I would like to share my photo taken in northern part of Japan, Hokkaido.
Though it's only two days' travel, I felt as if I were there for 10 days more. It means I was totally refreshed!!
I hope you do a deep breath with me when you are in this Hokkaido stream ; )
Today, I chose this picture as a starting point of my Hokkaido stream.

Parked on the lead to the Columbia County Grain Growers, Inc, elevators, a mismatched pair of locomotives await their next assignment near Dayton, Washington. SW1 504, still tagged for WRL and GP49 2802, of Alaska Railroad heritage (and number) and still wearing Frontier Rail livery but patched for Columbia Rail, stand on the lead to the run-through track at the elevator. The line continues for about another mile before ending in the town of Dayton, Washington. There was a great cloud show this day over this region.
Seen in Captol Reef N.P. along Grand Wash, a spur road off the 10 mile Scenic Drive which follows along what's known as the Waterpocket Fold.
This fold, a giant buckle in Earth's crust, stretches across south-central Utah, is home to an eroded jumble of colorful cliffs, massive domes, soaring spires, stark monoliths, twisted canyons and graceful arches. It is also the home of the free-flowing Fremont River. There are also two unpaved spur roads, suitable for passenger vehicles, which lead into the Grand Wash and Capitol Gorge
We visited there from Escalante, Utah, along SR 12, where we stayed for about a week, using it as a jumping off point to visit various National and State Parks, including this one, Capitol Reef National Park. (12-03-24-7636)
One of my favorite back roads. The morning fog was just starting to lift as I drove down Turri road. I watched in delight as moving bands of light painted the fields. I never tire of this drive home.
Souter piont. After a really wet day yesterday the next morning looked quite promising for a sunrise photo. I decided to go to Souter Point, south end of Jackies beach, Whitburn, to see what I could conjure up. I'm lacking inspiration at the moment, so I struggled with a composition. Using the beach peebles as a lead in I've focus stacked to get the cliff in the background sharper.

Ghost lead inspired figure. I am aware that the lead in the game is African American, but unfortunately at the time I made these I couldn't get a hold of one of Vic's recon heads in black so I used the dark flesh lookin' one.

Santa Fe eastbound T/COFC, lead by four C30-7 units (8119….), is dropping down "Curtis Hill" towards its crossing of the Cimarron River. Shortly after that crossing it will stop for a crew change at Waynoka. Now most (or all?) of this part of the Chicago-California "Transcon" consists of two main tracks, but Santa Fe did a decent job of keeping lots of trains moving in both directions even on this single track railroad. Closely spaced long sidings with 40mph turnouts, and expert dispatching, was certainly a factor…I just remember that I hardly ever saw a train stopped!
Penn Central GP30 # 2226, ex NYC U30B # 2875 & ex NH # U25B # 2664 lead a westbound manifest freight train on express track past tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1971. A clearly lettered New Haven Railroad box car is coupled to the last locomotive, and it is followed by a Burlington box car. A colorful PC letter scheme is applied to the lead GP30 locomotive. Bob Hughes was able to take this photo from his location at tower SS38.
Ancient cobblestone pathways in the Old Town lead the way to one of Geneva's unique sights, the Chapel of the Maccabees. This colorful Gothic influenced chapel is located in the south-west wing of the St. Pierre's Cathedral. It was built in the 15th century as a tomb for Jean de Brogny and his family, a cardinal who served under Pope Clement VII.
History of the chapel
Chapel of the Maccabees or the Notre-dame collegial chapel was converted into a warehouse during the Reformation to store salt and gunpowder, but by the end of the 17th century, it was used as the venue for lectures on philosophy by the Academy, a predecessor of Geneva University. This period saw a change in the layout of the chapel, as they built three other interior floors to accommodate the masses. Today, visitors can attend concerts that are held in this historic building and it is even used for weddings and family ceremonies.
Architecture
The chapel was renovated in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. The chancel vault was redecorated displaying the celestial chorus theme that reflected the original frescoes of its glorious past, a time before austerity was introduced by John Calvin as he preached Protestantism to the citizens of this city.
A perfect time to visit this chapel is during the sunny day, a spectacular sight as the sun's rays hit the stain glass and creates a magical atmosphere inside the chapel with different hues of color. The colorful arches and the high ceiling are remarkable. The ceiling is painted in shades of blue and pink and if you look closely you will see angels adorning the ceiling. The pulpit is stunning, it has sculptures of an angel, an eagle, a winged lion, and a winged horse, this represented the Medieval Royal Houses from the different ages that patronized this chapel. Another interesting sight is the historic Walcker organ, this was positioned on the cardinal's tomb after renovation in 1889. Though small in size, the Chapel Maccabees charms the visitor to spending more time admiring its beautiful interiors.

You might also be interested in visiting the archaeological site that is located below the cathedral. There are stunning artifacts from the 4th to the 11th century. The most outstanding is the 4th century mosaic floor and the baptistery, do watch out for the skeletons at this site!
The adventurous can climb to the top of 2 towers of St. Peter's Cathedral and enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the city - definitely worth the climb.
