On the way to Nango La we cross the lower of the two passes (4730m) after a night of light snowfall.
i love how when a storm approaches the sky gets all dark and menacing. Of course i'm safely indoors when the storm hits. I'm a coward like that :)
After crossing the timber approach to the Cumberland River RJ Corman's local on the Memphis is slowly moving across the swing portion of the bridge. They stopped at the west end of the swing portion of the bridge and dropped of a man. He inspected the alignment and walked to the east end. After he finished with the inspection the train creeped across the bridge and the crew member rejoined the train. 1.2.25

The Shibanxi Coal Railway is nowadays largely a tourist operation with little or no freight. On my 2017 visit we were lucky enough to find a short freight working which had been carrying bricks and sand for the construction of photographic viewpoints along the line. This is a crop from a photo posted some time ago.
Like most people I usually take the Express Monorail to get to the Magic Kingdom from the Ticket and Transportation Center. It's quick, easy and great if you are in a hurry. If you are not in a hurry, or just want a different experience I highly recommend taking a Ferry over to the park at least once while during your Disney World Vacation. If you do, be sure to go to the top deck and work your way to the front near the rail. The view is incredible and watching Cinderella Castle getting bigger and bigger as you approach the Magic Kingdom is worth the short walk over to the Ferry Launch. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
July is part of the monsoon season at the Grand Canyon. I'm not sure that phrase can be used in the same context as other monsoons around the globe, but it does mean there are frequent thunderstorms in the afternoons. Those storms make for some interesting skies and a respite from the heat. This particular shot is from an overlook along the South Rim.
Thanks for looking!

The adjacent loop seemed to have some work gone on recently - whether it was to reinstate it or not isn't clear.
A few hours spent on this section makes you realise how busy it is, certainly with freight traffic!

On the first day of my Markha Valley trek in Hemis National Park, I was met in my hotel (3,520 m, 11,549 ft.) in Leh, by my guide, Norbu and, cook, Dibi and driven southwestward 8 km, (5 mi.) to the Spituk Gompa (Spituk Monastery, 3,320 m, 10,892 ft.) above the true right bank of the Indus River, where our horseman, Rigzin, and four packhorses to carry our gear were waiting to join us.
After visiting the gompa, we started the trek on foot, crossing a bridge over the Indus and then walking westward along a road above the true left bank of the river to a point (3,240 m, 10,630 ft.) above the confluence of the Jingchan Chu (Jingchan River) and the Indus, where we entered Hemis National Park, 12.5 km (7.8 mi.) from the Spituk Gompa. We then trekked up the true right bank of the Jingchan Chu 1.3 km (0.8 mi.), initially west-southwestward and then southward to a bridge (3,260 m, 10,696 ft.) where we stopped for lunch. After lunch we crossed to the true left bank of the river and continued for 2.6 km (1.6 mi.), initially southwestward and then south-southeastward, to Jingchan (3,390 m, 11,122 ft.) where we camped for the night. Norbu is seen here five minutes before reaching Jingchan. An unnamed peak (c. 4,590 m, 15,059 ft.) is seen on the horizon left of center.
My son and I had a really fun time at Mother/Son Crazy Bowling today. He was actually just trying to fit his fingers into the holes, but I liked the way this turned out:)
