Krkonoše (in Czech; also Karkonosze in Polish, Riesengebirge in German, or the Giant Mountains) is a mountain range located in the north of the Czech Republic and the south-west of Poland, part of the Sudetes mountain system. The Czech-Polish border, which divides the historic regions of Bohemia and Silesia, runs along the main ridge. The highest peak, Sněžka, is the Czech Republic's highest point with an elevation of 1,602 metres.
On both sides of the border, large areas of the mountains are designated national parks (the Krkonoše National Park in the Czech Republic and the Karkonosze National Park in Poland), and these together constitute a cross-border biosphere reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. The River Elbe rises within the Krkonoše. The range has a number of major ski resorts, and is a popular destination for tourists engaging in downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking, cycling and other activities.

In these troubled COVID-19 times, me & family somehow managed to buy a weekend house just between Krkonoše and Jizerské hory mountain ranges, Czechia - a place literally in the middle of nowhere, accessible only by 4WD in spring/autumn, and with snowmobile in winter.
These are photographs from its surroundings.

Already gold with tannins, this section of the Emu River is awash with blossoms from the overhanging Golden Wattle trees.

A different kind of rolling hill...sandy and dry, but just as beautiful as the traditional green, lush kind.

The light was great in the late afternoon. We came to a stop at this spot and look to the distant rolling green. The sign was correct.

The last time I visited the Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park things were a bit of a disaster. Willie loves to arrive early to things, which is usually great. It gives us time to get settled, scout out an area, find the best views and make sure we donât screw anything up. Thatâs normally fine ... except when itâs 85°F with absolutely no shade and sunset isnât for 4 more hours. After getting little sleep the night before, Willie woke me up from my nap to demand we head out to the sand dunes. We spent hours trying to hide from the sun after realizing we had gotten out there way too early.
Determined not to make the same mistake again, we got a few tips from David on where to head once at the sand dunes. We had left his house in Las Vegas at 3am and made the trek over to Death Valley in time for sunrise and we lugged our massive âBazookaâ telephoto lenses out with us. We arrived early but not too early!
Although David pointed us in a general direction, we still struggled to find compositions. Both of us ran around trying to find the shapes and patterns we had seen others find. Willie stayed in a small area while I explored further. At one point I found this view, setup, and fired a few quick photos before running off to try a different view. It wasnât until I got home that I realized I had found a spot with these beautiful rolling sand dunes!

Although I have not been here in say 20 years I am absolutely certain it does not look like this any more. This UP freight is rolling through Spadra towards LA and I am certain these green hills are now covered in houses. Nov 1987.

Brian Jones-
The very first time I saw him preform in a video, I was hooked on him. Not as out there as Mick, a bit quieter on stage, his amazing talent on so many instruments gave the recordings the Stones made an edge that I find lacking in contemporary groups.
The addition of guitar, piano, flute, marimba. steel guitar, Appalachian dulcimer, harmonica, or sitar played by Brian, were certainly an innovation that gave the Stones top billing for sound in an era when so many groups were vying for attention and record sales.
I have selected two videos to accompany this photo( taken from a live investigation of his death), I hope you will watch and listen to and remember a talent taken from the world all too soon.
I will continue to feature a tribute to this young man not only out of a deep conviction that his death was arranged (some would call it murder) but also because I miss him so much and I don't wish for him to be forgotten, ever.

MMID's UBHF digs in for the climb to Highfield with a quartet of SD40M-2s rebuilt from SD45s. The jointed rail feels the weight of a train now just 2 times every M-W-F, a far cry from the days when this was Western Maryland's main line.
D-L PT-98 was blasting off from Pocono Summit after pausing for lunch. I paused as well and had a nice Cheesesteak from a nearby Roach Coach.
The Alco-heavy train blasted off and caused lunch to be set aside as the chase continued.

Came across this scene and thought that the rolling hills in addtion to the uncut center area looked nice. As I was about to take the photo the rain started pouring down and gave the image a bit of a softer and desaturated look and a flock of birds took flight
I've ridden my bike and driven past this barn always wanting to take a photo of it in the evening but have never had my camera with me, usually. That is except for yesterday when I took this capture of this cool old derelict landscape of this old farm yard, and field. The barn doesn't look to be used anymore but it still seems the sew the the field.
Un tipo se quedo varado tratando de subir a un cerro y le pidió ayuda a Sergio, quien llamo a Kevin y a mi para ayudar a sacar la moto de esa trampa de arena y piedra. una vez sacada la moto el pana Kevin ni corto ni perezoso se monto en la moto y el tipo en muestra de agradecimiento le dio el casco para foto y agua a todos. Este es el resultado.
