The splendour of the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) can hardly be overstated: a 230-kilometre road from Lake Louise to Jasper through the heart of the Rockies, it ranks as one of the world's ultimate drives. Its unending succession of huge peaks, immense glaciers, iridescent lakes, wild-flower meadows, wildlife and forests - capped by the stark grandeur of the Columbia Icefield - is absolutely overwhelming.

Took this LE shot on a overpass on 395 in Northern Virginia. From there I managed to get this shot GW Parkway. The lighting was spotty due to the fact that some of the lamp post did not turn on. I was trying to capture the sunsetting in the background and a vast array of light trails.

and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction :-)

Parkway Gate, Manchester (student halls). Jan 2019.

Awestruck. Driving home from Georgia to Minnesota on a stretch of the Blueridge Parkway in North Carolina, we were graced by scenes like this. The dilemma is, does one take pictures or sit in amazement? Did a little of both.

These conditions lasted about 45 minutes.

Nice and peaceful place for jogging

Icefields Parkway, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Morning drive down the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park.

Overture, curtain, lights

This is it, the night of nights

No more rehearsing and nursing a part

We know every part by heart

 

Overture, curtain, lights

This is it, you'll hit the heights

And oh, what heights we'll hit

On with the show this is it

 

Tonight, what heights we'll hit

 

On with the show this is it!

 

If you know what theme song that is, you probably had as wonderful a misspent youth as I did. You may be wondering why it is relevant here. There are still some things in this life that can motivate me to be up and out at 0’dark-thirty. Rough Ridge, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a perennial favorite “thing.” It’s a bit of a hike up under gear, and you had better have a good flashlight, as Rough Ridge is – well – rough to hike in the dark. Once you reach this spot, layers, gloves, and a hat are necessities this time of year, too, as cold wind is relentless as you wait for the “show” on the rock ledge. And, if conditions work out, what a show it is.

 

At around sunrise, my solitary perch started to get a little crowded. For me, reverie is blown with a crowd of one, though I don’t mind sharing. This was more. Per typical of late, a few lacked any semblance of camera etiquette, or etiquette whatsoever, with one trying to convince me that sitting in front of my camera would be okay. I responded with, “As long as you’re okay with me chucking you off this rock.” As there is quite a drop behind me, she got the picture, so to speak. All the others behaved after that… sometimes, just the right nuance makes all the difference. Sunrise did not disappoint, so much a visual palette mindful of ‘as in Heaven, so on Earth’ as the sky mimics the autumn color. A couple of days later, most all this autumn splendor would be gone with the wind. It was a blessing to capture a piece of it. I was pleased with the morning on the hike down. As I met others on the way up, I wondered if I should tell them how sunrise knocked our socks off. Nah!

 

The Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA

 

Took a quick trip up the Foothills Parkway since I was in the area.

 

This runs along the top of the Chilhowee Mountain range and looks in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's nice to live in the local area and I take advantage of that as often as I can.

“Roadiripophobia (r)

The fear of not having any road trips planned” -unknown.

 

Although we have been home for a month now, I do find myself getting itchy feet lately. . I shall have to be content with day trips for the winter. This is a scene from the Fundy Trail Parkway. While covering long distances on our road trips, there are times we just cannot not stop to take pictures. We need to prioritize. Consequently, I got better at taking pictures through our car windshield as the car is moving. I started an album to keep track of some the roads we have travelled over time. With a higher ISO to get the sharpness I needed and then some AI magic in editing, I got some decent results. This road was newly paved with lots of twists and turns. It was a dream to drive on.

Nice place to have fresh air and enjoying of peace.

Six KCS EMDs drag M262 across the Blue Parkway concrete arch bridge on Kansas City's east side, built in 1928 as part of a major realignment of the KCS mainline in the 1920s and one of four major trestles on the mainline coming out of Knoche. EMD supremacy is on full display here, a nod to the era between the early 1960s and mid-1990s when KCS remained a strictly-EMD railroad.
