A colorful locomotive consist leads Burlington Northern Santa Fe HKCKPAS westbound through Rock Creek between Bonita and Clinton, Montana, over MRL’s Third Subdivision on October 15, 2000. MRL No. 301, a former Clinchfield/CSX SD45-2 leads the train. Trailing are BN SD60M No. 9214, BNSF GP39M No. 2876, former Santa Fe SD45-2 No. 6471 and GE B40-8 No. 8616. The empty grade between the train and the Clark Fork is Milwaukee Road’s Pacific Extension right-of-way. For 35 years until 2018, Rock Creek was popular in some circles for its annual ‘Testicle Festival’ known as ‘Testy Fest’ each summer at the Rock Creek Lodge, that featured a wild celebration surrounding music, beer and consumption of ‘Rocky Mountain Oysters.’ Their advertising once stated, “You’ll have a ball! If you miss it, you’re nuts!”

A rare departure for me, I ventured into the digital world to make a photo for Macro Mondays. The theme is balance, a concept that resonates with me. Thanks to Pierre for letting me use his camera and lens. HMM
Quite well camouflaged.
My thanks and gratitude to all of you for your views, likes and comments. I read them all! It is always very much appreciated.
There a series of small peaks and troughs before we reach the actual summit of Creag Leacach. This means clambering through steep boulder fields like this before we can finally rest! You can see now why the name Creag Leacach translates as 'The Slabby Crag'.
Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).

Close up image from one of our favourite west coast beaches. A gorgeous calm night with clouds closing in the beach. Not the prettiest lighthouse but distinct and interesting shape of the rock.
The Union Pacific acquired two groups of GP40s from EMD, in 1966 and 1970, and leased them to the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. Two of the leased units have migrated back to the Union Pacific rails, due to the bankruptcy, shutdown, and liquidation of the Rock Island. Salt Lake City • May 25, 1980
Remarkable Rocks. It took 500 million years for rain, wind, and pounding waves to create these aptly named granite boulders which are now part of the Flinders Chase National Park.
On the same evening as the juvenile meadow pipits I also found a juvenile rock pipit living up to it's name on the rocks at Cemlyn
A wonderful and very enjoyable evening spent down at Black Rock Bay in Cornwall watching the Sunset. I manged to capture this image of the Sun just before it dipped behind the famous Black Rock.

"Rock'n'roll is an attitude, not a musical or formal style. It identifies the way you do things: writing can be rock, just as shooting a film is. It's a way of life."

As the Potash Local makes its way down the Cane Creek Sub, it passes a number of formations with green rock layers. These are geological formations with less iron that formed in underwater/swampy conditions, therefore not allowing the iron to rust and turn red. These would date back to when this area was under a giant inland sea.

A beautiful rock garden in the Eastern Sierra. This is from last summer when I hiked the PCT from Sonora pass to Carson Pass.
A backlit Cod Rock on the the Bicheno foreshore, Tasmania. The trees on Redbill Point behind the rock.
Big swell making on the beaches behind the point and a lot of sea spray/mist in the atmosphere right on sundown/late golden hour.
