Word out of Marquette is that Empire produced its final pellets yesterday, August 3. It will take a number of weeks to draw down the stockpiles seen in this view taken on July 16 when the plant was still operating.
. . . Empire City Beach is a great place to practice the "Turn Around" Rule of photography! Everyone is so enthralled with the view of Sleeping Bear dunes to the north, they forget to turn around and see Empire Bluffs, even closer and just as tall, to the south!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Went up the Rockefeller Building when I was in New York with friends. We randomly timed it perfectly for sundown. The view is epic. Better to go up the Rockefeller and actually see the Empire State Building I think. Plus there isn't loads of hassle from people trying to sell you tickets at the bottom.
Cusco was once the capital of the Inca empire and now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, convenient to nearby archaeological ruins. It’s a great place to photograph old Spanish colonial architecture, grab a tasty local lunch or spend the night in a historic hotel. We enjoyed all three! Texture by SkeletalMess.
I hiked and waded down the beach from Empire Mchigan out away from the lights and watched the moon set. The bluff is an exposure from while the moon was still out. I don't particularly like blending a sunset or moonlit scene for my foreground shots, because a first thought often is, "where is that light coming from?" but I thought I'd try it at least.

The Empire Sandy was built in 1943, and is a steel hulled tall ship that plies Lake Ontario as a tourist vessel.
The multiple buildings of Manhattan's Hudson Yards development are here visually divided into left and right groups by a one-mile-(1.6 km)-distant Empire State Building, which seems to sprout from Thomas Alexander Heatherwick's bowl-shaped Vessel (opened in 2019), Hudson River, NYC, November 8, 2024, 3:23 PM.
Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley is a historical mine site that celebrates the history of mining in Nevada County. The property is divided into two parts: the part where the bosses lived, which is a beautiful parklike setting where the miners weren't allowed; and the part where the miners worked which is a dusty mine site, full of rusty and crusty equipment. Guess which section this shot came from? Hint: the leaves are floating on a reflecting pool.

Ochsenfurt (German: [ˈɔksn̩ˌfʊʁt]) is a town in the district of Würzburg, in Bavaria, Germany. Ochsenfurt is located on the left bank of the River Main and has around 11,000 inhabitants. This makes it the largest town in Würzburg district.
Like Oxford, the town of Ochsenfurt is named after a ford where oxen crossed the river.
The town is situated on the left bank of the River Main, 21 kilometres (13 mi) south of Würzburg.
Ochsenfurt was one of the places in Germany where King Richard I of England was detained in 1193 while on his way to England from the Third Crusade.
A monastery, Tückelhausen Charterhouse, dedicated to Saints Lambert, John the Baptist, and George, was founded in 1138 by Otto I, Bishop of Bamberg, as a double canonry of the Premonstratensians. From 1351 it belonged to the Carthusians and was secularised in 1803.
The charterhouse was largely converted for private residential use and since 1991 contains a museum of Carthusian life.
Ochsenfurt also features several Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, among them that of St Michael (Michaelskapelle), a Gothic edifice.
In 1911 there was a considerable trade in wine and agricultural products, other industries being brewing and malting. Ochsenfurt also has one of the largest sugar factories in Germany.
Lower Franconia (German: Unterfranken) is one of seven districts of Bavaria, Germany. The districts of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia make up the region of Franconia. It consists of nine districts and 308 municipalities (including three cities).
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganised and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke, singular Regierungsbezirk), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Untermainkreis (Lower Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Untermainkreis changed to Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg, but the city name was dropped in the middle of the 20th century, leaving just Lower Franconia.
From 1933, the regional Nazi Gauleiter, Otto Hellmuth, (who had renamed his party Gau "Mainfranken") insisted on renaming the government district Mainfranken as well. He encountered resistance from Bavarian state authorities but finally succeeded in having the name of the district changed, effective 1 June 1938. After 1945 the name Unterfranken was restored.
Franconia (German: Franken, pronounced [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍]; Franconian: Franggn [ˈfrɑŋɡŋ̍]; Bavarian: Frankn) is a region of Germany, characterised by its culture and Franconian dialect (German: Fränkisch).
Franconia is made up of the three Regierungsbezirke of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia in Bavaria, the adjacent, Franconian-speaking, South Thuringia, south of the Thuringian Forest—which constitutes the language boundary between Franconian and Thuringian— and the eastern parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in Baden-Württemberg.
Those parts of the Vogtland lying in Saxony (largest city: Plauen) are sometimes regarded as Franconian as well, because the Vogtlandian dialects are mostly East Franconian. The inhabitants of Saxon Vogtland, however, mostly do not consider themselves as Franconian. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the Hessian-speaking parts of Lower Franconia west of the Spessart (largest city: Aschaffenburg) do consider themselves as Franconian, although not speaking the dialect. Heilbronn-Franconia's largest city of Heilbronn and its surrounding areas are South Franconian-speaking, and therefore only sometimes regarded as Franconian. In Hesse, the east of the Fulda District is Franconian-speaking, and parts of the Oden Forest District are sometimes regarded as Franconian for historical reasons, but a Franconian identity did not develop there.
Franconia's largest city and unofficial capital is Nuremberg, which is contiguous with Erlangen and Fürth, with which it forms the Franconian conurbation with around 1.3 million inhabitants. Other important Franconian cities are Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Ansbach and Coburg in Bavaria, Suhl and Meiningen in Thuringia, and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The German word Franken—Franconians—also refers to the ethnic group, which is mainly to be found in this region. They are to be distinguished from the Germanic people of the Franks, and historically formed their easternmost settlement area. The origins of Franconia lie in the settlement of the Franks from the 6th century in the area probably populated until then mainly by the Elbe Germanic people in the Main river area, known from the 9th century as East Francia (Francia Orientalis). In the Middle Ages the region formed much of the eastern part of the Duchy of Franconia and, from 1500, the Franconian Circle. The restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon, after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, saw most of Franconia awarded to Bavaria." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

At Track speed, the Empire Builder cruises through Frontenac MN on a code blue day. As it passes, I wish I were on it having French toast, bacon and coffee in the warmth of the diner.. Great day for a trip along the Mississippi as the Builder travels to Chicago.

It's unfomfortably late, but the Empire Builder approaches Fordson Junction with a BNSF tier 4 locomotive leading the charge.
Roaming the streets of Midtown Manhattan at night with camera in hand is one of my favorite things to do while in town. On this evening I came across the Empire State Building framed by the steam being vented from below. A unique scene for me at least.
Thanks for looking!

Even the Empire State seems to hold its breath for a second, just long enough for the city to feel still.

This seven story steel-constructed brownstone and brick building at W. Main and 4th Street was built in 1907 by Virgil L. Highland, founder and first president of the bank. It is an example of Renaissance Revival Architecture.
