Coffee farms in São Paulo of the middle of the last century needed a large workforce for their production. Planting, cultural practices, harvesting, grain drying, processing, bagging and storage demanded continuous work throughout the year.
The chapels were part of the "equipment" of the farms that provided the workers who lived on the farm with a social activity mainly on Sundays. A chaplain officiated mass, christenings and even weddings as well as providing votive parties and more activities around the chapel.

I apologise if I do not get around to commenting on everyone. The internet is terrible where we are camping.
Four continuous miles of Heber Valley Railroad's route through Provo Canyon runs literally along the bank of the Provo River. Maine Central 52 pulls Friday's train into Vivian Park, illuminated by a brief patch of sun between the trees. The train paused here for half an hour. Passengers were invited to step off the train and enjoy the fresh canyon air while the crew ran the GP9 to the north end of the train. At 12:45 p.m. sharp, the 'Provo Canyon Limited' departed for the 16 mile journey back to Heber City.
A "Work Galt" Continuous Welded Rail train ducks underneath the wooden farmer's bridge outside Milton ON. In the lead is iconic SD40-2F CP 9017, nicknamed "red barn" for the red paint on their cowl body. It's always a fun time when one of the final 8 SD40-2Fs makes it out east. For 9017, it's the first time out here since 2020 and the first time it's led around Toronto since before it was sold to the CMQ railway in the 2010s.
A continuously welded rail train, powered by three NJ Transit GP40s, crosses the Passaic River on the border of Paterson/Hawthorne after dropping rail a few miles east of the pictured location.

Higher and higher we climbed, towards snow and clouds. It doesn't seem steep, but it was a continuous ascent, making me go slow and my 'sherpa' bravely ahead.
On the right of my photo, almost out of sight, you can see the Oberzalimhütte, the mountain hut I was hoping to reach.
Thanks for your visit and have a wonderful week my friends!

Turda salt mine, Transylvania, Romania
Salt was first extracted here during the antiquity and the mine continuously produced table salt from the Middle Ages, the mine being first mentioned in 1075, to the early–20th century (1932).
Since 1992, Salina Turda has been a halotherapy center and a popular tourist attraction. In 2008, the salt mine was modernized and improved under an EU program and reopened to tourism in January 2010.
The part photographed here is the Terezia mine, a conical mine (bell mine). Salt mining in this type of room left behind underground halls of impressive dimensions: 90 metres (300 ft) height and 87 metres (285 ft) diameter. A "cascade of salt", an underground lake, stalactites and salt efflorescences complete the inert equilibrium of the giant bell. The underground lake is between 0.5 and 8 metres (1.6 and 26.2 ft) deep and is extended on about 80 percent of the operating room hearth area. In the center of the lake there is an island formed from residual low-grade salt deposited here after 1880, the year when salt mining ended in this room. This is the view from the island to the entrance/exit of the Terezia room. (Wikipedia)
Below is part of the island and the bridge on the background.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
-William Wordsworth
Crawling up the 1.8-2% continuous grade that is Proctor Hill, CN train R9218113 heads back to Proctor Yard after dumping their train of Taconite Pellets at Dock 6 in Duluth. The power set this day was a duo of SD40T-3 (BLE 900/DMIR 400) leading a CN SD40-2W (5346) still holding its “North American” Paint.
The train is seen here coming out of “Bachelor’s Curve” and rounding the corner at Spirt Mountain just as a sliver of sun appeared from the dense cloud band with some beautiful orange and yellow autumn color surrounding the tracks. We’re not even two months from the date of picture and the new GE AC rebuilds have taken over power duties north of Proctor. It’s a sight for sore eyes and hopefully it doesn’t last long, but 2024 might’ve been the final stronghold for EMDs and fall color on the former Missabe.

Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Cattails sway about madly as extreme winds blow in behind a late autumn cold front. I love experiencing rapid weather changes brought on by storms. There's a feeling of disarray, both in the landscape and sky, as air masses collide. Vast amounts of energy are released in the process, an abundant source of creative motivation just waiting to be tapped.
Out in this open meadow, the gusty wind was whipping everything around me into a continuous blur. Very difficult to focus the eye on any one thing when everything is in motion. Photography truly becomes more of a shoot by feel process rather than one of looking through viewfinder. As is often the case, I'm responding more to how the scene makes me feel rather than how it actually looks.
The cattails delineate an impassable boundary for me. Stems from an irrational fear of snakes. Even as a child, I equated cattails with marshes and wetlands and a high probability of harboring snakes. Even with snakes in hibernation in this freezing cold air, the tangle of overgrowth and the certainty of sinking into mud in the still soft earth was more than enough to deter me. Still I lingered on the verge; the scene almost comically bleak, the sky a dark shade or murder gray.

Station Island, Lough Derg, County Donegal, Ireland
This enormous religious complex of dorms & churches etc is named ‘St Patrick's Purgatory’. Built on an ancient pilgrimage site isolated on this small island on 'Lough Derg’ meaning (Lake of the Cave). For over 1500 years pilgrims have been visiting the Lough Derg shores to find peace & pray for loved ones. Visitors to this monastery starve themselves for 3 days & nights, pray continuously & walk barefoot on sharp rocks amongst the cold & biting midges. This is all part of the pilgrimage here that is said to be one of the toughest to complete in the world!
According to legend this Island site dates from the fifth century, when ‘Jesus Christ’ showed ‘St Patrick’ a cave on Station Island. This cave was supposedly an entrance to ‘Purgatory’ that ‘St Patrick’ had visions in from the otherworld, hence the name “St Patrick's Purgatory”. The cave that started it all has been closed since 1632 and covered over by the Basilica to protect others & welcomes people from all over the world to visit & pray over the gateway for all time.

Chirk Castle, occupied virtually continuously as a castle and stately home for almost 700 years, sits on a hilltop with its best views over the Ceiriog valley to the south. The successor to two known mottes in the area, it was probably built by Roger Mortimer, of the powerful Marcher family, who was granted the area by Edward I after the Welsh defeat in 1282. He was almost certainly given royal assistance in its design and construction, and its similarities to Beaumaris suggest that work may have started as late as 1295, perhaps in response to the Welsh rising of 1294.

"Akumal" means "place of the turtle" in Maya. In addition to the sea turtles which lay their eggs on the beach (in holes which they dig) Akumal Bay is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which is continuous from Cancun on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, south through the Riviera Maya to Honduras. It is the second largest coral reef system in the world.

A view of the Chester Bridge looking to the northwest from the Illinois banks of the Mississippi River. Pusher boats, such as the one seen crossing under the bridge pushing barges, are a common sight along the busy Mississippi River.
The Chester Bridge is a continuous truss bridge connecting Illinois Route 150 with Missouri Route 51 across the Mississippi River between Chester, Illinois and Perryville, Missouri. The bridge opened in 1942 and operated as a toll bridge until 1989. Tragedy struck the bridge on a stormy night in July, 1944 when a windstorm of tornadic force caused two 670-foot spans to collapse into the river. Reconstruction took two years before the bridge was reopened to traffic in 1946. The Chester Bridge is the only bridge spanning the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
The Chester Bridge can be seen in the 1967 film In "The Heat of the Night" starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. At the 1968 Academy Awards, this classic film was nominated for seven Oscars, and won a total of five including Best Picture and Best Actor for Rod Steiger. Principal filming for the film was done in Sparta, Illinois (portrayed as Sparta, Mississippi) in Randolph County a short 20 miles from Chester. The bridge scene comes early in the film when a murder suspect is apprehended running across the bridge.
It is likely the Chester Bridge will be replaced sometime this decade. The current condition of the Chester Bridge is poor, and the Chester Bridge Project is listed as the #2 bridge priority by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MDOT). Looking ahead, MDOT already is accepting proposals for the reuse of the current bridge, which is now eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis is endemic to Arabia, found nowhere else across the globe apart from the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea.
Socotra cormorant is among the most skilled fish-catching birds in Bahrain and Arabian Gulf. It dives more than 10 m chasing fish underwater.
The nesting colony of Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis on Hawar Island, south of Bahrain, is among the largest in the world. As the case with other cormorant species, nesting colonies of Socotra cormorant fluctuate widely in size over time.
Socotra cormorant lays eggs in small depressions in the ground with thousands of dense nests forming sizable breeding colonies. As such, heavy rain and cold winter temperatures often lead to mass mortality of eggs and chicks.
Seagulls are among key predators of Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis on Hawar Islands. Despite continuous protection by parents, gulls succeed to prey on cormorant’s eggs and young chicks.
Macro, detailed imprint on our window. I don’t believe the dove was injured when it collided.
What is left behind is called powder down, which is a dry, talc-like lubricant present at the base of the bird's feathers. Down feathers grow on geese, ducks, swans, herons, pigeons, doves, etc. They help waterproof the feathers and mix with waxy preening oil from glands at the base of the tail.
Down feathers aren't molted. Instead, they grow continuously and crumble over time to become powder down. They have a secondary use for the integrity of the longer feathers!
The South-West side of the Rion – Antirion bridge, aka the Charilaos Trikoupis bridge, Greece.
The bridge was the longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge in the world with its 7,388 ft (2,252 m) continuous and fully suspended deck when constructed (in 1997–2004). The foundations lay on a seabed reaching 213 ft (65 m) of depth and they have a 295 ft (90 m) diameter. During the 7-year long construction no serious accidents were reported, no single drop of blood was shed. The bridge is a landmark of Greece in the 21st century and is named after the late Prime Minister Ch. Trikoupis who spoke in the Parliament about the need for such a bridge in March 1889!

Yesterday I made a trip to the nothern part of the Netherlands, crossing the IJsselmeer by the Afsluitdijk. This sea is frozen bij ice movements due to the continuous eastern wind of the last 2 weeks. In the United Kingdom they called this weather "the beast from the east". The Monument, Afsluitdijk, 2018.

It seems they have never eaten enough for the long journey ahead, they almost continuously feed here.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
