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.

Ist ein Raubtier in der Nähe, machen die flinken Impalas einen Showsprung. Dabei springen sie wild um sich, sodass der Gegner die Orientierung verliert.
Bis zu 2,5 Meter hoch, bis zu vier Meter zur Seite oder
auf der Stelle um die eigene Achse.
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.
I was asked to shoot the annual Firefall in Yosemite NP and at first I reached for a crucifix 😊 But after thinking about it and a planned extended road trip with my good friend Nolan Nitschke. Now it sounded like a great time. I’ve always wanted to see the Firefall in person but I wasn’t drooling at the mouth to get the shot which also meant battling the crowds. Don’t get me wrong, there are some wonderful images that have been taken over the years and are quite inspirational. I just wasn’t possessed to get that shot or really any other shot quite frankly. On this day we got into position to shoot it and right before the alpenglow on Horsetail Fall, the clouds snuffed the light. Of course waiting for that light there was excellent light leading up to the time it was to glow. I’m actually very happy with this image and not disappointed at all. I eventually seen and photographed the Firefall do it’s thing days later but this might be my favorite image from the event.
I wanted to give a shout-out to Michael Ambrose for having us tail along the route to get in this position. It was also great to finally meet him and his wife Kristin. The hike was a grind but so well worth it. Hope you enjoy the image.
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 :)
While shooting the galactic core, setting behind the glacial erratic at Lassen Volcanic NP (flic.kr/p/DCd1Rb), I was looking the other way and saw winter Milky Way rising, while the headlights of climbers were lighting up the side of Mt. Lassen.
I couldn't resist turning my camera around and capturing the scene. Only when checking the images on my screen, I noticed the crazy green airglow, contrasting so beautifully with the deep red Heart and Soul Nebula of Cassiopeia. Also visible, in the top right corner, is Andromeda Galaxy, our galactic neighbor.

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.
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
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."
