It must be a decade since I photographed Winnats Pass at sunrise. I avoid it as it gets very busy, especially at weekends.
But I made the opportunity to visit today and it was quieter. Nice to bump into Phil Harrison again. the second time in as many months. Looking forward to your shots.
Passo dello Stelvio - Stilfser Joch - is a mountain pass in northern Italy, at an elevation of 2,757 m (9,045 ft) above sea level. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps.

Driving from Ballinskelligs towards Portmagee in the Iveragh peninsula, Ireland, you have to pass over the Coomanaspic pass.
The pass itself might not be anything special in terms of altitude or complexity of construction (actually it's just a couple of uphill straights connected with a couple of hairpins) but it does afford a wonderful view towards Portmagee and Valentia island and combined with the heavy rolling clouds that we encountered, the view was really spectacular!
At the last decade close to disappeared the species but nowadays I happy to see again a flock of Passer montanus in my garden .

I have previously posted my favourite shot from here as a portrait image making the most of the foreground rocks. This landscape shot shows more of the Honister Pass road leading down to Gatesgarth and Buttermere.
The conditions were just wonderful and I sat here for quite a while having a well earned snack and waiting for the light to come through.
The view of the distant hills and the Irish Sea on the Cumbrian West coast was really crisp and clear in the cool conditions.
Lots of burnt up slot machines in the back room of the casino. Also a safe. This is a most interesting location, besides the burned out casino there are about 12-15 houses, two motels, a restaurant, truck repair garage and lots of sheds and smaller buildings. On US6 at Montgomery Pass. A real ghost town with a US Highway running right through it.
Located on US Highway 6, "the loneliest road" in Mineral County, Nevada. This is part of the series of the loneliest tourist attractions on US6. Not all are abandoned joints.
dopo il Passo di Val Fredda superiamo il Passo Della Vacca, così definito per la presenza di una formazione rocciosa che da il nome alle zona, e su di un sentiero lastricato risalente alla prima guerra mondiale, procediamo verso il rifugio...
Ophir Pass is an easy road with nice views. It still requires 4wd vehicle on the west side, but the east side is really smooth.
I had a special reason for doing this road this year, and I will be posting that picture after the next one I post.
Wisconsin Central train 49 passes WC intermodal train 219 in the yard at Waukesha, Wisconsin, on the morning of May 6, 1995. Both trains are powered by a pair of EMD SD45s, with lead locomotive in WC maroon and gold and trailing unit still in Santa Fe colors.
This is my second time at the Cajon Pass Inn. I like it here. There is a bottle opener on the front of bathroom vanity. More a vibe than a utility. Out front is a gas station with no premade sandwiches or anything beyond coffee for breakfast. The worst feature here is loose electrical sockets. I’m here writing this and charging all the batteries after an evening of setting up to photograph a train at night, occasionally pushing the chargers back into the wall.
Still on East coast time, I woke early, bought my coffee and something like a comically large lunchable and walked off the dead end remnant of 66 into the desert searching for @gordofromearth. He has been in orbit around the desert in a RV school bus / space shuttle type situation.
I found the railroad security. I saw him driving along one line while I was walking along another. Through a culvert, up a wash and along another line, I was gone. Hours later the security guy returned. He let us stay and told us the hotel’s worst feature was the tweakers who stay there. He told us he’s deployed to a section of railroad to keep the cartels from hopping aboard and stealing its cargo. He told us he'd let the next guy know that we could stay and that we were cool.
Gordo parked at sundown yesterday and apparently went largely unnoticed. He noticed some seriously poor air quality. I saw it too, driving in around 2am, cones of light under every street lamp. By morning the wind had reversed and the smoke from the fires terrorizing LA had blown out to sea. As the afternoon wore on, the wind again revered course and the smoke filled the pass again.
We started setting up the lights knowing the smoke would give a most undesert-like hazy effect. At this point the steady stream on trains stopped. We stood on this windy ledge for two or three hours waiting for a train to come up the pass. We heard a train horn and saw the new security on shift driving up the road along the tracks looking around with a spot light - was this guy going to ruin the shot? He passed under us as the train slogged up the hill in front of us.
Maloja Pass is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps in the canton of Graubünden, linking the Engadine with the Val Bregaglia. The pass is also one of three language barriers between Romansh and Italian within the canton.
On our third day of exploring, we took off out of Silverton to Ophir Pass. The day started off pretty gloomy with this sky, but I loved the look it gave us. The pass tops out right about 12,000 feet at this point. The air gets pretty thin up here and I tried not to do any climbing off the main road.
This pass has been used from the 1800s by traders traveling to Ophir, which is still a small mountain town today. It was upgraded for vehicle travel in the 1950s and is used as a recreational trail today. The trail was easy to drive up to the pass from Silverton. The downhill drive to Ophir was steeper and more challenging. We used low gear a lot on the way down. I wouldn't want to try this with a two-wheel drive vehicle. This is a great day trip out of Silverton.
Just a few more from an amazing couple of days exploring the Peak District.
The morning of day 1 was spent at Winnats Pass watching the inversion in the valley. Just fabulous!
