.  It is my desktop on my phone.
 Seriously.  I didn't know there was a cure.
 From the print shop.  I do have sets of movable type so it always has fascinated me.
 Because it was that kind of day, a bit cold but amazing light.
 And robot sculptures.
 Because why not!
The stairs in the lighthouse.  Such a unique buildings with huge iron bolts throughout the walls but still stylish.
 Charlotte rocking it next to the lighthouse lens.  It was an awesome visit and we had a lot of fun.
