I took a short walk the other day and stopped for a moment at this spot for a 3X3 Pano.
3 shots across the bottom, middle and top, stitched together using PhotoMerge in PhotoShop. Cropped the center square for my format and it's HUGE.
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes on my candle pic. It was a great day and I spent the day today mailing all the slices out that I offered...... Should I have put an ice cube in with it? It is a frozen type cake.
Hope your day was super, and Happy Friday NZ / AU, plus good Friday morning to the rest of the World as it turns into a new day.
as always, BIG HELLO from Ottawa, Canada TO YOU.
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.
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...
CN rail maintenance crews were out this morning repairing part of the tracks that run through St. Henri this morning at St. Ambroise and St. Augustin streets.
The back tracks of Hanoi, Vietnam. Reflections of reflections in the wake of new directions; remembering the beginning of a journey, and how if you were to never have set out than you would disappear from that scene before your eyes as if you were never there. But that scene before you, has become your reason for having made it so far, and your reason to keep going; the beauty of an afternoon and how it can become everything you stand for.
Yet another evening shot. I used a head lamp for light.
Again, the strange colours made by street light etc. pushed me into the monochrome.
I suspect it's tracks from my own dog, but it could be anything with 4 legs.
Thanks for stopping by.
All comments are appreciated.
The Birdsville track north of Mungerannie runs through Sturt's Stony Desert. Luckily for us it had just been graded, so was in good condition. The road was straight for as far as the eye could see and on either side of the road were red stones for as far as the eye could see.
Here we are only about 240km from the Queensland Border.
An eastbound BNSF oil train rounds the curve at south suburban Dolton Junction, one of the busiest rail intersections in Chicagoland.

The track through the burnt out landscape of Mt Hay. The area was heavily impacted during the recent fires.
As we were driving along the Great western highway in the Blue Mountains we saw the track inspection Vehicle and got ahead of it. Ian found a safe place to pull over in Leura so I could got a short video as it went past.
Highline Park, New York
The High Line is a train track that runs from 34th Street to Spring Street. It was constructed in 1934. Trains ran on the High line up until 1980 carrying cargo rather than passengers. Friends of the High Line campaigned for the High Line to be converted to a public space after its closure to trains and the space is now used as a public park with the first section opening to the public in June 2009.
