It's really an unseasonably warm late Winter with temperatures up to 18 C. Quite amazing. And that weather brought out lots of insects.
Here's a Marmalade Hoverfly; if you look at its wings, for example, you will see they are entirely in mint condition. Nu sight of wear yet. Amazingly beautiful; and she's happily collecting pollen on Crocus.
The Sylphes travel with the moon to change the seasons, they hear the sad melody of a nymph. By simply touching earth, they lose their ethereal condition, and the moon abandons them. The magic of the four seasons will be the substance to achieve that healing balance.
A unique experience that captivates from start to the end. This is how the show was experienced by more than 100,000 spectators who celebrated the New Year 2020 at the open-air Circus Maximus in Rome. The international press catalogues the show as splendid, sublime, magical, captivating, fascinating and magnetic. There is no better adjective than contemplating the faces of the audiences during the performance.

Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)
(Double click)
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

Apparently there was too much trash on this property for the Junk Yard Dog. He ran off after seeing the squalor he would be forced to live in. This house is abandoned even though it’s condition doesn’t look too bad from the outside. There is the obligatory refrigerator on the porch. It still needs a sofa on the porch before it can be declared a Class A Historic Junk Yard Landmark. You will note that there are several trailers, a tractor, two boats and a camper. More than enough to label it as a Class B Landmark.
This is the last property off this rural road. This dirt driveway is private property, so I’d like to know where the power lines are going. HTT
Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

You all have a happy weekend and as usual thank you for taking the time to stop by.
With the final fall colors in the area hanging onto for a few more days, the E&LS (Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad) is swapps a cut of cars from Kimberly-Clark in Marinette.
After swapping cars in Marinette, they will shove back over the river into Menominee.
This gives you a good idea about the condition of rails and ties representing the line used to run west all the way to Crivitz, but has mostly only used for storage cars as grass has taken over most of it.

Machu Picchu 20221127
Machu Picchu not only offers the visitor the view of the temples and stone houses that are on its cusp, but also gives a look of its terraces and irrigation systems, which give a unique personality to the Incan citadel and its surroundings.
The Functions of the Platforms
These constructions are wide steps built on the mountains’s slopes that allowed the Incas to gain land in order to develop agriculture adapted to the landscape.
Without a doubt, creating great steps meant a great effort, but without these, the constant rains, the humidity of the environment and the steepness of the area would have triggered large landslides that would have destroyed the ruins of Machu Picchu.
This terrace system fulfills three main functions:
Containment: These constructions prevented the land’s erosion from creating landslides when carrying out the construction of cities, houses and temples.
Agriculture: Through the construction of these platforms, the Incas expanded the amount of land used for agricultural activity. These terraces allowed to take advantage of the rainwater as a source of crop irrigation directly from channels that connected each of the levels. Nowadays, crops are not cultivated anymore to maintain their integrity, due to the condition of World Heritage of Machu Picchu.
Ceremonial centers: these finer and more extensive construction platforms were intended to decorate ceremonial and/or administrative centers.
The theater in Epidauros is an ancient building that was built around 330 BC. The audience has over 14 thousand spectators. The theater is characterized by excellent acoustics, so that the whisper or rustle on the stage was heard even in the outermost row. The audience of the theater survived in good condition, mainly because it was covered with earth until the 19th century. Dramas from ancient Greek dramatists, including Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus, are still on display here.

Teatr w Epidauros to starożytna budowla powstała około 330 r. p.n.e. Widownia mieści ponad 14 tysięcy widzów. Teatr cechuje się doskonałą akustyką, wskutek czego szept czy szelest na scenie słychać było nawet w najbardziej oddalonym rzędzie. Widownia teatru zachowała się w dobrym stanie, głównie dlatego, że aż do XIX w. była ona przykryta warstwą ziemi. Nadal są tu wystawiane dramaty starożytnych greckich dramaturgów, w tym Sofoklesa, Eurypidesa, Ajschylosa.

With the air conditioning on full blast on this sweltering June, 2002 afternoon, a former Conrail C39-8 leads NS 19K through Claypool, IN, on the Marion Branch. This scene looks quite different today, with the grain elevator gone, several less-used crossings removed, and a new connection track between the former NKP and the Marion Branch where the elevator once stood.

Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Williamstown is a town in Berkshire County, in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. It shares a border with Vermont to the north and New York to the west. It is part of the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 8,424 at the 2000 census. A college town, it is home to Williams College, the Clark Art Institute and the Tony-awarded Williamstown Theatre Festival, which runs every July and August.
Originally called West Hoosac, the area was first settled in 1749. Fort West Hoosac, a blockhouse and stockade, was built in 1756. The town was incorporated in 1765 as Williamstown after Ephraim Williams, who was killed in the French and Indian War. He bequeathed a significant sum to the town on the condition that it were named after him and started a free school. In 1791, the school opened, becoming Williams College in 1793.
Another contemporary photo made to look old using the Tintype app. Backing off on the plate grain control gives the photos more of a turn of the century look (maxing out the plate grain gives a sort of mid 19th century look). Additional effects such as sepia tone and water staining are done in Photoshop. To really sell this, all traces modern living such as air conditioners, power lines, electric lighting, etc have to be edited out.
Portable Air Conditioning what ever works theory, old building with out any AC found in a small town in North Carolina.
With new building insulation all bird nests were destroyed. Sparrows used old swallow nests but now they've found a new possibility.
