Echo at Hatteras, enjoying the good weather - before the Nor’easter hit and hung around for four days. Two houses collapsed in to the ocean - not the one we were in thankfully, but we were very oceanfront and very nervous as the tides whipped closer and closer with every day. We were relieved when the storm passed - until we lost all communication with the outside world thanks to the cable carrying it all being accidentally cut - on Friday the 13th no less. An emergency alert did make it to my cell phone after a few hours to say there was no way to reach anyone - including 911 - so to drive to nearest fire or medical facility in the event of an emergency….It took about 14 hours for service to be restored and of course there was another thunderstorm. We survived, so yay for that. Trips to Hatteras are never dull.

A wooden fence and woodland suggest a picturesque rural location. Appearances can be deceiving. They're actually within the front yard of a house in a densely populated suburb of Metro Atlanta.

DeKalb County (Oak Grove), Georgia, USA.

24 August 2026.

***************

🌏 Geographical/historical note:

There's a small, unnamed creek just beyond the fence. To left of frame, it flows under a suburban street into Echo Lake, an 18-acre private residential impoundment lake.

☞ “Echo Lake was built in 1938 by the Soil Conservation Service, now called the Natural Resources Conservation Service (part of the USDA). Congress passed a law establishing the SCS in 1935 stating, 'the wastage of soil and moisture resources on farm, grazing, and forest lands is a menace to the national welfare.' It was a massive national effort with most of the work done by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), and the Works Progress Administration (WPA).”

☞ “Five lakes were built with earthen dams to control flooding and prevent soil erosion in tributaries of North Fork Peachtree Creek. At the time, this was a rural area of forests and farms. Today, only Echo Lake [and a reduced Doreen Lake] remains. Prior to becoming a residential development in the 1950s, Echo Lake was a paid fishing lake.”

Echo Curve by James Belmont

66 8

According to track charts, the six degree curve at Echo, Utah, mile post 952.2 of the Evanston Subdivision is the sharpest west of Omaha, Nebraska.

No doubt there were curves as sharp or sharper than six degrees along the original transcontinental route. Over the years, 40 miles of track have been trimmed from line changes and track realignments. Due of geography, there is no practical way to reduce the six degree curve at the east end of town.

Union Pacific 8901 leads the INPOA 08 train along the Lincoln Highway into the aforementioned curve. Maximum train speed through the 102 degree arc is 35 mph, even for passenger. To add more fun, eastbound trains immediately hit a 1.14% compensated grade at the speed restricted curve, extending 24 miles to the 6,842 ft. summit at Wahsatch.

Echoes of Heritage by VERODAR

His eyes, though fixed on the present through a glowing screen, flicker with remembrance. Perhaps of a grandfather who once sat in a shop like this, flipping newspapers and greeting neighbours by name. Or of a childhood morning, waiting for breakfast at a wooden table just like this one, surrounded by the familiar creak of ceiling fans and the clink of porcelain cups.

Here, time doesn’t rush. It lingers. It echoes.

This is not just a café.

It is a living museum.

A tribute.

A bridge between the now and the never-forgotten.

Echoes of Heritage — where the past sits quietly beside us, waiting to be noticed.

Took the new lens as far as the deck - Echo paused just long enough for a quick pic. Sunshine making a nice change from all the dreary rainy weather that’s been plaguing us in the DC area

The campground in Echo Park is hidden in the boxelder trees in the center of the photo. A cairn is in the lower right corner.

It's that magical time of year at Echo Ridge. Fires are lit and cabins are warm as the snow starts to fall on the evergreen forests. Hear the ice sing under the setting sun and make a wish upon a shooting star.

Blended a number of photographs together to get the man and young girl, walking through time, on their way collect items from the rock pools near the lighthouse. I love the way this image has come together and it is quite a touching image really.
