Not my usual positioning of a photo (it's normally in the middle of a road!) but I took this quickly whilst walking across a crossing at Spellbrook. I like the converging tracks and in black and white seemed about the right treatment.
In Astoria Park in Queens, New York. The bridge in view is the Triborough Bridge, also known as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge.
With a hand steady on the brake, Ron Belbeck brings his train to a stop roughly 15 feet from the end of the Burford Spur.
Today RLHH 496 was operating with the NECR 3840.

Micheldever Wood, Hampshire. In search of early sun at the end of the track I came away with this soft and slightly misty light instead.
Day 2: Esperance to Albany: The Unconventional Ride. 750 km in 10 days. At the eastern end of Barker Inlet Beach. Google Maps said there was a track here. I guess a rock fall is a track right? Well it worked out okay, I went down it, fingers crossed :
These meandering tracks in the damp sand at low tide are more shallow and narrow than those of the periwinkles in the two photos posted below on my page, "Off to the Races" and "Periwinkle Road Map," and there were no critters in any of these. What creepy-crawly creature made them remains a mystery to me. They remind me that, as mathematicians know, a random walk tends to always return toward its starting point.
The Overland Track ends here. One of Australia's premier hiking tracks starts at Cradle Mountain and finishes at Lake St Clair. In the old days people could make the trek in both directions, but in these days of regulation and user pays it is a register, pay and travel in one direction only track. As you'll see from the official link below it takes 6 days to make the 65 kilometre trek and will cost you $200 for the pass:

A number of private companies have taken to promoting the trek and provide an all-inclusive guided service for several thousand dollars. I won't provide any links here, but you can find them online if you have the cash. As a former Australian Prime Minister once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
In 1931 fur trapper Bert Nichols created the Overland Track and by 1935 it was consolidated and used by independent walking parties. By 1937 it was officially named the Overland Track and the track had been upgraded to be used for guided tours and pack horses.

The Overland Track can be a very dangerous place to be, certainly with the very changeable weather in the region. So the fact it is well monitored and regulated is a good thing. In 1965 there was a disastrous school hike that claimed the lives of a student teacher, Ewan Scott, and a student David Kilvert. The heroism of Scott as he tried to save the life of Kilvert in blizzard conditions is remembered in this article: www.examiner.com.au/story/3068014/heroism-defined-in-moun...
Rock formations at the end of Truman's Track, Punakaiki - taken on a rare day when the combination of low tide and minimal swell enabled access to the north end of the beach.
Managed to get a few shots in the fog on my way to work this morning. This was the last shot before I had to fly away up the road, see the colour just coming through in the sky as I was leaving.
Close to home.
Freezing cold and bleak walk across the fields behind my house.
No public right of way along this inviting looking track…..

G25 is back at track speed right after crossing Hwy 17 in Oliver, Ga. The one car wonder local will set off the load of lumber at the Georgia Southern Railway interchange in Dover.
The track from Arpafeelie through Gallows Wood to Redcastle is ever changing. From fields with sheep and cattle to natural woodland, and then some lovely older plantations. Here we have Douglas Firs on the left and European Larches on the right, but there are self seeded and natural trees scattered throughout. The Firs are magnificent and straight like ship's masts. The Larches, too, are pretty special plantation trees that are a gorgeous colour this time of year, and are a front to more Douglas Firs and Scots Pines behind.
I cross these tracks everyday going and coming and luv the view when I "stop, look, and listen".... as it invites me to travel on to other places I have not explored and take caution when doing so... life is like these tracks with ups and downs and yet we are encouraged to stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to life ever after.... many places to cross but always with caution and keeping your eye on the vanishing point that one day we will all cross... but because of the cross we can know where we will cross to.... have a blessed week.... God loves you sooooo much and so do I....
