Todays walk

[nikonbob]

In our area the leaves are gone and so is most of the colour. That didn't stop the wife and I plus dog from taking a hike as it was the first time in awhile that the weather was nice and I was on days off. As you can see from the survey marker we were on the border with our southern neighbours. It was a very good afternoon for us. Just sharing some of the sights.

Great pictures Bob!

I love the textures and colours of the rocks. I also like the 'liveliness' of your last shot. There are some on here who'll disagree with me!

The berries are beautiful. And the second shot is intriguing. Would that be what we call a 'trig point' over here? Our maps are made by the 'Ordnance Survey' - as it sounds, they are technically a branch of the military. They leave 'trig points' around the place - notably on the top of hills, or in open areas.

I don't know if it is called a "trig point" but it is one of the boundry markers for the Canada/USA border. More info is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States-Canada_border . Being fall and with the lack of rain this summer the falls in the last picture are a pale shadow of what you would normally see in the spring. High Falls, appropriately named as it is the highest falls in Minnesota, is on the Pigeon River which forms part of the boundry between Can/US in our area. The other falls is Middle Falls on the same river and was the site of a provincial park now left abandoned/unused. The berries, rose hips?, were about the only colour left.

That's what I call a walk! Nice shots.

Thanks. That is the great part of living here, the scenery. That is also why I never really got into people photography like so many RF people.
