A rest stop during a pan-African truck trip. Here, the women had been on the road for 10 months. Note their (by then, other priorities having been discovered) grubbiness. See also:

Empty hills and long lineups for evening skiing at this lift didn't make a lot of sense until I realized the lift was stopped - presumably because someone getting off at the top fell.
On my drive back to Prince George last night I came upon a farm field just south of Quesnel with a small group of Sandhill Cranes. The light was seriously waning, but I loved the look of the row of trees in the background on the edge of the bluff (over the Fraser River valley).
second, to catch his breath.

Taken at the Railroad Museum of PA in Strasburg. I was trying to capture the motion of the walking visitors against the stillness of the photographer.
The view from the then new Cromwell Avenue bridge at Sankey Old Hall. 47597 speeds towards the Warrington stop on the former Cheshire Lines Liverpool - Manchester route with the 10.52 Liverpool - Newcastle. Behind me is the Junction for access into Burtonwood Airbase and the perimeter fence can be seen on the right, November 29th 1989.
* RAF Burtonwood was opened during WWII in 1940 but transferred to the USA in 1942. At one time 18,000 service men and women were on site and it became the largest airfield in Europe. The base was returned to the RAF after the war had ended.
The U.S. Department of Defence returned to Burtonwood in 1966 when France withdrew its military support for NATO. Burtonwood was used as a receiving depot for USAF and United States Army equipment and supplies being withdrawn from their former French NATO facilities. Afterwards, the US Army took over the base and renamed it Burtonwood Army Depot.
The Army developed Burtonwood into a storage and forward supply depot operated by the 47th Support Group. The main warehouse was described as the largest building under a single roof in Europe. The idea was that in the event of an emergency, U.S. troops in the USA that were earmarked for NATO service in Europe would fly over and pick up their kit from Burtonwood before going on to the battle front. It was never tested for this eventuality, although the base provided service functions for the 1991 Gulf War.
When the Cold War ended, Burtonwood Army Depot was declared excess to NATO requirements and was closed in June 1994.
* The new Warrington West station is located beyond where the second bridge is in the distance.
This song leaks out onto the pavement
It could be a joke, it could be a statement
The more that I fake it and pretend I don't care
The more you can read in to what isn't there
Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at What I should do and where I should be But no-one will give me a map
I'll leave now this can't continue
But I forget which door I came through And I know what the lift can be painfully slow
So I'm happy to leave by the window ...

Protesters taking part in the "ICE Out for Good" event in Vero Beach, Florida on January 10, 2026. A peaceful protest expressing outrage at the murder of Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7, 2026. Resist!
In the summer of 1982, somewhere in Wyoming, Patty, my long-suffering wife, changes spark plugs on our Mercury Comet. The car was reliable as an anvil in city driving. Unfortunately, sustained highway driving sent oil consumption through the roof. Spark plugs fouled with deposits in as little as 250 miles. We got very skilled at changing spark plugs on a hot engine. Starting at cylinder number one, pull the dirty plug (being careful because it’s super hot), replace it with a clean one, replace spark plug wire; repeat five more times, then check the oil. Top up as needed. Later, the dirty plugs were cleaned and gapped for their next turn in the engine. We had three sets of spark plugs in the rotation. Our 6,000 mile round trip from San Francisco to New York was otherwise uneventful.
We stopped off the route in another lake. We were cooking in front of the lake when the Perseids started to fall over the orange sky.
Then, we laid down on the floor, looking the sky, in one of the most beautiful moments of the trip.
In the morning, at 6am, thunders got up early. We had enough time to kept our baggage and got out of the Verdon Gorges. A furious and hard storm pushed us to another places, but we had the beauty of the lakes and the greenish in our heads forever.
