"George can take a track with Troopies on his back
Carrying the packs and ammo
He doesn't look so mush when he rumbles through the bush
Even seen him climb a gomo
Takin' us along, whatcha over you and I
Home is far but the wheels on the tar are a lullaby
Buddy you know how it feels
Listen to George, listen to George, and his singin' wheels"
This was one of those shots that didn't at first cone out right because of heavy warm weather haze. But after a lot of tweaking with the picture software I turned this into a much better shot. Taken from the balcony of the Cloisters Museum.
Views of the area around lake George. The autumn color is subdued this year due to summer's drought.

This post is the 20th warbler species I have posted since the end of March which for me is somewhat of a milestone. Those of you who are familiar with my photo stream know I have a special interest in warblers. My warbler images this year are thus far mostly taken in Georgia where we have over 20 breeding species in our state, and several images have been from Florida, with a few from Tennessee and a few from North Carolina. I have 2 or 3 more species to post from this Spring. The end of July marks for me to beginning of my fall migration efforts where I try for fall plumages including females and juveniles. I also hope to pick up some additional warbler species. I have had a lot of fun and adventure since the end of March working on this, and I sincerely appreciate all the comments and favs.

That Georgie boy!
George is a bit confused. He think he is a carrot and a vampire to boot! No worries though...he is a vegetarian. Marivn is his best friend. They get into all sorts of trouble together. ;)

The Cape George Lighthouse is situated in Antigonish County, Nova Scotia at Cape George Point which overlooks the waters of St. George’s Bay. The present lighthouse was built in 1968 and it is the third lighthouse built on this site. It stands approximately 360 feet above the bay and both Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island are visible with a clear horizon.

George Clooney on the lower field.
His right leg seems to be injured, but it's not.
This is his favourite pose for photos.
At Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. Mount Rushmore National Memorial is centered on a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot (18 m) heads of Presidents George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), as recommended by Borglum. The four presidents were chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development, and preservation, respectively.

Meet George. He's only 2 inches high but yet he takes full responsibility for keeping an eye on my newly painted mint green bedroom while I'm away.
His key role is to report any intrusion by the household Kleptomaniac and from his spot on this high shelf he has an optimum view.
George's belly is looking a tad dirty however, think it may be time to wash the baby....and yes, the shelf could do with a dusting also ;op
This image has been produced from memory and may need a little tweaking if it prompts anyone to offer photographic evidence (I recall seeing a picture a few years ago). George Stephenson & Company Limited of Bishop Auckland was one of the largest building contractor in south-west Durham. The yards at Bishop Auckland and Tindale Crescent were an Aladdin's Cave to anyone interested in elderly vehicles - particularly ex-military kit. My favourites were the Leyland Hippo tippers with the 'RAF' style cabs (as per the pressure refuellers).
Bus-wise Stephensons had operated pre-war Bristol J-Types and post-war L-Type before acquiring this Bristol LS (I imagined there were more but this is the only one that I can be sure of). New in 1955 to United Automobile Services as VHN 899 (fleet number BU99), it was withdrawn in 1971, passing to Stephensons for staff transport. The company ceased trading sometime in the late 1970s.

Towards to top of the potter's field in Alhambra Cemetery, numbered markers give way to small metal markers that display actual names, but it really just trades one problem for another. The metal markers are not intended to be permanent. These graves are not anonymous, but over time the markers will deteriorate and possibly get moved or even stolen. They're not an ideal replacement for the numbered blocks.

Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812. British forces included British regulars, local militia, aboriginal warriors, and a corps of freed slaves. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock served at Fort George until his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. Brock and his aide-de-camp John Macdonell, who were both killed during the battle, were initially interred at the fort. In May 1813, the Americans captured Fort George following a barrage of artillery fire from Fort Niagara (located less than 1000 metres across the Niagara River) and ships at the mouth of the river and on Lake Ontario. The bombardment destroyed most of the fort, which was held by the Americans for 7 months.
The Americans used Fort George and the adjacent town of Niagara-on-the-Lake as a base to invade the rest of Upper Canada. However, British forces repulsed the Americans at the Battles of Stoney Creek and Beaver Dams. The British recaptured Fort George in December 1813. During the American withdrawal, they razed the town and the fort. The townspeople rebuilt Niagara-on-the-Lake following the war, and the British partially rebuilt Fort George. However, Fort George's importance diminished as a result of the construction of Fort Mississauga down river on the other side of Niagara-on-the-Lake. As a result, Fort George fell into ruin and was abandoned in 1820.
The fort has since been rebuilt to how it would have appeared during the War of 1812. The only structure that survived the war was, ironically, its most vulnerable: the powder magazine.
The blockhouses were used for storage (on the ground level) and as barracks (on the upper level).
