After taking the previous sunrise shot it was time for a spot of birding. I was lucky to get a shot of the endemic lord howe silvereye flitting around a pile of fallen tree branches.
CP 113 limbers over highway 50 after getting nailed for a hot wheel at the box at mile 25 of the MacTier sub. A nice mix of different roads add some colour to an otherwise bland landscape. CP 8939 wearing the Lord Strathcona badge was also a nice touch.

The view through the fence of the historic suspension bridge where bungy jumping gained popularity above the Shotover River. Several places near here where used in the Lord of The Rings movies as locations and this seemed a fitting name for the shot given the many fences and locks preventing exploration.
This building is one of the few remaining examples of domestic Norman architecture in England.
Constructed in about 1160, these rooms provided elegant and comfortable living quarters for the lord of Christchurch. As a high status building, it was made of stone rather than timber which has ensured its preservation until today. The tall circular Norman chimney is a particularly rare survival. The building later became the home of the lord's constable or bailiff.
British fully rigged steel sailing ship 'SV Lord Lonsdale' was built 1889. It had 3 masts, a tonnage of 1756 grt and was (or is) 69.1 x 12 x 7.1 m tall. Lonsdale caught fire on 6.10.1909 being on voyage from Hamburg for Mazatlan (West Coast Mexico) in Port Stanley Harbour (Falkland Islands) and was beached to extinguish the fire. It had been loaded with coal. It had been hulked after the fire and then beached again in 1940/1942 as a wreck south of Punta Arenas at the Strait of Magellan.

The ground trembles like thunder ripping through the surface of the icy world of Hoth. The rhythmic pounding reveals something unnatural to this isolated, cold and barren world. Through the howling wind and drifting snow the shape of a monster can be seen, slowly it moves towards me. I can barely hear myself thinking, because of my racing heart, that this is the hour of defeat. Finally through hazed eyes, the shape of an Imperial walker, Storm Lord, I turn around and I flee.
The statue which faces the Menai Strait here may look like a product of the British euphoria and mourning after Lord Nelson met his heroic death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. However, the statue was erected much later, in 1873, by an artist experimenting with concrete. It was also a useful landmark for mariners.
Art lover and sculptor Lord Clarence Paget, a former Lord of the Admiralty, lived at Plas Llanfair, up the slope behind the statue. He had used concrete to make statues for his grounds and noticed they were more durable than marble in this exposed area. He found that concrete was much cheaper than marble, bronze or stone and could be manipulated easily.
Sir Llewelyn Turner, a former Caernarfon mayor, recalled in 1903 that a concrete statue of Neptune, Roman god of the sea, was originally planned but he told Lord Clarence: “What has Neptune done for us? Nelson is the proper subject.”
The Admiralty happened to be surveying the Menai Strait at the time, and Lord Clarence accepted its suggestion that, with only a small alteration to the statue’s planned location, the artwork would serve as a navigation aid for mariners travelling in either direction along this difficult stretch of water.
Portland cement and iron for the internal framework were donated by suppliers. At the unveiling ceremony in September 1873, Lord Clarence acknowledged the help he’d received in creating the statue from a “faithful and patient Welshman named John Jones”.
The Admiralty had already marked the statue on its newest chart by the time of the ceremony.
Lord Nelson became a British celebrity after leading the Royal Navy’s defeat of the French at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Shortly before his final battle against the French at Trafalgar, he used coloured flags on his ship HMS Victory to send a message to the whole fleet: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” The same words are inscribed on the base of the statue, facing the Strait.
The federal government's response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster stands as a testament to Our Leader's ability to pick the right people for the vitally important job of blaming Democrats for the Administration's failures.

My prayer goes to those who were affected by the latest massive earthquake in China. It was reported to be as strong as 7.9 magnitude and almost 9,000 now were reported dead and 10,000 injured.
London photographer and resident swinger Lord Patrick Lichfield casts a bemused eye at his plaster likeness in a Roostein workshop. Like most of the firm's subjects, he earned a fee for posing. After sanding and painting, each mannequin's make-up is applied by hand, a process that often takes two hours
