In 1905 Union Pacific president E. H. Harriman toured Yellowstone (accompanied by photographer and stage-line operator Frank Jay Haynes) and met with Northern Pacific officials. Seeing the growth in visitation and the need for better facilities, he ordered construction of a branch from the Oregon Short Line (a UP subsidiary) north from St. Anthony/Ashton, Idaho, to the park’s western boundary.

This week, though, a lot was happening and I actually felt a little tired. I also couldn’t decide what to share, so I’m posting two photo projects.

I’m genuinely excited to share that one of my long-running projects has finally borne fruit.

You may or may not know that I’m an architect with a fair amount of experience. Enough that I’ve semi-retired from the profession—but I can’t seem to give it up completely, so I still take on the occasional project.

Snow Canyon is near St. George in Utah.

I thought you might enjoy a couple more shots from the partial lunar eclipse.
