The Grand Tetons from Willow Flats on a fine autumn day. I am thrilled the weather has returned and a week of boring blue sky is gone.
An eastward Norfolk Southern coal train with a freshly rebuilt SD60E works at Yards on the Virginia/West Virginia border as a westward stack train heads for Williamson, West Virginia. This is very obviously Norfolk & Western territory as evidenced by the color position light signals which have since been replaced as part of PTC upgrades. While I missed out on some really cool power back in the day, I'm glad I got to see the famed Pocahontas District mainline from Bluefield to Williamson before it lost all its old signals.

Candid eye contact street photography from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The flat cap being almost synonymous with the North of England. Enjoy!
Great Salt Lake was much bigger until the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. When the salty water evaporated, salt remained on the ground. It has become this boundless salt pan. Bonneville Salt Flats is a small portion of the salt pan that used to be the lake. Its size is 12 miles by 5 miles at longest. The total area is 46 square miles (119km2). The maximum thickness of salt crust is 5 feet (150cm). Due to the weather, climate (Bs/semi-arid), and the surface being plain white, we were dazzled and weren't able to see ahead.

Also known as Coronet Court, those who understand these things will easily guess by certain art deco markers in the architecture the general period in which these flats (as we used to call them) were built in New Farm. In fact they were erected in the period 1932/33 after an existing home kind of appropriately named "Burnage" burnt down! They are quite typical of many buildings in and around this suburb of Brisbane and right opposite New Farm Park of which I posted a photo yesterday.
Part of a large flock at Alkborough Flats, Lincolnshire. Oh, for a bigger lens- and the muscles to handle it. My other half, the one with the muscles and the bigger lens, was busy nattering in the car park and never arrived at the hide! 20/10/2015
On Canadian Pacific’s scenic Windermere Subdivision, a CP coal train heads north over the causeway at Canal Flats, British Columbia, on the afternoon of June 27, 2006.
Skookum Flats is an easy almost flat hike that follows the White River meandering through a forest of Pine and Fir with lots of wonderful ferns filling in the rest. That is until you get to Skookum Falls. In a snow storm the hillside got a wee slippery so much so that at one point going down I gave up and just sat down and slid. :-)
Gertrude awaits just over two miles that a way, I saw a lady running through the snow with her dog near the trail head, after that I had the forest to myself. Great day! :-)
If you are wearing gortex blow it up and climb inside.

The El Charco de San Gines also known as San Gines Lagoon is an inner inner harbour in the town of Arrecife, Lanzarote. It is often referred to as the "Venice of Lanzarote."
Another from the way-way back machine of my archives, this image harkens back to my film days sometime in the late 90's, digitized a few years back. Original image was shot with an Olympus OM-1 and a Tamrom 90mm ƒ2.8 Adaptall mount.
During the last few kilometres of the long 343 kilometre run from Cloncurry to Winton the geomorphology of the region changes for a while as you travel through some very different country to the flat grassy plains. As a person with a lifelong intense interest in this stuff, I had been excited during the whole trip to pass through it again. Flat topped mesas are a bit of an item around Winton. They are formed when a tough layer of rock forms a cap and doesn't weather and erode over millions of years. They are also called "jump ups" around here and the Age of Dinosaurs centre on the other side of Winton is actually situated on top of one. We will get there in a couple more days.
Australia also has a number of quite large mesas, Mt. Conner is often mistaken by tourists at first distant sight on the way to Uluṟu as the actual rock; Mt. Oxley is also another large one in northern New South Wales north of Bourke.
Early morning drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Flat Rock Ridge is short hike up to a flat granite knob overlooking Linville, NC and Grandfather Mtn. (the peak to the far right)
My favorite fruit.
Flat peaches are flatter than fruit of more popular peach varieties. Their skin is yellow and red, and they are less fuzzy than many other peaches. The inside of the flat peach is white in appearance.
Flat peaches are usually sweeter than other peaches, but still have a recognizable peach taste. They are said to be more complex-tasting and flavorful, often described as possessing undertones of almond.
The flat peach originated in China, where it is known as pántáo (Chinese: 蟠桃; lit. 'coiled peach').
We have only one tree of this fantastic peach in our orchard, but I will plant another one in late autumn.
