Our boat approaches Talisay Beach on Tapiutan Island. This is our stopover for lunch on Tour C of our island-hopping in the Bacuit archipelago in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. Like practically all islands in Bacuit Bay it is uninhabited. Lunch is cooked aboard the tour boats and served on the island.

This last part of the ascent is a real pleasure. The W ridge is very panoramic, not just trivial, but easy to overcome and you're all the time able to check how you are nearing the summit.
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
Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Another opportunity to go trackside and capture this wonderful locomotive (Freshwater) pulling the Victorian set of coaches during the bank holiday steam gala.
This is the sunset which never happened as such because a bank of clouds descended just beyond the Menai Straits . Still ... the reflections in the water were rather good. Captured from Victoria Quay , Caernarfon.
Mount Ruapehu, is the largest active volcano in New Zealand, it is the highest point on the North Island and has three major peaks.

Having passed Tunstead works 66783 is about to plunge through the short tunnel just before coming out on the old triangle at Blackwell Mill / Torpey Pike. The train will curve right down to Buxton where it will run around before heading up to Hindlow / Dowlow, whereas the old Midland Mainline from Derby / Maltlock to Manchester would come in from the right through the gate.

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.

I am again converting archive film camera images to digital....I will be posting these images for awhile. This image is from the Indian Beach area on the North Oregon coast.
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.
When we visited this creek a few weeks ago, the water was in such a swift fury that getting near it was a little intimidating. As I knelt on the slick mossy rocks in the stream to get this shot, the force of the water kept inching me toward the falls and impending doom. Not one to deliberately flirt with death, I was relieved to step out onto firm ground once again!
