The wood storks were on the endangered species list for awhile but seem to have made an incredible comeback . These are the birds that have taken over the nesting island this past week here and it is now much easier for me to understand their great comeback as when it comes to nesting and finding a place they are quite aggressive.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and blessed weekend !!

I'm finally getting around to editing more of the photos from our summer trip to Montana. An eastbound BNSF mixed freight is crossing the Two Medicine River trestle just east of East Glacier Park Village. The village is about 12 miles east of the summit of Marias Pass on the High Line Subdivision. The bridge checks in at roughly 200' above the river and a little over 1000' long. The mountains in the background are at the south end of Glacier National Park. Unfortunately we were a little too late for peak wildflower color and a little too early for hiking in the higher elevations without winter boots and snow shoes.

Looking down the River Avon towards the Grade I Listed Pulteney Bridge in Bath, Somerset.
Pulteney Bridge was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides.
Within 20 years of its construction, alterations were made that expanded the shops and changed the façades. By the end of the 18th century it had been damaged by floods, but it was rebuilt to a similar design. Over the next century alterations to the shops included cantilevered extensions on the bridge's north and south faces. In the 20th century several schemes were carried out to preserve the bridge and partially return it to its original appearance, enhancing its appeal as a tourist attraction.
The bridge is now 45 metres (148 ft) long and 18 metres (58 ft) wide. Although there have been plans to pedestrianise the bridge, it is still used by buses and taxis. The much photographed bridge and the weir below are close to the centre of the city, which is a World Heritage Site largely because of its Georgian architecture.
The name "Avon" is a cognate of the Welsh word afon "river", both being derived from the Common Brittonic abona, "river". "River Avon", therefore, literally means "River River"; several other English and Scottish rivers share the name. The County of Avon that existed from 1974 to 1996 was named after the river, and covered Bristol, Bath, and the lower Avon valley.
The Avon rises just north of the village of Acton Turville in South Gloucestershire, before flowing through Wiltshire. In its lower reaches from Bath to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth near Bristol the river is navigable and known as the Avon Navigation.
The Avon is the 19th longest river in the UK at 75 miles (121 km) although there are just 19 miles (31 km) as the crow flies between the source and its mouth in the Severn Estuary. The catchment area is 2,220 square kilometres (860 sq mi).
The river Avon had been navigable from Bristol to Bath during the early years of the 13th century but construction of mills on the river forced its closure. The floodplain of the Avon, on which the city centre of Bath is built, has an altitude of about 59 ft (18 m) above sea level. The river, once an unnavigable series of braided streams broken up by swamps and ponds, has been managed by weirs into a single channel. Periodic flooding, which shortened the life of many buildings in the lowest part of the city, was normal until major flood control works were completed in the 1970s.
Bloody finally. I've been waiting for Calculator to complete this group, and to release the pics of Clock King and co. so there wouldn't be spoilers for future posts.
Anyways, Anyone you don't see here I either consider higher than C-List, or not really a Batman villain. Though I do refer to Moth as at least B-List usually, but that's just favoritism I think.
You've seen all these fellows before aside from a few I didn't think deserved their own post (Great White Shark, The Terrible Trio.)
Anyways, Shoot me your thoughts! Cheers!

We have had a few days away in Wales. One of the things on my 'to do' list was to see Dolphins in the wild.
I had previously seen them many times over while in the Navy but had never had the chance to appreciate these wonderful mammals close up and in their playground.
These Dolphins form part of the Cardigan Bay pod, some of which are here all year and others join the pod swelling numbers in the summer when the food source is good.
There were about 15-18 in this group and they swam around the boat for about 20 minutes before going off to see other craft in the area. They were not fed or encouraged to swim with the boats, they did it because they wanted to.
If the chance arises, take it. It was a great couple of hours.

Built 1852/3, aisles were added under separate pitched roofs in 1861 and in 1867, the chancel was lengthened in 1875, the porch was added in 1904, and in 1932–33 the east end was rebuilt and altered by Henry Paley. The church is built in limestone with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It consists of a nave with a west porch, north and south aisles, and a chancel with a polygonal apse. At the west end, between the nave and the south aisle, is a bell turret with a spirelet.
With so much coming out, I need a checklist to keep it straight.
What did I forget?
What do I need to add?
In the UK, important historical buildings get 'listed' and Given 'a 'Grade'. The idea is to preserve old buildings. The grade determines what can be done to the building. The higher the grade the less you can do. But, who decides what is worth keeping? Or, more importantly, how do they decide what is worth keeping? This cottage has a history (of which I know nothing). It was a place where someone lived out their life or lives. But, it has been left to fall apart. Why? because they were not rich, famous, notorious?

The church was built in 1834/5 to replace an earlier church on the site, and was altered and expanded later. It is in Perpendicular style, and built in brick with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, aisles, a vestry, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower is in three stages, with buttresses, a west doorway, clock faces, and a sundial on the south side. The tower has an embattled parapet, as do the nave, aisles, and chancel.
Have you ever wondered if sometimes you've lived life all wrong and you want to do it differently, all over again?
Sometimes when I'm in a store, or out on the street and some shop's playing a song I used to listen to, but don't anymore, because it belonged to one of the years that is now over, and has been replaced by newer songs and newer bands - nostalgia overwhelms. That was year 2010. That was year 2011. And that, that was from 2009. And now it's all over, and probably no one else remembers, or even if they do they only have one dusty photo stored away in their album in the shelf that no one touches. Because maybe I've done it all wrong, the whole time. Maybe what I have now is not what I'm supposed to have, and what I've lost is still supposed to be with me. Some people have gone; some people have come in; and some have never existed except as shadows that I can no longer remember. I think I've done everything all wrong..but it's too late to change anything, and what is left here except to move on?

Designed by Brian Lister to meet windshield height regulations set by the FIA, while also minimizing the frontal area of a car powered by a rather large three-liter Jaguar engine, its aluminum body featured a large central bump covering the engine, which fell off in wide grooves on either side and aft, and incredibly curvaceous streamlined fenders and headrest. The result was an athletic-appearing, distinctive racing car that took the sporting world by storm when it made its debut in February 1958.

Market hall, 1936, to the designs of the Horseley Bridge Engineering Company, incorporating the walls of the 1932 open-air market.
Reasons for Designation
The former Woolwich Market, 1936, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
Architectural interest:
* the roof is a good representation of the Lamella system, built at a scale which clearly demonstrates the structural capability, is unaltered, and is the earliest known surviving example;
* based on a simple but visually distinctive geometric structural system which creates a striking, uninterrupted interior.
Historic interest:
* a rare survival of a dwindling number of Lamella structures in England, of which over 100 were built during the interwar period and only 16 of which are thought to remain.
History
A market was opened on the site on Plumstead Road in 1932, necessitated by overcrowding of the earlier marketplace on Beresford Square, c50m to the west. Four years later the new market was enclosed by a lightweight steel structure with a Lamella roof; construction took three months and cost £2,268, and the new, covered market was reopened on 18 September 1936.
The Lamella system was developed in Germany in the 1920s. It uses short structural members in an interlocking lattice grid to create a shallowly arching structure which could achieve wide, uninterrupted spans. The Horseley Bridge Engineering Company of Tipton acquired the license to use the system in England in 1929, and in the following decade designed and built over 100 structures incorporating Lamella roofs. One of the principal applications of the system was in the construction of aircraft hangars, and the first commission, in 1930, was for Henleys Ltd at Heston Airfield. The Air Ministry commissioned their first hangars at Usworth, near Newcastle upon Tyne in 1932, and in 1936 placed an order for 22 hangars to be built at their stations at Ternhill, Shawbury, Brize Norton and Kemble; of these, a number survive, and the group of four at Kemble are listed, as is the Lamella hangar at Liverpool airport. Lamella roofing was by no means limited to hangars, however, and in his ‘short history’, Allen notes various industrial buildings, garages, a school, and power plant which incorporate the structural system. Lamella roofs were used much less frequently following a couple of collapses in the 1940s, due to the unforeseen weight of snow, and faults in assembly. One notable example of later use was on the Sea and Ships Pavilion at the Festival of Britain in 1951.
Woolwich Covered Market is the earliest known example of a Lamella roof to survive in England. The building ceased use as a market in 2017, and has been converted to a multi-venue food hall. The structure remains largely intact.
There are purported to be subterranean passages beneath the market, used as air-raid shelters during the Second World War.
Details
Market hall, 1936, to the designs of the Horseley Bridge Engineering Company, incorporating the walls of the 1932 open-air market.
STRUCTURE and MATERIALS: a steel-framed, segmental-arch roof supported on steel stanchions encased in concrete and brick. The roof is clad in corrugated sheeting and glazing. The walls of the 1932 open-air market are built in London stock brick and have limestone dressings.
PLAN: the market stands on the south side of Plumstead Road. The building is rectangular in plan, with a span of 29, and c35m long.
EXTERIOR: the principal elevation of the building faces north onto Plumstead Road. The dominant feature is its deep projecting fascia of white boarding with ‘PUBLIC MARKET’ inscribed in applied lettering. The elevation is divided into three sections by wide tiled stanchions; the outer bays have concertina shutters, and the central section is fully glazed, with multiple windows in replacement metal frames. The roof, clad in corrugated sheeting, recedes in a gentle arc, and has strips of glazing and a pitched lantern along the apex.
The building abuts other structures at either end, and its glazed gables rise above to the rear. On the rear elevation are a number of brick ancillary structures related to the 1932 market, with a pitched entrance leading into the main market hall.
INTERIOR: internally the main market hall is a single, open-plan space, and the principal feature is the roof structure. The steel framework is exposed; it consists of short channel-section members – Lamellae – bolted together in pairs to form a diamond lattice, braced with narrow purlins and tie rods. Mechanical and electrical services are attached to the framework, and there are metal domed light fittings. The segmental-arched gable ends are fully glazed with multiple lights in metal frames.
The roof is supported on steel warren trusses; that on the southern side is glazed, and is supported on brick piers, and on the north side, the truss is supported by four concrete stanchions. The brick wall of the original open-air market of 1932 stands detached from the piers on the south side, forming a narrow aisle beneath a lean-to roof. The walls contain two doorways with limestone architraves with circular mouldings at the corners and inscribed date-stones. They retain sliding timber doors.
The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185.
The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.
