Wolves mark their territory using scent and sound. They urinate and defecate at various points throughout the territory, with increased frequency along the borders. They also scratch with all four paws next to these markings - this is not to make their paw-prints look bigger as someone suggested, but to add scent from glands between the toes and to draw attention to the scent with the scrape-marks.

My daughter Evelien saw this huge male lion walking in the direction of the top of the dune at a distance of about 150 or 200 meters. She, like my wife, is like a ranger/tracker on a safari vehicle and will notice any movement in the direct vicinity!
Just imagine you are leaving the unfenced camp at 06:58 and several cars in front scanning the area for early morning wildlife. All of a sudden your daughter calling "lion on the right" resulting in extreme (though controlled) excitement among the passengers (and especially the driver) and an immediately stop of our car! :D)
As the lion obviously walked in the direction of our unfenced camp we turned the car and waited for her on the road leading to the camp! We made several nice shots before other cars jumped in!
What a luck: a nice lion, blue sky and red dunes!
Please click on the photo to enlarge!
This is the first upload of this Kalahari lion. More to follow!

....marking half a century of flying fare-paying passengers aboard the Boeing 747.
This is the second of a very short series. Whilst Singapore, Virgin and PIA (Pakistan) were pretty much daily visitors to Ringway, Manchester Airport, other less well known passenger aircraft occasionally dropped in and it is where all these photos were taken. Thanks to Kim for the collage!
For those interested, further detail on the individual aircraft is given in the comment box below.
I often complain about the amount of marking I do e.g. 94 essays over the holidays, another 32 to mark this week along side 20 jotters or so. But then that's 3 classes. It's nice to look back on photos like this and think at least I don't have 70 in my class!
It seems that children like to be graded the world over.
While I seldom take photos of sparrows, this one caught my attention with its dramatic markings. The gray crown, the deep rust colored feathering and the dark mottled breast were of particular note.

ESA revealed the first stunning images from its groundbreaking Biomass satellite mission – marking a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle.
Biomass captured this image over Gabon in Africa. The Ivindo River, which is vital to the health of the rainforest, is clear to see in this striking image. Other than the river and tributaries, the image is predominantly green, representing dense forest. The visibility of topographical features in this image further underscores the radar’s capability to image through forest canopies to the terrain underneath.
The image spans approximately 100 km along the Biomass satellite's flight path (length) and 60 km across in width, with north oriented to the top.
The Biomass synthetic aperture operates continuously in fully polarimetric imaging mode, capturing all four linear polarisation combination: HH, HV, VH, and VV. The resulting images are displayed using a Pauli decomposition in RGB format, where different scattering mechanisms are represented by specific colours: blue corresponds to single-bounce surface scattering, red to double-bounce scattering, and green to multiple-bounce interactions, which are indicative of volume scattering within the forest canopy.

We all love cedar waxwings. I think it's due to the pleasing brown color, the facial mask and the yellow and red accents in the feathers. Here, during take off, we see those accents in a slightly different perspective.
This is at Cherry Creek State Park, Colorado, on the main road, at a pull out below the administrative office. Don't go crazy looking, since I've seen three waxwings there in ten-years.
We marked the pitch: four jackets for four goalposts,
That was all. The corners and the squares
Were there like longitude and latitude
Under the bumpy ground, to be
Agreed about or disagreed about
When the time came. And then we picked the teams
And crossed the line our called names drew between us.
Youngsters shouting their heads off in a field
As the light died and they kept on playing
Because by then they were playing in their heads
And the actual kicked ball came to them
Like a dream heaviness, and their own hard
Breathing in the dark and skids on grass
Sounded like effort in another world…
It was quick and constant, a game that never need
Be played out. Some limit had been passed,
There was fleetness, furtherance, untiredness
In time that was extra, unforeseen and free.
Tepu' showing us some of her prized tattoos decorating both her arms and legs. The nature of tattooing among indigenous tribes in Sarawak is a long and varied one outside of this scope, but among Kelabit women, tattoos used to be a measure of class and a symbol of beauty. Nowadays the practice is almost non-existent among younger generations.

A change in the rates of postage, effective on July 1, 1931, to 3 cents for the 1st ounce or fraction of an ounce, on letters for Canada, the British Empire, the United States, and certain other countries - 13 cents covered both postage and registration on letters weighing not more than 1 ounce.
From April 1, 1943 - a 1 cent War Tax was added to the first weight step preferred letter rate. The preferred letter rate was 4 cents for the first ounce and 2 cents for each additional ounce. 4 cents letter rate + 10 cents registration fee = 14 cents

RED PASS became a hamlet with a general store, school, post office and railway station. The hotel was built in 1924 and later a police barrack was added. Residents of Red Pass would travel east and west on the train. The "road" was unimproved and hazardous until 1962 when the highway was upgraded and the need for Red Pass diminished. Trains could now travel longer distances and did not need the stop in Red Pass for servicing. After 1965, railroaders found new jobs and the police were transferred out. The hotel had burned down in 1949, the post office & general store closed in 1976 and in 1991 the little town ceased to exist.
RED PASS - The railway junction at Mile 27 at the west end of Moose Lake was originally called Resplendent, a name also deriving from the color of the rocks. East of Red Pass, the tracks of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, descending to the Fraser River on route to Prince George in 1912, were kept as low as possible. The tracks of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, heading for the Albreda Pass, were kept high. After the consolidation of the railways in 1923 as the Canadian National Railway, Lucerne disappeared as a railway divisional point and Resplendent blossomed as Red Pass Junction, the point where the removal of the separate tracks stopped and where the two lines diverged. During the 1930s, there was a hobo jungle at Red Pass where the vagabonds waited for trains. About 50 people lived at Red Pass in the 1940s. During World War II it was the site of a Japanese internment camp. The Red Pass hotel burned down in 1949. After the highway opened in 1962, the need for Red Pass diminished. CN still uses some buildings at Red Pass. The headquarters of Mount Robson Park were moved from Red Pass to Valemount in 1987. LINK to the complete article - www.spiralroad.com/red-pass-station/
The RED PASS Post Office was established - 1 November 1921 and closed - 29 January 1976, when it was moved to Valemount.

Earl Woodley left Entrance, Alberta in 1920 and opened a hotel and general store in Red Pass, British Columbia. He became Postmaster at Red Pass and served from - 31 May 1923 to - 10 June 1946 - the Post Office was located in his General Store.
EARL FRANCIS WOODLEY - Resident of Mt. Lehman, B.C. since 1950, Earl Francis Woodley, died in MSA General Hospital on March 13, 1979 at the age of 85. Born in Ontario, Mr. Woodley came to British Columbia in 1914 and was employed by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern Railways during the early part of the century. He also worked in a fur trading post in the north and operated his own general store on the Yellowhead Highway and also in Mt. Lehman prior to his retirement. He was a member of the Jasper Masonic Lodge.

In plain two tone grey with no sector markings 37 904 rolls into Cardiff Central on the through lines with a loaded eastbound coil train at 14.55. With only basic freight info available back then I had this down as an additional working from Margam to Ebbw Vale. Subsequently I have established there was a booked 6B92 15.30 Cardiff Tidal Yard to Waunllwyd North (Ebbw Vale) which wouldn't have passed through the station but its quite feasible its the same train having started back at Margam on this date.
Close up of animal looks good but whole scene will sure explain kind of habitat it has.

Still sporting the silver smokebox from a Great Western photo shoot that happened earlier in the year, the Strasburg Rail Road's big decapod #90 pulls up beside the old Pennsy J-Tower at the conclusion of the 7PM trip to Paradise. This image was captured during the Fourth of July Weekend in 2013, which featured some of the longest days of the year, hence the beautiful sunlight at nearly 8PM.
Although most of Great Western #90s regular Strasburg RR livery had been restored by the time this photo was taken, the above-mentioned silver smoke box remained. In February of 2013, Lerro Photography operated a Great Western photo charter, which featured #90, lettered and painted as she was when she was working the rails of the Great Western Railway of Colorado. Many of the markings associated with that event were either vinyl letters or magnetic signs making them relatively easy to remove and easy to restore at a later date, for a future photo shoot. The silver smoke box was actually painted, and that didn't disappear until the following winter, when the locomotive went through its annual inspection.

I noticed you can just see the marks left by Daisy's mask here. But considering we were in the mall for nearly two hours, they are pretty minor. Well here is what we can thank for that: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4YVU4G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin...
It's a great makeup setting spray, that pretty much locks your makeup into place. An improved update to the old hairspray trick we used to do in the old days. The marks you see here were just from the pressure, and went away in a few minutes. We've noticed a slight rubbing off on the bridge of our noses where the friction is greatest...but that's a pretty easy fix. I really recommend this stuff!
I came across these strange road markings whilst driving home. How did the contractor get away with it ? Within two weeks the road had been repainted correctly.
"The most notable characteristic of the tabby cat is the “M” marking that can be found at the forehead of the cat. There are variations of stories about this letter marking.
Some say that it came from the word “Mau” which means cat for the ancient Egyptians. These early civilizations of humans are believed to have identified cats as holy creatures.
Others also stated that the marking in the tabby cats’ foreheads came from Islam’s prophet Mohammed, who was fond of tabby cats. For Catholics, the “M” marking could also come from the Virgin Mary who blessed the cat that warmth the newborn Jesus at the manger." - Tabby Cats Personality, Colors, and Fun Facts
