It is unfeasible for me to take only one photograph or choose one image that I truly believe captures the essence of that place. It just doesn’t happen that way for me :-)

The path leads deep into Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand. It is a wonderful place to spend a few hours or more.
This photo was taken 23 minutes later at the same observation lounge of Tochou (都庁) as the previous photo.
The road marked by taller buildings toward Fujisan is National Route 20, which is also called Koushuu Kaidou (甲州街道) as the trunk road leads to Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), and Koushuu is its old name.
Shinjuku was originally developed as a post town on Koushuu Kaidou in the Edo era. Shinjuku (新宿) means “new post town.”
This was also the venue where Miles Davis played “Jean-Pierre” in 1981, which is included in his live recording album “We Want Miles” released in 1982. It is credited as Shinjuku Nishiguchi Hiroba, which was a vacant lot waiting for the construction of this skyscraper. .
A beautiful hike leads in about 30 minutes from the parish church in the village centre of La Val to the chapel past some beautiful old farmsteads of the valley.

This was taken at Cape Sounio in Athens. The road leads to the Temple of Poseidon and that's where all this "stage" lighting comes from. We were going there to be in the darkest point of Athens in terms of light pollution on our quest chasing the stars that night and as we were just a turn or two before the temple I saw this. I left the car lights on so they would lit up the road in front of me thinking what an irony it was... We were trying to avoid the lights, yet those same lights gave us this photo! But wait! Photography itself means writing with light in greek! Photo comes from Light (aka Phos or Φως in greek) and graph(y) comes from Writing (aka Grafo or Γραφω in greek). Ohhh well, it just took me a Galaxy, a temple of an ancient God of Greek mythology and a moment to really see it!!! :-)
Scurdie Ness is a headland located on the South side of the River South Esk estuary, Montrose, Angus, Scotland. The River leads from the North Sea into Montrose Harbour and then into Montrose Basin. The headland has also been referred to as Scurdie Ness, Montrose point or Montroseness. The word Scurdie is a local word for the volcanic rock found there and Ness means a promontory, cape or headland. The coastline from Scurdie Ness to Rickle Craig has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Scurdie Ness Lighthouse is located on the headland and has also been referred to as Montroseness Lighthouse. In 1867 the seafaring community of Ferryden made representations to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses to have a light established on Montrose Point due to the numerous shipwrecks and great loss of life along that coast. There are 11 wrecks recorded around the mouth of the estuary.
The lighthouse was built by David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and at 6 pm on Tuesday 1 March 1870 the tower was lit for the first time. During World War II the lighthouse was temporarily painted black so that it could not be used by the German bombers as a daytime reference point. The light was not illuminated except when requested by the Royal Navy.
The lighthouse is a category B listed building of architectural/historic interest, Historical Scotland Building ID: 4958. Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland - Canmore ID: 36262
Originally the light characteristic was fixed white but in 1907 was changed to isophase white 60 seconds (i.e., light 30 seconds, eclipse 30 seconds). Scurdie Ness lighthouse was converted to automatic operation in 1987 and now displays 3 white flashes separated by 2.5 seconds and repeated every 20 seconds. The light is 182,000 candlepower and on a clear night can be seen for approximately 42 km.
The buildings within the grounds of the lighthouse are now privately owned. Cars are not allowed along the road leading from Ferryden to the lighthouse but it is a popular walk and sightings of seals and dolphins are not unusual. Whales are sometimes seen in the area including rare sightings of humpback whales.
I wrote a short blog post on my afternoon of shooting building abstracts: brianevansphoto.com/2022/01/04/an-afternoon-of-building-a...

The central doorway leads into the dark, atmospheric vestibule, where the roof is supported by 18 columns with wonderfully varied floral capitals in the form of palm leaves, lotus buds and papyrus fans; some also have bunches of grapes, a distinctive Roman touch.

Although only this column room remains of the original temple, the interior reliefs and walls are in good condition for a forgotten temple in the interior of Egypt. There are still improvements in progress through the restoration process.
Central Midland Railway HLCX 1521 leads three cars West past the bluff East of Labadie which strangely has an odd looking cave dug into it. I'm rather curious of how or why that cave came about, but I'm assuming it might have something to do with the pipeline property behind the cliff. Anyhow, trying to find an open spot along the steep ground leading up to the cliff's edge proved challenging but I was able to cling onto a tree right on the edge here to get enough of a view through all the brush. I'm glad I even got some red leaves in what is otherwise an area of sparse fall colors at best and an otherwise clear view of train and bluff. Who knows, maybe Bigfoot usually sits on the ledge of the cave watching the trains go by on his Missouri vacations.. Labadie, MO
CN 5262 leads a 8:18 late City of New Orleans into Chicago as it pulls past 21st Street interlocking where it'll shove back into Chicago Union Station. May 9, 2023
BNSF 720 leads a loaded CP ethanol through the flooded Mississippi River in downtown Davenport, IA.
Since the water is higher than 3" above the top of the rail, the lead locomotives are isolated and the train is pushed through the high water. Once the engines are clear of the water, the traction motor blowers will be run for 10 minutes. The lead engines pull the rest of the train through and the blown down procedure is repeated for the DPU.

Amtrak P32AC-DM 700 leads train Empire Service train 239 north out of the tunnels at Oscawana Island in Cortlandt, NY.
CSXT GP40-2 #6393 leads local job A700 through the rolling countryside of northwest Georgia utilizing an ex SAL branch hence the milepost marking the distance to Richmond, VA. The ex RF&P EMD wasnt too bad either.
66591 Leads three more class 66's out of Midland Road depot in Leeds. I was actually here in the hope I would see a Colas class 70 on cement wagons that I saw about half an hour earlier but they never came, I left when it started getting dark.
This is one of the several trails at the wonderful property at Torrey Pines, California. This particular trail leads you down to a viewing point hundreds of feet above the Pacific Ocean and the beach below. The terrain in the area is very desert-like.
BNSF 5493 leads what I believe to be a unit sand train of 2-bay hoppers at Savanna, Illinois. The train is passing between the backwater of the edge of the flood-elevated Mississippi River, which should normally be just to the left side of this photo, though the flooding is down a couple of feet from it's crest about a week earlier. While locals including the owners of the water-logged grain elevator seen here wait for the water to recede to perform cleanup, the BNSF seemed to be mostly back to business as usual at this spot. That's the Sabula-Savanna bridge in the distant left, which was opened to traffic in 2017 replacing the previous truss bridge.
I took this photo almost 3 years ago in the beautiful " alpine " village of Betws-y-Coed in North Wales. I was only learning photography at that stage so forgive me the mistakes in the pic.I love the power of the water and the partly hidden cottage in the trees though. There`s a small hotel just across the road from here, where Ive often stayed overnight on my tooings and frowings between Ireland and England. The landlord knows me quite well now and he always tries to give me a room where I can here the "music of the river" as he calls it, from my bedroom window through the night Its very beautiful and I just drift off almost instantly. Ive had a few weekends there too as its right on the edge of Snowdonia National park which is a haven for naturalists and hillwakers and outdoor people like me.. I will be there in the spring next year without fail so Ill meet you there in the Rainbow Cafe or in the old station Railway Carriage Cafe. Now wouldnt that be something!!! Trevor Howard and Greer Garson { "Brief Encounter" } eat yer heart out!!! lol!
Ill be leaving here tomorrow after 11 years so Im a bit emotional at the moment but I suppose Im lucky to feel that way. Do keep your fingers crossed for me!

"The Four Roads "
" One country road, leads me to the school house by the river,
And one country road, to the graveyard where my Mam and Daddy lie,
One country road where I strayed with a loved one in the shadows,
And one dusty road that leads me on my journey far away "
Hugs, P@t.
"Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.
All alone in space and time.
There's nothing here but what here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every Me...he"
Every You Every Me - PLACEBO.♥

These 3x RHTT sets were taken back to York Holgate Works on the 10th, to receive additional wheel maintenance before beginning the 2020 RHTT season.
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.

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.
The vanishing point leads straight to the frozen lake, marked by a tidy line of fishermen’s footsteps shrinking into the distance. The boots make a perfect path, like they all agreed on the same composition. However, none of the footsteps lead back. Have the fishermen vanished? Perhaps the vanishing point is more literal than we think?

Theme: "Vanishing point" (I know... It's on the limit of acceptance :)) HSoS!
NSM 650 leads an empty tailings train past probably the most shot location on the Iron Range towards Silver Bay for another load before returning to the tailings pond later in the morning. The overlook looking towards "Railfan Rock" may be a common shot, but I understood why when I visited for the first time. It really is fantastic.
Direct Rail Services owned Intercity liveried 37419 'Carl Haviland 1954 - 2012' ' leads 4x RHTT sets (642036 + 642050, 642019 + 642041, 642047 + 642024, 642011 + 642044) past Ely Dock Junction, 6Z60 1042 from York Thrall Europa (Holgate Works) to Stowmarket D.G.L, in preparation for this years Autumn RHTT season.

PS:
Shot @ my apartment terrace.
It was shot wide open with my Opteka 12mm f/2.8 lens.
I liked the image for the contrast & distortions in the corners , which kind of creates a blurred vision when some one approaches light from darkness.
