Historic three-span Pratt through truss railroad bridge over the Clinch River near Clinchport in Scott County, Virginia. The bridge was built in 1909 by the Virginia Bridge and Iron Company.
These are the three ancient stones which give the nearby village of Trellech its name, which in Welsh means exactly that: Three Stones. However the stones were there long before the village as it is known now - as far back as the Bronze Age - and it is believed they were probably part of a stone circle. No-one seems to know how they got their name of Harold's Stones though.

First attempts with Macro. In this picture of Japanese Beetles I was using a Tokina 105 mm macro lens with a Kenko 36 mm extension tube on a tripod with a Nikon SB800 overhead flash. Need to play with various combination of the tubes to get more familiar with them.

Went backpacking over the weekend. A nice hike in, I forgot how painful it is and how young I use to be. Great trip with a great group of friends. This is the view from our campsite. Amazing to wake up to.
I do recommend a larger view. ;)
I had taken a short break in the shade near the Japan pavilion in the World Showcase of EPCOT Center and saw this view of the towers of three different continents. It's not the best shot but I thought it was unique and wonder if there is another way to compose and capture something similar.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
almost three weeks old, & the blue is definitely a boy -- still not sure of the gender of the two lavenders
The hike began with a boat ride to the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp. We follow the Redfish Lake Creek trail southwest as it climbs gently and steadily to the Alpine Lake (of Redfish Creek) turnoff. Take the left fork and continue south past an unnamed pair of lakes. At 6 miles, the trail arrives at Lower Cramer Lake, elevation 8340', the smallest of the three Cramers. Middle Cramer Lake has a waterfall. Upper Cramer is the largest of the threesome.
Three of the Pennine Peaks can be seen here. From left to right (or is it south to north?) - Ingleborough (723m), Pen-y-Ghent (694m) and Whernside (736m) depicted here from the decending path of the "Pennine Way" on the western side of Fountains Fell in North Yorkshire. 16 January, 2012.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

I must have been 7 or 8 years old when I made this - so some 60 years ago.
