Banners, one with eyes, reflecting in the surf and some soft wave crests topped by sand make for an abstract.
While not a long walk, it's a steep one. I constantly asked myself why I was doing this. I was on vacation, for god's sake!

Every winter I make the journey north to photograph the Crested Tits as they come down to feed on the lower branches . In the Spring through to autumn the Cresties feed higher up in the canopy and means winter will afford much better opportunities to photograph them, often down at eye level,an opportunity I cannot resist.

Looking S from this well-placed higher location at the Otter Crest Marine Reserve and a portion of Cape Foulweather.
The iconic "Punchbowl" is located on the 2nd, longest peninsula. Much to enjoy and admire along this stretch of the Oregon Coast.
I appreciate your taking a look, and for any comments, faves and suggestions.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

a few people embark on a sightseeing trip on the river.
during the pandemic, this industry is also struggling.
at least people still have fun fixing a christmas tree to the bow.
Crest of Mount Rainier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
At 14,411 feet [4392 meters] the crest of Tahoma/Rainier is typically covered in snow year round. But the heat waves this summer have melted most of the snowpack, leaving more rock exposed than I have ever seen on this mountain. I have been sad to see it looking so bereft, but it has also offered a very different view of the mountain, especially when seen up close.
When clad in its usual protective vesture of snow, the mountain seems aloof, maintaining an air of mystery and distance. It asks for deference and awe and is granted that without a thought.
Shorn of that icy impenetrable surface, the layers beneath are fully exposed. The mountain seems approachable, touchable, vulnerable. It permits an intimacy of acquaintance that previously seemed impossible.
And there is a beauty in those revelations, in those bare contours that entice the eye and speak of untold years. One feels there must be a multitude of stories in those lines and folds and shadowed spaces.
I fervently hope that once the snow returns it will remain as it should and I will not see those rocks again. Yet somehow it changes things, when one has seen the long kept secrets a formerly forbidding mountain holds inside. I will always know what I have seen there. I wonder if the mountain knows?

Eastbound ZLAME 09 is about to crest the summit of Beaumont Hill in the late afternoon. The overpass just west of Beaumont provides some nice views of trains on the final mile of their ascent eastward.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Cresting the summit of Raccoon Mountain is CSX Q647-04 being led by one of the few CSX Tier 4 ACe's. 12/05/2020
Despite its prominent crest, no mention of this feature appears in the name of the yellow-vented bulbul (pycnonotus goiavier). Photographed in Khao Lak, Thailand. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Just a simple little shot from lonely southeast Nevada amidst the sagebrush and pinion pines.
We are at the highest point on the Union Pacific Railroad's Caliente Sub, but this grossly overpowered train with two SD70Ms leading a pair of GEs has had no trouble climbing the 2% grade with this tiny train of just over 1000 ft on their headpin. I'm unsure of the symbol, but despite the warm evening light this is actually an eastbound train as the line orients slightly northwest here at the 5962 ft summit aptly known as Crestline. This is MP 494.5 on the old Los Angeles and Salt Lake Route and is the second highest point on the line bested only by Boulter Summit in Tintic, UT which is about 110 ft higher some 200 miles to the northeast on the Lynndyl Sub.

Once again it is harvest time. Fields become our playground for interesting photos with patterns and rolled bales of hay. I wanted to create an image that contained 3 elements. Starting with a foreground, the fencing, a mid area, the bails and a background, the lines of freshly harvested work.
I noticed the farming tractor making his rounds and waited with my image in place. As he crested the horizon I took a few shots and chose this one given his position. It took a long time to get it right but unfortunately I have the time.
