Just looking through my rather large Flickr queue and decided that I liked this one, taken about this time last year. Although I like it, I think I left it in the queue because I posted a similar shot (see comment section) at the time. That one was a single shot, this is a pano stitch.

This morning after getting a few things done around the house, and then headed out to the woods.
The trails were busier than I like so I ventured off trail and into the woods; luckily I thought ahead and brought my poles with me which made for easier walking and exploring.
Didn't see too much in the way of wild life but I enjoyed being outside for a couple hours. The sun was shining and the wind was mild so being on the trails was much better than hiding inside.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

While hiking a trail in an Anchorage park, we came across this big fella. Sharing the trail with him was a thrill, but getting a decent shot was a challenge. He was on the move and, even at a leisurely pace for him, we had to run at times to stay ahead. So I would run, turn around and take a couple of shots and then run some more. Under those circumstances, I never got the shot I wanted, but did manage to get one that gives a pretty good sense that he was a nice specimen. Just to be clear, he was not chasing us, nor was he the least bit concerned with our presence. He just had somewhere he wanted to be and was purposefully headed there. Oh, and this was the largest critter we saw on the trip. The pika would fit in this guy's ear...
You may note the scarring on the moose's hind leg. Here is some information from an article in "The Home Bug Garden" that explains how this scarring occurred.
"You’d think that Winter Tick would be all the parasite nastiness that any animal should have to endure, but Mother Nature has a summer surprise for moose too - Haematobosca alcis (Snow, 1891), the Moose Fly. Just as the moose is beginning to recover its condition in early summer, these housefly-sized pests start to appear. The flies hang out on the back legs of moose, pierce the skin with their long proboscis, and cause large, open sores from which they feed. If you notice a cloud of flies around the rear of a moose in summer, especially if there are sores on the hind legs, you are likely seeing Moose Flies. The flies lay their eggs in moose dropping, the larval food, so moose give these pests pretty much everything they need. The sores don't heal until frost kills off the adult flies but tend not to fester either. So, it seems likely that the flies introduce a substance that protects the sores from bacteria."
This 4.5 kilometre Trail in Fundy National Park offers a stunning lookout over the cold waters of the Bay of Fundy and a return path to the trailhead through a mixed forest.
The trail to the Citadel led to a scramble down to the next level on the canyon wall. The land bridge and the Citadel can be seen in the distance. The ruins are on the other side of the formation.
This was only the first of several scrambles involved in the hike to the Citadel. A misstep could lead to a tumble to an untimely demise on the canyon floor. Luckily, there were no missteps!
Experimenting in long exposure photography...

We haven't been back to this pond in a few years (it's about 10k from our house), so it's nice to see that beaver still ply these waters. But boy did we both get a surprise when we noticed each other!
I jumped up and barked once, and the beaver slapped his tail on the water and dove under.

About a 16 min exposure at iso 800 with the 5d2. I used a light to brighten up the foreground a bit. Noise reduction was also applied.
The Lowline Trail is a great little trail in the Crazy Mountains that is great for hiking in early summer when there's too much snow to get over the high passes.
Trail, Highlands Valley” — A path leads into a highlands valley as rain falls on distant hills.
Somewhere in northwest Scotland, between Shieldag and Applecross, we paused on our drive through this broad valley. It was surprisingly cold — there was new snow on peaks on either side — and there were rain showers passing across the landscape. Nearby was what appeared to be an old road, now marked as a foot trail, heading off into the valley — the sort of trail that makes you aware that there are places more remote than where you stand.
This country reminded me of some very high locations in the Sierra Nevada backcountry, but even more of near-arctic areas of Alaska, where (aside from that little grove of trees at the left) most of the vegetation is underfoot and the views extend so far that distant features disappear in the natural haze.

... hmm... I might have to make this one my entry, instead of the "Scout"...
I don't make a point to shoot trailing units often (or ever really) but with this 'heritage' unit trailing it was worth a frame since I've only ever shot her solo working local jobs.
GMDD GP40-2LW MEC 507 (blt. Jul 1974 as CN 9472) was given this mysterious retro fresh Guilford gray paint job at Waterville in August 2020 and has been frequently assigned to BO-1 since then so I've seen her regularly.
In fact that's where she was headed when I caught her in the consist of Pan Am train EDPO (East Deerfield to Portland with a Lowell set out) rolling through the village here on Main 2 at MP 39.3/313.3 on the Keolis/MBTA Fitchburg Line and Pan Am's Freight main respectively.

Wearmouth Trails Obviously being a Newcastle lad, I would say the Wearmouth Bridge is not a patch on Tyne Bridge ;-). Never the less, this is an impressive piece of architecture, designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson, the current bridge being the 3rd in this position (1929 - Present ) and was built to accommodate growing volumes of traffic.
Got a great vantage point from the car park next to the bridge, in order to get up high and take this long exposure shot to catch the traffic light trails.
