Nests have been built, couples have coupled, and eggs have been laid. Now parents are brooding the next generation of Great Egrets and Cormorants. In the small Resoft rookery I counted 48 occupied Egret nests and many more with Cormorants. Consequently, less in-flight activity on this visit. That will change when eggs hatch and chicks need to be fed. Alvin, Texas.
He's like a little troll who lives below a bridge and doesn't want anyone to cross it. He lives inside the hole of this cable table. The hole is just beneath him. When he hears anyone trying to get a drink he pops up and usually scares the so called offender off. He forgets that it is a public facility.
The smell flowing from this..... this..... occupied structure almost gagged me! Even in gentrified Williamsburg you cannot get away from homelessness. I hope this creatively constructed, cardboard home is warm, nightime temperatures are exected to drop to 9°F.
Seen in the North 6th and Berry Sts. parking lot.
Definitely not a photo for the "Joyful Simplicities" group.
Beautiful Long Studio from the entrance side, showing the beautiful view it has over the sea and towards the Fogo Island Inn (seen on the opposite shore).
This is one of four artist's studios on Fogo Island, all occupied by artists with residencies on the island.
I've written a blog post about my Newfoundland trip if you'd like to read it.
If you’d like to see all the Newfoundland images together, I’ve updated my website and you can see them all on the Galleries page.
An old hollow hemlock has no vacancies. Eastern chipmunks surrounded by red maples as a brilliant autumn backdrop.
Officially called the Eixo Rodoviário de Brasília (DF-002), six lanes of traffic divide the city, but are liberated for pedestrians on Sundays.
This is Yolanda, my mother-in-law at eighty-nine, who, as a young woman, used to stop traffic so beautiful she was. She has Alzheimer's now. And her company is Nina, who will not get off her lap.
37608 has just emerged from beneath the M1 Motorway at Pinxton hauling Elizabeth Line unit 345048 running as 5Q26 Old Dalby to Worksop where the unit will go into warm storage. Two moves along this lightly used line, within 40 minutes, meant a quick change of location from our original spot near Paddock Farm. This foot crossing accommodated all three of us nicely with the nettles occupying the stub of a telegraph pole.

Ácoma Pueblo - "Sky City" -- just a magical place. Built atop a great mesa for defensive purposes, Ácoma has been continuously occupied since the 13th century. A dramatic battle between the Ácomas and Oñate's forces occurred here in 1599. The mission church of San Esteban was built between 1629 and 1641, and today looks much as described by Fray Francisco Atanasio Dominquez in 1776. National Register of Historical Places. Composition a la Ansel Adam's 1941 photo.

I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.

España - Ciudad Real - Viso del Marqués - Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz
***
ENGLISH:
It was built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It is currently the headquarters of the General Archive of the Navy.
It is one of the two palaces built by this sailor, knight of the Order of Santiago, captain of the Ocean Sea and admiral of the Spanish Navy. It is located next to the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and since 1948 it has been rented by its owners, the Marquises of Santa Cruz, to the Spanish Navy, who first used it as a Museum of the Spanish Navy and later expanded its functions by also establishing the General Archive of the Navy.
The building was frequented by the first marquis thanks to its location, halfway between Madrid, where the Court was, and Seville, whose port he often went to as the Spanish Navy was anchored there, of which he was admiral during the reign of Philip II.
The palace was nearly destroyed by the Austrian troops of Edward Hamilton during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, but was saved by the actions of the Marquis's chaplain, the poet Carlos de Praves, thanks to whom we can admire it today. It suffered some damage due to the Lisbon earthquake in 1755, which collapsed the ceiling of the hall of honour, where the great fresco depicting the Battle of Lepanto had been painted, and toppled the four corner towers, which the chronicles of Philip II described as magnificent.
In it we can find maritime objects from the period. A figurehead belonging to a ship commanded by the Marquis is noteworthy. During the War of Independence, the French razed it, and by the time the Civil War came it had served as a granary, school, stable, prison and hospital, until in 1948 and at the request of Julio Guillén Tato, director of the Naval Museum, Mrs. Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendant of Álvaro de Bazán, rented it to the Navy for 90 years as a museum-archive, which is its current function. Also, in the adjoining parish church there is a 4m long stuffed crocodile attached to one of the vaults, which was offered by the Marquis as a votive offering upon his return from one of his voyages.
Between March and April 1823, King Ferdinand VII spent the night there, after leaving Madrid for Seville, before the entry of the French contingent called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, about whose stay Ferdinand VII did not write a word in his travel diary. The palace was declared a National Monument in 1931 and was restored from 1948 by the Navy under the direction of Admiral Guillén.
The palace was built between 1564 and 1586 with subsequent modifications. It is a square-shaped building in the Renaissance style, built around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes with two themes: mythological scenes on the one hand and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family on the other. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Péroli family. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned them to do work for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.
For its construction, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters and decorators who worked on the building from 1564 to 1586. For some, the design of the building was due to the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as the Bergamasco, who later worked in El Escorial; for others, it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas el Mozo.
The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, without Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically mannerist ensemble understood as an elegant and courtly style that goes beyond the merely architectural framework.

ESPAÑOL:
Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.
Se trata de uno de los dos palacios construidos este marino, caballero de la Orden de Santiago, capitán del Mar Océano y almirante de la Marina española. Está situado al lado de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, y desde el año 1948 es alquilado por parte de sus propietarios, los marqueses de Santa Cruz, a la Armada Española, quien primero lo destinó a Museo de la Marina Española y más tarde amplió sus funciones estableciendo también el Archivo General de la Marina.
El edificio era frecuentado por el primer marqués gracias a su ubicación, a medio camino entre Madrid, donde estaba la Corte, y Sevilla, a cuyo puerto acudía a menudo al mantener allí anclada la Armada Española, de la cual fue almirante durante el reinado de Felipe II.
El palacio estuvo a punto de ser destruido por las tropas austracistas de Edward Hamilton durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española a principios del siglo XVIII, salvándose por la actuación del capellán del marqués, el poeta Carlos de Praves, gracias a lo cual hoy podemos admirarlo. Sufrió algunos daños a causa del terremoto de Lisboa en 1755: el cual hundió el techo del salón de honor, donde se había pintado el gran fresco que representaba la batalla de Lepanto, y desmochó las cuatro torres de las esquinas, que las crónicas de Felipe II describían como magníficas.
En él podemos encontrar objetos marineros de la época. Llama la atención un mascarón de proa perteneciente a una nave que dirigió el marqués. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia, los franceses lo arrasaron, y para cuando llegó la Guerra Civil había servido de granero, colegio, establo, cárcel y hospital, hasta que en 1948 y a instancias de Julio Guillén Tato, director del Museo Naval, doña Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendiente de Álvaro de Bazán se lo rentó a la Armada por 90 años como museo-archivo, que es en la actualidad su función. Asimismo, en la iglesia parroquial aledaña hay un cocodrilo disecado de 4m de largo adosado a una de las bóvedas, que fue ofrecido por el marqués como exvoto al regreso de uno de sus viajes.
Entre marzo y abril de 1823, el rey Fernando VII pernoctó allí, tras abandonar Madrid rumbo a Sevilla, ante la entrada del contingente francés llamado los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, de cuya estancia Fernando VII no escribió ni una palabra en su diario del viaje. El palacio fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 1931 siendo restaurado a partir de 1948 por la Armada bajo la dirección del Almirante Guillén.
El palacio fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.
Para su construcción, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.
La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico.

This shell was occupied as you can probably tell, looking at its center. I made sure to put it close to the water when I was done. I just fell in love with the shape.
As we approached the cabin we planned on staying in for the night, we passed this concrete block. It's there to tell people driving up canyon if the cabin is occupied or not. It wasn't, so we turned it around from VACANT to OCCUPIED.
The cabin sits at the end of a canyon and is still a couple of miles distant. There's not a lot of parking, due to the nature of the canyon, and this will hopefully save some people some trouble and the residents some unwanted visitors.
Every cabin I've stayed at, in and around Death Valley, has a US flag that you fly to alert people that it's occupied. This one did, too, but you can't see it until it's too late.

A "seat occupied" sign used on National Airlines in the 1950s. A Spanish-language version appeared on the other side: Ocupado.

Marina City is a residential/commercial building complex sitting on the north bank of the Chicago River in Chicago, directly across from the Loop district. Consisting of two corncob-shaped towers (587-foot, 65-story), it occupies an entire city block on State Street. The complext also includes a saddle-shaped auditorium building, and a mid-rise hotel, all on a raised platform next to the river.
Designed by Bertrand Goldberg, Marina City was the first building in the United States to be constructed with tower cranes. It was completed in 1964 at a cost of $36 million.
Penrhyn railway station on the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway in Gwynedd, North Wales.
The station opened in 1865 at the commencement of passenger services and was rebuilt in 1879 using components from the original Porthmadog Harbour Station—externally it has changed little since. Originally called Penrhyndeudraeth, during the 1870s the name of was shortened to Penrhyn, to avoid confusion with the station on the Cambrian Railways coastline at the lower end of the town. The station closed to passenger traffic in 1939.
It was specially reopened on Monday 12 November 1956 when the General Manager of British Railways (Western Region) Mr. K. W. C. Grand visited the Ffestiniog Railway and travelled from Porthmadog Harbour by the first passenger train to Penrhyn since 1939. The public passenger service was resumed on 20 April 1957.
Penrhyn served as a temporary terminus until the line was re-opened to Tan-y-Bwlch in 1958, a run round loop being squeezed into the site for the purpose. The loop at Penrhyn continued in use as a passing loop for timetabled trains until 1974.
Much of the station building is now occupied by the volunteer’s hostel which was officially opened in 1972. Complete renovation by volunteers was followed in 1992 by an official re-opening.
