A Ram poses for me in Glacier National Park, Montana. I happened to see this Ram at a scenic turnout near Goose Island Overlook. I was afraid it would run off as I tried to get out for a photo, but thankfully it held it's ground. For a while it got down on the pavement & started licking it, I figure for salt, but I'm really not sure what it was licking off the pavement.
August 8th, I decided to drive a part of the Forestry Trunk road (aka: Hwy 40) from West of Sundre, to Ram Falls, and further North to an awesome old coal mining town of Nordegg. I've visited Nordegg a few years ago and got some great shots, but this year the main road is torn up as they're building a new subdivision up near the old historic buildings.
That was fine though, as my main focus was Ram Falls which I'd never visited before.
After a LONG slow and winding drive from Sundry up the 40 to Ram Falls Park. Now that I know the drive South from Nordegg is much quicker travelling (probably due to it being packed down more) I'll go to Ram Falls next time from the North.
But, here is one of a few photos I managed to get (The platform was crowded and it was very busy). I will be back during the week when nobody is hopefully there so that I can spend more time setting up some good shots. :)
Notice that his eyes are closed as he was relaxing on the warm road in the sun taking an afternoon siesta. He wasn't the least bit bothered by me. However, I maintained a safe social distance!
An old desktop PC, no longer works but take it apart and a multitude of macro photo opportunities await............. and dust :D
'Marco (Polo) entra in una citta’; vede qualcuno in una piazza vivere una vita o un istante che potevano essere suoi; al posto di quell’uomo ora avrebbe potuto esserci lui se si fosse fermato nel tempo tanto tempo prima, oppure se tanto tempo prima a un crocevia invece di prendere una strada avesse preso quella opposta e dopo un lungo giro fosse venuto a trovarsi al posto di quell’uomo in quella piazza. Ormai, da quel suo passato vero o ipotetico, lui e’ escluso; non puo’ fermarsi; deve proseguire fino a un’altra citta’ dove lo aspetta un altro suo passato, o qualcosa che forse era stato un suo possibile futuro e ora e’ il presente di qualcun altro. I futuri non realizzati sono solo rami del passato: rami secchi.

Two rams tangle their horns in some mock sparring in preparation for the real show a few months away.
I think it is amazing how a rams horns grow like this, curled round it's ears and it can still hear perfectly.
This boat launch is part of the Ram Light, located off the Ocean Point shoreline at Grimes Cove. Near Boothbay Harbor. It was built in 1883. Prior to its existence, the perilous rocks of Ram Island were marked by lanterns tended by local mariners.
They were crude and many times could not be seen beyond 100 feet. Now the light is visible for 13 miles.
Ram Light can be seen from a distance at Grimes Cove or closer by boat.
