......on the walkable rollercoaster "Tiger and Turtle" Scuplture in Duisburg (Germany)
The large sculpture is a work of art by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth.
The structure with a floor area of 40 by 41 meters is a little more than 20 meters high (top edge looping) and made of galvanized steel. It can be fully walked except for the looping, which means that you have to walk the path back in both directions to the entry point. Being less than a meter wide, bottlenecks are common, particularly on the steeper sections, so a maximum of 195 visitors are allowed at any one time.
Three consecutive stainless steel bicycle parking racks in the shape of a loop-the-loop found on Hurtle Square.
Look closely - that random assortment of detritus on top of the grey headed coneflower is a camouflaged looper caterpillar who has decorated himself to escape detection! They glue bits of plant to their bodies with their own spit as they munch along, changing pieces when the colors of their surroundings change as they move from flower to flower. Utterly amazing!
The Silver Falls Loop is a notable trail in Mt. Rainier National Park. Aside from the falls and river, it features a traverse of a wonderful forest.

These moths were all over the flowers at Cape May Point State Park and the Meadows. Despite their numbers, they were pretty difficult to photograph since they rarely stopped moving for long and tended to hover for nectaring rather than land.
I camped above Henson Creek, about 5 miles east of Engineer Pass, in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The Alpine Loop is a 65 mile dirt road (4 wheel drive, high clearance) that goes over Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass through memorable mountain scenery.
The forest is predominantly Engelmann spruce with smaller components of white fir and subalpine fir.
An eastbound train is visibly wrapped around Trinidad Loop, a 180 degree horseshoe used by the railroad to climb out of the Columbia River Gorge east of Wenatchee
An eastbound UP Stack Train enters the famous Williams Loop on the ex Western Pacific Railroad. The WP constructed the loop so trains would experience a steady 1% clime to Beckworth Pass and the crest of the Sierra.
you find the nicest things around the university 😄

There was nothing quite like the SP on Tehachapi. Plenty of scarlet and grey on this train as they look around themselves at Walong as they climb towards the summit at Tehachapi. Growing up in Southern California I visited here many times even after first moving to Colorado and then Alaska I always long for my next visit.
The MBTA's office car special is shoving through Loop Interlocking on Main 1 of the Dorchester Branch at MP 227.4 after running up from Readville Yard then turning on the loop track at Widett Circle. They are taking newly theater car number 535 (former 1515) named 'Mayflower'. The train also includes the other two office cars number 529 'Constitution' and number 525 'Minuteman' along with 534 (former 1503), one of two specially wrapped revenue geometry cars (only along to meet timetable minimum axle requirements). All four cars are rebuilt 500-series MBBs, among the few survivors of a fleet of 67 cars (33 blind and 34 cab control) built new in Germany in 1987-88. Leading the train are heritage units 1129 and 1030, the former a GP40MC dressed in the 'cranberry' scheme and the latter an F40PH-3C dressed in Boston and Maine Minuteman livery.
The train operated from South Station down the Dorchester Branch to Readville, then via the Franklin Line to Walpole, the down the Framingham Secondary to Mansfield, then Amtrak's Northeast Corridor to Davisville to the Seaview Transportation Company where it was turned on their wye before returning straight back via the direct NEC route. On board were MBTA and Keolis officials inspecting recent track and signal projects and looking at the new platform at Foxboro station recently installed to support the flood of passengers for next years World Cup matches to be held at Gillette Stadium.

CPKC's Fording River Sub is a 33 mile-long branch line serving 4 coal mines on the west side of Crowsnest Pass. The line was built in the early 1970's and features a steady stream of coal trains carrying Canadian carbon to the Pacific for export.
Here, at the far northern end of the line, CP 9354 slowly & steadily loads a coal train at the EVR Fording River Mine. The train is sized to match the length of the loading loop almost exactly, as the DPU has cleared the switch only a few car lengths before the head-end completes its circuit through the load-out.
Sharp eyes will note that's a spring switch, lined to the right for the inbound train but posing no issue for the outbound train to run through the switch against the points.

An evening at Elk Island is always pleasant. While we last visited we've encountered the herd of bison at Bison Loop. I don't think I've seen so many yet in one spot. Lots of young ones. Of course, we could not not stop for a bit at Astotin Lake..
Recently popped to the Mach Loop to photograph military aircraft that fly through. Took this while it was quiet.

Someone looped this wire back at a break in the fence. To the right of the fence post is an animal trail frequented by deer, feral cats and occasional runaway chickens.
