Wanderung im Nationaal Park De Meinweg bei Roermond, gelegen zwischen Herkenbosch (NL) und Niederkrüchten auf deutscher Seite.

Today is the 108th birthday of the National Park Service, so I went back to the archives and found a couple of CL shots that I had not posted before. Top shot was right as the morning clouds were parting. Below is a sunset view. It is truly a gem of a national park! HSS!
Little Falls switcher and Camp Ripley/Morris Branch units. A quarter of a second K25 is such a long time when holding breath and holding still. Old revolving gumball beacons hard to time too.Slightly re-tweaked post.
Certainly not convenient, but better than walking the long way or paying a motorcyclist.

Sicher nicht bequem, aber besser als den weiten Weg zu laufen oder einen Motoradfahrer zu bezahlen.
If there is a predator in the vicinity, the nimble impalas make a show jump. They all jump wildly so that the opponent loses orientation.
Up to 2.5 meters high, up to four meters to the side or
on the spot around their own axis.

Ist ein Raubtier in der Nähe, machen die flinken Impalas einen Showsprung. Dabei springen sie wild um sich, sodass der Gegner die Orientierung verliert.

auf der Stelle um die eigene Achse.

On our roadtrip last autumn
This was only days before it snowed and this was covered for winter
I made this Photo on our last USA-Trip. We visited Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Grand Teton NP and the Yellowstone. Enjoy my photos coming next Days/Weeks!

Wir sind wieder gut gelandet und langsam kann das Sichten und Bearbeiten der Fotos beginnen. Die nächsten Tage und Wochen werde ich nach und nach einige der entstandenen Fotos posten. Viel Vergnügen :)
Northern Pacific SD45 No. 3617 looks great in shiny paint at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, Minnesota, on June 10, 2016. Built in 1967, the locomotive became Burlington Northern No. 6417 with the merger, before going to Wisconsin Central with the same number (later renumbered 6495 and 7495), finally retired by Canadian National in 2007.
I was not enamoured with Olympic NP although, had I had a month, I could easily have fallen in love with the Olympic peninsula.
In rather mundane terms, the peninsular as been defined in this way: "The Olympic Peninsula is a large arm of land in western Washington that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle, and contains Olympic National Park. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal. Cape Alava, the westernmost point in the contiguous United States, and Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point, are on the peninsula. Comprising about 3,600 square miles (9,300 km), the Olympic Peninsula contained many of the last unexplored places in the contiguous United States. It remained largely unmapped until Arthur Dodwell and Theodore Rixon mapped most of its topography and timber resources between 1898 and 1900. This was of course well over a century after Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea explored what was to be The Oregon Trail, Oregon, Idaho, and the Pacific coast north of California.
Anyway, it's diverse. There are more rivers running through it than be imagined. In our time there, it turns out I took more shots of the rainforest (Hoh) than the any other "attractions," save the Pacific coast.
It wasn't until I downloaded the card that I realized how many vignettes like this that I took. Tree stumps, moss hanging from trees, mushrooms, and flowers are the staple of the rainforest. The absolute peace and quiet was amazing, and we saw not one other human. So, it has that going for it, too.
I have been to Zion a couple of years back from Vegas. This time, I drove to Zion from Bryce through UT-9. It's an absolutely gorgeous scenic route. After entering Zion NP, the roads goes through a few tunnels and descends about 2000 ft along many hairpin turns. This is at the bottom of the valley within the park on UT-9. The water is from Pine creek, which will soar in spring. Could not see any birds but here's a birds eye (instead of fisheye) view :) under the bridge looking at "East Temple."
Half Dome, Yosemite NP
Despite looking under many rocks and searching behind waterfalls, I was unable to find the #epsteinfiles. My guess is @realdonaldtrump (#canks ) had bears eat them. I wish I was still climbing up these rocks, but instead, I'm here worrying about the US military following #unlawfulorders to use US cities as "training areas" for future use of force.
For my American friends:
#wakeupamerica because we are literally watching our rights being striped away before our eyes. While this might not currently be affecting the party you support, you'd be a fool to think a weaponized government won't think twice about silencing you when it serves them.
Show up in numbers, even if it feels uncomfortable, and #resist authoritarianism while you still have a voice.

A very cold (-19) morning in Bryce Canyon NP. I was glad when the sun came out at 7:30 that it warmth up my face. Sometimes shooting in the winter is no fun at all.
Enjoy...

A crew of dedicated workers led by Bob Renz and Bob Puelston got the "Como Park" steam engine (2156) on its drivers and front truck so it could move over to the bay with the 2153 and 328. The new "Steam Bay" will be dedicated and on display on February 8th 2025
