"Decaying, the ruins fall swift to the ground
The carnage is morbid and great
Mephitic deathstench of corpses abound
The earth meets an untimely fate"
Montserrat, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
The mountain of Montserrat is a massif that towers over the right bank of the Llobregat River. This massif is one of the highest and rockiest sections in the Prelitoral Catalana mountain chain. The Monastery of Montserrat perches 725 metres above sea level, whilst, at an altitude of 1,236 metres, Sant Jeroni is the highest point in the massif.
Soaring up abruptly from the Llobregat River, these mountains appear higher than they really are. Nor are there any other mountains nearby that can compete with Montserrat in terms of altitude, so that the massif stands out even more in its solitary splendour.
The mountain is around 10 kilometres long and 5 wide, with a perimeter of some 25 kilometres. All in all, Montserrat covers an area of 45 square kilometres.
The silhouette of the massif calls to mind the toothed blade of a saw, and this explains its name, for Montserrat means “serrated or saw-toothed mountain”.

La montaña de Montserrat, situada a la derecha del río Llobregat, es uno de los conjuntos más altos y abruptos de la Sierra Prelitoral Catalana. El monasterio está situado a 725 m de altura sobre el nivel del mar, y San Jerónimo, a 1.236 m, es la cima más alta.
El conjunto de la montaña parece más alto porque se levanta bruscamente desde el río Llobregat hasta la cima. Tampoco hay ninguna montaña próxima que pueda competir en altura, de manera que queda aislada en este sector.
Mide unos diez kilómetros de longitud y unos cinco de ancho, con un perímetro de unos 25 kilómetros. La montaña, en su conjunto, tiene 45 kilómetros cuadrados de superficie.
Su silueta recuerda la hoja dentada de una sierra. Esto explica su nombre: Montserrat quiere decir ‘montaña serrada’.

An eastbound grain train descends the hill between Arlington and Kennard, NE. This shot would be a lot nicer without the power lines in the way. I remember when they weren't there.
CN's EJE heritage unit leads empty limestone jennies out of Proctor and down the hill into Duluth for a refill. Thank you to the person that cut a hole in the fence here, whoever you are.
This real DNA staircase at the Hanze University in Groningen can be used on two sides. As it only connects two floors originally, I had a lot of edit fun expanding this.
As our cities, becoming controlled by mobs and thugs. Brazenly, storming stores anytime of day. Breaking, stealing, without fear. Our communities, being controlled by mobs, stalkers, racist; driving out those, they deem not worthy. Law Enforcement, standing idle; blaming the judicial system, making excuses.
Our schools, public venues; being stormed by those waiving weapons, designed for war. The truth being stricken from them. Becoming a stigma, a mental illness, for those that dare speak it.
Our Legislator, turning their backs on their districts, as they implode. Pretending they care, keeping us occupied with lies and division. Treating us like ignorant adolescents. Filling their pockets and banks, by the corporations, they represent. Our Administration, savvy from years of the same. Government Agencies, taking liberties; with no accountability. Our Nation; descends further into chaos and anarchy.

I love spiral staircases like this, and I wish they were more common in the US. This particular staircase is at a museum in Venice.
Please do let me know what you think of this photo! I appreciate any and all critiques in the comments!
Our today's goal is only one hour of walk away. But first we must descend good 100 m into the basin south of Monte Robon.
I think as Summer ends my Beaches will be hit hard - Its been a long time since i have visited regular !!! Joined by Neil for sunrise it was a frantic run around for an hour with some dramatic clouds and dark conditions
As we got in the car as the rain was going to hit the beach the rainbow popped out :-(
As i left the house @ 4.00 am it was pouring down !!!!

Its Sunset Sunday!
I have no idea if I actually will post a sunset every sunday, but for now, it gives me an excuse to indulge in my favorite kitsch.
This was taken at the Mt Madonna Inn parking lot at the top of Hecker Pass on Highway 152. Its part of my daily commute, and now that the days are lengthening, this is what I sometimes see on the way home.
Portland, Oregon with Mt Saint Helens and the peak of Mt Rainier Washington in the distant upper right. Sunset was at 5:07PM, photos are from 5:19, 5:26 and 5:38PM. OM2990,2997,3009
