Georgios Averof is a modified Pisa-class armored cruiser built in Italy for the Royal Hellenic Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. The ship served as the Greek flagship during most of the first half of the century. Although popularly known as a battleship in Greek, she is in fact an armored cruiser and the only ship of this type still in existence.

Beyond the surface

Rising from the water like the creation of an Expressionist artist, this twisted, distorted willow is an essential part of the diverse marshland habitat at Gray Lodge Preserve. It is estimated that over 1 million water fowl reside here from November through February. The amazing thing is that few people seem to know about this wonderful spot. We make a point to pay a visit every year during the peak months, and we rarely run into more than a handful of people--all of them bird lovers. Check it out if you live nearby.

It looks like there is life on other planets too, not just on earth, according my picture above.

The existence of series of atoms was primarily responsible for the formation of life in our universe. The biggest creativity, in our universe history, was the formation of Helium atom.

According the online information,

existing for us refers to remain alive or continue to be; in simple terms, it can be described as doing what is necessary to stay alive. When compared to existing, living means to enjoy your life and savour every movement of it.

Again according the online information,

the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is an irregular galaxy, the closest neighbouring galaxy to the Earth's location in the Milky Way, being located about 25,000 light-years (236,000,000,000,000,000 km) away from our Solar System.

Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is located in the same part of the sky as the constellation Canis Major. Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.The southern celestial hemisphere is also called the Southern Sky. Some constellations in the northern sky are Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.

 

We hope that humans are able to travel that far one day if we are able to survive the dangers like asteroids, comets, alien invasion, global warming ,climate change, racism, nationalism, hunger, wars, viruses (like coronavirus), sicknesses, genetic-mutation, etc.

Our generation will not see the other galaxies, but we may live long enough to stay in space-hotels in our solar system, hopefully.

Two birds in the shape of swallows

vanished during the making

of this picture. The birds were taking

their time, warbling low over the wheat

that bent its head, the route they took

towards the hills marked by a short

twitter and a longer trill.

 

Had they known to stay still

I'd have caught them on film,

but with heartbeats that raced faster

than my own, I knew better

than to force their lives

to fit the pace of mine.

 

And so this picture remembers

wheat and hills and sun but not

the birds. Let this be a lesson

in how not to merely vanish

from the Earth: slow down, stay

in one place long enough to know

you'll be remembered. Leave something

of yourself: an image or a story

or just a few words, maybe about

two birds, and strung together

like so: so the world

will know.

The existence of this mountain and Bandung's topographic form in the form of a basin with hills and mountains on each side reinforces the theory of the existence of a large lake which is now the Bandung area. Geologists believe that the highland area of ​​Bandung with an altitude of approximately 709 m above sea level is the remnant of a large lake formed by the damming of Ci Tarum by ancient volcanic eruptions known as Mount Sunda and Mount Tangkuban Parahu is the remnant of ancient Sunda Mountain which is still active. This phenomenon can be seen on Krakatau Mountain in the Sunda Strait and the Ngorongoro region in Tanzania, Africa.

A macro shot of a sand dollar.

Sand dollars, like all members of the order Clypeasteroida, possess a rigid skeleton known as a test. The test consists of calcium carbonate plates arranged in a fivefold radial pattern.

Dead individuals are commonly found with their empty test devoid of all surface material and bleached white by sunlight.

 

I was never aware of their existence until my visit to Coco Plum Beach, Bahamas.

 

It's on the north end of Great Exuma island, a spot that has become renowned for its shelling and the wonderful sand dollars you can find there, especially during low tide.

The city of Galesburg, Illinois has been dominated by the railroads for almost all of its existence. So much so in fact that the annual city-wide festival is known as Railroad Days. First, it was the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy (Burlington Route, later, Burlington Northern), and then the Santa Fe (among other smaller, less successful railroads). Those two railroads merged to become today's BNSF Railway. With as much rail traffic that Galesburg saw over the years, and as many grade crossings as it had, train horns could be heard from all points in the city and at all times of the day. And traffic backups were the norm.

 

Somewhat surprisingly, it took until the 2010's for Galesburg to finally start construction a series of grade separations at the busiest crossings. The first was an overpass over the former Santa Fe main (today's BNSF Chillicothe Sub) on Main Street. Second was an overpass also over the Chilli Sub that connected Seminary Street to Kellogg Street. The third and so far last was an underpass on Main Street that went under the former Burlington Northern main (today's BNSF Mendota Sub). And with the completion of this underpass, the whole town could finally be declared a Quiet Zone.

 

When these grade separations were completed, it was only natural that they would draw railfans during the Railroad Days festivities for new photo opportunities. Ever since the Seminary Street bridge (formally known as the Bickerdyke Bridge) opened circa 2015, I have had a desire to photograph a train from it. That opportunity finally happened during the final day of Railroad Days 2023. Here we see an eastbound BNSF intermodal train on the Chilli Sub. In this view looking west-southwest, you can see 5 street crossings over Cedar Creek. Only two of these are open today, N. Prairie Street (foreground crossing) and N. Broad Street (background crossing).

After heavy rainfall this past weekend, the sun came and lo and behold the appearance of a rainbow in the sky over the beautiful green patina of the Hoboken Terminal formerly the Erie Lackawana Terminal that opened back in 1907. When this terminal opened it was wonder, a real transportation hub prior to proliferation of the automobile. While the horseless carriage was in existence in 1907, at that point it was not for the common man. All the major railroads either shared or had their own terminals similar to this one on the New Jersey waterfront. The trains from inland all stopped by the waterfront from West New York down to Jersey City which all faced the island of Manhattan. Then the passengers would board ferries that would transport them across the Hudson River to New York City. So after a ferry caught on fire in 1905 and completely burned down this terminals predecessor, the Lackawana Railroad made the decision for a grand replacement and they hired Kenneth Murchison an architect from the firm of McKim, Mead and White the same firm that designed the masterpiece original Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan. When it was finished, it was originally a hub for ferries, trolleys, freight trains and passenger trains, and it was also home to a mail-sorting site and a Y.M.C.A. residence. Once the automobile became more accessible, like in the rest of the country, the trolleys were the first to go away; train volume continued to decrease. The ferries believe it or not actually ran until 1967 when the last ferry crossed from New Jersey until service started again 19 years later in 1986. The Manhattan Terminal or Hudson Terminal where the ferries ended up were along with Radio Row were torn down as part of the huge project that would become the original World Trade Center. The terminal fell into disrepair after that, almost succumbing to the wrecking ball several times, the beautiful 225 foot clock tower had been dismantled in the 1950 as the structure deteriorated to the point the city Hoboken believe it would topple over. What probably saved the Erie Lackawana Terminal was the same outrage that saved Grand Central Terminal, the outrage that came about at the destruction of Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan that gave impetus to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in New York. So this station lay in disarray though, not being utilized any near its capacity until New Jersey Transit saw an opportunity here, New Jersey Transit executive director George Warrington was key in the terminal’s acquisition by NJT [ flic.kr/p/effUkx ] The interior waiting room was restored [ flic.kr/p/nt7Kxv ], structural support was restored to the northern portion that was literally falling into the water, a somewhat shorter clock tower was put up (a faithful reproduction of the original) [ flic.kr/p/e9PcZK ] , 5 of the six ferry slips were fixed for New York Waterway and the beautiful exterior is in the process of being restored.

Sadly there was a thought originally that the Binghamton Ferry [ flic.kr/p/pDvYf7 ] which I have posted about is falling apart up the river in Edgewater New Jersey would be brought here to serve as part of a museum in one of the slips as it was the last surviving ferry that actually used this terminal [ flic.kr/p/ed8mAU ].

So the façade you see here were the entrances of the ferry slips, that’s why you see the one near the center has lettering that says ‘FERRIES TO NEW YORK’ and distinct green patina on the cooper surface which as I pointed out in an earlier posting of this terminal [ flic.kr/p/qfozbb ] was cooper left over from the Statue of Liberty.

These two Icons came into existence at the same time to celebrate the worlds fair held in Seattle in 1962. The Space Needle and the Monorail have both served as reminders of the big event and are still two of the iconic attractions the city has to offer.

 

Thanks for stopping in and have a great Easter weekend. I'll be catching up with everyone in the next few days.
