A breathtaking road stretches through the rugged landscapes of Arizona and Utah, flanked by towering red rock formations and majestic mountains. The sun casts a golden hue over the sandstone cliffs, highlighting their layered history—millions of years of geological evolution shaped by wind and water. This iconic route has long been a passage for travelers, from Native American tribes who first inhabited the land to pioneers and modern explorers seeking the untamed beauty of the American Southwest. The vast open sky, the winding asphalt cutting through the desert, and the towering mesas on either side create a scene both timeless and awe-inspiring, embodying the spirit of the Wild West.
. . . This male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is flashing his colorful neck at me, but really he is showing off for other Hummingbirds in the area. He chased several other females and younger birds away from the feeder as I watched.
This time of year the birds hit the feeders hard because in a few weeks they will have a thousand mile migration ahead of them.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
He has the prettiest and longest eye lashes for a 4 month old. His mom's definitely jealous. In this photo his eyes apear to be turning a bit green. They normally look like a slate blue color.

View to Cape Hawke and Booti Booti National Park.
The cape was named by Captain Cook when he passed it on his Endeavour voyage on 11 May 1770, honoring Edward Hawke who was First Lord of the Admiralty.

A loaded QNSL Wabush train makes the final mile of its journey before branching off on SFPPN's trackage and crew.
One of the things I wanted to see in our road trip is Lund where Mile 0 of Highway 101 starts/ends.
“Mile 0” of Highway 101 is located at Lund BC, at the north end of the Pacific Coastal Route (see route below) on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Lund has the initial/final leg of the Pacific Coastal Highway, one of the longest highways in the world, which ends in Chile, approximately 15,202km south.
Best viewed large.
Well week 3 brings us more snow. This time it is sticking around with some cold temps. Miles even has a good profile in the snow.
Have a great week everyone!
Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.

While sun has yet to set, time 2121, the Chugach mountains have blocked the direct sun but still provided pleasing light in which to take this photo. 12,000 HP, 10,000 Tons, 8,050' will arrive in Anchorage in about 16 miles.
Magical Palm Trees in Paradise - Coastal State Road A1A - 11/25/22
My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!

I had been wanted this shot for years since the spot looks like "Thors Well" during super high tide. But I had been skunked for several times due to the tide was not right or lights were in different direction. I was quite happy when all conditions were right in this Valentines sunrise. Have a nice weekend!
Katie contemplates the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Here, we have yet to make the summit, and then it's 4.5 miles back down to the trailhead, hopefully before dark.
Thank you for visiting!
Canadian Pacific Train 142-24 approaches Mile Post 35 on the Moosehead Subdivision, west of Greenville Jct, ME. This part of the subdivision follows the south shore of Moosehead Lake from Greenville to Moosehead.
At the time CP was down to just a handful of trains on the Moosehead per week, with just mixed freight. On this day 142 just had less than 30 cars.

Andy, my friend and climbing partner, standing by the large summit cairn at the top of Cairn Gorm in the Scottish Highlands. In the distance far below is the blue water of Loch Morlich, and beyond that the highlands town of Aviemore.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
