The hike began with a boat ride to the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp. We follow the Redfish Lake Creek trail southwest as it climbs gently and steadily to the Alpine Lake (of Redfish Creek) turnoff. Take the left fork and continue south past an unnamed pair of lakes. At 6 miles, the trail arrives at Lower Cramer Lake, elevation 8340', the smallest of the three Cramers. Middle Cramer Lake has a waterfall. Upper Cramer is the largest of the threesome.
That will sort the older ones out! This is a view of the Pont Adolphe in the background thats having a major restoration and repair project started so, as a temporary measure they have built the "Blue Bridge" to take the traffic. In the foreground is a little pedestrian bridge over the Petrusse river

Went backpacking over the weekend. A nice hike in, I forgot how painful it is and how young I use to be. Great trip with a great group of friends. This is the view from our campsite. Amazing to wake up to.
I do recommend a larger view. ;)
I had taken a short break in the shade near the Japan pavilion in the World Showcase of EPCOT Center and saw this view of the towers of three different continents. It's not the best shot but I thought it was unique and wonder if there is another way to compose and capture something similar.

Three of the Pennine Peaks can be seen here. From left to right (or is it south to north?) - Ingleborough (723m), Pen-y-Ghent (694m) and Whernside (736m) depicted here from the decending path of the "Pennine Way" on the western side of Fountains Fell in North Yorkshire. 16 January, 2012.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

This image was taken on 26th Decemeber 2011, after the sails had recently been replaced on the Holgate Windmill. York Minster and the 'Big Wheel' are the other two landmarks. This image caused some discussion in the local press from readers who were keen to know from where it was taken.

Happy Monday, everyone! It's 3 a.m., the cat woke me up, "coldest temps of winter" on the way, and yes, its Monday! What's not to like? Seriously, I hope you ALL have a SAFE, WARM and WONDERFUL day!
I made this image at the downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana Hilton Hotel on Sunday, I call it "Table for Three."

Now, BACK TO BED!
"The Three Soldiers" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. Was marred only by the presence of stinkbugs.
Taken on October 8, 2010 with a Canon Rebel XSI and the incredibly sharp Zeiss Makro-Planar ZE 100mm lens. The anamorphic was a Kowa 16-S.
I spent yesterday morning in the field with Jim Fowler photographing a population of the three-birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora). This tiny species exhiibits synchronized flowering that is triggered by two consecutive days of decreasing night temperatures. The flowers are open for one day, then begin to senesce. Jim is the author of "Wild Orchids of South Carolina" and used his knowledge of the natural history of this species to predict the exact flowering day for a population near Brevard, NC. When we arrived there were 30 or more plants in bloom. The green crest on the lip appears to serve as a nectar guide. Note the two pollinia that are located above the crest.
