Elle date du XIVème siècle. C'est une des cinq portes mérinides de Fès-el-Jédid. Au moment de l'arrivée des Français à Fès, elle était murée depuis de longues années à la suite d'une épidémie de typhus ou de peste et par mesure sanitaire : il se dit que cadavres étaient jetés dans le ravin extérieur et que c'est pour épargner au quartier l'odeur nauséabonde du ravin que l'on mura la porte.
De nos jours, parfaitement restaurée, la porte marque l'entrée dans Fès-el-Jédid. Un jardin est en cours d'aménagement sur la pente.
On a stormy, gray day, the sun breaks through long enough to highlight only the ridge lines of the mountains across the valley.
Since the chances of travelling anytime soon are vanishing into thin air it is bittersweet to go through the folders on your hard drive and relive some past adventures. Meeting wild bisons for the very first time surely was one of my top adventures last year.
Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park.
It's always cool seeing this in the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park. Many times there are herds of buffalo (bison) and assorted other park animals near this place.
On this morning the entire valley was covered by an untracked blanket of snow. This is a small creek across the road from the Buffalo Ranch.
Just another beautiful day in the Lamar Valley.
"The Lamar Buffalo Ranch was created to preserve one of the last free-roaming bison herds in the United States. The ranch was established in 1907 when 28 bison were moved from Fort Yellowstone to the Lamar Valley in the northeast portion of the park. The ranch supported bison ranching into the 1950s. As the ranched herd increased in size, it was released to the open range and it interbred with the wild herd. The ranch continued to be used to produce hay to feed the bison in the winter until the 1950s.
The historic district comprises five buildings built between 1915 and the 1930s. The historic district includes the ranger station, built in 1915, the bunkhouse, built in 1929, a residence which was moved from Soda Butte in 1938, a 1927 barn and a corral The bunkhouse, its interior remodeled, is used by the Yellowstone Association, which conducts classes and seminars there."
The weekend is here. May yours be special!
We made a fun stop along the Lamar River, Yellowstone. Fall color, bison, birds, scenic 'scapes - hard to decide which way to photograph.

Waiting for a turn to feed on a bison carcass. In the coyote community or at least during winter in the Lamar valley there is a pecking order. Only one coyote may feed at a time.... violate this code of conduct and there will be harsh consequences. This coyote clearly knew the rules and kept a safe distance away until the current coyote feeding was satisfied and left the area.
Lamar Valley • Yellowstone National Park
Was looking through some photos and came across a panoramic of the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park. This was taken on the first day that I had been to the park. I took a break tor rest and this view is when it hit me just how vast and majestic Yellowstone was. Can't wait to return next year.
My last chase of 2017 was June 29th and it finally ended with great structure, slow moving supercells and everything that had been missing up to that point. Having Lyla and Eli along was icing on the cake. Spent the night in Burlington and then chased from Punkin Center down into Kansas by nightfall.
This was just south of Lamar, Colorado before sunset...a fantastic, slow moving supercell that we followed for almost two hours after this. Perfect ending to the 2017 season.
Can't wait to see what's in store this spring!
A pair of SD40-2s and a CW44AH lead Q326 through the plant at Lamar in October of 2008. Lamar, located at the west end of Wyoming yard, was once the location of a diamond with the New York Central's line from Allegan.

On the second day of a 12-day chase trip to the central plains, we caught up with this supercell in its early stages just south of Lamar, Colorado. We started the day in Oklahoma and would chase all afternoon and end up in Kansas.
We were able to sit at this spot for over 30 minutes and time-lapse the distant structure forming until it went full supercell and even dropped a brief white funnel for a moment.
After this we blasted north and east of Lamar to keep up with it. Was a great afternoon, chasing all the way after dark where we time-lapsed some incredible lightning along an MCS moving towards us.
Pretty excited about the time-lapse film that will come from a total of 14 days out there this year. Saw the best stuff I've ever seen minus possibly Booker.

Following a bison trail down to the river, Yellowstone NP, WY.
The entire Yellowstone area was where Native Americans historically traveled on seasonal hunting trips. They were harassed and pursued throughout the region by gold prospectors, army troops and immigrants moving across the continent seeking a place to settle during the mid 1800s. The fact that it was preserved and protected is a blessing to all of us. This is where we can go to see many animals in the wild (even if they are being ogled and photographed!) and we are allowed to have just a minute inkling of what the West was like at one time.
Great Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) with its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.
