About fusion and dissolution

Nearly 152 years after the Union Pacific spiked 56 pound rail on hand-hewn ties, a hot Denver to Salt Lake City UPS train rolls through Echo Canyon, Utah on April 10, 2021. Signs of spring abound on this fine day, including brilliant sunshine, blue skies, and greening vegetation along the right of way. These grasses attempt to cloak an ever-present layer of coal cinders from passing steam powered trains, replaced by diesels more than six decades ago.

An old place I stumbled upon long ago in San Luis Valley in Colorado, USA. I always wonder, like many I'm sure, just who lived there, how long, and what were their lives like? I am sure the answer would be that they were a lot like you and I, and completely unique at the same time.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

When planning my recent trip to Utah, I found myself with a free Sunday, so I figured I'd shoot the former Rio Grande or the Union Pacific main line. Having done well on Soldier Summit before (and by "well" I mean I have seen trains, which is pretty astounding considering the lack of traffic there now), I opted to do the Union Pacific main line through Echo Canyon. "It's the UP main line!" I thought, "they're always running trains!" Well, they are, unless UP blows a train up near Rock Springs the day before. Despite the main line being almost shutdown due to the derailment, I still got one train: an eastbound at Echo Canyon. No complaints from me about this being the one train of the day.

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY!

Can you guess what breed Echo is?

I would like to catch up with everybody....

A 114-car Sparks, Nevada - North Platte, Nebraska "extra" manifest squeals around a six degree curve along the Lincoln Highway in Echo, Utah on Saturday, April 29, 2023. The old UP Park City branch once connected here, where I-84 (to Portland) and I-80 (to San Francisco) connect today. I want to live in that nifty McMansion on a hill at upper right!

You can pour the ocean into a pricey vase, but it'll stop its storming. Some call it maturity; I call it the slow death of a legend. A tangerine tastes sweeter in solitude than at a dinner table set with expectations. Remember that boy who wasn't afraid of falling? He’s waiting for you at the studio—not at the kitchen table back home.

Where winter whispers its secrets in the silence of the snowflakes... while a few places offer stops to rest, contemplate, or simply savor the moment.

 

Under a blanket of pristine snow, small houses line the winding paths, inviting you to stroll and daydream.

Every corner is an invitation to magic, tenderness, and wonder.

 

Take your time. Breathe in winter. Let yourself be enveloped.

It’s been a while since I posted a mirror selfie, so here’s one from last year.

Echo is usually on the move when she is outside - I'm reminded of the scene in the beginning of The Three Amigos as I tried to get her to look up for the camera. Look here, look here, look at me!! Managed just the one glance before she was off to play some more.

Here's a place I'd like to visit again. Very pretty, cool and comfortable. And a few thousand feet up are mountain goats.

   

is the soul of the voice exciting itself in hollow places.

People can often remind us of places, and the reverse is also true.

Memories of childhood summers in Wester Ross, and such familiar places are held dear to me.

The extraordinary beauty of the timeless landscape provides a constant echo - It sings out to absent friends.
