Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.
فإذا برق البصرُ * وخَسفَ القمرُ * وجُمِع الشمسُ والقمرُ
يقول الإِنسانُ يومئذٍ أينَ المفرُّ* كلا لا وَزَرَ * إلى ربك يومئذٍ المستَقَرُّ

....Evening sun behind the trees. These wildflowers were next to the creek. Not going to try to i.d. them. I have noticed my last few postings are bland in color. Winter blues. lol

Amtrak’s new fleet wide paint scheme, known as Phase VII, is taking the railroad over by storm. While the scheme has yet to debut on passenger cars, locomotives have been rolling out of the shop left and right wearing the eye catching new paint. Here it is on the mighty Genesis locomotive leading the southbound Silver Star through Boca Raton, FL

A nice treat this morning was to find Amtrak's Phase 4 heritage unit, AMTK 164, leading the westbound Zephyr as the train crosses East Portal Road between Tolland and East Portal. Fall colors are about as good as they are going to get, offering a spectacular ride for passengers.

Amtrak's newest heritage unit leads the westbound California Zephyr over Donner Pass. Maintenance along the pass and heavy traffic slowed the train down a little bit for a good chunk of the trip but not long later the train would halt for two hours near Midas. By the time the train got to Roseville it would be several hours late.

Every January the Spotted Gums on the NSW Far South Coast shed their bark. This is the base of the trunk of one in my yard - like many others nearby it's shed its bark almost completely, adding to the potential bushfire fuel load. When rain sets in, the newly exposed trunks seem to glow green; repeated cycles of wetting and drying encourage development of the spotted trunk pattern until next year's debarking.
It's a phase I'm going through.

Glitter eyeshadow has had several phases of popularity over the years! It first became mainstream in the 1960s and 1970s with the rise of glam rock. Icons like David Bowie and Cher popularized glitter as part of their bold, otherworldly looks.
The 1980s disco era took glitter to new heights, with shimmering outfits and makeup becoming a must-have for party-goers.

Amtrak 138 heads north through Long Bridge Park on its way north to DC. The 174 has been in service south of Washington for most of the year, along with a few other P42s in Amtrak's newest livery.
After chasing Amtraks P945 to Sanford I would grab a few shots of the static power at the terminal which would be many ALC-42 Siemens Charger locomotives and the replacement of the Dash-8s the GP38-3s seen here. 748 & 749 do the switching services for the most part now a days with 749 just entering operation after being stored for a bit on property. As you can tell we had some severe thunderstorms rolling in so we would head out shortly after.
Just west of Blue Mountain Drive and the hotbox detector at MP 22.6, the westbound Zephyr is having no issues moving along at track speed in the continually-falling snow. Without question, passengers aboard the Zephyr are going to have a better experience on the trip west today compared to folks driving in the high country on I-70!
