Clara and I drove 50 miles through a twisting gorge in the dark and through a very dense fog to reach this spot. The lake was flooding and this was taken just before sunrise. I know the water looks like snow, but it isn't. She liked this so much we will put a large print on our living room wall.
Another example of how Clara graces my life.

Composite image of 15 meteors viewed in about 300 minutes of exposures after the moon set. Moonlight was used to illuminate the landscape beforehand. Photographed from Round Bald, 5,800' elev. from Appalachian Trail on North Carolina/Tennessee border, between Roan High Knob and Grassy Ridge Bald.
Much of the Appalachian Trail that winds through Pennsylvania is moderately dangerous littered with rocks of all sizes. It may take over an hour to go one mile.
Its just after sunrise and all the signs of bitter cold are in the air, as CSX's Spirit of Law Enforcement engine #3194 brings M692 up the holler at Fords Branch, KY on the very beginning of its run from Shelby to Russell. Modern GE power is the only clue of the year in this time-capsule valley, as 1940s-era C&O signals, steaming tin roofs, and pieced-together pick-ups dot this unmistakable scene of Appalachia as hazy foothills loom large behind.
One location I've always wanted to get for years is the overpass west of Winchester, Ohio off Route 32. Getting anything running this far east is quite an ordeal, but getting a westbound in good light is next to impossible. Hopefully with the new gravel business on the east end, shots like this can be easier to get.
Tucked deep in the hills of eastern Kentucky, the C&O era cantilever at Dawkins lights a clear for C501, one of countless loads of coal the Big Sandy has been host to.
A Baltimore & Ohio GP40-2 and a Chesapeake & Ohio B30-7 bring a train of empties through Danville, West Virginia. The S4 on the left belongs to the Southern Appalachian Coal Company (Julian Mines). It’s interesting that it is an as-built Alco, and not a Caterpillar re-engined “bug slug” more typical of mine power in the area.
The Mountain Laurel were in full bloom and we were enticed to walk a short distance down the Appalachian Trail. This trail runs from the state of Georgia to the state of main and is 2,200 miles long. We probably covered.... oh I would say an eight of a mile of it! LOL It runs through the Shenandoah National Park.

Middle of nowhere, West Virginia, USA, a drone photo from a roadside viewpoint, I wish I was able to fly a bit higher.
