Taken at the beautiful Walsh County, which reminds me so much of when I was in Idaho.
"Where the river runs to black,
I take the schoolbooks from your pack.
Plastics, wire and your kiss,
the breath of eternity on your lips.
In the crowded marketplace,
I drift from face to face,
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes.
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
The Virginia hills have gone to brown.
Another day, another sun going down.
I visit you in another dream
I visit you in another dream
I reach and feel your hair,
your smell lingers in the air.
I brush your cheek with my fingertips,
I taste the void upon your lips.
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
I search for you on the other side,
where the river runs clean and wide.
Up to my heart, the waters rise
Up to my heart, the waters rise
I sink beneath the river cool and clear.
Drifting down, I disappear.
I see you on the other side.
I search for the peace in your eyes.
But they're as empty as paradise,
they're as empty as paradise
I break above the waves,
I feel the sun upon my face"

Life runs and transforms us, taking pieces of us....
The future we don't know how it's going to be, but we know we won't be the same. It doesn't mean we get sad, no...
We just change.
On this woven, smeared because of doing my training runs. That's really not nice. Sometimes you can only run with spikes shoes. But then comes a firmer underground, then you can not walk with the spikes shoes anymore. But the worst thing is this mud and dirt .... I'm looking forward to the spring when it gets warmer and the running tracks are more firm and dry.
The scenic mountain range runs over 600 km in central Australia. The MacDonnell Ranges, a mountain range and an interim Australian bioregion, is located in the Northern Territory and has an area of 3,929,444 hectares. The range is a 644 km long series of mountains in central Australia, consisting of parallel ridges running to the east and west of Alice Springs. The mountain range contains many spectacular gaps and gorges as well as areas of Aboriginal significance. 300-350 million years ago a mountain building event created the MacDonnell Ranges. Since that time, folding, faulting and erosion have shaped the range and created numerous gaps and gorges. The ranges are composed of many rock types, but are most famous for their red quartzite peaks and gorges.
Simpsons Gap is one of the gaps in the West MacDonnell Ranges in Australia's Northern Territory. It is located 18 kilometres west from Alice Springs, on the Larapinta Trail. The gap is home to various plants and wildlife, including the black-footed rock-wallaby. It is the site of a permanent waterhole. The area is an important spiritual place for the Arrernte people, who have inhabited the Arrernte area since before European discovery. Simpsons Gap is known to the Arrernte as "Rungutjirpa". It was later visited by surveyor Gilbert Rotherdale McMinn in 1871 while he was searching for a better route for the Overland Telegraph Line. 16188
Yesterday after sunset in the South Eifel.
Through this agricultural landscape runs an important power line, which leads to the transformer station Niederstedem nearby.
The beautiful sunflower field is just under the power lines, so I tried to make the most of it.
Gestern nach Sonnenuntergang in der Südeifel.
Durch diese landwirtschaftlich geprägte Landschaft verläuft eine wichtige Stromtrasse, die zu dem Umspannwerk Niederstedem in der Nähe führt.
Das schöne Sonnenblumenfeld befindet sich ausgerechnet unter den Hochspannungsleitungen, so dass ich versuchte, das Beste daraus zu machen.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

For those that aren't familiar with London this is the Greenwich foot tunnel. It runs under the Thames and connects Greenwich with the Isle of Dogs, leading onto Canary Wharf a mile or two beyond. At both ends of the foot tunnel is a lift plus a set of stairs. I used to know the exact number of steps to get to street level because when I was still working my folding bicycle and I used to go through this foot tunnel twice a day and more often than not one or both of the lifts would be out of service. Not sure how reliable they are these days but what I can say is when I used it on my recent visit it was working just fine. So this is me up against the wall of the lift shooting back through the glass doors towards the tunnel just as the doors have closed.

High above Hjørundfjord at Sunnmore. The fjord runs like a giant canyon through mountainous alps. This is one of the world's most spectacular fjord, according to one of the visitors. In the end of the fjord you will find Øye. Øye has been a central location for the early tourist traffic to Norway since the end of the 1800s and first 1900s. This is a good starting point for mountain hikes. Here you will also find the famous hotel Union. The hotel stands in its former splendor and looks like it did when it opened in 1891. A few years ago the hotel got the award «One of the worlds 12 most exciting hotels».
Hoch über dem Hjørundfjord bei Sunnmore. Der Fjord verläuft wie eine riesige Schlucht durch bergige Alpen. Laut einem der Besucher ist dies einer der spektakulärsten Fjorde der Welt. Am Ende des Fjords finden Sie Øye. Øye war seit Ende des 18. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ein zentraler Ort für den frühen Touristenverkehr nach Norwegen. Dies ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Bergwanderungen. Hier finden Sie auch das berühmte Hotel Union. Das Hotel erstrahlt in seiner alten Pracht und sieht aus wie bei seiner Eröffnung im Jahr 1891. Vor einigen Jahren erhielt das Hotel die Auszeichnung «Eines der 12 aufregendsten Hotels der Welt».
Muy por encima de Hjørundfjord en Sunnmore. El fiordo corre como un cañón gigante a través de los alpes montañosos. Este es uno de los fiordos más espectaculares del mundo, según uno de los visitantes. Al final del fiordo encontrarás Øye. Øye ha sido una ubicación central para el tráfico turístico temprano a Noruega desde finales de 1800 y principios de 1900. Este es un buen punto de partida para caminatas de montaña. Aquí también encontrará el famoso hotel Unión. El hotel se encuentra en su antiguo esplendor y luce como cuando se inauguró en 1891. Hace unos años, el hotel recibió el premio "Uno de los 12 hoteles más emocionantes del mundo".
Au-dessus de Hjørundfjord à Sunnmore. Le fjord s'étend comme un canyon géant à travers les Alpes montagneuses. C'est l'un des fjords les plus spectaculaires du monde, selon l'un des visiteurs. Au bout du fjord vous trouverez Øye. Øye a été un lieu central pour le premier trafic touristique vers la Norvège depuis la fin des années 1800 et le début des années 1900. C'est un bon point de départ pour des randonnées en montagne. Vous y trouverez également le célèbre hôtel Union. L'hôtel se dresse dans son ancienne splendeur et ressemble à ce qu'il était lors de son ouverture en 1891. Il y a quelques années, l'hôtel a reçu le prix « L'un des 12 hôtels les plus passionnants au monde ».
This torrent of water runs next to a secondary road. I am told that a year and a half ago, it washed out that same road. It now drains under it, and is corralled enough to pass by a community, then leading on and out to the ocean.
Waxwing
Bombycilla garrulus
***************************************************************************
Winter visitors to the U.K. travelling here from Scandinavia when the food supply there runs low. The first waxwings of the winter are often seen in October, usually in the north of the UK and along the east coast. In irruption years the main arrival typically comes in November or later, with birds filtering slowly through the UK and forming flocks where they find suitable food.

Many thanks for your kind comments and visits.
Looks like a mini cluster of bananas! Playing around with the macro lens. Notice the water running down the left side, hence the title.

A silent evening by the Hjørundfjord at Sunnmore. The little village Urke, with only 50 inhabitants, facing on the left side of Norangsfjorden. The world 's most beautiful village at the world's most spectacular fjord, according to one of the guests. The fjord runs like a giant canyon through mountainous Sunnmørsalpene.
In the end of the fjord you will find Øye. Øye has been a central location for the early tourist traffic to Norway since the end of the 1800s and first 1900s. This is a good starting point for mountain hikes.
Here you will also find the famous hotel Union. The hotel stands in its former splendor and looks like it did when it opened in 1891. A few years ago the hotel got the award " one of the worlds 12 most exciting hotels ."
NS runs a turn job out of Richmond to the end of the line at West Point where a large paper mill operated by WestRock is the main customer. This is former Southern Railway track. The job runs six times per week with Sunday being the only daylight run.
Here they cross the Pamunkey River on a low slung turn bridge located almost mid-point of their 35-mile run. The river hosts numerous pleasure craft with the bridge opening up for larger craft.
Recently bumped from its helper duties over the Allegheny Grade and Horseshoe Curve in Pennsylvania, SD40E 6305 leads the way.
This track runs through a field edge in Somerset, it is parallel with Hollow Lane, a road that runs off a hill into the village of Montacute, Hollow Lane is now a tarmac road. In days gone by these lanes would become progressively deeper,as heavy rains washed away the soil, loosened by the action of carts. Eventually the sides of the deep lane would collapse and a new route would have to be found. I wonder if this short section was part of a deep lane that experienced a collapse and that the current Hollow Lane may be the replacement.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.
By the margin, willow veil'd,
Slide the heavy barges trail'd
By slow horses; and unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?
The Lady of Shalott by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892)

Whitsand Bay runs along the south-east coast of Cornwall from Rame Head in the east to Portwrinkle in the west. There are beautiful golden beaches at low tide but when the tide is in these are covered by the sea. Access to the beaches is limited to several narrow footpaths which wind their way down the sloping cliffs while car parking is also extremely limited. The coast road which runs along the top of the cliffs provides some of the finest sea views in Cornwall.
We drove to Zion National Park for the day. The park was so crowded with people it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. It probably seemed even more crowded to us because we have spent so much time in remote places recently. We decided to leave but on the way out happened to snag a parking spot along the road. Then we dropped down into the wash which runs below the road. We hiked a few miles along the wash and ran into very few people, most of them stayed up near the road. We found several lovely slot canyons.
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
I found this old gas station just North of the Liberty area and just outside of this station was parked this old jalopy of a truck. To make the details in this image really pop, I chose to do a three image HDR.

It had ben awhile seince I've been out to catch a sunset. thankfully I was rewarded for my effeorts last night. Sunset at Ngaruroro river, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
Plan de la Besurta, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
Ruta cuyo itinerario discurre en el entorno de las pistas de esquí nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en el Valle de Benasque. La ruta tiene su inicio en el Plan del Hospital atravesando en su recorrido bellos parajes como el Plan de Estan y el Plan de la Besurta para llegar finalmente hasta el espectacular Plan d´Aiguallut con magnificas vistas al pico Aneto. Se trata de recorrer una parte del conocido como Camino dels Aranesos que originalmente unía el Plan del Hospital con el Valle de Arán.
El recorrido se divide en tres tramos, un primer tramo muy corto y sencillo hasta el Plan de l'Estan, un segundo tramo tambien muy sencillo hasta la Besurta y un tramo final algo más exigente aunque accesible a cualquier senderista acostumbrado a la montaña hasta el Forau d´Aiguallut.
Route whose itinerary runs around the Nordic ski slopes of Llanos del Hospital in the Benasque Valley. The route begins in the Pllan del Hospital, passing through beautiful places such as the Plan de Estan and the Plan de la Besurta to finally reach the spectacular Plan d'Aiguallut with magnificent views of the Aneto peak. It involves walking through a part of what is known as the Camino dels Aranesos, which originally linked the Hospital Plan with the Aran Valley.
The route is divided into three sections, a first very short and easy section to Plan de l'Estan, a second section that is also very simple to Besurta and a final section that is somewhat more demanding although accessible to any hiker accustomed to the mountains until the Forau d'Aiguallut.
A Minuetto runs next to the old town of Ragusa, build in Sicilian Baroque, as local train to Caltanissetta Xirbi. The old town is part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage since 2002.
Spanish Chestnut leaf at the Kruidtuin Botanical Gardens in Leuven, Belgium.
I've only even been at these botanical gardens in Winter but what a great time to visit!
Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown
Congratulations to Jacinda Ardern and the New Zealand Labour Party that was a very decisive win. Nice to think some countries can elect leaders with intelligence honesty and empathy. Makes a refreshing change from lazy narcissistic clowns who believe honesty is a sign of weakness
If you like Mute Swans get yourself to Abbotsbury they have rather a lot
Abbotsbury Swannery is the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world. It is situated near the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset, England, around the Fleet Lagoon. The Fleet, besides which the swannery sits, is the largest lagoon in Europe, and runs for about 8 miles along the Dorset coast. It is brackish and tidal, but sheltered by Chesil Beach, and is a RAMSAR site of international importance and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and has been a nature reserve since as early as 1393. The swannery is at its westerly extremity.
The colony can number over 600 swans with around 150 pairs. Written records of the swannery's existence go back to 1393 but it probably existed well before that, and is believed to have been set up by Benedictine monks in the eleventh century.
Today, there are around 600 swans. They are free-flying birds and could choose to nest anywhere, but are obviously attracted by the Fleet Lagoon. Visitors can wander on small paths among the various nests, sometimes experiencing the birds' territorial displays. The swannery is open to the public between March and the end of October,
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Oak Creek runs through the foreground, which is why it's so green. I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding a high quality map of Sedona rock formations, so I don't know the names of these. HDR panorama from 50 frames.
