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!
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

The Gap is located in the Sydney suburb of Watsons Bay, and is formed by Sydney Sandstone. The Gap's warm yellow-brown colour is due to oxidation of the stone. There are various lookouts along this cliff, giving magnificent views of the coastline.
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 Parowan Gap Petroglyphs are located about 9 miles west of Parowan, Utah and about 20 miles north of Cedar City. The site has a spectacular array of rock art etched onto numerous boulders and cliff faces on both sides of the gap from one end to the other. Due to its significance as an archeological resource the site was placed on the National Resister of Historic Places in 1969.
The last of the light at Birling Gap a few weeks ago. The light streak above the horizon on the right is a ship heading towards Newhaven Harbour.
Thanks for viewing :-)
Rocky cliffs in Sydney - known as 'The Gap.' Now closed off to the public due to the danger of falling.
Completed in 1931, the Pittsburgh & West Virginia’s mainline to Connellsville became the final link in creating the famed “Alphabet Route”, which was designed to attract through-traffic off of the big time railroad empires of the century. After the fall of Robert Gould’s empire, the plan to expand had faded off. Years later, under new receivership was the mainline revitalized.
There was nothing wasted when it came to designing and laying this route, bulldozing through every hill and filling every land gap with these enormous steel viaducts. Having seen so many photos growing up and shooting it dozens of times, this line remains to be a favorite in my books, and in my opinion, one of the most photogenic lines on the East coast.
In this picture, Wheeling’s 618 job stretches their consist over Mingo Creek, probably the most iconic location on the entire route.
Interestingly enough, in April of 2025, this exact scenario had occurred. The 6348, 6354, and engines for SWP led this same job, in similar conditions, almost a year ago. Though I was not present for the April run, it’s an odd feeling to see this scene repeated almost verbatim, in a time where uncertainty rests upon this railroad. These coke trains really do have a special spot in my heart, and so the addiction to shooting them continues.
The high-rise building on Kasernenstraße in Düsseldorf, right next to the restaurant ‘ALEX’, is called GAP 15. It is a modern office complex consisting of a high-rise building and a low-rise building.
Docklands Light Railway, Canning Town
The structure immediately behind the train is a 'head house' giving maintenance access and ventilation for the Underground's Jubilee Line which runs beneath.
The building in the background is Douglass Tower.
I found some old and unruly Beech trees in a local wood, this one has crossed over to the other side with it's roots bridging a gap in the collapsed stone wall.
