About the Galloping Goose Regional Trail in Colwood.
The Galloping Goose Regional Trail (GGT) is a picturesque multi-use trail that runs through the heart of Colwood as it follows the old railway line on its 55km journey from Victoria to Sooke.
The trail, which is owned and maintained by the Capital Regional District, attracts thousands of users every day. From March 1, 2024 to March 1, 2025 a total of 270,077 pedestrians and cyclists have passed the automated counter on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail near Wale Road.
The new Colwood Gateway Bridge will allow for a safe, seamless connection that encourages more residents and visitors to travel in and around Colwood on foot or by bike, supporting the City's goals for improved health and well being, easing traffic congestion, improving air quality, and reducing our climate impact.
I did a run along the Bob Jones Trail near Avila Beach on a foggy morning. My first time on this path and discovered this basketball hoop with a natural backdrop.
“This is where I went and this is what I saw.”
Thursday morning I drove the Benz to Langford BC and walked a Jordie Lunn Bike Park Trail.
It was early so I pretty much had the place to myself.
Afterward, I put the drone up over Westhills Housing Development.

Hastings Riverwalk
Another scenic section of the Paul Henry
Thornapple Trail, the 2.4-mile Hastings Riverwalk was completed in 2015 from the former
railbed on Industrial Park Drive to a circular
loop at Bliss Riverfront Park. The paved multiuse trail is part of a proposed network of paths
and nature trails currently under development
along the Thornapple River by the city of Hastings. Hastings is a popular destination for paddlesports and home of the world-famous Barry–
Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Race in the spring.
You’ll find bicycle and kayak rentals, lodging
and several good places to eat in Hastings.
When completed, Galloping Goose Trail users will no longer have to take a circuitous route along the road and cross the highway to move between the the 13km Marker and 14km Marker.
The 1.2km project connects the E&N Regional Trail to the downtown core. It includes off-street multi-use pathways and protected bike lanes along Kimta Road. There will also be new pedestrian and bike crossings, accessibility upgrades, landscaping, and new lighting and pathway resurfacing on the multi-use path between Tyee Road and the Johnson Street Bridge.

The TAB Building in Albion was designed by the now-retired Queensland architect Geoffrey Pie in conjunction with Hall Phillips and Wilson Architects (now Phillips Smith Conwell Architects). It was a government funded project during the mid-1970s.
Pie received the Robin Boyd Award for residential architect for his own home in 1986 and was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2014.
The TAB Building was the recipient of the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture from the Queensland chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects in 2007. In its award citation, the jury praised the building for having “weathered generations of reaction to, and subsequent re-embracing of, the principles of functional modernism.”
The institute, led by then-chapter president Richard Kirk, lodged an application with the Queensland government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection to have the building placed on the State Heritage Register in September 2015. The bid was rebuffed the following year.
“The [building] is a fine surviving example of Late Twentieth Century Brutalist architecture, which is located on the city fringe of Brisbane,” reads the institute’s application.
“This ten storey commercial building has enjoyed a certain degree of public notoriety as a local landmark for Albion since its construction. Although the building is only around forty metres in height, its comparative scale against the late-nineteenth or early twentieth century commercial architecture of the adjacent Albion centre generates a considerable visual presence for the (former) TAB Building in this locality.”
As the tallest building on an arterial road, the building was “a solitary, prominent, forward scout for modern urban architecture in the middle ring suburbs.”
Although heritage protection for the Albion TAB Building was rejected, the company behind the Hudson Common project intend to repurpose the existing structure in their multiuse precinct of residential, commercial, and corporate.

The Miniature Manned Multiuse Manipulator Manoeuvring Machinery Moon Module or MMMMMMMM was possibly named after a Classic Spaceman had just finished a particularly satisfying portion of tea & cake: almost certainly Battenberg. It was mainly used for repairing space stations in orbit around the Moon and for loading and unloading cargo ships in deep space.
Originally, these craft were kept in small, individual hangars but the pod bay doors proved to be difficult to open and so they were eventually abandoned.

Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990, to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the U.S. state of Oregon. The monument was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and includes 54,822 acres (86 sq mi; 222 km2) of lakes, lava flows, and geologic features in central Oregon.
From 1964 to 1966, the volcano was used for training Apollo astronauts.
Description
Newberry National Volcanic Monument consists of four primary visitor destinations: Lava Butte, Lava River Cave, Lava Cast Forest, and Newberry Caldera.
The highest point within the monument is the summit of Paulina Peak at 7,985 ft (2,434 m), with views of the Oregon Cascades and the high desert. Paulina Peak may be accessed by road during the summer months, and as the road is both steep and rough, with hairpin turns towards the summit, trailers or long vehicles are discouraged. The summit area of Newberry Volcano holds two alpine lakes full of trout, East Lake and Paulina Lake.
The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres (280 ha). The black, shiny obsidian field is easily accessible from good roads within the caldera, or a trail that traverses the flow.
Lava Cast Forest is roughly 25 miles (40 km) south of Bend, accessible via a 9-mile (14 km) gravel road from U.S. Highway 97. Lava Cast Forest contains a 6,000-year-old lava flow that created molds of ancient trees.
Lava Butte is roughly 11 miles (18 km) south of Bend, Oregon.[Lava Butte is a cinder cone volcano that rises 500 feet (150 m) above the Lava Lands Visitor Center. It can be accessed by either vehicle or hiking up a paved road. Interpretive signs, views of the surrounding lava flow and mountains, and an active fire lookout are found on top.
Lava River Cave is roughly 13 miles (21 km) south of Bend. Lava River Cave is open to visitors from May through September. Lava River Cave is the largest uncollapsed lava tube in Oregon, and may be explored by lantern. Temperatures in the cave average 42 °F (6 °C). White-nose syndrome has not yet affected resident bats in the cave.
Newberry Caldera
Newberry Caldera is roughly 37 miles (60 km) from Bend and 19 miles (31 km) from La Pine. Newberry Caldera is the largest developed area within the national monument. The caldera was formed when a magma chamber collapsed. Over time the caldera filled up with water that created two lakes, Paulina Lake and East Lake. Newberry Caldera has many natural tourism opportunities. Visitors have access to campgrounds, trails, water recreation, lodging, viewpoints, and interpretive guides with Forest Service staff. Newberry Caldera has medium use most of the year with some high usage during peak times of the year.
There are twelve trails within Newberry Caldera ranging from 0.25 miles to 21 miles. These trails offer a variety of uses from hiking only to multiuse with hiking, biking, and horse allowed. Along the trails you can find access to fishing, viewpoints, interpretive signs, picnic areas, and even hot springs. There are seven boat launches for water recreationists, (the lakes do restrict boats to 10 miles per hour). The Caldera also offers nine campgrounds accommodating both tent and RV camper. Newberry Caldera also offers a variety of winter activates such as snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and rooms for rent at the resorts.'

Newberry National Volcanic Monument ist ein Naturschutzgebiet vom Typ eines National Monuments im US-Bundesstaat Oregon. Es umfasst den Newberry-Vulkan, einen der flächenmäßig größten Schildvulkane in der Kaskadenkette, und einen etwa 40 km langen Lavafluss nach Nordwesten. Das über 224 Quadratkilometer große Schutzgebiet wurde im November 1990 vom US-Kongress ausgewiesen und wird vom US Forest Service verwaltet. Es liegt vollständig innerhalb des Deschutes National Forest, einem Nationalforst.
Vulkan und Schutzgebiet sind nach John Strong Newberry (1822–1892) benannt, einem Wissenschaftler, der von 1857 bis 1858 eine Expedition der US-Armee begleitete, die mögliche Eisenbahnstrecken vermessen sollte. Newberry war maßgeblich an der Erforschung der Geologie und Botanik Oregons beteiligt.
Geographie
Der Newberry-Vulkan liegt im Deschutes County etwa 45 km südlich von Bend. Er ist mit rund 40 km Durchmesser ein besonders großer Schildvulkan. Wie alle Schildvulkane erhebt er sich relativ flach aus der Umgebung. Der höchste Punkt Paulina Peak mit 2434 m liegt etwa 1000 m über dem Deschutes River westlich des Berges.
Mittelpunkt des Vulkans ist die Caldera mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 6,5 km. In ihr liegen die beiden Seen Paulina Lake und East Lake, der jüngste Lavafluss Big Obsidian Flow und ein kleiner Schlackenkegel namens Central Pumice Cone. Der auf 1935 m Höhe liegende, bis zu 76 Meter tiefe Paulina Lake ist 615 Hektar groß, der East Lake ist kleiner. Beide Seen werden nur durch Regenwasser, Schmelzwasser und heiße vulkanische Quellen gespeist. Abfluss der Seen ist der Paulina Creek, der durch eine Schlucht auf der Westseite aus der Caldera fließt. Bis auf diese Schlucht ist die Caldera von einem 200 bis 300 Meter hohen Kraterrand umgeben. Der Paulina Peak bildet einen Teil des Randes. Über die gesamte Fläche des Vulkans sind rund 400 kleine Schlackenkegel verteilt. Geologen vermuten, dass die Caldera durch den Einsturz eines Vulkans von etwa 2700 Meter Höhe und etwa 40 Kilometer Durchmesser vor etwa 500.000 Jahren entstanden ist. Weite Teile der Umgebung des Newberry Craters wurden durch Lavaströme bedeckt, die bis zu 110 Kilometer weit geflossen sind. In einem in nordwestlicher Richtung verlaufenden Lavaflusses liegt der Lava Cast Forest, wo Abdrücke von Baumstämmen in der erkalteten Lava erhalten sind. In der Nähe liegen der Lava Butte, ein 1528 m hohen Vulkankegel, der sich über 150 Meter über der Umgebung erhebt, und mehrere Lavaröhren. Die 13 km südlich von Bend am Highway 97 gelegene Lava River Cave ist eine solche Lavaröhre, die über 1,8 km lang, bis zu 15 m breit und bis 18 m hoch ist. Durch die Lavaflüsse wurde auch der Deschutes River zeitweilig aufgestaut; noch heute ist die Schwelle als die etwa 30 m hohen Benham Falls genannten Wasserfälle erhalten.
Die ältesten Gesteine des Vulkans sind nur rund 700.000 Jahre alt. In den letzten 10.000 Jahren gab es im Krater etwa 25 Ausbrüche, der Lavafluss Big Obsidian Flow stammt etwa aus dem Jahr 650 und stellt die jüngste vulkanische Aktivität im zentralen Oregon dar. Der Vulkan ist nicht erloschen, in der Zukunft sind sowohl Lavaflüsse wie Eruptionen zu erwarten.
Geschichte
Ausgrabungen am Paulina Lake haben ergeben, dass Paläoindianer schon vor 10.000 Jahren die Caldera aufgesucht haben. Der East Lake Obsidian Flow und der Big Obsidian Flow lieferten für die Indianer wertvollen Obsidian, den sie für Steinwerkzeuge wie Schaber und Klingen verwendeten. Der Newberry Crater gehört seit 1908 zum Deschutes National Forest. Im November 1990 wurde der Krater zum National Monument erklärt. Das Gelände der 1889 entdeckten Lava River Cave wurde 1926 dem Staat Oregon geschenkt, der sie zum State Park erklärte. 1981 tauschte Oregon den Park gegen andere Gebiete des US Forest Service.
Touristische Anlagen
Das Hauptbesucherzentrum des National Monument, das Lava Lands Visitor Center liegt südlich von Bend am Highway 97 und informiert über Geologie, Ökologie und Kulturgeschichte. Vom Besucherzentrum führt auch ein Weg auf den Lava Butte, von dessen Gipfel sich ein weiter Ausblick sowie ein Blick in den bis zu 60 m tiefen Krater bietet. Das Lava Lands Visitor Center ist von Mai bis Oktober geöffnet. Ein zweites, kleineres Besucherzentrum am Paulina Lake ist nur im Sommer geöffnet.
Die Lava River Cave liegt am Highway 97 südlich von Bend. Der Highway 97 überquert die Höhle, die im Sommer zu besichtigen ist.
Seit 1912 wurden in den beiden Seen der Caldera Fische eingesetzt, vorwiegend Regenbogenforellen und Rotlachs. Daher ist der Angelsport die wichtigste touristische Aktivität im Gebiet. An beiden Seen gibt es je ein rustikales Hotel mit Einrichtungen für Angler; insgesamt sieben Campingplätze sind über das ganze Schutzgebiet verteilt. Durch das Schutzgebiet führt der über 33 Kilometer lange Crater Rim Trail und zahlreiche andere Wege mit einer Gesamtlänge von insgesamt 96 Kilometer.

Todd Creek Trestle restoration completed
Extensive repair work has been completed on the historic Todd Creek Trestle along the Galloping Goose Regional Trail near Sooke Potholes Regional Park.
The $1.7-million restoration included replacing timbers, foundation, support posts, stringers, braces, deck planks and guard rails. Work began in October 2019 by the Capital Regional District.
The Todd Creek trestle was built in 1917 as part of the Canadian National Railway. It was decommissioned as a rail line in 1984.
The restoration work adds 35 to 50 years to the life span of the structure.
The Todd Creek trestle is 113 metres long and rises 23 metres above the creek bed.
The trestle remained closed for one year while construction activities were underway. It is now open to the public.

I finished off my New Years Day birding efforts on these Northern Shovelers at my local regional park. There were LOTS of them, even compared to a couple of weeks ago, but they are really shy and tend to head for the other side of the pond, no matter how far away I think I am (and not to mention, it IS a multiuse park and this was a holiday). This is a nice collection of males and females. According to Audubon, the Shoveler is related to Blue-winged and Cinnamon teals and, like the teal, the males wear eclipse plumage till February.
Hudson Yards is a neighborhood on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan, bounded roughly by 30th Street in the south, 41st Street in the north, the West Side Highway in the west, and Eight Avenue in the east. The area is the site of a large-scale redevelopment program that is being planned, funded and constructed under a set of agreements among the State of New York, City of New York, and Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), with the aim of expanding the Midtown Manhattan business district westward to the Hudson River.
The largest of the projects made possible by the rezoning is the 28-acre (11 ha) multiuse Hudson Yards real estate development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, which is being built over the West Side Rail Yard. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards, and is projected to be completed by 2024. According to its master plan, created by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the Hudson Yards development would include 16 skyscrapers to be constructed in two phases. Architects including Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Thomas Heatherwick, Roche-Dinkeloo, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro contributed designs for individual structures. Major office tenants include or will include fashion company Tapestry, gym chain Equinox Fitness, and financial company BlackRock.

Barclays Center is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Brooklyn, New York. It sits partly on a platform over the Metropolitan Transportation Authority–owned Vanderbilt Yards rail yard at Atlantic Avenue. It is part of a proposed $4.9 billion sports arena, business and residential complex known as the Atlantic Yards.
Externally, the arena's basic shape is that of three articulated bands, and features a glass curtain wall covered by a "latticework" made up of 12,000 preweathered steel panels, which are meant to evoke the image of Brooklyn's brownstones. An 117-by-56-foot "Oculus" extends over a section of the plaza outside of the main arena entrance, and contains an irregularly-shaped display screen that loops around on the inside of the structure.
SHoP's involvement with Atlantic Yards began in July 2009 when FCRC asked the firm to cloak a utilitarian scheme for the arena by sports-facilities specialist Ellerbe Becket. SHoP relied heavily on digital tools for the skin's design and fabrication, first using the software Rhinoceros to establish the surface geometry and then CATIA to further develop the form. Working with the firm's affiliate, SHoP Construction, the architects virtually “unfolded” the 12,000 individual panels and exported them to another program that “nested,” or placed, them on 59¼-inch-wide, 3/16-inch-thick steel sheets in a way that would optimize yield.
To produce the patina, the fabricator subjected the CNC-cut and machine-bent panels to a simulated weathering process by misting them with water. The panels were suspended from a conveyor belt, and each was exposed to 12 to 16 wetting-and-drying cycles per day for three and a half months.
The result is a rich coating of rust—one that makes the arena seem surprisingly in sync with the borough's industrial heritage, as though it could already be 100 years old. But even if Barclays feels as though it belongs on its site, like an architectural relic, it can't be declared a civic triumph just yet, since it is only the first component of the much larger project now expected to take 25 years to realize. Not until a few of the planned 14 residential towers are built, including some of the promised 2,250 units of affordable rental housing, and at least a few of the anticipated eight acres of public space are completed, will anyone be able to determine if Atlantic Yards, with the arena as its linchpin, will add to or detract from the streetscape of Brooklyn.

A fantastic piece of geography. The old principal military base of the west coast, dating to Spanish settlement in the 18th century. Today a mixed use redevelopment, largely National Park Service, museums, and related nonprofit uses, along with residences. Many museums and public activities are offered in a grand landscape.

Our brief trip around The El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve around San Mateo County. The preserve is characterized by dense second-growth redwood and mixed evergreen forests. I was with my cuzz at the time. It's been a while since we've done a hiking trip, even a short one. Certainly, this is a nice place to escape the busy, fast-paced life! We ended our day with a nice early dinner at Black Bear Diner along the El Camino Real around Sunnyvale, CA. ‘Til next time, safe travels! (Outing taken place Monday, May 25, 2026)
*A bit about this preserve: More than 34 miles of multiuse trail are available for exploration at the 2,908-acre El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve. While this preserve is extremely popular with bicyclists, it also has lots of hearty hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Visitors will find creekside trails through mixed evergreen and redwood forests, enjoy ocean views, admire rare sandstone formations and experience a sense of remoteness. Visitors to this preserve can see unique sandstone formations called tafoni. Cave-like indentations and delicate honeycomb structures are formed in the sandstone by just the right combination of weather and atmospheric conditions. Numerous logging roads are also still evident, most of which are now trails. With a little help, nature has incredible healing powers: the deep canyons have regenerated dense stands of second-growth redwoods. While most of the giant old-growth redwoods were logged, a few awe-inspiring giants remain to be seen (like the Methuselah Tree). With 36 miles of trails, there's plenty to explore!

Silo No. 5 looms over the Old Port of Montreal. The steel sides of the grain elevators' oldest part are mottled with rust, cracks have appeared in some of the concrete interiors and many windows in the upper storeys are missing.
In its heyday, Silo No. 5 was an ultra-modern facility for grain storage and transfer. Since it closed in 1994, the main thing produced here has been talk. Many projects have been discussed, including its conversion into a museum, a centre for network servers, a hotel, a condominium tower and various multiuse schemes.
One multiuse proposal included a new home for the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, which called the silo "a site of undeniable strategic interest." Nothing happened, with that project or any other.
There are other disused silos in Montreal, though none as large or conspicuous as Silo No. 5, which stands on Pointe-du-Moulin in the midst of Quebec's biggest tourist attraction. It's the cathedral among the city's grain elevators, just as it may be the industrial equivalent of Quebec's many grand disused churches, which are equally difficult to adapt.
No. 5 is owned Canada Lands Co. (CLC - a federal Crown corporation) and its subsidiary, the Old Port of Montreal Corp.

Hudson Yards is a neighborhood on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan, bounded roughly by 30th Street in the south, 43rd Street in the north, the West Side Highway in the west, and Eighth Avenue in the east. The area is the site of a large-scale redevelopment program that is being planned, funded, and constructed under a set of agreements among the State of New York, City of New York, and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), with the aim of expanding the Midtown Manhattan business district westward to the Hudson River. The program includes a major rezoning of the Far West Side, an extension of the New York City Subway's 7 and trains to a new subway station at 34th Street and 11th Avenue, a renovation and expansion of the Javits Center, and a financing plan to fund the various components. The various components are being planned by New York City Department of City Planning and New York City Economic Development Corporation.
The largest of the projects made possible by the rezoning is the 28-acre (11 ha) multiuse Hudson Yards real estate development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, which is being built over the West Side Rail Yard. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards, and is projected to be completed by 2024.

Architects including Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Thomas Heatherwick, Roche-Dinkeloo, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro contributed designs for individual structures. Major office tenants include or will include fashion company Tapestry, gym chain Equinox Fitness, and financial company BlackRock.
The area also includes other redevelopment projects. One such project is Manhattan West, developed by Brookfield Property Partners over the rail yard west of Ninth Avenue between 31st and 33rd streets. Other structures being developed in the Hudson Yards Zoning District include 3 Hudson Boulevard and the Spiral. The special district also includes Pennsylvania Station, the subject of a major overhaul.
Hudson Yards is part of Manhattan Community District 4 and its primary ZIP Codes are 10001 and 10018.[1] It is patrolled by the 10th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

I'm not sure why the pull-off is called an overlook, since Albright View Overlook is at 6,500 feet, and Albright Peak (a mere 5.5 miles away) is 10,552 feet. So, you may not be looking up to see the peak, but you're certainly not looking down to see it.

From Wikipedia:
"The Greenway lies in a former Milwaukee Road railroad corridor along 29th Street."
And some people want to extend the light rail here, which is a cause for concern for bicyclists and other trail users.
