Its a jungle out there...

Quiriguá is an ancient Maya archaeological site in the department of Izabal in south-eastern Guatemala.
It is a medium-sized site covering approximately 3 square kilometres along the lower Motagua River, with the ceremonial center about 1 km from the north bank.
During the Maya Classic Period (AD 200–900), Quiriguá was situated at the juncture of several important trade routes. The site was occupied by 200, construction on the acropolis had begun by about 550, and an explosion of grander construction started in the 8th century. All construction had halted by about 850, except for a brief period of reoccupation in the Early Postclassic (c. 900 – c. 1200). Quiriguá shares its architectural and sculptural styles with the nearby Classic Period city of Copán, with whose history it is closely entwined.
Quiriguá's rapid expansion in the 8th century was tied to king K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat's military victory over Copán in 738. When the greatest king of Copán, Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil or "18-Rabbit", was defeated, he was captured and then sacrificed in the Great Plaza at Quiriguá.
Before this, Quiriguá had been a vassal state of Copán, but it maintained its independence afterwards. The ceremonial architecture at Quiriguá is quite modest, but the site's importance lies in its wealth of sculpture, including the tallest stone monumental sculpture ever erected in the New World.

How do they stand against a railing that is vertical? Should we harvest the chemical that's on the bottom of their tiny feet? Happy Perplexing Fenced Friday!
Pepper looking handsome by the Acanthus. My favorite Pepper portrait this year!
Pepper is stationed to keep a stern eye on neighborhood cat Brownie, and defend the yard against this younger new interloper. Brownie is up on a fence juncture not far from this viewpoint. Added to Happy Caturday 16 Jan 2021 “Basic Instincts” (since this was taken just after the 2020 best portrait of the year Caturday theme :-) ) I also have pix showing Brownie but there’s too much going on from that distance in the photo for it to be anything other than a Historical Record picture.
On this day in modern history, relatively fresh out of the box 37025 "Inverness TMD" passes the waiting gallery at Pilning with the 4B20 08.37 Barry-Barry via Swindon (curtailed at Bristol Parkway due to low fuel, apparently) driver training run, consisting of 5 HHA coal hoppers.
It's hard to believe this shot was taken exactly five years ago to the date of this upload, which prompted me to reassess my original edit, especially as this location is no longer possible as part of the GWML electrification scheme. This was part of a series of turns operated by 37025 during January 2016 and I was fortunate to capture on a couple of occasions in perfect winter sunshine, including this well-turned out juncture. Only two words are needed in summary - ABSOLUTELY HELLFIRE!!! (Re-uploaded image)
The meadow is in a part of Erba Park near the juncture of the Regnitz River and the park creek known as the fish pass. Captured about an hour after noon on a day at the end of May a few years ago, and now re-edited. [DSC02112_lr_3000]
Thank you all for your clicks, comments and faves.
Today I had the pleasure of spending time with one of my dearest friends at Buttonwoods Farm in Connecticut. These junctures are fleeting as the sunflowers in this immense field will soon become a deliberate act of omission. Within the last week many of the sunflowers have already succumbed to an early grave.
Life is about a cycle of birth and death. Both of them usher in change. Beauty can be found with your eyes anywhere you choose to focus. From a fallen leaf within autumn's blanket, to the blossoming of life shortly after winters departure.
Greeting to my virtual friends that give the greatest gift; their time commenting, faving and dreaming.
From a series of macro dandelion shots I did recently. A bit of a commentary on we as a society at this juncture in history.
Wow! This is my very first look at a Dark-eyed Junco...I'd always wanted to see one, and was thrilled when this one chose Janice's yard for a daylong visit yesterday! It popped up onto the limb and posed the moment I walked up!
The process of moving the peasants, though, did not go as planned. Not enough land was made available for farming. The new vicinati did not feel like the courtyards of Matera—they were not placed at the juncture of several houses, so residents did not naturally spill into them. Ambitions flagged, and builders began putting up ordinary apartment complexes.
In 1961, a reporter for La Stampa found the Sassi empty but for a man and his lonely mule, which had been “made melancholy,” its owner speculated, by the disappearance of the people it had known. In the article, the director of local tourism suggested, hopefully, that the Sassi should become a museum. The newspaper later reported that locals wanted to use cement to bury the Sassi—or dynamite to blow up the area. Such radical measures turned out not to be necessary. Long before the caves were empty, the oldest ones began crumbling, and the government began fencing them off. Matera’s ancient settlement appeared to be coming to an end.
After a run to Johnsonburg, WJRE is almost home with the WAJO freight in tow. This was one of the very few times that an SD60 led south of Warren in daylight. For a while, due to reasons unexplained, getting the four or five four-axle locomotives that we need in Warren was difficult. At some juncture someone decided to send 3887 to Warren to have a PDI installed, so once we got our hands on it we ran it for a week or so before we had to let it go free, at which point I actually had to start paying attention to our tonnage again! The night prior my beloved WAJO got annulled due to storms hitting the railroad hard. Being the tree tunnel that the A&E is, this was a good decision. WJRE ended up doing the run the next morning, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch the 0700 crew doing my work, with a 60 leading back no less!

As Io caterpillars near pupation, they turn yellow... and I seldom catch them at that critical juncture, so it's always an eye opener to come across one!
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile—the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues.

'Our' Singapore Airlines flight
arrives back in Brisbane. Captured soon after a 6.50am disembarkation.
At this juncture, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the crew of Singapore Airlines for their kind, efficient and friendly service. They really are a good airline to fly with.
I also took the opportunity to thank the Captain and Co-Pilot of this flight as they walked by seconds later. They mentioned that the A350 is a great aircraft. As a passenger I think it is too.
The island nation of Iceland sits at the juncture where the 2 giant tectonic plates, the Eurasian plate and the North American plate, meet. Members of my photo workshop can be seen standing on the Eurasian plate, with the North American plate towing up in the background. Quite literally, it is like being in Europe and North America at the same time! Although most of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is located underwater, portions of it extend above sea level, as shown here.
The section of the ridge that includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The ridge has an average spreading rate of about 2.5 cm per year.
This little tree at the juncture of two different farmer's croplands often gets lost by corn or weeds in the summer months.
This was taken on New Year's Day as the morning mist drifted across the snow and valleys.
There were so many photographic opportunities that morning and later that day when I went hunting for ice caves!
