Now some pictures from the zoo in Bern, more than two years after the last time. Here just two puffins...
On the right of shot is Teton Glacier and on the left is Middle Teton Glacier. The mountain sitting between them is Grand Teton (peak 4,199m). To the east, on the left of shot, is Middle Teton (3,904m), the third-highest peak in the Teton Range; to the right is Mount Owen (3,942m) to the west. The glaciers sit at around the 3,500m mark.
Teton Glacier is the largest of the 12 named glaciers in the park and one of 37 glaciers in Wyoming. In 1971, the glacier was about 1,100m long and 340m wide. Between 1967 and 2006, Teton Glacier lost about 14-20% of its surface area, a reduction from 64 to 53 acres.
Middle Teton Glacier is on the north-east flank of Middle Teton and is a popular mountaineering route for ice-climbing and for access to the summit of Middle Teton and other peaks to the south. The glacier is at the west end of Garnet Canyon, which is the most popular route used by climbers ascending Grand Teton. The glacier melt feeds a number of streams below; however, between 1967 and 2006, Middle Teton Glacier lost approximately 25% of its surface area, shrinking from 52 to 39 acres.

i haven't been around on flickr as much as i would like.
but here's another from the film roll. caught this very last minute and am surprised it was in focus!
"There are two worlds: the world of the tourist and the world of everyone else. Often they're side by side. But the tourist doesn't actually see how people live."
~Paul Theroux~
This quote is SO apropos. By no means am I a hardened traveller, nor all that worldly. I'm rather introverted, and, will sadly stay on the beaten path if given a choice. I distinctly remember thinking the instant I took this photo that it could be really interesting shot. The irony of 'the two worlds' flashed through my mind as the shutter clicked. It all happens so fast, and then the moment is gone. Only upon processing it do I see the potential stories it tells, the questions it evokes, the answers it doesn't give. I like this picture, and if I take one thing from it, I must make myself a promise not to be such a 'tourist' anymore.

While not the greatest shot I've ever taken, it wasn't that often that two trains appeared outside CP Mastadon at the same time.
Anyway, a CP empty ethanol launched out of Bensenville on the Elgin Subdivision with CSX and ICE power as a northbound UP oil empty with CN power was heading out of Proviso yard.
Two steam engines under fire waiting for their departure in the station of Werningerode.

One thing I love is candid shots; this one was in Times Square in New York City. This couple was not very far from me; the man barely moved but the woman with him had her head going back and forth for what seemed like countless minuets, looking and discussing the people within the clammoring of the area. Time Square has a plethora of eccentric characters and she in turn became one of them for me. With my setting on HDR this created a very cool effect & remains one of my favorites from NYC
