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!
48151 climbing Wilpshire bank at Langho, with the returning Fellsman from Carlisle to Lancaster on Tues 25th July 2017.
SP 319 leafs empties around the double horseshoe at Crater on the Ex-Rio Grande Craig Branch. This was at one time the Denver & Salt Lakes main line. And what a piece of work it is. Incredible effort was required to build this line and it is full of all the drama a rail photographer dreams of, steep grades, tunnels, bridges and lots of beautiful scenery. Too bad it is just a shadow of its former self.

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.
IRs 105 job descends a steep hill out of Zearing, with a former BN SD40 to power the three cars from the BNSF.
Some of my old rock climbing gear, some was still shiny new at this point but it never saw much action.
From this view easy to see why this section of the path is so tough and so satisfying to walk at the same time. The path regularly plunges down to sea only to climb straight back up to the next headland.
Week 15 in 52 Weeks for Dogs and Tasku is exhibiting her mountain goat side again, clambering over these felled tree trunks. I don't like the messy background but I didn't get anything else this week.

Turboprop regional airliner
History
Bombardier's de Havilland Dash 8 has proven to be a popular player in the regional turboprop airliner market. De Havilland Canada began development of the Dash 8 in the late 1970s in response to what it saw as a considerable market demand for a new generation 30 to 40 seat commuter airliner. The first flight of the first of two preproduction aircraft was on June 20 1983, while Canadian certification was awarded on September 28 1984. The first customer delivery was to norOntair of Canada on October 23 1984. Like the Dash 7, the Dash 8 features a high mounted wing and Ttail, and has an advanced flight control system and large full length trailing edge flaps. Power meanwhile is supplied by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120 series (originally designated PT7A) turboprops. Initial Dash 8 production was of the Series 100, which was followed by the Series 100A in 1990. The 100A introduced a revised interior with extra headroom and PW120A turboprops. The Series 100B was offered from 1992 with more powerful PW121s for better climb and airfield performance. Production since switched to the improved performance Dash 8-200. Announced in 1992 and delivered from April 1995 the -200 features more powerful PW123C engines which give a 56km/h (30kt) increase in cruising speed, as well as greater commonality with the stretched Dash 8300. The 200B derivative has PW123Bs for better hot and high performance. From the second quarter of 1996 all Dash 8s delivered have been fitted with a computer controlled noise and vibration suppression system (or NVS). To reflect this the designation was changed to Dash 8Q (Q for `quiet'). In 1998 that was changed again to Dash 8 Q200 when a new interior was introduced.

Sometimes the potentially bad weather gives you the nicest surprises, like this when the setting sun broke through the rain clouds.

Lions are believed to climb trees as a behavioral adaptation to protecting themselves from the constant irritation of insect bites while lazing on the ground under trees. Some animal behaviorists claim that these lions have perfected the art of climbing trees as a way of escaping the sweltering heat on ground level. This way, they can enjoy a cool breeze and blissful nap without worrying about the happenings on the ground. Moreover, this position is an excellent vantage point from which to observe the movement of prey as they cross the plains in search of grazing opportunities and water.
While lions are not physically adapted to climbing trees, these distinct groups have been able to master this skill over time and teach their young to do the same; a great example of learned behaviour as opposed to natural instinct. Lions can weigh between 250 to 400 pounds so it’s no easy feat to lug their bodies up such great heights.

The westbound Zephyr is making the climb up and around Big Ten Curve with a pair of very colorful units on the point. In just a minute, the train will be knocking down a clear (green) signal at the east end of Eisele (Clay) in the distance.
This was the third of three eastbound trains CSXT served up into the glorious morning Sun on this nice crisp New England morning and for this train I tried a new spot that I've never bothered with before that worked out nicely. M426 (daily Selkirk to Rigby Yard manifest) has a nice old school AC4400CW dressed in YN2 paint as it digs into the 1% climb up Charlton Hill east of CP60. They are about to pass under Cranberry Meadow Road about MP QB59.3 on modern day CSXT's Boston Sub, the former Boston and Albany Railroad mainline, and the top of the grade is about a mile and a half ahead.
