This photo shows the rock climbing building on the University of Alberta campus.
What I see is a visual representation of growing up. We started out without reason climbing trees for fun. Now we find ourselves on our path at university, climbing walls.
I was helping out on an eagle project for one of my nephews when I came across this odd catapillar climbing on a water cooler. Very odd fellow this one. =D
Norfolk Southern's "Honoring First Responders" SD60E #911 leads Bloomginton-to-Decatur train D36 west at Cerro Gordo, IL, which literally translates as "Fat Hill."
Thank you Wikipedia...
"When the Mexican American War began General John S Williams took command. At the battle of Cerro Gordo (Mexico) he led the troops in a victory over Mexican troops. He took the nickname of "Cerro Gordo" Williams. After the battle, he returned to Illinois and settled in Bement. About the same time (1855) the people of the town of Griswold chose to move the town from the stagecoach line along the river to the path of the Great Western Railroad. The town was platted by Sheridan Wait and Henry Durfee. "Cerro Gordo" Williams was one of the citizens, as they had other citizens that fought in the battle of Cerro Gordo, they selected the name Cerro Gordo."
Hmmm, I always wondered.
Me at the summit of Carn an t-Sagairt Mor (yes I drag my camera equipment, including tripod, up there!).. Behind me can be seen the summit of Cairn Bannoch, which I'm aiming for to get my second (and last) Munro of the day. Beyond that is Broad Cairn, but i've done that on an earlier expedition, so no need for it today!
Carn an t-Sagairt Mor (pronounced Carn an Tackersht Vole - or something close) is at a height of 1037 meters (3402 feet) and Cairn Bannoch stands at 1012 meters (3320 feet), so an easy days climbing .. yeah, right!!

My friend and sculptor, Gary Hale, created these tigers back in 1997 and they have been climbed on by countless kids over the last 20 years. My two oldest grandkids are delighting in the climb pictured here.
NS train #340 climbs Cheaha Mountain in eastern Alabama not long after dawn behind the normal KCS power.
The Bangor Sub of Central Maine and Quebec Railway has several notable climbs. One such is at mile 63 where the train comes out of a curve and makes a challenging climb on its way south.
I was poking around the backyard trying to get a photo this afternoon, Sock wasn't being cooperative and Fyero was too busy nomming on some grass so I was left to search the garden.
I lucked out; this guy was exploring and didn't seem too bothered that my camera was up in his business.
Not bad for a quick shot in the garden.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

After learning how to distinguish climbing milkweed from bindweed, I left the milkweed plants to grow in various parts of garden rather than pulling them as weeds, and they are rewarding me with visual interest now.

It was hard work going up the mountain but nothing like some of the climbs we've had in Thailand. This one had cool air - makes a massive difference to the effort put in!
While looking for something else, this young lady (I think it's a female and a young one but dunno for sure) popped out in front of me.
Take Aim Signs of the Season Challenge
Cline River Canyon, Canadian Rockies
When wandering around Abraham lake last winter, our kind hotel owner recommended Cline River Canyon for day trip. It was only a short hike, turned out to be a really great place for killing time. At the end of the snowy trail, there were several really nice ice waterfall along the river. And we met some ice climbers. What a fun trip.
Thanks for stopping by!
The FMI heads out of Clifton and up towards Morceni, Literally. Mountains loom in the distance, the portrait giving a great idea of the vast emptyness of Eastern Arizona.
It's November 3rd, 1980 and this loaded grain train is climbing eastbound at Gaithersburg, MD. The train is seen just after having passed the signals at "Wards" (named for a local station agent and merchant), and is crossing Chestnut St. This is the second eastbound grade on the B&O's Metropolitan Sub, and extends from Great Seneca Creek up to Summit Ave in downtown Gaithersburg. No doubt there is a pair of helpers assisting, which will cut off on the fly at Summit Ave before getting permission to proceed lite westbound. After cresting the grade, WM 7548 will have the task of holding the train back, as it's all downhill to Rock Creek, a distance of about 10 miles. Photo by Joe Van Hoorebeke, JL Sessa collection.
