I have this same scene on film somewhere, with a different car. Nice shot :-)

Thanks Martin!:D You should post that shot - do you visit Vermont often?

I grew up in Mallets Bay, so Vermont feels like going home for me. I have friends in Alburg, and my wife and I got married in Brandon. I owe so many people pictures, it may take a while but I'll find it and post it. If memory serves me well this picture was taken near Huntington, [link] we were coming home to Montreal from camping in Brandon State Park.

I have some pics from the West Swanton area that are going to be easier to find, they're already digital, I'll put a few of those up.
The Richmond pics are film and are stored in boxes in the attic, they'd be circa 1990-91 or so. There are also some from Essex Junction and I just remembered I have some later digital ones of Streamliners from Saint Albans where I almost had my camera seized.

Looking forward to the VT pics!:D Why was your camera almost seized?

In a nutshell the cars were parked in a fenced yard next to a secured parking lot, and this was shortly post-911. The security guard came out and hailed thinking I was taking pictures of the parking lot. Three other men showed up and were a little threatening (I'm 6'3" and some might say scary looking, but they managed to make me feel uncomfortable). Thankfully I was carrying a DSLR and was able to show them the images I'd taken; they let me go but they did get my name and address from my drivers license. In hindsight I should have insisted to see some ID from them before showing mine, or insisting that the police file a report since I was on public property, but by then they had managed to move our discussion to the front steps of the guardhouse.
I never figured out what they were so protective of, it just looked like a normal parking lot to me and I wouldn't have given it a second glance otherwise, but I've often wondered since. It did inspire the opening scene in "The Kentauride," although I situated it in upstate New York, so something positive did come out of it. :-)

Wow, what a weird experience - especially for Vermont! It was good that you could at least use it in your writing.:D
