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.

From my trip several years ago to Crater Lake.. A most beautiful spot, for sure..
A setting looking west to the moon seemingly hanging over a nearby ridge at a roadside pullout in Pinnacles National Park. My thought on composing this image was to find a balance between the ridge crossing to my front with that of the moon, hanging in the skies above. I exposed for the highlights, knowing I could pull out the more shadowed areas later in post-production.
Just enjoying a quiet moment of reflection on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia NP in Maine.
There's a nice auto road to the top of Cadillac Mountain so any one can enjoy the sunrises and sets from the summit. The best sunrise shots are fro the summit and the best sunset shots are for the Blue Hill pullout just before the summit on the west side of the mountain.
So-called "Wrecker's pullout" is a tiny spur off the main road from Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance in Yellowstone. It is the trail head for a very nice walk along the top of the cliffs over the Yellowstone River to the confluence with the Lamar River (a favorite of fishermen) and beyond. I've seen many kinds of wildlife there, but this day, this lone bull bison and I were the only large beings there. He slowly moved toward me, with his head down in the snow munching what little forage he could glean. It was a most peaceful and enjoyable wildlife-watching session for me. Of course, he didn't say whether he enjoyed watching me, sitting on a big boulder watching him, one way or the other.
A recent George Pitarys posting triggered some nostalgia on my part over one of my first railfan-mobiles, a 1980 Plymouth Volare. It wasn't memorialized in too many photos but makes a cameo here. Since our first visit we've referred to that small pullout on the other side of the tracks as the "railfan parking spot". The main attraction at Eagle Mills Jct. this day was the North Western wayfreight returning to Escanaba with a colorful mix of empty clay cars. August 17, 1991.
Atigun Pass, Brooks Range, Dalton Highway, Alaska.
Busy here, and also trying to clean up my hard drives. This is a scan of a 35mm slide, taken by Lenore.
This is the same place I shot the bison from last week. However this is about 10 hours later as afternoon thunderstorms were rolling in. The light painting the hills caught my eye so we rolled into a pullout and sat and watched the sky change.
Another one that works far, far better (IMO) in black and white because the bits of random tree branches at the bottom of the frame are really distracting when they're in color. Really happy that a shot of something non-iconic or, rather, something not shot so often, turned out OK.
Shot at the pullout for viewing Wildcat Falls by simply turning around. This was the first trip ever for Robin's sister and her photographer man, and it was a doozy. Snow storms, driving at night on unfamiliar roads, rental cars, wrecks (not us), you-name-it.
Turned out rather well, all things considered.

Perhaps the most popular waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, Narada Falls has an ever-present following of visitors. Veiling over a wall of basalt, the Paradise River slides and plunges 17 feet into a small pool then spreads out and veils 159 feet in a lacy display that can stretch to 75 feet wide at peak flow. When the river is running high, be prepared to get soaked at the viewpoint - the spray is always funneled straight at the trail. While the commonly enjoyed viewpoint provides the best views of the falls, a second, less developed viewpoint further downstream yields a side view of the falls from below, which has been used for some of the more famous pictures of this waterfall. The falls can also be partially viewed from the side of SR 706 near a large pullout about ½ a mile east of the bridge over the Paradise River. During the winter, the falls freeze and become 150 feet of Icicles, which attract ice climbers from afar.

It has just come to my attention that today is National Bird Day. I didn't want to miss this occasion so I am honoring this day with a photo of my very favorite songbird, the American Dipper. While parked at a pullout in Lamar River Valley we heard birdsong coming from a nearby bridge. Following the song we wandered down to find this Dipper. Prior to this I had not even known of its existence but this bird quickly stole my heart. The Dipper is an aquatic songbird that can dive several feet below the water's surface in search of food. As soon as it resurfaces it continues singing its beautiful tune.
The purpose of National Bird Day is to raise awareness that nearly "12 percent of the world's 9,800 bird species may face extinction within the next century,...Birds are a sentinel species whose plight serves as a barometer of ecosystem health and alert system for detecting global environment ills."
Because of its need for clean water streams or rivers the Dipper is an indicator species of water quality. If you see a dipper in a stream or river, you know the water is free from pollutants. October 30, 2014

We found a herd of these in the desert of Joshua Tree National Park. Unfortunately, the road has very few pullouts save for the ones next to the main attractions, so it wasn't long after we got out of the car that a mean, fat lady screeched at us too get out of the way of her car.
It's the first day of full service for the J-Church Extension. Previously, it was used for pullouts and pull-ins only, even though it had been operational since 1991. June 19, 1993. © 2015 Peter Ehrlich
A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views of a hillside with evergreen trees and a backdrop of blue skies and clouds. This is at a roadside pullout along Alberta Highway 93A in Jasper National Park.
No trip to Glacier National Park would be complete without a mountain goat sighting. We saw them most often near Logan's Pass, and this one was right on Going-To-The-Sun-Road. We stopped at the nearest pullout and I grabbed my camera.
Both CityLynx Gomaco trolleys pull out just before six in the morning. Here's 91 at East/West Blvd. Station. 92 followed about 10 minutes later. Service on CityLynx starts at 6:00 am on weekdays. August 20, 2015. © 2015 Peter Ehrlich

My No. 1, top of the list drive is through Glenwood Canyon just east of Glenwood Springs, CO. The only problem is they don't have enough pullouts where one can capture the scene. So sometimes a guy just has to hold his camera up to the windshield and snap, hoping for the best.
When I-70 planners talked to the folks in Colorado about cutting the interstate through the canyon they were met with a firm 'NO!'. The locals loved the beautiful canyon and didn't want the road to spoil it.
So the engineers went to the drawing board and figured out a way to do it without negatively impacting the experience.
The eastbound and westbound roads are separated so one does not have to worry about oncoming traffic. And somehow, they made the road blend in with the canyon as it regarded sound and design. When you are down on the river you can't hear the traffic, and you hardly notice the highway.
Still playing with raising the flash up high with only the speedlight pullout diffuser.
This creates a much harsher flash (than the usual softbox) but as the boys eyes are covered by the hat, the models don't mind.
Although Toby is a "stiff" model, this pose is one he'll hold without complaint.

This was an awesome day. We left Egilsstadir early for the drive to Myvatn. We passed a number of waterfalls (with no pullouts or names) until we came to Rjukandafoss - a beautiful waterfall with several sections. When hiked as the trail and had some great views. Nice start to the day. Back on the road to cover what is known as the Big Sky Country of Iceland - pretty much a lot of nothing. We were headed for Dettifoss - a major waterfall on my Bucket List. It exceeded expectations. Absolutely stunning visually and auditory - it is massive. I tried some long exposure with a tripod but it felt like the ground was shaking. Heather let me check out another waterfall about a mile away - Selfoss. If Dettifoss wasn't around, this would be a major destination by itself. Very different than Dettifoss but awesome on its own. I stayed for a bit and just ogled everything. Simply wow. I returned to the car and Heather dragged me off to another trail with very cool canyon views. We heard there was a third waterfall very close by so naturally we went. It was amazing. There were about 2-3 other people at Hafragilsfoss. Good God Almighty - this waterfall was spectacular - and the guidebook said this was difficult to reach with a 4x4 and best skipped. I'm glad we ignored this (the road was actually a piece of cake). Side note - the area around here looked like Martian landscape. We were in Heaven! We reluctantly headed to Myvatn - the Icelandic equivalent of Yellowstone. It was nice but we must be jaded since we live so close to Yellowstone. All in all, a very nice day, and I definitely want to go back to Dettifoss and the other falls.
I took these photos in mid-September 2021.
The name Soap Lake came from the word Smokiam, an Indian term which translates to “Healing Waters.” The tribes used the lake for healing purposes for themselves and their animals for many years before the area was settled by pioneers.

At a roadside pullout along Montana Highway 17 just outside Babb, Montana, with a view looking to the southwest at an osprey nest on a pole. One of the ospreys had just begun to fly off.

Lower Barronette isn't a shorter shorter version of Barronette Peak, it's a pullout next to a bridge over Soda Butte Creek at the head of a trail that's idea for cross-country skiing in winter. Look upstream toward Barronette Peak, or look downstream for a view of the meandering creek that's beautiful at all times of the year.
Good luck even finding the pullout, to say nothing about seeing a view.
Catalina Highway, Coronado National Forest, Arizona.
Conveniently (miraculously) a small group of bison cows had parked themselves in dense deadfall within a few dozen yards of a pullout on Yellowstone northwest side. One of them was accompanied by a brand-new calf; in the photo of the mother and calf standing together you can just make out a few inches of dried umbilical cord still attached to baby. The mother was horribly thin, as most bison are at the end of a Yellowstone winter, but not eating, which is unusual. Eventually she did lie down to rest next to her tiny new baby.
Bison calves are called "red dogs," first for their color, which will turn to brown by fall, and second, for the cowboy term "dogie" referring to domestic cattle calves.
Facing southwestward. At the same cliffside pullout from which the Part 11 cuestita photo was taken. See the top of that description for the exact location.
This is one of a pair of last photos I took on the Old Ore Road trek. After that I had to attend to getting my tour group up to the main park road before the light completely faded.
In a recent post in another series, I mentioned my fascination with backlit photos. Here the backlit object is the Chisos Mountains at sunset.
This slide was invested with unearthly emerald-green zones that I have not attempted to alter or remove. It's how the film reacted to the dying light of day's end. And if there is any place on the planet where inexplicable and supernatural things can occur, this is it. In my old age I include such things in my vocabulary.
The rugged landscape of the foreground may already be wrapped in twilit gloom, but the meanders of its creek are still visible, as are the steeply northwest-dipping strata of the Upper Cretaceous Aguja and Javelina Formations. Beyond them stretches the low ground of the Tornillo Basin.
I have tried my best to identify the high points of the dark mass that sits under the surreal purplish-pink stratocumulus clouds. I think the loftiest bump at center is Toll Mountain, the almost squared-off cliff to its right is Casa Grande, and the prominence farther to the right is Pulliam Peak. At least this seems to be the sequence when I run up the Google Earth track all the way from the pullout to the Chisos Range 15 mi / 24 km distant.

There is a pullout at this location and a trailhead (which I did not attempt). I'm glad I stopped because the panoramic view was pretty awesome. This is a six shot pano. Wizard Island is pretty much lost in the glare from the sun. I considered removing the person on the right, but I decided that he adds an element of contemplation or awe to the scene (if he is noticed at all).

Here's one of my b-w takes on the historic northern Moulton Barn north of Jackson, Wyoming (USA).
This is probably one of the top five sites most often photographed in Jackson Hole. The other four would be the southern Moulton Barn, Grand Teton from the Snake River Pullout, beaver dam at Schwabachers Landing and Oxbow Bend.

A colorful formation in contrast to the gray cliffs that follow the Hole-in-the-Rock Road, Devil’s Garden is a unique, easily-accessible natural play park. After driving 12 miles down the graded road, there is a signed pullout for this spot designated as an “Outstanding Natural Area.”
As part of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, this desert destination features hoodoos, natural arches, and various sandstone formations—some are reminiscent, on a smaller scale, to areas such as Goblin Valley.
Devil’s Garden is a maze of sandstone formations formed by, and continuously shaped by, erosion. Nature’s hand has been at work since the Jurassic Period more than 166 million years ago. Presently, Devil’s Garden boasts hoodoos, arches, and other rock protrusions from the sandy, desert landscape.

As we watched this Coyote hunt near one of our favorite pullouts on the south end of Hayden Valley we were puzzled as to what he seemed to be catching and eating. What ever it was, they were to small for us to see from our vantage point. The only thing we could think of as he snapped his jaws from one side of his body to the other was grasshoppers. It seemed like a lot of work for such little reward.
Best viewed 'L'arge.
Again, just driving along a park road on our way to the coast we stumbled upon this, actually popular, pullout.

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) have discovered a high-speed jet stream sitting over Jupiter’s equator, above the main cloud decks.
Researchers spotted several wind shears, or areas where wind speeds change with height or distance, which enabled them to track the jet. This image highlights several of the features around Jupiter’s equatorial zone that are very clearly disturbed by the motion of the jet stream during a rotation of the planet. The right white boxes contain images taken ten hours apart of Jupiter’s equatorial zone. The coloured cut-outs show the movement of several features caused by the jet.
The discovery of this jet is providing insight into how the layers of Jupiter’s famously turbulent atmosphere interact with each other, and how Webb is uniquely capable of tracking those features. Researchers are looking forward to additional observations of Jupiter with Webb to determine if the jet’s speed and altitude change over time.
[Image description: The infographic shows Webb’s image of Jupiter at the left. On the right side there are eight separate images. Two of these images are horizontal and span the entire right half of the infographic. They are zoomed-in pullouts from a section of Jupiter’s equator – outlined in a white box on the image of the planet on the left. Both of these images are white and grey with horizontal wispy clouds. There are six smaller boxes in between the two horizontal images. The first column of the boxes is outlined in orange, the second column purple and the third yellow. Each of the smaller images correspond to orange, purple, and yellow boxes placed along the horizontal images.]
