Banff's Pilot Mountain (9629 ft, 2935 m) is one of the most visible mountains along the TransCanada highway as it resides in a bend of the Bow Valley, therefore, it can be seen from either direction for quite a distance, hence a landmark for travelers.
Some people shoot birds and wildlife, others bugs and flowers. I'm addicted to peaks and mountains, and the beautiful ecosystems that surround them. Hope you don't get weary of primarily peak posts....
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Pilots cottages on Llanddwyn. The pilots also manned the lifeboat station which was later run by the RNLI. A small light was established in 1823 by the Caernarfon Harbour Trustees as a navigational aid for entering the Menai Straits and Caernarfon harbour.
We've had some strong wind lately. More on its way tomorrow - statewide weather warning has been issued.
These aircraft were used to deliver and collect secret agents into France during WW2. The bravery of the pilots, landing in the dead of night, in a field lit only by a few torches, is something I can't even begin to understand. Every landing could have been an ambush. The courage of the people they were transporting is on another level - beyond my comprehension. It throws our day-to-day travails into sharp perspective.
I spotted this beautiful cutter sailing down the Solent on Sunday. Looked into her history and to my surprise found she was not built one hundred and twenty years ago but in 2007 in Falmouth based on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters She was built to her original spec but for bronze fittings instead of iron and a twin sandwich plywood deck encased in epoxy resin and overlaid with teak. The interior fit out is beautifully done with all the mod conns.

The row of four small cottages on Llanddwyn Island was built for the pilots who helped boats navigate into the ports along the Menai Strait. This narrow channel dividing Anglesey from the Welsh mainland posed a threat of grounding on sand banks to the boats calling mainly at the ports of Caernarfon, Y Felinheli and Bangor to collect the fine roofing slate produced in the hills of North Wales. As well as guiding commercial shipping, the pilots crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until its wathdrawal from service in 1903.

A sunny afternoon at the beach and we spotted this gorgeous old gal!
See the comment box below or next image for detail of one of the boot handles with lock.

A pilot takes a walk while the plane is refueled. A black and white film shot from the 1950's - 60's. It's a U.S. Army Douglas C-54. Another of pop's pics from the shoebox.

Sometimes the lens the farthest from your mind might just be the best choice for the shot. Shot this yesterday evening using my 70-200L
On Llanddwyn Island. Anglesey.
The pilots resided here and met sailing ships that were heading up the Menai Straits.
Great in the Summer, but a nightmare in the Winter months I would have thought if you personally know the Menai Straits.
Nice storm brewing over our rented cottage in the far distance...good move coming here l'd say. :-)

UP 8019 displays its new pilot as it waits outside NRE's Dixmoor facility to be returned to its owner.
Pilot Knob in the distance. Sunrise in the sierras in mid June 2020. Kings Canyon NP is in the wayyyyy distant ridge. June is now my preferred time to venture into the mountains! August was the champion but sooooo many years of smoke filled skies and too many people have lost its 1st place rank. Probably should get some snow shoes? Thought on June backpacking......
What an adventurous way to get to work! A harbor pilot is working his way around the deck of a pilot boat to, literally, jump onboard this cruise ship. The harbor pilot can assist the captain in bringing the ship to and from port, or they could take control of the ship and bring it in and out of port on their own.
I totally messed up on this one! With a very quick grab of my camera, I just didn't think to check my shutter speed, as it was a little too slow for action like this!
At port in Italy. Pentax.
My actual destination was the mountain on the left in the distance. The location of the fire tower that I worked in almost 40 years ago.
Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa
This was taken almost a week ago, and the colors are all but gone! The last shot i posted of this very area had our first light snow on 10.14.18.
It's where I go to pause, listen to nature, breath fresh air and hike. It's my "Big Time Out!" :)

Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa
Out hiking in the park on a beautiful sunny spring day. The air was quite cool, some breeze out of the north, but still great weather to be "Out & About!"
In winter's past this pond was plowed and manicured for ice skating after school and on weekends. It was a busy place, with a warming house and a fire. But now days, there may be some kids sledding on the hill, but no ice skaters.
