Views from the Peekaboo Loop Trail -
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, United States
I'm revisiting the photos I took of Bryce Canyon back in 2009, reprocessing many, adding a few, and deleting others.

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.
Yes, I was at the Roskilde Airshow in August. Lots of planes and cool displays. This was one of the better ones. The German Air Force Airbus did a loop, not a complete one but a backside loop...like! Took a series of shots of the loop and have put it together here in a slightly compressed form.
It is a large, heavy aircraft and the fact that the pilots did a loop at a relatively low altitude in front of an audience of several thousand was nothing short of impressive in my eyes.
The pilots of course did more than just the loop, among other things they landed the plane in less than 200 meters and with everything together the display showed enormous skill on the part of the pilots, but also an unusually agile and easy-to-handle aircraft for its size.
Impressive!
One of Amtrak's now-gone HHP-8s, recently arrived from New York, takes its train around the turning loop near South Station in Boston.
With 40 loads in town, the Port Harbor Job rolls around one the two different loops that the railroad uses to shuffle cars around the Port. This was part of a 70 unit grain train that was delivered to the PHRR to be unloaded here in Granite City and transferred to barge, which is right behind me. The crew ill pull clear of two crossings, tie the 2758 down and then head back to the shop area to grab the MP15 number 1296 to spot the other cut.
66779 'Evening Star' seen heading into the loop at Kilby bridge with the 6F93 1106 Churchyard Castle Cement - Ketton 19/5/20.
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.
Just south of Park City, UT is the Alpine Loop, Miles of trees and especially Aspen groves. A must see when in the Park City area.
Looking through an arrow loop on the roof of Dover Castle's Great Tower. You can see St. Mary Church, the ruin of an old Roman lighthouse and the sea behind.
I hope they were never forced to shoot their own church through this loop...
The Cygnus Loop
50+ hours of integration time. 28 different image panels. 3 years in the making!
Found directly overhear in mid to late summer in midnorthern latitudes, the Cygnus Loop spreads its gassy tendrils across the sky. It can be found in the dusty lanes of the Milky Way just by the wing of Cygnus, the swan, glowing in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The nebula complex is located about 2500 LY from Earth and spans 130LY and contains several named "objects" like the Eastern Veil (Witch's Broom). Pickering's Triangle, and the Western Veil. These gassy wisps are all that remain of a star that went supernova about 21000 years ago, spreading its enriched guts across the galaxy.
The bulk of this project was shot in the summer of 2019. I've now revisited with fresh eyes, new tools, and an improves post processing skillset. I've added more data to it than the original, going back and finding other images I'd previously shot of various parts of the nebula, and integrated them into this new image. This image combines nearly 50 hours of integration time with over 20 individual panels to complete the mosaic. The result is a large 56 Megapixel size image of one of the largest deep sky objects in our night sky.

Shot at Dark Sky Viewing Area near Erinsville, and the Camden Lake Provincial Wildlife Area near Moscow, both in Lennox and Addington County in Eastern Ontario.
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
Recently popped to the Mach Loop to photograph military aircraft that fly through. Took this while it was quiet.
A Loop-bound CTA Pink Line train moves through the West Loop, between Morgan and Clinton stations on the Lake Street Elevated.
My first spontaneous spinning batt from Loop, spun up in an evening, two-plied, somewhere under 200 yards. Boy was that fun.
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.
March batt of the month from Steph (Loop) It's just incredible!!!
It's greens, and coppers and these rich teals and burgandys.. with copperishgreenish sparkles and shredded money!! She even sent a little bag of sequins to spin in with it!! It's really breathtaking!
I'm SOOOOO excited to see what next month brings!!
