This Downy Woodpecker (f) was busy excavating a hole the tree along side a busy walking path and didn't seem to mind the attention from passersby.

This Downy Woodpecker was hammering away with it's pointed bill, making a hole in this tree. A closer look at the head shows the eye covered by the nictitating membrane. The translucent nictitating membrane helps to moisten the eye as well as offer protection.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles west of central Edinburgh. Completed in 1890, it is considered a symbol of Scotland. It was designed by English engineers
Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker
Construction started: 1882 Opened: 4 March 1890
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Fife
Total length: 2,467 m
Bridge type: Cantilever bridge
Longest span: 521 m
At the peak of work, about 4,600 men were employed in building the Forth Bridge. It said that 73 died during the building of the bridge,
The final rivet was hammered in by the then Prince of Wales standing on the bridge itself, in what must have been the safest working conditions anyone involved could have faced. It isn’t known if he was aware of the deaths of the men and boys doing that job, May the all Rest in Peace Amen

Le quotidien d'un chantier, c'est parfois aussi simple que ça...
Pourtant, derrière l'apparente simplicité de ce remplissage se cache la complexité du métier.
Un peu comme la photo, tout compte fait.
Not really sure what these guys are doing here. Looks like they are either putting in some framing for small windows, or they are taking a break. I just thought it was a cool pic.
