Colorado's Rocky Mountaineer folks added a couple of units to their roster this season. Coming to Denver are SD18M 187 and SD40M-2 8600, shown here approaching the Blue Mountain Road crossing between Eisele and Plain, Colorado, on UP's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision. The glistening unit will stop at the crossing to pick up lunches for the crew from RM's superintendent. The two units are on a five-year lease from Horizon Rail Leasing.
The SD18M will be used in the yard to switch passenger cars as needed. The 8600, equipped with PTC, will be used as a substitute on the Denver-Moab, Utah, Mountaineer when one of the regular GP40-3s needs maintenance. In this scene, the 8600 is undergoing PTC testing, making a round-trip between Denver and Crescent. The 8600 will be "rebranded RMRX" in the next few days.

With the addition of another fallen tree downstream, the water in this part of Ripley creek seems to be widening and I just loved the melted water on the ice and the reflection.
In addition to finally getting some sun, I think I finally got a decent roll! Despite being a little warry about using Rodinal with Fortepan 100, these turned out wonderfully. With excellent contrast, tonality, and edge sharpness. Yes, some visible grain, but it isn't detracting from the overall look of the images.
The full review drops in February 2023!

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།
The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Approaching the Bingley Five Rise Locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, relatively unusual on canals for not having a stretch of open water or pound between the locks. The top gate of one lock is therefore the bottom gate of the lock above, so only six are needed instead of ten. Only a few hundred metres south is Bingley Three Rise, the same type of structure, so having four gates instead of six.
These are the steepest locks in the UK, but there are four other of these staircase locks, Foxton in Leicestershire having two sets of five separated by a short pound.
This is a view from the bottom of Five Rise.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal links the Yorkshire city of Leeds with the Lancashire city and port of Liverpool, although neither was a city until many decades after the canal opened. A proposal to construct the waterway resulted from a public meeting in Bradford in 1766 and, after numerous changes to the plans, the Act for construction was passed in Parliament four years later, with work ceremonially started near Liverpool in November 1770.
It was, however, the Yorkshire section between Skipton and Bingley that opened first, in 1773, this including the Three Rise and Five Rise Locks. Completion of the main line of 127 miles was not until 1816, and there were some small additions to the system in the next four years, but it was not until 2009 that the link into Liverpool city centre and the docks was made. The main line has 91 locks.

MBTA F40PH-3C 1036 is the MBTA's fifth addition to its fleet of 'heritage' paint schemes paying homage to the system's early years and its legacy predecessors. This unit is dressed in in a facsimile of the gorgeous two tone gray New York Central Railroad 'Lightning Stripe' scheme worn by the road's passenger units that once led trains on the old Boston and Albany mainline, what is today the MBTA's Worcester Line. Here she is leading outbound Keolis/MBTA train 1061 to Greenbush leaving the city of Boston and entering Quincy as she climbs up Main 1 over the Neponset River bridge at MP 5 on the modern day Middleboro Mainline.
This route traces its history back to November 10, 1845 when the Old Colony Railroad ran its first train from South Boston 36.8 miles to Plymouth. As the 19th century progressed the company expanded through acquisitions (including even the Boston and Providence Railroad which was one of the nation's first railroads and survives today as an integral part of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) and construction into a more than 600 mile long system by 1893 when it was leased to the New Haven Railroad for 999 years.
Into the 20th century the original Old Colony Routes fortunes ebbbed and flowed but by the 1930s the ancestral suburban passenger service was an albatross around the neck of the NH. Finally in June 1959 passenger service from Boston to south shore points on this route came to an end and within months the NH's double track (once four track!) drawbridge here burned under mysterious circumstances. Freight business to Braintree, Quincy and other points along the former OC thereafter was served from the south via Attleboro, Taunton, and Middleboro.
In 1971 the MBTA's Red Line was extended to Quincy using the abandoned OC RofW and a new bridge (the one on the right) was built for the transit line.
Finally more than 38 years after the New Haven ran its last passenger train the new Old Colony came back to life when the MBTA began service to Middleboro and Plymouth (with the route to Greenbush coming a decade later). The biggest engineering project on the entirety of the rebuilt route was this new Neponset River bridge. Rather than a draw span a new double track structure was buit parallel to and with the same profile and clearance as the Red Line bridge. Since no freight trains travel this route the grades on each approach are 3% to provide 40 ft of clearance over mean high tide. The bridge is of ballasted thru girder design and is 1190 ft in length. To learn more about this bridge and rebuilding of this route check out this great document I found:

In addition to 30 brand new ES44AC's, FXE also bought 30 former NS SD70ACU, which 6 have already been sent to Guadalajara in patched NS paint and completely gutted inside.
4 are currently stored in Guadalajara (7324, 7251, 7276 & 7331), while 2 were sent to Tepic for storage (7280 & 7259).
PRLX 7324 recently got a full repaint into Zebra and has a new name: FXE 4164. But just like it's 5 sisters, it will need a full rebuild before it can hit the road.
PTC system was also gutted so don't expect these leading in the US once completed.

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.
People enjoying a boat race on Wascana Lake north of the Legislative Building circa 1910.
The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.
Port House is the newest addition to Antwerp’s skyline. This funky and innovative building, with roots in the past, is the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority that accommodates over 500 employees.
The bottom part was once a fire station.

Tazettas are floriferous or bunch flowering daffodils: they produce several blossoms per stem, at a minimum three or four.
However, clusters of eighteen or even twenty are not rare.
In addition, Tazetta Daffodils always have a very sweet, musky fragrance, for which they are deservedly prized.
Hope this makes you smile again, have a great day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Die fünf Säle im westlichen Erdgeschoss des Königsbaus wurden im Auftrag König Ludwigs I. nach Entwürfen des Architekten Leo von Klenze in Anlehnung an italienische Vorbilder ausgestaltet. Wand- und Deckenbilder führte Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld von 1828 bis 1834 und von 1843 bis 1867 unter Mitarbeit von Friedrich von Olivier und Wilhelm Hauschild aus. Sie zeigen Szenen des im frühen 13. Jahrhundert niedergeschriebenen Nibelungenlieds, das 1755 wiederentdeckt worden war. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde es als Nationalepos angesehen; daher sollten die Nibelungensäle gemäß dem Willen des Königs auch von Anbeginn der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.Die großteils erhaltenen, 1955-1960 wiederhergestellten Fresken stellen ein Hauptwerk der nazarenischen Monumentalmalerei dar, dessen Bedeutung für alle nachfolgenden künstlerischen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Nibelungenstoff kaum überschätzt werden kann.

The five halls on the western ground floor of the Königsbau were designed by architect Leo von Klenze on behalf of King Ludwig I, based on Italian models. Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld painted the wall and ceiling murals between 1828 and 1834 and between 1843 and 1867, with the assistance of Friedrich von Olivier and Wilhelm Hauschild. They depict scenes from the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), written in the early 13th century and rediscovered in 1755. In the 19th century, it was regarded as a national epic; therefore, in accordance with the king's wishes, the Nibelungenhalls were to be open to the public from the outset. The frescoes, most of which have been preserved and were restored between 1955 and 1960, represent a major work of Nazarene monumental painting, whose significance for all subsequent artistic explorations of the Nibelungen material can hardly be overestimated.

Die Münchner Residenz war von 1508 bis 1918 Sitz der Herzöge, Kurfürsten und Könige von Bayern aus dem Haus Wittelsbach. In vier Jahrhunderten wurde sie von den Architekten Friedrich Sustris, Joseph Effner, François de Cuvilliés d. Ä. und Leo von Klenze in den Stilen Renaissance, Barock, Rokoko und Klassizismus von der kleinen Wehrburg zur monumentalen Vierflügelanlage ausgebaut. Sie besteht aus dem Festsaalbau an der Hofgartenstraße, dem Apothekenbau am Marstallplatz, dem Königsbau am Max-Joseph-Platz und dem Maximiliansbau an der Residenzstraße. Neben dem Cuvilliés-Theater und der Allerheiligen-Hofkirche gehören auch der Hofgarten und der Marstall zum Bauensemble, das im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört und danach unter der Leitung von Otto Meitinger wiederaufgebaut wurde. Die Münchner Residenz ist mit mehr als 40.000 Quadratmetern Grundfläche das größte Stadtschloss Deutschlands und mit mehr als 150 Schauräumen eines der bedeutendsten Schlossmuseen Europas.

From 1508 to 1918, Munich Residence was the seat of the dukes, electors and kings of Bavaria from the House of Wittelsbach. Over four centuries, architects Friedrich Sustris, Joseph Effner, François de Cuvilliés the Elder and Leo von Klenze expanded it from a small fortified castle into a monumental four-wing complex in the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical styles. It consists of the Festsaalbau (ballroom) on Hofgartenstraße, the Apothekenbau (pharmacy building) on Marstallplatz, the Königsbau (‘Royal Palace’) on Max-Joseph-Platz and the Maximiliansbau (‘Maximilian’s Palace’) on Residenzstraße. In addition to the Cuvilliés Theatre and the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche (All Saints’ Court Church), the Hofgarten (“Court Garden”) and the Marstall (“Royal Stables”) are also part of the building complex, which was destroyed during the Second World War and subsequently rebuilt under the direction of Otto Meitinger. With a floor space of more than 40,000 square metres, Munich Residence is the largest city palace in Germany and, with more than 150 exhibition rooms, one of the most important palace museums in Europe.
Another addition to the shade garden. An evergreen shade plant. My kind of plant! Similar to the hellebores.
Now if it would just climb out of the pot and plant itself. :-)
This is about 3 ft tall. It could become a small tree eventually.
Aberdeen Art Gallery Designed in the neo-classical style by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie, Aberdeen Art Gallery opened in 1885. It was extended in the 1920s with the addition of the Cowdray Hall concert venue, the interior Remembrance Hall and the exterior Cenotaph, all by the original architect. Between 2015 and 2019 the Art Gallery underwent a landmark redevelopment supported by Aberdeen City Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund and led by Hoskins Architects. With more treasures on display and vastly improved visitor facilities, the Art Gallery must-see for local people and visitors to the city. www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/AAGM/plan-your-visit/aberdeen-art...
Aberdeen War Memorial. The War Memorial and Cowdray Hall is the City of Aberdeen's memorial to the fallen of both World Wars. Designed by Dr. A. Marshall Mackenzie and Son. The lion sculpture was designed by William MacMillan, A.R.A. It was sculpted in Kemnay granite by lead mason James Philip, assisted by George Cooper. Archibald Simpson (4 May 1790 – 23 March 1847) was a Scottish architect, who along with his rival John Smith, is regarded as having fashioned the character of Aberdeen as "The Granite City". www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/planning_environment/planning/con....

Der Azaleen- und Rhododendronpark Kromlau ist ein ca. 200 ha großer Landschaftspark im Ortsteil Kromlau der Gemeinde Gablenz im Landkreis Görlitz. Er gilt als die größte Rhododendren-Freilandanlage in Deutschland und ist bei freiem Eintritt immer geöffnet. 1842 erwarb der Großgrundbesitzer Friedrich Hermann Rötschke das Gut Kromlau. Ab 1844, mit den ersten Anpflanzungen einheimischer und fremdländischer Gehölze in diesem Gut, stellte Rötschke fast die Hälfte seines Besitzes zur Gestaltung des Parks zur Verfügung. Es wurden Basaltsteine mit Ochsenkarren aus verschiedenen Steinbrüchen der Sächsischen Schweiz und Böhmen herbeigeholt. Aus den sechskantigen Basaltstelen entstanden Höhlen, Grotten und Pyramiden, der Richterstuhl, die Orgel, Himmel und Hölle, im Wasser und zu Lande. 1875 tauschte Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke sein Rittergut gegen Bauplätze in Wilmersdorf bei Berlin ein. Das Kromlauer Schloss hatte von hier an sieben Besitzer in vierzehn Jahren. 1889 erwarb Graf von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten das Rittergut und beauftragte ab 1893 den Gartenbauinspektor Georg Eichler mit der Parkpflege. Dieser begann neben den bisherigen Baum- und Strauchgewächsen in größerem Umfang Rhododendren und Freiland-Azaleen anzupflanzen. Sie sollten zu einem harmonisch abgerundeten Erscheinungsbild der Parkanlage beitragen. Außerdem legten die Gartengestalter in den Moorsenken eigens zum Verkauf bestimmte Blumenzüchtungen an, die einen einträglichen Nebenverdienst erbrachten und der Entwicklung des Parks zugutekamen.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Kromlauer Park aufgrund der Bodenreform in Volkseigentum überführt und 1948 zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärt. Erst ab 1966 begannen die zielgerichtete Pflege und Rekonstruktion des Parks. Heute ist die Gemeinde Gablenz Eigentümer des Kromlauer Parkes.
Zu den interessantesten Bauwerken im Kromlauer Park zählen das Kromlauer Schloss und die von 1863 bis 1882 aus Basalt- und Feldsteinen errichtete Rakotzbrücke (Rakotz = Sorbisch für Krebs, denn Kromlau liegt im Siedlungsgebiet der Sorben), die im Volksmund auch Teufelsbrücke genannt wird. Mit einer Spannweite von 35 m quert sie den Rakotzsee, kann jedoch nicht betreten werden. Ihr Halbkreis spiegelt sich im See und bildet so optisch einen vollständigen Kreis. Die im See angeordneten Basaltsäulen werden „Orgel“ genannt. Eine Reihe von Wanderwegen erschließt den Park und die weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park is a landscaped park covering around 200 hectares in the village of Kromlau, part of of the municipality of Gablenz in the district of Görlitz in east Saxony. It is considered the largest open-air rhododendron park in Germany and is always open with free admission. The large landowner Friedrich Hermann Rötschke acquired the Kromlau estate in 1842. From 1844, with the first plantings of native and non-native trees and shrubs on the estate, Rötschke allocated almost half of his property to the creation of the park. Basalt stones were brought in with ox carts from various quarries in Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia. Caves, grottos and pyramids, the Judge's Seat, the Organ, Heaven and Hell, in water and on land, were created from the hexagonal basalt steles. In 1875, Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke exchanged his estate for building plots in Wilmersdorf near Berlin. From then on, Kromlau Castle had seven owners in fourteen years. In 1889, Count von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten acquired the manor and from 1893 commissioned the horticultural inspector Georg Eichler to maintain the park. He began planting rhododendrons and azaleas on a large scale alongside the existing trees and shrubs. They were to contribute to the harmonious appearance of the park. In addition, the garden designers planted flower cultivars in the bog depressions specifically for sale, which generated a lucrative side income and benefited the development of the park.
After the Second World War, the Kromlau Park was transferred to public ownership as a result of the land reform and declared a nature reserve in 1948. It was not until 1966 that targeted maintenance and reconstruction of the park began. Today, the municipality of Gablenz is the owner of Kromlau Park.
The most interesting buildings in Kromlau Park include Kromlau Manor and the Rakotz Bridge (Rakotz = Sorbian for crab - Kromlau is part of the settlement area of the recognised slavic minority of the Sorbs), which was built between 1863 and 1882 from basalt and fieldstone and is also known locally as the Devil's Bridge. With a span of 35 metres, it crosses Lake Rakotz, but can not be walked on. Its semi-circle is reflected in the lake and thus visually forms a complete circle. The basalt columns arranged in the lake are called ‘organs’. A series of hiking trails provide access to the park and the other sights.

The 4th addition to the Raiders of the Lost Ark series, this vignette proved to be quite a challenge in terms of avoiding monotony. While I'm not entirely convinced that it is overflowing with detail, I am confident that this version is 100% better than the original MOC I photographed. Slight but important changes were made in tile consistency, city layout, and even the positioning of the 1x1 round printed tile on the staff.
This scene depicts Indiana Jones using the Staff of Ra to find the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. It's one of my favorite scenes not just because of the musical score, but also due to the suspense and brilliant lighting effects.
(I would like to thank all the builders from the Harry Potter vignette story collaboration for inspiring me. Also, a big thank you to Mel and Markus for explaining in further detail their masterpieces at BrickWorld.)

My newest addition to my Lego train fleet is this model of Canadian National Railways N-2-b Consolidation type locomotive number 2476.
This engine was built in September of 1918 by Montreal Locomotive Works as Canadian Northern Railway 2476. It would then be acquired by the newly formed Canadian National Railway in September of 1919. Consolidation type locomotives were often know by CNR crews as “freight hogs” and mainly did a lot of smaller way freights and switching. Over the years, this engine would receive many different modifications such as getting slope sheet pushers replaced with stokers as well as various modifications for switching service. With a tractive effort of about 50000lbs, This locomotive was one of the more powerful 2-8-0s that the CNR had. 2476 spent its service life working all across Ontario and It would spend its final year based out of Allandale before being retired at the end of July 1958. It was ultimately scrapped in October of 1961.
My model is built to a 1:48 scale and measures, 58 studs long from coupler to coupler. It is powered with one Power Functions L motor geared 1:1 to the drivers. The driving wheels are #10 drivers purchased by Brick Train Depot and OKBrickWorks which scale almost perfectly to the 63" Drivers on the prototype. I tried as much as I could to get as many details on the locomotive as I could and I am overall quite happy with how they turned out. My particular favorites are the bell mounted above the nose, the elesco feedwater heater and the coal boards on the tender. I am also thrilled by the conecting rods on this locomotive. I did the design work on them myself and then had them 3D printed with shapeways. I would like to especially thank Glenn Holland for guiding me in the right direction when working on these rods. I did the decal artwork myself and the decals are of course printed by OKBrickWorks. The numberplate, I had custom printed by Brickforge and I am thrilled with how it turned out!
Overall I am really pleased with my model, I have wanted to build a steam locomotive for a while now and I am thrilled with the result. This engine runs well and will be a great addition to my fleet!

To my Collection.
Got back from Rose City Comic Con, and it was a blast. It's getting more crowded, but it's still immensely entertaining.
Also hey, new figs! The seller was trying to clear out his collection and was practically giving figs away, everything here was acquired for five to ten bucks.
Just wanted to get a group photo of em all before I line em up on my shelves.
Also I didn't end up getting any figs that weren't Star Wars cause the selection was pretty limited. Gotta wait till Brick Con for the expansive stuff.

Le pont de Wandre relie, en enjambant la Meuse et le canal Albert, Herstal à Liège. Conçu par le bureau d’études René Greisch, il remplace deux ponts indépendants – un sur chaque voie d’eau – devenus obsolètes suite à la mise au gabarit du canal Albert, dont la largeur est passée de 35 à 85 m. Cet ouvrage, inauguré en 1989, vaudra une distinction au bureau qui l’a imaginé, outre une indéniable reconnaissance internationale.
Long de 524 m, le pont est un ouvrage haubané à pylône central unique d’une hauteur de 102 m, réalisé en béton armé et précontraint. Les travées principales ont une portée de 168 m (Meuse) et 144 m (canal Albert) et sont suspendues au pylône en Y renversé par 19 haubans (entre 73 et 175 m de longueur espacés tous les 6 m au niveau du tablier). La travée d’approche de la rive gauche est désolidarisée du reste et courbe afin de palier d’éventuels tassements dus à la présence d’anciens puits de mine.
La mise en œuvre adoptée a maintenu l’utilisation continue des axes routiers et fluviaux, si bien qu’une grande partie du tablier a été réalisée sur la rive gauche et mise en position par poussage, une technique inédite pour les ponts haubanés. Cette première architecturale mondiale est adéquatement rehaussée par un éclairage de nuit mis en place dès la conception.
Depuis 1993, le pont de Wandre est classé monument du patrimoine historique majeur de Belgique.
The Wandre bridge links, by spanning the Meuse and the Albert canal, Herstal to Liège. Designed by the René Greisch design office, it replaces two independent bridges - one on each waterway - which had become obsolete following the upgrading of the Albert Canal, whose width was reduced from 35 to 85 m. This work, inaugurated in 1989, will be worth a distinction to the office which imagined it, in addition to an undeniable international recognition.
The 524 m long bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a single central pylon, 102 m high, made of reinforced and prestressed concrete. The main spans have a span of 168 m (Meuse) and 144 m (Albert canal) and are suspended from the Y pylon overturned by 19 stay cables (between 73 and 175 m in length spaced every 6 m at the level of the deck). The approach span to the left bank is separated from the rest and curved to compensate for any settlements due to the presence of old mine shafts.
The implementation adopted maintained the continuous use of the road and river axes, so much so that a large part of the deck was carried out on the left bank and put into position by pushing, a new technique for cable-stayed bridges. This world architectural first is adequately enhanced by night lighting implemented from the design stage.
Since 1993, the Wandre bridge has been classified as a major historical heritage monument in Belgium.
In addition to all the butterflies seen at the Cecil B Day Butterfly Center, the butterfly conservatory has lots of beautiful plants and flowers to see at every turn.
Yes, these plants and flowers are planted specifically for the butterflies, but when you turn a corner and spot some beautiful orchids, like the ones above, you just have to grab a shot. Right?

The 153 peeping under the bridge at Horbury Cutting is hardly modern but when I looked at this scene it appeared unchanged for decades. With the ramshackle wooden fencing and the BR post and wire along with the concrete lighting column with its swan neck spiggot and top entry lantern complete with elongated shield. The Dogbox was working 2L06 Sheffield to Leeds.
Fenniarail's timber train from Kurkimäki has started it journey to Kouvola, and it is approaching the small town of Suonenjoki. As the train crosses the local waters, it gives a quick addition to the dominating colour green.
The white tablecloth paired with the multicoloured paper plates and cups, the sausage rolls, crisps and cake. This could only be one thing. A child's birthday party but not just any old birthday party. You are viewing an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday extravaganza! A different photo but certainly a wonderful addition and a perfect summer's day scene.
