Jawbone Canyon
Jawbone Canyon is a geographic feature in the Mojave Desert and a Bureau of Land Management area located in Kern County, California, 20 miles (32 km) north of Mojave on CA 14. The area is a popular destination for hikers and off road vehicle enthusiasts.
Europeans first settled in the canyon around 1860—naming it Jawbone because its shape resembled a mandible—and the trail was used as a trade route from Keyesville into the Piute Mountains (not to be confused with the Piute Mountains of the eastern Mojave Desert). During the Kern River gold rush, several gold mines operated in the canyon; the most successful of these, the St. John mine, yielded nearly $700,000 worth of gold between 1860 and 1875. The Gwynn mine, on the Geringer Grade, ran six claims yielding a total of $770,000 worth of gold and quartz before ceasing operations in 1942. Mining continued throughout the 1940s, mainly focused on rhyolite and antimony.

Historic railway station beneath the mountains in Rural countryside
Fairlight railway station was once a thriving tourist hub. It is found about 45 minutes from Queenstown. Up until 2013 it was used by the Kingston Flyer – an historic steam engine that hauled vintage carriages between Kingston and Fairlight.

Mansfield grew as a timber town and the terminus of a railway, 210 km from Melbourne. From the 1950s it has become a tourist base for skiing at Mt Buller (Victoria's busiest resort, day-return from Melbourne), then for summer mountain activities (fishing, biking, hiking), now for tree-change relocation. Meanwhile, state-government policy has caused a decline in the timber industry. The main street holds three hotels, and a range of cafes and food outlets.
It was the closest town to the epicentre of a recent earthquake, but suffered little damage.

Appalachian Bluet
While driving the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday to see the wonderful blooms of azaleas, I noticed these Appalachian Bluets. I used a wide aperture to soften the image.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

Mount Saint Helens Up Close
On this date, 42 years ago, Mount Saint Helens erupted and became the deadliest and most destructive volcanic eruption in U.S. history.
I had a chance to visit this majestic mountain last year, and needless to say, I was in awe from the second I laid eyes on it.
Pictured is the horseshoe-shaped crater left behind from the eruption. You can see the glaciers that formed after in the center of the picture.
