Rocher de la Vierge, Biarritz, Aquitaine, France.
La Roca de la Virgen, en francés Rocher de la Vierge es un arrecife rocoso de la costa atlántica francesa, coronado por una estatua blanca de la Virgen con el niño rodeado de agua. Se trata de uno de los monumentos más famosos de la localidad costera de Biarritz.
La estatua de la Virgen María se colocó en lo alto de un afloramiento rocoso en el mar en 1864 para conmemorar el regreso seguro de los pescadores locales y actuar como patrona para apoyarlos en el futuro.
Debido al especial cariño de la emperatriz Eugenia por el pintoresco antiguo pueblo de pescadores, la pareja imperial francesa se alojaba regularmente en el palacio de Biarritz (hoy Hôtel du Palais1), recién construido como residencia de verano. De Napoleón III. surgió la idea de conectar la Roca de la Virgen con el continente por medio de un puente. Gustave Eiffel implementó este plan en 1887 y creó un puente de hierro que se puede caminar sobre tablones de madera; además, se hizo un túnel por debajo de la roca.
The Rock of the Virgin, in French Rocher de la Vierge is a rocky reef on the French Atlantic coast, crowned by a white statue of the Virgin with child surrounded by water. It is one of the most famous monuments in the seaside town of Biarritz.
The statue of the Virgin Mary was placed atop a rocky outcrop in the sea in 1864 to commemorate the safe return of local fishermen and to act as a patroness to support them in the future.
Due to Empress Eugénie's special affection for the picturesque former fishing village, the French imperial couple regularly stayed at the Biarritz Palace (now the Hôtel du Palais1), newly built as a summer residence. Of Napoleon III. the idea arose to connect the Rock of the Virgin with the mainland by means of a bridge. Gustave Eiffel implemented this plan in 1887 and created an iron bridge that can be walked on wooden planks; in addition, a tunnel was made under the rock.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by English rock band Oasis. Released on 2 October 1995 by Creation Records, it was produced by Owen Morris and the group's guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher.
Noel Gallagher summed up his own perspective on the album's aesthetic in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1995; "Whilst [Definitely Maybe] is about dreaming of being a pop star in a band, What's the Story is about actually being a pop star in a band." The album has a notable anthemic theme to its songs, differing from the raw-edged rock of Definitely Maybe. The use of string arrangements and more varied instrumentation in songs such as "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" was a significant departure from the band's debut. This style had first been implemented by the band on their fifth single, "Whatever", released in December 1994. It was produced in conjunction with the London Symphony Orchestra, resulting in a much more pop-oriented and mellower sound; this would be the template that would come to define many of the songs on What's the Story. In the BBC documentary Seven Ages of Rock, former NME chief editor Steve Sutherland noted that "with Morning Glory, [Noel] began to take seriously the notion of being the voice of a generation"
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is one of my all-time favorite albums.

One might wax eloquent on the migratory powers of our Hoverfly! It has been found flying over the Ocean more than 200 km from the coast. But even more interesting is a discovery made in 2015 in Spain by Antonio Robledo, head of research&development of Biobest Sistemas Biológicos. Researching pest control on paprika in greenhouses, he found that Eupeodes corollae is an excellent natural assistant to farmers. Its larvae feed on the aphids that terrorise those pepper plants. And besides the adult Hoverfly is an excellent pollinator for the flowers that will yield the peppery fruits. A dual purpose insect and eco-friendly, too. In 2019 Robledo's discovery began to be implemented on an industrial scale.
In the photo Eupeodes is not 'working' - perhaps on migratory holiday from Spain - but indulging on Oxalis articulata, Pink Sorrel, in the Amsterdam Hortus.
This vintage John Deere tractor sits on display at the Guy Goodwin Education Center in Carrizo Plain National Monument, San Luis Obispo County, California. Cattle were brought to the grasslands of the Carrizo Plain by the early 1850s. The next big change came in 1885 when dryland grain farmers started homesteading in the valley. Eventually vast amounts of the grassland was put to the plow. The farm work was orignally all done with horse drawn euipment but eventually tractors like this one did the heavy work. The Carrizo Plain gets only 8 to 10 inches of rainfall a year on average but the amount during any given year can be highly unpredictable. The risk of crop failure due to insufficient moisture became too great for many farmers and most of their farming efforts were abandoned. In the last few decades many of the homesteads were bought and became part of the National Monument which is administered by the BLM.
Day 354. After spending a couple of days feeling under the weather and stuck in the house, I went on a short ride round the local woods with my son. We pass through a farm yard where there was laid out a random collection of rusty bit and pieces. I took a wider shot that's elsewhere on my photosteam, but for this shot I closed in on the rather intriguing pattern and texture of the of this old rusty implement that I guess was used to turn the soil on the field.

The Waldspirale is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany, built in the 1990s. The name translates into English as forest spiral, reflecting both the general plan of the building and the fact that it has a green roof. It was designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, planned and implemented by architect Heinz M. Springmann. The building was completed in 2000.

Severinstraße
The “Nord-Süd” urban railway in Cologne not only improves Cologne’s inner-city flow of traffic but also features new architecture. In order to give every stop an unmistakable appearance, the planning of the station structures was awarded to different architects. The Severinstraße Station opened in December 2015 was implemented by kister scheithauer gross architekten.

Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.

An extreme close up of the working side of a meat tenderiser.
Last week my son and I were making schnitzel. He had the job of bashing the pork loins and he commented that the tenderiser looked like a Cluedo murder weapon: Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the meat tenderiser!

"Spreading a Little Sunshine" in Capitol Reef National Park.
I photographed this vintage farm implement, an old manure spreader, in a park that includes a lot of agricultural history. I grew up using a more modern version of this spreader, on our family dairy farm in eastern Oregon. Ours was pulled by a tractor, rather than a team of horses. Ours used the Power-Take-Off (PTO) from the tractor to convey the manure to the spinning tines at the end, which flung the dung out into the field; whereas, theirs was powered just by the horses and those large wheels connected to a series of gears. Either way, you didn't want to be near those spinning teeth at the back end, or you'd get "sunshine" in your face!
The hardest part of creating this photo was making sure the Photopills app was correctly calibrated on my cell phone, so that my Blue Hour camera/tripod alignment shot was correct for the Milky Way core, which wouldn't be visible for another 90 minutes.

Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.
Today, I’m implementing a new policy that should please some of my Flickr friends.
I have been wearing some of you down with my voluminous series. Today, that stops.
Oh, I’m not going to quit telling stories, just not on Flickr. Here, I’ll post one photo of a bird, animal, place, or subject at a time, along with a link to my blog, where I’ll put the story and additional related photos. The links will take you out of Flickr for a moment, but you can easily return from my blog by clicking the return link there.
birdsandmusings.wordpress.com/2017/04/10/welcome-to-birds...
Perhaps no one will elect to go to the blog. At least, however, folks will have a better opportunity to do what I think most Flickr users want to do: quickly pop in to see what a Flickr friend is seeing, then quickly move on to the next....
If you have any feedback on this notion, I’d love to hear it....
Cheers! Have a great day! 😊

This scene kind of gives you the sense these old tractors would like to make one last run.They likely gave their owners many years of reliable service.Hopefully they will be purchased and lovingly restored...they surely deserve it.

A duo of Norfolk Southern C40-9Ws take UP's Houston-Brownsville, TX manifest MEWOL-15 down the West Belt Sub, passing CP Rusk in East Downtown Houston. This was likely the first time in over a year that an NS unit has led an Angleton Sub train. NS power was quite common on these manifests until early 2019 when the simultaneous implementation of PSR and PTC virtually prevented these lashups from happening.
