Glenn Highway entering the Matanuska Valley from the north. Chugach Mountains on the south side of the valley, Talkeetna Mountains on the north side, and little Handle Mountain in the middle, a leftover remnant when the Matanuska Glacier gouged this valley some 10,000 years ago.
(some 'official' people call it Lion's Head Mountain....)
Looking close on Friday theme: Mug Handle

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
I so wanted there to be 4 candles...
For those who haven't a clue what I mean simply search for ... Four candles on you tube
Ronnie Barker, sadly missed.
I picked up this little antique footstool many years ago - my mother upholstered it at least 30 years ago - patchwork, to go with a rocker we once had. We called it the rolling pin for obvious reasons - the rolling pin handles!
The theme for Macro Mondays is Handle With Care, so I did a two-fer - a dirty box cutter blade in a crystal bowl.
A bit of a DIY effort for this weeks challenge. I made the mini boxes and a lightcube to shoot within.
The mini cardboard boxes were designed in Adobe Illustration, using a handwritting style font for the text. The net was printed onto kraft paper using my inkjet printer.
I made the lightcube from foamboard and sheets of tracing paper. Cheap LED worklights from Screwfix were used to illuminate the cube.
For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Handle with Care' challenge 26th September 2016.
The vintage handles and lock of the front door of a 1958 apartment building in Kypseli, Athens, Greece. Back then they built them to last.
IC #6252 and company are almost finished dumping their fresh loads of taconite on Dock 6 as the sky's pinks and purples fade to dark blues and the lights across the harbor in Superior begin to twinkle. The dock loads ships via a conveyor belt system or gravity-feed; the conveyor belt system can load 10,000 tons of iron ore pellets onto a ship per hour. With marine shipping closed for the winter season though, the taconite will get added to the massive stockpiles (frame left) and get shipped out in the spring when the harbor opens up again.
Of the six docks, the first was originally built on the Superior side of the harbor in 1892. The Duluth Mesabi & Northern Railway built their first wooden ore dock here the next year in 1893. As ore mining exploded on the Mesabi Iron Range into the next decade, the railroad built larger and more advanced ore docks to accommodate the steam freighters that were increasing in size.
By World War One, there were four ore docks almost a half-mile long operating here alongside smaller docks for receiving coal and limestone. The adjacent and inactive Dock 5 was built back 1914 while Dock 6 was indeed the sixth and final dock built at this location in 1918. Over time, the smaller, wooden ore docks were retired and deconstructed while the steel docks remained.
To the very far right is CN's Hallett Dock, used for both outgoing and incoming cargos. Various products are handled here from bentonite clay and limestone, both used in the taconite production process.

Rangierfahrt im Hafen Anklam, aus voriger Zugfahrt Bebra - Rostock-Seehafen - Anklam. In Rostock wurde der - mit Düngemittel beladene Zug - auf Diesel umgespannt. Zum Einsatz kam die 233 478, die zu der Zeit gefühlt jede Sonderleistung ab Rostock bespannte. Die zweiachsigen Td-Wagen sind heute nahezu verschwunden und es übernehmen ausschließlich private EVU den Düngerverkehr nach Anklam und Grimmen.
Shunting run in the port of Anklam, from the previous train run Bebra - Rostock seaport - Anklam. In Rostock, the train - loaded with fertilizer - was switched to diesel. It was hauled by 233 478, which at the time seemed to cover every special service from Rostock. The two-axle Td wagons have almost disappeared today and only private rail transport companies and fertilizer transport to Anklam and Grimmen is handled exclusively by private rail companies.
El tema de esta semana (25 de Noviembre) es "Asa de Taza"
The theme for this week (on November 25) is "Mug Handle"
The Flemish Giant rabbit (Dutch: Vlaamse reus) is the largest breed of domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus). They weigh 6.8 kilograms (15 lb) on average, though the largest ones can weigh up to 22 kilograms (49 lb). Historically they are a utility breed used for their fur and meat. In the modern day, they are no longer commonly raised for meat, due to their slow growth and very large bones, and are raised for exhibition at rabbit shows. They are often kept as pets as they are known for being docile and patient when being handled.
The glass handle on the glass lid of on old crock pot. We don't use it for cooking, we use it to store unshelled peanuts in. My wife found me with my camera, in a dark room, hunched over the lid that was balanced on top of a flashlight. She just rolled her eyes, sighed and said with resignation, "Just don't break the thing,."
