An early wildlife shot from the 2012 archives that I have come to realise is a common Zebra pose.

While Denver is baking in 100º heat, the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer is at the ESS Plain, Colorado, 24 rail miles from Denver, after a six-day round trip to Salt Lake City. The train overnighted at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and Moab, Utah, both directions. A group of travel agents and travel writers was aboard the eastbound trip. GP40-3s 8021 and 8020 powered the 10-car train. July 28, 2025, 3:10 p.m.
Next year, the six-day trip from Denver to Salt Lake City and back will be standard, and the train will be renamed "Canyon Spirit."

Taken on the Truperdeich (Truperdike), Bremen. You can see the beginning of one of the largest reed-fields in northern germany which is protected for nature conservation.
Aufgenommen am Truperdeich. Man sieht den Beginn eines der größten Reetfelder in Norddeutschland, das unter Naturschutz steht.
The alluvial plain about a mile south of Markyate in Hertfordshire. The River Ver is on its way south and here, just three miles from its source, still dependent on heavy rainfall. If there is, a few local roads will be flooded, if there is none, there will also be no river. At this point, the River Ver is almost seasonal and dependent on the willingness of the limestone hills to let go of its waters.
This photo is part of a series within a series. In my post of the female bighorn sheep yesterday, I mentioned that the males of some ungulate species aren't the only ones with horns or antlers. So within my horns and antlers set, I'm posting some ladies with horns.

Aan het eind van de dag werd Moordrecht opnieuw bezocht en opnieuw was er geluk, want de zon kwam net onder de dikke bewolking vandaan toen de fraaie DE668 van Rheincargo met de flink te vroeg rijdende beladen kolentrein 47701 uit de Amsterdamse Westhaven naar Möllen passeerde op de avond van 14 augustus 2016. Om voor mij onduidelijke redenen werd dit keer via Kijfhoek gereden en zo zien we de trein hier met op de achtergrond nog net de Gouwebrug zichtbaar op weg richting Venlo.

Yes, it's my absolute favorite barn. When I get a new camera in my hands I usually test it on this barn. I hope it will stand against wind, snow and rain for several more years. It stands on a plain formed by a meteorite crater for about 560 million years ago. The plain is 6 km in diameter. It is one of the last barns on the plain, in the 1940s there were over 3000 barns here. Modern agriculture has no use for the barns and therefore only a few remain. It's a pity.
Elk Island National Park
There were 2 fellows coming our way and Tabby, my dog, and I going the other way with this bison in between. It took 20 minutes to coax her/him off the trail.
The slaughter of the buffalo on the plains, being the main source of food and clothing for indigenous people contributed to their plight of hunger.
There are approximately 400 bison in Elk Island park

The herd of Plains Bison that reside near Delta Junction Alaska came from Montana back in 1928. As of the last count, there are around 900 Plains Bison that roam Alaska in the wild. The biggest herd is the one near Delta Junction Alaska. There are smaller herds located in Chitna Alaska, Copper River Alaska and Farewell Alaska.
The male bison can weigh up to 2000 lbs and stand 6 feet tall while the females can weigh up to 1000 lbs and stand up to 5 feet tall.
Commonly, Bison are referred to as Buffalo. The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia, and bison comes from the Greek word for beef animal or ox.
Almost all of my images from Tombstone come from a small number of places along an outstanding hike, however the park does have a number of other spots to see beyond the crazy and massive jagged peaks. The park goes from these vertical peaks to almost plains where from the right vantage point you can see for what seems to be ages. This year, I made sure to try at least one hike that wasn’t the well-known one.
These images were from a relatively easy hike which my friend and I did when we first arrived in Tombstone. The vantage points along this hike were really something. You could get up onto these spires and almost feel like you’re flying - it gave a completely unobstructed view of a really dynamic landscape. I couldn’t get over the changes in textures and patterns through the landscape, with some passing clouds, rain, and sunny spots really making the scene change by the minute. Neat!
Across the plains of the Serengeti sprinted dogs with wild frisbee catch in their jaws. From Saturday morning when Jasper got to run his new frisbee through it's paces. Jean and I are on vacation this week in Oregon doing some waterfall, wildlife and winery viewing. Perfect, except for the lack of Jasper :-( Sorry if I don't comment much this week
