Rail-Trails: The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail

According to the GSMNP website, Newfound Gap Road between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Cherokee, North Carolina "is the only route that completely traverses the Great Smoky Mountains National Park." Scenic overlooks along this drive offer spectacular views of the Smokies. The overlook at Newfound Gap, where this shot was made, is the highest point along this drive. It is also a place where you can stand on the dividing line between Tennessee and North Carolina.
Taken on a showery day at Wallagoot Gap. Many rocks now exposed where formerly there was a small beach with sand. In the past it has been possible to walk through the Gap to another small beach and at times onto a third beach.
Birling Gap is a coastal hamlet within the parish. It is situated on the Seven Sisters not far from Beachy Head and is owned by the National Trust. Coastal erosion has already removed some of the row of coastguard cottages built in 1878, but those that remain are still inhabited. There is a cafe, shop and visitor centre run by National Trust and a metal staircase leading down to the enclosed pebble beach and the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. In time, the houses are likely to be demolished due to the severe coastal erosion; the Government has concluded that the commercial value of the houses does not justify the construction of sea defences. If walkers are cut off at high tide, they can climb the ladder, which is replaced often, to Birling Gap.
The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!

The Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass running north-south in County Kerry, Ireland, that separates the MacGillycuddy's Reeks Mountain range in the west and the Purple Mountain Group range in the east. It is one of the most popular sites in Ireland and offers beautiful views of Ireland's gorgeous mountain terrain.
Havinng a splashing time celebrating my umpteenth bath day in the company of my eldest granddaughter, back in 2004. Of course there were no masks in those "happy days".
Tip of the day :
In order to achieve this astonishing effect, you’ll need an olympic-size bathtub with loads of suds (or snow if you're into¹ snow bathing) and you’ll also need a beautiful granddaughter! Now if you happen to be a beautiful granddaughter, then you may be looking for a granddad but, not to worry, they’re two a penny² these days.
The picture was taken by her father who was 'filling the gap', so to speak! I just titivated it a bit and called it mine; so it's not exactly a selfie but every bit as good as. It is therefore signed Kittymax & Son, he took the photo and I salvaged it but don't tell him I said that for heaven's sake!
Zoom right in, on full screen, but don't fall in!
Scroll down the page a little to see the original, patriotic version: Red, White ans Blue! Perhaps a little too patriotic; hence the B&W.
Take great care and many, many thanks for calling,
Colin ...
¹ to be into something = aimer faire quelque chose
² to be two (or ten) a penny = courir les rues

I went for a walk along Hadrian's Wall the other day, and passed by England's most photographed tree. I couldn't do a long exposure as the wind was moving the branches too much but went for a different angle to the usual at this location.
the winding, steep streets are too narrow for vehicles in many parts, while the only sound to accompany your footsteps during a stroll may be that of the call to prayer.
On a bright day, the sun's rays bounce off sandstone-coloured walls and occasionally, you'll pass by a decaying three-floored Ottoman-style home, its wood-planked walls looming precariously over the street, or the open shutters of a teahouse with a group of old men sipping cups of Cay inside.
The old cobbled streets held plenty of other surprises: unexpected glimpses of well-known structures in the gaps between the decrepit collapsing traditional houses; gravestones on the side of the road, marking an ancient cemetery; a ruined stone arch hinting at an even older structure, all interspersed with modern hotels built in the traditional Turkish style to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the streets.
Quick visit to Birling Gap beach with Caroline.
No light, bright conditions.
Think it will look good as a print though.
Had a trip to Hadrian's Wall yesterday, wanted to get a different angle of the Gap, so went for this shot as opposed to the classic front view, to be fair the cloud this was was far better than the other but still not ideal
A nice end to the day at Birling Gap. After this shot it all went downhill as the clouds completely obscured the sun.

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)

The Gap Wallagoot Far South Coast NSW. There is a narrow gap here which opens to the ocean. The water was a yellowish and dark colour. This was because there was a lot of small, dark green pieces of seaweed being washed in and the LE shows them as dark patches. A short walk from the carpark and down some wooden steps. This day, no-one else on this tiny beach. 10 stop Lee filter and 0.9 soft grad.
A sycamore tree grows in a dramatic dip with the Hadrian’s Wall rising up on either side, located at Northumberland,England.

Hope you like it! And if you do, please leave a fave!
The classic view of Sycamore Gap just before sunset. Unfortunately I’ve just read that the tree has been vandalised and chopped down. Such a terrible end for an iconic tree in an iconic location.
The scenic route home last night back across the Wicklow Gap and down toward Laragh. Beautiful evening for the drive with a few stops along the way.
Sycamore Gap
Heading back home after a day out walking near Rothbury, we stopped opposite the famous Sycamore Gap tree which had some gorgeous light covering it.

Ouverte au pied des anciens remparts de la cité, cette rue s'appela d'abord Rue Neuve jusqu'en 1894 avant de prendre le nom du président venu en 1890. Le siège de plusieurs banques, la Chambre de Commerce et de l'Industrie, la Poste Centrale, les façades soignées ainsi que les portes ouvragées indiquent que cette artère principale possède une vocation commerçante qui ne s'est jamais démentie. Sa rénovation en 1991, d'inspiration moderne, accorde une place importante aux piétons.
