Three Alaska railroad GP's prepare to load out the rest of the ARMS barge on a typical Whittier day. Cold, wet, and foggy pretty much sums up this all season port with the original military era housing standing in the background. One of the neat things about the Whittier switch stands is that they all are some how lit at the same time in this shot and no its not photoshopped. After loading is complete these three Gp's will depart under the cover of darkness for Anchorage.
Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees. The first to be scientifically described, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) about 1696–1697 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier, during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).

To be more precise this is Castle Augustusburg in Brühl (sometimes also called Augustusburg palace which sounds more like it looks like) - built as a weekend cottage by the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family in the 18th century. The castle is surrounded by extensive gardens and park grounds. From shortly after World War II until 1994, Augustusburg was used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President, as it is not far from Bonn, which was the capital of Germany at that time.The castle is protected by the international “Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural heritage”. I shot this on a photo safari with my friend during the only hour of good light yesterday.
Don't tell me my summer is gone
I feel like the cold had just left
Why do I lose all this time
Counting and counting the things I'll never do
Don't tell my summer is done
I've only just thought about opening the blinds
This year was supposed to be the one
What happened to my time
I'll sink in my throne
Choke on my words
Slave on these songs
Never to be heard
I'll be the one
With the sad tale
Beautiful start
Promise and fail
Don't tell me my summer is done
I feel like the cold had just left
Why do I lose all this time
Counting and counting the things I'll never do
Don't tell my summer is gone
I've only just thought about opening the blinds
This year was supposed to be the one
What happened to my time?

Taken in the Dahlia garden, near “De Piepermolen” te Rekken.
Maar hoe is dahliatuin in Rekken ontstaan?
In 2010 tijdens het 100-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest was er voor het eerst een dahliatuin bij de Piepermolen in Rekken. Een groep vrijwilligers heeft toen vanwege het 100-jarig jubileum van Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest een dahliatuin aangelegd met daarin 100 soorten dahlia’s. Unieke soorten die niet verwerkt worden op de (Rekkense) corsowagens. De belangstelling voor de dahliatuin was overweldigend. Een aantal vrijwilligers heeft daarom de koppen weer bij elkaar gestoken om enkele jaren later wederom een dahliatuin te kunnen realiseren. Zo werd er in 2014 voor de tweede keer een dahliatuin aangelegd bij de Piepermolen. Deze dahliatuin was met zijn 160 soorten nog groter dan de die in 2010. Ook nu weer was de dahliatuin aangekleed met diverse accessoires. De belangstelling bij de opening was groot en ook in weken, maanden daarna zijn er vele mensen geweest die een bezoek hebben gebracht aan de dahliatuin. De reacties waren ook nu weer zeer positief, dat zorgde ervoor dat de vrijwilligers toen al besloten dat de dahliatuin ook in de jaren daarna een vervolg zou gaan krijgen. En nu is dat moment aangebroken. De vrijwilligers zijn alweer bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de dahliatuin 2022. Dit jaar zullen er weer vele soorten dahlia’s te bewonderen zijn.
De vrijwilligers zijn ruim een half jaar druk bezig met de aanleg maar vooral met het onderhouden van de dahliatuin, zij houden zich bezig met o.a. het poten van de dahlia’s, het schoffelen, het plukken van de (slechte) bloemen en aan het einde van het seizoen, het uithalen van de knollen. Dit alles is zeer arbeidsintensief, de vrijwilligers zijn hier zeker één middag in de week mee bezig.

But how did the dahlia garden in Rekken come about?
In 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the Rekken Folk Festival Association (*Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest*), a dahlia garden was created for the first time at the Piepermolen in Rekken. To mark the association's 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers planted a garden featuring 100 varieties of dahlias—unique types not typically used on the local parade floats. Public interest in the dahlia garden was overwhelming. Consequently, a number of volunteers joined forces again to create another dahlia garden a few years later. Thus, in 2014, a second dahlia garden was established at the Piepermolen. With 160 varieties, this garden was even larger than the one from 2010. Once again, the garden was enhanced with various decorative elements. There was great interest at the opening, and many people visited the garden in the weeks and months that followed. The response was extremely positive, prompting the volunteers to decide right then that the dahlia garden would continue in future years. Now, that time has come again; the volunteers are already busy preparing for the 2022 dahlia garden. This year, many varieties of dahlias will once again be on display.
The volunteers spend more than six months hard at work—not only establishing the garden but, more importantly, maintaining it. Their tasks include planting the dahlias, hoeing, removing spent or damaged blooms, and lifting the tubers at the end of the season. All of this is very labor-intensive; the volunteers certainly spend one afternoon a week on it.

The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a charismatic species from Andean South America. It is found from Venezuela and Colombia in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species belongs to a monotypic genus, Ensifera, and is quite different from all other hummingbirds; metallic green and bronzed overall, with a black bill that is slightly upcurved and longer than the body length. This is the only bird species with a bill length that exceeds the body length. When seen perched, the species usually holds its bill quite upright, presumably because of balance issues stemming from this long and relatively heavy structure.

For me one of the most amazing hummingbirds of Ecuador! Taken at the amazing Zuro Loma Reserve.

This is me coming back. Never again will I allow someone to make me feel less. To tell me my face is to manly, my body doesn't look right, and my skin is not light enough....that I wear to many tattoos and piercings. My own insecurities are enough...never will another man add to them...Take me as I am, or keep walking. This is me finding me again.....this is me coming back.

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foro_Romano
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.

is a castle in Austria, considered one of Austria's most impressive medieval castles. It is on a 172-metre (564 ft) high dolomite rock near Sankt Georgen am Längsee, east of the town of Sankt Veit an der Glan in Carinthia. The rock castle is one of the state's landmarks and a major tourist attraction.
The castle was first mentioned in a deed of donation from King Ludwig the German from the year 860, when Friesach and several farms were donated to the diocese of Salzburg. Among them was a farm near Osterwitz (curtis ad Astaruizza). The castle is mentioned in the oldest documents, dated between the 11th and 12th centuries, and also during the attacks of the Turkish peoples in the 15th century as a place of refuge for the population. Initially owned by Count Ceizolf von Spanheim, a descendant of the German Emperor Arnulf von Karantanien, known as the first Donor von Osterwitz, the castle remains in his family's possession. After the death of Hans Schenk von Osterwitz on May 30, 1478, the last of his tribe, his property passed to King Friedrich III. return.
Here is one of the captures from my recent trip to Ricketts Glen, PA that I played with in Lightroom by reducing the saturation of color by 33%. I liked the resulting moody tones and colors. It was very green and luscious ... but this is a more subdued view allowing us to focus more on the waterfall and less on the surroundings.

Peter's Pool is a kettle lake made by Franz Josef Glacier, in the Westland National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. Together with Fox Glacier—located 20 kilometres away—the glaciers extend from the Southern Alps to the valley floor less than 300 metres above sea level.
The lake was formed by melting glacial ice around 200 years ago. The water is highly reflective and provides stunning views of the glacial valley containing Franz Josef Glacier.
Jasper is a dog of passions, one of which is frisbee. He gives each catch he goes for 100% effort. And when he's done, he's done. There is no giving a catch 50% effort because he's getting tired. He either gives 100% or 0%. No middle ground.

Warm-colored thrush, with bright reddish-brown tones above, buffy breast, and white belly. Spots are indistinct and washed out, concentrating on upper breast. Beautiful song is cascading spiral of flute-like notes. Found in a variety of wooded habitats, often favoring wetter areas. Winters in South and Central America; very rare in the U.S. after October, unlike Hermit Thrush. (eBird)

The trail was cool and dim, and the Veery thought he was alone, but we were there and got the photo to prove it. Another of the elusive thrushes caught on camera. I love their call and have missed seeing or hearing over the past couple of years. It seems that they have moved from the trail near me to this one which is usually so mosquite-infested that I avoid it.

Took this shot of the giraffe at Mapumgubwe, peeping at us before it went down to the waterhole to drink. I couldn't help but be amused by the expression on its face. We were in a hide but clearly it knew we were there despite the fact we were silent.

The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK. (RSPB)
“Easter is…
Joining in a birdsong,
Eying an early sunrise,
Smelling yellow daffodils,
Unbolting windows and doors,
Skipping through meadows,
Cuddling newborns,
Hoping, believing,
Reviving spent life,
Inhaling fresh air,
Sprinkling seeds along furrows,
Tracking in the mud.
Easter is the soul’s first taste of spring.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
