This shot in the Rockies is above Como, CO on the old D, SP & P RR grade on the way up to the Divide after the biggest Boreas Pass reversal in direction back toward the west and above Roberts Cabin. Here you can see the grade! The old grade (Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad - early paper RRs included Pacific in their names) shows a rebuilt tourist section along the original grade as long as the road left the old grade temporarily. Even in Google view, it looks like they scattered cinders for authentication and for effect. I bet the old Mason-Bogie locomotives blasted plenty of cinders on their way up here. First, before heading up the old grade, boogie your way around Como, the panning camps in the valley above (Tarryall Camp) and especially the old RR Hotel if you have not had breakfast! Go empty! They will fill you beyond capacity. Under order.
This shot shows the spot where friends and family dined at a card table up by the rise on the curve before the grade was rebuilt. I have been over the old dirt road recovered from the rail bed several times before. I remember camping outside on the western approach to Boreas when it snowed on me one night years ago. That was the most comfy night I ever spent coved with snow! Look for the old track loop on your way up the east side; it's still there and in the next post. Even in Google view, it looks like they scattered cinders for authentication. It is easily found (even the narrow gauge tracks) on Google maps - Boreas Pass. Stop and snap your own takes of all about you can find! Frankly, friends and family dined at a card table up on the curve before the grade was rebuilt. Ace views there. Boogie your way up there!
Sooner or later, it always comes time to get up and move on. Get your back brushed off before getting in the vehicle. Mine was loaded by then as I got more and more comfortable on my aspen leaf blanket. I needed to be there all August and fall instead of here!
Some of these spots are in the Rockies are best found by looking around. Because of our viscous fall, we have to do that now anyway if we want pictures as many Rocky (and Sierra Nevada) areas are on fire and the skies are the pits, Brad and otherwise. This is another for my return to another autumn series this badly lost fall of cloudless skies of fire haze from that squirrely fake global warming. They fear the Wyo and Colorado Chambers/Poudre fire may eventually merge making a major mess. Will that torch the Old Roach tie hacking area? Massive fires ahoy!

I realize that I have not uploaded a photo in the last two days. The reason is simple: I have been sick. :P
I feel much better now though. :)

We occasionally travel a secondary road on the way to the lake and have been watching the progress of this foal. Amazing how fast it's grown but still very close to the mare.
Thank you for viewing.
There is no denying it any longer. The chill of fall is here and the summer is gone. Sigh.
Sensational Sunday to you my friend.
I LOVE this photo for one simple reason. I take soooooooo many photos of my niece. She hates smiling photos. HATES them. She will almost never smile. However, tonight we were taking the fall installment of her senior photos. I had her lay on the sidewalk, downtown, in a pile of leaves. There was a stop light right by us, and a car pulled up. These guys started asking if she was okay, and joking around with her. They were cracking her up. I guess we did look a bit weird, but the result was perfect. I got a genuine, beautiful smile.....one that even got her stamp of approval.
Oh, yeah, and it fits into the SYWBPP lottery theme. Yay!!
Well.....they say that Fall has arrived. Hard to tell by the Temps here in the Southeast : ))
I haven't been around much this week, trying to play "catch up" tonight. I've been busy doing Computer Upgrades at work for the last two weeks....hopefully I can get around to everyone tonight. Enjoy the weekend ; )

Fall is in the air and the last crops have been harvested before the cold weather arrives later this week. There was a big ominous sky hanging over Sisters and Tumalo this afternoon.

Is it Fall or just the heat/drought ?
My Japanese Maple tree leaves are turning a little early. It's beautiful, but not natural.

Thanks to each of your for your kind words. I am blessed to have such supportive Flickr friends.
I took this shot in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin in Northern Door County. It is one of the most photographed scenes in Door County. It is a beautiful view anytime, but fall provides an awesome display of color. If you have the time, please View On Black Large
September 22, the autumnal equinox, marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but the fall harvest begins early in the harsh continental climate of eastern Kazakhstan. By September 9, 2013, when the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite acquired this image, several fields were already harvested and bare. Others were dark green with pasture grasses or ripening crops. The fields fill the contours of the land, running long and narrow down mountain valleys and spreading in large squares over the plains.
Agriculture is an important segment of the economy in Kazakhstan: the country’s dry climate is ideal for producing high quality wheat for export. However, 61 percent of the country’s agricultural land is pasture for livestock. The area shown in this image, far eastern Kazakhstan near the Chinese border, is a minor wheat-growing region and may also produce sunflowers, barley, and other food crops.
An artifact of Soviet-era collective farms, most of the farms in Kazakhstan are large, covering more than 5,000 hectares (12,500 acres). Some of the larger fields in the image reflect the big business side of agriculture. However, family farms and small agriculture businesses account for 35 percent of the country’s agricultural production, and some of these are visible as well, particularly in the uneven hills and mountains.
Nearly all agriculture in Kazakhstan is rain fed. Farmers in this region have designed their fields to take advantage of rain flowing down hills, allowing the natural shape of the land to channel water to crops. The effect is a mosaic of green and tan with tones matching the natural vegetation in the mountains to the north.

managed to get a lucky view squeezed (& cropped) between poles & wires - taken from the passenger side in Westminster MD
a pretty start to Fall
Falling cup of espresso. Increased contrast, mattened background.
The idea was to drop the cup from half a meter of height into a bucket of water with a towel on top - to dampen the fall and take care of the mess. (I had the camera on a tripod with an external flash, next to the bucket.) Two things were problematic; timing the manual trigger and getting the liquid in an interesting motion. The first problem was solved by dropping cups of water until I had a feel for when to shoot. I soon found out that I had to give the cup a rotating motion to solve the other - so I basically flipped the whole thing like a coin. Which of course made hitting the bucket a little more difficult... :-/
Fall in Virginia...
“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
― Lauren DeStefano, Wither
Low and behold I joined another group.. basically I just needed inspiration. I don't know how many of these musically challenged I will be doing. I just wanted to try something different.
The word "falling" has great meaning to me so I thought that I would start off with this one. I've never heard this song before.
