Greenville Junction Depot Friends is an organization based in Greenville, Maine, dedicated to the preservation of the historic Greenville Junction Depot. The depot was built in 1889 and served as a hub for the community's transportation needs until 1963 when it was closed due to declining train usage.

The Greenville Junction Depot Friends was formed in 1992 by a group of local citizens who saw the potential of the depot as a community asset. Their mission is to restore and maintain the depot and to promote its use as a community center. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations and grants to fund its projects.

Over the years, the Greenville Junction Depot Friends have completed numerous restoration projects, including the replacement of the depot's roof, the installation of new windows, and the refurbishment of the waiting room. The organization also hosts community events throughout the year, such as an annual Christmas celebration and a summer concert series.

The Greenville Junction Depot Friends have been successful in their efforts to revitalize the depot, which now serves as a vital community resource. The organization's dedication to preserving the history and heritage of Greenville has made it a beloved institution in the community.

Solar Eclipse Yesterday, I and my family traveled north and west in Maine to see a total eclipse of the sun. We intended to go into the town of Greenville about 2 hours and 20 minutes away under normal conditions. We never actually got there as about 12 or so miles from the town the traffic slowed to about 3 miles per hour. We decided to explore a small road that led through a rural area. It took awhile but we found a more or less perfect place with a few other people all parked along the road in the small community of Blanchard. It had a couple of large open fields on one side and a cemetery on the other. It was warm and not a cloud in the sky. The totality lasted about 3.5 minutes. I had not intended to try to photograph the sun but at the last minute decided to just take a series of photos by quickly going through a set of camera settings. I took of the eye protection and enjoyed the rest of the show with a couple more photos toward the horizon. Only when I got back last evening and was able to see the exposures was I able to see this and other images. I used Topaz to double the size and to remove noise. A few basic adjustments in Lightroom were done. I will probably work one this and a couple others. There are many options available. The two red shapes in the corona are solar prominences as described below. I thing the red dot on the right is noise as it is not in other exposures. In solar physics, a prominence, sometimes referred to as a filament, is a large plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the solar corona. While the corona consists of extremely hot plasma, prominences contain much cooler plasma, similar in composition to that of the chromosphere. Prominences form over timescales of about a day and may persist in the corona for several weeks or months, looping hundreds of thousands of kilometers into space. Some prominences may give rise to coronal mass ejections. Scientists are currently researching how and why prominences are formed. [Wikipedia]

Milky Way in Maine It was my first time trying to photograph and process images of the Milky Way. This is taken in Maine near Moosehead Lake in one of the areas with Bortle 1 classification. I had done no preparation on appropriate camera settings, so my set up/settings were not ideal. Taken with a TTArtisan 11mm at f2.8.
