I have not set foot in The Berghoff since ownership closed the restaurant in 2006, then reopened it after firing all of the long-time waiters and replaced them with non-union staff.
Taken with a Baader modded 350d, and a Canon 85mm EF f1.8 lens (at f4.5).
Central Orion showing the belt stars, the Orion Nebula, The Flame and Horsehead, M78 and the 2 million year old supernova remnant, Barnard's Loop.
Also faintly visible is Sh2-278 and bluish nebula LBN 915 to its right, extending around Eta Orionis.
It all needs a lot more signal here though, or a more sensitive camera with less read noise! This was composed of 21x5min at ISO 400. Processing performed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
The loop trail stays close to the geology of Turtle Rock, a popular climbing destination in summer. This is only an outcropping attached to the much larger formation of Turtle Rock.
This was such an incredible hike. The rock contained so much variation and color! If you look closely, you can make out the "back side" of Artist's Pallette.

Amazing shades of oranges and yellows and sparkles and sequins!
This will be for my sister's bridesmaid shawl
Resting on a car. It's most likely a type of looper moth (Geometridae).
I had trouble with the macro lens, which had only parts of the moth in focus. Changed to a pancake lens which did better.
Looks like I need to clean the car, get those spider webs off.
Idaea nephelota and Idaea violacearia are candidates for identification.

Summary: This is a very popular hiking spot with great views of the ocean on clear days, a seasonal waterfall, and a densely wooded canyon. The loop starts out on Temescal Ridge Trail, climbing almost 1,000 feet in the first mile. At the intersection with Temescal Canyon Trail, you can either take a half mile side trip to Skull Rock (staying on the ridge trail) or head down into the deep Temescal Canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, you will cross a bridge with a lovely waterfall. If you are careful, you can do some rock scrambling upstream to see some additional small waterfalls. After crossing the bridge, the trail drops through the canyon at a mild pace, through a pleasantly dense wooded area.
If you skipped the ridge trail, and just walked up the canyon and back, this would be a great easy 2 mile family hike.

NGC 3576 is a giant star forming region of gas glowing strongly in Ha and is located about 9,000 light years away in Carina. Its characteristic loops are formed by stellar winds.
The image comprises a number of NGC objects - NGCs 3579, 3581, 3582, 3584 and 3586. 3576 encompasses the whole centre bright region.. There are also a number of prominent Bok Globules, dark dense stellar nurseries.

Members of the Freightmaster Forum have advised me that this could well have been a T53 Trip working from Ashburys. My thanks to them for the added clarification.
D304 was delivered in November 1960 and completed over 24 years of service prior to withdrawal in January 1985. It was scrapped at Crewe Works in May 1988.

The Leeds ring road service was re-joined again in July to form a complete loop. Operated by Squarepeg with 4 new enviro mmc200s and a bit of support from the local authority. Here one of the new short enviros is photographed scuttling around the back streets of Seacroft.

Bachelor Loop Interpretive Drive above Creede, Colorado, is a stunning 17-mile do-it-yourself historical tour that passes some of the most well-preserved mines, ghost towns, and deserted buildings in the state. Roads are not technical, but you will feel more secure in a 4WD.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie two miles apart in steep, narrow Clear Creek west of Denver. To connect them, engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4 percent, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight until 1938. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad, carrying passengers using historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
In 1959, the centennial year of the discovery of gold in Georgetown, the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park was formed by the Colorado Historical Society. The Colorado Historical Society’s chairman negotiated a donation of mining claims and mills, and nearly 100 acres of land. Rail line construction began in 1973 with track and ties donated by the Union Pacific Railroad.
The four-mile segment opened on March 10, 1884 and is a restored segment at the upper end of the historic Colorado Central main line up Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden. It climbs approximately 640 feet between the two towns. The longer main line up the canyon was constructed in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush and was used extensively during the silver boom that followed in the 1880s to haul the lucrative silver ore traffic down from the mines at Silver Plume. The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line at the top of the gorge and features a 95-foot high trestle. The entire line, including the Loop, was dismantled in 1939, but interest in restoration of the Loop segment as a tourist attraction in the 1970s led to the construction of a new high bridge and the refurbishment of the segment, which reopened in 1984.
The train ride includes an optional walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, located at the halfway point on the railroad. Visitor walk 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s while guides point out the rich veins of silver and the history of the mine.
Passengers board the train at depots located in either Silver Plume or Georgetown. (Wikipedia)
I'd posted this piece before but, felt that it needed to be photographed while worn, to show it in its best light. So, my friend Andie, modeled for me and I love how it looks on her.
This piece was the result of experimenting with one shape of a copper link. On each half of the necklace, there are graduated copper links - each one slightly smaller (or larger - depending on the direction) than the one before. The center pendant is a prong set rutilated quartz. Each link is forged at the ends, rolled, curved and then the curve was hammered. Links are connected by 14g copper jump rings.
The Ormond Beach Loop is a scenic drive in Volusia County, running through and north of the town of Ormond Beach. The scenic drive crosses and runs amongst numerous waterways and salt marshes, including the Tomoka River, Halifax River, and Bulow Creek. These shots were taken from the roadway which runs between Bulow Creek State Park and Tomoka Island State Park, crossing the Tomoka River in the process.

This one is for my good friend Travis Van Hoff, who, if you don't know, is the front man for the wonderful up-and-coming pop/rock band, VanLadyLove. Travis made the suggestion that I hike in the Alpine Loop today. This is a small creek above American Fork Canyon, the name of which I don't know. I love the tree, just about to fall, but hanging on, roots exposed.
