The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track, traversing Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's walked by more than nine thousand people each year, with numbers limited in the warmer months.
Officially the track runs for 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair however many choose to extend it by walking along Lake St Clair for an extra day, bringing it to 82 kilometres (51 mi).
It winds through terrain ranging from glacial mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains.
Monkton Farleigh ammunition depot utilised an old stone quarry below a plateau some 450 feet above the valley floor in which ran the main line railway that was its principal source of supply. Before the depot could be commissioned, an efficient means was need to bring in ammunition from the railway at Farleigh Down Sidings. The sidings were just over a mile from the depot as the crow flies but more than four miles by road along steep and tortuous country lanes.
In November 1937 the Great Western Railway were contracted to lay the sidings and build a 1000 foot long raised loading platform complete with a narrow gauge track to carry the ammunition wagons. Outline plans had already been prepared to drive a mile long tunnel from the heart of the workings terminating in an underground sorting yard built beneath the sidings in the valley below.
These photographs, taken in January 2016, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.

I was near the top of a hill on The South Downs, looking down at some tracks through the fields.
The turn of bad weather has meant that visits of birds to the garden have been few and far between.
However although I haven't seen any at the bird feeders or the bird bath, but evidence of their unseen visits could be found on the ground in the mornings.

The journey continues .... Somehow this image calls to mind the poem in which each syllable of the Japanese hiragana writing system appears once and once only:-
いろはにほへと
ちりぬるを
わかよたれそ
つねならむ
うゐのおくやま
けふこえて
あさきゆめみし
ゑひもせす
or, if you prefer,
Colours are fragrant but they fade away
In this world of ours none lasts forever
Today cross the high mountains of life's illusions
and there will be no more shallow dreaming or vainglory
Please excuse this philosophical aside: the Captain will be himself tomorrow....
I think it's a rabbit. What's your guess?
Recovering from pneumonia right now, sorry for my absence.

My first snowshoe of the season.
Looking back at my tracks.
Leaving Autumn and walking into Winter...

The Maah-daah-hey trail in the Elkhorn Ranch Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Parts of the trail go near oil and gas development in the Bakken Formation.
Hit the race track the other day for Camel and Ostrich races. They did not pan out as expected and will post what few photos I managed.
However I saw a portrait opportunity with a winning jockey after racing a muddy track and got him to smile for me.

Each season, as it comes to an end, I find that besides the events, the preparation, the mental challenges--there is the time spent with coaches. . .and this is where it all begins and ends. . .where every step, every jump, every hurdle is parsed and analyzed. This is for the sport. . .this is for the students. . .and this is for the coaches who give their time to help the students dream dreams.
