I rode the cog rail train once, drove up the second time. Socked in by fog at the top both times.

We are considering an extended driving trip this summer, from Arizona to the east coast, and are totally unfamiliar with anything east of the Rockies. Indianapolis is a definite stop (family), and Washington, DC is a definite stop, for obvious reasons. What are the highlights between the two cities (direct or indirect route)?
There are 31 covered bridges in Parke County, IN. Might be worth a stop if you're a bridge fan.

Know what a group of turkeys is called? I'll save you the trouble of looking it up; it's a RAFTER.
Ran across this on Facebook.
In case you’re having a bad day, here’s a hedgehog wearing socks.

Sea Shells with a Grunge texture. I made a mask to limit the grunge texture over the shells to just 50%.
Looks good. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for posting this.
I like the first one because the cables come together right at the edge of the print, providing a natural termination. The second one lets the one pair of cables lead the eye off the page. Nice shot in any case.

The first makes me feel more on the bridge, the second I like the lines up of the cables...
Canvas on Demand is having a great sale by the way!
I have a daytime shot I took of this bridge in 1984. In fact, after many years of hanging in my office my only print now hangs in our dining room,within my view as I type this. As I recall the shot is from the grounds of an old castle. I'd post my photo here, except it was on film,
and I let a neighbor take my negatives to have a print of the bridge made. I never got my negatives back. I had photos of Fountains Abbey as well,
also gone.
A couple of years later I was riding the train from London to York. We stopped at a station. As I gazed idly out the window, my eye was caught by a checkerboard pattern on the end of a building (See the building on the left side under the middle arch of the bridge). I recognized it, looked up, and discovered we were stopped at the Knaresborough station. THE TRAIN AND I WERE ON THAT BRIDGE!
I have since seen a photo of this bridge on the cover of a travel book. I liked mine better. I like yours, with its wonderful lighting,
even more. Thanks for posting it!

Funny. I looked at the photo and admired the sharp focus. Then I admired the focus some more, and marveled that the shot was taken through a window. THEN, and only then, did I see the tongue! Great capture. (And nice focus!) :)
