OK - I think it's interesting. If you disagree, I couldn't care less. It's all about ME!
Anyway, I saw something on an Eagle that I have never seen before. I never read about it either, although I am too lazy to open a book to look.
Bald Eagles go through a rather fixed molting pattern. In their first year, they molt most (but not all) of their juvenile wing (primary) feathers. The feathers that remain from their juvenile plumage are a bit longer and leave a characteristic jagged trailing edge to the wings. The remaining feathers are always the same, if you care to count. A photo of such a bird is shown below.
The photo above is of an ALMOST adult Bald Eagle. It has just the tiniest traces of sub-adult / immature plumage left (a touch of black at the tip of the tail, a tiny amount of white feathers on the underwings). If you look VERY closely, you will see the SAME molt pattern on the trailing edge of the wing (i.e. the same primary feathers are just the tiniest bit longer).
Adult birds have shorter primaries than juveniles, giving them a much narrower, longer-winged look.
BTW - Conowingo was REALLY slow (and cold) again on Sunday. It looks like the show is coming to an end for the season. Hopefully, there will be a few days (or at least a few more good looks) left.
Notice how this photo looks EXACTLY like the previous photo only a zillion times better (even though this is an unprocessed, small JPEG)? That's what a better camera, better lens and a tripod will do for you.
I'm making progress on my new website:

Interesting sight at Lee on 30 March 2017 as we see 73109 and 73108 passing on 1Z71, UKRT's "Ye Olde Black Friar" tour from Blackfriars to various Southern branches.
Interesting ad comparing the new Corcel GT to the Mustang, Cougar, Escort, Cortina and other Ford GT models. None of those models were offered in Brazil. I wonder if the photo was taken in Brazil or in Dearborn?
This is a small Park near our house where I often walk. One late afternoon I noticed these awesome clouds developing so I grabbed my stuff & headed out
We spent a short while, here, at New Barnetby waiting for 6T26 to Scunthorpe but sadly it was suddenly cancelled due to a breakdown. I had lined up a shot to include this sign, we surmised it to be a Whistle Board for the nearby level crossing although the Tamper didn't! Anyone any ideas? It had no writing on the other side. 6J31 Scunthorpe Frodingham to Scunthorpe F.D.
I've long been fascinated by timberframe construction techniques. I even like the newer, imitation forms that show up on trellises, pergolas, and gazebos throughout the western U.S. This particular bit of bolted-together trellis and architectural stone is actually on the back of one of the buildings in a retail center just down the hill from my office.

One of the most interesting signs I've come across at the entrance to a haulage yard was this example which graced one belonging to the Cuban Ministry of Agriculture. It carries an excellent representation of the British built Leyland lorries which worked out of it... which I presume to be six wheeler Hippos with 'ergomatic' cabs.
A very interestingly painted boxcar sits in Whitefish Yard as a dense snow falls all around. I don't know what purpose this car has, if it is a unique car at all, or what its deal is. If you have info on it please leave a comment as I would like to know.
Jasper, Alberta the start of my 2rd day of my journey across Canada by VIA train. October 2018. We arrived before dawn and it was -9c when I got of the train to take a walk around.
The window are not very clean so the photos are not that good. Also the train was speeding along at times and really bumpy. I have put all the photos I took on my journey on Flickr as a record of my trip.
Serpent detail on the west door.
Unfortunately for me, I could not get inside of Bishop's Cleeve church on this particular Saturday, as there was a wedding taking place. I had to make do with the exterior of this church, which luckily has some interesting features.
Bishop's Cleeve is a medium sized town just to the north of Cheltenham. I had made my way there from Tewkesbury, across flat countryside, with the Cotswold hills rising to the east. It was around midday by the time I arrived, and the weather was fine, despite storms being forcast.
I drove in through new housing estates of the usual mock georgian variety that have sprung up all over the country in the last 20 years. I could have been anywhere. It was not until I reached the centre of town that some local character appeared, with older houses built from local stone.
St. Michael's itself is quite large, and sits in a spacious and well maintained churchyard. The chancel is 14thc. decorated, and has a lovely east window which I photographed enthusiastically, only to find out later that it is 19thc. Still the tracery is very beautiful I think. The central tower was rebuilt in the 18thc. after the original one collapsed. But it is the norman features of this church, which make the exterior really special. I first looked at the south doorway, which is inside a nice little porch with norman arcading. The upper arch of this doorway is decorated with two snakes, each curled around, with their downward facing heads eating birds. There is also two orders of chevrons and one that is embattled, and good carved capitals. The west front is also norman, and has another door with chevrons and snakes, not quite as fine as the south one though.
I left St. Michael's a little disappointed that I hadn't seen the interior. Apparently there is an interesting room above the porch which is worth seeing. I might have to come back at some point.

Apparently Charleigh broke up with her boyfriend and needed some photo therapy. We go back a long time and my wife and I consider Charleigh family so we said let's do it. What a fun shoot! Charleigh is such a free spirit, a delight to shoot with, beautiful, and adventurous. I took these photos in mid-December 2021.
Kramer: "All right! OK! Right, here we go. Yeah. OK, so... 'For sale. A big... juicy... van.' And, ooh, you gotta put down, 'interesting trades considered."
Jerry: "I don't want to trade."
Kramer: "No, you don't have to. It's all about tickling their buying bone."
All things considered, I'd like to trade, but I'm a sharing sort of person, so I'll send you one even if you don't have any to give in return. I'm just happy that people take an interest.
(At least) 2 of each design to trade. Leave a small note on the card you'd like, and Flickrmail me your address info, along with a link to your cards if you have them.
Happy trading! :-)

FYI- I was so happy with these when I FINALLY received them that I have another set coming (with extra copies of Buddharose and Al the Cat as friends and family snagged those right away).
Update: Al and Buddharose are taken (for now). I still have copies left of the rest.
This photo comes with an interesting story... I am railfanning the Stockton Sub on a rainy and dark day with a friend who is not into trains but didn't mind the drive. We are located at Dodds Road southeast of Stockton. While at the crossing waiting for a BNSF freight to accelerate out of Mormon Yard, a young man with a very large telephoto walks up and I assume he is a railfan. I saw him on the other side of the crossing with the camera, he asks what we are doing and I explain we like the trains. He nods walks away, turns and tells us the BNSF Police and San Joaquin County Sheriff have been called on us. We look at each other and decide to wait it out since driving away may seem suspicious. Sure enough the Sheriff shows up hand on gun asking to drop the camera and give us ID. We of course comply and get our names run through the system. The sheriff returns jolly and asks why we like trains? We explain we're from the Bay Area and wanted photos. The officer tells us theft and robbery of farm equipment had been occurring. We acknowledge him and ensure we are just there to take pictures. He leaves and I tell him to talk to the young farmer. We leave, and I haven't been back since. Looks like there's A LOT of crime going on in San Joaquin County and Stockton... #8 Most Dangerous City in the U.S. C'mon people!

EDIFICIO FÓRUM Museu Blau Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Cataluña
Plaza de Leonardo da Vinci 4-5 y Plaza del Levante, Parc del Forum. Barcelona
Arquitectos: Herzog & de Meuron (Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron) concurso de proyectos 2001. Finalización obras 2004
El Fórum Universal de las Culturas, celebra su primera edición en 2004 en Barcelona por lo que es también conocido como Fórum de Barcelona. La idea de organizar este evento surge a propuesta de la Ciudad de Barcelona en 1996, y en 1997 la Conferencia General de la UNESCO aprueba el proyecto sobre tres ejes temáticos, el desarrollo sostenible, las condiciones para la paz y la diversidad cultural. El recinto del Fórum se ubicó en un espacio de 30 Has., en el inicio de la avenida Diagonal, cercano a la desembocadura del río Besós, en terrenos ganados al mar frente al litoral del Barrio del Besós y del Maresme en Barcelona y en San Adrián de Besós, una parcela al norte de la ciudad de Barcelona formada por unos terrenos olvidados y marginales frente al Mediterráneo. La intervención ordena los nuevos espacios públicos, realiza los edificios destinados a la celebración del evento y sirve de base y foco al futuro desarrollo urbanístico de toda la zona.
Consta inicialmente de dos grandes edificaciones, el Edificio Fórum de los arquitectos suizos Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron, y el Centro de Convenciones Internacional de Barcelona. En estos espacios se celebraron congresos y diversas exposiciones de gran formato. Entre los edificios se extiende una inmensa plaza de 16 hectáreas, donde se desarrollaron las principales actividades del acontecimiento, situada sobre una gran estación depuradora. Tras la celebración del evento se edificó una estructura con paneles de captación solar, que se suman a la gran placa solar fotovoltaica situada en uno de los extremos de la explanada, junto al mar. Esta plaza fue galardonada con el premio al mejor Hiper-Proyecto en la Bienal de arquitectura de Venecia. El recinto del Fórum incluye un gran puerto deportivo. También incluye dos parques y una zona de baños, formada por diversas piscinas de agua del mar. Uno de los parques, diseñado por el prestigioso arquitecto español Alejandro Zaera Polo, aprovecha el desnivel que hay entre la plaza y el mar para generar un sistema de dunas artificiales donde se integran dos auditorios al aire libre.
El Edificio Fórum, conocido ahora como Museu Blau, un prisma con base en un triángulo equilátero de 180 metros de lado y 25 de altura, es obra de los arquitectos suizos Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron. El edificio construido en dos capas, destina la superior a los espacios de exposición y queda sustentada en 17 puntos de apoyo para crear un espacio público cubierto a nivel de calle. La planta superior se encuentra perforada por múltiples claraboyas o patios que atraviesan el edificio para iluminar el espacio inferior, creando diferentes ángulos de visión y cambiantes juegos de luz. Además dispone de un auditorio subterráneo de 3.200 plazas y de una sala de exposiciones de 5.000 m2. El subterráneo conecta con el Centro Internacional de Convenciones. La cubierta está formada por una lámina de agua de escasa profundidad que se utiliza de aislante térmico. Su fachada está terminada en un enfoscado rugoso de color azul añil con diversas franjas de vidrio que recuerdan el agua derramándose desde la lámina superior. La planta baja, a la Plaza, se panela mediante placas de acero refinado pulido que irradia en color plata; el auditorio subterráneo luce en azul mediante acero refinado en ese color, y la capilla brilla en un dorado realizado en acero inoxidable metalizado con nitrito de titanio. Un desafío especial consistió en dar forma a los 28.000 elementos triangulares del techo: el patrón estampado pasa de un triángulo a otro, desplegándose en más de 14.000 m² en una renovación constante ya que cada triángulo es único, empleándose acero inoxidable de alta calidad.
Desde el 2005 acoge un museo sobre el futuro de la ciudad de Barcelona y el desarrollo sostenible, y desde 2011 el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Cataluña. Herzog & de Meuron también fueron responsables de la adaptación y de su diseño museográfico.
