A Union Pacific coal train grinds up Logan Hill in the southern portion of the Powder River Basin during a period of tempestuous weather.
Thirteenth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is forty-eight inches (1.2m) in height and perhaps 1000 years old.
'Wild Bonsai' is a numbered collection of photos of naturally occurring bristlecones (p. longaeva) generally less than five feet in height (158cm) and - as nearly as I can estimate - between fifty and five-hundred years old - some much older. Most will have sprouted and survived in tiny cracks and crevases or miniature basins of sand and gravel. Shaped by the elements, flourishing tenaciously in the most minimalist of conditions, their lives are measured not in the millennia of more robust bristlecones, but in centuries...often mere decades.
'Duality', the cover photo for this album, is to me a matriarch of sorts and will remain unnumbered as a small token of a deeply intuitive and unapologetic respect that remains as transcendent and mysterious to me as it may seem odd to others. The essay that accompanies 'Duality' could, in many ways, apply as well to any other tree I may post in this series.
A perspective: Housed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the fifth oldest living cultivated bonsai in the world is something over 500 years old and is a designated National Treasure of Japan.

This wild turkey has much to be thankful for. The flocks of wild turkeys on Maine's Mount Desert Island are allowed to roam freely, and are safe from being hunted. Because Mount Desert Island is the home of Acadia National Park, hunting of any kind is prohibited anywhere on the island. So this and all of the other wild turkeys on MDI are guaranteed not to become Thanksgiving dinner. Bar Harbor, Maine.

Happy Thanksgiving !

The Byrds did a pretty good version too.
The Barrows at Thorswood are a powerful place to sit and reflect. Although some barrows have been completely destroyed by later quarrying a few are still intact. Sitting amongst the spring or summer flowers, you can feel yourself being dragged back through time. Can you imagine no motor traffic noise, no jet trails in the sky, no lights to blank out the stars. It must have been so quiet and dark.
Some feral horses of the two herds hosted on Pian Cavallaro.
Mount Cimone (2.165 m), Northern Italian Apennines - Modena, Emilia Romagna, Italy.
On my way to the top of mount Cimone, I stopped at Pian Cavallaro.
Mount Cimone is the highest peak of the Northern Italian Apennines (2.165 m): in some clear days, like this was, you can see the Alps (the harsh blue mountains), Central Italy and even Corsica and the Mediterranean sea. On the top, the use of the binoculars is fundamental.
Pian Cavallaro is above the tree line, the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing: at this altitude, trees don't grow because of the Alpine climate and the inhospitable environment.
In this adverse climate, there's the Alpine tundra.

I have to drive home on the back roads lately because the main road is under construction. You see some cool stuff driving on those dirt roads - this fellow flew right over my windshield and landed by the side of the road, and just started walking.

Looking up Loch Cuaich/Quoich at Gleouraich (with summit clouds, centre-distance) and Spidean Mialach (right-distance) from the slopes below Ben Aden in Knoydart. A fabulous and remote part of Scotland, and especially lovely when the evening sun comes out as it did here!
While photographing a waterfall on the Grand River in Elora, Ontario, I noticed this Wild Teasel. The sun gleamed down on it causing it to glow.
Through the branches of vivid green
A wild path, now is seen
Stretching as far as the eye can see
Kissed by the beauty of every tree
Off into the distance, where you will find
Nature of every single different kind
At the end of the path, that now is seen
Through the branches of wild green
BNSF gave the Los Angeles area a much needed reprieve from the usual GEVO parade with this wild consist on the H-BARLAC. Behind the lead unit is an assortment of engines including a Genset, three SD60Ms (including the only one ever to receive Heritage 1 paint), a former Frisco GP38-2, and a few widecabs including a warbonnet Dash 9. The bizarre consist is seen here crossing over the Los Angeles River as it swings off the BNSF main and onto the Los Angeles Junction Railway.
