A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.

St. Pauli-Elbtunnel
Hamburg
"Am 30. November 1909 war ein erster Bauabschnitt, der Schacht in St. Pauli, im Rohbau fertig, am 29. März 1910 wurde schon die Oströhre durchgeschlagen, am 1. Juni folgte die Weströhre.
Auch oberirdisch sollte Hamburgs neuer Stolz Maßstäbe setzen. Verantwortlich dafür zeichnete Otto Wöhlecke vom Altonaer Architektenbüro Raabe & Wöhlecke, von dem auch das Landungsbrücken-Ensemble stammt. Der Elbtunnel galt als »Kathedrale der Technik«, Sinnbild unaufhaltsamen Fortschritts, und wurde entsprechend gestaltet. Die Eingangsgebäude waren – wenn schon, denn schon – mit Rotunde, Säulen und tempelartigen Giebeln dem Pantheon in Rom nachempfunden. Das stieß nicht überall auf ungeteilte Begeisterung: »Einem Mausoleum nicht unähnlich«, mäkelte die Zeitschrift Deutsche Bauhütte.
Die beiden Gebäude hatten identische Silhouetten, bestanden aber aus verschiedenen Materialien: rotem Backstein auf Steinwerder, passend zu den umliegenden Zoll- und Werftbauten, Tuffstein, Basalt und Granit in St. Pauli, um die Landungsbrücken optisch zu ergänzen."
Driving around that bend on the left of the picture, one was faced with a sudden descent that made your hair stand on end !

Out of the bosom of the Air
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring —
When weeds in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

Normally there are steps down from Craigshannoch, but descending the steeper slopes is tricky in the deep snow, as you can't quite see where you're stepping, and with crampons rocks can be treacherous.
This bird and the pose just makes me think of an angel coming down from above.
In this shot, the bird was heading towards the feeder but he wasn't quite within the sweet spot for the best focus. He hit that just as he was landing and also as he left the feeder.
So the sharpness is definitely lacking a bit but I thought the overall aesthetics were pleasing anyway so I decided I share it. Can't always get that perfection but sometimes we get what we get.
And it's so rare to see these birds do anything other than scale up and down a tree trunk. So I'll take it, even if it's not perfect.

Here is another opportunity capture that presented itself when down in the underground fort in Maine. The standing water made a neat reflection there in the tunnel section. Was able to catch this young lad coming back down the stairs.

Last rays of the day highlight increasing water and declining ice. Even with continuous snow today the ice shows a small decline. Spring time in Alaska.
Battersea Power Station. The concourse of one wing. Only got this far before a fire alarm had us evacuated so will save the central area for a later date.
Unfortunately I don't have much time to take photos at the moment as I'm busy with preparing my move to another apartment and also there's a lot going on at work (will have to change something about that too, and soon). Anyway, I guess I'll keep posting holiday photos from last month for some time...
Autumn leaves glisten in the morning sun as a trio of EMD F40PHRs make their descent into Agawa Canyon with a sold-out, 17-car train. Pictured here at the scenic Mile 112 trestle, passengers aboard the Tour Train will catch their first glimpses of the world-famous Canyon as the train follows the Agawa River to Canyon Park, just two miles ahead.
