We experience this Mystery in three ways: as Silence, as Word, and as Understanding. Word, in this sense, refers to all there is, since we experience it as somehow directed at us: it “speaks to us.” Word has its origin in Silence. Unless silence “comes to word,” our utterance is mere chitchat. Word aims at understanding. Understanding, in turn, is that dynamic process in which we listen so deeply to the Word that it takes hold of us and leads us back to its source—to Silence. The Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century referred to this dynamic process as “the circle dance of the Blessed Trinity.”

Another cute find in my garden, although frustratingly I didn't get this looping looper moth caterpillar sharp! It has such a distinctive-looking, and cute, face. Any ideas on ID much appreciated... as always I've looked at loads of images online and drawn a blank!
Thanks to curiosity thrills for the possible ID of brimstone moth caterpillar.
Another from the archives that was long ago shared over on RP.
The 11AM Anchorage yard job with MP15DC 1553 seen pulling a small cut off 189 flats the US Army Fort Richardson loop area for this first time in over a decade. This test load of Strykers and other equipment will be pulled back to the ARR's main yard for forwarding north back to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks regular freight service.

A Piper Cub dong a loop. The Alabama Boys at the Florida International Air Show. Taken at slow shutter speed to show propeller spin. I like the complimentary Colors.
Between Lake City and Engineer Pass, the Alpine Loop follows Henson Creek upstream. This view shows Henson Creek and Engineer Mountain, 13,218 feet. The Alpine Loop climbs steeply to Engineer Pass, 12,800 feet, on the northeastern shoulder of Engineer Mountain.
Oddly enough, the San Juan Mountains have TWO big mountains named "Engineer Mountain". The other is 27 miles to the southwest, near Coal Bank Pass, north of Durango, Colorado.
I keep the horses' riding tack—bridle, bit, and reins—hung on brackets on the wall of the little hay barn, one set for Spirit and one for Andy. To keep the long reins from drooping down to the floor, where they would be imperiled by passing goat hooves and cat paws, I loop the lower end of the reins up over the mounting bracket, creating the droplet shapes shown here, caught in the morning light spilling through the barn door.

この撮影ポイントは、ゆりかもめ線がレインボーブリッジと高さを調整するためのループの内側にある船着き場です。嬉々として撮影した後「関係者以外立ち入り禁止」の看板をみつけました。
This shooting point is the pier where the Yurikamome line is inside the Rainbow Bridge and the loop for adjusting the height. After shooting happily, I found a sign that says "Authorized personnel only".
I've seen some strange critters through the macro lens, but maybe none so weird as this...
Movement in the mistflower caught my eye, and I took a look with the 90 mm Tamron macro (at 1:1, with 25 mm tube). It appears to be a very tiny caterpillar, with two different kinds of protuberance - the brown ones and the lavender ones. One of the brown ones, on the left is really striking. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?
Edit: turns out this is a camouflaged looper caterpillar - they put these little flowers on their backs to blend in - fascinating! Google turns up lots of information and examples, and I feel like I should have known about these. They will be become Synchlora aerata, wavy-lined emerald moth.
You just never know what nature's going to show you when you head out with the macro...one of the things I love about it...

Santa Fe 5581 leads a well powered eastbound train through the world famous "Tehachapi Loop" at Walong, California.
From Wikipedia: "The Tehachapi Loop is a 3,779-foot-long (0.72 mi; 1.15 km) spiral, or helix, on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision through Tehachapi Pass, of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, south-central California. The line connects Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley to Mojave in the Mojave Desert.
Rising at a steady two-percent grade, the track gains 77 feet (23 m) in elevation and makes a 1,210-foot-diameter (370 m) circle. Any train that is more than 3,800 feet (1,200 m) long — about 56 boxcars — passes over itself going around the loop. At the bottom of the loop, the track passes through Tunnel 9, the ninth tunnel built as the railroad was extended from Bakersfield."
Photography show opening tonight at the Flower of Life Art Gallery in Lockport from 6-9. I have three pieces in the show. Here is the first one:
Chicagoan Loop
Photography – Glossy

Chicagoan Loop is a portrait of the people out and about in the downtown Loop district in Chicago. The title also hints that the people themselves are on somewhat of a loop: any day you venture out among them, you will always see people of every race, orientation, gender and religion. You will see people in costume, being peaceful protestors, celebrating at a rally, out for errands or to meet for lunch. We are all different and all individuals and in that way – we are all celebrated as being human beings. This collage portrait of the people of Chicago is comprised of 1,014 individual portraits.
Huge Coastal Brown Bear (Ursus arctos), nicknamed Looper (because she likes to lead photographers around in circles), changes direction surprisingly quickly. She was heading left to right when a large salmon swam right past her nose. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
I had some time after meetings on this autumn day in the late afternoon to drive the famous Alpine Loop in Utah. The 17-mile drive is known for its bright autumn leaves, which start to appear in September, but tend to be at their best in October and into November--depending on the weather, of course.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

Spent several nights in this area in late December. Interesting place with fort Davis nearby and a scenic loop that includes the McDonald Observatory. I love the scenery we come across, but I think I love the actual road most of all, especially when it lays out like a ribbon across the landscape leading you to parts heretofore unseen...
A Union Pacific coal train descends the 2.29% grade at Crater Loops running 2x2x2. This train loaded at Energy Mine on the Craig Branch and is bound for Southern Company's Plant Daniel in Mississippi.
The D&SL really knew how to build a railroad through the rugged terrain utilizing a series of horseshoe curves, several tunnels and countless tight curves & cuts as the tracks steadily gain elevation. It's a steep climb from Bond as trains navigate Crater Loops, Rock Creek Canyon and Egeria Canyon until they reach the summit at Toponas. The west end of 'Volcano' can be seen on the mountains above the train before the tracks enter Egeria Canyon. Such a cool piece of railroad.
Crater Loops has been a bucket list goal for me for a long time and as most you can relate, merely a pipe dream when you live 1500+ miles away.
Thanks John Shine for the nice prop to photograph!
