This photo taken from the pullout to the (closed) parking lot at Swauk Campground. You can see a band of larches on the high hill. I bet that as I type this 4.5 days later it is much more golden up there. This is almost all the way to the summit, as it turns out (if I'm reading maps correctly.)
Minutes before I pulled up a lone wolf had walked across the highway, over the snow and across the pullout-parking area, and disappeared into the woods.
I took another shot of this print with my key ring stretch out next to it. This was a pretty good sized wolf; when I got home I measured the space between the claw marks and the heel mark where my key ring was. My estimate is that the pug is 4.5-5 inches in length.

We parked at a pullout on the road to Spalding Bay and set out on foot, involving a little bit of bush-whacking, to see what was over the rise. We found this lovely pond reflecting the iconic Mounts Moran and Woodring in the Teton range.
We saw no wildlife but we saw pile of "probable" bear scat nearby. Don't hike there without bear spray.
Big Bend National Park, Texas.
Seen from a pullout just inside the park's western entrance. While the park is huge and has countless Chihuahuan Desert views, I'm not aware of any other scenes like this.
toward Delta; a much more favorable light.

Summer 2014 2nd leg: "Getting High"
July 9: Stopping at every pullout at Black Canyon of the Gunnison's south rim; getting through Grand Junction unnoticed; setting up camp at Fisher Towers.
This composite image of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 shows Chandra X-ray Observatory data in blue, optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope in green and orange, and infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. The pullout is a Chandra image that shows the central region of the galaxy and contains two bright X-ray sources -- identified in a labeled version -- of special interest.
New studies with Chandra and ESA's XMM-Newton show that these two sources may be intermediate-mass black holes, with masses in between those of the stellar-mass and supermassive variety. These "survivor" black holes avoided falling into the center of the galaxy and could be examples of the seeds required for the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxies, including the one in the Milky Way.
This is the first case where good evidence for more than one mid-sized black hole exists in a single galaxy. The evidence comes from how their X-ray emission varies over time and analysis of their X-ray brightness and spectra, i.e., the distribution of X-rays with energy.
One of the black holes is located at a projected distance of 290 light years from the center of M82 (labeled with an "x") and its mass is estimated to be between 12,000 and 43,000 times the mass of the Sun. At this close distance, if the black hole was born at the same time as the galaxy and its mass was more than about 30,000 solar masses, it likely would have been pulled into the center of the galaxy. That is, it may have just escaped falling into the supermassive black hole that is presumably located in the center of M82. The second black hole is located 600 light years in projection away from the center of M82. The best model for this M82 black hole has a mass between 200 and 800 times that of the Sun, and tilted at an angle between 60 and 80 degrees, meaning that the disk is viewed almost side-on. However, because of relativistic effects for a rapidly spinning black hole with this mass, a disk viewed at a high inclination is almost as bright as one viewed at a low inclination (i.e., face-on).
These results are interesting because they may help address the mystery of how supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies form. M82 is located about 12 million light years from Earth and is the nearest place to us where the conditions are similar to those in the early Universe, with lots of stars forming.
Multiple observations of M82 have been made with Chandra beginning soon after launch. The Chandra data shown here were not used in the new research because the X-ray sources are so bright that some distortion is introduced into the X-ray spectra. To combat this, the pointing of Chandra is changed so that images of the sources are deliberately blurred, producing fewer counts in each pixel.

At a roadside pullout along the Bow Valley Parkway with a view looking to the northwest. This is in Banff National Park. My thought on composing this image was to get down low and center myself with the highway as a leading line into the image. Centering would also help to create a balance between the two sides of the roads with the tall trees all around. I liked how there was a set of peaks off in the distance in the image center.

Norfolk Southern SD60 #6611 works a pullout job at Burnham Yard in Hegewisch, Chicago, as a westbound South Shore Line train is about to cross the ex-Pennsy "Bernice Cutoff" and stop at Hegewisch station.
Incidentally, this marks my 1,000th photo posted to Flickr!
This is my current setup. Subject to (constant) change.
Roll over the image for notes about equipment.

Ashridge House is a beautiful property hidden away within the Ashridge Estate, surrounded by woodlands of oak and beech in the rolling Chiltern Hills. The majestic double helical solid oak and steel staircase exemplifies the grandeur of the property and reflects the breathtaking beauty of its natural surroundings.
The organic design comprises two curved staircases including oak strings, treads, risers, apron boards and handrails with a matching gallery. The lower stair has curved entry treads with 2D risers and is flared out with handrail volutes on both sides, giving an impression of natural elegance.
However, it is the balustrades of steel spindles flanking the stairs on both sides which make this staircase something truly special. The delicate curved lines of the painted steel are something of an optical illusion, creating the unique sensation that the balustrade is rippling in exquisite waves as you pass by.
The concept and design grew from a seed of an idea from the client in the form of a hand-drawn sketch and pullout from a magazine. Kevala Stars team then worked closely with the client and their architect to nurture this initial idea into the unique staircase that exists today. Retaining the original concept, yet interpreting the design to fit the feature into the available space, Kevala Stairs thus successfully fulfilled the client’s aspirations.
A roadside pullout in the Red Canyon part of the Dixie National Forest. This view of the freshly fallen snow reminded me of another time in Yellowstone when I saw something similar. Pure white snow on the greens of the trees, all across the hillsides. This view felt magical, almost like a postcard, and that's what I wanted to capture in this image. I cropped the view so it had more of a wide-angle, sweeping view.
I pullout out the folded white panel floor mat for the TP shot the other day, and this is what Henry did.
He's so used to be asked to lie on whatever I put down (pillows/rugs/etc.)
Toby looks a bit more in need of instructions.
Welcome to my "Studio"...
The black legs on the right are for the umbrella (just visible) and flash.
The legs in the back corners support the bar that will soon be draped with the background fabric.
I also still need to clip the reflector to the fridge, on the left.
All the magic happens within that 8'x8' square.

Camping at Bird Point. Most people know Bird Point as a curve in the Seward Highway with a small pullout, but if you cross the railroad tracks you'll find a little trove of wooded coves, iceberg-scoured headlands, marshes, and winding trails.
Note: don't walk *on* the railroad tracks. The curve in the tracks around the point makes it a blind corner, and trains move through here quickly. Check both directions and walk directly across the tracks. Avoid the mudflats--they're especially soft and sinky here.
West side crews dropped into Skagit County this week clearing all the way to the Crater Creek pullout at milepost 146.7 this week. There is more than two feet of snow on the road though conditions on Thursday afternoon were around 40 degrees. In addition to dealing with snow, crews have to deal with trees, rocks and other debris - some of which comes down in between clearing days. Thanks to Jim, Art and their team for all their work this week. They'll be back at it on Monday, April 2.
I wanted to go to Keys View where I read the sunset view was really great. However, as soon as I turned onto the road a couple of NPS ranger cars were blocking the road. I thought I heard them say there was flooding. In any case, Keys View was closed. So, I turned around and went to the nearest pullout with a sunset view.
For many years there has been a pullout and a sign indicating the location of Frying Pan Spring but no way to see the whole feature which is a short distance from the road through a very healthy and thick lodgepole pine forest. Finally when the road was rehabilitated some years ago, the pullout was slightly enlarged and a first rate boardwalk back through the woods to the site of this complex (though not especially beautiful) geothermal feature was built. It is still one of the least-visited interesting sites in Yellowstone.
It's name derives from the constant bubbling of some of the feature's pools (visually, but not aurally), reminiscent of a sizzling pan. The pH of this feature is a remarkable 1 - about as acidic as it gets - so don't stick a finger in it. Fine place to hide a body, though.
Located near the community of Mosier between Hood River and The Dalles, this roadside pullout has one of the most incredible views of the Columbia Gorge. The wide, paved area is at the top of a high hill, which allows for spectacular panoramic views of the Columbia River, a hidden lake, the curved highway and arid cliffsides.
This view was captured one fine morning as we were traveling east on I-84, and quickly pulled off at a pullout when this scene unfolded before us. It was as if the heavens opened up through the stormy weather, and guided us with its golden light. What a glorious morning, to behold such a wonderful sight.
Happy Monday Everybody!

This is part of the Book Cliffs, which stretch for 200 miles in Western Colorado near Grand Junction.
I know this would probably look better at a sunrise or sunset but unfortunately I had to head back to Denver. This was taken on a pullout on the I-70.
Riding up the Ocoee River Gorge one morning I stopped at a pullout with a small hiking trail that followed this stream up into the hills. I spent about a half hour exploring and shooting some photos before riding into North Carolina.
I am only a couple of weeks from New York City and have a ton of photos to sort through. Hopefully I can post some more here in the next couple days.
Thanks for looking.

i shot this sunset recently from the top of Rich Mountain on the Talimena Scenic Byway; this ridgetop drive runs over 50 miles from Mena, Arkansas to Talihina, Oklahoma and has many pullouts for vistas.

Party time at the Grizzly Peak pullout. I was not party to the party.

No, not done yet. I was driving across Nevada in the middle of nowhere when the light turned epic-again! When I saw a pullout I just had to stop. I took this as semi's blew by. Every time I think I'm done shooting something like this happens. Has the Light Fairy been good to me on this trip or what?
I've become a huge fan of the badlands of the Little Missouri River valley, all the more so after visiting the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park last Sunday (8-31-2014). I climbed down to one of the eroded spines that extends into the valley beneath the Edge of Glacier pullout and found a variety of plant life clinging anywhere it could find a foothold.
