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.
A cacophony of groans, squeals, and thumps fill the air as the Grand Rapids Eastern crosses the worn Flat River Bridge in Lowell, MI. The crew is busy switching the railroad's largest customer, King Milling, situated on the banks of the Flat River. The 600' wooden bridge, which carried the C&O's Turkey Trail across the Flat River, is quite unique in that it spans an island in the middle of the river. Researching the bridge has provided little information, so if anyone knows more about this unique structure, please let me know!
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.
After a week of normal temperatures in the mid20s we are back into the 30s again *sigh*. The cats, especially old boy Kaiser, are not enjoying it one bit. He will be 18 years old on Thursday.
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.
Just took my second visit to Spruce Flat Falls in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A really beautiful waterfall luckily photographed in nearly perfect conditions. I only had to deal with some light breeze created by the waterfall itself.
The hike is about 2.2 miles roundtrip and is of moderate difficulty.

Monaro Highway - the high country - fine merino wool country - stopped to do a sketch of this shearing shed - it was so cold and windy - but I managed to get it on paper. I have driven past a number of times and said to myself - stop and do this!

Near the Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache, the salt of a dried-up lake forms amazing honeycomb patterns.
The Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache are a group of 7 pools averaging 5 meters in diameter and up to 6 meters deep with a very high salinity (about 220 g/l).
They are located in the remains of a dried-up salt lake southwest of San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and can only be approached by car via a 45-kilometer dirt road.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
The saga continues. I was given a price range for the data recovery on my drive. A price range that I accepted. I'm now being told it will be double to top limit of that range and it feels very much like my photos are being held to ransom. I am going to have to sell some camera gear to cover the cost of recovering my photos from the past year. There is no way around that. Yes. I am furious. Oh, the job is no more difficult than was expected or explained to me and the condition of my HDD was known and accepted before I was given the price range. Please, everyone, backup your work.
Thank you all for your kind comments and favourites on my photography. Please forgive the soft focus on the 'lead' eye in this shot. I just pulled a handful of shots off my photo drive before I had to drop it off. Enjoy.
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 Æ’2.8 Adaptall mount.
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)
This reservoir is in the Sierra foothills outside of Fresno. There isn't much water in the reservoir this time of year, but I loved the thunderheads that were forming the high country. This view is looking towards Kings Canyon National Park and you can still see the smoke from the wildfire that has been burning for the last three months.

Another Light Trail shot from my last morning in NYC, this time of the Flat Iron Building, again using the Live Composite mode. This trip was the first time I had used this particular mode, despite having had the camera for over 18 months. It’s great for these types of shots as it takes the guess work out as you can see the image build up on the screen and just close the shutter when you’re satisfied 😀
I had hoped for a clearer sky in order to get some colour as the sun came up. Unfortunately it it was just leaden skies which then turned to rain, which was nice (not).
