Western Electric Lineman Test Set, circa 1950. Called a "Butt-In" by its users, this handset set was used to test telephone lines by telephone installers, repairmen, and cable splicers.

I shot this mainly to shoot something on a wider aperture so I could see if the rangefinder was working properly. It is. Kodak Medalist II, Lomography Metropolis, ECN-2 development.
What an incredible place this is. I would love to spend a lot more time here, just watching the light. I'm glad it's respected as a sacred place.
Made famous by the John Ford westerns starring John Wayne and Henry Fonda, the buttes in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Arizona form some of the most iconic landmarks in the whole USA. All tourist hyperboles set aside, the place is quite astonishing and should figure highly on any landscape lover's list.

I have watched various Bald Eagles landing in graceful and ungraceful manners. This one soaked itself on this landing.
The Butt of Lewis is the most northerly point of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The headland, which lies in the North Atlantic, is frequently battered by heavy swells and storms and is marked by the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse. The nearest populated area is the village of Eoropie, about 1 mile to the south.
Pronghorn Antelopes don't really need much camouflage since they are the fastest land mammal in North America.
This is officially the designated makeshift ashtray at the most unofficial and the most inarguably makeshift designated smoking area on the designated premises of my official place of employment.
And my co-workers and I refer to it as heaven.
Sad Story but True Story.
Good stuff.
Good times.
Bad habits.
Addendum: the most entertaining people I work with attend this spot, we're all like the high school kids that smoked right outside the fence and I love it that way.
I was in the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park briefly on a rainy evening last month (6-18-2024) but shot very little but couldn't resist spending a few minutes at the Bentonitic Clay Overlook to shoot this view looking north. I've hiked and explored a bit along the Buckhorn Trail (it traverses this view via the furthest patch of green in the distant valley) and need to go hike it again with the new gear. Even on rainy days such as this one, the saturated sedimentary layers and greenery are beautiful. All the more reason I always buy the annual NPS pass, for the returns far outweigh the expense.
I have been seeing the occasional Grasshopper around the Sneydes Rd. Paddocks.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
One of the most picturesque spots in the Sierra Nevada Range is the Sierra Buttes. This craggy, multi-pinnacled formation rises high above the Yuba River Basin in Sierra County. At 8857 feet in elevation it is the tallest peak in the Lakes Basin Region. There is actually a 4.9 mile trail that leads to the fire tower at the top. It's a steep trail that I look at with awe each time I visit here. At this point in my life, my hips will rebel before I get a quarter of a mile. Maybe in another lifetime.
Here, Lower Sardine Lake basks in all its emerald glory at the foot of the Buttes.

Au loin, tels des moutons, les volcans de la chaine des Puys sous la houlette...du berger Puy-De-Dôme!..... ;-))
Pour vous souhaiter, bientôt, une Bonne Année 2010
Les couleurs, hélas, n'étaient pas terribles, et je n'avais pas envie de N&B pour les voeux!....
