I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.

Manual setup and focus, available light, handheld. Hope, you enjoy! All visits, faves and comments are appreciated!

suitable for high bay warehouse and logistic center, such as an Amazon logistic center ...

 

due to more and more orders in the mail order business, truck traffic is increasing significantly and the space required for logistics centers will be enormous in the future, soil sealing by ugly rectangular buildings, which we can not afford environmentally, retail is destroyed and our beautiful city centers fall dead ...

 

;-) ...

 

anyway, this is a hall of a museum, which I like best ...

Some facts on flies...

 

Flies form one of the five most diverse insect orders, including about 150,000 described species in 150 families.

 

It's estimated that there are 30,000 species of fly in Australia, of which only 6400 have been described.

 

Flies can be distinguished from other insects because they have only one pair of functional wings. Almost all flies have mouthparts that are adapted for lapping or piercing and sucking.

 

A large component of the world's fly fauna is unique to Australia. Flies are ubiquitous and often abundant in Australian terrestrial ecosystems.

 

They perform important ecological functions such as nutrient recycling, predation and pollination, and their larvae are often parasitoids of other insects.

 

Many species of fly are regarded as a nuisance, including the bush fly (Musca vetustissima), mosquitoes, sandflies and blackflies.

 

Flies are responsible for the transmission of a wide variety of disease-causing micro-organisms in humans and animals.

 

Most of these diseases are absent from Australia, with exceptions such as dengue fever and some types of encephalitis.

 

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..

GWR 7903 Foremarke Hall heads the first train of the day away from Cheltenham Racecourse.

A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.

 

The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.

 

Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

Our coffee shop next door has finally reopened. Our world as we know it has permanently changed. But at least we can have some kind of normal and enjoy the odd moment pretending everything was back the way it was.

Together with the airline’s 101-strong A380 fleet and its current order backlog for 41 aircraft, this new order brings Emirates’ commitment to the A380 programme to 178 aircraft, worth over US$ 60 billion.

Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species[1] in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders.

 

Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forcep-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings". Some groups are tiny parasites on mammals and lack the typical pincers. Earwigs are found on all continents except Antarctica.

 

Earwigs are mostly nocturnal and often hide in small, moist crevices during the day, and are active at night, feeding on a wide variety of insects and plants. Damage to foliage, flowers, and various crops is commonly blamed on earwigs, especially the common earwig Forficula auricularia.

 

Earwigs have five molts in the year before they become adults. Many earwig species display maternal care, which is uncommon among insects. Female earwigs may care for their eggs, and even after they have hatched as nymphs will continue to watch over offspring until their second molt.

 

Earwigs have an average lifespan of one year. The mating season for earwigs is in autumn and winter, with eggs typically hatched in the spring. Earwigs undergo metamorphosis in which they change stages from egg to nymph (baby/juvenile) to adult.

Corvin Castle, in Hunedoara, Romania, was laid out in 1446, when construction began at the orders of John Hunyadi (Hungarian: Hunyadi János, Romanian: Iancu or Ioan de Hunedoara). The castle was originally given to John Hunyadi's father, Voyk (Vajk), by Sigismund, king of Hungary, as severance in 1409. It was also in 1446 when John Hunyadi was elected as the regent-governor of the Kingdom of Hungary by the Diet.

 

The castle was built mainly in Gothic style, but has Renaissance architectural elements. It features tall and strong defence towers, an interior yard and a drawbridge. Built over the site of an older fortification and on a rock above the small Zlaști River, the castle is a large and imposing building with tall and diversely coloured roofs, towers and myriad windows and balconies adorned with stone carvings.

Nobody really knows what the end of year festivities will look like this year, but hopefully they will still include trees.

Birds of prey are fascinating and majestic animals. They can generally be defined as birds that feed on animals that they catch alive. Representatives of these two orders can be found almost everywhere in the world. Although these groups are distantly related, the behavioural and anatomical characteristics they share appear to be mainly the result of parallel evolution.

After high sun had more or less passed, it was back to the business at hand. The restored Dresser depot was the scene again for a few runbys.

 

Recreating something that happened many times over the years, the engineer on MNTX GP7 559 gets some orders hooped up as the cameras fire away.

 

It was another fun time on a S&B photo charter.

So very happy to be expanding my blog into doing home & decor recently. Still learning a lot, but I am really excited to be blogging for Builder's Box. Pre-orders for August open now!

CN L542 pauses on the Fergus Spur just outside FloChem while the conductor and trainee meet with the yard foreman to discuss spotting the inbound cars. Their 15 minute break allowed plenty of time for a farmer to finish plowing his driveway which crosses both the Fergus Spur main track and the FloChem siding. Shortly, 4732 will cut off from it's train and run ahead to the switch for the crew to sweep it out and start their work.

Despite it being mid-November the Mahonia in the garden is in full bloom and buzzing with insects. The most abundant are the two shown here, the honeybee (in flight) and the common drone fly (Eristalis tenax). The hoverfly is a honeybee mimic and this shot provides a comparison between it and the real thing.

 

I wonder how long it will be before the nectar runs out and the flying insect season comes to an end.
