This Townsend's warbler was posed in the bushes the other day; with the one leg up, it reminds me of a statue of some heroic figures!
A heroic President on horseback, but instead of George Washington in uniform it's Ronald Reagan in a t-shirt. A tribute to Reagan's visit to Dixon in 1950, when he rode in the town's "Injun Summer Days" parade. - See more at: www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/31830#sthash.YosrjNTA.dpuf
I wonder
does Artificial Intelligence have courage
will it stand in the gap to protect freedom and love
will it take that bullet with true heroics
or will just give us over to a faceless coward
the father of this life
created a thing not known to stand above
but to creep and crawl like a snake in the mud
they tell us it's purpose is for the greater good
but how can that be
without a tongue to taste
a heart to feel
or a hand to hold
all that is truly good noble and bold.

Puente medieval con triste y heroica historia ( Reinoso de Cerrato ) Palencia.
Destruido por las tropas francesas,durante la Guerra de la Independencia; se vio afectada, la población, y el puente, en varias ocasiones, por los ataques que realizaban los guerrilleros contra los convoyes de suministro que transitaban por el Camino Real y la respuesta que daban las tropas francesas acantonadas en la zona (Fuente: Página Web Ayuntamiento de Reinoso).

Gorgeous, sinewy bronze by Richard MacDonald. Displayed at Carmel Plaza in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA.
I wish I could reshoot this one. I would have liked the end of the trumpet to be in focus as the body, but I didn't position myself so that it would be in the same plane of focus. I also don't like that the fingers of the left hand are in the empty space; still, there's enough definition in the fingers to be distinguishable.
This image is dedicated to the President of the United States of America, Mr. Barak Hussein Obama. OK, he might never get to see this image and he might never get to know about this dedication either. What a pity, he doesn’t know what he is missing. LOL!
So you might be wondering why I am doing this. The sitting president has on his desk a proposal to create a new national monument called Bear Ears. This national monument would give protection to 1.9 million acres and contains more than 100,000 cultural and archeological sites. At the moment this area is the most significant unprotected archeological area in the United States.
There is a fierce political battle going on. On one side republican Utah representatives Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz who are telling constituents for three years that they have been drafting legislation to protect the area, but they failed to introduce legislation containing specific boundaries and provisions. It became increasingly clear that the so-called negotiations that they aimed to run out the clock on the Obama administration’s ability to use the Antiquities Act to create a national monument.
On the other side of the rope is an unprecedented Inter-Tribal Coalition of 26 tribes and other environmentally interested organizations trying to get the President of the Untied States of America to sign the bill before he leaves the office beginning of next year.
Obama has previously showed vision and courage in using this authority, and creating a Bears Ears National Monument would be very much in that tradition and fully justified by the facts.

You are aged 11, or 12 max, and you have uncovered a Disgraceful Thing right under the very noses of the grown-ups who just won't listen, not even the ones with sensible shoes.
Bravely, you and your little gang and little blue and orangey red boat set about exposing the Disgrace and crikey, you've caught them red handed !
Now you need Aunt Fiona or Uncle Tommy - the only decent grown-up in the village - to arrive in the nick of time to take charge of the baddies and this is the very boat they should arrive in.
Gosh !

Monty looking heroic at the top of Drygarn Fawr in Mid Wales. Drygarn Fawr has got to be one of the bleakest places I know in Wales, especially on a day when there is a biting wind, the temperature is around zero and the cloud threatens to engulf the hilltop. It is hard work under snow and ice. This hill has two of the biggest cairns I know of, both of which were built by the workers who built the dams in the Elan Valley far below.
Before there were lighthouses on the Peninsula, ships bound for Portland and Astoria navigated their way through the high waves and shifting sandbars, focusing on fluttering white flags and notched trees along the shoreline by day and flickering signal fires by night. These methods were crude at best and, despite heroic efforts, the sea offshore of the Long Beach Peninsula became known as ‘The Graveyard of the Pacific’.
North Head is the windiest lighthouse area on the West Coast and the second windiest in the nation. Winds of 120 miles per hour have been recorded at the site

Been very upset and angry over the past couple of days. Didn't go out anywhere all day today. I was sat next to my picture window, working, when it rained cats and dogs for a few minutes and then the skies turned War-of-the-Worlds rusty-red. And then sun shone and this rainbow lined my street. I came out with my camera and took a few shots. This is a panorama from 5 vertical images, which failed to get me in a better mood.
Nonetheless, I am always amazed by the fact how a bright rainbow can overcome dark, gloomy skies. It's so fuckin' heroic!
"... Hei de encontrá-los lá no céu da glória,
mundo tranquilo e celestial das almas,
porque este mundo ficou mui pequeno
para a menor de todas as suas cargas...
E estarão lá a galopar nos ventos
relâmpagos por lanças e, nessa hora,
hão de pechar as nuvens com seus fletes
num retinir de estrelas por esporas...
E farão trepidar o nosso céu
na carga heróica e eterna até o nada
e estarão junto de Deus, bem perto
e vigiando sempre, os de lança e guitarra ..."

And my favorite landscape picture from the Yellow Mountains.
It's possible I screamed my lungs out, out of amazement.
Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plácidas
De um povo heróico o brado retumbante,
E o sol da Liberdade, em raios fúlgidos,
Brilhou no céu da Pátria nesse instante.
Se o penhor dessa igualdade
Conseguimos conquistar com braço forte,
Em teu seio, ó Liberdade,
Desafia o nosso peito a própria morte!
Ó Pátria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve!
Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vívido
De amor e de esperança à terra desce,
Se em teu formoso céu, risonho e límpido,
A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece.
Gigante pela própria natureza,
És belo, és forte, impávido colosso,
E o teu futuro espelha essa grandeza
Terra adorada,
Entre outras mil,
És tu, Brasil,
Ó Pátria amada!
Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil,
Pátria amada,
Brasil!
Deitado eternamente em berço esplêndido,
Ao som do mar e à luz do céu profundo,
Fulguras, ó Brasil, florão da América,
Iluminado ao sol do Novo Mundo!
Do que a terra mais garrida
Teus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais flores;
"Nossos bosques têm mais vida",
"Nossa vida" no teu seio "mais amores".
Ó Pátria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve!
Brasil, de amor eterno seja símbolo
O lábaro que ostentas estrelado,
E diga o verde-louro desta flâmula
- Paz no futuro e glória no passado.
Mas, se ergues da justiça a clava forte,
Verás que um filho teu não foge à luta,
Nem teme, quem te adora, a própria morte.
Terra adorada
Entre outras mil,
És tu, Brasil,
Ó Pátria amada!
Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil,
Pátria amada,
Brasil!

All emergency services were in place and performed a heroic effort during the night.
This photo shows the top of an Aerial Ladder Truck just above the roof top. The yellow light is from the fire. A magic night sky in the background, makes the moment special.
No one was injured in this fire.
Third entry for Summer joust. This one was a lot of fun. The helmet for the knight took waaay to long to get right...wanted to give a little nod to Jonah www.flickr.com/photos/silmaril_1/ that designed the stunning poster for the joust. Didn't really realize there are no simple angles on it...haha! So the connections inside are...not stabile...but it works!
Anyways, hope you all like it :)
