My Walking Day Dreams (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking along the shores of Manzanita Lake and the namesake loop trail. The view is looking to the south-southeast across the lake waters with Lassen Peak as a distant backdrop. This is located in Lassen Volcanic National Park. In composing this image, I took advantage of the opening of trees along this section of the trail. I decided to angle my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera slightly downward and bring the horizon a little higher into the image. I wanted to have Lassen Peak brought higher into the image, as I felt it would add a sense of grandeur, as well as minimizing what I felt was more of the negative space with the blue skies in the upper portion of the image. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in DxO PhotoLab 8. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 7 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.

the problem with building out america's rail network btw is that it's privatized and there will never be a corporate incentive strong enough or backed enough to implement effective, accessible, AND privatized countrywide travel. nationalize railways deliver on the demands of railway workers and most importantly respect indigenous sovereignty/include indigenous design input when plotting routes
#and a million other things mostly to do with geology but in terms of politics and morals this is what im going with as far as a snappy#summary of 'the problem'#however geology elaboration: america is So hard to build railways across because our most populated areas along the west coast#(where most of the rail drought is; rail PRICING on the east coast is a whole nother thing)#are stupid mountainous. the california hsr plan is spending several million more on the rail line bc they gotta plan around a mountain#and the problem gets worse the farther north you get on account of the cascades and ESPECIALLY the region around shasta#in another life i was a seismic engineer. anyway#i'm looking for a papers or other peer-reviewed content on the history of american rail labor#if anyone has favorites send them my way cause all my research is locked on california and the pacific coast more broadly#'research' my font of pdfs i downloaded from ILLs lol

The Center for Biological Diversity today petitioned for federal protection of Sierra Nevada red foxes in the Oregon and California Cascades, from Lassen Peak to Mt. Hood. The petition asks that the fox be listed as a threatened or endangered species under the Endangered Species Act.
“These precious mountain foxes need our help if they’re going to have any chance at survival in our rapidly warming world,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center. “The problems facing the Sierra Nevada red fox are complex and mounting, as they are for so many species in the mountains of western North America.”
In response to a previous Center petition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protected a fox population near Sonora Pass in the Sierra Nevada as endangered. But in 2015 the Service denied the fox protection in the Cascades, citing lack of information.Since then, considerable research has shown that fox populations in Lassen, Crater Lake National Park, the Central Cascades and Mt. Hood are isolated, exceedingly small and facing multiple threats.
The fox once ranged throughout high-elevation areas of the Cascades in forests and alpine meadows. But the species has been lost from large portions of its range, including Mt. Shasta. Poisoning as part of historic predator eradication efforts and trapping were primary drivers of the fox’s historic decline.
Today the fox is threatened by habitat loss caused by fires, logging, livestock grazing and development, increased recreation and climate change, which is pushing the fox’s habitat off the top of mountains.
An additional threat is competition and predation from coyotes, which have proliferated in the Cascades in the absence of wolves. Coyotes are likely to move uphill as snowpacks recede with warming.
“The harms we’re doing to the natural world are accumulating and interacting in complex ways to the detriment of animals like the Sierra Nevada red fox,” said Greenwald. “Historic killing of predators, including wolves and the fox, have left the fox vulnerable to coyotes and risks inherent to small populations. And now, increased interest in outdoor recreation and global warming represent new and growing threats to the fox.”
The fox’s surviving populations are critically small. The population found in the Lassen area, for example, was recently estimated to contain fewer than 10 breeding adults. The other populations are not much bigger.

Once called the Eighth Wonder of the World by Teddy Roosevelt, Burney Falls is certainly a majestic sight! It’s also one of the most over-photographed spots in the western USA making it very hard to produce an image that doesn’t look like a thousand other images already in existence. Enter infrared photography. I’ve only seen one other infrared image of the falls prior to capturing it in invisible light myself. I captured this image with my full spectrum camera fitted with an 830 nanometer “deep infrared” filter. It was late on an early May afternoon when some unsettled weather was moving through the area making for some dramatic clouds overhead yet providing some sun to get that nice IR glow off the trees. Being a weekday in less than stellar weather, it also kept the crowd at bay and I had the overlook to myself for a time which certainly helped!

Undeniably an American Masterpiece (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While hiking along the Kings Creek Falls Trail with a view looking to the south-southeast at the namesake creek flowing by. This is located in Lassen Volcanic National Park. What drew me into this setting was the way the view opened to my front amongst the nearby evergreen trees and Kings Creek as a leading line into the image. The rest was the shadows cast, whether from the trees or in the grassy meadow. I loved the “texture” that all created and worked to process this in both DxO PhotoLab 8 and Color Efex Pro.

I don't see timetables on the amtrak web page, just hours when a station is open. Should I plan on getting to the station I'd leave from hours before the one I'd arrive at would close? (Would be a couple hours in a car)
The app usually will schedule to allow for a few hours of time to get a transfer. You can get time tables by looking up the name of the route then "timetable" in a search engine. Here are a few timetables to help though
