Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa
This was taken almost a week ago, and the colors are all but gone! The last shot i posted of this very area had our first light snow on 10.14.18.
It's where I go to pause, listen to nature, breath fresh air and hike. It's my "Big Time Out!" :)

On April 16, 2024, at 6:24 a.m., while filming a sunrise at Margate City Beach, I took this photo of a very high and very fast moving aircraft.
Sky pilot... sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
And I shot some video too.

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.
Tail fin and winglet of US Airways Airbus A330-323X N272AY which is climbing out of runway 07L.
MSN 333 has had its first flight on 06.04.00 with the test registration F-WWKT and was delivered to US Airways on 04.05.00 (leased WFBN) with the registration N672UW. It was re-registered with US Airways as N272AY on 11.10.06.
Since January 15, 2009 and the spectacular crash landing of N106US (Airbus A320-200) in the Hudson River, New York, I see these tail fins with another view. Congratulations to the flight crew - especially to the pilot Chesley Burnett Sullenberger who managed to bring down the jet in one piece and without the loss of a soul!
Only recently, I'd had a discussion with friends about how nuns tend to not wear habits anymore... that years ago, they were given the green light to wear street clothes. I also just recalled being told in grade school that nuns were allowed only to travel in pairs.
So, when I saw this nun in the airport the other day, I was thrilled to see that she was on my flight, that I might get a chance to photograph her. I nearly lept out of my pants (sorry for that visual) when I saw this scene immediately across from where I was sitting. I was very lucky to get this, however, as I shot it just as people were lining up for our flight. Someone had just walked by (to the left) for me to grab this. It's not as sharp as it could be, I suppose, because I wanted so desperately to record it that there's a touch of camera shake.
Cream of the Crop: This is my most viewed, most commented on, most fav'd and most "interesting"!
EDIT (14 December 2005): I'm very excited to have had this photo selected for issue #4 of JPG magazine! It even made the cover montage!!
Selected for publication at the now-defunct FILE on-line magazine.
This photograph is now available for sale at my ImageKind site.
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
Photographed from the cruise ship Marella Discovery, the pilot boat from Bodø, Norway keeps pace with the ship ready to take off the local pilot.
Just another sunset in the paradise of Western North Carolina. The Cradle of Forestry and Pink Beds in the foreground with the high ridge of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the background on the right.
