Built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1873, and designed by E. Francis Baldwin, the Point of Rocks station is situated at the junction of the B&O Old Main Line (running to Baltimore) and the Metropolitan Branch (running to Washington, D.C.).
The Met Branch also opened in 1873 and became the principal route for passenger trains between Baltimore, Washington, and points west.
The station building itself is not open to the public and is used by CSX as storage and offices for maintenance of way crews.

Working on the principle that I will start as I mean to carry on. My @2021 folder is now open!
3 species of wader are often present and we're today.
This one seems to have a white feather in its flights.
Little boat looking for a fishing spot under the towering cliffs, first day at the point and although the light a tad harsh it was nice to record the visit.
Dead Horse Point State Park
Moab, UT
Shooting conditions were not the best on this day, but I loved this park.
According to one legend, around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys rounded up these horses, herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck, which is only 30-yards-wide, was then fenced off with branches and brush.
This created a natural corral surrounded by precipitous cliffs straight down on all sides, affording no escape. Cowboys then chose the horses they wanted and let the culls or broomtails go free. One time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.

I had a great day today. I met up with five of my photography friends this morning in hopes of catching a sunset of epic proportions. As you can see by this shot the color wasn't there, and so monochrome processing.
Thanks go to Janice, Bruce, Jamey, Greg-0 and Alan for making the meetup so much fun.

Thank you for your visit ;-)
good or bad but more and more my shots from Split are explored, now suddenly 15 are explored in last few weeks, none of them on the first page though.
Here are the latest entries:
I wonder how Flickr could miss this one, it should be on the front page of explore long time ago.
The Tawas Point State Park is known for the spring and autumn warbler migrations. The Spring migration occurs in May. This year, the state rebuilt the access road to the point. As a result, the road was closed until May 31st. By the time I could get there on June 8th, the warblers were gone.
No worries. The lighthouse, pier, and shore birds were interesting enough to make the trip worthwhile.
