An enormous pile of house sized boulders near the western entrance to the Cochise Stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains is known as Council Rocks. It is thought that Cochise surrendered near these rocks in 1872 in exchange for a reservation for his people.
These rocks show evidence of being used as shelter for people for many hundreds of years. The pictographs seen here are thought to have been painted by the Mogollon people over a thousand years ago. There are also many metates in the rocks in the area which were used to grind corn, nuts and seeds. If you zoom in, you can see some of them at the base of this boulder.
“The vampire groups in this corridor are hopelessly splintered and very likely decimated by the battle at Braila. The humans are in complete chaos, hiding in villages and being picked up by abandoned night creatures loose in the field… We enclose this corridor with all the humans in it.”
CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 are working together to muscle a 98 car U704 up the grade through the rolling landscape of Northwestern Illinois on a clear and calm Saturday morning. The ethanol loads are rolling through the "western edge" of the relatively off-the-beaten-path spot of Council Hill Station, Illinois nestled in the valley of the East Fork of the Galena River. The 1850s-era Council Hill Station general store still exists just a little out of frame to the right of this spot, which also served as the depot for the small community of Council Hill located about 2 miles to the north on the top of the ridge but at an elevation that no doubt wasn't possible for the railroad to reach when it was first surveyed through the area.
The whole climb of the former Illinois Central through this part of Jo Daviess County is full of character in it's twists and turns, clinging to the edge of the river valley as it finds it's way from the Mississippi River level to the top of the hill that is not far from near the highest elevation in Illinois at Scales Mound. It's a character I've always found hard to capture well from a ground-level view, but the drone starts to open up some possibilities of at least sort of conveying the feel and the beauty of this area.
In early September UP's Marketing Team ran a business train on the IAIS in the interest to run grain trains on the west end of the IAIS. The train dubbed that weekend as "The CyHawk Express" also ran UP and IAIS officials plus invited guests to the annual CyHawk Showdown between Iowa State and Iowa at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. UP 4533 and 4404 bring the OCS east out of Council Bluffs headed for South Amana Yard with IAIS officials and UPs marketing team on board.

Turnul Sfatului, also known as the Council Tower, is a historic tower in Sibiu, Romania. Built in the 13th century, it served as a fortification and watchtower. Now a tourist attraction, it offers panoramic views of the city.

A gleaming blue, 7-metre-tall astronaut has been unveiled in Perth's CBD, taking pride of place outside Council House.
Designed by US artist Brendan Murphy, the sculpture called Boonji Spaceman was a donation by the artist but City of Perth took on costs of transportation and installation, believed to be between $150,000–$250,000.
The acquisition was championed by former Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas who stepped down from the council in March after being elected to state parliament.
Mr Zempilas has long championed branding Perth as the City of Light — as it was dubbed by astronaut John Glenn in 1962 when the people of Perth turned on their lights to acknowledge his mission to become the first American to orbit the earth.
It was that story and meeting Mr Zempilas that persuaded Murphy to donate one of his spacemen to Perth after the pair were introduced by gallery owner Paul Gullotti.
Legend tells of a temple that lies hidden deep within the jungle. Many have ventured to find it, seeking wisdom from the frog council, but few have ever returned.
Hi everyone! Here is a little frog build to brighten your day! I probably put almost as much work into the edit as I did actually building this, and I'm super happy with how it turned out!
Iconic building along 101 freeway, downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), California. Heavy traffic is an opportunity sometimes!
In most parts of the Highlands there is a very great demand for Council houses, but very few become available for relet each year. This means that, although there are thousands of households on our waiting lists (currently over 9,000) only a small number can be housed each year. There is a much greater demand for accommodation than we are able to meet and it will not be possible to house everyone who applies. Our first priority is to give houses to people in the most housing need - to families with children or to other people who may be vulnerable in some way, because of age or health, who are homeless or who live in insecure, overcrowded or substandard accommodation.

In this way, some Norwegian architects believe that an important building in an urban environment known for its beauty should look like. I think there are slightly different opinions about it...

My entry to the Castle Collaboration category of the Summer Joust 2017. I built this in June, and it was originally posted by Micah because I ran out of time and had to leave on a choir tour. Micah also gets the credit for the edit, which is better than anything I could have managed. The other members of team Juggler were Hacim Bricks, Michael the Juggler and Reese EH.
The build is supposed to represent a council room carved out of a giant tree stump. Due to me running out of time, the intended bark wall turned into more of a bark border, and half of the floor is just sections of loose brick. I figured it was still worth posting though.
Sometimes when you go out on a shoot of an evening, strange things catch your eye and you end up coming home with something completely unexpected. You head down to a treasured spot as sunset approaches to take photographs of a calm summer sea and end up being distracted by a small gathering on the nearby clifftop.
I'll admit this is one of the more unusual images I've shared with you. For me it's also one of the bravest. I'm always impressed at photographers who have the confidence to stand in the middle of busy thoroughfares and point their cameras into the faces of strangers. Even with 100 yards, a sizeable ocean drop in between us and my car stationed within five seconds of brisk running I don't feel entirely comfortable at tracing a 200mm lens on them. I'm generally much more comfortable dangling over a vertical cliff edge, safe in the knowledge that the subject of my photo isn't likely to stride towards me with a menacing stance and a challenging expression in their eyes.
But there was something appealing in the story of three young people sitting on top of a lonely cliff at Portreath on a peaceful evening, just chatting away about whatever was on their minds that grabbed my attention and I decided it was an opportunity not to be missed. I was able to conceal myself behind a wall as I set my tripod up and made ready to grab a hasty shot. I know this makes me sound even weirder than I already did. In the event two hasty shots were needed, as first the figure on the right leaned forward, and then the figure on the left did the same. "Even I can work out how to blend two images like that in Photoshop," I reasoned. Lastly, a darkening of shadows to turn the subjects into silhouette, and there you have it. A happy little council on a clifftop enjoying each other's company as the dusk settles in around them.
Happy Wednesday folks.
To decide the future of the one ring Elrond calls together a council of elves, men, dwarfs and Hobbits. A fellowship of nine including Frodo the ring bearer is sent out to destroy the ring in Mordor. You have my sword, my bow and my axe. And my bricks!

This was my first attempt at brutalism architecture, I am satisfied with the result, but the next one will not be in minifig scale. I do not have that many LBG parts :). And I am missing symbolism in all of this.
Went down to the river today....such a beautiful winter day!!!! We met this man who showed a pic of an owl that he just took here today...it was only about the size of your fist he said. We tried tracking it but couldn't find! :( Oh well...still a great day to be alive! lol Have a wonderful weekend all! :)
I love the foggy weather so much...I spend a lot of time walking around down here enjoying it too! The water is quite high...we've had a lot of moisture this past month and I think that's why....normally this time of year what little bit of water is out there is frozen and you can walk on it and go to the other side....but not yet!! Have a nice evening everyone...:)
