In the area of "Little Canada" North of the Karwendel in Bavaria.
Easy to find out why that place is called that ...
In der Gegend von Klein Kanada nördlich des Karwendels
Nicht schwer, herauszufinden, warum das hier so genannt wird ...

I re-uploaded this one, after I found that I DID take two shots for a more panoramic view showing the full curve on the right.
I like to re-shoot this some day with a drone from higher up capturing more of the river below and the valley behind the ridge in the middle of the scene.
The ISO 800 caused some noise problem with the shadow side of the mountain. I also remember that I shot this free-hand from the crowded roof platform on the van as the brush on the bottom was covering to much of the river's curve. It still does.
2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
It was so hot during our visit at Badlands National Park (~95F/35C, no shade), after venturing out for less than 2 hours one morning, we crawled back and hid in the A/C hotel room until the late afternoon.
When we got back to the park, the sun was still strong, so we only did a nice and easy hike, Door Trail, which took us to the extra-terrestrial landscape with strangely shaped buttes and spires.
This photo was taken from the Door Trail's trailhead on Day 2 at the beginning of the hike.
*****************************
Badlands National Park:
With the extreme temperatures (hot in summer and cold in winter) and lack of water, the exposed rugged Badlands National Park got its name from the Lakota - "mako sica" or "land bad".
The French-Canadian fur trappers called it "les mauvais terres pour traverse" or "bad land to travel through" - summers are hot and dry, winters are cold and windy, there is very little drinking water and the land is hard to travel through.
Today, the term ‘badlands’ has a more geologic definition - soft sedimentary rock clay-rich soils that are extensively eroded in a dry climate by wind and water, resulting in a topography with sharp spires, gullies, and ridges.
The unforgiving landscape makes it a great place to visit but this is not the kind of place that many would like to call home.

Many thanks for your kind visit and support, wishing you a very happy Saturday!
The door is wide open, but no one is around - yet I see his plane is parked out back - did he just get home from town?
The woodstove has not been fired up - the floor is icy white - I do hope he's out getting wood, before the long cold night.
Trappers Lake, elevation 9,633 feet (2,936 m), is a lake in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, which is in the White River National Forest in Colorado, United States. It is located in Garfield County east of the town of Meeker and west of the town of Yampa. The lake is roughly a mile and a half (2.4 km) long and half a mile (800 m) wide reaching depths of 180 feet (55 m). It is surrounded by the Flat Tops Mountains, the most striking of which is the large semicircular Amphitheater which has a height of 1,650 ft (503m). Trappers Lake is the second-largest natural lake in Colorado after Grand Lake. It is also one of my favorite places.

The Cariboo Gold Rush was a gold rush in the Colony of British Columbia, which later became the Canadian province of British Columbia. The first gold discovery was made at Hills Bar in 1858, followed by more strikes in 1859 on the Horsefly River, and on Keithley Creek and Antler Creek in 1860. The actual rush did not begin until 1861, when these discoveries were widely publicized. By 1865, following the strikes along Williams Creek, the rush was in full swing.
Towns grew up, the most famous of these being Barkerville, now preserved as a heritage site and tourist attraction. Other important towns of the Cariboo gold rush era were Keithley Creek, Quesnel Forks or simply "the Forks", Antler, Richfield, Quesnellemouthe (which would later be shortened to Quesnel), Horsefly and, around the site of the Hudson's Bay Company's fort of the same name, Alexandria.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
Stay Healthy

An old trappers cabin in Chena Village along the Tenana River. A demonstration of how Westerners and Athabascans cohabited along the Tenana, Chena and Kuskowim rivers.
Trapper Peak is the highest point in the Bitterroot Mountains, part of the larger Bitterroot Range in western Montana. It is 10,157 feet tall.
I took this shot today.
I am very happy to post my sixth anniversary shot of Trapper.
My long term contacts know this lovely cat came in to my life while I was out birding on January 02, 2010. It was -30 C on that day. I drove up a dead end road bordering Elk Island National Park. At that point there is a rough trail leading to Trapper Lake. At the end of the road, I found this emaciated, filthy, and near dead cat at the bottom of a snow bank mewing pathetically.
I took her home and named her "Trapper" after the lake I found her near. She has turned out to be very sociable and affectionate; greeting all visitors and keeping me company in whatever room I am in. The vet thinks she is between 13 and 15 years old now. She has been an expensive cat, but well worth the price of the Canon 500 mm f/4 lens I don’t have :)
She had a tough year in 2015. We actually had a date with the needle a few months ago. She rallied just enough the day before her planned euthanasia and is responding well to the treatment of her condition which the vet diagnosed as either severe Pancreatitis or Pancreas Cancer. The treatment is the same in either case.
At this time she is doing well. She is gaining weight and has good energy. I am optimistic that I will be able to post a seventh anniversary shot in 2017. If she begins to exhibit the symptoms of end stage Pancreas cancer tough, I will not see her suffer.

Trapper Peak is the high point of the Montanan Bitterroot Mountains. This view was taken from close to the summit and looks north towards Missoula. At just over 10,000 feet Trapper affords fine views in all directions. This was the second climb I had made up this hill. Different routes were used and different company but both were equally enjoyable. June 2015.

The lone figure of Mark is seen here on the summit of Trapper Peak. Being the high point of the range it offered superb views in all directions.

Trappers Lake, Colorado 2002 a 17,000 acre fire started by lightning, the Big Fish Fire as it is called, destroyed everything in its path. To date it has still not recovered.
The shrub, Rhododendron columbianum (Piper) Harmaja (also called Western Labrador-tea), blooms along the Lone Star Trail in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
While in Denali we went on a river boat ride on the Tanana River. Here we pass a hunter's cabin and to the right you can see some of the dog houses for their sled dogs. Gorgeous country.
Normally I like to get out and ride some trains but that didn't happen until Labor Day this year. On Monday I drove out to Talkeetna to ride the Hurricane Turn. It is a flag stop train so you can get on and off the train pretty much anywhere you want. The weather has been marginal for much of the summer and when I left my house it was raining but the weather man said by the afternoon things would be better. True to his word the afternoon was fantastic. I took this shot of the train on the bridge after the crew changed ends and were heading back south. In a quarter mile or so they would stop to pick me up and I would be on my way. The color is just starting to turn. I may try another trip within the next two weekends as the final day of operation is 9.16.
Trapper and I had quite the conversation. I have no idea what exactly we said. I'm sure my neighbors were thrilled!
