Just outside Grand Junction, Colorado sits Mount Garfield. I happened upon it as a storm was rolling through and a rainbow appeared.
As we approached Grand Junction, a series of mountain ranges with interesting rock formations appeared on our right hand side along I-70.
My "Beautiful Scenery But No place To Pull Over to Photograph Syndrome" immediately kicked up a notch and a half!
Oh wow, how lucky as we exited the highway for food, a service road allowed us to pull over and me to take a few images of this remarkable mountain peak along with a dramatic looking sky (it was a bit windy and drizzling), all from the comfort of the passenger seat!
Hmmm, should we do a hike up to this peak instead of one in Colorado National Monument?
A quick Google Map lookup gave me the answer: "The best training in town, hands down. The incline sections are nasty and are perfect for mountain training. Very steep and you definitely want to mind your footing to not take a long tumble on the way down." 😱😱😱
For the inquiring minds:
"One of the main geological features of the Grand Valley is the Bookcliffs, a dirt-covered mountain range extending 200 miles, beginning where the Colorado River flows through DeBeque Canyon near Palisade, all the way to Price Canyon, which is near Helper, Utah.
The most noticeable landmark of this range is Mount Garfield, which is only a two-mile hike up, but the elevation change is 2,000 feet, making it a very challenging climb. The crusty dirt on the trail can be slick at times, so hiking poles are recommended, especially on the way down."
I wish you a wonderful weekend!
This landmark is synonymous with Grand Junction, CO. There is actually a strenuous four mile round trip hike that you can take to the top if so inclined.

If you are in the Los Angeles area, check out cat café Crumbs & Whiskers. It's a great place to spend a half hour petting and playing with cats and all cats are adoptable. I used to have an orange stripey cat who was super feisty named Dr. Pirate and so I am always a little timid around them but Garfield was super sweet and loving. He would make a great pet cat! Go check them out today!

Auf einer Wanderung in Chinque Terre blieb er unbeeindruckt in einer kleinen Gasse liegen - sein Blick - schon fast ein wenig furchterregend! :)
on a hiking-tour in chinque terre - please, looking at this view - it was a little bit fearsome for us! :)

Gem Way, Garfield, alley behind a bunch of Penn Avenue businesses, is full of stuff no one is supposed to see, but which nonetheless often fills the camera frame in unexpectedly pleasing ways. In this one, the faded cheer and weathering of the garage, the covered stair, and the tower caught my attention. Everytime I look at this I see a large black boot in the lower left, until my brain sorts it out.
Mount Garfield is found just to the north and east of Grand Junction Colorado. It is the eastern most major peak in the Bookcliff Mountains, the Bookcliffs are an older range of mountains that run mostly east to west.
The Warner Local waits in the Rio Tinto interchange yard while the ISCLB 01 blasts by on Main 2 at Center Garfield, Utah on Oct. 1, 2015. In an interesting twist, the ISCLB (Intermodal, Salt Lake City-Long Beach) train was upgraded to Z-train status when Precision Scheduled Railroading was adopted in 2019.

Thanks for your visits, faves and comments..(c)rebfoto
I like Garfield very much, so funny ;-D. What do you think: "Is this a lookalike?"
He is a bit sad, don't know why......
Thank you very much for your visit. Any comment (I read them all ;-)) or fave that you may leave is very appreciated.
Train #1875 departs Garfield, New Jersey on the Bergen County Line behind the honorary #4109, one of thirteen GP40Ps built for the CNJ in 1968 with NJDOT money and now beautifully restored to its CNJ livery. The spur on the right was part of the Erie's Dundee Branch which, in its last years, was operated by the ill-fated New York and Greenwood Lake.

Garfield est un chat fictif, issu du comic strip homonyme Garfield, créé par Jim Davis et publié pour la première fois le 19 juin 1978.
a volte mi hanno detto che ho gli occhi da gatto...
Felino un po randagio, un po selvaggio, che fa di ruderi nascosti dalla folta vegetazione, un piccolo regno, il suo, entrando da pertugi nascosti, e salendo ad altezze proibitive, sfidando forti vertigini, ma in fondo, un grosso, grasso micione, che adora stare a panza al sole e, ammettiamolo, con il culo pesante...
Thanks to Alex for this beautiful portrait
***** UPDATE - I think that some people are mistaking this for a "normal" fall color image. Although it was taken in the fall, almost all of the yellow-orange color in the scene was, in reality, green. The infrared processing is what changed the color *****
No, those aren't Larches - this is a color Infrared image of Mt. Garfield from the Middle Fork Trail. Coming in from the left is the Taylor River, emptying into the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. I know color Infrared isn't for everyone, but it's fun once in a while. Full Spectrum converted camera (by Life-Pixel) with an external Super Color Infrared (590nm) filter.

Le chat
I
Dans ma cervelle se promène
Ainsi qu’en son appartement,
Un beau chat, fort, doux et charmant.
Quand il miaule, on l’entend à peine,
Tant son timbre est tendre et discret ;
Mais que sa voix s’apaise ou gronde,
Elle est toujours riche et profonde.
C’est là son charme et son secret.
Cette voix, qui perle et qui filtre
Dans mon fonds le plus ténébreux,
Me remplit comme un vers nombreux
Et me réjouit comme un philtre.
Elle endort les plus cruels maux
Et contient toutes les extases ;
Pour dire les plus longues phrases,
Elle n’a pas besoin de mots.
Non, il n’est pas d’archet qui morde
Sur mon coeur, parfait instrument,
Et fasse plus royalement
Chanter sa plus vibrante corde,
Que ta voix, chat mystérieux,
Chat séraphique, chat étrange,
En qui tout est, comme en un ange,
Aussi subtil qu’harmonieux !
II
De sa fourrure blonde et brune
Sort un parfum si doux, qu’un soir
J’en fus embaumé, pour l’avoir
Caressée une fois, rien qu’une.
C’est l’esprit familier du lieu ;
Il juge, il préside, il inspire
Toutes choses dans son empire ;
Peut-être est-il fée, est-il dieu ?
Quand mes yeux, vers ce chat que j’aime
Tirés comme par un aimant
Se retournent docilement
Et que je regarde en moi-même
Je vois avec étonnement
Le feu de ses prunelles pâles,
Clairs fanaux, vivantes opales,
Qui me contemplent fixement.
Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal
