Rainelle Mine Run H801 exits the bottom loop at Claypool with the last 37 Clearco’s for Meadow Creek. Evident in this photograph, the NF&G’s Claypool Loops feature grades up to 3.8% and curves as sharp as 19.3 degrees.
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.

Lieu : Rajasthan, Inde
Les puits à degrés du Rajasthan, en Inde, sont riches d'une histoire qui remonte à plus de mille ans. Construits à l'origine pour recueillir l'eau de pluie et fournir un accès aux eaux souterraines, ils sont devenus des merveilles architecturales et des espaces communautaires.
Construites en creusant dans la terre, ces structures étaient ornées de sculptures complexes, servant à la fois de symboles utilitaires et esthétiques. Les puits à degrés facilitaient le stockage de l'eau dans les régions arides, crucial pour l'agriculture, la boisson et les rituels. Ils servaient également de points de rencontre, offrant un répit contre la chaleur torride du désert.
Au fil du temps, les puits à degrés ont décliné avec la modernisation, mais leur importance culturelle perdure, inspirant l'art, la littérature et les efforts de conservation. Aujourd'hui, ils sont des rappels poignants de l'ingéniosité de l'Inde en matière de gestion de l'eau et de prouesses architecturales ...

Location: Rajasthan, India
Stepwells in Rajasthan, India, boasts a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Initially built to harvest rainwater and provide access to groundwater, they evolved into architectural marvels and communal spaces.
Constructed by digging into the earth, these structures were adorned with intricate carvings, serving as both utilitarian and aesthetic symbols. Stepwells facilitated water storage in arid regions, crucial for agriculture, drinking, and rituals. They also served as meeting points, offering respite from the scorching desert heat.
Over time, step-wells declined with modernization, but their cultural significance endures, inspiring art, literature, and conservation efforts. Today, they stand as poignant reminders of India’s ingenuity in water management and architectural prowess ...

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'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...
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".
Making your way in life in the most direct, straight-line fashion is not always achievable. Sometimes it’s because we get distracted. Other times it’s because we do not know the way. And maybe sometimes it’s just because we have the need to stop and play.

Naast een zwaar sneltramnet is er in Portland (Oregon) ook een stadstramnet waarop lagevloertrams rijden. Net als de sneltram wordt de Willamette-rivier op meerdere plaatsen gekruist. Hier zien we lagevloertram 021 op de Broadway Bridge. De stalen bascule brug stamt uit 1913. Vanaf de opening van de brug tot 1940 maakte ook het oude tramdrijf van Portland gebruik van deze rivierkruising. Sinds 2012 rijdt de nieuwe ringlijn van Portland weer over de Broadway Bridge.
De lagevloertram is in de Verenigde Staten bij United Streetcar gebouwd en is gebaseerd op de Tsjechische lagevloertrams van Skoda en Inekon waarvan ook exemplaren in Portland rijden. Bijna alle wagens dragen een andere kleur. Bovendien zijn de zijwanden en koppen in complementaire kleuren geschilderd. Als een wagen de hoek omgaat en de andere zijwand zichtbaar wordt lijkt het of de tram volledig van kleur verschiet. Dat maakt dat de "streetcar" in Portland een kleurrijk beeld geeft.
Meer trams bij op en onder bruggen en viaducten vindt u in de set "Bij de brug".

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
40 x 60
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.
A harmonic lakeside scene is captured with yellow wildflowers in the foreground and the tranquility of a calm lake extending towards the horizon. A large, weathered tree stump provides a focal point near the water's edge, while the early signs of spring are evident in the budding trees and clear blue sky with scattered clouds.

photography tip 04: Sharpness
When it comes to publishing photos for the web, i always have a sharpen pass done for each one i upload, as well as reducing the image size of course. my process for this is simple. first of all i avoid over sharpening: it tends to transform the image in a pile of unnecessary visual noise. easy to spot when it's the case. it needs to remain subtle. Secondly, my initial process is to create a duplicate layer and paste the photo on it. then apply a sharpen pass (most of the time i use "smart sharpen"). and finally erase the effect on that second layer in areas where the sharpen isn't needed. especially on blurry areas. sharpening Out of focus areas of a photo is never needed.
