"Why are some of the badlands mounds yellow?
As the water level dropped and the sea floor became land, the Pierre Shale (the bottommost rock layer of the Badlands) crumbled into soil and created the Yellow Mounds Formation, so called because of its mustard-like color."
Hope everyone's having a great day/night, thanks for visiting!

Long before Sweden was a nation and a Christian country, great men reigned from the area today known as Old Uppsala (Gamla Uppsala) which was both a political and religious centre. And here you can find the Royal mounds (Kungshögarna or just Gamla Uppsala högar, Old Uppsala mounds). Those buried here, in the 5th and 6th centuries, are not known. Folklore told that it was the gods Thor, Oden and Frey, and later historians guessed it was the kings of Swedes, Aun, Adil and Egil. But the truth is we just don't know.
This large 25 foot high geothermal wonder is one of my favorites at Mammoth Hot Springs. Easy to see how it got it's name. It can be found on the Upper Terrace Drive.
Thanks for taking a look!
Have a wonderful week!
children go up with sledges, the sun appears briefly behind frosty trees.../ Tumbas vikingas, unos chicos suben con sus trineos, de a momentos asoma un sol lejano tras los árboles escarchados…/ Kungahögar i Gamla Uppsala, några barn går upp för att åka pulka, stundvis tittar solen fram bakom frostiga träd...
A rare snowstorm covered Joshua Tree National Park. It was a beautiful sight to see the Joshua Trees draped in snow and icicles.
Wishing all my Flickr friends around the world a Joyous Holiday Season.

As the sun sets on a pleasant January evening, the Chicago-bound Southwest Chief races across the desert at Wagon Mound, New Mexico.
The ruins of Caisteal Maol overlook the harbour at Kyleakin at the western end of Loch Alsh. The harbour was once busy with ferries from Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland but the opening of the Skye Bridge in 1995 changed things dramatically and the now by-passed village is a quieter place altogether, except when the tour buses use it as a stop-off point! It's definitely worth a look since the views across to the mainland are pretty special.
AMTK 194 blows by MP 722 with the eastbound Chief. In my opinion, this is one of those locations where the shot just doesn't get old, even though it is extremely popular. It's just perfect.
A very interesting place to have a wander around to learn more about Korean history. Gyeongju is a city of ancient royal burial mounds.
Lots of neat ones all over the place. Neat colors and liked the moody tones here from the approaching storm.
Rio Grande EMD SD40T-2 Nos. 5390, 5377 and 5401 power Union Pacific’s westbound LJP45 dirt train just east of Mounds, Utah, on the Sunnyside Branch on May 22, 2002.
3 inches of rain fell the night before and several more inches over the previous weekend caused some water issues near Mound Street in the Village of East Davenport. That's a standard construction zone barrel barely sticking out of the water on the left!

Have a happy Sunday !
After surviving for decades after their predecessors due to a whole host of circumstances, the Raton semaphores are likely on their final life. The inevitability of PTC will likely kill the remaining within a year, but for the time being they still rise and fall mechanically for the two daily trains on the line: Amtrak 3 and 4. Here, the northbound Chief passes one of the more photographed pairs just north of Wagon Mound.
Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5390, 5349, and 5371 pull the “Dirt Train” up the Sunnyside Sub along Grassy Trail Creek the morning of Oct. 16, 2004. The Helper-based LJP45 became the last bastion of pure D&RGW tunnel motors on the Union Pacific Railroad.
While photographing the sunrise to the east in the Yellow Mounds of the Badlands, I could absolutely sense something was going on in the sky to the west. Sure enough, I turned around and scampered for a composition I liked. The sky was almost the same color as the pink/purple lines of the upper strata in the mounds.
A trio (of four) Qantas specials in the morning; the fourth was VH-XZP which I didn't get a frame of, but for the sake of this post, I wished I did... Oh well, we move on...
In order of appearance, With ZND (QF8) on BRAVO from Dallas-Fort Worth, ZNJ (QF74) on 34L from San Francisco (SFO/KSFO) and XZJ (QF189) being towed to the international Terminal at Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY)
Swinging through the curves coming into Mounds, Utah, is Union Pacific’s LJP45 local nearing the approach signal for the junction with the main line a trip back Helper on February 5, 2004. Rio Grande SD40T-2 Tunnel Motor No. 5390 leads the way, with Engineer Mel Baughman at the throttle and Steve McFarland in the conductor’s seat.
After Photographing the Milky Way the previous night, I forced myself to get out for the sunrise. I was so happy I did, as the colors of the sky were spectacular.
a small dry creek bed cuts through a section of the park known as Yellow Mounds, a group of hills known for their array of colors. Rolling mounds of reds, yellows and browns mixed with the occasional green vegetation makes this place especially photogenic.
With the famous "Wagon Mound" landmark looming in the distance, Amtrak Train No. 4 whizzes by the intermediate semaphores between E Wagon Mound and W Levy, New Mexico, on June 30, 2024. Units 207, 164 and 14 power the 8-car train–––photo by Joe McMillan, 5:17 p.m.
Headed north today looking for color. We were a bit disappointed, but eventually found a bit in Blue Mounds State Park in Wisconsin.
