I was drawn to the colors of these red and yellow crates I found lying in an alley behind a restaurant.
Actually a tad north of Corallina Cove, sunset on the California coast. Corallina Bay is actually behind the people on the bluff left of frame but is the closest named feature to these bluffs in the Montana de Oro State Park. It’s a great place to just listen to the waves rolling in and crashing against the bluffs. The trails are easy walking but along the bluffs themselves you need to be careful as you get closer to the edge. […]
Pulteney Bridge in Bath, England, was built in 1774. It’s one of only four bridges in the world to have shops across the full span on both sides according to wikipedia. It’s form was altered within 20 years of opening, being widened and enlarging the shops. Shortly after it was damaged by flooding and debate over it’s rebuilding raged between the modernists and the classicists. The classicists won and it was rebuilt somewhat less ambitiously but more in keeping with […]
In today’s photo, a group of work colleagues approach the gate on the western wall of Tagrifet Fort. I previously posted a photo of the fort from the air as the pilot approached the fort. He visually identified a place to land, landed on the sandy plain to the east of the fort and we scrambled up the bluff from the south. I suspect the fort was abandoned in WWII. All that’s left now is the stonework and the barbed […]
Triple Falls, in North West Arkansas, would have been more appropriately named Trickle Falls on the day I visited. Below average rainfall meant that only about one and a half of the three falls were actually flowing. This was an even easier hike than the Kings River Falls hike, not even a hike really, just a few minutes from where we parked the car.
The Kings River Falls are located near Witter in North West Arkansas. There wasn’t that much water flowing over the falls when I visited. The trip involves some driving along dirt roads – watch out for locals on tractors – and about a mile or so hike along a well worn footpath along the western river bank. It’s a pretty level hike but as I recall, one or two of the boulders on the path represented considerable steps. This is […]
