Out near the golf course by the ponds . . . . obvious evidence that our fall season is winding down. The Canadian Geese on the ponds are enjoying themselves way too much!
Why do I say that you ask? Because when they are suppose to migrate south to winter territory . . . THEY DON'T!

The famous Mam Tor winding road. Well, been after this shot for a while now. Every time ive been before its either been too cloudy, rainy, or cant even park because its that busy. Fair to say it was just a tad windy on this evening, like a full on hurricane, so had to ditch the tripod and go for the old freehand. Turned out to be one of my favourite shots, beautiful location
An overview of the Chobe River, the river of life for landlocked Botswana. I haven't shown you this view before as it isn't an area where the wildlife go. For that matter, it isn't populated by many folks either as you can see. One lone canoe is all one sees of civilization.

Butte, Anaconda, and Pacific Railway GP9 106 and GP38-2 2011 lead a train of gondolas from the BNSF and UP interchange in Silver Bow down the short branchline toward the Montana Resources copper mine in Butte, MT. The BA&P currently only serves this one customer, the Montana Resources plant, around twice a week, but once served a much greater variety of mines and smelters between Butte and Anaconda.
The railroad dates back to the 1890s and was operated under the name Rarus Railway between 1985 and 2007, after which it was officially changed back to Butte, Anaconda, and Pacific Railway under the new ownership of Patriot Rail. Amazingly, the GP9 pictured was built in 1957 for the BA&P and continues to operate for the same railroad and retains its original paint scheme to this day! (The long hood was chopped down sometime in the early 2000s, however). Between 1986 and 2003 the line currently operated by BNSF between Garrison and Butte was operated by the Montana and Western Railway, which saw the 106 and other Rarus GP9s at the time as leased power, as well as the trailing GP38-2 which is of Montana Western heritage.
The Patriot Rail owned BA&P operates at least two GP9s still wearing their original paint jobs, and aside from the copper mine business in Butte still generates revenue from storage cars. I'm unsure why there is so little coverage of this interesting little railroad, especially provided the classic power with original paint scheme. While the line is short and the railroad doesn't always run, it does offer a variety of nice, scenic spots. On this largely overcast morning, we seemed to have uncanny luck with the sun breaking through for almost every shot. Butte, MT
Back at the Agios Ioannis Monastery, the sun is shining strongly now. The grounds are beautiful with little features like this.
Another amazing Icelandic vista.
I definitely have a weakness for large landscapes. I remember vividly as a young child (around 4 or 5) seeing the mountains and lochs of the beautiful West coast of Scotland for the first time and the lifelong empathy I have had with mountains and water.
Well, Iceland is Scotland ++ in that respect and just truly breathtaking in what it offers for a landscape lover.

Uffington is a village and civil parish about 4 miles south of Faringdon and 6 miles west of Wantage. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 783. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.Wikipedia
"The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door ...... ~ The Beatles Prints available at:

Something I'll need to learn is how to shoot the moon; I really struggle capturing its face correctly, it always ends up really bright.
A quartet of Dakota & Iowa GP variants winds its way South into Chatsworth, IA, on its return from Sioux Falls, SD where the crew swapped trains with the turn job from Dell Rapids on a sunny fall evening.
Long exposures often let you see what you cannot foresee...
Here for example the rolling-up of the running water after a cascade.
