Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.

I feel the thin mood of what's about to happen. Spring starts out in the open, then slowly winds its way into the forest. Everywhere past the treeline is a little bit behind, still some scattered snow where the pines crowd close, and everything down on the bottom wants warmth and light. Soon, there'll be ladyslippers blooming, bugs buzzing along the swamps and puddles that only dry in the drought of midsummer. These roads explain exactly what keeps me going, a little question of the curve I'm trying to answer. If I don't know what's around the bend, the pull of finding out will push me that one kilometer further. If my knees are aching, or my mood is dark, there's no better cure than connecting two somewheres by a beautiful middle of nowhere. If I'm all caught up in the twisting and turning, I never feel my muscles burning. There's a high to hiking history, out of the muddy lowlands with all my worries intact. All that changes is my mind.

Great Falls is a natural set of waterfalls on the Potomac River. This photograph was taken from the Virginia side of the falls, facing Maryland. The falls are accessible from Virginia via Great Falls Park, part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, administered by the National Park Service.
The falls are part of a greater geological phenomenon known as the "fall line," which divides the Appalachian piedmont from the Atlantic coastal plain. The fall line runs south from New York, closely paralleling Interstate 95, for hundreds of miles. Where the line crosses a river, there are invariably waterfalls present, as a result of the abrupt change in rock composition and elevation. An example of another such waterfall is Great Falls on the Passaic River in Paterson, New Jersey.
It is not a coincidence that Interstate 95 runs along the fall line. A number of the major cities that the highway connects have developed along the line, as the line typically marks the point beyond which the rivers are no longer navigable from the Ocean. Cities that developed along the fall line include Trenton (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Washington (DC), Fredericksburg (VA), Richmond (VA), Petersburg (VA), Roanoke Rapids (NC), Raleigh (NC), Fayetteville (NC), Columbia (SC), Augusta (GA), Macon (GA), Columbus (GA), Montgomery (AL) and Tuscaloosa (AL).

Silver and gold, 8th-6th century B.C.E.
H. 27.5 cm.
The hero holds a sword in his right hand and grasps the left wing of the bull with his left hand, with his left foot pressing against the left rump of the bull, while his right foot is firmly planted into the ground. The rather short back side of his coat has long tufts around the hem of the tail. The coat is buttoned in front and hangs down to the knee in back. Decorative bands of design a chain of small squares with circles inside encircle the cuff, collar, chest, waist, and hem of the coat. Similar types of clothing and decoration are also found in Eastern Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Western Iran in the beginning of the 1st millennium B.C. The man's face, or more precisely, his mouth and portions above it, is covered with gold. That the eye-sockets are disproportionately large for the size of the man's face suggests that some type of inlay work was present originally, judging from grooves incised along the eyebrows arcing over the eye-sockets. The long depression on the face from the temple to below the nose and reaching the chin also raises a possibility that it was once covered with a beard made of another material. The man's face resonates with those found on ivory carvings excavated in Hasanlu.–1 A hole at the top of the head and a wide channel cut from above the man's forehead to the back of the head probably signify that other materials were fitted in those areas for a head ornament and hair. The frame-like element on the forehead is separated in the center and appears to curve up, suggesting that bull's horns were attached to the crown the man wore.
The winged bull has a human face, fashioned similarly to the man's, including the beard. The horns on the bull's head are those of the caprid. The wings are composed of three layers of sword-shaped feathers with herringbone pattern. Around a circular hole in the chest, there appears a trace suggesting something once attached. The tufts on the forehead, covering the temple, tucking behind the ears, and allowing them to hang down from the sides, then curing ends behind are almost common feature of griffins, also winged or unwinged half-human, half-animal supernatural beasts of eastern Mediterranean area, Eastern Anatolia, and Northern and Western Iran. Designs involving the winged caprid are quite common in the Iranian highlands: the winged and human-faced divine animal with caprid's horns can be found in metal works of Luristan in Western Iran during 10th to 9th centuries B.C., and later, human-faced winged bull with caprid's horns can be found in Achaemenid art.–2
The contest scene of a hero a sword in his right hand, holding onto an animal or a supernatural beast from behind and with the left foot pressing down on the animal's body resemble those found on cylinder seals of Babylonia in the early 1st millennium B.C.–3 The existence of an active trade route connecting Kassite-Babylonia, Assyria, Hasanlu in Western Iran and Marlik of Northern Iran has been speculated, which corroborates clear similarities in art and craft designs in these areas.–4 Incorporating the appropriate Western Iranian imagery of the day, the aforementioned contest scene from Babylonia quite possibly provided a theme to the present work.
The two figures in this piece are connected at the left foot of the hero. A variety of evidence, including the hole in the hero's head and the hole in the chest of the winged bull, point to a possible use of this work as a vessel.

Nearly four miles northeast of Washington Pass lies a massive peak with a vengeance. Silver Star Mountain, connected by the Vasiliki Ridge and Wine Spires, and separated by a 300 foot deep col, has two summits: the eastern and western. The former [of the two summits] rises at 8,876 feet and the latter rises at slightly over 8,840 feet. At the mountain's west peak's northern ridge is where the marvelous Wine Spires are found. Running south, the Vasiliki Ridge runs from about 7,600 feet to a little over 8,000 feet above sea-level!!

Sitting on the Iowa Southern Connector at Albia was BNSF 512 looking very fresh. Once on hot shot Santa Fe pig trains, it will be given new life as a remote control unit in some yard on the BNSF system.
Eight years ago a group started in Milton with the goal to provide a space for those in Milton who were single or couples without kids and it grew friendships. And the group had a huge impact on my life and the lives of others over the course of its life. But now with things changing it came time to dissolve the formal aspects of the group with one final BBQ where it all started in Dempsey Park.

I know, it could be better, especially the ghosting around the fine lines. I have to use more time for retouching.
But it'll be okay in the future .
There are multiple ways to do everything with this camera. I took this with my phone as a remote. Connecting to the camera is slightly unreliable, but cool. Doing a day in photos today in an attempt to really learn this camera. Just finished some sweaty yoga.
