from the archive

I'm digging through my archive once again as I build my portfolio for Barnstorm , and came across this photo from last August (which will not be in the portfolio, but I realized I'd never blogged about it..). Nothing spectacular, but keep in mind that the simple turning of this bolt was a big deal for downtown CR, as Alliant worked to restore steam to the businesses downtown that rely on it for temperature regulation. We had to go down below the street, into a truly tiny space -- just big enough for me and the steam mechanic. I think he was surprised that I wanted to follow him down -- but, really, how else am I going to get the photo? And, who's going to argue, when I bring my own hard hat?
