With the decline of the Old Kingdom, some of the strong tradition of handicraft is lost and local variations in style dominates in art objects and reliefs from the tombs of the elite. This can be seen in this offering stele and tomb relief from the First Intermediate that are not performed in the same high quality and throughness as were charasteristics for the Old Kingdom.

Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show presents the 34th Annual Wildlife Carving Competition and Art Fair
Clatsop County Fairgrounds & Expo Center, Astoria, Oregon.
September 23 & 24, 2023.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It all began with an idea to show the beauty of hand-carved waterfowl and wildlife.
Since 1988, the Columbia Flyway Show has been a labor of love for the Feather and Quill Carvers Club. The show has progressed from meager beginnings in the Columbia Art Center, a converted old church basement, to motel conference rooms, to the City of Vancouver's Water Resources Education Center. The show has enjoyed a wonderful 10-year run in Vancouver.
After the hugely successful 2019 show, the event has outgrown the Center. After two non-show years due to the Covid Virus, the 2022 event was held in Astoria, Oregon, on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
The Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show has become one of the premier wildlife carving shows in the country as a result of the dedication of a small group of carvers and artists, as well as membership in the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. Carvers come from all over the U.S. and Canada to participate in the competition and to share with and learn from other carvers and artists.
The new venue, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center feature a new, spacious 15,000 s/f exhibit hall. Due to the size of the Expo Center, there is ample room for displays, vendors, and demos.
A large part of the success of the Flyway Show is the ongoing seminars by Professional and World Champion carvers. Friday is dedicated to a full-day, hands-on pay class. Saturday and Sunday find non-stop free and pay seminars open to all visitors.
The banquet is held in the showroom on Saturday evening. Good food, fun, and fellowship are followed by the after-dinner auction. A wonderful evening in a beautiful setting!
This new venue is picture-perfect with every amenity for a show focusing on wildlife art. Astoria, Oregon, located at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, is rich in history. Astoria is a wonderful area to enjoy all the sites of the beautiful Oregon Coast. Lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist sights to enjoy.
Make your plans now to attend the wildlife carving show, “ON THE OTHER COAST”.
Mirrors removed, hay (grasscloth wallpaper) removed, edge wallpaper removed, need to strip foil grasscloth backer paper and skim coat before painting.

Twilight is a great time to capture the small details of railroading. At CP 691 on BNSF's Needles Sub, the intermediate signal guarding track one is silhouetted against a clear, sylvan, setting sky.

The Intermediate Egret, Median Egret,[2] Smaller Egret[3] or Yellow-billed Egret (Mesophoyx intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Ardea. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian Subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the Great Egret and smaller white egrets like the Little Egret and Cattle Egret, though nearer to Little than Great. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c.400g (14 oz),[4] with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
