There is a wonderful appeal to taking road trips with a partner or friend whether it is a day trip or longer. Forget the world abroad and explore the here and now. If you keep it simple, you can enjoy the moment more. This summer has been great for our little adventures but the fall is still ahead of us.
This is a stretch of US 60 between Socorro, NM and Springerville, AZ. I took a series of photos through the windshield with my trusty Canon S90 (I wasn't driving at the time!). This is a favorite because it really portrays that section of NM.

Metallica: Nothing Else Matters
-----------------------
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
the beginning of a road trip is always so exciting, the anticipation of the unknown, the relief that you finally got your shit together enough so that you could drive away without any worries. Inevitably you will discover you've forgotten something to bring but its always remedied, and every day brings new scenery to exhilarate, but at some point in the trip, when you had already pondered extending this exquisite pleasure, it hits you, a wave of homesickness, and then its time to turn around and return to familiar hills and valleys, home sweet home.

I recently spent a few days in Fort Worth attending the annual Lexington Group meeting. The Metroplex continues to grow at a fantastic rate. Along with that has been the expansion of commuter and light rail service. In past years. I've ridden the TRE commuter line between Dallas and Fort Worth and some of the Dallas light rail lines.
On this trip, I wanted to concentrate my efforts on two new commuter rail lines: TEXRail and the DART Silver Line.
TEXRail opened on January 10, 2019, and the Silver Line began operations on October 25, 2025. Both lines operate out of DFW Airport Terminal B. TEXRail goes 27 miles west on former Cotton Belt rails to the Fort Worth T&P Station, but it seems most passengers get on and off at the Fort Worth Central Station, which is just north of the old Union Station. The Silver Line also uses the former Cotton Belt and runs 26 miles northeast out of DFW to Shiloh Road in Plano, north of Dallas. Both of these lines are planning expansions.
In this image, TEXRail and Silver Line trains pose at the stub-end DFW Terminal B Station. If you are bound for Fort Worth, take TEXRail. My fare was only about $1.50 with a senior discount. If you are destined for Dallas, board a light rail train at Terminal A.
My main complaint is that there is no signage in the airport directing one to the trains. I mentioned this to TEXRail (Trinity Metro) CEO Richard Andrewski and he was fully aware of the problem and is working to get that resolved.

Mudeford (/m^difərd/ MUD-i-fərd) is a harbourside and beach-side parish based on an ex-fishing village in the east of Christchurch, Dorset, England (historically in Hampshire), fronting water on two sides: Christchurch Harbour and the sands of Avon Beach.
Questa roccia in bilico è diventata il simbolo di queste isole fantastiche che hanno il solo difetto di iniziare ad essere troppo sfruttate dal turismo con tutti gli inconvenienti del caso.
Fa più danni il turismo di massa del colonialismo, anche se la Thailandia non è mai stata colonizzata.
After my first trip to this place i couldn't give away the emotions that i had when taking the first panorama and here i'm again with this as a result.

Late summer and early autumn are the perfect time for a day trip. Today, we visited one of the many apple orchards, as well as a winery, brewery, and a few farm stands.
Cassis é uma comuna francesa na costa do mar Mediterrâneo do departamento de Bouches-du-Rhône, região de Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
Durante a época romana era conhecida como Carsiicis portus. É conhecida principalmente pelas suas falésias e calanques e pelos vinhos, principalmente brancos, mas também rosés, produzidos na região. O turismo é uma das principais atividades econômicas da comuna.
Os seus habitantes são chamados cassidains, derivado do provençal cassiden, que pode ter origem lígure. O lema provençal da comuna, atribuído a Frédéric Mistral, é «Qu a vist Paris, se noun a vist Cassis, n’a rèn vist» (“quem viu Paris e não viu Cassis, não viu nada”).

This is the body of the lamp post from this previous shot, it is located on Aker Brygge in the center of Oslo. Aker Brygge was once a ship yard, but was turned into a shopping area with lots of restaurants in 1986.
