A thought on this one. If you cropped it square you could eliminate that almost in focus leaf on the right side. That said I do really like this shot for the lighting on the flower.

Usually considered the to be the section of Highway 550 running from Silverton to Ouray, Colorado. Supposedly cost over a million dollars to build in the 1880s. Others extend that as far south as Durango Colorado, and even as far north as Montrose, CO. Definitely worthy of a few days of your time in the fall.
I know I've talked about the Burmis tree when posting images of other Limber Pines. Here is the actual tree. Note the crutch that helps to keep it standing against some rather ferocious winds which are a trade mark of Southern Alberta. As always best viewed at full resolution.

There is a highway (U.S. 550) that runs from Bernallilo, NM (just north of Albuquerque) to Farmington, Durango, CO, Silverton, Ouray and all the way to Montrose, CO. The 25 mile section of the highway 550 that runs between Silverton. CO to Ouray, CO is a scenic byway that is called the "Million Dollar Highway." (Actually I think the entire stretch from Durango to Telluride should be called that.)
When I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan, October 30 was "Devil's night" - when raucous kids went around smashing pumpkins and committing other pre-Halloween pranks. Today's photo is inspired by that.

Don't remember exact location. Somewhere between Silverton and Telluride I think.
It’s called that because it cost a million dollars a mile to build!
Million Dollar Highway
Offering breathtaking mountain, valley and gorge views, the Million Dollar Highway cost a reported million dollars a mile to build. The road winds and clings to the mountain providing dramatic view at every turn. Part of the San Juan Skyway Colorado Scenic Byway.

And on a bike, I'd be looking forward to a lot of climbing and the thrill of the descent! ZOOM!! ZOOM!!. (Bicycle)
Keeping with Halloween: Alien pods?
Cacti! (I killed one where I worked. It's a gift. I swore I could kill a rock at one point
)
Thought as I was paying a visit for an iPod Pro issue I’d share a photo of the Apple Store nearest me in Cardiff, Wales
Amazing, looks to be in a very similar setting to my nearest store, in Essex.

I did not know that. I always thought it was because of the million dollar views! But it makes sense.It’s called that because it cost a million dollars a mile to build!

I believe I’ve been on that highway before, many years ago as a child. My older brother knew he wanted to be a geologist when he was in grade school, and planned our family road trip routes at a rather young age. He managed to take us past many amazing sites.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised Hugh, they do pick similar places i.e. the big shopping centres me thinksAmazing, looks to be in a very similar setting to my nearest store, in Essex.

This is the actual Columbus statue c1892 at Columbus circle during restoration - it's in its original position above 59th Street. During restoration, Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi built an exhibit at the top around the statue: a luxury apartment complete in every detail, including a coffee table with Columbus apparently standing on top of it.
