To reach the port of Ilulissat in late July, ships may have to navigate through the treacherous remnants of ice floes from the nearby glacier. Once we waited until morning to dock.
Pinch zoom,then navigate left to right for some nice detail on this one.1 Astor Place,a luxury apartment building in the NoLIta (North of Little Italy) neighborhood of Manhattan.The red brick,terra cotta structure was built 1881-1883 and owned then by Orlando B Potter,who also owned the Potter Building near City Hall also built around the same time as this one.Potter also founded the Architectural Terra Cotta Co in 1886,three years after the building's completion.The building was once a hotel and boarding house,with a men's store for the "well-dressed man" on the ground floor.Fittingly,there's a GAP store there now gvshp.org/blog/2013/03/21/my-favorite-things-1-astor-place/
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate paper at Macro Mondays ! How cool is that !!
And since I have computer problems , I just hope I will be able to publish my picture today. If you are reading this: we are ok lol Luckily for me, my husband is an awesome computer buff so he should be able to fix this in no time. But right now, I feel like this tiny yellow paper boat navigating on the ocean of unknown words and concepts … But I agree with everything my super intelligent (and very charming !!) Husband is saying…. He is like the Captain of the yellow paper ship, navigating on the red ocean of computer emergencies, while I’m drinking my gin and tonic and eating Nutella like a Canadian bear before hibernation….
My tiny boat is not even 1cm long and my book has a red tainted pages (which I love very much !!) and that is the reason I got it in the first place (I dont even know the title lol ).
So, I hope you will like this picture, because a lot of effort was put just to publish it lol
See you later my friends ! And have a great day !!
I knew what I saw, you, you will be mine
You're not an angel but you're divine
I try to move forward, you make me rewind
Maybe that's the magic of love
When you use your powers, I can not decline
Take one look into my eyes and read my mind
I try to move forward, you make me rewind
Baby, that's the magic of love
Baby, that's the magic of love
Baby, that's the magic of love
(Maybe, maybe
Maybe that's the magic of love
Maybe, maybe
Maybe that's the magic of love)
This is an overview of how the backwaters interconnect. The backwaters are made up of lakes, rivers and canals. The boats that provide transportation are found in all shapes and sizes. The large boat is one of the house boats made from an old rice barge. Very clever transformation I would say. And now tourists flock to Kerala for an overnight stay on a houseboat.
I see this amazing raccoon a few times a year on the hillside behind my house and in the lightly wooded areas off the meadows. I've seen her with kits in the spring leading them to watering holes and heard raccoons screaming and bickering in the night....a sound that you don't easily forget. At this time of year, I begin to see raccoon tracks in the snow. So far, her one-eyed blindness has not seemed to hold her back from a very capable life in the wild. I'm sure the fact that raccoons are quite intelligent helps her out as well.
I found some interesting old houses in Norwich, CT. This one stood out boldly through the green summer foliage.

The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

Another image from my visit to St Paul's a few weeks back, this one taken from the top level viewing platform, called the Golden Gallery. You get some stunning views from up there and it was well worth the 500+ steps to climb up there, even if some of the passageways one has to navigate are on the tiny side!

Been cleaning my school bag.
I keep all the pencils I find and lend them to students who have lost theirs... Recycling
Homage to all teachers and people who keep helping kids and parents navigating these dark days.
Even the most damaged and smallest pencil is helpful.

Much of what you see was not here years ago. The constant storms take from the Northern Beaches and pile it up here. It's always changing. Thanks for the visit and have a good Weekend.
An endemic bird of South Asia, found only in the forests of the western coast of India and Sri Lanka. These are small birds, just about the size of a Sunbird about 13 cms long, though much heftier.
This is a lifer for me and after seeing the pictures I was expecting a much larger bird. It took me a couple of times to get a decent view of the bird which forages deep in the bush. The forest was thick and in many places covered by lots of shadows. And there we sighted this bird - inside the thick bush expertly navigating amongst the branches and picking up insects and tree spiders.
The birds - just like other babblers - are a bit noisy and so it wasn't hard to figure the area they were active in, but it was quite challenging to sight the bird in the bush.
They are social birds and hence sighted in parties - we found large parties - more than half a dozen everytime.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

I came across this field full of snow geese and noticed that they were in rows !!!! Very orderly, I must say !! Actually, they had landed in the stubble of a harvested corn field and it is easier for them to navigate by staying in the corn rows !! Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
