Taken on a recent visit to the Lake District from St Ravens Edge with Brothers Water at the bottom of the pass.
Hurricane Fiona's widespread damage across the maritimes continues to wreak havoc with power outages. While most have power restored, on September 29th, there was still a good chunk of the province in the dark. As a result of such outages, Z12031 27's crew had a collection of Rule 564s (Pass stop authorities), and restricting signals between Londonderry and Belmont West on September 29th. While I had worked as engineer overnight, knowing that there was a solid set of what are now considered eclectic DCs on 120, I decided to pull a long day, going as far west as Folly pretty well immediately after work. In this frame, the eastbound stack train from BIT is crossing the Shubenacadie River, having just met Q12311 29 at Alton. As for the slow going on the Springhill Sub? It allowed for multiple takes on the last portion of the Springhill, and I rounded out the day with a total of 8 takes between Folly and Millview.
" camminava con gli occhi leggeri del pellegrino che sta per arrivare a destinazione
la strada che aveva percorso era disseminata di pezzi rotti dei suoi mille pensieri cattivi, dolorosi, angoscianti.
li aveva fatti scivolare come la pioggia fredda di aprile, certo che il sole che stava per affacciarsi dietro le nuvole avrebbe riscaldato la sua pelle e nutrito la sua fame di futuro.
camminava con gli occhi aperti contro il cielo, senza temere che tutta quella luce potesse fargli male al cuore: quando la casa è stata svuotata, pensava, la luce può entrare dalle finestre e ripulire l'aria più efficacemente.
camminava con un'andatura sempre più sciolta, incredibilmente. aveva percorso migliaia di chilometri, o così gli sembrava, e nonostante tutto aveva le spalle dritte, le gambe toniche e un sorriso aperto che gli illuminava il volto.
camminava come se non avesse più un passato, un punto di partenza, un motivo che lo aveva spinto a fare tanta fatica.
e questo lo rallegrava, gli ammorbidiva il cuore: aver dimenticato il punto di partenza, il motivo, il peso del passato era il premio più bello che potesse aspettarsi dalla nuova vita che, ormai, aveva a portata di mano "

This road travels over one of the famous Lakeland passes connecting Ullswater to the central lakes at Ambleside. Easily blocked by snow in the winter months.
Our route from Lake Maggiore to Switzerland had taken us over the Simplon Pass during the morning. As can be seen it offered a fine viewpoint so it was an easy decision to stop en route home. This view was taken at just over 6,500 feet and looks North.
The Julier Pass (elevation 2,284 m) is a mountain pass in eastern Switzerland connecting the Engadin valley with central Grisons / Graubünden.

The old Hospiz (Hospice for travelers over the Simplon Pass) is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance. The Hospiz was begun in 1801 on orders from Napoleon, but was not finished until 30 years later with the support of the Canons of Great Saint Bernard.

Gorrión común
(Passer domesticus)
El conocido y familiar gorrión común es, tal vez, el ave más extendida de todo el planeta y, sin duda, una de las más exitosas. Adaptable y poco exigente en lo que al hábitat y a la alimentación se refiere, este habitante de pueblos, ciudades y caseríos es, sin embargo, un comensal directo del hombre y, por tanto, depende estrechamente de nuestras actividades para sobrevivir; de manera que cuando un pueblo es abandonado por sus habitantes humanos, los gorriones comunes no tardan en desaparecer tras sus involuntarios benefactores.
Clasificación
Orden Passeriformes
Familia Passeridae
Longitud 14-15 cm
Envergadura 21-25,5 cm
Identificación
Paseriforme de aspecto robusto y voluminoso, el gorrión común posee un pico fuerte y un plumaje dominado por los tonos pardos en el dorso —adornado con marcadas listas negras— y grisáceos en el obispillo, el pecho y el vientre. Los machos en época reproductora presentan el pico negro y el dorso de una tonalidad bastante rojiza, en tanto que el píleo toma un color gris y el babero se hace más extenso y oscuro. Los caracteres sexuales ligados al plumaje son visibles todo el año, aunque se van haciendo más patentes debido al desgaste progresivo de las plumas, que deja a la vista los colores internos de estas. Las hembras tienen el píleo marrón y presentan una línea clara tras el ojo; no lucen babero y su pico es siempre grisáceo hacia el extremo y amarillento en la base. Los jóvenes machos, por su parte, son indistinguibles de las hembras hasta que realizan la muda de finales de verano, cuando adquieren los colores del adulto.
Canto
El gorrión común es una especie bulliciosa —especialmente cuando se muestra nervioso o se reúne en grandes grupos—, que cuenta con un gran repertorio de reclamos sencillos. Suele emitir continuamente un chipchip o un chirr-r-r-r, mientras que el canto de celo es una serie repetida de sonidos de las mismas características de los descritos: chipchiu- chuurp-chelp…
A cold sunset evening looking over snow topped houses and pass leading to the ski resort in Flaine, France.
My Impressions of Winnats Pass which is a Limestone gorge located at Castleton in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England.
I don't like hights. I get giddy standing on a stool, so standing on the edge of the limestone outcrops in wet muddy boots and looking down to see a lot of air before my eyes focused on the road at the bottom of the gorge.....is......???
This was a reconnaissance trip but the low cloud swept in leaving little visibility.
So i will have to do it all again:-) Looking forward to it.
Captured this huge pano on 03/31/2015 on the top of the Renjo Pass (5360m). It was pretty difficult or rather exhausting to climb Renjo at this time, because there was a lot of snow - too much snow!
But finally... we (Dawa Sherpa and I) did it! :)
It's a panorama composed of 20 shots.

Lindis Pass, New Zealand. The driest part of the South Island. This shot was taken on the 2nd of four trips to NZ, but the only one on which I travelled the South Island by car - definitely the best way to see the place!
