A star, lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
Beartooth Highway
Elevation ~11,000 ft (3350 m)
Note the patches of ice, especially on the left side of the tarn.
Have a great weekend ahead! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. Take care and stay safe!

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul
I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I, in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
Love
Lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high

… the direct lighting and 45° hard shadows remind me of my architecture studying days :-)

This is about 140 meters higher in elevation than the location in the previous photo. Here, the autumn foliage would soon come to an end.

ここは前の写真の場所から140mほど標高の高い、竜ヶ原湿原です。ここでは紅葉は間も無く終わりを迎える様子でした。

PS: Just back after a week without any internet as my foot ended up with me in A&E....Catching up slowly my friends..
Au-dessus des étangs, au-dessus des vallées,
Des montagnes, des bois, des nuages, des mers,
Par delà le soleil, par delà les éthers,
Par delà les confins des sphères étoilées,
Mon esprit, tu te meus avec agilité,
Et, comme un bon nageur qui se pâme dans l'onde,
Tu sillonnes gaiement l'immensité profonde
Avec une indicible et mâle volupté.
Envole-toi bien loin de ces miasmes morbides ;
Va te purifier dans l'air supérieur,
Et bois, comme une pure et divine liqueur
, Le feu clair qui remplit les espaces limpides.
Derrière les ennuis et les vastes chagrins
Qui chargent de leur poids l'existence brumeuse,
Heureux celui qui peut d'une aile vigoureuse
S'élancer vers les champs lumineux et sereins ;
Celui dont les pensers, comme des alouettes,
Vers les cieux le matin prennent un libre essor,
- Qui plane sur la vie, et comprend sans effort
Le langage des fleurs et des choses muettes !
Élévation
Poème de Charles Baudelaire
Pinkshell Azalea makes a great perch to pair a warbler with. The beautiful blooms are relatively small for an azalea which helps lessen the chance of obstructed views once the bird is on the perch. They are in bloom early in May at elevation when the warblers are returning to their breeding grounds. There are only a handful of counties where they occur naturally but this azalea is also available commercially and thus occurs sporadically outside of its historic range.
My last two shots were from ~8,000 feet (2,438 meters), and this shot was at 6,000 feet (1,828 meters). It's amazing how a small change in altitude impacts how wet an area is. This area received rain and was quickly absorbed by the ground and higher up is snow.
This photo is from the Utah State Route 12 region.

IAIS 714 has just tied on to FRA geometry test cars DOTX 218 and DOTX 220 at the bottom of Missouri Division Jct while IAIS 515 West charges up Davenport Hill with BICB-05. 714 will shove up to the mainline and follow BICB west to South Amana.

La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Laon est l'un des premiers édifices majeurs de style gothique en France. Construite après l'église abbatiale de Saint-Denis, la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Noyon et la cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Sens, elle est contemporaine de Notre-Dame de Paris : elle est représentative du premier art gothique pour l'élévation intérieure et du gothique dit « classique » pour les parties supérieures des façades et pour les tours.
La cathédrale actuelle est construite à l'emplacement du sanctuaire précédent. Son édification est commencée sous l'épiscopat de Gautier de Mortagne. Elle débute en 1155 et continua jusqu'en 1235.

With no particular motivation other than the hope of a nice sunrise I headed for Blast Beach on Sunday morning. I did manage a shot I was pleased with before it started raining and I performed a temporary pack down. As I waited out the rain it dawned on me that the combination of the very lively sea and the strong northerly winds would probably be seeing some big wave crashes at the harbour. With 20 minutes still to go to sun up I rushed up the beach banks and made the short drive to the harbour to find I was right. A chilly wait eventually saw the break in the clouds coincide with a suitable wave crash and I had my shot..
Above the lakes, above the vales,
The mountains and the woods, the clouds, the seas,
Beyond the sun, beyond the ether,
Beyond the confines of the starry spheres,
My soul, you move with ease,
And like a strong swimmer in rapture in the wave
You wing your way blithely through boundless space
With virile joy unspeakable.
Fly far, far away from this baneful miasma
And purify yourself in the celestial air,
Drink the ethereal fire of those limpid regions
As you would the purest of heavenly nectars.
Beyond the vast sorrows and all the vexations
That weigh upon our lives and obscure our vision,
Happy is he who can with his vigorous wing
Soar up towards those fields luminous and serene,
He whose thoughts, like skylarks,
Toward the morning sky take flight
Who hovers over life and understands with ease
The language of flowers and silent things!
Charles Baudelaire - Élévation
A masterpiece of poetic imagination and aesthetic exploration. Through his use of vivid imagery, compelling language and daring metaphors, Baudelaire takes his reader on a journey through the heights of human aspiration and the depths of existential despair. Imaging himself as a bird,
soaring high in the air, free from the constraints of gravity and the limitations of the earthly realm. He speaks of his desire to "breathe in the scent of the infinite azure sky," and to "bathe in the sea of the ineffable light."

This is taken at about 9,700 ft elevation, trees won't start leafing out for another month. Lots of snow up there even though not a lot this winter, a fair amount lately. This is the headwaters of Castle Creek which flows into Aspen and the Roaring Fork River.
"Derrière les ennuis et les vastes chagrins
Qui chargent de leur poids l'existence brumeuse,
Heureux celui qui peut d'une aile vigoureuse
S'élancer vers les champs lumineux et sereins."
