Conrail GP38-2 8054 leads U33B 2903 and a U25B on a Westbound freight at the West end of Goodman Street Yard in Rochester, NY in September, 1977. This was what we considered a "blah" type of consist back in those days, but we would love to see such variety in motive power today!

Singing Sand Mountains & Crescent Moon Lake, Dunhuang, China.
Singing Sand Mountains
Located on the Silk Road, the Echoing-Sand Mountain is known as one of the Eight Great Landscapes of Dunhuang and one of the Four Great Singing Sands of China. Completely piled by sands, the mountain stretches for 40 km in length and 20 km in width respectively, with the highest point reaching 250 meters. When there is wild wind, the sands will be blown up and make loud sound, while the sound sounds like being produced by some ancient musical instrument when blew by breeze, hence the name.
Crescent Moon Lake
Just like its name indicates, the Crescent Lake is in a natural shape of half-moon and had been commonly considered as one of the Eight Great Landscapes of Dunhuang together with the Echoing-Sand Mountain early in Western Han Dynasty (206BC-24AD).
