While wandering around the hillside in search of the elusive Ptarmigan we encountered some stunning views into Coire nan Arr with the steep sides of Beinn Bhàn and Sgùrr a' Chaorachain prominent - time to switch to landscape mode.

The seemingly endless sunset of the summer solstice allows for some stellar evening shots if the clouds aren't around...
One of the famous Alaska Railroad trains makes their way back to Anchorage.
Another frame of this scene from long ago seemingly in a past life of the only time I shot a train working here despite living only a couple hundred yards away for 10 years! An Alaska Railroad yard job is switching out the two stub ended warehouse tracks accessed via a diamond over the Roundhouse Lead that is right beneath me under the bridge I'm standing on.
This view looks down from the sidwalk of the C Street Bridge as an ARR yard job with GP38u 2005 (blt. Aug. 1969 as a straight GP38 for the Penn Central as their number 7752 and purchased from Conrai and rebuilt in 1986) in the 1980s Alaska bold scheme switches out cars at the warehouse. The building on the left houses the ARR's stores department and they still regularly ship and receive company material by rail. Track components (spikes, anchors, etc.) come up by barge in foreign line boxcars while various other company material is shuttled around the system on flats, gons, or in boxcars. Beyond the train can be seen the bustling port of Anchorage and then the blue waters of cook inlet. On the horizon is the 4396 ft peak of Mt. Susitna, known locally as the "Sleeping Lady" for the mountain's resemblance to a woman in repose on her back. To the right is the abandoned warehouse, which is one of the oldest structures in the Anchorage yard complex and whose fate is uncertain, though I do believe a dozen years later it still stands.

ARR (Average Regular Robot) is just trying to lead a normal life in a normal world... he's just a normal dude who doesn't want any trouble.

A T-45 Goshawk returns to NAF El Centro after a training sortie over the nearby ranges on a recent weapons det.
Screeching around a corner as the make their way towards Anchorage, the 4007 almost found some sun near Birchwood.
A cruise train bound for Seward is negotiating the curves between Alyeska and Portage during a rare appearance of the sun. We didn't have a lot of sun on the trip, as the plague of clouds follows me wherever I go.
Alaska... I can't wait to return!

A barn owl can eat up to 1,000 mice each year, and many farmers try to attract barn owls to help control rodent populations in agricultural fields.
Not all owl species are nocturnal. How often an owl is seen during the day depends on the seasonal amount of daylight and darkness, food supplies and habitat.
Owls have specialized feathers with fringes of varying softness that help muffle sound when they fly. Their broad wings and light bodies also make them nearly silent fliers, which helps them stalk prey more easily.
Please view large to see the feathers on the eye lid.
