Some authorities deem this bird to be the most beautiful in Thailand. It is a very beautiful bird indeed. It is a type of laughingthrush that is usually quite secretive. I saw 2 of them at Doi Lang East right on the Myanmar border. Actually the road goes through Myanmar at several points and I got some birds for my Myanmar list as well. These birds though were being fed at the military checkpoint. If they weren't being fed I doubt I would have seen one!. There are many feral dogs in Thailand and I was surprised to find six of them on this high mountain road. I enjoyed feeding them some bananas and playing with them as well. The army men were taking good care of the dogs I could tell.

No ropes or anchors would likely have been required to secure these lovely ladies to the dock, during the early January cold snap, These boats appeared well secured, and frozen into place.

A little shoreline bokeh dedicated to Phan Ly for a great testimonial she wrote me - thanks and HBW!
Inspection complete and all the humans ashore, he licked his nose and trotted down the gangway and onto the jetty. Gotta love a dog with authority and attitude.
Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
Das Salzamt war früher eine Behörde, die den Salzabbau und dessen Handel verwaltete. Seit über 200 Jahren gibt es diese Behörde allerdings nicht mehr. Geblieben ist aber die Redewendung, "Beschwere dich doch beim Salzamt" - also bei diesem nicht mehr existierenden Amt, womit die Aussichtslosigkeit von vornherein klar ist !! 😂 Heute gibt es noch ein Lokal namens Salzamt am Ruprechtsplatz.
A trip to Vienna
All those who cannot take a holiday may follow me on a tour through Vienna. Past the famous sights, but perhaps you will also discover sights worth seeing off the beaten track ...
The salt authority used to be an authority that administered salt mining and its trade. This authority has no longer existed for over 200 years, in fact. What has remained is the saying, "Why don't you complain to the Salt Authority" - i.e. to this no longer existing authority, where the hopelessness is clear from the outset !! 😂 Today there is still a locality called 'Salzamt' on Ruprechtsplatz.

MISSION HARBOUR AUTHORITY - 33428 Harbour Ave Mission BC
The iconic Mission Heritage Railway Bridge c. 1909, is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge, spanning the fast paced Fraser River between Mission and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada
Autumn Sundown
Mission Railway Bridge:
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

Museo Guggenheim, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao (en euskera, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; en inglés, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) es un museo de arte contemporáneo diseñado por el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry y localizado en la villa de Bilbao (País Vasco), España. Es uno de los museos vinculados en régimen de franquicia o colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim. Fue inaugurado el 18 de octubre de 1997 por el rey Juan Carlos I de España.
Las negociaciones para la construcción del museo entre las autoridades públicas de la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco y los directivos de la Fundación Guggenheim comenzaron en febrero de 1991. El acuerdo se firmó a finales de ese año, seleccionándose el arquitecto y el emplazamiento del edificio a mediados de 1992. Desde su inauguración en 1997, el museo ha recibido una media superior al millón de visitantes anuales, causando un impacto extraordinario en la economía y la sociedad vasca, impulsando el turismo en la región y promoviendo la revitalización de múltiples espacios públicos y privados en la villa, además de mejorar la imagen de la ciudad. Todo este fenómeno, bautizado por los medios de comunicación como «efecto Guggenheim» o «efecto Bilbao», ha puesto de relieve la importancia del turismo cultural, y ha generado un efecto de emulación en otros países, con desiguales resultados.
La característica más llamativa del museo es el innovador edificio en el que se emplaza, constituido por formas curvilíneas y retorcidas, recubiertas de piedra caliza, cortinas de cristal y planchas de titanio. Cuenta con una superficie total de 24.000 m², de los cuales 10.540 m² están reservados para las exposiciones, distribuidos en 19 galerías, siendo el museo con más metros expositivos del Estado. Se ubica a orillas de la ría de Bilbao, en una zona denominada Abandoibarra, junto al puente de La Salve, que está rodeado por una torre hueca.
Tanto el edificio como su colección permanente pertenecen a las autoridades vascas. El 3 de diciembre de 2014 el patronato del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao aprobó renovar por otros 20 años la colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York, suscrita en 1994 y cuya vigencia vencía el 31 de diciembre.
Diseñado por el gabinete de arquitectos de Frank Gehry, fue abierto al público en 1997 y alberga exposiciones de arte de obras pertenecientes a la fundación Guggenheim y exposiciones itinerantes. Muy pronto el edificio se reveló como uno de los más espectaculares edificios deconstructivistas. El diseño del museo y su construcción siguen el estilo y métodos de Frank Gehry. Como muchos de sus trabajos anteriores la estructura principal está radicalmente esculpida siguiendo contornos casi orgánicos. El museo afirma no contener una sola superficie plana en toda su estructura. Parte del edificio es cruzado por un puente elevado y el exterior está recubierto por placas de titanio y por una piedra caliza que fue muy difícil de encontrar (al final se logró encontrar en Huéscar, Granada) de un color similar a la que se utilizó para construir la Universidad de Deusto.
El edificio visto desde el río aparenta tener la forma de un barco rindiendo homenaje a la ciudad portuaria en la que se inscribe. Sus paneles brillantes se asemejan a las escamas de un pez recordándonos las influencias de formas orgánicas presentes en muchos de los trabajos de Gehry. Visto desde arriba, sin embargo, el edificio posee la forma de una flor. Para su diseño el equipo de Gehry utilizó intensamente simulaciones por ordenador de las estructuras necesarias para mantener el edificio, consiguiendo unas formas que hubieran sido imposibles de realizar unas pocas décadas antes.
Mientras que el museo domina las vistas de la zona desde el nivel del río, su aspecto desde el nivel superior de la calle es mucho más modesto por lo que no desentona con su entorno de edificios más tradicionales.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (in Basque, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; in English, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) is a contemporary art museum designed by Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry and located in the town of Bilbao (Basque Country), Spain. It is one of the museums linked by franchise or collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. It was inaugurated on October 18, 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The negotiations for the construction of the museum between the public authorities of the autonomous community of the Basque Country and the directors of the Guggenheim Foundation began in February 1991. The agreement was signed at the end of that year, selecting the architect and the location of the building mid-1992. Since its inauguration in 1997, the museum has received an average of more than a million visitors per year, causing an extraordinary impact on the Basque economy and society, boosting tourism in the region and promoting the revitalization of multiple public spaces and in the town, in addition to improving the image of the city. All this phenomenon, baptized by the media as the "Guggenheim effect" or "Bilbao effect", has highlighted the importance of cultural tourism, and has generated an effect of emulation in other countries, with uneven results.
The most striking feature of the museum is the innovative building in which it is located, made up of curvilinear and twisted shapes, covered in limestone, glass curtains and titanium plates. It has a total area of 24,000 m², of which 10,540 m² are reserved for exhibitions, distributed in 19 galleries, making it the museum with the most exhibition meters in the State. It is located on the banks of the Bilbao estuary, in an area called Abandoibarra, next to the La Salve bridge, which is surrounded by a hollow tower.
Both the building and its permanent collection belong to the Basque authorities. On December 3, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao approved renewing for another 20 years the collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation of New York, signed in 1994 and whose validity expired on December 31.
Designed by the firm of architects of Frank Gehry, it was opened to the public in 1997 and houses art exhibitions of works belonging to the Guggenheim Foundation and traveling exhibitions. Very soon the building was revealed as one of the most spectacular deconstructivist buildings. The design of the museum and its construction follow the style and methods of Frank Gehry. Like many of his earlier works the main structure is radically sculpted following almost organic contours. The museum claims not to contain a single flat surface in its entire structure. Part of the building is crossed by an elevated bridge and the exterior is covered by titanium plates and by a limestone that was very difficult to find (in the end it was found in Huéscar, Granada) of a similar color to the one used for build the University of Deusto.
Seen from the river, the building appears to have the shape of a ship, paying homage to the port city in which it is part. Its glossy panels resemble the scales of a fish, reminding us of the organic shape influences present in much of Gehry's work. Seen from above, however, the building has the shape of a flower. Gehry's team extensively used computer simulations of the structures needed to support the building for its design, achieving shapes that would have been impossible a few decades earlier.
While the museum commands views of the area from river level, its appearance from the upper street level is much more modest, fitting in with its setting of more traditional buildings.
On the left is Lake Magadi, a large saltwater lake on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater which is actually the world's largest collapsed volcanic caldera. We came through here on our way from Tarangire to Serengeti; we came back and spent a day inside the caldera after the Serengeti. The caldera is unique because it has several different habitats in a relatively small area.
The main geological feature of the Ngorongoro Conservation Authority is the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago, is 610 metres (2,000 feet) deep and its floor covers 260 square kilometres (100 square miles). Estimates of the height of the original volcano range from 4,500 to 5,800 metres (14,800 to 19,000 feet) high. The crater floor is 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) above sea level. The crater was voted by Seven Natural Wonders as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa in Arusha, Tanzania, in February 2013. The Ngorongoro volcano was active from about 2.45 to 2 million years ago.
