It was a busy location, and it wasn’t easy getting a spot to shoot from. I finally waited long enough to get this shot.
Lower Silver Falls is located in Michigan's Baraga county on the Silver River. The Silver River has many drops, and they are lumped together into the Lower, Middle and Upper Falls. The Lower Falls are very easy to visit.
The falls consists of two chutes where the river is constricted to a narrow channel. The second is the larger of the two, and the river drops about 15 feet in a thirty foot stretch while taking a turn.
A medium-sized dark-backed albatross with pale underwings outlined by a narrow dark border and a dark notch in the armpit. The adult has a whitish head with grayish cheeks that give it a “white-capped” appearance. The gray-green bill has a yellowish tip to both mandibles. Juveniles are grayer on the head with gray bills. The species breeds on islands off Tasmania and New Zealand but disperses widely across the southern Oceans between 15 and 60°S, where it is a frequently encountered pelagic seabird. Similar albatrosses have a dark-tipped (not pale-tipped) lower half to the bill, and Salvin’s Albatross has a pale gray head and Chatham Albatross a slaty-gray head, further differentiating them from White-capped Albatross. Juveniles of these three are very difficult to separate. (eBird)

By far the most frequently seen albatraoss of our trip. Usually seen gliding effortlessly over the ocean, this one decided to join the fun of our albatross hunt. He is one of the four species that we found that day.

This pano shows a part of the Nettetal, a nature and bird reserve in the Lower Rhine region. I like the calm water with all the birds and the vegetation.
The pano is stitched from 5 single shots.
The first evening of our trip to the Highlands, after a 9 hour drive and unpacking I decided a quick trip out on to cliff top path with the camera would be a nice way to wind down. 30 mins later I was watching this beautiful sunset. Diabaig is a remote coastal fishing and crofting township in Wester Ross, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. Diabaig lies on the north shore of the sea loch of Loch Diabaig, an inlet off the north side of Loch Torridon.
There's a rest stop off the freeway just before you tunnel through these rocky hills. (Your can see the tunnel opening in the lower right.) Decades back I used to stop near here and hike up to a hot springs.

A different individual to the first one I posted, found lower down the slopes. Biggish crop as he was a bit of distance away, across a bramble patch.
This is one that has been on my list for years and it didn't disappoint. Coming in at 200 feet wide it's the widest falls that I've seen yet and the first vertical block. From here it's hard to tell that it drops 43 feet, but the roar lets you know it. :-) The emerald water is caused by the Lewis river being born of an inactive glacier (from Mount Adams) so it doesn't have the silt like White or Puyallup and it is just stunning to see. I was here on a Friday and I kid you not, I didn't see a soul until I got back down here after hiking up to the other two drops. It was a bit spooky. :-)
Lower Lodge in Cockington Village, Torbay, is a Grade II listed building that dates back to the early to mid-19th century. It is made of local stone rubble with red sandstone quoins and Bathstone detail, and has a gabled slate roof. The lodge is terraced into the hillslope, and a sunken drive to Cockington Court passes through the middle of it, while a lane is carried over the drive behind the lodge.

Lower Slaughter a fascinating name, which derives from 'miry place'. The link is the tiny River Eye, tributary to the nearby river Windrush. Lower Slaughter is just off the Fosse Way. The village is considered to be one of the prettiest in the area and is well photographed and the village has been used for filming and productions.
This secluded waterfall in Hamilton, Ontario is definitely a great location to photograph, particularly during the fall season.

Rio Grande train No. 34 twists through the eight degree, lower horseshoe curve while ducking under US Highway 6 at Gilluly, Utah. Doug captured this view from the right of way at old "Scenic", about four miles timetable east by rail toward Soldier Summit.
D&RGW often dispatched multiple sections of train 34 daily out of Roper Yard in South Salt Lake. This variant features two cabooses, multiple piggback trailers and flatbeds loaded with concrete pipe.
