I like these rather un-popular gulls though they do tend to get overlooked! This one was standing on top of a monument looking down on a group of holiday makers.
With absolutely no students showing up, the total absence of all teachers & personnel, a major power outage throughout the campus and a collapsed ceiling in Auditorium 5, the back-to-school campaign wasn't exactly successful.

On their was back north with an empty grain train, NS 41J sprints through Seney, Georgia on their way to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
This photograph was made with three types of lighting. The first was directed white light to the subject. The second green and violet light directed at the walls and the third an effect with steel wool behind the subject .
Constructed between 1847 and 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, (MS&LR - later became the Great Central), this is Torksey railway Viaduct, which crosses the River Trent between Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire, roughly half way between Lincoln and Gainsborough. Designed by John Fowler (1817-1898), who later was one of the two engineers for the Forth Rail Bridge, Torksey Viaduct is a rare, and early surviving example of a tubular girder bridge.
There are two 130-foot spans over the River Trent, each consisting of two massive wrought iron girders - as seen here.
These are supported on stone piers - one in the centre and one at each side. On the Lincolnshire side is a 570-foot approach viaduct of 20 spans, and the bridge proper starts over a small natural island in the river. The position of the Bridge was chosen to use this island to simplify the task.
Captain Lintorn Simmons, the Board of Trade’s inspector, refused to grant permission for the viaduct to be opened, having “entertained doubts as to the ultimate security” of the bridge. After much argument, Fowler, supported by the Engineering profession, won the day, and the first train passed over in April 1850.
The bridge was twice strengthened - in 1877 & 1897, because increasing traffic and train loads. A conventional steel lattice girder (again, seen in this photograph) was inserted centrally into both main spans in the 1897 works, whilst the northern girders were moved out to maintain track clearances.
The "Leverton Branch", as this line (which ran between Sykes Junction near Lincoln and Clarborough, just West of Gainsborough), was known, was closed on November 3rd 1959, with Lincoln-Sheffield trains taking the only slightly less direct route through Gainsborough Lea Road. However, the line to the West of the Trent was reinstated in 1969 to serve the new power station at Cottam's need for coal, whilst on the Lincolnshire side, the line was run from Sykes Junction to the Shell petrol depot at Torksey. Only the viaduct itself remained closed.
The Oil traffic ceased in the late 1980s, and the track is now all lifted (and the road bridge on the Gainsborough-Lincoln road was removed).
Until the early 1990s it was possible the walk across the viaduct - this was no longer possible by the 1990s as the track bed had been removed on the bridge itself, and that part was fenced off. Happily, this was resolved during the las 12 months. The cycling and footpath charity Sustrans have installed the required safety fencing and reinstated the bridge bed on the North side. There is now a fine footpath over the impressive bridge to the riverbank on the Western (Nottinghamshire) side of the river. This shot shows the (still without a track bed) South side of the bridge.
The viaduct is rightly covered by a Grade II* listing but worryingly, also features on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.

This Coastal Brown Bear in Katmai National Park gave a menacing look to another bear nearby as if to warn it not to even think about trying to get the salmon he was enjoying.
In a rare daylight move train CP 930 charges south through Westport, NY approaching mp 129.9. Trains are again beginning to move down the D&H after the blockades protesting the pipeline in British Columbia that have pretty much paralyzed rail service throughout eastern Canada are are starting to be removed.
After turtle eggs are hatched in the Turtle captivation center, the babies are freed to their habitat, the ocean..... It is said only 5% of the babies can survive till adults and they will be back to the same beach for delivering eggs....what a wonderful chain of life.
@ Ujung Genteng, West Java, Indonesia
I walked to the very back of a bean field and sat on a ridge....it's often more interesting to get off the roads and see how the land is laid out.

Here's my gandson William doing a back flip. He did it a bunch of times so I could capture good angles. This one was one of the best.
AAW: Shots From the Back
Shot this in my car on my way to Miami. I know I'm not supposed to do that, especially with the sun so bright. But it was quick.
The out of use back platform at Blayney Railway Station. The back platform served the currently out of service Cowra line. The station was restored in 2019 and still serves trains on the main Western line. While the station opened in 1876 the main part of the building was built in 1889. Other buildings were added up to 1902. The whole complex is heritage listed. An art display currently use part of this building.

There's something on the ground that attracts deer to this one particular spot in the back yard. I don't know what it is that keeps them returning to check it out.
Back to school time in Utah. Here are Jessica and Joshua on the morning of the first day. They look reasonably happy to embark. Both were enthusiastic about their new shoes.
