Pahto (Mount Adams), seen from Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Last weekend I decided to meet up with a friend for a sunset hike at Mount Rainier National Park. We made detailed plans ahead of time for both the hike and sunset watching, and then ended up both arriving later than planned, doing a different hike, and hiking more slowly than anticipated due to snow (yes, more snow!) on the trail and a stop to search for my friend's dropped phone. But sunset wasn't until 8:51pm so we figured we still had plenty of time.
We were hiking with the sun behind us, and time was flying by as it has a way of doing when we hike together, so when we emerged from a forested section of the trail into a meadow, we suddenly noticed that the sun was starting to drop into the trees, and realized we had to turn around and hustle back down the trail to where we had planned to watch the sunset over Tahoma (Mount Rainier).
As we hiked at a quick pace back, through every break in the trees, my eyes were drawn to this view of Pahto and the south Cascades. In the evening light, with that fog rising from the forest below, I finally decided it was necessary to stop for photos, despite our time constraints.
Note: Pahto is the second highest peak in Washington, standing 12,281 feet/3743 meters tall and is considered one of the 5 active volcanoes in the state, although the last eruption was 1000 years ago. It is one of the five sacred mountains to the native Yakama peoples and part of the mountain is territory of the Yakama Nation.
This picture was taken a couple weeks ago, while my hubby and I were driving to Ontario from Alberta to visist family.
Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

Three new EMD GP60Ms speed Santa Fe’s 188 train through Ethel, Missouri, at 1:11 p.m. on June 16, 1990. The third locomotive in the consist is No. 111 on its first trip west on the railway.
This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.
This is where sweet water and salt water meet in Stockholm. Following the racing boat would lead us to the ocean. Going in the other direction we end up in Lake Mälaren.
We had made a stop alongside Loch Shin where we had finally found calm water and some stunning reflections. In the 2-3 minutes it took to grab the gear the breeze was up and the reflections were gone. Mindful of this, when we arrived at a still Loch Stack, I raced across the marshy shore to capture not only a near perfect reflection but also some lovely fleeting light on Arkle and the foreground reeds. I managed just 3 exposures before the breeze once again returned, the water rippled and this was to be the last reflection we would capture that afternoon.
Finally made it to one of the races back in July, i found it quite hard to get a good shot. Here one of the juniors racing.

I'm not sure what type these little dinghies are - but the flourescent sail stood out wonderfully against a rather threatening sky.

Designed by Populous, the same architects who designed the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, the new building opened in 2011, bringing a modern touch to the former WW2 airfield.

The thrill of racing. My restoration and digital hand colorization of Leif Wikström´s image from the 1974 Emsalö Runt regatta in the Porvoo (Borgå) archipelago (southern Finland). The B&W picture is in the Finnish Heritage Agency archive (finna.fi).
The race has been organized since 1909 and is thus one of the oldest sailing events in Finland.
The name and type of the boat are not mentioned. If one looks closely, there is a name on the hull which I read as Seej.. Any additional information is welcome.
