Another view of Imnaha Canyon as I descended the plateau. The pullout was one of several provided to cool the car's brakes as I was on a 7-mile 16% grade on one-lane gravel/dirt washboard teeth-rattling road.
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.
Market Street Railway Twin Coach trolleybus 50 (ex-Seattle 614) is pulling out to Haight and Ashbury to celebrate the opening of line 33-Ashbury extension to Children's Hospital. The 33 was San Francisco's first trolley coach line, starting in 1935 with 9 similar Brill trolleybuses. This was the only time #50 has ever operated, but it's still at Muni. The mural was painted over a long time ago. February 6, 1988. © 2014 Peter Ehrlich

Editor's Note: Ten beautiful years of Chandra! This image from 2006 shows a neutron star in Virgo that's racing through space.
This wide-field composite image was made with X-ray (blue/ROSAT & Chandra), radio (green/Very Large Array), and optical (red/Digitized Sky Survey) observations of the supernova remnant, IC 443. The pullout, also a composite with a Chandra X-ray close-up, shows a neutron star that is spewing out a comet-like wake of high-energy particles as it races through space.
Based on an analysis of the swept-back shape of the wake, astronomers deduced that the neutron star known as CXOU J061705.3+222127, or J0617 for short, is moving through the multimillion degree Celsius gas in the remnant. However, this conclusion poses a mystery.
Although there are other examples where neutron stars have been located far away from the center of the supernova remnant, these neutron stars appear to be moving radially away from the center of the remnant. In contrast, the wake of J0617 seems to indicate it is moving almost perpendicularly to that direction.
One possible explanation is that the doomed progenitor star was moving at a high speed before it exploded, so that the explosion site was not at the observed center of the supernova remnant. Fast-moving gusts of gas inside the supernova remnant may have further pushed the pulsar's wake out of alignment. An analogous situation is observed for comets, where a wind of particles from the Sun pushes the comet tail away from the Sun, out of alignment with the comet's motion.
If this is what is happening, then observations of the neutron star with Chandra in the next 10 years should show a detectable motion away from the center of the supernova remnant.

This stone sign is attached to the base of a fire watch tower in northeast Oregon at Hat Point Fire Lookout. It's probably the best viewpoint of Hells Canyon. I got there in a minivan but the road is dirt, narrow and steep in places with few pullouts (to get out of the way for oncoming vehicles). RVs are not recommended. If you decide to go, do a little reading first.
I'll be processing an posting some images from this location over the next few days. (DSC_9126.jpg)
PCC 1052 (Los Angeles) is approaching King/2nd Street Station on an early morning pullout run. The HDR image effect makes it a more "dreamy" scene. 7.6.2017 (UK-style date). © 2017 Peter Ehrlich
An HDR panorama taken from the Lava Cliffs pullout on the top of Trail Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park. Photo consists of 4 frames, 3 shots each. Each frame was then turned into an HDR image, and the final 4 HDR shots were merged in Photoshop.
This copy of Woman's Weekly magazine is mostly complete, but missing two leaves (8 pages) from the centre of the booklet, possibly a pullout section? It is 94 pages in total.
It's been a while since I've done up a bookmark, this little pano was a good fit.

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 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.
On my visit to Crater Lake we stopped at this little pull out park.. I loved the type of fences they had constructed there.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody !!
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 auditorially) 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.
A second path at the Pu'u Hinahina pullout leads to this view of Ni'ihau, called the Forbidden Island.
This view was from a pullout along Fighting Creek Gap Road. And the colors were just amazing for the second week of November.
Highway 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert - which needs more pullouts - the drive is stunning. Every bend of the road opens up new vistas. The railway and the road swap positions frequently and the trees do block the view now and again. But mostly even though there is a hard shoulder on each side of the road, its a 100 km/hr highway so pulling over is not something to do lightly. There were many waterfalls that went undocumented.
My other half spotted the light breaking over the Teton Range while I was concentrating on not hitting any wildlife that strayed into the road. Lucky for us we were near a pullout where I could grab a shot or two before the clouds closed in once more.
Sun setting over the Grand Tetons. This was taken from the Glacier Overlook pullout right off Hwy 89 looking southwest. Grand Teton National Park 12-3-11
In Rocky My Pk on Old Fall River Rd - was the original dirt road to the top with several switchback's - one way road and that's going up. With a few pullouts for fa walk bout.
This view is from a small pullout on the southwest side of the Rim Drive in Crater Lake National Park, OR. I had driven all day and got to Crater Lake late. I had driven across the blue horizon to get there and was rewarded with this magical evening view.
Here is Gibbon Falls, one of Yellowstone's easily viewable falls, swollen with winter melt. While it is easily viewed from a well-designed roadside pullout, it's hard to photograph because the light on it, regardless of season or time of day, is always un-photo friendly. I was pleased enough with what I got this day.
Each photo in this series was taken from a different pedestrian overlook.
This shot was taken from some rocks near the smaller pullout. The two visible peaks that are framed by the trees are Ypsilon Mountain and Fairchild Mountain.
I got there early, and I had the pullout to myself so I set up to get ready for sunset. This is a three shot panorama.
The Oregon Coast near Lincoln City, Oregon. Their is a pullout which reachs into the ocean like a spit which allowed me to get these images.
Simon: *strolls in, flip-flops slapping loudly* “Where’re Emma and Z?” *sprawls next to Kumi, yawning hugely* Did they survive kipping on the pullout?”
Kumi (flippantly): “They’re young and supple. They’ll bounce right back from having their spines pretzeled. Probably.”
Simon: “Too right. Better them than us. You do realize if you and Yuri hadn’t dragged your feet on choosing a house for us to holiday in down here, we’d be sleeping in relative comfort right now, yeah?”
Kumi: “Untrue. Mags wouldn’t sleep anywhere but here. She wants to be in the immediate vicinity when Satoru returns. If that wasn’t the case, forget the vacation home, we’d be in a five-star hotel with spa.”
Simon: “When he returns, not if?”
Kumi: *shakes head* “Mags won’t survive ‘if.’ Besides, I find that…I want to see Satoru back safely, too.”
Simon: *arches an eyebrow* “Really?”
Kumi (stiffly): “Believe it or not, even when I severely dislike people, I don’t wish them dead…unless we’re talking about Grandfather. He’s a special case.”
Simon: *throws an arm around Kumi, pulling her close* “And believe it or not, I already know you’re a soft touch, pet. You’re mostly bark, sometimes bite. So where’s Mags?”
Kumi: “She went for a walk. She’s feeling nauseated again and thought the fresh air might help. Satoru going MIA has really screwed up her digestion, plus I think there’s something else bothering her, but she won’t share it with me. *unusually subdued expression* Yuri should’ve come. I’m no good with this kind of stuff. All I do is say the wrong things. I don’t want to kick her when she’s down.”
Simon: *kisses Kumi’s forehead* “You’re doing just fine, Kumi. You and Yuri have different ways of going about things, true, but that’s not to say one is necessarily better than the other. You make Mags laugh. You exasperate her. You make her forget for a couple of ticks why we’re all here. I think you’re exactly what she needs.”
Kumi: *lays her head on Simon’s chest, sighs* “Thanks.”

As Hurricane Kate dissipated, it came through southern California. On this day I headed to the Laguna Mountains. This shot was taken from a roadside pullout. The clouds had dropped and a fog was drifting in and out. I watched it come and go, and tried several compositions. I was drawn to the line of rocks leading to the large tree with the smaller tree beside it and the distant trees fading into the fog. Shortly after taking this shot, the sky opened up in a downpour. Even though I had a rain jacket, I was grateful to have the shelter of my car to retreat into.
This rapid can be seen from a roadside pullout along the Klondike Highway in northern Yukon, but you need a drone to get far enough out to fully separate the islands from the shore.

Still playing with raising the flash up high with only the speedlight pullout diffuser. For Riley's shot I also added a black foamy partial snoot to keep the light from straying upward. Not sure it improved things, however, and ultimately removed it for Toby's shot.
The lack of a softbox does create a harsher light, but as the boys eyes are covered by the hat, the models don't mind.
Note to self - back the cot up a few inches next time.
My "studio" is the spare bedroom - at least for now - and so space is a bit tight.

No matter how brief your stay in Honolulu, one sight you can't miss is the incredible sunset view of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the one of the pullouts on Round Top and Tantalus Drives. It is a 10 mile loop with incredible scenery. Just remember to take your circular polarizer off when doing the wide angle landscapes with lots of blue sky, otherwise your shot will look like mine.
