On February 21, 1970, Santa Fe GP35 1358 and nine other small units lead a northbound bare table train around the iconic "Tehachapi Loop" at Walong, California.
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.
The 180 degree loop of the Moselle river is one of the famous picture motives of Germany. This morning I got this picture at sunrise. I was surprised that I was the only photographer up there on this Sunday morning.
Another from the archives that was long ago shared over on RP.

A Piper Cub dong a loop. The Alabama Boys at the Florida International Air Show. Taken at slow shutter speed to show propeller spin. I like the complimentary Colors.

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 keep the horses' riding tack—bridle, bit, and reins—hung on brackets on the wall of the little hay barn, one set for Spirit and one for Andy. To keep the long reins from drooping down to the floor, where they would be imperiled by passing goat hooves and cat paws, I loop the lower end of the reins up over the mounting bracket, creating the droplet shapes shown here, caught in the morning light spilling through the barn door.

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".
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...
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.
Taken with this camera.
ZBRLC winds its way around Tehachapi Loop as it climbs toward the summit on a beautiful but somewhat hazy February morning.
I had some time after meetings on this autumn day in the late afternoon to drive the famous Alpine Loop in Utah. The 17-mile drive is known for its bright autumn leaves, which start to appear in September, but tend to be at their best in October and into November--depending on the weather, of course.
