Moqui (Mo-Key) Peak (6,083 ft.) is one of many little eye popping sights along the Kolob Terrace.
It's named after the Hopi Indians who were also called the Moqui. They first met white men in the summer of 1540. That's when Coronado's explorers encountered them and learned of the existence of the Grand Canyon.
You’ll pass this peak a little over a mile after you drive through the west side park entrance. There's a little pull out just past the junction of Smith Mesa and Kolob Terrace Road where you can safely stop to admire this view. Of course, it’s not like there’s heavy traffic over here. I’ll bet only 1 out of 10 Zion visitors come through here.
It’s a shame. Because there are some serenely beautiful sights ahead.

YJ07JVM has had a nomadic existence recently. Still in its Flying Tiger base livery, it is seen here at Claremount terminus, high above Halifax, with the summit of Beacon Hill, which towers over the town, apparently close behind. Looks are deceiving, as the main A58 Halifax-Leeds road runs right-left deep in Godley Cutting, behind the low wall, and the hill top is a good quarter mile away.
YJ07JVM was new to K Line, and had a short spell in Tiger Blue colours following the Arriva buy out of the Centrebus share. It then had quite a decent makeover into Flying Tiger colours and moved to Idle depot when Tiger was still interested in making a success of its Leeds Bradford Airport routes. After Tiger gave up the airport work (and the depot at Idle) in summer 2020, YJ07JVM went on loan to Arriva North East, running there in full Flying Tiger colours, returning earlier this year to Waterloo. Transdev immediately removed the Tiger branding on taking over, and it is now quite definitely an 'odd one out' in what is, temporarily at least, an 'odd' fleet.
All good for enthusiasts, though!

The only story with this one is the intuition to release the shutter at this particular moment, from this particular perspective. There is a lot happening in the outer fringes of the photo, but I should like to think, and hope that the building has as much of a strong presence on whoever you are as it does on myself.
I took this by framing the shot, and then held it overhead to take it. The 28mm really adds a level of depth sometimes that the 35mm can not get across, and without the distortion of the 24mm.
On August 31, 2021, the legendary Rio Grande Southern Railroad was brought back to life (if only for a day). Built in 1891 by Otto Mears, the original RGS was located in Colorado’s southwest corner and ran between Durango and Ridgway via Lizard Head Pass, hauling coal, silver ore, and other goods from the mining communities of Telluride and Rico. The RGS was profitable for only a few years before a silver panic crippled its finances, but nevertheless it managed to stay in business, struggling through two world wars before running its last train in 1951. Following this, its 3-foot-gauge rails were taken up.
Rio Grande Southern No. 20, an 1899 Schenectady Ten-Wheeler, is one of four RGS steam locomotives still in existence. It was preserved by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club in 1952 when the RGS was abandoned and over the years was cosmetically restored for display, first in Alamosa and later at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. After fifty years sitting cold, No. 20 was transported to the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, Penn., for a top-to-bottom restoration beginning in 2006 that took 12 long years to compete. The restoration was spearheaded by a donation from the Moedinger family of Pennsylvania, who put up $400,000 for the effort. After additional fundraising, No. 20 finally steamed again around the loop track at the Colorado Railroad Museum in 2020.
While a 3/4th mile loop is nice for a short train ride, Jeff Taylor and others at CRRM desired take No. 20 to a railroad where it could really stretch its legs. That opportunity came in 2021. For No. 20’s first major outing since restoration the museum took the 4-6-0 to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad at Antonito, Colorado. Its visit coincided with the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, held in in celebration of the C&TS’s 50th anniversary, which featured four locomotives built before 1900.
The trip with No. 20 on August 31 was sponsored by TRAINS Magazine, with editor Jim Wrinn and video producer Kevin Gilliam coordinating the event for photographers. The event was dubbed “Sunset on the Rio Grande Southern.”
Tickets for the event went fast, despite it costing nearly $900. The primary goal of “Sunset on the Rio Grande Southern” was to recreate an RGS trip that the late William Moedinger photographed in 1941, with the brakeman riding the pilot beam to watch for landslides. The first half of the consist matched the train that Moedinger photographed that day, which was featured on the cover of TRAINS in February 1942. William Moedinger’s son Linn was the person that did much of the restoration work on No. 20 during its time in Pennsylvania.
Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-2 No. 463, owned by the C&TS, was re-lettered as long-scrapped Rio Grande Southern No. 455 for the trip, and doubleheaded with No. 20. Thanks to decades of hard work by the Friend of the C&TS, the Cumbres & Toltec was able to provide a long string of authentic narrow-gauge equipment with an authentic RGS short caboose bringing up the markers. The scenery on the C&TS between Antonito and Osier is similar to the territory the RGS ran in.
The charter was an incredible experience and recreated scenes that hadn’t been seen since the 1940s. Was it worth the money? I’ll let you be the judge of that, but for me it certainly was. A big thanks is due Jim Wrinn and Kevin Gilliam, plus the men and women of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic for making it all possible.

Most people are aware of the existence of London City Airport (LCY) out at Royal Docks, a short ride away from Heron Quays Station in the photo. But on 27th June 1982, Captain Harry Gee flew a Brymon Dash 7 onto a makeshift 1000 metre runway on Heron Quay, West India Docks. It was a proving flight in front of a crowd of 'big wigs' to show that an airport in Docklands was feasible. LCY opened 6 years later out at the more open and spacious Royal Docks and in 2022 it served more than 3,000,000 passengers. And fittingly, a plaque to Harry Gees exploits is now up on one of the supports of Heron Quay station, below where this photo was taken. Heron Quay has now disappeared beneath a skyline of offices, skyscrapers and towers and this DLR Station.
I made this "terrarium" a couple weeks ago... I put that in quotes because I really just found some moss outside, put it in a jar. Found some berries that fell from the neighbors tree, put those in the jar. Found a little mushroom and some clovers, put those in the jar too. It's all pretty much dead now, but it gave me inspiration to make an actual terrarium, that's sustainable with ya know, rocks and soil and all that good stuff. I already have some Cori Kindred mushrooms to put in future ones!

This venerable survivor owes its continued existence to its long stint as the Accrington Corporation and latterly Hyndburn towing / recovery vehicle. Still proudly wearing the town's Coat of Arms and 'Corporation Transport' legal lettering, this all-Guy Arab III spent longer in ancillary use than it did in passenger service, although the balance has been redressed more recently, as the bus now earns its keep in the Yorkshire Heritage Bus Company fleet. The former No. 10 is seen after its retirement, parked on the 'Tenement' adjacent to the depot in this June 1982 view.

Temple Square - Conference Center - Auditorium.
La costruzione del Centro Congressi iniziò nel 1997 e fu completata nel 2000.
L'edificio di 130.000 metri quadrati presenta piani su più livelli, una terrazza con vista sul Tempio di Salt Lake City e un giardino pensile.
Fu costruito su un intero isolato, utilizzando gli stessi giacimenti di granito utilizzati per costruire il Tempio di Salt Lake City nel XIX secolo.
Fu inaugurato nel 2000 da Gordon B. Hinckley, allora presidente della Chiesa.
Lo scopo principale dell'edificio è che i Santi degli Ultimi Giorni e i dirigenti di tutto il mondo partecipino alla conferenza generale semestrale della Chiesa di Gesù Cristo dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni. Durante questa conferenza, ascoltano i consigli dei dirigenti della Chiesa sotto la guida del profeta e presidente della Chiesa.
Questa conferenza generale si tiene ogni anno tra aprile e ottobre, quando migliaia di persone riempiono l'auditorium da 21.000 posti cinque volte nel corso dei due giorni della conferenza per ascoltare i dirigenti della Chiesa. L'auditorium principale è uno dei più grandi al mondo nel suo genere, abbastanza grande da contenere un Boeing 747.
L'esclusivo design del balcone, sostenuto da un solo lato, elimina la necessità di colonne di sostegno e consente a ogni partecipante di vedere il pulpito da qualsiasi posto nell'auditorium.
Ogni discorso della conferenza viene tradotto in oltre 90 lingue, molte delle quali vengono interpretate nel Centro Congressi e trasmesse in tutto il mondo in tempo reale.
Durante la conferenza generale, la musica è fornita dal Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, composto da 360 cantori.
Il palco dell'auditorium ospita un organo Schoenstein, con oltre 7.000 canne, alcune delle quali tra le più grandi esistenti.
Dietro le quinte di questo evento, centinaia di dipendenti e volontari si occupano delle luci, dell'audio e delle riprese.
Il Centro Congressi è anche la sede degli spettacoli del Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square, famoso in tutto il mondo. Questa sede ospita la trasmissione nazionale del coro "Music & the Spoken Word" durante i mesi estivi e l'annuale speciale natalizio della PBS "Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir".
È anche una delle sedi principali dello spettacolo di ispirazione latina "Luz de las Naciones", oltre a una serie di altri concerti e impegni speciali durante tutto l'anno.
All'interno del Centro Congressi si trova il Conference Center Theater.
Questo teatro da 850 posti è paragonabile a un teatro di Broadway, con luci controllate da computer e un impianto audio all'avanguardia.
È sede di produzioni della Chiesa come "Salvatore del Mondo" e di altre produzioni ed eventi culturali rivolti alle famiglie.
I giardini pensili sono accessibili tramite una visita guidata.
Offrono una vista panoramica sul centro di Salt Lake City, sulla Salt Lake Valley e sulla catena montuosa Wasatch.
Temple Square - Conference Center - Auditorium.
The Conference Center construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2000.
The 1.4-million-square-foot building features multilevel floors, terrace views of the Salt Lake Temple, and a rooftop garden.
It was built over an entire city block from the same granite deposits that were used to build the Salt Lake Temple in the 1800s.
It was dedicated in 2000 by Gordon B. Hinckley, then President of the Church.
The primary purpose of the building is for Latter-day Saints and leaders from all over the globe to attend the semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During this conference they listen to the counsel of Church leaders under the guidance of the prophet and President of the Church.
This general conference happens during April and October each year, when thousands of people fill the 21,000-seat auditorium five times over the two-day conference to listen to Church leaders.
The main auditorium is one of the largest of its kind in the world—large enough to fit a Boeing 747 airplane.
The unique balcony design, supported on only one side, eliminates the need for support columns and allows for each attendee to see the pulpit from any seat in the auditorium.
Each conference address is translated into over 90 languages, many of which are interpreted in the Conference Center and broadcast around the world in real time.
During general conference, music is provided by The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, which is made up of 360 singers.
The auditorium stage houses a Schoenstein organ, which has over 7,000 pipes—some of them among the largest organ pipes in existence.
Behind the scenes of this event, hundreds of employees and volunteers work the lighting, sound, and cameras.
The Conference Center is also a performance home of the world-famous Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. This venue provides a home for the choir’s national broadcast of Music & the Spoken Word during the summer months and the annual PBS holiday special Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir.
It is also a major venue for the Latin-inspired "Luz de las Naciones" performance along with a host of other concerts and special engagements throughout the year.
Located within the Conference Center is the Conference Center Theater.
This 850-seat theater is comparable to a Broadway theater with computer-controlled lighting and a state-of-the-art sound system.
It is the site of Church productions such as Savior of the World and other family-oriented cultural productions and events.
The rooftop gardens are available through a guided tour.
This provides a panoramic view of downtown Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake Valley, and the Wasatch Mountain Range.

When I looked up and saw this lone, tiny tree along the cliffs of Zion's Virgin Narrows I had to shake my head. It's incredible what living things will do to eek out an existence in the harshest of environments. The contrast of the bright yellow autumn foliage against the dark sandstone had me immediately reaching for my camera.

We are officially into the late Fall and early Winter season when I see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) making its rounds, checking on the holes it dug in a tree a day before, and making a few more holes for the next day.
This one happens to be a male, most easily identified by the red crown and especially the red throat. And as is common for these guys, they tend to be shy and like to stay in the shadows while going about their business. They are extremely quite ~ if they have a specific call I've never heard it ~ and they are even very quite when digging their sap holes. I normally discover one because I'm chasing down other small birds and happen upon a Sapsucker.

Although most non-birders believe that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a fictitious bird created just for the humorous name, in fact it is a widespread species of small woodpecker. Its habit of making shallow holes in trees to get sap is exploited by other bird species, and the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community.

Falling in love with film. Here is my first attempt at double exposure photography.
Shot through this roll twice on my Nikon FG.
Shooting film beats a digital shot processed through photoshop everyday of the week!
(This is kind of blindly shot... There was about a week in between exposures, I wasn't totally sure what I was shooting "over".) There is no "spontaneous" photoshop filter, Film wins again.

"I am here not only to evade for a while the clamor and filth and confusion of the cultural apparatus, but also to confront, immediately and directly if it’s possible, the bare bones of existence, the elemental and fundamental, the bedrock which sustains us. I want to be able to look at and into a juniper tree, a piece of quartz, a vulture, a spider, and see it as it is in itself, devoid of all humanly ascribed qualities, anti-Kantian. To meet God or Medusa face to face, even if it means risking everything human in myself. I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock."
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire, 1968
Clearly Abbey borrowed from Thoreau here, but I think he goes further and deeper. A cabin within two miles of very civilized Concord and frequent visits to the town pub weren’t Abbey’s idea of escape into the wilderness. Abbey is, I think, more aggressive and articulate, less self-conscious and preacherly. Not to take away from Thoreau’s genius and value, but for some of his contemporaries, he was too cerebral to make that transition to the gut level of true immersion in nature’s wonders. Consider this comment from a very early critic of his work, Llewelyn Powys, in a Bookman review in 1929. (Of course this critic had no idea that Walden would go on to become the most iconic piece of nature writing ever).
“As I read this dilettante of the bluebird and the bobolink, I constantly find myself becoming impatient. He is too bookish, too literary. To draw direct power out of the ground, out of the smelling, fecund, sweet soil of the earth, it is necessary to lose oneself, it is necessary to leave one’s soul to find it. Thoreau never is able to do this. He is always there, the transcendental original of Concord with a lesson to impart. It is impossible for him to feel nature in his lungs, in his navel, in the marrow of his bones. He must always have his journal-book within reach….”
Perhaps this is sometimes an issue for nature writers, artists and photographers…at what point do you put down the pen, the brush or the camera and just be there. And Thoreau does sometimes seem to be aware of his inability to reach that true Zen moment.
“ I heard a robin in the distance…. O the evening robin, at the end of a New England summer day! If I could ever find the twig he sits upon! I mean he; I mean the twig.” (Walden)

====================
The Eightfold Path describes the way to the end of suffering, as it was laid out by Siddhartha Gautama. It is a practical guideline to ethical and mental development with the goal of freeing the individual from attachments and delusions; and it finally leads to understanding the truth about all things. Together with the Four Noble Truths it constitutes the gist of Buddhism. Great emphasis is put on the practical aspect, because it is only through practice that one can attain a higher level of existence and finally reach Nirvana. The eight aspects of the path are not to be understood as a sequence of single steps, instead they are highly interdependent principles that have to be seen in relationship with each other.
1. Right View
Right view is the beginning and the end of the path, it simply means to see and to understand things as they really are and to realise the Four Noble Truths. As such, right view is the cognitive aspect of wisdom. It means to see things through, to grasp the impermanent and imperfect nature of worldly objects and ideas, and to understand the law of karma and karmic conditioning. Right view is not necessarily an intellectual capacity, just as wisdom is not just a matter of intelligence. Instead, right view is attained, sustained, and enhanced through all capacities of mind. It begins with the intuitive insight that all beings are subject to suffering and it ends with complete understanding of the true nature of all things. Since our view of the world forms our thoughts and our actions, right view yields right thoughts and right actions.
2. Right Intention
While right view refers to the cognitive aspect of wisdom, right intention refers to the volitional aspect, i.e. the kind of mental energy that controls our actions. Right intention can be described best as commitment to ethical and mental self-improvement. Buddha distinguishes three types of right intentions: 1. the intention of renunciation, which means resistance to the pull of desire, 2. the intention of good will, meaning resistance to feelings of anger and aversion, and 3. the intention of harmlessness, meaning not to think or act cruelly, violently, or aggressively, and to develop compassion.
3. Right Speech
Right speech is the first principle of ethical conduct in the eightfold path. Ethical conduct is viewed as a guideline to moral discipline, which supports the other principles of the path. This aspect is not self-sufficient, however, essential, because mental purification can only be achieved through the cultivation of ethical conduct. The importance of speech in the context of Buddhist ethics is obvious: words can break or save lives, make enemies or friends, start war or create peace. Buddha explained right speech as follows: 1. to abstain from false speech, especially not to tell deliberate lies and not to speak deceitfully, 2. to abstain from slanderous speech and not to use words maliciously against others, 3. to abstain from harsh words that offend or hurt others, and 4. to abstain from idle chatter that lacks purpose or depth. Positively phrased, this means to tell the truth, to speak friendly, warm, and gently and to talk only when necessary.
4. Right Action
The second ethical principle, right action, involves the body as natural means of expression, as it refers to deeds that involve bodily actions. Unwholesome actions lead to unsound states of mind, while wholesome actions lead to sound states of mind. Again, the principle is explained in terms of abstinence: right action means 1. to abstain from harming sentient beings, especially to abstain from taking life (including suicide) and doing harm intentionally or delinquently, 2. to abstain from taking what is not given, which includes stealing, robbery, fraud, deceitfulness, and dishonesty, and 3. to abstain from sexual misconduct. Positively formulated, right action means to act kindly and compassionately, to be honest, to respect the belongings of others, and to keep sexual relationships harmless to others. Further details regarding the concrete meaning of right action can be found in the Precepts.
5. Right Livelihood
Right livelihood means that one should earn one's living in a righteous way and that wealth should be gained legally and peacefully. The Buddha mentions four specific activities that harm other beings and that one should avoid for this reason: 1. dealing in weapons, 2. dealing in living beings (including raising animals for slaughter as well as slave trade and prostitution), 3. working in meat production and butchery, and 4. selling intoxicants and poisons, such as alcohol and drugs. Furthermore any other occupation that would violate the principles of right speech and right action should be avoided.
6. Right Effort
Right effort can be seen as a prerequisite for the other principles of the path. Without effort, which is in itself an act of will, nothing can be achieved, whereas misguided effort distracts the mind from its task, and confusion will be the consequence. Mental energy is the force behind right effort; it can occur in either wholesome or unwholesome states. The same type of energy that fuels desire, envy, aggression, and violence can on the other side fuel self-discipline, honesty, benevolence, and kindness. Right effort is detailed in four types of endeavours that rank in ascending order of perfection: 1. to prevent the arising of unarisen unwholesome states, 2. to abandon unwholesome states that have already arisen, 3. to arouse wholesome states that have not yet arisen, and 4. to maintain and perfect wholesome states already arisen.
7. Right Mindfulness
Right mindfulness is the controlled and perfected faculty of cognition. It is the mental ability to see things as they are, with clear consciousness. Usually, the cognitive process begins with an impression induced by perception, or by a thought, but then it does not stay with the mere impression. Instead, we almost always conceptualise sense impressions and thoughts immediately. We interpret them and set them in relation to other thoughts and experiences, which naturally go beyond the facticity of the original impression. The mind then posits concepts, joins concepts into constructs, and weaves those constructs into complex interpretative schemes. All this happens only half consciously, and as a result we often see things obscured. Right mindfulness is anchored in clear perception and it penetrates impressions without getting carried away. Right mindfulness enables us to be aware of the process of conceptualisation in a way that we actively observe and control the way our thoughts go. Buddha accounted for this as the four foundations of mindfulness: 1. contemplation of the body, 2. contemplation of feeling (repulsive, attractive, or neutral), 3. contemplation of the state of mind, and 4. contemplation of the phenomena.
8. Right Concentration
The eighth principle of the path, right concentration, refers to the development of a mental force that occurs in natural consciousness, although at a relatively low level of intensity, namely concentration. Concentration in this context is described as one-pointedness of mind, meaning a state where all mental faculties are unified and directed onto one particular object. Right concentration for the purpose of the eightfold path means wholesome concentration, i.e. concentration on wholesome thoughts and actions. The Buddhist method of choice to develop right concentration is through the practice of meditation. The meditating mind focuses on a selected object. It first directs itself onto it, then sustains concentration, and finally intensifies concentration step by step. Through this practice it becomes natural to apply elevated levels of concentration also in everyday situations.

DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann c.1927
