A rare look inside the "Radio Center" building in Tokyo's Akihabara ("Electric Town") district. The site was one of the early homes to Tokyo's postwar radio and electronics boom. The building itself is about 50 years old.

As the name would indicate, this egret fits between the Great Egret and the Little Egret, for size. This one seen in the shallows of a fresh water pond.

Utilized Prismacolor Blender Pencil and Prismacolor Blender Marker. Dedicated to my mom, who has been so generous and supportive to me during the pandemic. The object was one of the many potted succulents that my mom loved to arrange at her entryway. The photo of taken by my Art Teacher/Mentor, Helen Yang. This couldn’t have been done without the encouragement and creative input of my husband and my two little ones, who finally let Mommy work on this only after they have fallen asleep.
BNSF's eastbound Provo-Denver manifest passes by the intermediate signal at MP 14.6, just west of Leyden. The train will have a clear shot to run the rest of the way in to Denver after meeting the Rocky Mountaineer at Plain.

Ardea intermedia
A bird that I often see and rarely photograph, and thus I was happy to photograph it 'on the wing'.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Intermediate egret
Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia
Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.
Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.
Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.
Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.
Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.
Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

I've always been fond of these Southern Railway-style intermediates with the offset lower head, but the few that remain seem to be in tough places to shoot. Either they're almost inaccessible, or like this pair there's just a very narrow window of time for when the sun angle works.
Of course, this pair is on borrowed time anyway with NS filing to tear out the CTC between Birmingham and Sheffield.
CN 327 with CSXT 5414 & CSXT 451 for power is splitting a pair of intermediate signals at MP 14.7 of CN's Kingson Sub which just entered service during the last couple of weeks.

I like bird photography. It is obvious when bird moves, the picture gets blurry a little bit. I used 500mm lens. It is quite a long lens for the bird photography. My target is to take images as sharp as I can. The longer lens is more challenging with moving subjects. The Nikon D5 has a better autofocus system and can get sharp images like this. I hope this year I take better bird images.
Soon to be taken down, the intermediate block signals days are numbered. The new "Vader signals can be seen in the distance and will soon be in operation.
Here BNSF 6198 leads this SLC coal load south past the intermediate siginal 61.9 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Foley, Mo.
Most of the new signals south of this location have already been activated. The line north has been re-blocked in accordance with the new siding "Burns" in Clarksville, Mo.

If you want to experience an almost lonely Christ the Redeemer Statue on top of Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro you simply have to wait until shortly after sunset. Before sunset there are lots and lots of tourists up there obstracting your view of this huge statue.
For some strange reason this place becomes almost deserted minutes after sunset. Why? I have no idea. It's a lot more interesting and beautiful on Corcovado mountain when almost no one else is around you. And the city lights of Rio make for a fantastic scene as well!
The only negative point might be that you have to hurry to catch the last train down to Cosme Velho station.
Just minutes after I took this shot some of the employee ladies called to get us on the last Corcovado train downhill. We were only 4 tourists left and the train started to descend downward.
At about 1/3 of the track the train suddenly and unexpectedly (before the scheduled intermediate halt) stopped and all lights went out. It was pitch black at night in the Tijuca forest, the windows were all open and one could hear the sounds of some strange animals. In the (not too far) distance one could see the lights of a small favela. Very eerie! After 2 or 3 minutes the train luckily continued its way downhill...
Intermediate egret at the Jerrabomberra wetlands today. There were three white-faced herons trying to share the same feeding ground, but the egret would have none of it, and spent as much time chasing the herons as it did feeding.
Since the wetlands have been "improved", i.e. made more people friendly, one has to be early and quick to get a few shots in before the binoculared mob arrive with their lists and loud voices.

Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?

I really struggled with its plumage in the early morning light. I feel it’s 'blown out' too much?
Intermediate Egrets (Ardea intermedia) Intermediate Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
