The bears moving over to the ninth hole to watch our finish and to get a better view of my drive. Taking the kids to their first golf tournament is exciting for these youngsters. I expect i will be asked to sign their golf hats when i finish.
Safest place on this course for bears is on the green. The sand traps on the other hand have a lot of activity.

Anticipation mounts, just minutes to go... after three long, covid-fuelled years away, it was a great pleasure to return to London’s Royal Albert Hall this week – and what better way to celebrate than the triumphant joy of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the Choral.
The orchestra was the Philharmonia, conducted by Toby Purser, Head of Conducting at the Royal College of Music – plus the thrilling sound of the 150-strong Crouch End Festival Chorus and the spectacular finale, Ode to Joy. Simply glorious.

The Ninth Wave
Kate Bush
Wave after wave, each mightier than the last
'Til last, a ninth one, gathering half the deep
And full of voices, slowly rose and plunged
Roaring, and all the wave was in a flame
First time to Whale Beach in Sydneys North Shore, and I'll definitely be back here. A great morning out with some old friends and a new friend found.
Hope you like "The Ninth Wave"
Cheers, Mike

The beginning of the finale, or the Ninth Movement, is one of Mother Nature’s best creations in her Western desert repertoire. Like a classical concerto movement, the Milky Way performed her way across the horizon, and executed a perfect visual crescendo for the galaxy’s orchestra we cannot hear.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel is an island and mainland commune in Normandy, France. The island is located about one kilometer off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches and is 7 hectares in area. The mainland part of the commune is 393 hectares in area so that the total surface of the commune is 400 hectares with a population of 50. The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it: on top, God, the abbey and monastery; below, the great halls; then stores and housing; and at the bottom, outside the walls, houses for fishermen and farmers. The commune's position—on an island just a few hundred metres from land—made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The island remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433. Louis XI recognised the reverse benefits of its natural defence and turned it into a prison. The abbey was used regularly as a prison during the Ancien Régime. The original site was founded by an Irish hermit, who gathered a following from the local community. Mont-Saint-Michel was used in the sixth and seventh centuries as an Armorican stronghold of Gallo-Roman culture and power until it was ransacked by the Franks, thus ending the trans-channel culture that had stood since the departure of the Romans in 460. From roughly the fifth to the eighth century, Mont Saint-Michel belonged to the territory of Neustria and, in the early ninth century, was an important place in the marches of Neustria. Before the construction of the first monastic establishment in the 8th century, the island was called Mont Tombe(Latin: tumba). According to a legend, the archangel Michael appeared in 708 to Aubert of Avranches, the bishop of Avranches, and instructed him to build a church on the rocky islet. Unable to defend his kingdom against the assaults of the Vikings, the king of the Franks agreed to grant the Cotentin peninsula and the Avranchin, including Mont Saint-Michel traditionally linked to the city of Avranches, to the Bretons in the Treaty of Compiègne (867). This marked the beginning of a brief period of Breton possession of the Mont. In fact, these lands and Mont Saint-Michel were never really included in the duchy of Brittany and remained independent bishoprics from the newly created Breton archbishopric of Dol. When Rollo confirmed Franco as archbishop of Rouen, these traditional dependences of the Rouen archbishopric were retained in it. The mount gained strategic significance again in 933 when William I Longsword annexed the Cotentin Peninsula from the weakened Duchy of Brittany. This made the mount definitively part of Normandy, and is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, which commemorates the 1066 Norman conquest of England. Harold Godwinson is pictured on the tapestry rescuing two Norman knights from the quicksand in the tidal flats during a battle with Conan II, Duke of Brittany. Norman ducal patronage financed the spectacular Norman architecture of the abbey in subsequent centuries. In 1067 the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel gave its support to William the Conqueror in his claim to the throne of England. This he rewarded with properties and grounds on the English side of the Channel, including a small island off the southwestern coast of Cornwall which was modelled after the Mount and became a Norman priory named St Michael's Mount of Penzance. During the Hundred Years' War, the Kingdom of England made repeated assaults on the island but were unable to seize it due to the abbey's improved fortifications. The English initially besieged the Mont in 1423–24, and then again in 1433–34 with English forces under the command of Thomas de Scales, 7th Baron Scales. Two wrought-iron bombards that Scales abandoned when he gave up his siege are still on site. They are known as les Michelettes. Mont Saint-Michel's resolute resistance inspired the French, especially Joan of Arc. When Louis XI of France founded the Order of Saint Michael in 1469, he intended that the abbey church of Mont Saint-Michel become the chapel for the Order, but because of its great distance from Paris, his intention could never be realised. The wealth and influence of the abbey extended to many daughter foundations, including St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall. However, its popularity and prestige as a centre of pilgrimage waned with the Reformation, and by the time of the French Revolution there were scarcely any monks in residence. The abbey was closed and converted into a prison, initially to hold clerical opponents of the republican regime. High-profile political prisoners followed, but by 1836, influential figures—including Victor Hugo—had launched a campaign to restore what was seen as a national architectural treasure. The prison was finally closed in 1863, and the mount was declared a historic monument in 1874. Mont Saint-Michel and its bay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979, and it was listed with criteria such as cultural, historical, and architectural significance, as well as human-created and natural beauty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont-Saint-Michel

Moscú – Moscow - Москва
Moscú (en ruso, Москва, /mɐˈskva/ transliterado como Moskvá) es la capital y la entidad federal más poblada de Rusia. La ciudad es un importante centro político, económico, cultural y científico de Rusia y del continente. Moscú es la megaciudad más septentrional de la Tierra, la segunda ciudad de Europa en población después de Estambul, y la sexta del mundo. Su población es de 12 108 257 habitantes. En virtud de su expansión territorial al suroeste del óblast de Moscú, el 1 de julio de 2012 la capital aumentó su área en 2,5 veces, desde unos 1000 km² hasta 2500 km², y ganó una población adicional de 230 000 habitantes.
Moscú está situada a orillas del río Moscova, en el Distrito Federal Central de la Rusia europea. En el curso de su historia, la ciudad ha sido capital de una sucesión de estados, desde el Gran Ducado de Moscú de la Edad Media, el Zarato ruso y la Unión Soviética, exceptuando el período del Imperio ruso. En Moscú se encuentra el Kremlin de Moscú, una antigua fortaleza donde se halla hoy el lugar de trabajo del presidente de Rusia. El Kremlin también es uno de los varios sitios que son Patrimonio de la Humanidad en la ciudad. Ambas cámaras del Parlamento ruso (la Duma Estatal y el Consejo de la Federación) también tienen su sede en Moscú.
La ciudad posee una amplia red de transporte que incluye tres aeropuertos internacionales, nueve estaciones de ferrocarril y uno de los más profundos sistemas de metro del mundo, el metro de Moscú, solo superado por el de Tokio en número de pasajeros. Su suburbano es reconocido como uno de los más ricos y variados arquitectónicamente en sus 215 estaciones, repartidas por la ciudad. Según la publicación Forbes 2011, Moscú es la segunda ciudad del mundo en número de multimillonarios.
Moscú se encuentra a las orillas del río Moskvá, que fluye por poco más de 500 kilómetros a través de la llanura de Europa oriental en el centro de Rusia. Cuarenta y nueve puentes atraviesan el río y sus canales dentro de los límites de la ciudad. La altitud de Moscú, en el Centro de Exposiciones de Rusia (VVC), donde se encuentra la principal estación meteorológica de la ciudad, es de 156 metros. Las tierras altas de Tioply Stan son el punto más alto de la ciudad, a 255 metros. La ciudad de Moscú (sin incluir el anillo de circunvalación MKAD) mide 39,7 km de este a oeste y 51,8 km de norte a sur.
Moscow (/ˈmɒskoʊ, -kaʊ/; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's two federal cities, along with St Petersburg.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013,[13] Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.
Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012. The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.

The East Industrial Job comes to life at the Public Belt's Claiborne Yard in New Orleans' Ninth Ward with NOPB #2002, one of eight "low emission" GMTX GP38-2s picked up by the railroad last year. On the other side of the Claiborne Avenue Bridge in the Lower Ninth Ward was the site of one of the worst levee breaches during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
While exploring the flood damaged neighborhood of the Ninth Ward in New Orleans, we came across Dorian & Jonathan, two kids whose families have stuck it out in the area. They were walking home to ask their grandma if they could work at a local city farm for their first jobs.
