🧵1/2
May 2, 1983, 42 years ago today: I woke up to the sound of freight trains. One after another, they came clattering up from the distant mountain range to the west, circled the woods around my tent, and churned off toward the eastern horizon. My tent was pitched in a small, grassy clearing on the summit of Frosty Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Georgia.

We are standing near a tent pitched in a small grassy meadow. It is very early spring up here, the grass is just beginning to grow and the trees surrounding the meadow have naked branches. The sky is gray and a dense fog covers the entire scene. In the foreground a sign tells us that we are at the summit of "FROSTY MTN ELEV 3400" (Frosty Mountain, elevation 3400 feet).

May 2, 1983, 42 years ago today: At 4:20 p.m. on the afternoon of May 2, 1983 — a very warm day for early May — I was at the Visitor’s Center in Amicalola Falls State Park in north-central Georgia. I strapped on my heavy backpack and started wheezing my way up the first steep mile of the Amicalola Falls feeder trail.

Standing high up the steep slope of a mountain looking down at forested foothills and valleys far below. The sky is hazy and whitewashed, but bright and sunny. The forest down below is very green. Leaves are just starting to come in up here and are still small. We are climbing a rocky dirt fire road up this steep slope. There are wooden guardrails, broken in a couple of places, protecting any drivers who use this road from a very steep drop to our right. Like the road, that slope is also naked reddish clay soil and rocks. The forest presses up against the left side of the road. Some distance below us the steep drop-off on our right eases slightly and there are trees on that side as well.

Baia del Vento

A rocky beach on the western shore of Lago di Garda, with beautiful views over Italy's largest lake. Here I was looking out over the San Fermo peninsula and Isola del Garda. While this is a private beach, meant for guests of the vacation homes and restaurants adjacent to it, it was all but deserted this early in the morning.

Squeezed in a quick dash up and down the Cat's Back (Black Hill) on the way up to #Wales. Love this ridge route on the eastern fringe of the Black #Mountains. #running #TrailRunning

Strava route out and back up a narrow ridgeline, labelled "Cat's Back". Run 5km, 245m elevation gain, 44min time.A narrow ridge, with a mix of rocky and grassy trail. Looking east, the background is the relative lowland and rolling hills of Herefordshire.Early morning sun breaking through clouds, with shades of orange, peach and grey creating a striped appearance. Looking east towards Herefordshire from the foot of Black Hill.

What a beauty 🤩

(Yeah, you saw it right, I do recycle calendars for the beauty of the pictures)

The beautifully winding road of Passo Stelvio / Stilfserjoch on a sunny day. An awesome collection of hairpin curves photographed from above, so it looks like they were stacked upon each other.

The first shot with my then new telephoto zoom lens. It's amazing how you can capture objects that are far away this detailed and I started to love the lens.

Taken with Sony Alpha 6000, Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS @ 76mm and f/8.0, ISO 100, 1/200s

Climb up the Badlands, in the middle ground, and you're in the high desert, Beaumont. Beyond that, San Gorgonio.
