Oktoberfest is a 16–18 day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world's largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

After the westbound shuttle has dropped off the last of its passengers in Bay Head, the train heads through the iconic Bay Head Loop before yarding their train. The loop was constructed in the late 1800s in order to be able to turn trains in Bay Head, as there were no cab cars back then. GP40PH-2 4101 is no stranger to the loop, after rounding it hundreds of times as CNJ GP40P 3672.

In some really good light I was able to capture 66084 being re-routed via Tondu due to engineering work on the main South Wales line on Sunday 18th January 2015, working the 6O32 Margam to Llanwern Sidings. The train has joined the Maesteg line to Bridgend having competed the run around manouvre on the the Garw loop on the right, a short section of track used as the relief line for diverted freight along the Maesteg line to the South Wales main line at Bridgend or along the Ogmore Extension line to Margam. It is also occasionally used for the "Taffy Tug" passenger excursion train.
The Garw line was formerly an important line serving four major collieries within the Garw Valley, between them producing nearly 4000 tons of coal each day. Sadly, the last mine, Ocean Colliery, closed in 1985 when the line fell into disuse. The line had a reprieve in the 1990's when it was reopened for freight services to carry screened coal from tips in the valley as part of a land reclamation scheme and the last train ran on March 6 1997. It is worth looking at Stuart Warr's photostream to see how it looked not that long ago - www.flickr.com/photos/123410911@N03/16245923515/in/faves-...
Fortunately the once busy signal box still survives for now. According to one website I have seen it is reported that it will be closed in 2015. However, several fellow photographers at Tondu advised me that the box will be one of the last to close in South Wales - let's hope that is correct. A GWR box dating back to 1894 it is a GW3 design and had 63 recorded levers in 1963. I do not believe the box has achieved grade II listed status.
Dublin Bus Alexander RH/Leyland Olympian RH23 takes a quick breather at the 123 Terminus in Kilnamanagh Road,Walkinstown. She was the principle treelooper from D635 until late 2014/early 2015 when ex Phibsboro AV144 too over.
New in 1990, she was unique in having ad frames at each side of her number display, retained into tree looping duties.

Alberta sunsets.. So beautiful I can never get enough of them. So glad we have been able to see this one at Elk Island. We could not not stop at Bison Loop. It's always such a pretty place to stop by :D
Wish belongs to hiking buddy Kevin, who also was taking a picture. I "stealth" shot this by sneaking behind and taking the shot from over Kevin's shoulder.

Summary: This is a very popular hiking spot with great views of the ocean on clear days, a seasonal waterfall, and a densely wooded canyon. The loop starts out on Temescal Ridge Trail, climbing almost 1,000 feet in the first mile. At the intersection with Temescal Canyon Trail, you can either take a half mile side trip to Skull Rock (staying on the ridge trail) or head down into the deep Temescal Canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, you will cross a bridge with a lovely waterfall. If you are careful, you can do some rock scrambling upstream to see some additional small waterfalls. After crossing the bridge, the trail drops through the canyon at a mild pace, through a pleasantly dense wooded area.
If you skipped the ridge trail, and just walked up the canyon and back, this would be a great easy 2 mile family hike.
There has been a lighthouse at Loop Head since 1670, originally a signal fire on the roof of a single-storey cottage (which can still be seen on the grounds), where the lightkeeper lived.
The present tower, which stands 23 metres high, was built in 1854. The range of the light is 23 nautical miles and its ‘character’ is a white light flashing four times in 20 seconds. The operation was converted to electricity in 1871, and automated in 1991.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge United States heritage railroad located in the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, adjacent to Interstate 70 in Colorado.
This tourist train runs between the communities of Georgetown and Silver Plume, a distance of 2 miles (3.2 km). The route is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and ascends an elevation of 640 feet (195.1 m) through mountainous terrain along with trestles, cuts, fills, and a grand loop.[3][4]
The railroad is conveniently situated near I-70, with Silver Plume Depot sitting adjacent to the eastbound on-ramp. Just east of Silver Plume on I-70 there is a parking area named Georgetown Loop Overlook providing scenic views to motorists. The Clear Creek Greenway Trail access road connects Silver Plume Depot, Georgetown Loop Overlook, and the Devil's Gate Station near Georgetown. This trail is accessible to bicyclists and hikers.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie two miles apart in steep, narrow Clear Creek west of Denver. To connect them, engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4 percent, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight until 1938. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad, carrying passengers using historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
In 1959, the centennial year of the discovery of gold in Georgetown, the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park was formed by the Colorado Historical Society. The Colorado Historical Society’s chairman negotiated a donation of mining claims and mills, and nearly 100 acres of land. Rail line construction began in 1973 with track and ties donated by the Union Pacific Railroad.
The four-mile segment opened on March 10, 1884 and is a restored segment at the upper end of the historic Colorado Central main line up Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden. It climbs approximately 640 feet between the two towns. The longer main line up the canyon was constructed in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush and was used extensively during the silver boom that followed in the 1880s to haul the lucrative silver ore traffic down from the mines at Silver Plume. The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line at the top of the gorge and features a 95-foot high trestle. The entire line, including the Loop, was dismantled in 1939, but interest in restoration of the Loop segment as a tourist attraction in the 1970s led to the construction of a new high bridge and the refurbishment of the segment, which reopened in 1984.
The train ride includes an optional walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, located at the halfway point on the railroad. Visitor walk 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s while guides point out the rich veins of silver and the history of the mine.

I don't know much about art but these remind me of landscapes from the 19th century painted in the style of realism.
I was looking for Jacaranda trees but found some old interesting buildings instead. A few Jacaranda petals on the ground. I just really liked this shed, the scene and the light falling on it.
This one is for my good friend Travis Van Hoff, who, if you don't know, is the front man for the wonderful up-and-coming pop/rock band, VanLadyLove. Travis made the suggestion that I hike in the Alpine Loop today. This is a small creek above American Fork Canyon, the name of which I don't know. I love the tree, just about to fall, but hanging on, roots exposed.
