Pahto (Mount Adams), seen from Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Last weekend I decided to meet up with a friend for a sunset hike at Mount Rainier National Park. We made detailed plans ahead of time for both the hike and sunset watching, and then ended up both arriving later than planned, doing a different hike, and hiking more slowly than anticipated due to snow (yes, more snow!) on the trail and a stop to search for my friend's dropped phone. But sunset wasn't until 8:51pm so we figured we still had plenty of time.
We were hiking with the sun behind us, and time was flying by as it has a way of doing when we hike together, so when we emerged from a forested section of the trail into a meadow, we suddenly noticed that the sun was starting to drop into the trees, and realized we had to turn around and hustle back down the trail to where we had planned to watch the sunset over Tahoma (Mount Rainier).
As we hiked at a quick pace back, through every break in the trees, my eyes were drawn to this view of Pahto and the south Cascades. In the evening light, with that fog rising from the forest below, I finally decided it was necessary to stop for photos, despite our time constraints.
Note: Pahto is the second highest peak in Washington, standing 12,281 feet/3743 meters tall and is considered one of the 5 active volcanoes in the state, although the last eruption was 1000 years ago. It is one of the five sacred mountains to the native Yakama peoples and part of the mountain is territory of the Yakama Nation.
This is at an oasis which was once a luxury resort but the locals now use the area as a day out to go dune buggy racing or to sail out on the oasis
This picture was taken a couple weeks ago, while my hubby and I were driving to Ontario from Alberta to visist family.

This evocative black-and-white image captures the raw energy and heritage of a traditional camel race in the UAE. Riders, poised with purpose, guide their camels along the dirt track under the desert sun. Camel racing is more than a sport in Arabia — it’s a cultural institution that reflects centuries of Bedouin tradition, endurance, and deep-rooted pride. These races once symbolized tribal prestige and are now celebrated in modern arenas with robotic jockeys and global spectatorship. Your photo beautifully preserves this transition between past and present, paying tribute to the region’s enduring connection with its desert-born legacy.
This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.

I'm sure they weren't but the driver of the far vehicle was moving quicker than the nearby Buick, hence being a little blurred.
This is another very early morning shot.
I had been on Steelton hill and heard a track warrant given to a "UP4523 south." A quick look that the map found where his warrant began. A more detailed look set forth a race against time as it was about 20 miles of hard driving over country roads to reach an open spot. Without really knowing where the train was and how fast it would be moving, I elected to stay at this spot. Turns out I had about 5 minutes to spare. Making 40 mph, MITDM is southbound at Deadham, WI.
