Near Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Cougar Valley offers some enticing hiking possibilities. The park has an extraordinary trail system that is ideal for day hikers, often leading to spectacular viewpoints. Hazards include bears and avalanches. These are not the Rockies, but rather the Selkirk Mountains - part of a chain that includes the Purcells, the Monashees, and the Cariboo, together forming the Columbia Mountains. Got that? The main thing to remember is they are west of the Rockies, much, much older than the Rockies, and far less crowded with visitors.

This is a shot of one of my Azalea bushes in my front yard... I have been playing with it for several days now, doing Kaleidoscopes different frames and a bunch of other funny things... Decided it was about time to move on to another toy so hope you enjoy this one !!!!
People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.

The Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Lánchíd) on a cold foggy winter night from the shore of the Danube looking towards Pest. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849.
I did quite a bit of walking along the cold Danube that cold and foggy night to get this shot, but it seems to have been well worth it. I have another shot of this same scene that has a longer exposure which blurs the water more. At some point I'll upload it, but I liked the water better on this shorter exposure.

Markarian's chain had a late night to capture this didn't start imaging until 02:30 am. Taken on 12/01/2014 15 x600 secs. Counted 41 objects in total hard to believe a 80mm telescope can pick up so many galaxies. Annotated image can found here www.flickr.com/photos/nightcasper/11908347965/
Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. It is called a chain because, when viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. It was named after the Armenian astrophysicist, B. E. Markarian, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960s. Member galaxies include M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435. It's located at RA 12h 27m and Dec +13° 10′.
At least seven galaxies in the chain appear to move coherently, although others appear to be superposed by chance.

An early morning site departure for this tracked piling-rig with the help of a Transportbedrijf Schoones BV 5-axled Volvo FH13 and its 5-axled Nooteboom trailer.
Seen quite by chance in a leafy Eindhoven back street just around the corner from where I was staying- a great start to any day in my book!
