Alternate Title: This House is for the Birds!
If you have ever seen Alfred Hitchcock’s movie ‘The Birds,’ you may be curious as to the location of the training facility for the crows used in the film. Yep! It was this house. You can see there is an outdoor facility for Purple Martins. This helped to attract the crows, as did all the vegetation which fooled them into thinking it was a big tree.
The crows were trained inside the house until they could be trusted not to fly away. Little balls of white Wonder Bread were used as treats. The crows loved them and the wet ball of heavy dough in their stomachs slowed them down.
There were many mishaps during the training of the crows. Several of the trainers got broken bones from slipping on crow poop. There were quite a few eggs laid as well. No crows were hurt in the training process, however.
After the crows were shipped to the movie set, this facility had to be closed. Apparently, the foot of crow poop on the floor could never be totally scraped off. Also, neighbors complained that, even over 50 years later, there was a considerable stench coming from the house.
Things are changing in Lakeland. Barns needing roof repairs, intake walls disintegrating, field walls slowly disappearing, tree growth going unchecked and forests springing up over night.
The accepted wisdom seams to be that sheep create an unnatural desert and that diversity is the name of the game, let streams flow naturally and encourage the natural tree coverage to progress. The beloved "natural" landscape of the Lake District that found favour a generation ago is now anathema.
Three nights on and Comet C/2024 G3 (Atlas) appears to have disintegrated a bit, as the nucleus is less intensely bright. The upside is that the tail is longer.
In this view from Sinclair Head, Wellington, G3 is setting towards Mount Tapuae-o-Uenuku in the Inland Kaikōura Range, one of northern South Island's iconic mountains.
There was not a lot of light by this time and some short trails are noticeable due to the long exposure and long focal length.

A bifurcated iceberg off the south coast of Devon Island looks like it will soon split into two. An iceberg this size likely came from the large glaciers originating in the Greenland icesheet and transported north in the West Greenland current. Lancaster Sound, Nunavut, Northwest Passage.

I came across two sheets of plywood which had been washed up by the tide, as I walked along the strand line on Saturday. They looked as though they might have been hatch covers, maybe. They were beginning to disintegrate and had rusty nails dotted around and bits of lichens growing on them here and there. There were some great textures and colours. These are a few macro shots I took of details.
Left alone to disintegrate on a windblown, misty beach in Peloponnese, the shipwreck of Dimitrios proved to be every bit as enchanting as in my dreams. Haunting and haunted, broken but not yet dead, it still stands upright, a ghostly mirage condemned to travel forever through misty mornings, fiery sunsets and sunrises, through rain and thunderstorms, gloomy skies and starry nights, through time but never through space, never leaving the place that's been eating it away for almost 30 years now.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the cross. I think it carries more weight as a symbol than any other. It signifies sacrifice, the door, the path to God....truth, love, peace, eternal life. More than at any other time in 2000 years, it is rebuked and rebuffed. Yet all around us we see events described in sacred books and by esteemed prophets. Now is the time to return to the cross and seek the Creator. " For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

MM- The Cure -
Now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
I'll Pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye through the eye
Of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to
heaven than ever feel whole again
