The River Ver in Hertfordshire is a chalk stream and has cut, modestly I should say, into the surrounding limestone - just enough to create a path through the Chiltern Hills, and enough for the Romans to build a road here connecting London with the North. The history of the village of Markyate is entirely shaped by this road (and its successors) and all the functions relating to the transport of goods and people. Some houses such as these ones in the foreground have crept up the flanks of the river ("Pickford Hill" in this case), but most stayed down in the valley ground. Up on the hills you would find farms and agriculture. It is also true that small industries have moved in - together with lots of interesting people who decided to leave the big city.

Das Owens Valley ist das ca. 120 km lange Tal des Owens River im Mono und Inyo County im Süd-Osten von Kalifornien (USA). Es verläuft von Norden nach Süden zwischen der Sierra Nevada im Westen und den White Mountains im Nordosten beziehungsweise den Inyo Mountains im Südosten. Im Süden wird das Tal durch den Owens Lake, einen heute ausgetrockneten Salzsee begrenzt. Im Norden entspringt der Owens River in der Long Valley Caldera, einem vulkanischen Kratersystem. Durch das Tal führt U.S. Highway 395, an ihm liegen von Süden nach Norden Lone Pine, Independence (Sitz der Verwaltung des Inyo County), Big Pine und als größter Ort des Tals Bishop.
Parker Ridge Trail is a very much recommended trail along the Icefield's Parkway. Marked out as a "must-do" hike both by my Lonely Planet Guide and a local tour guide, this short hike was incredibly rewarding. (Please follow the marked trail, to help avoid erosion)
Thanks to the Icefield's Parkway, you get a head start - parking your car at an altitude of 2025 metres. 2-2,5 km later you have climbed about 250 metres higher, and has a splendid view over the Saskatchewan Glacier and the glacier valley below.
The Saskatchewan glacier is the largest outflow glacier from the Columbia Icefield. As many other glaciers, it is in decline. The Saskatchewan Glacier has retreated a lot, as seen in the photos on this page:

Penn Valley is a nice little rural community located in the lower foothills of Nevada County. This is ranching land with properties sporting some combination of cattle, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, and any other critters on four legs.
What I like most about the area however, is its landscape of shaggy oaks scattered amongst the rolling hills and pastures. If it weren't so darn hot during the summer months, I think I'd politic Marg to move down here. As it is, my band practices in Penn Valley, so I guess that will have to be enough. Them farm animals really appreciate a snappy tune.

Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres (19,000 ha) located 16 miles (26 km) south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.[5] It is Nevada's oldest state park, as commemorated with Nevada Historical Marker #150. It was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas.

View of the valley from the top of one of the highest hills in Overijssel, The Netherlands.
An hour after sunrise, the mist began to clear from the valley. Light fell across the landscape, revealing colours that were muted and soft. The old oak tree seemed content to offer its crown as a stage for the morning's first performance, a song by the smallest of birds.
Valley is a residential and office complex in the district of Zuidas in Amsterdam. It consists of three towers of different heights (the highest is 100 m tall), The towers are located on top of the lower floors and are connected to each other by means of a 'valley' of ascending terraces. Valley was designed by Winy Maas and Piet Oudolf and completed in 2021.
Taken well after sunrise with the mist still lingering in the valley. Behind is Back Tor and Lose Hill.

Winter morning in Yosemite Valley floor. Through the snow covered branches is the Merced River with the Three Brothers in the background.
The Elan Valley Reservoirs are a chain of man-made lakes created from damming the Elan and Claerwen rivers within the Elan Valley in Mid Wales. The reservoirs, which were built by the Birmingham Corporation Water Department, provide clean drinking water for Birmingham in the West Midlands of England. The five lakes are known as the Claerwen, Craig-goch (this one), Pen-y-garreg, Garreg-ddu, and Caban-coch
The sea fret had been building up all day and worked it's way up to Devils Dyke. The mist was rolling down between valleys - it was stunning.
I captured this barn by accident. I was trying to capture the sundog for my dad... we were driving, I really didn't expect to get a nice shot. As I was going through my photos I saw this barn in my sundog photo and had to make it work. The sky that night was so cool, I couldn't stop shooting, I don't even remember taking this one tbh lol I don't think it's perfect but I wanted to add it to my barn album. :) happy Saturday! Definitely view large!!
I had heard that name before from stories my gran used to tell me of her travels but I had no idea where it was. In December I decided to plan a little road trip to Cape Town which included a stop to find little gems in the Karoo and the Valley of Desolation jumped out at me. We ended up staying in a beautiful mystical little town called Nieu Bethesda which we fell in love with immediately. We headed to Graaff Reinet at sunset to see the balancing columns of Dolerite which makes up the Valley of Desolation also known as ‘Cathedral in the mountains’. Its that type of view that makes you want to stop, sit down and just gaze in silence and awe.
Experience the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Valley of Desolation with my stunning pen drawing illustration. Capturing the rugged and dramatic landscape of this unique and iconic South African destination, this illustration is a true work of art. The intricate details and expert linework bring the majestic cliffs and towering rock formations to life, while the muted tones and natural colour palette create a sense of serenity and tranquillity.
Curral das Freiras (Valley of the nuns) is a small village situated in the crater of an extinct volcano. Santa Clara Convent used this area as a hiding place from pirates who were attacking city of Funchal in 16th century.
This is a view into the valley below Machu Picchu, Peru. To get to Machu Picchu, you have to get to Ollantaytambo usually by road. It's also on the Inca Trail which requires a four day hike from Cusco to MP. The modern town of Ollantaytambo is built on the foundations of the old Incan town and features a large important archeological site of its own. From there you take a train down the valley following the Urubamba River for about one and half hours to the modern town of Michu Picchu at the bottom of the valley. On the way the climate changes from arid to semitropical cloud forest. From there you take a bus for about 40 minutes which climbs an unpaved switchback road with hairpin turns up to the top of the mountain from the river at the bottom. It's a hair raising ride. The week before we were there a bus lost control and plunged from one level of the road to the level below; over 20 people suffered broken bones or worse. They space the visitors out so you have a reserved window of time so you have to arrive by that time or you don't get in. It was a full 12 hour day to get there and back. We got back to Ollantaytambo about 8:30pm.
It wasn't supposed to be nice this morning, but when it surprisingly turned out sunny and beautiful I figured I'd grab a few shots. The engine house door is open at the Providence and Worcester Railroad's Valley Falls yard ready for locally based PR3's crew to start their day.
The first order of business will be to double GP38-2 2008 over to sister 2006 on the adjacent track. Both units are original to the road having been built new for the then only 7 year independent company by EMD in Dec. and Feb. 1980 respectively), and they still proudly wear their red and brown colors despite being a member of the Genesee and Wyoming family for more than six years already.

An overview of Lehigh Valley’s Bethlehem Engine Terminal reveals a variety of power in various states of readiness. As an SW1 leaves the turntable and heads out to work, two RS-11’s are on one of the turntable tracks, and the cab of an RS-3 can be seen in the servicing area. Farther out on the servicing tracks, a set of C420’s is being reconfigured, while a Reading/B&O power set is on the ready track. This power came in on train NE-84, and will take NE-87 to Potomac Yard after it arrives in the Lehigh Valley.
