A manifest freight is coming down Silver Zone Pass. The Pilot Valley in the backdrop is looking like a frozen body of water.
I am standing near the upper tracks looking down. Some ten minutes before the train went past me and took the Arnold Loop before emerging in my view again way down below.

On March 2nd, 2028, The North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] established a special operations faction known as the, “Greater Reconnaissance and Negotiation Division,” or more commonly known as “Grand” Faction. This team of operatives had been subjects in an advanced military training program the U.S. created for the purpose of becoming an advanced counter-terrorism division first established in 2022. In the next few years, their main purpose was to respond to the conflict created by Middle-Eastern countries until the introduction of the third world war. Since then, a select group of these specially-trained operatives [Grand Faction] have been reassigned to perform a variety of executive tasks in America, Europe, and Africa.

A group of Pilot Whales is an incredibly lucky encounter in the Mediterranean, considering that the estimates of their population size are in the hundreds of individuals. Once you do happen to find them, however, you are rewarded with some of the most breathtaking interactions of the marine world, as long-finned Pilot Whales are some of the most curious and playful wild creatures I've ever seen.
A big thank you to Tethys research institute for making such experiences possible, and for all the research and conservation they do to protect these creatures.
In this picture I also managed to capture the incredibly smooth texture of their Melon, with a reflection of the research vessel "Pelagos".
Pilot Island lighthouse sits, as you might expect, on Pilot Island in Ports de Mort or Death's Door, the passage between Washington Island and the tip of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula. Since the lighthouse was decommissioned, it has been taken over by the cormorants who have, quite literally, crapped the island into oblivion, the acidity of their guano killing nearly all of the vegetation on the island. The Friends of Plum and Pilot Island arranged to get a new roof on the lighthouse a few years ago and are hoping to be able to preserve the lighthouse. The island is presently a nature preserve under the control of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Pilot Mountain is a 2,241 foot (683 m) peak in western North Carolina. The Big Pinnacle is a distinctively shaped knob that is bare on the sides and wooded at the top.
There were lots of comings and goings towards our ship during the afternoon including an early visit from the pilot. He obviously came over for an early meeting for he left shortly afterwards and returned later in the evening to assist us out of the port

During the period of manufacture 22,155 cars were produced.
“No one does anything truly for their Country, but rather the people right beside them so they can all get back home in one piece.”
A glory is an optical phenomenon that resembles an iconic saint's halo about the shadow of the observer. They are formed when light is scattered backwards by individual water droplets. Glories, like rainbows, are always directly opposite the sun, centered at the antisolar point. You can see them whenever mist or a cloud is beneath you and the sun breaks through to shine on it.
Glories have a bright center and their rings are delicately colored, blue on the inside changing through greens to red and purple outside. Sometimes three or even four rings are visible.
Shadows converge on the antisolar point and so glories are nearly always accompanied by your shadow or that of the aircraft you are in.
Glories are often seen from aircraft. Get a seat opposite the sun and watch them ring the aircraft's shadow - or more accurately, where your own shadow would be.
So from the shadow in this image you can see that it was taken from the pilots seat.
