METRO Streetcar is a 3.4-mile streetcar system connecting the cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock.
Three historic replica streetcars operate along the route.
The system opened in 2004.
Traeth Llyfn on the north Pembrokeshire coast. I couldn't believe how much the foreground rock looks like a crocodile.

Known as the Rock Pigeon, Rock Dove or the Common Pigeon. These birds are found in most cities of the world. Their main diet in the cities is human junk food.
Newspaper Rock, which is one of the largest and best-known petroglyph panels in Utah, is located about 12 miles west of U.S. Highway 191 between Monticello and Moab, on the paved road that leads to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Deep in a red rock canyon, near a stream lined with towering cottonwoods turned yellow with autumn, the panel contains hundreds of figures and shapes believed to be carved over the past 1,500 to 2,000 years.
Bukansan National Park
This is the streambed of a very pretty little stream that originated somewhere on Bukansan. I mentioned this elsewhere, but in Korea a "mountain" is not just one peak but is the entire collection of peaks surrounding what is the main--but not always the highest--peak. In other words a "mountain" is a range. Just a different concept of what we have in the West.
This is the same stream that appears in this other shot of mine here:

This scene is never to be repeated as all METRA trains stop short of the diamonds,(Behind me) This is former Rock Island track.
This was one of our stops on the central coast of California during a recent vacation. Morro Rock is a volcanic plug that stands 581-foot (177 m) high in Morro Bay, California. It was created when magma hardened within a vent on an active volcano. It was taken with a Tokina 11-17mm lens, which causes everything to look much smaller than it actually is.
To get this shot, I hopped way to many massive boulders with a tripod and mounted camera over my shoulder. One time I got too close to the water and slipped on a wet boulder, causing my feet to come completely out from under me, only to land flat on my back on a rock slab as long as me. Fortunately it was a flat rock, or I probably would not be writing this right now. Camera survived, only inches from slamming into the same rock. I was a bit more careful when I headed back and I don't think I will do anything like this again.
This was one of my first tests of a neutral density filter to lengthen the exposure.

This clock is filled with gold, silver and precious stones. It's hanging on the wall in the living room and was hand made in Canada by a friend.
I photographed this Rock Wren at the exact same location as the Canyon Wren. This is only the second I've seen. Both birds photographed in Grand Forks.
the 7yrold and i love exploring and, wherever we go, we try to blend in. happy sliders sunday friends.
As a Suburban line trains reverses east to put itself away in Metra's yard at Blue Island a train for Joliet tears west under one of at least 5 searchlight cantilevers in a 2 mile stretch. Also seen peeking out from between the twin through trusses is an outbound Illinois Central Electric Blue Island branch train.
This was taken west from Hover Street up the Burlington RR branch to Lyons and the cement plant and toward Golden Ponds when I walked across the street. The status of the cement plant is questionable now. It has quarry and gravel pits itself that are probably all wet today. I was told the water was up to the car's windows, left, yesterday Two rivers converge in front of Broley. Some folks are convinced the river ought to be moved back. Darwin should chime in on that idea. I was sitting at my place and spoiling to get out during a brief respite. I walked over to Hover Street and on down to the bridge at 3rd Avenue to look over the mess. I didn't get a block down the street before catching a couple of shots of the sky before walking all the way down. The bridge was closed the last time. I was told that the water was topping the bridge yesterday. Some of these bridges were recently rebuilt to accommodate the walking/biking path and were thus larger spans and built with recent design concepts. Parks designs saved a lot of the town. They are water parks now.
Good news though: the two gals who camped and were stranded near the Keyhole[www.14ers.com/routemain.php?route=long1&peak=longs+peak] on Long's Peak were apparently safe from the floods, chuckle. I have been up there and it is reasonably safe from flooding. The bread and milk may have been gone from the Estes Safeway when the gals got down! Estes Park was completely cut off with #34 and #36 wrecked and #72, Peak-2-Peak closed. They designated Trail Ridge over the Divide as emergency vehicles only. The Safeway truck was unloading at the time and got stranded so it emptied everything at the Estes store. What a stroke!
Yesterday I almost got knocked over by another storm and I had to run to retrieve my cap. I heard more Chinook helicopters on the way to evac Lyons, Colorado. etc. I woke up to lightning, thunder and a rain storm at 5:30 this morning. I heard Lyons is three islands now. Broley is an island. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockypix/sets/72157630174540860/]

That is the name of the rock formation so called by Navajo legend...it has nothing to do with Marvel Comics and Spiderman..lol
The formation is in the easternmost part of the southern canyon in Canyon De Chelly, in Chinle, AZ...roughly half way between Page and Flagstaff AZ. Canyon De Chelly is a forked canyon with a southern and northern canyon, There is a winding asphalt park road that travels up both sides of the 2 canyon rims. A fairly strenuous dirt path starts several miles back and descends to the 'White House' Anasazi ruins, but other than that path, there is no other access to the canyon, except by Navajo guides at the western entrance. There are a number of Anasazi ruins here as well as a colorful historical record. It starts out on level ground near Chinle, and gets progressively deeper as it cuts through the ascending plateau...Spider woman rock is a bit over 800 feet tall...and yes, you can walk right up to the edge of the canyon...there are no safety rails or nets.

Early morning finds MRL's Silver Cloud speeding east on the long tangent between Rock Creek and Bonita. The train operated between Missoula and Butte to attend a Montana economic summit.
Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek), also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is a sea stack in Pafos, Cyprus. The combination of the beauty of the area and its status in mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite makes it a popular tourist location.
Legend whispers that a local bar was not doing too well in the seventies, and tourists where not flocking to this beautiful beach in the same numbers as earleir years. in order to restore his fortunes he named one of the rocks as Aphrodite's birth place...........................business has never looked up since.

Thanks Birds & Wildlife UK, Sandi & Dave. It appears its a Rock Pipet.
Hanging Rock (formally known as Mount Diogenes), in central Victoria, Australia, is a distinctive geological formation, 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon, a former volcano. Best known as the site where a party of schoolgirls disappeared in February 1900 in the fictional story Picnic at Hanging Rock, Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory.
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon and, to the east, Crozier's Rocks.[citation needed] All three mamelons are made of solvsbergite, a form of trachyte only found in two or three other places in the world. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.
Hanging Rock contains numerous distinctive rock formations, including the "Hanging Rock" itself (a boulder suspended between other boulders, under which is the main entrance path), the Colonnade, the Eagle and the UFO. The highest point on Hanging Rock is 718 metres above sea level and 105 metres above the plain below. Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory but they exercised a custodial responsibility on behalf of the surrounding tribes in the Kulin nation. It was a site of male initiation and as such entry was forbidden except those young males being taken there for ceremonial initiation. After colonial settlement the Aboriginal people of the area were quickly dispossessed and forced out of the area by 1844. However one last initiation ceremony was held there in approximately November 1851 by a Wurundjeri Elder from the Templestowe area in the Yarra Valley. This ceremony was also attended by two young settlers' children, Willie Chivers, 11, and his younger brother Tom, 7, who were being cared for on a daily basis by the tribe after their mother had died. Their father went missing after looking for their mother. (Wikepedia excerpt)
