The elf demands the knight and his party leave now or beware of the affect the forest will inflict. The knight is somewhat amused at the size of this little person and so is defiant in his stance. He has been ordered to set up a lookout site here and believes his queen wishes to build another castle here again in this spot amongst the ruins. Little does he know that she is the forest guardian and has experienced this all before, hence the ruins.....

Wetland Reflections, Dawn. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Dawn clouds reflected in the surface of a wetland pond, Pacific Flyway, New Year’s Day 2022.
The dawn light is remarkably fleeting. The space between “too early” and “too late” can be extremely small, and on a morning like this one I might have only moments to see what is happening in the sky, find a foreground, create a composition, and make some photographs. When the light arrived and a small group of clouds appeared in the distance, I first worked handheld with a long lens in order to narrow the view and get some flexibility about positioning the tree. Then I grabbed another camera that had a wider angle lens attached, and I made a few photographs that included more sky and water than seen here.
I have photographed in some remarkable landscape, where particular objects demanded attention. But this landscape along the Pacific Flyway is not that sort of place. To be honest, often it can seem plain and even boring. Much of the area is agricultural country, and nearby there are large cattle operations — not the most scenic or pleasant of landscape subjects. But for a few months each winter the fields flood and migratory birds return, and when the conditions are just right magic may happen.

Caldwell County Railroad's GP16 1811, still in its original Family Lines paint, heads out toward the NS interchange to retrieve two cars. The crew is seen passing the Piedmont Wagon & MFG Co. warehouse that was once a leading manufacturer of horse-drawn wagons. The building was built in 1889, 11 years after the company had been founded. The business closed its doors in 1959 as the demand for automobiles made wagons obsolete. Today, the building serves as a call center for a different company. Remarkably, the spur leading to the warehouse is still connected to the Caldwell County's active branch and leads all the way to the former loading dock still. The spur also continued past the Piedmont Wagon warehouse to a series of other buildings. Hickory, NC
J'ai demandé au pêcheur: Est-ce que le poisson mord? Il me répond: le plus important c'est enfin de sortir de chez-nous! Je pêche , donc je suis!

On me demande souvent si je suis obligé de me lever tôt pour prendre des photos. Bien sûr que non, pour faire des photos, ça n'est pas obligatoire, mais pour faire mes photos oui. Il y a dans ces moments du petit matin un mélange de solitude, de calme, de cadeau offert à mon cerveau. La photo fabriquée par l'appareil photo à ce moment là n'en est que l'image, tout le reste est pour moi.
It was 8:15 in the morning and already getting hot so it was time for something cool and refreshing to drink. In Thailand the Ovaltine is made with condensed milk which, if you have a sweet tooth makes it all the better. Add some ice and you are ready to go! Some interesting facts about Ovaltine from Wikipedia:
Ovaltine was developed in 1904 by chemist Albert Wander (1867–1950), in Bern, Switzerland, where it is also known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, which were originally its key ingredients). In 1927, the factory moved out to the village of Neuenegg, a short distance west of Bern, where it is still produced.
Ovomaltine was exported to Britain as Ovaltine in 1909. A factory was built in Kings Langley, which took it to the United States as well. By 1915, Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the US market. Ovaltine was later manufactured in Peterborough, Ontario, for distribution in Canada. Gerald Ethelbert Goldsmith was the president of the Ovaltine Foods at this time. In 1943, Ovaltine opened its second-largest factory in Devonport, Tasmania, to facilitate the demands of the Australasian and Southeast Asian markets.

In a world defined by responsibility, seriousness, and relentless hurry, a glowing neon sign whispers a simple yet powerful message: “Never Grow Up.” These three words, captured in the fleeting atmosphere of a bustling café, carry a meaning that extends far beyond their apparent simplicity.
The concept of never growing up is often associated with preserving a childlike innocence and maintaining an everlasting curiosity. It is a call to retain the ability to see the wonder in the mundane, to delight in the small things, and to explore the world with open eyes. In childhood, every moment is filled with possibilities, and every minor adventure can be the greatest.
Yet, “Never Grow Up” is more than just a sentimental recollection of the past. It also serves as a critical reflection on society, which often demands that we relinquish our youthful dreams and fantasies to fit into the role of ‘adult.’ This role is filled with obligations, serious decisions, and often a heavy dose of reality that can weigh us down.

A single light may guide, but it cannot chart the way. To follow blindly is to drift, lost in the waves, trusting a beacon that only marks a point, not the path. The journey demands more than the comfort of a distant glow—it requires a map of stars, a course plotted through both calm and storm. We must navigate with purpose, knowing the light is but a guidepost, not the journey’s end. Only with our eyes on the horizon and our course set can we find our way home.

Due a relatively high demand for local grain throughout the late summer months, OneRail have been operating several services South-East of Adelaide to Tailem Bend and Wolseley. On some days, a second divison service has been implemented to help cope with the demand. In this image, 1283S empty grain train to Tailem Bend heads through Mile End with GWA007/ALF24/CLF6/G535 in the early evening light on the 12th of February 2021.

Like much of England, the site of the New Forest was once deciduous woodland, recolonised by birch and eventually beech and oak after the withdrawal of the ice sheets starting around 12,000 years ago. Some areas were cleared for cultivation from the Bronze Age onwards; the poor quality of the soil in the New Forest meant that the cleared areas turned into heathland "waste", which may have been used even then as grazing land for horses.
There was still a significant amount of woodland in this part of Britain, but this was gradually reduced, particularly towards the end of the Middle Iron Age around 250–100 BC, and most importantly the 12th and 13th centuries, and of this essentially all that remains today is the New Forest.
There are around 250 round barrows within its boundaries, and scattered boiling mounds, and it also includes about 150 scheduled ancient monuments. One such barrow in particular may represent the only known inhumation burial of the Early Iron Age and the only known Hallstatt culture burial in Britain; however, the acidity of the soil means that bone very rarely survives.
Following Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britain, according to Florence of Worcester (d. 1118), the area became the site of the Jutish kingdom of Ytene; this name was the genitive plural of Yt meaning "Jute", i.e. "of the Jutes". The Jutes were one of the early Anglo-Saxon tribal groups who colonised this area of southern Hampshire. The word ytene (or ettin) is also found locally as a synonym for giant, and features heavily in local folklore.
Following the Norman Conquest, the New Forest was proclaimed a royal forest, in about 1079, by William the Conqueror. It was used for royal hunts, mainly of deer. It was created at the expense of more than 20 small hamlets and isolated farmsteads; hence it was then 'new' as a single compact area.
The New Forest was first recorded as Nova Foresta in Domesday Book in 1086, where a section devoted to it is interpolated between lands of the king's thegns and the town of Southampton; it is the only forest that the book describes in detail. Twelfth-century chroniclers alleged that William had created the forest by evicting the inhabitants of 36 parishes, reducing a flourishing district to a wasteland; however, this account is thought dubious by most historians, as the poor soil in much of the area is believed to have been incapable of supporting large-scale agriculture, and significant areas appear to have always been uninhabited.
Two of William's sons died in the forest: Prince Richard sometime between 1069 and 1075, and King William II (William Rufus) in 1100. Local folklore asserted that this was punishment for the crimes committed by William when he created his New Forest; 17th-century writer Richard Blome provides exquisite detail:
In this County [Hantshire] is New-Forest, formerly called Ytene, being about 30 miles in compass; in which said tract William the Conqueror (for the making of the said Forest a harbour for Wild-beasts for his Game) caused 36 Parish Churches, with all the Houses thereto belonging, to be pulled down, and the poor Inhabitants left succourless of house or home. But this wicked act did not long go unpunished, for his Sons felt the smart thereof; Richard being blasted with a pestilent Air; Rufus shot through with an Arrow; and Henry his Grand-child, by Robert his eldest son, as he pursued his Game, was hanged among the boughs, and so dyed. This Forest at present affordeth great variety of Game, where his Majesty oft-times withdraws himself for his divertisement.
The reputed spot of Rufus's death is marked with a stone known as the Rufus Stone. John White, Bishop of Winchester, said of the forest:
From God and Saint King Rufus did Churches take, From Citizens town-court, and mercate place, From Farmer lands: New Forrest for to make, In Beaulew tract, where whiles the King in chase Pursues the hart, just vengeance comes apace, And King pursues. Tirrell him seing not, Unwares him flew with dint of arrow shot.
The common rights were confirmed by statute in 1698. The New Forest became a source of timber for the Royal Navy, and plantations were created in the 18th century for this purpose. In the Great Storm of 1703, about 4000 oak trees were lost.
The naval plantations encroached on the rights of the Commoners, but the Forest gained new protection under the New Forest Act 1877, which confirmed the historic rights of the Commoners and entrenched that the total of enclosures was henceforth not to exceed 65 km2 (25 sq mi) at any time. It also reconstituted the Court of Verderers as representatives of the Commoners (rather than the Crown).
As of 2005, roughly 90% of the New Forest is still owned by the Crown. The Crown lands have been managed by the Forestry Commission since 1923 and most of the Crown lands now fall inside the new National Park.
Felling of broadleaved trees, and their replacement by conifers, began during the First World War to meet the wartime demand for wood. Further encroachments were made during the Second World War. This process is today being reversed in places, with some plantations being returned to heathland or broadleaved woodland. Rhododendron remains a problem.
During the Second World War, an area of the forest, Ashley Range, was used as a bombing range. During 1941-1945, the Beaulieu, Hampshire Estate of Lord Montagu in the New Forest was the site of group B finishing schools for agents[18] operated by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) between 1941 and 1945. (One of the trainers was Kim Philby who was later found to be part of a spy ring passing information to the Soviets.) In 2005, a special exhibition was mounted at the Estate, with a video showing photographs from that era as well as voice recordings of former SOE trainers and agents.
Further New Forest Acts followed in 1949, 1964 and 1970. The New Forest became a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1971, and was granted special status as the New Forest Heritage Area in 1985, with additional planning controls added in 1992. The New Forest was proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 1999, and it became a National Park in 2005.

A megalomaniacal manicule makes it's demands clear in the Botanical Gardens in Ventnor. The park had once been the grounds of the National Hospital for TB and when that institution closed the grounds were turned into a public garden. These cast iron signs must have been part of the hospital's laying out and each of the principal walks was named after a Doctor and identified my a monumental; and ornate signpost like this.
Wish more of the shot was in sharper focus, but I am pleased enough with the angle and detail to post it.
