This mornings view along the Upper Dove Valley towards Parkhouse, Chrome and Hollins Hills. The large triangular shadow of High Wheeldon cast on Aldery Cliff very obvious here.
Yosemite Falls is actually composed of three parts, the Upper Falls (highlighted in this photo), the middle falls, which can only be seen from trails leading to the summit of the falls, and the smaller Lower falls, barely visible in the middle near the bottom of the photo.
Yosemite Upper Falls
The 1,430-foot (440 m) plunge comprises over half the total drop. Trails from the valley floor and down from other park areas outside the valley lead to both the top and base of Upper Yosemite Fall.
The upper fall is formed by the swift waters of Yosemite Creek, which, after meandering through Eagle Creek Meadow, drop over the edge of a hanging valley in a spectacular and deafening show of force.

It is a hot spring located in the Upper Geyser Basin. Its average temperature is around 69.8 °C (157.6 °F) and is 23 feet (7 m) deep. The pool was named by Mrs E. N. McGowan, wife of Assistant Park Superintendent, Charles McGowan in 1883. She called it "Convolutus", the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles.
The distinct colour of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool.

If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.
Light beam season in Upper Antelope. Sure it was a little crowded but we got a couple uninterrupted minutes per composition, with a little over 2 hours in the canyon, to take in this scenery. A must do experience!
Just around the corner from Lansdowne Circus is Upper Holly Walk, where William Thomas built a number of houses in the new Victorian Gothic style. This is the house he built for himself in 1836, in decorated Jacobean style.

Have a beautiful day!
This was the first time I had seen Beehive Geyser in action. From the national forest service, "Beehive Geyser is a favorite performer in this geyser basin, but is irregular. When active, it typically erupts once or twice daily and lasts 4-5 minutes. The narrow cone acts like a nozzle, projecting a powerful water column to a height of 150-200 feet (46-61 m). Beehive Geyser has an average temperate of 198.5°F (92.5°C) and an average pH of 8.3." Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, June 2024

In 1957, as the rising waters of the St. Lawrence Seaway closed in, Christ Church (1837) was moved 20 km west to Upper Canada Village, an 1860s heritage park near Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada.

We too often look elsewhere for beauty, don't we? Sometimes, it is nearby. Submitted for your approval: the Upper Tahquamenon Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a very beautiful place. The color comes from tannic acid leaching out of nearby cedar swamps.
On our final day of walking we had a very windy circuit of the Upper Newlands valley. Sat in the car at Upper Town for last of overnight rain to stop before setting off
Threatening clouds above Dale Head - but rain didn't materialize

Nice to get back onto the Southern Edge of Kinder Scout yesterday. Earlier in the year I’ll be exploring the Northern Edge. Much busier around here though.
Looking towards Nether Tor, Ringing Roger and the Great Ridge beyond.
The Upper Crust performing at Church in Boston, MA - USA on December 31, 2008

From official biography:
The Upper Crust played their first show in the back room of a Cambridge, Massachusetts bar one Monday night in 1994. Not for a moment did they or anyone else imagine that-more than a decade later-they would be comfortably enshrined in the pantheon of rock stardom, polishing their platform shoes to kick it up a notch with their newly remixed, remastered collection of stellar hits “Cream of the Crust.”
The original band concept was simple and loaded with comic potential: Young fellows singing about the joys and sorrows of the only life they knew, like numberless youths since the dawn of rock and roll… only these lads are filthy rich and theirs is a life of appalling self-indulgence, entitlement and privilege. The result was seen in instant classics like “Let Them Eat Rock,” “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” and “We're Finished With Finishing School.” Like any other concept band, the odds against longevity seemed loaded. No one has been more surprised then they themselves to find that the public's appetite and affection for the Upper Crust, far from diminishing, has grown more insatiable with every passing year. It was not long before the band's image resolved into sharper focus, as they adopted the dress and personae of members of the 18th century European aristocracy in powdered wigs and knee breeches, and the identities Jackie Kickassis (drums), Lord Bendover (guitar, vocals) the Duc d'Istortion (guitars, vocals). Original members Lord Rockingham and the Marquis du Rocque left to pursue other careers and were replaced by the vastly talented Count Bassie (bass, vocals).
The Crust appeared on Conan O'Brien, played with Aerosmith, earned accolades in national press (Vogue, GQ, etc.). They released three studio CDs and one live CD on various independent labels. They won the love and devotion of an ever- growing legion of fans, among them many music and show-business celebrities like Joan Jett, Steven Tyler and daughter Liv, Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Tenacious D, etc.; people who could appreciate the nuances of their art with its peculiar blend of head-banging hard-rock, comedy, and theater.
Preferring the lavish comforts of their stately homes and disliking the hardships of the road, for several years they played mainly East Coast shows and spot tours, where they would fly to England, New Orleans or Los Angeles for one or two shows. In this way they succeeded in avoiding the demands of celebrity while enjoying its perquisites. But now the time has come for them to claim their due, and with the aid of famed producers Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, they've remixed and remastered a compilation of 18 of their greatest hits. Cream of the Crust is released in collaboration with Redeye Distribution.
The band has been feverishly active since September, hitting such diverse markets as Raleigh, N.C., Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Providence, R.I., New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Next, they contemplate a full West Coast tour and a more detailed Southern itinerary, and are entertaining offers from European promoters. A live Upper Crust DVD entitled “Horse & Buggery” will be issued by Reptilian Records of Baltimore in November to celebrate the label's 17th anniversary.
An animated appearance on the Comedy Channel's “Code Name: Kids Next Door” is scheduled for this winter (date to be determined).
Press activity is already swelling, with forthcoming spreads in several national publications. The band will be doing extensive radio and press promotion is available for interviews, in-store appearances and all other publicity.
