The name brains here tell me this variety of camellia japonica is called "Jamie." Looks like a Christmas Rose to me. Have a good week ahead.
Costa Rica, July 2013
In December I will going to Panama. I plan on doing lots of birding and photography- it will be a great trip! Hopefully I'll get to see some awesome tropical species like this Collared Aracari from a few years ago.
It's not even December and I'm not in to the season yet, but I have so many kitten pics that I can post during this time of the year :D
in the same way you might mentally play a song on repeat, i've had ammo magazine's twitter avatar stuck in my head.
The beach really caught my eye with the strong lines caused by a digger I guess. We did a great Coastwalk for here to Exmouth in the far distance which I can thoroughly recommend. There was one good day of weather but then it all went down hill rapidly.

Aloysius Galvanus; 9 September 1737 - 4 December 1798) he was an Italian physician, physicist, biologist and philosopher, who discovered animal electricity He is recognized as the pioneer of bioelectromagnetics. In 1780, he discovered that the muscles of the legs of dead frogs contracted when they were hit by an electric spark. This was one of the first forays into the study of bioelectricity, a field that still studies electrical models and signals from tissues such as nerves and muscles.

After a fall of December snow, this small copse of trees looks wonderful as the low winter sun shines through the branches.
I took this photo in December 1966. Not having a tripod I rested the camera - a Zeiss Werra - against one of the columns supporting the station roof - it almost worked, with just a little bit of shake blurring visible (I think the exposure was about ten seconds). From a battered old print which I still have, though sadly I no longer have the negative. 019_6612.jpg. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of the state of Idaho. Although Lewiston, Idaho, briefly served as Idaho's capital from the formation of Idaho Territory in 1863, the territorial Legislature moved the capital to Boise on December 24, 1864.
Construction of the first portion of the capitol building began in the summer of 1905, 15 years after Idaho gained statehood. Architects were John E. Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel. Tourtellotte was a Connecticut native whose career began in Massachusetts and skyrocketed further when he moved to Boise. Hummel was a German immigrant who partnered with Tourtellotte in 1903. The final cost of the building was just over $2 million; it was completed in 1920. The architects used varied materials to construct the building and their design was inspired by Classical examples.
Tourtellotte and Hummel used four types of marble: red marble from Georgia, gray marble from Alaska, green marble from Vermont, and black marble from Italy. Architectural inspirations included St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, St Paul's Cathedral in London and the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The most prominent feature of the capitol is its dome. Surmounting this dome is a bronze eagle, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall. The capitol building is 208 feet (63 m) high, occupies an area of 201,720 square feet (18,740 m2), and contains over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of artistically carved marble.
There are 219 pillars in the original building – Doric, Corinthian, or Ionic – and each pillar is made up of marble dust, plaster and scagliola. Scagliola is a mixture of granite, marble dust, gypsum and glue dyed to look like marble. This artificial marble was created by a family of artisans in Italy.
On the first floor of the capitol building, when looking upward to the dome, 13 large stars and 43 smaller stars can be seen. The 13 large stars represent the thirteen original colonies and the 43 smaller stars indicate that Idaho was the forty-third state to enter the union. The floor contains a compass rose. In its center is a sundial that has minerals found in Idaho. The first floor also houses a statue called the Patriot by Kenneth Lonn, for those who worked in the mining industry.
The second floor may be accessed via three entrances; from the east, the south and the west. The lieutenant governor’s office is located in the west wing, just opposite the governor’s office. On the north side of the second floor rotunda is a sculpture of George Washington astride a horse. And to the rear of the George Washington statue is the attorney general’s suite of offices. The space was home of the Idaho Supreme Court until it moved to the new Supreme Court Building in 1970. The east wing houses the office of the secretary of state offices in whose reception area is the official copy of the Great Seal of the State of Idaho.
The third floor contains the Senate in the west wing and the House of Representatives in the east wing. The two chambers were remodeled in 1968. Also on this floor is the old Idaho Supreme Court room, now used for hearings and committee meetings of the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee. On the fourth floor are balcony entrances to the senate and house galleries. The galleries enable members of the public to watch the Legislature while it is in session. The northeast, northwest and southwest corners of this floor contain many historic paintings as well as three murals by Dana Boussard.

The famous work of the architect Massimiliano Fuksas and his studio is the New Convention Centre, also called the Nuvola, located in the EUR area in Rome. It is 55,000 square metres large and can accommodate up to 1,800 people in its auditorium. In 2012 it was awarded the Best Building Site prize by the Royal Institute of British Architects. These days it is at the centre of the international media because it will host the G20 in its halls.

Door het overnemen van de treinconcessie Zutphen - Oldenzaal door Arriva per 10 december 2023, is dit werkpakket voor Keolis beëindigd. Aanvankelijk lag het in de bedoeling dat de Keolis Lint 41/H stellen allemaal over zouden gaan naar de nieuwe concessie. Arriva beschikte echter over voldoende materieel om deze treindienst erbij te exploiteren, waardoor er voor de Keolis Linten geen werk meer was. De motorwagens werden aanvankelijk op het opstelterrein in Zwolle geparkeerd. Vanwege verkoop van de motorwagens aan een Roemeense vervoerder, moesten de Linten naar Utrecht, waar de ATB-installaties werden uitgebouwd.
Op 17 januari 2024 bracht Train Charter Services de Linten in drie transporten daarom over vanuit Zwolle naar Utrecht Cartesiusweg. Het eerste transport bestond uit de TCS 101001, de Keolis Linten 41, 45 en 42 en de TCS 101002 en 111001. Op de foto rijdt de trein, onder nummer 33260, over de Intercitysporen langs Utrecht Overvecht en zal even later op Utrecht Centraal worden kopgemaakt, om daarna de laatste etappe naar Utrecht Cartesiusweg af te kunnen leggen.

This photo was taken ten years after my last visit to Snow Hill & shows a transition period for the railway at SH.
Although a new station had opened serving destinations to the south of Birmingham only a few months earlier in October 1987, the line northwards was still derelict. The reinstatement of the line to Kidderminster had just been announced and was completed in 1995 but the Midland Metro tram line 1 to Wolverhampton didn't open until 1999.
Livery Street runs along the left hand side of the railway rising up to cross the former Great Western Railway main line to Wolverhampton on the bridge in the distance. Great Charles Street passes under the line in the foreground.
