This view extends from the island of
Grande Jatte,framed by trees to the red-roofed houses of the Paris suburb of
either Asniéres or Courbevoie across the Seine.Seurat had earlier celebrated this stretch of the river with his ambitious compositions Bathers at Asnières (1883-84,National Gallery,London) and A Sunday on La Grande Matte (1884-86),Art Institute of Chicago)
Here,he sought "to transcribe most exactly the vivid outdoor clarity [of nature] in all its nuances"using a technique known as Divisionism (also called Pointillism).The painted border was added shortly before the picture was first exhibited in 1889-the MET
While most of the northern states, and Canadian Provinces have already had their first snowfall of the year, the coastal region of BC has been blessed with positive temperatures and near constant rainfall instead. In spite of this, I set off this past weekend to shoot the Fraser Canyon. Train activity was quite slow for a Saturday morning, so I was forced to pivot from my plan to stay on the 'CP' side of the canyon, and instead go wherever the traffic was moving.
After hearing that I would have an extended drought of eastbounds running up the Cascade Sub, I headed over to the Yale Sub to wait for the next westbound departing Boston Bar. A new location that was on my list, was on the east side of the Chapman's Bar Tunnel. Credit for figuring out this location goes to Ryan A, who shot a great scene here a week prior. (Thanks Ryan!)
Above CN M311 winds its way through the curves between Komo and Chapmans, held to restricted speed on account of a slide fence under repair.
Rescue 3 was a medium tug, mainly used near space stations. It was equipped with a pair of extendable magnetic clamps. The tug's colour scheme indicated its emergency role.

When I built my hydrogen tanker for SHIPtember, I trialled some hexagonal shapes. Unfortunately, I didn't have of enough bricks to make it over 100 studs long. This ship is only 42 studs long and doesn't require an internal frame for strength, like a SHIP might do.
There are more images and a video of the magnetic clamps' pantograph mechanism on Instagram.
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends & HFF too!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Your comments have given me a new appreciation for this image. Coleen

I know Barn Owls screech and it's the Tawny owl that Twit twoo's but it was the only title I could think of LOL
I put up a Barn Owl nesting box in a big Oak tree not 100 yards behind my house. Last year I had success and Mum and Dad fledged three young. These are two young Barn owls (you can tell by the last bit of fluff on the tummy, not taken from behind my house, but not to far away at all.
I went across the field last night and saw a Barn Owl on the front of my box, the first of this year !!!!!!
I very rarely put the 2x extender on the 600mm, but I was super impressed with the quality...... Note to self, do it more often !!
Thanks to everyone that gave their opinion on my Bluebell image (positive or negative) I really appreciated the feedback xx

Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons

Bright Star
~John Keats 1795-1821~
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'LF' Spitfires had engine superchargers optimized for low level flight and it was found that removing the wing tips (which could easily be done in the field) allowed a faster role rate at those lower altitudes. Confusingly, not all LF Spitfires flew with 'clipped' wings, and not all clipped wing Spitfires are LF models. A captured FW-190 was found to outperform the then current Mk V Spitfire in most important repects which led to the hasty redesign of Mk Vs to MK IXs with a more powerful engine which went some way to addressing the deficit.
Mohave Point has a fine view of the near vertical, 3,000 foot high cliffs that encircle The Abyss and continue towards Pima Point, two miles west. Beyond, further to the west, are three of the next points (Yuma, Cocopa, Havasupai), fading into the distance. Below the huge cliffs, about half a mile of river is visible, including Boucher Rapids and Granite Rapids, at the end of Monument Creek which occupies most of the near ground. In the east, the ridge extending from Hopi Point blocks some of the canyon, so the panorama starts with Bright Angel Canyon on the North Rim, and includes Ninetyone Mile Creek, Trinity Creek and Ninteyfour Mile Creek. Directly below Mohave Point is a distinctive red sandstone mesa with jagged edges, known as The Alligator.

The Anastasia Formation extends for 2 miles north along the shoreline with cliffs up to 15 feet high at the House of Refuge. Looking south from the end of the boardwalk, Bathtub Reef is visible.
Immediately ahead is an outcrop with small burrows, aminated crusts, solution pipes, a notch and an abrasion platform, and a mass of collapsed rock. Moving north along the beach moving toward the House of Refuge, there are several outcrops with conspicuous notches.
At the House of Refuge are prominent planar bedding, many fossils (including Busycon), small and large burrows, thick laminated calcium carbonate crusts, lithified infillings, solution pipes, notched cliffs, promontories and small coves, and many large masses of collapsed bedrock.

There are several varieties of Australian Christmas Bush and all are supposed to flower in December. Mine must have missed out on that instruction, having already turned a corner of the yard red, with masses of red brachts enclosing much smaller white flowers. Another image from my INDUSTAR-22 5cm f3.5 collapsible lens. Wide open and extended. The white flowers are about 1cm across.

We extended The Roaches walk and visited Lud’s Church near Gradbach. An impressive natural rock cleft that was once a worshipping place for Lollards and inspired the poem 'Gawain and the Green Knight'. Here is information from the Peak District website www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/ludschurch.php
“Lud's Church is an immense natural cleft in the rock on the hillside above Gradbach, in a forest area known as the Black Forest. The feature has been formed by a landslip which has detached a large section of rock from the hillside, thus forming a cleft which is over 15 metres high in places and over 100 metres long, though usually only a couple of metres wide.
Over the ages this place has offered shelter to all sorts of renegades and there is a tradition that Robin Hood used it. However, it is fairly certain that the Lollards (followers of John Wycliffe, an early church reformer, who were condemned as heretics) used it as a place of worship in the early 15th century, giving the place its current name. The church also acted as the model for the 'Green Chapel' in the classic mediaeval poem 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', and the aura of mediaeval romance still seems to stick to it.”
The Texas rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri ) is a subspecies of rat snake, a nonvenomous colubrid found in the United States, primarily within the state of Texas, but its range extends into Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.[1] It intergrades with other subspecies of Elaphe obsoleta, so exact range boundaries are impossible to distinguish.[2] The epithet lindheimeri is to honor the German-American naturalist Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer, who collected the first specimen in New Braunfels, Texas.[3]
One of my favorite birds and the reason I bought my Canon 600 f/4 prime lens - I found this drake hooded merganser at Lake Artemesia today with another drake and two hens. Little did he know that I had finally calibrated my Canon 2x tele-converter on my 7D2 and 600 using my lens align system and was going to test it out on some unsuspecting birds. So, Mr. Hoodie became my first test subject to see if I could focus with an astonishing 1920mm effective (7D2 body, 2.0 extender, and 600mm lens is 1.6 X 2.0 X 600 = 1920) and actually get a nice photo out of it. Why do this at all? Well, most of the hooded mergansers I've met aren't really a sociable lot. They seem uncomfortable around humans and they like to stay far far away towards the middle of the lake if they can. But the 2X introduces another problem and it's a huge consideration. Can I keep the camera and lens stable enough so that I didn't get a blurry photography. The longer the effective the more of a problem this is and this is as long as I can get and still use autofocus on my 7D2 body. I was shooting this camera combination on a tripod with a Wimberly head.
Well, you be the judge! How do you think it all worked out? Did I nail it or get a blurry photo? Thank you for looking and giving me feedback my friends!

There is an interesting tangle of long tree roots along the bank of the lake and it is not always easy or obvious to identify which tree they belong to...

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest cat in tropical America and in the world the third largest cat after the tiger and lion.
The jaguar's present range extends from the U.S.-Mexico border across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina, particularly in the Amazon basin.
This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioural and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger.
The rosettes on a jaguar's coat are larger, fewer in number, usually darker, and have thicker lines and small spots in the middle that the leopard lacks.
While dense rainforest is its preferred habitat, the jaguar will range across a variety of forested and open terrains. It is strongly associated with the presence of water and is notable, along with the tiger, as a feline that enjoys swimming.
The jaguar is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the food chain. Jaguars are powerfully built, with large, square jaws. Jaguars have lean bodies and muscular limbs. They are built for power, not speed, although they can run briefly. Height at the shoulder may be up to 75 cm. Body length is 130 to 190 cm long with a tail of 45 to 75 cm. Jaguars weigh between 65 and 125 kg. Base coat colors range from pale yellow to reddish brown, with black, rosette-shaped spots.
They may also be black (a melanistic form), but then, despite being the same species, are often called panthers. These jaguars have a base coat color of black with black spots that are usually dimly visible against the black background. Black jaguars are more common in forested habitats.
De grootste kat van het Amerikaanse continent is de jaguar (Panthera onca). Na de tijger en de leeuw is deze kat de derde grootste van de wereld.
De jaguar heeft een groot leefgebied dat zich uitstrekt van de Amerikaans-Mexicaanse grens via Midden-Amerika tot in Paraguay en Noord-Argentinië in Zuid-Amerika.
In het Amazonegebied komen de meeste jaguars voor.
De jaguar lijkt oppervlakkig sterk op de luipaard of panter, maar is meestal groter en zwaarder gebouwd. De vlekken (rozetten) op de vacht van een jaguar zijn ook groter, minder in aantal, meestal donkerder, en hebben dikkere lijnen en kleine vlekjes in het midden, die bij de luipaarden ontbreken.
Het gedrag en de leefgebieden van jaguars zijn dichter bij die van tijgers. Jaguars leven vooral in tropische bossen, maar ook in meer open terreinen, mits er genoeg dekking is van gras en rotsen tijdens het jagen. Ze hebben net als tijgers een voorkeur voor waterrijke gebieden. Ze zijn ook niet bang voor water en kunnen goed zwemmen. Vrijwel ieder dier dat in het leefgebied van de jaguar voorkomt, vormt een potentiële prooi voor dit roofdier. De solitair levende jaguar is vooral in de ochtend- en avondschemering actief.
Jaguars zijn krachtig gebouwd met grote sterke kaken. De poten zijn relatief kort, maar erg sterk. De staart zorgt voor evenwicht bij het springen. De vacht is lichtgeel tot roodbruin met zwarte rozetten, ronde of ovale vlekken met daarin één of twee donkere stippen. Midden op de rug verandert de rij zwarte vlekken soms in een doorlopende lijn. De hoogte bij de schouder kan oplopen tot 75 cm. De lichaamslengte is 130 à 190 cm met een staart van 50 à 75 cm. Jaguars wegen tussen de 65 en 125 kg.
Naast de hiervoor beschreven lichtgeel tot roodbruin kleur is er ook een melanistische (zwarte) variant, waarbij de vlekken wel te zien zijn in de zon. Ondanks dat het dezelfde soort betreft, worden de zwarte jaguars vaak onjuist panters genoemd. Zwarte jaguars komen wat meer voor in bosrijke gebieden.
