OMG. As cool as it gets! AND that includes, certainly, the erratic and random and semi-worn foliage alongside the sidewalk. WOW!

P.S. The only thing I would add, even though I wasn't asked, so I never do offer, is that I'd put paths of grime on the roadway, marking where tires have passed, as well as within the precincts of the sidewalk, marking the path of most footsteps, which are details I have always added to such features. Perhaps, you can detect some evidence of that work by me in these vignettes...

You certainly are a pleasant person to converse with, N5CJonny. You help make sharing our hobby enjoyable, indeed. (You've helped me be comfortable with having taken the chance to offer unsolicited advice!)

For June 18, a trolley over a train. Baltimore Transit Peter Witt Trolley over an Amtrak Lion Chief passenger on the siding.

Thank you to all who liked my photos and......Happy Father's Day if appropriate!

The photo below is showing my 14th street subway station on my tv and is from a mini cam placed by the station, which is hidden under some furniture. Because of the location, a cam was the only way for me to do what I wanted and to view my station with the limited area I had. By the way, my wife did not mind having a subway station below the furniture.

For June 18.  " Local switch job "

Bulbs are in. Thanks for the assist Brian.

I tried better lighting effects for the 'moonlight' on a previous style shot like this I'd worked on...

Close-ups...very different neighborhoods...
