Driving through Atlanta on I85 and by Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport. The remnants of hurricane Isaias passes overhead, and for Delta Airlines it's business as usual. Luke was my copilot on our travels and did an amazing job capturing these through the car window!

3 Years ago today, CP 113 heads north on the MacTier Sub in some nice evening light, passing over Highway 50 as they near the mileboard for the Palgrave siding with a trio of GE motors up front. Although not entirely sure what the future held at the time, I remember making efforts to head out to shoot run-of-the-mill trains like this semi-frequently, and today those efforts are paying dividends as the average 113 is reduced to a pair/trio of CPKC slop most days of the week.

The eastbound Rio Grande Zephyr has successfully navigated both the Gilluly horseshoe and Davidson Canyon, and now approaches the site of Scenic siding, about six miles west of Soldier Summit.

Seen on a lesser shot area of the B&P Mainline, B&P SIRI-30 rumbles south past the Mt Jewett Approach Signal, deep in the woods of PA.

The shower that was threatening Bunmahon beach for awhile was now fast approaching, even though the sun was still shining brightly which only emphasised the darkness of the approaching rain.

The river valley is wide to the north of Matlock and the going flat. Thus far it hadn't been the most inspiring of walks but sometimes you need these stretches to enjoy the special ones

Robin flying in for lunch

on our hike from Vaour to Bruniquel we passed Penne. This looked so amazing that we decided not to pass Penne but walked a few miles more (as if we weren't walking enough) and visit this amazing city. Never have had the slightest regret of this.

Mind you, I have made this photo from another mountain on the same level as Penne, this means we had to go all the way down, and up again plus a roundwalk to be able to enter the city.

Back in January, there were major bushfires in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Here you can see blackened rocks in Standley Chasm.

My original description was "They meet up in Autumn, and agree to marry in Winter 😘"

 

Then Richard Nagy commented:

"Eh... they both are males, do you know that?"

 

Oh, I didn't know that until he said. But they still have a chance if same-sex marriage is legalized in their community. 😀

 

So, I changed the previous title "Love Approach"

 

That's very interesting. Thank him for telling that.

Many people think of Alcatraz as America's most notorious prison, which it was for 30 years of its 150+ years as an inhabited island. Its Civil War-era buildings, cannons, and subterranean rooms give insight into the 19th century when the Island served as both a harbor defense fort and a military prison. Reminders of the American Indian Occupation, which began in 1969 and ended in 1971, remains etched on “The Rock”, recognizing an important milestone in the American Indian rights movement. It is also an nesting site for snowy egrets, black crowned night herons, Brandt cormorants, pigeon guillemots, and Western gulls.

 

We went on a beautiful May morning for a tour of the magnificent gardens.

 

I am having computer problems and will be on and off for a few days. I hope to catch up with everyone over the weekend.

 

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Shot very shortly after my miniature island shots, I had to get off the sands due to the approaching tide. It brought with it a few black clouds and a change of mood.
