The scenic road Akamina Parkway leads steeply and at an altitude of 1646 m opens up views of beautiful Lake Cameron, nestled between the majestic mountain peaks of the Akamina Ridge. It is named after Donald Cameron (1834–1921), a British officer and diplomat.

The lake, in addition to the beauty of the coasts, is known and the wealth of fish, and grizzlies are often seen on the far slopes.

Живописная дорога Акамина драйв круто взмывается вверх и на высоте 1646 м внезапно открывает вид на озеро Камерон, расположенное между величественными горными пиками Акаминского хребта. Названо в честь британского офицера и дипломата Дональда Камерона.

Это озеро, помимо красы берегов, известно и богатством рыбы. А на склонах берегов нередко встречаются гризли ...

My daughter used to live in the backyard cottage of people who own this gorgeous German Shepherd, Luca. She is now living somewhere else, but we both still miss dear Luca. Such a magnificent and very sweet dog.

WM 7471 leads the 5pm NPE northbound trip from Owosso to Ashley. Blinding snow and bitter cold made for a long but well worth wait. SRI is leasing 7471 and 57 from PNLX for the season while PM 1225 gets some fresh wheel work.

This path leads to a WWII bunker just over the summit. From there you overlook the suburb of North Ward and the Strand. In the distance you can see Magnetic Island. You can tell by the clothes that Winter is very mild here.

The sun is rapidly retreating on the horizon as BNSF 6540 East leads general merchandise freight HSTOBAR131A across Tower Line Road.

D&RGW #5399 leads an eastbound out of the south portal of Tennessee Pass tunnel, and is about to roll more or less downhill for the next 100 plus miles. Meanwhile, #3101 waits in the hole with a westbound it has dragged up to here, but will also soon roll downhill once thru the tunnel to at least as far as Minturn. From there west, the #3101 will have plenty of rugged terrain to still cover before destinations are reached. This location just south of the tunnel was a really fun, scenic and isolated place to just watch the action go down on the Grande.

Our hike leads us along Антени (Anteni), which rises powerfully on the left of this image above the dark pine trees. Its broad, lightly rocky flank catches the sunlight filtering through a scattered sky. The drifting clouds add depth to the atmosphere, allowing light and shadow to continuously sweep across the slopes. Further left in the distance, slightly toward the center of the frame, lies Titov Vrv — the highest peak of the Šar Mountains National Park (2,747 m). From afar it appears softer in shape, almost bluish-grey against the horizon, yet its massive presence remains unmistakable. It is remarkable to see it resting so subtly within the landscape, like a quiet giant behind the foreground ridges. In the foreground, the spruce trees create a dark natural frame, while grassy hills roll in layered waves toward the horizon. The open mountain scenery gains extra dynamism from the interplay of clouds and sun: some slopes light up while others fall back into shadow. This constant shift makes the scene vibrant without losing its sense of calm. What makes this place even more special today is that it is not only a hiking destination, but also a place for horse riding. Horse Riding 1May, nestled here in the Sharr Mountains, offers rides of approximately 5 hours toward the Leshnica Waterfall. For those who love horseback riding, it is a unique way to experience this vast landscape — under the same open sky and between the same sweeping mountain ridges. Visitors can also extend the experience by staying overnight. Up here, you still feel that this is not a backdrop, but true wild habitat. Bears, wolves and lynx genuinely live in these mountains — mostly unseen, yet always present in thought. The hike itself is technically straightforward, but the altitude makes itself felt. It is not a heroic expedition, and precisely that simplicity makes it special: to pause, breathe, and look out as the layers of the Šar massif unfold beneath a vivid sky.

A wide view over the Šar Mountains National Park, with Антени (Anteni) rising on the left and Titov Vrv visible in the distance. Under a soft scattered sky, sunlight moves gently across the rolling slopes and forested valleys. The small farm visible on the hillside is Horse Riding 1May, from here, visitors can explore the mountains on horseback, including longer rides, or simply stay overnight and experience the vastness and quiet of this remarkable landscape.

Onze wandeltocht voert ons langs Антени (Anteni), die op deze foto links krachtig oprijst boven de donkere dennen. Zijn brede, licht rotsige flank vangt het zonlicht dat door een scattered sky naar beneden valt. De verspreide wolken geven de lucht diepte en laten licht en schaduw voortdurend over de hellingen schuiven. Meer naar links in de verte, iets richting het midden van het beeld, ligt Titov Vrv — de hoogste top van het Šar Mountains National Park (2.747 m). Door de afstand oogt hij zachter van vorm, bijna blauwgrijs tegen de horizon, maar zijn massieve aanwezigheid blijft onmiskenbaar. Het is bijzonder om hem hier zo subtiel in het landschap te zien liggen, als stille reus achter de voorgrond. Op de voorgrond vormen de sparren een donker kader, terwijl de grashellingen in lagen over elkaar heen golven. Het open berglandschap krijgt extra dynamiek door het spel van wolken en zon: sommige flanken lichten op, andere verdwijnen in schaduw. Die wisseling maakt het beeld levendig zonder zijn rust te verliezen. Wat deze plek tegenwoordig extra bijzonder maakt, is dat je hier niet alleen kunt wandelen, maar ook paardrijden. Horse Riding 1May, genesteld hier in de Sharr Mountains, biedt onder andere een tocht van ongeveer 5 uur richting de Leshnica Waterfall. Voor liefhebbers van paardrijden is het een unieke manier om dit uitgestrekte landschap te beleven — onder dezelfde open hemel, tussen dezelfde bergkammen. En wie wil, kan de ervaring verlengen door te blijven slapen. Hierboven voel je nog altijd dat dit geen decor is, maar leefgebied. Beren, wolven en lynxen leven hier werkelijk, meestal onzichtbaar maar altijd aanwezig in gedachte. De wandeling zelf is technisch eenvoudig, maar de hoogte — laat zich voelen. Geen heroïsche expeditie, maar juist die eenvoud maakt het bijzonder: stilstaan, ademhalen en uitkijken terwijl de lagen van het Šar-massief zich ontvouwen onder een levendige hemel.

The Hahnenmoss Pass (German: Hahnenmoospass) is a high mountain pass in Switzerland, connecting Lenk im Simmental to Adelboden in the Bernese Oberland. With an elevation of 1,950 metres above sea level, the Hahnenmoos Pass is the lowest pass between the upper Simmental (west) and the Engstligental (east). Although a road leads to the pass from Adelboden, the pass can not be traversed by car. In winter the pass is part of a ski area.

My husband took the day off. We decided to pack the truck and do the circuit through Jasper, the Icefields and then onto Abraham Lake. It is about a thirteen hour drive but every turn and twist on the road leads to another photo op and, yet, another adventure.

We took Jager, my German Shepherd. She is a wonderful companion. She is always ready to go!

I find the mountains are a challenge to put into the camera - to try to duplicate the 'Ahaa' moment that you feel as you stand in awe is a talent I have not mastered yet.

How can you interpret or communicate the grandeur and the intense enormity of a mountain that stands hovering over you into a tiny camera? It is humbling.

This photo was taken very early in the morning - the beginning of our adventure. I was driving on the highway. I was completely transfixed and elated with the sunrise that was transpiring to the left of me. I finally couldn't dismiss it any longer, so I pulled off the highway and found a desolate country road. I needed to get this photo! .

The mountains are a privilege, but to stand alive, under an open sky and bathe in the beauty of another day is a gift...

An SD40U leads loaded ore over Maple Grove Rd. as it makes its way to Proctor with a rare SD40U leading. Thanks to Welch for the help getting to this location and all the additional help this past week.

BNSF 8222 leads a trio of elephant-style Warbonnets with Clay Boswell coal east/southbound through Fisher, MN.

Well, now...this is something, ain't it?! It wasn't every day you got to catch a trio of SD75M Warbonnets in 2007, but it happened on this particular afternoon. And with this being an eastbound in the afternoon on a northern plains winter day, there weren't many shooting options to have any sort of light on the nose. But I knew the tracks turned southerly out east in Fisher, so that's where I headed after this train departed Grand Forks...

An ET44C4 leads a Q train west past Bootlegger.

This is it from Arizona. I never made it as far west or east as I had planned but I'm just happy to have some presentable photos of the Seligman now; last time I had no idea what I was doing and accomplished next to nothing worthwhile.

KCS 6083 leads the Gulfport turn returns from Hattiesburg, MS southbound through Saucier, MS with a short 6 car train for Gulfport.

UP 6780 leads six CP units through the Greves Street curve just west of downtown Milwaukee with a lengthy manifest. The gaggle of CP power includes an SD70ACU, two SD30C-ECOs, an SD60, and a pair of AC44s.

Aurizon units 2701 leads 2363 through Corinda

Making track speed, CN 5435 leads eastbound tonnage past the elevators at Brock. Only on the first leg of Calgary to Saskatoon, hotshot stacker #114 is just getting started into it's Calgary to Toronto mission. The train always seemed to also have some regular freight added when I seen it, but of note is that it's the only train that I've ever regularly seen "Maritime Ontario" containers moving on. All of the elevators here are gone and like so many other places out there, the area now looks like just another "flat spot" along the railroad.

Former EL SDP-45 #6687 leads an interesting set of power for "Flare Friday" as she heads a westbound freight over the Vermilion River. Helping out are two ex-PC units, an SD-40 and a U-25B. Given the nice patch job, definitely the right leader in my book.

Regional Railways liveried (Direct Rail Services) 37425 'Sir Robert McAlpine / Concrete Bob' leads the 6P01 0445 Wickford to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf past Ely Dock Junction, with BR Large Logo 37424 'Avro Vulcan XH558' at the rear.

37418 leads 11 TTA two axle fuel tanks over the viaduct at Ackworth on the line through Pontefract Baghill to Moorthorpe on the morning of March the 7th 2023. These wagons have been in store at Gascoigne Wood since mid November 2022 after being made redundant in their work carrying Aviation fuel from the Grangemouth Refinery. Running as train 6Z42, the 09:45 from Gascoigne Wood to Lydney, the wagons are heading for a new era in Preservation at the Dean Forest Railway.

2471 leads the Westlander into Graceville

Ryburn Reservoir

This road leads down to the reservoir in the previous upload. All through the summer months it is very dark down here, the canopy of leaves stops the sunlight getting through. Although today there was no sun, the area is much lighter now.
