Two engine trails aligned with the engines that begin over one plane length behind the wings, and an aerodynamic trail that is visible much sooner and closer to the wings. Note the winding of the wing-tip trail from the near-side wing. Mixed trails are unusual because the overlap in atmospheric conditions required is small. (The image, taken in light haze, has been enhanced).
I decided on simple green for the series, perhaps, green on green. Here is another small section of green trailside along the South Fork of South St.Vrain Creek and decided that I needed to get in tight to catch this shot. It is near the earlier maple and certainly does not look like salad greens. No matter the daily high temps, this canyon is always cooled by shade and tumbling creek. Often, it's hard to cop a weekend parking spot just to get out and walk.
I had to dodge folks who had actually hauled their gear down the trail thus giving me a reason to use the longer lens. It's a dandy mountain stream that courses down the canyon; in fact, this is actually the South Fork of South St.Vrain Creek. I HAD to maneuver into the right spot in order to compose this shot; I was using my longer zoom as close as it would focus and left my skyhook at home. I'll be the one with the wet jeans. I will say that my longer zoom was handy in many spots although not a close focusing lens.
eDDie got a wild hare (Loveland tularemia, probably) to go to Brainard Lake for the sunset on a jet trip and he called me up. I have been up there several times even with one of my sheet film cameras. I am sure that he was not ready for the experience when the morning sky clunked up and repaired to Ceran well down from Brainard. I am always amazed at the campers that can pack into this narrow gully that has few level spots to pitch a tent. I have not been down the trail since the flood but it looks like it survive a lot better than other canyons. The Forest Service sign limits camping to a minimum of 1/4 mile from the parking. I was trying to shoot with my long lens yet. The normal zoom would have been a lot better plan. I was busy shooting as eDDie scurried on his way after wildflowers, great stuck with my streamside shots and ended up with enough for a series.
The south fork creek flows down the canyon below Gresham and to meet the Middle Fork of the South St.Vrain. There are a large number of possibilities up this creek (pronounced crick in the Rockies) and I have taken many captures that I snapped over time. As I sit opening the captures, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
www.sapadventures.com/ The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts.
DAY 01. - Between 06:00 and 06:30 we pick you up at your hotel in our private bus. Ensure you have your original passport and ISIC student card (if applicable – for a discount on entree fee to Machu Picchu).
The journey by bus to km 82 (the starting point for the Inca Trail) takes approximately 3 hours. Once we get there and are all ready to go, this first day will have us walking mostly through the valley. It starts at 2380m with a small climb to a plateau overlooking the Incan site of Llactapata and rewards you with superb views of Mount Veronica. Walking times are always approximate depending on weather conditions, group ability and other factors, but generally you will walk about 2-3 hours before lunch. Then after lunch we walk on just past the village of Wayllabamba to reach our first campsite at 3000m.
Approx 14km, 6 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 02. - Day 2 is the most difficult day as you Inca Trail walk from about 3000m to 4200m — the highest pass of the trek (known as Dead Woman’s Pass – but don’t be discouraged!). You can walk at your own pace and stop to get your breath whenever you like. You’ll find your energy returns once you continue down to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we camp at 3600m.
You can hire a porter from the village of Wayllabamba to carry your pack to the top of this pass for approximately 70 soles. If you wish to do so you must organize and pay this money directly to the person who carries your items, and please check your belongings upon receiving them at the end of this service as these people are not Sap Adventures staff.
This is the coldest night at Inca Trail; between +2/+4 degrees Celsius (in December) and -3/-5 degrees Celsius (in June). Approx 12km, 7 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 03.- Day 3 is exceptionally beautiful because of the ruins you will witness and the incredible stone Inca Trail you walk one, and also because there is a lot more downhill than uphill! However, there are about 2000 stairs descending from the ruins of Phuyupatamarca to those of Wiñaywayna, so take care with your knees. If you have had knee or ankle injuries an extra porter is recommended so that you are not carrying extra weight and overstressing your joints. There is a guided tour of all the ruins on the way. Camping is usually at Wiñaywayna 2700 mtrs.
Take extra care of your personal belongings at this campsite as all the tours campsites are nearby. As usual, always keep your daypack containing your valuables with you. The only hot shower on the Inca Trail is on this third night at Wiñaywayna. There is a hostel near the campsite with an 8min hot shower for 5 soles, and a bar and restaurant where you can purchase bottled water.
Approx 16km, 6 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
DAY 04.- We get up extremely early to arrive at the magical Intipunku "The Gate of the Sun" as the first rays begin illuminating the lost city of Machu Picchu down bellow. A further 20 min walk down from here takes us to the famous view from the terraces at the end of the trail. It is a good time to take pictures before the 10:30 crowds arrive. Your tour of Machu Picchu should last about 2 hours and finish between 10:30 and 11:00am. Then you have free time to climb Huayna Picchu if you wish (This is the famous peak in the background of most images of Machu Picchu. The trek is about 90 minutes). A maximum of 400 hikers can climb this mountain per day so if you are determined then start immediately after your tour! Or, of course, you may simply just collapse under a tree and quietly reflect in amazement at the mystery, the architectural achievement and beauty of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu, it is a pleasant walk through sub-tropical jungle down to Aguas Calientes (about 45 mins), but if you are weary you may also take a bus – the $7 bus ticket is included and your guide will give you the ticket.
Once in Aguas Calientes you can have a hot shower, and then store your backpack while you go to have lunch, visit the hot springs or shop around the village.
If you are not extending your stay for one night in Aguas Calientes*, you will leave around 6pm to return to Cusco by train or by a combination of train & bus. Please note that during the high season there are a number of different departure times for the trains that run only to Ollantaytambo, from where buses run onwards till Cusco. The type of return journey depends simply on availability. You will arrive back in Cusco around 9 - 9.30pm.
Approx 7km, 2 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.

If you're looking to get into some rugged Oregon backcountry, check out the Lone Pilot Trail in the Soda Mountain Wilderness.
The 11.9-mile trail wanders through the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southwest Oregon -- an ecological mosaic where the state's eastern desert meets towering fir forests.
Starting at the Pilot Rock Trailhead, hikers can connect with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail to complete a 17-mile backpacking loop on the Lone Pilot Trail.
Come prepared and carry some extra water -- there are limited water sources along the Lone Pilot Trail, with the East Fork of Hutton Creek and Scotch Creek being the only perennial water sources. In the spring, there may be additional ephemeral streams along the trail.
The trail is best hiked in spring and fall, as its typically snow-free from May to October.
See you out there!

I hope you enjoy this Star Trail, it's what I love to take photos of. This was shot on a Canon 550d using a 30" shutter, I then stated the images using StarTrailsX to give it this effect.
Swartberg Hiking Trail - De Hoek trail head, SE of Prince Albert. Western Cape, South Africa.
Very cool robber flies and other stuff were found here.
Found here: 33.36275S 22.17060E.
This trail offers a picturesque access to East Clear Creek, crossing the creek near a moderately deep section. There are excellent opportunities for fishing and sightseeing. Expect the trail to be steep and rocky in places.

Virginia Creeper Trial between White Top Mountain and Damascus, VA.
I took a few too many photos to "light up" the bike trail with my new GPS tracker.
This is the first site i have been able to find that has both on and off slip roads visible together with the motorway sandwiched in the middle.
While i was taking pictures at this site i missed a police car with its bule lights on coming off at the left hand slip road and then turning right to go over the bridge, i think he must have been going to a burglary in progress because he only had his blue lights on and nothing else all the way.
This is the 3rd time i have been taking light trails and the emergency services have gone by, and its the 3rd time i have missed them all.

I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.

Texas student veterans visited Prairie Chapel Ranch this weekend to help with trail maintenance in preparation for the W100K. Photos by Grant Miller for the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Spectacular panoramic views. Unique botanical and geologic features. The Kerby Peak trail has it all!
The Kerby Peak Trail is documented on maps dating back to 1915, and was probably first established by Native Americans or game animals. In 1916, a telephone line was constructed to the peak by the State. In 1922, an official State lookout was established on top of the peak, where it remained until 1966. Civilian Conservation Corps were organized in 1933, and a camp was established outside of Selma (Camp Kerby). Men from the camp reportedly hiked the trail after hours in an effort to maintain physical fitness. The Oregon State Forestry Department burned the lookout in the fall of 1966, after it was acquired from the Forest Service and decommissioned. The last lookout tenant was reported as having a communicable disease (presumably Shingles, which was found in Selma around the same time), which contributed to the decision to burn the tower.
Be sure to stay on the main trail avoids erosion and disturbing sensitive vegetation. Be forewarned, there are no toilet facilities on the trail.

The warmer weather got lots of the runners out this weekend. I like watching runners but I really ain't in to running!

"Trailing tail!" Have you ever wondered about the new Nikon 80-400 lens ? I have just returned from a 8 day Safari where I used it exclusively, find out more on how it performed here www.andrewschoemanphotography.com/nikon-80-400-lens-review
There is a short loop available by combining the Yurok Trail (seen above) and the California Coastal Trail. I took the Yurok Trail back to the trailhead for a little variety

An unexpected deployment of Computer (modified ‘T’). A candidate for Fonts In Misuse, perhaps? Trail Type, definitely.
I've had this photo for awhile. Finally got bored enough to post it. Anyone who has ever traveled the Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts would recognize this scene. This is typical of a New England souvenir shop, anywhere. This image shows the scene looking from inside the souvenir shop. I missed capturing a lot here. You don't see the ornamental cedar boxes or the rubber hatchets. Oh, and lest I forget, you can neither see nor smell the balsam fir pillows. I do love the smell of them. Works great in sock drawers...
Leading 68013, Chiltern Railways DVT no. 82303 rushes through Warwick Parkway on 5H17, a (very early) VSTP ECS move from Stourbridge Jct Depot (Booked departure 1233) to London Marylebone.
Due to GBRf no. 47749 failing on Old Hill Bank whilst working 1Z47 ("The York Moors Venturer" from Newport to Scarborough), all the trains behind it were cancelled, including many of Chiltern's.
As a result, some last-minute ECS moves were initiated to get things back on schedule.
