......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.
This is the yarn I spun from Loops March batt of the month club. I added a few snippets of novelty yarn from my scrapbooking stash.. and Steph sent a little bag of sequins to spin into the yarn! Yay more sparkles!!
I LOVE how it turned out!! The colors are just amazing.. it sparkles like crazy and the shredded money is just cool looking!!
I think I'm going to crochet this into a large pashmina sized shawl with a medium brown corrie as trim and fringe.. and this as the middle and fringe. I think it'll look super sweet!!
Steph is so amazing.. I can't wait to see what April brings..
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!
I knit my batt up right away and made this really awesome Twisted scarf from "Knitting New Scarves" by Lynne Barr. The construction was really fun to knit on US 10.5 needles.
Stairs along the Navajo Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. The sun finally broke through the overcast skies on my first day in Bryce, giving the slot section of the Navajo Loop an amazing glow.

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.

Since I have a few days to spare before departing Europe and my next appointment, I made a wish-list of places that would be neat to visit.
High up on the list was the metre-gauge Rhaetian Railway of Graubünden canton in southeast Switzerland, with its clean red rolling stock and wild scenery.
One of many ridiculously photogenic, model-railwayesque, 'must see' spots is the Brusio viaduct, part of an incredibly steep line over the Bernina Pass that will keep you highly amused for a few hours. Even if you don't come to take pictures, the section between St Moritz and Brusio is one of the most impressive rail journeys around. Perhaps 'the' most impressive if you catch some sun and snow about. (The Italian town of Tirano is only another few km down the line.) Minimum radius is 45 metres (148 feet) and max grade is 7% (something like 1 in 14.5 if my googling is accurate) - all normal adhesion with no cogs. This section is UNESCO listed, and appears on Google streetview.
Here, one of the grunty Allegra railcars and five attached passenger cars swing up the Brusio Viaduct with a St. Moritz-bound train.
Considerable gardening and resultant personal bloodletting was required to poke a suitable sized hole in the trees up here. It looks like there might have been a potentially easier path but, there you have it. This is 11:20am, and with a few stops for pictures, it took me two and a half hours to walk back down to Brusio station.

Photo narrative:
There is a narrow gauge "toy train" that runs from the plains to the town of Darjeeling (yes, where the famous tea comes from) in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, in the northen part of the state of West Bengal, in India.
In 1999, UNESCO declared the Toy Train and its tracks a "World Heritage Site." After a ride aboard the Toy Train in 1895, Mark Twain is said to have remarked, "The most enjoyable day I've spent on earth is of mixed ecstacy of deadly fright and unimaginable joy."
It's a 80 km (50 mile) ride through some of the prettiest landscapes in India -- a journey that takes about 7 hours, and climbs from the plains to an altitude 6,800 ft.
In one section of the journey, the train climbs almost a 1,000 feet in a matter of minutes at this "Batasia Loop," where the tracks spiral around over itself through a tunnel and over a hilltop.
Kanchenjungha, the mountain in the background, looks close. But, it is about 75 kms. (47 miles) away as the crow flies!
Currently (as of August 2006), this is the most interesting photo for each of the following tags: "India", "West Bengal", "Darjeeling", "Batasia", "Kanchenjunga", "Railway" and "Toy train".
As of September 2006, this is the most interesting photo for the tag: "India".
A shot 3 years in the taking, One I wanted to take on the Star Adventurer but never could Barnard's Loop. Polar alignment and Guiding where the two biggest problems. This is a Wide field of the Orion area with a Nikon 50mm G F1.8 lens but will try again once I can get my parents Nikon 50mm D F1.8 lens with a manual aperture ring. This was taken over 5 night and dumped a lot of shot as the lens is so wide field the city light made it into the shot, in the end it was start after 9 pm finish 2am. Orion was corrected with 5min and 2 min shots

Soybean Looper (Chrysodeixis includens) – Hodges#8890
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.
A hybrid pairing of 53242/53844 make up Tyseley set T032. The train was the 11.03 Birmingham to Great Malvern, it is passing the doomed Rowley Regis signal box, which was a lovely little GWR standard box.
The track gang are taking out the connection into the yard which had closed. The line, which is still in occasional use, forms one of two goods loops at Rowley Regis. Behind the train on the horizon is a blast furnace which must be in the Langley Green area?
