The sun starting to rise over the mountains and clear the shadows for a new day at Zion National Park. I just loved the bright blue sky.

This group of Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis) was on final approach to a large group of feasting cranes. Our last day around Kearney NE had sunny skies although the north wind persisted with strong gusts. The Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary estimated between 200,000 and 300,000 cranes along the Platte River that day. The first sunny day proved joyful for everyone.
On a picture-perfect winter day, CN 368 rolls northbound on the Lac St-Jean subdivision, bringing empties to the numerous CN customers located in the Saguenay/Lac St-Jean part of Québec province.
The Chambord-based crew was only 37 miles into their 160-mile long trip toward their home terminal.

I spent 5 days in Central Oregon. I visited this beautiful lake twice. The first time I tried to photograph Milky Way, but the Moon rose very early, and it was very windy. I came there two days later. The weather conditions were so much different. The Milky Way was so clear. I really enjoyed watching the starry sky.
That was one shot f/2.8 , ISO 6400 at 25 sec.
Shot taken down Three Cliffs Bay just before sunset. Really like the sun rays and the light hitting the river

Sunny peaks with mild and dry air, shady valley with frosty, humid and cold air: it is a classic of some alpine valleys, plains and basins in conditions of high pressure and calm wind during the late autumn and winter period.
The valley hoar frost (produced by freezing fog that then dissolved) makes this air column reversal gradient evident.
The cold air, heavier, stagnates towards the bottom while the warm, lighter, air slides above it, so every long night with clear skies the air in the valley becomes colder and more humid.
It is an orographic/microclimatic self-produced cold, due to the loss of heat from soil towards space which occurs mainly during the late autumn (and winter) long clear nights but which also persists during the day, due to the weak and low sun on the horizon, with greater evidence in the shaded areas.
It's fun to walk the rocky shores of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. It's such a scenic place and never gets old. The clear water is so inviting until you step in and find it's about 40 degrees in August. Lake Superior is not really a swimming lake except for a few die hards.
Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes of North America. The lake is shared by Canada's Ontario and the United States' Minnesota to the north and west, and Wisconsin and Michigan to the south. It is generally considered the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, although some consider Lakes Huron and Michigan to be one lake, larger than Lake Superior. It is the world's third-largest freshwater lake by volume and the largest by volume in North America.
As we descend from Sgor Mor, the clouds lift from the mountain tops, clearly revealing The Devils Peak, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach. The deep valley of Glen Dee leading to the Lairig Ghru marches into the distance. To give a sense of scale, a walkers bothy can just be made out at the foot of Devil's Peak deep in the Glen.
At a height of 2667 feet (813 meters), Sgor Mor doesn't quite qualify as a Munro as it's 333 feet (111 meters) short, but it is a Corbett and offers some great views of the Cairngorms.

I can't resist this shiny little yellow flower and the oh so clear skies..
HMB everyone...
With the entire train in view, train 130N is passing the former Clear Air Force Base in Clear Alaska. This used to be a very important radar base that was regularly served by the Alaska railroad, mainly for coal to their power plant. Today this is a Space Force Base that sees no train service of any kind. You have to appreciate the semi uniform train of nothing but 1 cylindrical hopper, Tanks and Pigs heading north with only the DPU splitting the two sections.
On a clear blue day in Skye with the Old man of Stoer in the background. A wonderful calm day with a nice walk back to Portree. I'd been up at the North East of the island before this and those clouds had dampened any idea of shots of the Quiraing but one day I'll get up there!
On my way home from Half Moon Bay I made a quick stop at Shell Beach in Foster City to see if I could find the Red Knots reported. I eventually found them among my many pictures when I got home, but most of my efforts concentrated on this one Ruddy Turnstone that made every effort to stay clear of me. I managed to finally get 'one clear shot' of him with a Long-billed Dowitcher!
With the rear of their train clear of Parkers in Gardner, 287 with CBFX 6030 leading accelerates through Otter River, passing Seamans Paper on the right. The tired looking SD60Ms is one Burlington Northern's first order of the units, built with the three cab windows versus the later teardrop style as shown on the trailing CN SD75I.
Lake George is well-known and loved for its crystal-clear water. It's a deep lake [a graben, or dropped area of rock] between two rock walls of hills. So it's very cold as well. Fishing is good, as far as I can tell from the number of fishing boats out in the early mornings.
This shot was taken with the GoPro. The polarizing lens really brings out the colors of the rocks beneath the surface.
I swear, you don't realize just how small a goose's head is until
they're in flight.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone.

Loud and Clear - Anna's Hummingbird ensuring his war cries are heard loud and clear.
Who knew a teleconverter could work so well on a zoom lens? I'm very happy as a teleconverter on a zoom offers so much flexibility and I noticed no degradation in quality or AF speed.

Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400 ii + EF 1.4x III, Handheld
