Light falls onto the backside of El Capitan on a cold February afternoon. Yosemite Valley is a glacial valley in Yosemite National Park in the western Sierra Nevada mountains of Central California. The valley is about 7.5 miles (12 km) long and approximately 3000-3500 feet deep, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome and El Capitan, and densely forested with pines. The valley is drained by the Merced River, and a multitude of streams and waterfalls flow into it, including Tenaya, Illilouette, Yosemite and Bridalveil Creeks. Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in North America, and is a big attraction especially in the spring when the water flow is at its peak. The valley is renowned for its natural environment, and is regarded as the centerpiece of Yosemite National Park, attracting visitors from around the world.

It's not THAT hot near the Southern California coast where I live, but I've been spending a LOT of time down at the pool lately. As I age here in glorious retirement (and healing from my last fall onto a concrete parking lot last month) I'm not out and about taking photos. I'm relaxing. Who knows, there might be a trip upcoming before the next real "adventure" in Central Europe come September. But I'm satisfied, it seems, for once, to stay home. (and we have a real nice pool)
Lots of folks are suffering from extreme heat this summer. I understand Sunday was the hottest day on record ever! So I went through my massive archives of photos I've never really looked at closely or processed and came up with this neat winter view of the Mayne Wonderland Cash Store in the really small town of Torrey, Utah, where I stayed the first night of my Winter Trip to Utah National Parks in February of 2023.
I've seen snow, but until that trip, I really don't have much recollection of winters in the northwest. (My parents moved from Idaho to Los Angeles when I was 3 years old) There were snow flurries overnight and I used a snow scraper for the first time ever on my windshield the next morning before going off to visit Capitol Reef National Park.
So if you're boiling this week, try to concentrate on the cool. Hopefully this photo will help. (It won't but, it's a neat photo.) The Torrey canal runs alongside the highway (State 24) and while it wasn't frozen, there were snowbanks along the sides.
Disney represented Team USA tonight and put on such an amazing show! We were at Spanish Banks....the estimated crowns of 500,000 spilled onto the cities southern most beaches....for the first time, traffic was a nightmare getting home.
A slightly different perspective onto the famous Langkofel Group, a massif in the Dolomites of the Italian Alps. It is one of the many hiking routes of the 56 square km of the Seiser Alm. I really liked this perspective, because the goal is clearly in sight.
Coaxed it onto my fingers for a few quick shots to show its size, them put it back in the sunflowers. I know many consider them garden pests, but I don't mind them. And, if they aren't quick, they become wren food... Andover, NJ
KiraStyle // COMPLETE No. 75
I step onto the scene in KiraStyle COMPLETE No. 75, an outfit that fuses high-fashion streetwear with effortless edge. Designed for those who move through the world with confidence, this set delivers a perfect balance of bold structure and relaxed silhouette. Itโs not just clothingโitโs a statement.
the look:
The cropped sports topโsleek, fitted, and minimalโpairs effortlessly with high-waisted, cinched cargo pants that are equal parts comfortable and iconic. Adjustable suspender straps drape from the waist, adding a touch of urban rebellion, while the relaxed jogger-style fit ensures movement without restriction. This is fashion that adapts to you, whether you're commanding the streets or lounging in effortless luxury.
inspiration & influence:
Streetwear meets heritage: The oversized pants and cropped fit take cues from โ90s hip-hop fashion, where baggy silhouettes dominated the underground scene. The structured waist and harness detailing? Thatโs pure tactical high-fashion, drawing influence from utilitarian military wear. Sporty, bold, and modernโthis outfit is built for trendsetters who refuse to conform.

Early yesterday morning, I walked onto the South Pennines and within 15 minutes of leaving home, I had seen (and in some cases heard) Red Grouse, Grey Partridge, Pheasant, Golden Plover, drumming Snipe, a Brown Hare and the Meadow Pipit pictured here.
These wonderful sights and sounds couldn't fail to lift the spirits but how much do we really value them? How many of these species do you think we totally protect under the law? The answer is one, the Meadow Pipit.
Red Grouse (amber listed), Grey Partridge (red listed) and Pheasant (not listed as it is not native to the UK) are all game birds and are only protected during the close season - Game Act 1831.
Golden Plover (green listed) and Common Snipe (amber listed) can also be shot and are only protected during a close season. By the way, this also applies to Woodcock and Capercaillie (both red listed) and many of our ducks, including the Pintail (amber listed) - The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Brown Hares, which, because of their decline, have their own Species Action Plan under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, have no protection at all and can be shot throughout the year even during the breeding season - Ground Game Act 1880.
At least we have afforded the Meadow Pipit (or Mippit) a right to consult a solicitor 24/7 twelve months a year! Even so, our most common songbird in upland areas has sadly been in decline since the mid-1970s and is now amber listed.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Tied onto the AZER inbound the 5 pack of FMI's GP38's from the first train charge the steep hill bound for the mill in Morneci. There is no easing into this hill, it goes from a rather flat yard/interchange with the AZER right into the steep 5 plus percent grade.
With autumn on its way out now the frost has hit its reminded me I still have a few lovely shots from this season to share! Here is one from Stourhead taken at the beginning of November. I simply cant get enough of this place during these golden months!

In the meantime, have a good week you beautiful people!
Rolling onto the Athabaska glacier on a cold, rainy, and snowy day is an impressive experience. It is hard to appreciate the scale of this space but compare the red vehicle to the close up in the next photo to get an appreciation of its size.

On a bleak morning, inbound Keolis/MBTA train 108 from Newburyport is arriving at North Station in Boston as it rumbles onto the drawbridge over the Charles River on Main 3 passing venerable Tower A with F40PH-3C 1030 shoving on the rear. It's been a long time since these venerable colors were seen here on 'home rails' and this new heritage unit is a stunning tribute to this great city's hometown road.
For now the last relics from the Boston and Maine days remain clustered here including the vintage dwarf signals, the drawbridges ans the tower itself which was built during the B&M's 1926-1932 reconfiguration of the terminal and the then new Boston Engine Terminal. The two story steel frame and brick structure replaced an earlier tower located on the south side of the Charles. It was placed in service on September 27, 1931 with an original electrical board containing 211 levers! Until 2021 the drawbridge operator still worked out of it but today it serves no purpose at all.
The two bascule bridges also date from that same year when the navigable channel of the Charles River was shifted 300 feet to the north of its former route to allow the platforms at North Station to be extended. At the time of their construction two additional spans were built just to the west with a total of 8 tracks crossing the river serving 22 platform tracks vs only 10 today.
All of this is on borrowed time however, as the MBTA is embarking on a nearly one billion dollar project to replace the aging and failure prone spans and reconfigure Tower A. Ultimately these last vestiges of the Route of the Minuteman will fall to the wrecking ball and cutting torch and three new vertical lift spans are supposed to rise in their place allowing for six tracks to cross the river and the addition of two more platform tracks.
Rising above can be seen the obelisk towers and cable stays of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial suspension bridge built in 2003 as part of the infamous Big Dig project that saw Interstate 93 removed from its elevated pathway through the heart of the city and buried beneath it.

I've been holding onto this shot for a while now. There were just to many different options for editing it. I loved this one in black and white, but I feel like color is the better choice. It needed that liveliness

โFrodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.โโ J.R.R. Tolkien

I uploaded my FIRST photo onto Flickr ... One Year Ago Today!
Oh what a great year it's been! I've learned so much about photography in this past year and I owe it all to YOU! You are the best photographers and the best teachers. I emulate your talent!
Although Flickr is a photo sharing site, I think you would agree that it's so much more than that. I have met the very BEST people here on Flickr. I have made friends that will last a lifetime... friends that are welcome in my home.... friends that will always reside in my heart.
Thank you to ALL my Flickr friends and family for making this 1st year such a wonderful, fullfilling experience!

This was originally a switchback fora late 1800's logging railroad. The small road in foreground is where the tailing rail was located. The train would come up the hill and onto the tailing and the switch would be flipped, then the train would backup the rest of the way to the top of the mountain. There is another one a couple thousand yards below this one. The switchbacks make it possible to climb steep gradients.
