Eldgjá is the largest volcanic canyon in the world, approx. 40 km long, 270 m deep and 600 m wide at its greatest. (Wikipedia)

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.
This livery is really growing on me, making the small 737 look vibrant and almost like a race car.

New snow and high winds. There should be a groomed snow trail at the lookout. Almost there.

This is a view of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite National Park. We were going on a wildflower walk along the reservoir. We walked over the Shaughnessy Dam and through a tunnel. Then we notice that a major thunderstorm was approaching. We return to the car.

We are at roughly 3400m, about a kilometre or so from Lamayuru (turn left before the pale cream rocks), entering the zone of irrigation. Roads begin to appear in the scene; prominent is the main road from Srinagar to Leh, high on the slopes. Our trek from Pahalgam in Kashmir, across the Great Himalaya range to Rangdom and then by Kanji and the Shilla gorge on to Lamayuru, nears its end.
The Flickr mapping gives Kashmir as the location, which may be politically true but scenically and culturally we are firmly in Ladakh.
Edaville's excursion train, with Monson #3 on point, approaches the junction named for the railroad's founder, Ellis D. Atwood. The track branch that goes camera left takes the train on the original loop around Atwood Reservoir, of which only a portion remains. The track heading camera right keeps the train on the current, 2-mile loop.
This image was captured at what is now called "Edaville Family Theme Park" in South Carver, MA, during the park's annual Christmas Festival of Lights.
Mexico City is currently growing as a major financial centre within Central America, the airline's flag-carrier, Aeromexico is slowly growing as an international carrier thanks to its growing fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners operating alongside a small fleet of Boeing 777's which are likely to be replaced by Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
Aeromexico currently operates a daily flight into London Heathrow using Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, competing with British Airways who operate Boeing 747-400's between the 2 cities. The airline's fleet of Boeing 787's stands at 8, all of which on the Boeing 787-8 with one more example left on-order, as well as an order for 6 Boeing 787-9's plus 4 options.
November Nine Six One Alpha Mike was the first Dreamliner delivered new to Aeromexico in August 2013 on lease from AerCap, and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B engines.

The dwarf signal gives a medium approach indication for the awaiting CSX Santa Train behind me after Santa departed from the train and took his place in the Kingsport, TN, Chirstmas parade on the evening of November 19, 2016.

The New Zealand Bendigo is a ghost town high on a hill once mined for gold. Some ruins of the old stone miner's huts remain and some dangerous mine shafts. We arrived just as a rain storm was heading down the valley from Lake Wanaka. Found gold only in the colour of the tussock grasses and moved on.
Glaslyn or 'Blue Lake' in English is a glacial lake in the shadow of Snowdon's summit - the central peak behind the lake. My daughter, Rhiannon, on the right, is crouching down to take a picture with her iPhone.
The daily CN M338 manifest train takes one of the final curves before the Mississippi River as it follows Catfish Creek on its descent down to the Mississippi River. About one mile past this spot, the train will enter the Dubuque yard.
The 1:00 PM departure from Saranac Lake is on its way to Lake Placid as it approaches Route 86, with fall colors in full bloom in the heart of the Adirondacks. Ex-PRR GP9 AIDX 6076 is giving it all its got as it works hard. Unfortunately it looks like this will be the last autumn in which this, or any train operates on this section of track. The reason for that is that the state of New York has approved a plan to tear out the rails between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid and convert it to a hiking/snowmobile trail. While there are legal challenges to this plan, at the moment it still seems likely that the state's plan will go through and the tracks torn up starting next spring, if not earlier.
The 6 pack of helpers is just a mile from the switch that leads to the Savage coal load out at Price, where the crew will duck into the east leg of the wye and let the loaded train pull by so they can cut in 2/3's of the way back.
Glacier Gorge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. At this point, I am now hiking in snow. Behind me is a stream flowing from under the snow. The area of snow above the stream is hazardous to walk on because the snow may collapse dropping the person above into the stream beneath! The mountain above is McHenry Peak. The vertical lines on the lower part of the peak are falls descending to Black Lake. Best viewed large.
Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments!
MNR 502 is cresting the grade between Phair Jct. and Centerline Road with cars from Huber and McCain's. Two blue GMTX geeps are the power for the train returning to Presque Isle from Easton. Quite a different scene from the day before that saw snow covered track, and near whiteout conditions throughout the day. The crew will eventually add more cars to the train in Presque Isle before ultimately returning to Squa Pan.
Forest trees stand in sunlight while distant ridges are darkened by the clouds of an approaching Sierra storm.
At first look this might just seem like a photograph of a row of trees. It is late in the day, and the warm light lends color to this section of forest at Tuolumne Meadows, and it looks like a pleasant early evening. But that bluish strip at the top of the frame tells a different story. If you look closely you can make out a peak, and the peak is backed by higher peaks that are partially obscured by the dark clouds of an incoming rain storm.
We hear all the time that photography is about light, and there’s truth to that claim. (I would hold that it isn’t “just” about light, but whatever else it may be about usually benefits from wonderful light.) One of my favorite situations is this sort — something nearby in lovely, warm light, but in the background a darker and more dramatic effect.
