this path leads to underneath a very, very old beech tree at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum.... it is so magical being 'inside' the heart of this tree and we always enjoy entering... but this day it was closed.... maybe due to weak branches...
Happy Fence Friday and I wish you all a great weekend!
White Domes Trail is a short loop trail. One leg begins with a steep downhill over dusty broken terrain which was hard on the legs. It was in full sun so it was hot and not entirely pleasant. It was tempting to reverse course or give up except it was neither attractive nor did I look forward to a return steep rugged climb. I was pleasantly surprised to find this shady, cool slot canyon at the bottom. There is not much of a view in this narrow slot with steep sides. The trail can be found at the end of Mouse’s Tank Road.
Stanley Park has myriad trails through its 1,000-acres - here are just 3 that are such a treat to walk or bike in, on hot summer days.

The Apache Trail in Arizona was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains. It was named the Apache Trail after the Apache Indians who originally used this trail to move through the Superstition Mountains.
The current Apache Trail links Apache Junction (33.4152°N 111.5807°W) at the edge of the Greater Phoenix area with Theodore Roosevelt Lake (33.6725°N 111.1531°W), through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest.
Today, the majority of Apache Trail remains unpaved, turning into a dirt road a few miles up from Tortilla Flat, and continuing as such for nearly the full remainder of its length. The section east of Apache Junction is known officially as State Route 88. It is also the main traffic corridor through Apache Junction, turning into Main Street as the road passes into Mesa, and regains the Apache name by becoming Apache Boulevard in Tempe, ending at Mill Avenue. Prior to the completion of the Superstition Freeway in 1992, the Apache Junction portion of the Apache Trail was part of US Highway 60, which was rerouted to the Superstition Freeway once it was completed.
The Trail winds steeply through 40 miles (64 km) of rugged desert mountains, past deep reservoir lakes like Canyon Lake and Apache Lake. The narrow, winding road is unpaved from just east of the town of Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam; there are steep cliff drops and little in the way of safety barriers. The trail requires caution when driving and it is not recommended for large RVs, SUVs, or caravans. Some large RV rental companies in the US do not allow their vehicles to be taken on this route.

Die Apache Trail Historic Road, auch AZ 88 genannt, östlich von Phoenix rühmt sich großer historischer, kultureller und landschaftlicher Bedeutung. Sie führt über 116 Kilometer von Apache Junction nach Globe-Miami, wo sich die 63 Kilometer lange Gila-Pinal Scenic Road direkt anschließt, die zurück nach Phoenix führt.
Zwischen Apache Junction und dem Tonto National Monument gehört der Apache Trail zu den landschaftlich reizvollsten Routen in den USA. Die abenteuerliche Fahrt ist ein unvergessliches Western-Erlebnis. Theodore Roosevelt sagte bei der Einweihung des nach ihm benannten Staudamms sinngemäß: „Im Apache Trail treffen das Großartige der Alpen, die Pracht der Rocky Mountains und die Herrlichkeit des Grand Canyons zusammen.“
Der Apache Trail folgt einem alten Pfad der Apachen durch die Felsschluchten des Salt River, führt jedoch an der Canyon-Seite höher hinauf, weil der Canyon jetzt teilweise in den Fluten des Salt Rivers und den sich anschließend bildenden Seen ertrunken ist. Kurz nach 1900 wurde er als Versorgungsstraße für den Bau des Theodore-Roosevelt-Damms angelegt. Heute führt er an einer Reihe attraktiver State Parks und kleiner Orte entlang und gewährt Zugang zu den schönen Superstition Mountains.

What better way to spend christmas eve!
I've been meaning to get a trail over this for ages now and managed to grab a shot when i was in the area over winter.
Total of 30 minutes and all lit naturally (near enough to full moon i think)

Trail to Royal Basin, Olympic National Park. The only tracks are mine, for the exception of that of a hare that moved up the trail foraging for tender plants to graze upon.
There are not a lot of hills to be found in the Netherlands. But when I find one I think it's worth the effort to go on top, wait in the cold until it gets dark, wait until a car passes on the road and take a photo like this.

Trail.
Exactly two years ago, I got my very first camera and started a journey with no clear end. One year later, I shot some of my favorite photos - I am not saying my best because we all know that your first 10.000 photos are your worst :)
So, it's time for me to return to my routes; to escape for a while. To charge my batteries, expose myself to new stimuli and experiment.
Life is full of trails, paths, and dead ends. Let's hope for the best..
This is from the Berlin Photowalk. Hope you like it!

Last of my start trail shots (I think :P) and personally this is my fav despite having the shortest trails. Took me ages to get round to editing it and stacking all the photos together but im pleased I have done it eventually.
I think i prefer this photo to others mainly because of the deep blue sky against the clarity of the monument feels just 'nicer' to me :) I would have liked to get some longer trails though but I can always re-shoot this location :)
Anyways enjoy!
