Whether it's the end of summer travels and its freedom or the return to an uncertain dystopian world… the feeling is nostalgic.
It was late April when we made a scouting trip to the Little River Canyon National Reserve. It was a sunshine day most of the time. We arrived at the Eberhart Point Overlook in late afternoon as our first stop to visit the bottom of the Canyon. We descended along a steep but well maintained trail to the bottom. By the time we reached the bottom we were treated with a breath-taking view of the scene that have never seen before: high cliffs surrounded by lush green trees.
We then took our time casually scouting around the area for decent compositions. Although the view of the cliff of the Crow Point was partially blocked by the newly sprouted tree branches and by the limited area we could walked around the gravel bank of the creek due to the high level of the water, it was still a grand view especially in the sunset time.
We were blessed to experience such a wonderful scene: lush green trees, fresh running stream, and, most uniquely, the entire canyon belonging to ourselves. It delivers us a refreshing and solitude feelings that completely unload the burden from routine busy work.

One of these things is different but they both played a part yesterday. The pins held my number on whilst the twist tie kept my shoe tag on as I did my first London Marathon in 3hrs 50!!!! HMM!
Street running, or at least quasi-street running is in progress here in Troy, Ohio on CSX's former B&O Toledo Sub. Seen here as train Q361 (Avon, IN to Cincinnati, OH, Queensgate Yard, manifest) rolls through town.
Either due to crew availability or car height restrictions, Q360/361 often run via the Toledo and Indy Line subs doing a "pull around and back around two connections turn around" move in Ridgeway, Ohio and utilizing the connection in Sidney, instead of via the former B&O Indianapolis Sub which is basically a direct route between the two terminals.

Before a year of injuries, I ran by this building at least once a week. It's nice to be able to make it back out here, but I wonder which paintings I missed.

Not quite in time to celebrate Black Five Day, LMS Stanier 4-6-0 44871 pulls away from its water stop at Winchfield on the South Western Main Line with a London Victoria to Bath Spa tour for Steam Dreams.
NGC 1977, NGC 1973 and NGC 1975 - Running Man Nebula
Reflection nebula NGC 1977, NGC 1973 and NGC 1975 and open cluster NGC 1981 This colorful group of reflection nebula are located just north of Messier 42 and Messier 43, which can be partially seen at the bottom of this image.
Found along Orion's sword just north of the bright Orion Nebula complex, these reflection nebulae are also associated with Orion's giant molecular cloud about 1,500 light-years away but are dominated by the characteristic blue color of interstellar dust reflecting light from hot young stars.
