While at a roadside pullout along Alberta Provincial Highway No 22 with a view looking to the southwest across some farmland prairie grass to more distance ridges and peaks of the Livingstone Range (with Mount Burke and Sentinel Peak that I identified on the PeakVisor app on my iPhone). My thought on composing this image was to use the high ground I was located on and capture a sweeping view, looking across these rolling hills sides to the more distant mountains. I also angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring out more of that look. I also wanted to keep the horizon more less leveled-on with the mountains just above that. I later worked with the ClearView Plus tool in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out more of the skies and clouds present, given the afternoon haze that afternoon.

This is te earliest running for the IRT Lo-Vs for a Yankee Opening Day ever! These venerable 1917-1922 units were stored at 239 St Yard, hence the new location for the pullout. March 29, 2019. © 2019 Peter Ehrlich
A pullout at the entrance to Red Canyon while heading to Bryce Canyon National Park one late afternoon. The sun was setting and added this soft glow of light on the rocks. I also felt the shadows and light reflections only added to the image of a view to just take in...
Up early the next morning we headed for Going-To-The-Sun Road and a trailhead. The sun began to light Heaven's Peak so I found a pullout and grabbed the camera. Once again I needed two shots to create the image that I wanted, combining them later in Elements. Down below the peak you can see McDonald River as it flows from our right, toward the left, to empty into McDonald Lake.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Last week a high-speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole on the sun impacted the earth's magnetic field. The impact sparked a G2 geomagnetic storm and the aurora borealis was easily visible from Wyoming. I was planning to head to a different spot higher in the mountains. But I couldn't even make it there, because while driving I noticed the northern lights were already very bright at 6:30pm. So I stopped at the next pullout just in time to shoot this substorm with colorful red and green pillars.
Redfish Cabin is a U.S. Forest Service rental that's located on the north shore of Redfish Lake in Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho. It’s part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and very close to the base of the Sawtooth Mountain Range. During winter months the Sawtooth Ranger District rents this semi-retired guard station out to the general public for $65 a night.
Visitors can park their vehicles on a pullout off Highway 75 and find alternate ways of traversing the 2.25 miles to the cabin.

Another photo from our marathon outing to the Smokies.
Toward the south end of Smoky Mountain National Park there is a pullout for the Kephart Prong Trail. Right off the road is a bridge crossing the stream. Both sides of bridge over many compositional opportunities. This is just one I photographed. A great spot to visit.

At a roadside pullout along California SR 190 with a view looking to the northeast to to a nearby sea level sign. This location is in Death Valley National Park. What's this image, I pulled back on the focal length to include some of the nearby surrounding landscape with the plant-life, as well as a backdrop of ridges and peaks of the Amargosa Range.

While at a roadside pullout along the main park road with a view looking to the northwest at a cinnamon colored black bear ambling along and munching on this nearby hillside. This is in Waterton Lakes National Park.
Going-To-The-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana, is an amazing piece of construction. It's an integral part of this national park and I marvel at it every time I drive on it.
For this image, I think I was standing at a pullout just prior to Siyeh Bend, looking down on the ribbon of road below. I was heading from Logan Pass on down to Saint Mary.

I was parked in a small pullout in Bishop Creek Canyon. Sitting on the back of my SUV under the protection of my raised rear cargo door. You can't tell by looking at this photograph, but it was pouring down rain when I made it.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
Near the end of the road through Waimea Canyon, one comes to a pullout where the Kalalau Valley can be observed from above. This valley is on the beautiful Na Pali Coast and it is only accessible via boat or a difficult 11 mile hike. I chose to view from above rather than hike... This overlook is frequently foggy and I was lucky to get this view.
This pullout along Utah highway 12 overlooks vast lands in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, managed under the umbrella of National Conservation Lands, a consortium of public land agencies. The landscape is of geologic as well as historic importance.
As described on the Bureau of Land Management website:
"The Blues Overlook sits across from the delicate pink limestone ledges of Powell Point, which rises to an elevation of 10,188 feet, and above. 'The Blues,' a badland of gray-green shales deposited some 80 million years ago when the area was covered by an inland ocean."
Powell Point commemorates the geographic expedition of 1869 led by John Wesley Powell in which this region was scientifically charted for the first time.
This rear view of a (beggar) raven illustrates that, in the right light, their blackness is actually blueness. And see how neatly and functionally their different sizes and shapes of feathers are efficiently packed together when not deployed in flight.
At every pullout along Yellowstone's main roads there are one or several cheeky ravens that have learned to approach humans and look expectant through the reward of food handouts. Ravens are very intelligent and if they can get crackers and peanuts and god only knows, bologna sandwiches while expending very little energy to do so, they will.
The problem is that even though they are omnivores, their digestive and metabolic systems are not optimized to benefit from cheese crackers and potato chips. By being fed human food they become pests, stealing from picnickers and literally pecking holes into or unzipping packs on bicycles, motorcycles and snowmobiles to get at food. Their nonchalance around cars sets them up for being hit. And if they don't practice finding food naturally, they may lose the ability to do so, leaving them in the lurch when humans suddenly disappear from large parts of the park when the roads close in winter.

"The Needles, a prominent granite spire formation in the Black Hills of South Dakota, are a striking geological feature within Custer State Park, formed over 1.8 billion years ago when molten magma cooled underground to create granite, which was later exposed through uplift and erosion.
These dramatic spires, including the Cathedral Spires, attract thousands of visitors annually for scenic drives, hiking, and world-class rock climbing, with the Needles Highway offering a 14-mile route through the formations, including narrow tunnels and pullouts for panoramic views."

Sunday Andy and I met up with Lance and Darren to shoot up Panther Creek Falls. For those of you new to my stream this falls has tried to kill me once before as you can see here ! As we started our drive there was about a foot of snow on the road so the whole way up I was mentally bracing myself but trying to act all tough. We made it to the pullout and walked up and down the road looking for the trailhead. Couldn't find the rope Greg and I used before to get down to the bottom. I looked at that steep snow covered hill and said "were gonna die"! Andrew spotted the rope so we slid our way to it. Being the gentlewoman that I am I let Andrew go first. I figured if he slips to his death with those carbide boots that this probably wasn't such a good idea! He made it so I grabbed the rope and slid on my a$$ the whole way down. As we were scaling the snowy hillside Lance yells my name which startled me and I screamed. Not as loud as when Randall tried to kill M and I but pretty loud nonetheless. I honestly didn't think those boys would make it up 6.4 miles of snow on a windy incline so for all of you who don' t know Lance , he laughs in the face of danger :) Long story short, you have to see this falls in person. Completely mesmerizing! I stood there gazing like a retard for 10 minutes before I realized I went there to shoot her. After Panther Andrew and I did Falls Creek which was even more brutal than when Aaron, Vinny and I did the 7 mile trek when the gate was closed. It is open now btw but doing the 3 mile hike in the slush is like doing it in sand dunes, not recommended :) So yesterday I had to re-coup from near hypothermia and exhaustion. Can't believe those boys had the energy to post yesterday but heres my version. Thank you for lookin and happy Tuesday!
From a pullout off the Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
With such a wide angle lens, I probably should have removed the CP filter before taking this shot (note the change in the blue of the sky), but I still like it!
Sadly, throughout Colorado (and other parts of the U.S.), you'll see swaths of dead pine trees. This is due to a pine beetle infestation from the past several years. Hopefully, the damage is slowing!

Mount Hood (45.4N, 121.7W) is the tallest mountain in Oregon (11,237 feet,
3,426 m) and popular with skiers, hikers, and climbers. It is 45 miles (75 km)
east-southeast of Portland, Oregon.
This was taken from the US-26E pullout.
Not exactly demanding of cliffs per se, large numbers of these swallows build house-like nests of mud, cemented together like little round adobe balls and stuck to the makeshift cliff with saliva. In this case, the "cliff" is the cement overhang on vault toilets at one particular pullout-trail head in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley area.They are present in huge numbers, at at this time of year, building or repairing the nests. There are so many of them flitting around they sometimes crash into each other, or fuss over a spot on the wall. They're most entertaining and like so much of Mother Nature's work, quite amazing as they fly to mud puddles and bring back mouthsful of mud.

This is part of The Conor Pass. a road found along the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. And what a road this was... as you can see, it's only wide enough for one car... and yet, this road is meant for traffic going either way. This meant that if you met someone along the road, one of you had to back up to a pullout (of which there did not seem to be very many) for passing purposes. And with the poor visibility due to fog/clouds, you can bet that my hands were gripping the steering wheel quite tightly.
At one point, I found a pullout to park in momentarily, while I hung over this wall to compose an image with my Hasselblad 500 C/M.

I've not been able to figure out what the white object stuck among its breast feathers was.
Trying to reposition between substorms Thursday night roughly worked out. The Ash Fork to Grand Canyon segment timed out near the end of the second flurry of aurora as the moon was getting low. Red pillars were visible naked eye here too but not as bold as the first and third events that night. I'm not as familiar with overlooks on the west end of the South Rim drive but there are some decent roadside pullouts that let me get set up quickly.

This picture was shot on a tripod with three exposures (-2..0..+2EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. 1 layer mask to increase contrast in the sky. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.

Here are two more photos from long long ago with my very first digital camera, a little pocket sized Canon point and shoot affair. This was my first visit to Skagway and the legendary gold rush railroad that calls that port town home. In addition to riding the length of the in service mainline to Carcross I also spent part of a Saturday photographing some trains. While most of the railroad is fabulously remote and inaccessible there are a few shots to be had from the roadsides. This view looking down from a pullout along the South Klondike Highway is one of the best.
Here is a northbound train near MP 25.5 on the Canadian Sub just under two miles from the depot, water tank and balloon loop at Fraser across from the Canadian Customs station. A GE-MLW-GE locomotive trio have 10 cars trailing as they roll through the rugged terrain beside the Tutshi River.
The road rostered 11 of the '90 Class' 83-ton six axle shovel nosed units that were built by GE in 1954, 1956, 1963, and 1966 and were similar in design to a popular export model. Since the date of this photo one (number 100) has been scrapped and the remaining 10 have all been heavily rebuilt having their original Alco 6-251 prime movers replaced with a Cummins QSK45L.
The middle unit is 1200 hp six axle Montréal Locomotive Works DL535E model built in May 1969. Of the eight units of this model on the roster she was one of five sold to Sociedad Colombiana de Transport Ferroviaro in 1992 but then repatriated seven years later by the WP&Y in 1999. In 2020 half of the roster were sold once again this time to the Durango and Silverton Railroad in Colorado leaving four still working on home rails.
The White Pass and Yukon Route is America’s busiest tourist railroad and an engineering marvel of any era. Regular tourist trains operate for the four month cruise ship season of mid-May to mid-Sept with the WP&Y largely dormant the remaining 8 months of the year. In days of old it was a 110 mile freight hauler supporting the Yukon mining industry and before that a major WWII supply conduit during the building of the Alaska Hwy. Like the town it calls home, the WP&Y was born during the heady days of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush and experienced booms and busts through the years but has persevered, and today is the most popular excursion for the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit Alaska each summer.
Construction began in May 1898 and on July 21, 1898, an excursion train hauled passengers for 4 miles out of Skagway, the first train to ever operate in the territory of Alaska. By February of the following year the rails reached 20 miles to the 2885 ft. White Pass Summit and on July 6, 1899 they reached the shote of Lake Bennett, thei approximate half way point to the road's planned terminus on the Yukon River in Whitehorse. It would be another year before the last spike was driven at Carcross on July 29, 1900 completing the railroad.
The 3 ft gauge pike would soldier through boom and bust periods for the next 82 years until the Faro lead/zinc mine which was its major source of revenue in later years closed in 1982. The railroad itself went dormant shortly thereafter but was revived six years later as strictly a passenger hauling tourist operation. While the vast majority of passengers only travel the 20 spectacular mountain climbing miles from tidewater to the international border at White Pass Summit the railroad ultimately reopened 67.5 miles to Carcross, Yukon leaving only the northern 40 miles bereft of trains for the past four decades (excepting one special that traveled all the way to the north end of the line in 1897 for the city's Centennial celebration).

Why are these tilted rock layers here?
We’ve parked in a pullout to look at the first of several Kolob box canyons. And right across the road are these tilted sandstone layers.
The Colorado Plateau was originally made from horizontal sediments deposited by water. In the past, they became deeply buried, where they were compressed into sandstone. So, here is a clue to the forces that created the Hurricane Fault and eventually, the Kolob Canyons.
These tilted layers were created from the pressure that occurred before the uplift of the Colorado Plateau. Those pressures bent the horizontal sediments into a large fold.
Movement along the Hurricane Fault raised the Colorado Plateau. The large fold was then uplifted and exposed to erosion which wore away the western half of the fold.
This is a part of the fold's eastern half, exposed as the tilted layers before you.

1. Enjoy the Drive
If you plan to drive in the park, you’ll need to come to the North Entrance here in Gardiner, Montana—it’s the only one open to regular vehicles in winter. From here, you can drive to places like Mammoth Hot Springs, Lamar Valley, and Silvergate and Cooke City. Follow the speed limit and use pullouts to watch wildlife, take pictures, and let other cars pass.
Nps.gov: Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity—fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and one of the most pristine on Earth. Artists, photographers, and sightseers gaze in wonder at its blue water and stunning setting atop the Cascade Mountain Range.
The 33-mile historic Rim Drive circumnavigates the lake and is open during summer and early fall (depending on weather and road conditions). Along the drive are 30 overlooks that were designed between 1931 and 1938 to highlight a specific view of the lake, a significant geologic formation in the caldera, or an environmental feature such as a subalpine meadow. Some of these stops have exhibits with information about the view. Other viewpoints leave room for visitor curiosity and discovery.
Where you choose to stop for a view of the lake or to capture the surrounding landscape of the park is a personal preference. Most of these pullouts do not have signs that offer a name or location. The park map indicates major stops that help with orientation. On average, visitors take two hours to complete the drive with eight or more stops.

Time to get some pics posted from Trish and my vacation in BC this past summer.
From our first day on July 07. There were a couple of Black Bears hanging out at a pullout north of Blue River, BC so we stopped to take a few shots from the car. It was nice to see bears on the first day of our trip.

While at a roadside pullout along the main park road in Joshua Tree National Park. The view is looking to the northwest to a hillside of snow covered plants. That was my thought on composing this image. The snow also helped to add this "puffiness" in the way it landed across the plant-life. I liked that look and focused the image on capturing that with a little bit of the hillside as a backdrop.
My wife gave me a pass to go act like a mountain man for a few days so I headed to one of my favorite National Parks - Mt. Rainier. It was like seeing an old friend again. I stayed at the Ohanapecosh Campground, set up my tent and then took a walk to Silver Falls. There is something about this falls that I can't get enough of. The next morning I got up early and headed to Sunrise. I was on the trail to the Second Borroughs around 8 a.m. I had the trail to myself. I had my guidebook with me and noticed it was almost exactly 39 years earlier that I took this trail for the first time. Back then I was younger and much fitter but I still got to the Second Burroughs in less than 2 hours (with a lot of photo stops on the way up.) The view from the top was incredible - and that is when I spotted the trail to the Third Burroughs. I thought about taking it but I didn't bring enough food and water with me. I had a quick snack and tried to relax but hundreds of big horseflies had different ideas so I had to head down sooner than I wanted to.
On the way down I passed about 60 people slogging their way up the trail, looking miserable in the heat. I was so glad for the early start. I can't wait to go back to Rainier and take on some new trails. I took these photos in late July 2018.
Note - this album consists of photos from my Canon 5D MK II and IPhone. I couldn't get them in chronological order - bummer.

I was hoping to capture a raven on my trip. The only possibilities were a pair of ravens that I saw at a roadside pullout in Joshua Tree NP. This one sat a little farther away as it's partner hopped around. I like it's expression best, so even though it was a little far away and a soft image, this is my favorite.
