So my "picture" of the day is another moving picture. The producer of the video is exploring a couple sites in the pine barrens of New Jersey. He and is friends set off down an old railroad spur (it wasn't clear to me whether it was still used or not) to where they can then split off and follow an old road to the remains of an abandoned town (Fries Mill), and then on to the more modern remains the New Jersey Silica Sand Company, some sort of concrete manufacturing facility.
The ruins aren't all that interesting, but I found the trek down the railroad line to be interesting because it shows what travel along one might be like. Also, at one point, one of the gang was sent off to try and find some additional ruins and got lost; and although he texted his Google location to the producer/narrator, the location was wrong. They were finally able to link up with the lost guy, but this illustrates a situation where loud audible signals would have been useful, such as using one of the super loud whistles intended for signaling or, if they'd taken firearms, some gunshots.
