Six Mile Creek was really rushing. Stormy conditions made for muddy water but the leaves were still on the trees.

I spent a week on this campus when it hosted the 2013 Canada-Wide Science Fair. You can read about my experiences as a delegate to the Canada-Wide Science Fair on my blog.

I remember that I particularly enjoyed the noise that this GE/EMD locomotive combination made as they slogged towards Woodford with a long train of boxcars during their climb to the loop and summit at Tehachapi beyond. The GE's "chock-a -block" 4-cycle exhaust beat was dominant over the higher pitched drone of the 2-cycle EMD's.
The two EMD SD70s are from the absorbed Southern Pacific fleet and carry differing demonstrator liveries of their manufacturers, from whom SP had purchased them.
To get the best views, one must drive as far as the road will take you, park and then hike, preferably climbing atop a taller dune to proved visibility.... It can be challenging as the sand is loose and doesn't afford much purchase. Warnings abound about the need to carry water... when the temperature is above 80F, a gallon per person! Luckily, the temperature felt more like 60 while we hiked - that white sand does reflect! White Sands National Monument, New Mexico

Go Up Higher
"But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you." [Luke 14:10]
When first the life of grace begins in our soul, we do indeed draw near to God, but it is with great fear and trembling, the soul conscious of guilt, and humbled thereby, is overawed with the solemnity of its position; by a sense of the grandeur of Jehovah, in whose presence it stands with unfeigned bashfulness it takes the lowest room. But, in after life, as the Christian grows in grace, although he will never forget the solemnity of his position, and will never lose that holy awe which must encompass a gracious man when he is in the presence of the God who can create or can destroy; yet his fear has all its terror taken out of it; it becomes a holy reverence, and no more an overshadowing dread. He is called up higher, to greater access to God in Christ Jesus. Then the man of God, walking amid the splendours of Deity, and veiling his face like the glorious cherubim, with those twin wings, the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ, will, reverent and bowed in spirit, approach the throne; and seeing there a God of love, of goodness, and of mercy, he will realize rather the covenant character of God than his absolute Deity. He will see in God rather his goodness than his greatness, and more of his love than of his majesty. Then will the soul, bowing still as humbly as aforetime, enjoy a more sacred liberty of intercession; for while prostrate before the glory of the Infinite God, it will be sustained by the refreshing consciousness of being in the presence of boundless mercy and infinite love, and by the realization of acceptance “in the Beloved.”[Ephesians 1:6] Thus the believer is bidden to come up higher, and is enabled to exercise the privilege of rejoicing in God, and drawing near to him in holy confidence, saying, “Abba, Father.” [Romans 8:15] “So may we go from strength to strength, and daily grow in grace, till in our image raised at length, we see His face to face.” Halellujah, God bless

The aforementioned photting on the curves at Siberia. This is why the Transcon between Ludlow and Cadiz on the eastern side of California is up there as one of my favourite stretches of railway in the world.
Don't get it? Maybe you're in the wrong hobby. Maybe you should be photting paving stones or pizza boxes or something. Not been? Maybe it's time you did.
See you on the 66...

If I'm losing balance in a pose, I stretch higher and God reaches down to steady me. It works every time, and not just in yoga. ~ T. Guillemets

Photographed while hiking in the Gila Wilderness Area in the Gila National Forest. The Gila Wilderness was the world’s first designated Wilderness Area, and it’s the largest in the southwest.
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

climbing up the old concrete walkway up the bluffs reveals the remains of the once proud McKinley Elementary School. The school was built in 1910 and served students till the late 1970's.It is now privately owned and decaying....
The school has a unique location along the wooded bluffs in East Moline,IL.
Happy (school) fence Friday...!
Was re-reading Borges's Library of Babel and wondering why he never discusses the cellar, which was really the most interesting part of that building. Lovely red brick vaulting, knob-and-tube wiring, the Victorian era circulation carts, the paleography carrels, where our hair turned blue from Penicillium, that is, before it all fell out ...one could get nostalgic. But Borges is not interested in that, but in the higher level, metaphorical stuff. Fine. I like barrel vaulting. In cellars, anyway. Looks pretty silly, above ground.
