"Speak to me of lovely things, of treasures yet to be found, of peace that flows like a river. Tell me of tranquil places that no hand has marred, no storm has scarred. Give me visions of standing in the sunlight, or feeling the mist against my check as I move and live and breathe. Show me paths that wind through wild lilies and beds of yellow primroses. Sing me songs of the spheres, the mingled voices of wrens and meadowlarks, the lowing of gentle cows, the soft motherly chuckle of the mare talking to her colt.
Lead me past the glass-smooth pond where frogs croak of their coming-out party, their graduation from frisky tadpoles to squat green frogs that wait patiently for the flying insect. Find me a place in the sun to sit and think and listen to the sweet inner voice that says so quietly, 'Peace. Be still'."
[Joyce Sequichie Hifler]

Museum at Prairiefire colorful glass exterior as the dawning day bends the light. A museum a natural history melded with art and augmented reality that opened in Overland Park Kansas in 2014 boasts an unique stained glass exterior that is equally a visual fest for those of the photographic persuasion. I was glad my friend and co-worker from Long Island scouted this location that was worth the bitter cold we both endured on that morning. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @visitthemap @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitoverlandpark @visitkansas #omd #microfourthirds @siruiimaging #micro43 #micro43photography
One very frigid mid-west morning last month in Overland Park Kansas a co-worker who hails from Long Island ventured to the Prairiefire section of Overland Park to see and get some images of the Museum at Prairiefire, a beautiful museum with unique architecture that opened in 2014. It was cold but was glad we braved the elements as the Museum at Prairiefire did not disappoint. The stained glass gives the outside of the Museum a unique look and did not disappoint. The museum was closed obviously because my co-worker and I arrived just as the sun was rising as we needed to get to work on that same day. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #omd #microfourthirds #micro43photography @visitthemap @visitoverlandpark @visitkansas
The start of the Overland Track near Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. We walked along this section of the track to get to other (shorter) walks. The Overland Track takes 6 days - one day ...
Still in Kamloops, I decided to work on the Overlander Bridge, and try to make something of it. As it turned out, the shapes rather than the bridge itself, made the most interesting of the images taken. Creating a kind of window and framing the landscape beyond, resulted in the most compelling of the work that day.
It is also satisfying that the water is back in the Thompson River. For some time now, one could walk quite far out onto sand bars, leaving us wondering about water levels. But, plenty of rain and cooler temperatures seemed to have helped current conditions.
and the front... sun was setting fast, not sure I got exactly the photo which captures my joy at glancing over as I'm driving and taking in the scene, just magic!

I shot this image from near Hope's town hall and pizza parlor while looking west across the choppy water of Lake Pend Oreille toward the fire's active edge. Gray smoke from the smoldering Sunset Fire trailed leftward from about 3/4 fo the way up the rugged, timbered mountainside overlooking Idaho's northern Panhandle, starkly contrasting the colorful clouds above and fiery sunset beyond.
Scattered pines stood sentinel along the nearest shoreline, framing a lone boat dock and large cabin amid the serene bay, with low clouds hugging the distant peaks while separate gray fire smoke drifted below. The Sunset Fire scorched over 3,200 acres starting August 13, 2025, reached full containment by early September, and left this vivid scar visible from miles away during its volatile upslope runs.
I came across numerous wildfires in the Pacific Northwest on my three-month overlanding trip this past summer. At times, it was difficult to find a place to camp where the air was not contaminated with smoke, and the wildfire maps were ablaze with fires--Canada, only miles to the north, seemed completely engulfed. 2025 was a bad year for fires.

Snow day on Pine Forest Moor. Overland Track, Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania.
These bushes were burned when a fire (dry lighting) ripped through here in early February, 2025. Parts of the track and a private hut were destroyed along with thousands of hectares of wilderness.
Remote fire crews did a fantastic job under the conditions.

A local treasure filled with walking trails, flowers, wildlife, sculpture from local artists and a Chinese sculpture garden, all for a paltry $3 (used to be free).
I used the 3D portion of Photoshop and placed the picture on "cube wraps." It does the harder work for you. If I had a 3D printer I could make a nice little doodad. :) Happy Sunday!

I think the healthy sounding 14litre Cummins was pushing out a good deal more than 270hp!
Once called the “The Wickedest City in the West”, Julesburg is the only town in Colorado where the original Union Pacific Overland Route from Council Bluffs passes through. Before settlers arrived, the area around Julesburg was home to the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and other Plains tribes. In 1856, Francis Bryan, a U.S. Army Lieutenant founded a Native American trail along the southern edge of the South Platte River near present-day Julesburg. It later became the Overland Trail after the aftermath of the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859.
In 1858, a half-French Canadian, half-Indian trapper by the name of Jules Beni established a trading post and saloon along the south side of the South Platte River between present day Ovid and Julesburg. As time went on, more people settled within the vicinity of the trading post and saloon where several buildings were built. It became one of the best known establishments between Fort Kearny, Nebraska, and what was then, the new mining town of Denver. As the area continued to grow, the new settlement became know as Julesburg, named after its proprietor Jules Beni. However, the town was burned to the ground by Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota warriors during the Battle of Julesburg of 1865, which was retaliation for the Sand Creek Massacre. The second Julesburg was rebuilt four miles away from the original site and served military troops from nearby Fort Sedgwick.
The Union Pacific from Council Bluffs arrived in 1867 and boasted a telegraph office and freight house owned by Wells Fargo. The UP however continued building west towards Cheyenne and the second Julesburg quickly faded. The third Julesburg was relocated once again, and settled across the South Platte River adjacent to the UP tracks. During its short existence from 1867 to 1881, Julesburg garnered a reputation as a violent, vice-ridden "hell on wheels" place. The fourth and final Julesburg was incorporated in 1886 when the branch line from Denver joined with the Overland Route. The town earned the nickname, "The Town That Moved Four Times".
Today, the UP still provides the daily ritual of running trains through Julesburg with its busy Sidney Subdivision. The Julesburg Subdivision, that once went all the way to La Salle, is still used a couple days per week with a local based out of Sterling.

A forest fire burns for its thrid consecutive day on the other side of Lake Cascade. I almost did not go down to the beach because the sky had been cloudless all day. However, the smoke ascended to a certain height and was then being blown by winds at a high altitude..
This is viewed from the northern end of the lake on the opposite shore (Donnelly, Idaho)..

Last light over Pine Bluffs, WY
Fast moving eastward bound for NoPlatte delights my passion for glint. Add some ancient line poles! No more lines, soon these will be gone.
March 2026
UP eastbound with 146 cars + caboose @around 1455 behind four SD40-2 (3205-C&S996-CNW6854-CNW6845.) I always seemed to enjoy Laramie more than I did Cheyenne. There was a convenient pedestrian overpass just north of the depot, and that depot looked like Annie Oakley or Calamity Jane would step off the "Overland Limited" any time. At this time it was served by Amtrak; somewhere around this time their "San Francisco Zephyr" became the "California Zephyr." The variety in trains and power was enormous, and like DanK says the downtown provided a great slice of Old West background. I had been working for BN since July and if I could get away, about 200 miles to Cheyenne or maybe 270 to Laramie didn't make a lot of difference. Like my employer, EwePee was getting into coal transport in a big way and their need for new equipment is shown in the fresh hoppers.

Willys-Overland produced this car between 1937-1942 though only the 1941-42 models were tagged with the ‘Americar’ name.
Its original powerplant was a 2.2 liter inline 4-cylinder nicknamed as the ‘Go-Devil’ engine. Despite the versatility of that drive train, the Americar coupé became a popular choice for many drag racers to modify as the basis for their race cars utilizing other brands of engines.
Btw, Willys is pronounced as ‘WILL-liss’, not ‘WILL-leez.’
