New Mini Challenge # 209 ~ The Award Tree ~

~ Red Treatment! ~ The Award Tree ~

I was a highwayman

Along the coach roads I did ride

With sword and pistol by my side

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade

The bastards hung me in the spring of '25

But I am still alive

Found this barn just as it was reaching the golden hour. Had to stop and make an image. Glad I did, I love old barns.

Mist Mountain is just another stunning peak seen along the southern part of the Kananaskis trail (Bighorn Hwy).

Thanks Raya for identifying this slanted mountain. You do know your Kananaskis well. Much appreciated.

Thanks as well to the other suggestions. So many prominent peaks here.

Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!

This is an image I have wanted to attempt for a number of years now. It is strangely adjacent to a major highway and a challenge to achieve. However, this time it appeared possible to go for it. In the past we have always been busily racing home from an outing and the timing was always wrong with a car full of family.

Now, I was on my own and the highway was not too busy. Part of the challenge is just stopping because the highway shoulder is barely wide enough. Cars are whizzing by at 120K. However, the conditions were right to grab this shot and this is the result.

Reminded me of this song from the TV show, "Then Came Bronson" in the 70's.

Going down that long lonesome highway

Bound for the mountains and the plains

Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me

And I got some friends I'd like to see

One of these days I'm gonna settle down

But till I do I won't be hanging round

Going down that long lonesome highway

Gonna live life my way

One of these days I'm gonna settle down

But till I do I won't be hanging round

Going down that long lonesome highway

Gonna live life my way

Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway

Gonna live life my way

From the Midland Highway, somewhere near Tunbridge, Tasmania.

I took quite a few shots here of the hillside with some great cloud formations at this location. This shot was me attempting to get the lighting right, with the intention of cropping the bottom third out of the image (metering seemed to lock into the sky resulting in horribly under-exposed foreground detail, even with compensation with metering), but the juxtaposition between the road and the barren plains and hill worked for me.

in southern Alberta. The winds were up to 120 kph on that trip.

This is the view down the road from the near the east side of the Bridge over the North Fork of the Shoshone just before the Clearwater Campground west of Cody Wyoming. The hill south of the highway is where we stopped to take the grandkids sledding. The rocks on the hillside belong to the Absaroka Volcanics which are Eocene in age.

Bored of winter already, resorting to playing with some photos from the summer that I hadn't used yet.

Scenic drive along the Richardson Highway Alaska, with Mt. Sandford outstanding on a heavenly landscape.
