With a name like that, how could I not take the pic? Extra points for the illuminated cross.

Griffon Vulture adult flight_w_ (Gyps fulvus)-6538
Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies in cliffs that are undisturbed by humans while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these cliffs is high. These huge birds grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.
In many cultures around the world, particularly in Western societies, vultures are viewed with disdain. Commonly, people tend to look down on these birds as dirty, ugly, and unhygienic, failing to recognise their importance. People of other cultures, however, hold the vulture in high regard. This is true with the inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau, where vultures are part of traditional funerary customs. In this culture, people are not buried after death as a means of controlling preventable infectious diseases. Instead, the dead are laid to rest in the sky. Monks prepare the bodies of the deceased and set them on platforms to draw the attention of nearby vultures. The vultures discover these human bodies, ingesting them and carrying them off into the sky. Many people view this as one final good deed as the deceased is able to offer something to another living creature before going off to rest in the sky. This practice is not unique to Tibet, however. Historical evidence suggests it has been practiced by cultures around the world for over 11,000 years.
The maximum recorded lifespan of the griffon vulture is 41.4 years for an individual in captivity

Close to maximum solar eclipse coverage in Livingston Manor, NY before clouds rolled in. At this point during the eclipse the ambient light dimmed as if it were twilight. The clouds made the environment even darker.

This was this height of the coverage yesterday during the solar eclipse from where I was viewing. I used an inexpensive white-light filter. I started shooting shortly after it started until the maximum coverage. There were several sun spots visible but most are covered by the moon at this point. A few are visible on the far left side if you zoom.
It was incredible to feel the difference in warmth from when it started to when the sun was blocked like this. It went from a sweltering day (by Canadian standards) to being quite comfortable when partially covered.
Thanks for viewing!
With snow coverage being extremely poor during the 2022-2023 winter season, this location was just a handful of places which had some of the white stuff in Austria.
Anyway, running on-time in dull conditions, here we see privately owned locomotives 111057 (front) and 111223 (rear) pass through Windau with the 14:40 Snälltåget ski train from Malmo to Innsbruck on the bitterly cold afternoon of the 11/2/23. The train had travelled overnight from Malmo via Germany and Austria to reach this location.
I strangely have very little coverage along the 15 mile stretch of CSXT's ex Boston and Albany main between Palmer and Springfield, so finally decided to try out a few new (for me) spots on this gray Friday.
CSXT West Springfield based local L038 is a Mon-Fri local on duty at 1030 that handles work on the mainline as well as the Athol Industrial Track and other chores in the Springfield area. I'd never made the effort to photograph it before despite spending time hunting down nearly every other local freight job CSXT operates in New England. After running east with a healthy train, they dropped their cars on Main 1 and then made a 'big runaround' west via Main 2 between CP 92 and CP96 on the Berkshire Sub. Having pulled and spotted the Sulco Warehouse to the east they have now moved west on Main 1 and dropped their train and cut away to head into the other Sulco Warehouse just east of the Roosevelt Ave. overpass at about MP 95.1 from where this was captured.
The pair of 6200 series GP40-2s of Chessie System heritage are the standard power on all New England locals these days, but in my youth these jobs that prowled industries, yards, and branchlines were exclusively the domain of Conrail blue B23-7s.

in 1966, at independence, botswana was the second poorest country in the world. perhaps that is why it was not fought over by the colonial powers. since independence, the discovery of diamonds changed the economics of the country. the government actually used diamond revenues to invest in health and education. every citizen has health care coverage, private insurances compete with the national service.
tomorrow, june 25, a major rally will be held in washington dc, by the national physician's alliance (a group that emerged out of a student organization so that physicians for whom patient advocacy was a core value, could have a voice). the us struggles to provide health coverage to all. the american medical association has once again shown its venal nature by opposing any national health plan as an option on the table.
The coverage of 16mm can include your toes and maybe shows too much of some subjects. Here Toe Free is a mainly quiet just off the roadside evening scene. Without added LED illumination from a none photographic light there would be less to see, less contrast, less colour and less shadow realm within the hedgerow, the mainly quiet just off the roadside almost hedgerow.
These flowers are blooming on track off the roadside. They are a part of an ad hoc hedgerow. They have sprung up where they stand. It is fortunate that they have had a chance to rise and to fulfil nature that adapts and adopts wherever it can taking every opportunity and each chance to enhance the world that we share for the better for all of us.
