Walking across the bridge for an evening visit to Ukimido temple, Lake Biwa, Katata, Japan (see prior Flickr post of Ukimido temple). Medium format film scan.
Crossing Brooklyn Bridge by foot over the East River from Brooklyn to Manhattan (visible in the background).
I captured the candid image that became "Crossing the Line," while wandering the Loop in downtown Chicago, Illinois, on a bright and sunny September 14, 2018.
Oh Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
With the people all working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
But there's gangs of them digging for gold in the street
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this digging for gold
But for all that I found there I might as well be
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

All what is left of the former Kettle Valley Railway track at Chute Lake are the crossing signs. The track itself has been converted to a long-distance bike trail.
Swing Bridge across the Clinton River, Milford Track, Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. Day one on the Milford Track starts with crossing to the left bank of the Clinton River and following the river 16km (10 miles) upstream to Pompolona Lodge.

This wonderful old farm track crosses Glendarragh in the Wicklow Hills. No one seems to go there and its a hidden gem. I do it as part of a 10km looped trail and it rises steadily to 240m till it levels out on this 3km stretch at the top. Home is all downhill from here which is best!
I went up here on Wednesday but it wasnt a fine day. I spotted this lovely scene so I went back on Thurs to take it. Mind you, I dont need an excuse as its good for the madness.
The tree is an old Ash which has been sculpted perfectly by the weather and the mountain is Djoice. There is a track just visible on its right hand side. And the Sheep? Its got a piece of wool stuck on its face.
Ive started to take down a lot of my older photos as Ive too many on here and most people, including many friends dont bother going back a few pages to look at them which is a pity as I do go back through other peoples photos. Some friends here asked me where I had been and welcomed me back! I havent been anywhere. Ive been here on Flickr faving and commenting on others stuff which is what we are supposed to do.It only takes a minute really! I just havent put up many photos recently as its just lovely to look at other people photos and be inspired by them and it gives me more time.
Do stay safe my friends and look after and be kind to one another.
Im staying right here to "Wander among the Wicklow Hills" with Christy Moore;

Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. Carlos Castaneda
This is somewhere between Gillette and Rawlins Wyoming, windy as I traversed from I-90 to I-80, I believe this was south of Casper on WY 220. I've never driven this route before, so a bit of a new adventure that I'll avoid in winter. The load I was hauling was pretty heavy, GVW (gross vehicle weight) just under 80, 000 lbs so the wind wasn't too much of a problem. The strange thing is the disorientating effect the snow had as it moved across the road, it visually felt like I wasn't moving, an optical illusion, I had to look into the distance to avoid the uncomfortable feeling it created. I've run across this at night and it's even worse.

I like crossing the imaginary boundaries people set up between different fields: it's very refreshing.

Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) female
Mama Frogmouth resting in the shade on this day in 2019. I noted on the file that the temperature on that day was 44°C (111°F) Dad was sitting on the nest. By comparison today is a glorious 25°C (77°F)
For those not familiar with the Frogmouth, they are not an Owl, being most closely related to the Nightjar Family.
Sadly they didn't return to this nest site last year or this year.
