IR Photo
May 1st image of my backyard. This infrared image was made with an iPhone SE. Bring up the camera app then increased the exposure by +1 stop, then set the image size to 16x9 format and finally set the style to B&W Noir. I handheld the iPhone while holding a R72 Infrared filter over the lens and made the image. I then resized the image in Photoshop 2022 for the web.

Train Station
The roundhouse was completed in 1849. During the Civil War. Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was given strict orders to stop all train activity at the Martinsburg Roundhouse as a part of a campaign against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company and the Union army. In 1862 Jackson burned down the roundhouses. Following the end of the Civil War, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company rebuilt a roundhouse in Martinsburg. The current roundhouse was constructed in 1866.
