Day 2 of our Eastern Sierra road trip: Roy and I got up at a decent hour and took time for breakfast. Following a recommendation that we read on kenrockwell.com and heard from others, we decided to spend the morning traveling the June Lake Loop. Our first stop was at Silver Lake. Even though it was mid-morning the sun had not yet risen above the ridgeline. It was like getting a bonus sunrise. At least 20 photographers brought there by one or more photo tour companies were competing for prime space.
This photo was taken aiming across Silver Lake into the shadows. I wish I knew which celebrity owned which cabin back in the day.
This photo is part of a series of images captured during a road trip to the Eastern Sierra of California in October of 2011. Most images were captured along US-395, in Mono Lake, Bodie, June Lake Loop and some in Yosemite Valley, California.
In the 1920’s automobile travel began to thrive and June Lake became a popular destination and way point for those traveling between Yosemite and Southern California. Notably, many Los Angeles area dignitaries and Hollywood celebrities made their way here. Film star Wallace Beery built a cabin on a small island in Silver Lake. Beery was also an aviator and known to land his plane on the meadow area adjacent to the lake. Names such as Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Betty Grable, Sally Rand and others graced the guest register at the June Lake Lodge. Subsequently, film director Frank Capra and cartoonist Walter Lantz also had cabins at Silver Lake, and their families continue to visit.
SDO captured a splendid example of expanding coronal loops seen in profile at the edge of the Sun (Oct. 14-15, 2014). The bright loops began to form and grow after a long-lasting M-class flare erupted. The arcs of the loops we see in extreme ultraviolet light are actually particles spiraling along magnetic field lines arcing above the active region that was the source of the flare. They are reorganizing the magnetic field after its disruption. To give a sense of scale, these huge loops are reaching out more than 15 times the size of Earth.

A building lies empty and boarded on Business Loop 70 in Columbia, Mo. on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Christine King, president of the Columbia Public Schools Board, said, "That area is in badly need of some assistance." (Aaron Pellish / KOMU 8 News)
I spent the day at one of the Valleys that make up the Mach Loop in North Wales.
It was a painful walk up to here, but well worth it to see military aeroplanes bombing through the valley at eye-level!!

Giant, bright coronal loops trace out the magnetic field lines above an active region from June 4-6, 2018. The wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light shown here is emitted by ionized iron travelling along the field lines, super-heated to approximately 1 million degrees K. Coronal loops were not seen in this level of detail until the Solar Dynamics Observatory was launched in 2010 and came online, giving solar scientists new data with which to study the Sun and its processes.

Did the Foothills Loop Trail at Kartchner Caverns State Park near Benson, Arizona on February 14, 2016
Taken from outside the boundaries of Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the infamous Olympia Looping! The biggest travelling coaster in existence and the first time outside of mainland Europe.
For some reason though, it is called Munchen Looping over here, where it is actually known as Olympia Looping in mainland Europe
An abandoned building on Business Loop 70 in Columbia, Mo. warns against trespassers on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. The school board proposal to make Business Loop 70 a CID would raise sales taxes on Business Loop 70 by 0.5 percent. (Aaron Pellish / KOMU 8 News)
Saturday 26th October was the last evening before the clocks changed to catch the York-Scarborough RHTT working in daylight during its 30 minute layover at Barlby Loops east of Selby. A huge complex of maltings dominates the location which retains its North Eastern Railway signal box.

Traveling this section of railroad will require some 22 miles to go 4 miles compass north while climbing just over 1,500 feet. This is the land of dynamic brakes and throttle 8 -- of steep grades, tunnels, sharp curves, and full course reversals where you can see both ends of a train at the same time. Welcome to The Loops. It is amazing to think that this whole railroad, from top to bottom, remains virtually unchanged and has needed no major engineering upgrades since it's birth in the early 20th century. When they built the Clinchfield, they did it right the first time.

2. I thought the loop represented an O.
3. I tried to get a somewhat warmer photo that had an orange tint and it didn't really look how I wanted it to look without ruining the image.
Selketalbahn 99 6001-4 climbs away from Stiege working the 14:47 Gernrode to Hasselfelde service on 9th March 2008. The Eisfelder Talmühle–Hasselfelde and Herzogschacht–Lindenberg (now Straßberg) sections of the Selke Valley Railway were dismantled in 1946 and all locomotives and rolling stock were seized by the Soviet Union as war reparations. It was not until late 1983 when the reconstruction of the Straßberg–Stiege section of the Selketalbahn was completed, primarily for providing a direct rail connection for the transport of lignite from Nordhausen to a new cogeneration power plant installed at Silberhütte. Passenger services were resumed in June 1984, and at that time the three Harz narrow gauge lines were reconnected as one network totalling 140 kilometres. The small balloon loop outside Stiege station, part of it visible to the left of this image, was constructed specifically to allow heavy trains from Nordhausen to gain access to the power plant at Silberhütte without the need to reverse at Stiege, as indeed any interconnecting locomotive-hauled services between the Selketalbahn and Harzquerbahn are able to use for the same reason, providing a remarkable network of railway lines in such a small town.

Entrance to Bachelor Loop, a 17-mile loop up the canyon north of Creede, CO. Lots of old silver mine relics along the trail. Our ride is a 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Bachelor Loop isn't much of a challenge for it, but we saw some beautiful country on a perfect fall day.
