After a morning of exploring Osaka, I treated myself to this amazing set, flavorful fried rice, juicy karaage, and steaming miso soup, all at a surprisingly affordable price. Osaka truly proves why it’s one of Japan’s best cities for ramen and comfort food.
No co-pays and no pesky deductibles at this health facility. Of course you won't find any doctors or nurses here either. Just the quiet mood of abandonment.
Happy Fence Friday everyone. More of a railing than a fence, but it's what I got.

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the "tin Lizzie") was produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1908 to May 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans.
This 1926 Ford Model T, BF 6529, is seen at a non-racing event at Prescott speed hill climb on 17th April 2021.
"Whither would you go?
What country, by the nature of your error,
Should give you harbor?
...
Why, you must needs be strangers?
Would you be pleased
To find a nation of such barbarous temper
That breaking out in hideous violence
Would not afford you an abode on earth?
Whet their detested knives against your throat,
Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God
Owned not nor made not you, nor that the elements
Were not all appropriate to your comfort,
But charter’d unto them?
What would you think
To be thus used?
This is the stranger's case"
- Theodore Dreiser.
Another image of the beautiful Christine falls from Mt Rainier National Park. In my earlier posts about our visit to the park, I have talked about how our trip to the park coincided with a storm. The storm pretty much covered the entire park in clouds, and the whole time we were there, we couldn’t even seethe main attraction of the park, Mt Rainier itself. We were not discouraged, though and the reason for our bright outlook was the sheer number of beautiful waterfalls around the park.
The stormy overcast conditions were perfect for waterfall photography. Christine Falls, located on the eastern side of the park, and with such a beautiful setting, we could not afford not to visit the waterfall. While the scene at Christine falls is gorgeous, it’s the only composition you can make here as I am not sure getting to the fall's base is even possible. After taking the standard composition, I tried some variations in attempting to frame the waterfall with a tree near the viewing platform. I intended to give a certain depth to the scene. The technical details are pretty straight forward. I used a polarizing filter and a three-stop ND filter to slow the shutter speed and cut down the foliage glare.

Set out to shoot some snow, got dooped by a rise in temps and a subsequent change to rain. Same spot, but improvised on my idea. Also decided to go with the same treatment I've been giving my oddball series. Hope you enjoy.

Sorry folks, but I just keep coming and going...when I can get online, I spend all my time reading, and the more I read, the more confused I get!!! If I could afford it, I'd go buy a Mac tomorrow!
American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Skylark / alauda arvensis. Derbyshire. 06/05/21.
I had been watching the Skylark preening on top of the wooden fence post for a couple of minutes. It was being jostled by gusts of wind and had difficulty keeping balance. Then it started to rain so it dropped to the ground where rocks and grasses afforded some shelter. My image was made at the point of take-off.

...although not much room inside. These colourful beach huts come out every spring along the promenade at Paignton and make a great subject for a panoramic crop.
There is a small garden next to the former royal residence of King Rama I. It afforded me some very welcome shade and a place to sit for a few minutes

Upper Proxy Falls, the often ignored upstream sibling of Oregon's iconic Lower Proxy Falls. To me this waterfall is every bit as beautiful as its downstream relative - the only disadvantage being the limited vantage point that you are afforded to shoot this waterfall.

A vastly important site within this featured array of artificial 'caves', and another example featured within the diagram linked below (second right).
The River Ebro 'highway' ebbs and changes direction just 5km away. Modestly moving on its long narrative of silting the Mediterranean sea with mountain grain. And as it turns from the north, the tight fluvial system provides a clean pointer and link with the Atlantic coast. Approaching the great river's source, the river simply holds a valley and hides its future with local modesty. The valley that confluences at the turning point is the (river) 'Arroyo Mardancho', the same river that flows under this monolithic church site. A sacred spring into the Arroyo Mardancho sits under this sites monolith, providing relentless fresh water to this day.
Both the Ebro and the Mardancho can easily and naturally link with the northern passage to the Rio Besaya and the Altlantic coast, and if the Ebro was once conceptualised as a great west/east, then the Mardancho would have been part of its raison d'etre. The Mardancho is also a key route to the Ebro from the CeltIberic hill fort of Mont Bernedo.
Seen by night this site hides its rarity, and some words are required to show that all is not as it first appears:
The tiled roof is a modern addition, and lifts above an outcrop of sandstone, in effect protecting the rock's surface for future generations. The rock outcrop that makes up the exoskeleton for the interior man-made space, is comprehensively covered with monolithic Sarcophage; many linked, some seeming to indicate a family unit, and some of the dimension of infants and children. A further and detached flat rock outcrop - behind this shot and up the slope, continues the theme, with another 20 or so examples of carved Sarcophage - some with trapezoid form, most andromorphic. Todays church is thus under the imprints of ancestors rather than over their memory, which tends to be the Christian tradition. Other examples of man-made spaces under monolithic necropolis do exist (see future posts), and this is not an example of idiosyncratic design, rather another local example from an upstream Ebro theme.
Organic and oblong openings have been sealed, and at times squared into shape, and the inside has lost much of its organic narrative after being 'modernised' with a tightening of edge and form - probably during a Moorish or Visigoth occupation period, so up to the 10th century.
The exterior shape of the monolith has also been walled up to afford it a clean set of lines. The illuminated Romanesque bell tower is built as a different building behind the outcrop, in the way that Italian bell towers can be separate, and in keeping with the site at Santos Justo y Pastor - just five straight km away (see below).
Socket marks show that a porch or lean-to once 'hid' the scale of the interior vaults. These marks and some other step and bench marks are worn in ways that show a use far beyond those of ideas of lone hermits.

Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blue
Do you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expect
Start in lingerie, and doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, youve got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt
Youve been used, youre confused
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
Youre on top of the world again
Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?
Do you went to work in c&a, cause thats what they expect
Move to ladieswear and take a feel off joe the storeman
Tell veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
Shes got everything to gain cause shes a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer and youre always wearing clogs
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Heed of english gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think youre doing?
Do you think youre better then the other kids? well get outside.
Youve got permission, but youve got to make the bastard think hes right

I got out of school early today to go to an orthodontist appointment to make a date to get my braces off!
I'm getting them off in 6 weeks :]
Very exciting. Which means theyll be off by HALLOWEEN! :D
I just have to wear 6 rubber bands for 6 weeks straight :p
Whatever, its worth it :]
The typical NIMBY situation. We all lament - and with good reasons - the lack of affordable housing in Frankfurt and surroundings, but nobody likes to see buildings cropping up in the fields, specially if the countryside to be plastered happens to be next door. Steinbach, in the outskirts of Frankfurt, is full of grafittis and signs protesting against the "Josefstadt". I assume Mike Josef, our current Mayor, has suported to projects in the area.

A very Sad Story !!
The Legend of Dead Horse Point
Dead Horse Point is a peninsula of rock atop sheer sandstone cliffs. The peninsula is connected to the mesa by a narrow strip of land called the neck. There are many stories about how this high promontory of land received its name.
According to one legend, around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys rounded up these horses, herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck, which is only 30-yards-wide, was then fenced off with branches and brush. This created a natural corral surrounded by precipitous cliffs straight down on all sides, affording no escape. Cowboys then chose the horses they wanted and let the culls or broomtails go free. One time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.
I got to sneak in a lunch date with this inquisitive guy, peeking at me from under his stroller cover, and his mama. In my return to a more traditional 9-5 I've lost some of the flexibility and freedom that freelancing provided. I've gained other things I know (read: insurance we can afford that actually pays for my seemingly endless doctor's appointments and my husband's mental health needs). I know this. I'm grateful.
But I miss scheduling my comings and goings independent of a larger organization. On early fall afternoons walking to our town center for midday tacos has all the appeal. Combining that with getting time with a friend midweek infused a hectic few days with some levity. Good conversation, yummy food, baby snuggles... the good stuff. I love that this project reminds me, again and again of it.
Where's the good stuff in your life this week?

Built in 1922, this 3 mile stretch is all that remains of what is known as the “Ribbon Road” a 9 foot wide paved stretch of old Route 66. It is said that Oklahoma could not afford to pave the entire length of the road so they paved only half the width of the road.

*This was a part of my afternoon road trip from Springfield, Missouri to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and back along Route 66.
On the way back to Missouri, a thunderstorm popped up out of no where near Vinita, Oklahoma, and was able to take advantage of the clouds to get these pictures along the Ribbon Highway. The storms was much welcomed with the temps dived from the low 100s to the confortable mid 70s. The rest of the drive home allowed us to have the car windows down the rest of the way and giving the air conditioner a much needed break.
BN eastbound Laurel to Lincoln #178 is pulling up around the wye at the west end of the yard, passing the "west shack" that used to be THE yard office before all the coal trains started. The "Q" built it with their usual attention to solid construction and I'd hardly call it a shack, but by now the real yard office was perched on top of the portico of the two story Alliance Division offices, a position that afforded the Yardmaster a good look at the controlled (barely) chaos of his domain. Those ore hoppers most likely don't contain ore; they probably have ballast picked up at Guersey where a ballast pit was located. There was also a connection at this time with the Colorado & Wyoming at Guernsey, but the iron ore from the Hartville/Sunrise mine was always - in my observation - in standard hoppers, stained as red as the ballast from Guernsey was. Over those first few ore/ballast jennies is suspended the Q-style cantilever signal bridge that marked the junction of the "Billings main" via Edgemont, Gillette, and Sheridan, with the "south line" that went via Scottsbluff, Wendover and Wind River Canyons to Laurel. The U30c, SD45, and two U30c's are having a good tug on what is probably a good sized train to get it into the yard. The tail end of the train is passing the very beginnings of construction of a new "South Yard" to accomodate all the coal traffic while this originall yard will be relegated to manifest and whatever loaded coal trains need a brief servicing stop.
