The shabtis of Amenhotep are made of blue faience and refined with black paint. The character of shabtis as workers is shown by the hoes hanging from the hands of the statuettes and by the baskets slung over their backs. Vertical inscriptions placed on the front of the figures bear the name of the owner of the shabtis, Amenhotep, a very important figure in Thebes at the time. Among his titles, he held the office of the chief scribe of the temple of Amon.

An eastbound on the CN South Bend Sub splits the intermediates, a few miles west of Sedley in Porter County, Indiana, on August 09, 2013. These signals were put in when CTC was installed on the old GTW in the 1990s.
Keoladeo National Park is the most famous birding park in India. It is home to more than 230 species of birds and hosts thousands of birds during the migratory flights each year. It is a man made wetland and a World Heritage Site.

The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.
Thanks to my friend Tyler for the chance to see some rare power on CP in the year 2013! CP 9134 & SOO 6044.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a visit to Buckley's Hole. Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.

Passing an intermediate upper quadrant signal between Ambleside and Yantaringa is C501,C506 hauling 4MA3 goods.
the site is now part of the Ambleside crossing loop
Widespread resident. Smaller than the Great Egret, with shorter bill and neck. Black gape line does not extend beyond eye as in the Great. Bill is black and lores yellow green during courtship. (Bill black-tipped yellow and lores yellow in non-breeding adult). Usually in small flocks, but separate while foraging. Hunts chiefly by slow stalking.
Compare with the Cattle Egret, which is a little smaller than this egret.

Pilatus Bahnen AG: the Pilatus rack railway connects Alpnachstadt (440 meters above sea level) to the summit of Mount Pilatus (2,073 meters above sea level), with a 800 mm gauge single track and a length of 4.8 km. This is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48%, and has some features that make it unique. It uses the Locher rack system with side pinions, since conventional rack-and-pinion systems with vertical pinions did not provide the safety of the gears tracing the rack on the strongest ramps. Due to the use of the Locher rack system, the wheels of the original steam railcars did not have flanges on the wheels at first, although later all the wheels were endowed with external flanges, and not inside flanges as is usual on all railways. Therefore, the switches are also not conventional, and instead of having moving parts, are enormous devices that move laterally, or are turned over.
The line was put into service on June 4, 1889, and electrification at 1550 V DC was put into service on May 15, 1937.
The service is currently provided with twelve railcars. In 1937 SLM and MFO built eight electric passengers railcars (numbers Beh 1/2 21-28). In 1954, SLM built a freight electric railcar (Ohe 1/2 31), although it is normally used as a passenger car after the construction of a body with the number 29 in 1962. In 1968 SLM built the last electric passengers railcar, the number Beh 1/2 30. Finally, in 1981 Stadler built the diesel departmental railcar Xhm 1/2 32.
The railway is operated by means of the "train package" system: two convoys are formed of several railcars that run in driving on sight mode between them. At the intermediate station of Ämsigen cross the ascending and descending convoys.
