"When he woke up, the room looked so funny. The sun was shining into part of it, and yet all the rest was quite dark and shady. So Jack jumped up and dressed himself and went to the window. And what do you think he saw? Why, the beans his mother had thrown out of the window into the garden had sprung up into a big beanstalk which went up and up and up till it reached the sky. So the man spoke truth after all.
The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack's window, so all he had to do was to open it and give a jump onto the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder. So Jack climbed, and he climbed, and he climbed, and he climbed, and he climbed, and he climbed, and he climbed till at last he reached the sky."
~Jack and the Beanstalk
Okay, so it's a tomato plant, not a beanstalk, but the perspective makes me want to climb it! By request in my blog: Wylikat requested a vertical perspective.
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!
The purring sound of EMD 567s has filled the valley as the eastbound New Tygart Flyer approaches the Poe Run Road grade crossing on its ascent towards the first summit at Tunnel No.1, just outside the city limits of Elkins, WV, on October 28, 2023.
The southbound 508 was in the hands of a 2004 Dennis Dart. I was expecting a Lakes liveried variant so was surprised to see this appear in the far distance.
Fortunately I had plenty of time to get used to it, it took nigh on 7 minutes to reach my position from the distant Brothers Water tarn.

The unforgiving Siberian wind was blowing relentlessly across the Manchurian plain, whipping away the twin exhausts of two Huanan Forestry Railway 762mm gauge 'C2' Class 0-8-0s, with No.004 leading, as they have just climbed up the grade away from Xiahua with a modest trailing load of coal from Hongguang mine to Huanan on 31st December 2009, a distance of some 32 kilometres. How this line made a commercial return remains a mystery to me! Unsurprisingly, it did not last, and the last freight ran in April 2011, appreciable timber traffic having ceased in the late-1990s.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” John Muir
Cloudy fall day on the Western Slope, Colorado. Most of the leaves have fallen, but there is still a little light on the mountainside.
Thanks for all your kinds comments!
Social distancing and staying at home are the best options we have to slow the spread of COVID-19. No doubt about that. But those tactics take a toll too after a while. So this is probably not a good time to watch Stephen King's "The Shining."
Best viewed LARGE. Be well and be safe, friends. Slainte !

Andy, my friend and climbing partner, standing by the large summit cairn at the top of Cairn Gorm in the Scottish Highlands. In the distance far below is the blue water of Loch Morlich, and beyond that the highlands town of Aviemore.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
Q647 heads south climbing the grade out of Emerson with a recently reactivated C40-9W, originally a C44-8W that was essentially a demo unit for the Dash 9 series locomotive, on the point. 6-21-21

As ruas muito íngremes da Mouraria concedem-lhe um charme especial... até que nos encontramos a subi-las num dia quente e à torreira do sol :)
