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.

Half relief terraced houses from the Kingsway Models range of card kits, with Standard Nine car passing by.
Sometimes it's nice to sit at a beautiful terrace, talking to your friends, while waiting for a cup of coffee.
on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet.

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.

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.”

Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Because of the huge amount of geothermal vents, travertine flourishes. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas. The hot water that feeds Mammoth comes from Norris Geyser Basin after traveling underground via a fault line that runs through limestone and roughly parallel to the Norris-to-Mammoth road. The limestone from rock formations along the fault is the source of the calcium carbonate. Shallow circulation along this corridor allows Norris' superheated water to slightly cool before surfacing at Mammoth, generally at about 170 °F (80 °C). Algae living in the warm pools have tinted the travertine shades of brown, orange, red, and green. Thermal activity here is extensive both over time and distance. The thermal flows show much variability with some variations taking place over periods ranging from decades to days. Terrace Mountain at Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-depositing spring in the world. The most famous feature at the springs is the Minerva Terrace, a series of travertine terraces. The terraces have been deposited by the spring over many years but, due to recent minor earthquake activity, the spring vent has shifted, rendering the terraces dry. The Mammoth Terraces extend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River. The Mammoth Hotel, as well as all of Fort Yellowstone, is built upon an old terrace formation known as Hotel Terrace. There was some concern when construction began in 1891 on the fort site that the hollow ground would not support the weight of the buildings. Several large sink holes (fenced off) can be seen out on the Parade Ground. This area has been thermally active for several thousand years. The Mammoth area exhibits much evidence of glacial activity from the Pinedale Glaciation. The summit of Terrace Mountain is covered with glacial till, thereby dating the travertine formation there to earlier than the end of the Pinedale Glaciation. Several thermal kames, including Capitol Hill and Dude Hill, are major features of the Mammoth Village area. Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found. In Gardner Canyon one can see the old, sorted gravel bed of the Gardner River covered by unsorted glacial till. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth_Hot_Springs]
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]
