The Split Rock Lighthouse peeks out of the fall foliage along the shore of Lake Superior.
The lighthouse was built after a 1905 storm that damaged 29 boats. It was first lit in 1910.
The brass framed light is made up of 252 prisms and has a range of 22 miles.
Lake Superior is the worlds largest freshwater lake holding 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water! That's 3 quadrillion!!! That's enough to flood North and South America with one foot of water!!!
in the search for the most comfortable pillow in the yard Edward G. started with this one. I think it was locally made. so far so good. he has given it two meows and two paws up.
A juvenile rock beauty (holacanthus tricolor) in front of mountainous star coral (orbicella faveolata).
Rock beauties are teases. They are relatively numerous, obviously easy to spot and they allow for a somewhat close approach, but not as close as you would like for an underwater shot as they often turn away or duck into a crack at the last moment. This juvenile wasn't as skittish as a typical adult. Unlike many other fish, juvenile rock beauties look like what they will become as they age, but maybe more of a red accent on the dorsal and anal fins.
It is a challenge to get a clean background underwater. Here, the rock beauty is posing in front of a large mountainous star coral. Unfortunately, there is a good chance this coral is dead now. This image was taken earlier this year. We returned to this site in the summer and much to our disappointment, probably 1/3 of the hard corals, if not more, were dead.
I don't know if it was "just" coral bleaching or due to disease, such as the stony coral tissue loss disease (first identified in FL in 2014, bit.ly/3fBTIEt), but it was very deflating to see it happen at a site that had so many magnificent and massive hard corals. Mountainous star coral is listed as "endangered" by IUCN.
A shot I have always wanted, and achieved with a great leader and a great group of guys along side me, WAMX 4170 leads L351 over the Rock River bridge as they depart Janesville with a nice wave from the engineer.

Goskar Rock is a striking rock formation that juts out of the middle of the sand on Tenby's north beach in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
This photograph was taken as the low winter sun illuminated the rock providing a nice contrast with the dark sky over the sea.
A Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) on the grassy tundra landscape near our field camp at Karrak Lake, Nunavut.
The males do change in plumage during the breeding season but the ones we encountered were still in the white winter plumage.
Images were captured on Kodachrome 64 slide film.
April/May, 1976.

Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.
This 12th century fortress was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years. A tour of the rock is a must do on any trip to Ireland, as there is so much history here and so many photo opportunities. After touring the rock, be sure to take a walk down to Hore Abbey, just down the hill and across Camus road. The ruins there are also stunning and offer many views back up to the rock.
CN's seasonal rock job from southern Wisconsin to northern Illinois has been running in daylight for the first several weeks this year instead of its normal nocturnal operation. Train L70481-26 is accelerating south on the Waukesha Subdivision after clearing the permanent 35mph speed restriction in downtown Burlington.
A Rock Wren sings energetically at Red Rock Coulee Natural Area, which protects an intriguing landscape of large concretions spread over an area of prairie. The location is south of the village of Seven Persons which itself is southwest of the city of Medicine Hat in southeastern Alberta, Canada.
A pair of UP SD70Ms lead LDG51, the Potash Local, into Bootlegger Canyon after departing the potash mine on its weekly round trip down the Cane Creek Branch. Fun fact: the branch was originally built with 112-115 pound rail originally laid on the D&RGW mainline between Brendel and Cisco.
Another sunset scene on White Scar.
The features in the limestone pavement are the stars here. You could see a different foreground composition everywhere you looked. It was just a question of trying to line things up with the tree and the setting sun. I could certainly see at least a couple of faces in this shot, or am I imagining things?
Not the most stellar of sunsets, but at least we did get some light after a really grey day!
