The hole that I live in.
1. In the valley.
2. Drive to the next closest town (an hour and a half away, either way, are the next closest towns- the joy of living in mountains?)
3. My favourite place to swim, in the canyon.
4. A random little waterfall... it just *looks* nice, the water's freezing cold ALL the time, and there are moquitoes everywhere back there.

And for the other train geeks out there (if there are any?)- my stepdad works for Canadian Pacific Railway, so I get to go out on the tracks in the railroad truck all the time (we hacked a bear cub in half once, but I won't post those pics) ;P

What's up with the fire..??

I likes it I do

 

[tarcan]

Yeah, I was wondering about the fire pic as well... very impressive!

 

[DeathRowDisco]

The fire... in the Winter, the tracks freeze, and if it gets *too* cold, bolts and such get pulled out, and they drag a 200ft. rope along the tracks and light 'er up, to expand the metal again, and replace the bolts.

heres a few pics i have taken...i'd post more but they are "pit only" material. and my GF would have to give the go ahead...

Heres a pic I never posed due to bad color. But you gotta love the pose!

heres one of my cat. For those of you that believe in ghosts, and "bubbles" in photographs being some sort of supernatural elements...heres a few that seem to be playing with my cat...

a few pictures from a recent trip to Washington DC:
Capitol building:

Vietnam Memorial statue:

changing of the Guard/wreath laying ceremony at Unknown Soldier Memorial at Arlington National Cemetary:

Washington Monument as taken from Arlington National Cemetary right in front of Robert E Lee's home:

Lincoln Memorial:

Jefferson Memorial, you can just see the upper part of Jefferson's statue in the middle of the building in this picture:

an interesting sidenote is that the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and the Capitol building are laid out so from each other so that they form a cross. many of the area's Memorials and Monuments as well as the Pentagon are visible from Robert E Lee's home on the upper hillside of Arlington National Cemetary.
my son took 400 pictures and I took 200 pictures on the trip!

(we hacked a bear cub in half once, but I won't post those pics) ;P

You hacked a Bear cub in half. why possibly would you do that??? I hope it was dead already.
