Here we see WAMX 4182 and WAMX 4177 leading an uncommon daylight T005 as they work their way off the Lake Monona causeway and onto Madison's Isthmus for the final few miles to the yard at Johnson Street. At this point, seen from the Monona Terrace, T005 is strung out around the connector at Monona Tower and over the junction with the Prairie Sub at Broom Street.
The area around Monona Tower is the convergence of the Madison, Reedsburg, and Prairie subdivisions. The Madison Sub crosses the Reedsburg Sub at Monona Tower. From there, the Madison Sub continues until the junction with the Prairie Sub at Main Street. The Prairie Sub begins here at Broom Street. Both Broom and Main street switches are radio controlled whose normal positions are lined for the Reedsburg Sub and Prairie Sub respectively. The connecting track between the Reedsburg and Madison subdivisions at Monona Tower has a pair of spring switches whose normal positions are lined for movement from the Madison Sub to the Reedsburg Sub and vise versa.
At one time, there were four tracks and a two-lane road between the buildings and the lake. The two northern tracks were for the Milwaukee and the two southern tracks were for the CNW. This was eventually consolidated to two tracks, and then finally one track during the construction of the Monona Terrace in 1994.
The Longji Rice Terraces (Longsheng Rice Terraces) filled with luscious rice crops can be seen from September through October. After that, crops are harvested and the terraces are transformed into a photogenic mirror-like landscape when farmers irrigate the land.
Flooding the land and retaining the water by building risers protected by fodder grasses allows the soil to soften in preparation for the next planting season.

Sometimes it's nice to sit at a beautiful terrace, talking to your friends, while waiting for a cup of coffee.
A terraced shelf cloud races across the rolling hills of northeast Colorado - 5 June 2015. Tornado-warned storms that we had chased and photographed earlier in the day were gradually giving way to linear storms adorned by beautiful, wind-lofted structures such as this. The tire tracks on the wet, sandy road show where I started to drive north for a better view—only to find that the road was likely to be too treacherous for safe driving.

I noticed this on yesterday's walk - fits in very well with the many terraced houses in our neighbourhood

Bleakstone Terrace, Somewhereville's most austere apartment complex was designed during the 1950's by the Soviet architect, Yevgeny Plosk who was quoted as saying “this structure will survive longer than your optimism.” Reasonably priced, Bleakstone Terrace doesn't offer luxury--only acceptance. Some poor lost soul carved above the peeling entryway, the words: “You’ll Get Used to It.”
