I'm actually believing that no one has ever even accidentally hit that in the past 50 years. Not even one of the Kennedys! Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was the last to knock into it.

Early morning light falls on a note left for a stable hand.

The only completely red bird in North America, the strawberry-colored male Summer Tanager is an eye-catching sight against the green leaves of the forest canopy. The mustard-yellow female is harder to spot, though both sexes have a very distinctive chuckling call note. Fairly common during the summer, these birds migrate as far as the middle of South America each winter. All year long they specialize in catching bees and wasps on the wing, somehow avoiding being stung by their catches.

This is a comment on the galleries 'kiss the pain away' and 'show us a smile, then', which I compiled from among some of your brilliant and interesting photos over the past couple of days.

 

The x-ray is from 2010.

Was liegt euch besonders am Herzen in dieser Zeit? Habt ihr klassische oder ganz ungewöhnliche persönliche Traditionen?

War memorial commemorating 165 of the Soviet prisoners of war who lost their lives in Norway during WWII.

 

140 of the 165 were exhumed from their graves in five other locations after the war and laid to rest again here.

 

About 500 prison camps were established in Norway by the German occupying power (1940-45). 150,000 prisoners of war, captured as they sought to fight Hitler's Third Reich elsewhere in Europe, were brought to Norway. They were used as slave labourers and generally subjected to inhuman conditions.

 

Some 13,700 of the 20,000 POWs who died in Norway were Soviet citizens.
