Today's shot takes us to Disney's Animal Kingdom For a shot of Expedition Everest. I've seen this shot done a few times, so I decided to try it myself. It's amazing what you can see from up there. In the distance you have the Disney Studios, Epcot, The Swan and Dolphin and the Contemporary. Have you ever taken any photos from the top of Everest? Have a magical day!
Built in the early years of the Cold War the Conqueror battle tank weighed around 63 tons. It was soon realised that an equally big vehicle would be needed to recover them so as a result 28 of these Rolls Royce Meteor powered Conqueror ARVs were produced.
"and so she will rise from the water
with power laced in her breath
but mercy in her heart that doesn't beat
because she's something from the earth
a creature with no name
and only one general care
the purity of our eyes
and the love in our veins
and how our actions affect
today tomorrow and yesterday
because she's more than present
she's past and future
with all the strength she holds
she's lacking no virtues."

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

This is the main track to Mount Kosciuszko just before it hits Rawsons pass. In summer with Thredbo top chairlift only 6.5kms away it can be packed. In winter in perfect weather we saw 5 other people all day.
I took the day off and we went on a hike in Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, AZ, just east of Phoenix. Such cowboy country. The light was crap in this shot, but I didn't have a lot of choice given the position of the sun and position of the scenery. Not to mention, Jasper was not much in the mood for posing today. He just wanted to get on down the trail.

A Bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) was framed moments before the landing to join its friends on ground. It was not easy at all to capture from such a close in full frame. I had to crawl with my heavy tele in hand for 20 meters in the thorny ground camouflaged like a reptile. I gave my level best effort to get the desired. I reached their resting ground and all of a sudden all actions started as reward. They are the champion of the air indeed. They migrate across the highest peak of the World - Mount Everest. This trans-Himalayan migrant comes from Northern Europe and Mongolia to India in winter. They are really gorgeous and intelligent creatures on Earth. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
Forest Photoshoot with Shula <3 She grew very impatient in the end, but overall, did a good job. Of course she got a lot of treats as reward :D
In downtown Brisbane, there is a series of climbers for kids. These ones seemed to be having a great time!
A gravestone at St Nicholas' Church in Worth.
St Nicholas Church is a Church of England parish church in Worth, a village in Crawley, England which at one time, had the largest geographical parish in England.
St Nicholas’ Church, Worth, is the 4th oldest church in the country and has been a place of Christian worship and devotion for well over 1000 years. It is known that the church is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and parts of it have been dated to between AD 950 and 1050, in particular the chancel arch and apse. It was built in what, at the time, was a forest. The reason for building a church here is unknown, but it is surmised that the area would have had good hunting grounds and royal or noble visitors to the grounds would need a place to pray in comfort. As it was a large church isolated in the forest, it is unlikely it was just for local needs. After the Norman conquest of England in 1066, William the Conqueror gave the church to his son-in-law William de Warenne, whose coat of arms is still visible in the stained glass windows of the church. In the 14th century, the church was passed from the de Warrenne family to the Fitzalan family, who lost it in 1415 to Nevills, Earl of Abergavenny.
Records of bell-ringing here go back to 1684, and bell-ringing still remains part of the weekly routine. The current tower, with its broached and shingled spire, was added in 1871 by Anthony Salvin to replace an earlier building which rested on tree trunks! A note from 1684 reveals that the church had 3 bells but an additional one was then added. The bells were re-cast in 1844 to form a peal of 6 and then again, by Gillett and Johnston of Croydon, in 1928. Since 1928, only routine maintenance was needed until 1997, when major work on the bells was carried out. Pulleys, wheels and clappers were removed and taken to the foundry for refurbishment, they were then refitted and the bells rehung. The bells are still hung in the oak frame dating from the 1844 installation, which sits on the belfry floor 1.5m (5ft) above the ringers’ heads but this was strengthened in 1997. The largest bell, the tenor, is 91cm (3ft) in diameter and weighs 489kg (9cwt 2qrts and 14lbs). Its note is A, the whole ring being harmonically tuned in the key of A. The total weight of bells in the tower is over 36cwt.
Worth Church is still in use as a parish church today, with at least two services each Sunday (usually 8am and 9.45am) and a midweek Eucharist on Wednesdays. Weddings, baptisms and funerals are all popular in this attractive venue. About 150 people are officially on the parish's electoral roll, and up to 400 people attend major services at Christmas and Easter.
The churchyard includes the grave of Robert Whitehead, inventor of the modern torpedo. In a plot bordered with blue railings, his epitaph reads "His fame was known by all nations hereabouts".
G543 reaches the peak of the Great Dividing Range as 9340 from Westall. From here it beings the decent down into Heathcote Junction station, before practically rolling the entire way the Kilmore East Hanson Quarry where it will load.
The previous day, H1 and XR558 were the pairing and I was still hoping to catch said combination.... No dice.
