The Blue-headed Vireo offers a pleasing palette of moss green, bluish gray, and greenish yellow, set off by bold white “spectacles” (the eyering plus a “loral” spot next to the bill), throat, and belly. The wings and tail are a sharp black and white. Like most larger vireos, Blue-headed forages for insects and their larvae in trees, moving deliberately along branches, where it can be challenging to spot. Males sing a slow, cheerful carol, often the first indication of the species’ presence in a forest. All About Birds

After an offer of a cab ride while they loaded the last half of the train, they blasted off from the loadout. I recall they said they very rarely saw railfans at the time. Seems I chased to the Cow Springs curve and opted to swing by Monument Valley that afternoon and end up in Helper UT that night!
Only the small version offered this time sorry folks. The HiRes version would make a great canvas print, enquiries welcome.

Vanuatu consists of 83 islands and has much to offer; active volcanoes, tropical beaches, dense rainforests, a very rich culture and amazingly friendly people. Of the several islands I visited, the island of Tanna has undoubtedly made the biggest impression on me. The whole island is covered with black volcanic ash deposited by Mount Yasur, an active volcano that has been erupting almost continuously for more than 800 years.
My accommodation on the island consists of a treehouse not far from Mount Yasur. The treehouse is hidden in thick forest, just high enough to be able to see the volcano through the foliage. I can hear its rumbling all day, and from my bed at night, I can see it shooting red burning lava high into the air.
The view on the other hand is almost equally impressive. Several times there appears a rainbow above the with rainforest covered hills. Together with the dull rumbling of the volcano, the swallows flying around, the deep black soil covered with large tree ferns and the chickens scratching around the forest floor this makes for a special, almost prehistoric feel.

Ford offered a 5cwt Van version of the Ford Model Y from 1932 to 1937 with the 933cc sidevalve engine. In 1936 Ford commercials adopted the name 'Fordson'. The Model Y was developed into the English-designed Ford 7Y 8hp in 1937 and a 5cwt Fordson Van was based on this model.

Even the snow here has personality. It crunches under her boots with such confidence that it clearly plans to stick around until March — even maybe April.
And somehow, without warning, she matches the whole scene perfectly.
Not planned. Not even a little.
But velvet and bows and soft winter textures just feel right in a place where magic has clearly taken over the décor department.

Special offer on reflections with a MerseyRail theme at Kirkby with the guard about to give the driver two bells allowing 2G83 to Liverpool Central to be on its way operated by 507004.
This high-angle shot offers an intimate look at a twin cascade, where a mountain stream splits and pours over rugged, dark rock faces into a swirling pool below. The composition emphasizes the texture of the geology—lichen-spattered stones, jagged edges, and deep crevices—contrasted against the white, energetic froth of the water.
The fast shutter speed captures the "stop-motion" effect of the falls, turning the water into a crystalline spray. The surrounding environment is rich with temperate greenery, including mosses, ferns, and overhanging tree branches that frame the top of the frame, suggesting a secluded, hidden spot deep within a valley.

When I go for walks, I usually gaze with wonder at all the amazing sights nature has to offer. Even a daily walk along the same trails bring new views each time. A jumping deer, a moose on the lose, an owl hiding among the branches of some tree in the vast forest...

Elk Mountain offers sub-alpine vegetation, with superb views. It is moderately challenging year-round destination for hikers in the Abbotsford, Chilliwack area, and can be enjoyed in a half or full day excursion. In the distance is Sumas Prairie, part of the eastern Fraser Valley, with the Coast Mountain Range on the horizon.
Rarely am I offered lately with the opportunity to travel ... It seems that as I'm getting old, work overload flows all around me in, alas, a gradually increasing rate (the opposite should have been both desirable and chronologically "right") ... Anyway, I had only one day and I tried to make the most out of it ...
We decided to pay a visit to Kastoria, one of the most picturesque cities of West Macedonia and as it turned out of whole Greece ... The city is small, not more than 10.000 inhabitants nowadays, yet it is located at an area of great history and of course tradition ... A city that is blessed to be built at an amazing location. all around a peninsula within the lake "Orestiada" ...
I didn't have the time (nor the guts anymore) to pay a visit to its magnificent whereabouts around my desirable photo-shooting hours (which is just before sunrise), so I tried to maximize the result out of intense daylight conditions ... If such is the case, I try to pay extra attention in capturing proper light (always set my camera to slightly underexposed image), as well as to synthesis issues (either foreground interest, leading lines, water mirroring effects) or why not all of them if one is lucky enough to find a vista that combines all of the above mentioned elements ...

Each month the FFF Snap Happy group offers three themes that you can use individually or combined. This months themes are "All Creatures Great and Small", "Orange" and "Water". I decided to try and combine all three.
Sheltering on the orange rose inside out of the rain seemed the sensible thing to do.
Hiking in Kerlingarfjöll offers a combination of geothermal wonders, colorful landscapes, remote wilderness, and stunning views, making it a special and memorable experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
One of the most popular hiking trails in Kerlingarfjöll is the Hveradalir Trail: 11km. This trail takes hikers through a geothermal area filled with hot springs, mud pots, and steam vents.
The trail climbs and descends a few times. Even in mid-summer we had to cross snow to continue along the trail. After we crossed several ice-snow crossings, we found we were close to glacier, strong wind almost blew me away, even with snow pants and thin dawn jacket inside the waterproof jacket, I was frozen to death… then realized we went to the wrong trails, the trail signs were based on the wood pole colors, checked the AllTrials, had to go back… finally got on the right track before iPhone running out of batteries.
A late eastbound Zephyr offered me a chance to scratch off another bucket list location. There's an angled truss bridge that goes over the UP Falls City Sub [ex-MOP] just off the cluster of interstate bridges at what UP calls Summit. Because of that situation, there isn't any quick way to access this spot: I parked about "2 blocks" away, hopped a fence, and walked beside/under the interstate interchange. The shot is pretty tight with some junk on either side of the tracks, but it still framed up pretty nice for a tight crop on the scene.
lady bug offered. Devil's Club is a native healing plant and is highly respected and honoured in the healing community. The spines on it's stem are formidable and should be avoided. It produces bright red berries in late summer.
Technique offer us new possiblities for experimenting. I believe curiosity is present in all human beings. An internal force moves skaters to experiment things that the rest of us, we can not dream of .In my case I enjoied exploring what could result from the use of different edition programs together, "eh voilà" the outcome!
The summer time offers more light to chase the Manchester Turn out of Cedar Rapids, on duty 17:00 during the week. While traffic has really hit the dumps with the virus stuff going on, the Cedar Rapids corridor has stayed steady for the most part. Even enough traffic this week for a 2nd motor to find it's way to CR. With that being the case we chased the Friday night job out of town with a decent set of CN power. Here the job tops the grade near MP 6, a few miles north of Ryan as the shadows get long on their northbound trip. At Manchester 567 will trade trains with 565 who is working west out of Dubuque.
Late summer offers some very charming colours, with the sun getting lower and lower each day and the leaves slowly turning their colours from green to yellow and red.
One of the late september days - 25.09.2025 - I made a day trip to the part of the Ostbahn between Piła and Krzyż, where I was hoping to see SM31-143 with some trackworks trains, which were running around in the area.
As a bonus, I caught SM42-758 in Trzcianka, a very classic station on the old Prussian mainline, as it was shunting a rake of Gondolas after offloading aggregates at the ramp located near the station. Seeing PKP Cargo's SM42s in service is not a given nowadays, and it's even harder to see them on mainline duties - which happened that very day. The locomotive formed the train and left shortly after towards Piła.

Often winter offers a silent and magical solitude. Winter, on this dune, along the lakeshore is peaceful and filled with most beautiful textures. I sat in the sun, amongst the drifted dunes and felt very well-balanced. This is not my home but rarely do I leave this place. Though I wander, this gifted place is never very far from my thoughts. Ever changing is the beauty that really is never complete here. Hidden here is a secret and sacred peace. You must come…..
Yesterday at the Kamera Börse I was made a sweet offer on a KMZ Horizont. I love the panoramic format and had wanted a Horizont for quite some time so I bought it, with the expectation it would need some clean up and new light seals. Well... the first few frames suggest it's doing just fine. Checking fast shutter speed will have to wait some more clement weather. Oh, and I got a Canon 35mm f/2.8 in new FD mount, another thing I had been after for quite some time.

The Gwacheon National Science Museum offers a fascinating window into the Ice Age through its exhibition on the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius).
The display features an imposing reconstruction of an adult mammoth, which could reach 3.5 meters in length and 2.5 tons in weight, along with the characteristics that allowed it to survive in frigid climates, such as its dense fur and a thick layer of fat.
Alongside this representation, the jewel of the collection is the real skeleton of "TIMA", a young woolly mammoth. Discovered in the Omsk region of southern Siberia, this specimen was approximately 7 years old and measured 1.8 meters in height at the shoulder. A crucial detail confirming its authenticity is that the skeleton is composed of more than 80% real bone, making it a genuine specimen and not a replica. Its affectionate name, "TIMA," was chosen by the public in a contest and is a combination of the English words "Tiny" and "Mammoth".
• Woolly Mammoth
• Mamut lanudo, elefante lanudo, mamut de la tundra
Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Proboscidea
Family: Elephantidae
Genus: Mammuthus †
Species: M. primigenius †
The Woolly Mammoth is an extinct species of elephant that was widespread during the last Ice Age. A close relative of modern elephants, it was famously adapted to survive in the cold, harsh environments of the Pleistocene epoch. These adaptations included a body covered in long, shaggy hair, a thick layer of subcutaneous fat for insulation, and ears that were significantly smaller than those of today's elephants to minimize heat loss. Adults could stand about 3.5 meters tall and possessed enormous, curved tusks that could reach over 4 meters in length.
These massive herbivores roamed the vast, cold, dry grasslands known as the "mammoth steppe," which stretched across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their diet consisted of grasses, shrubs, and the branches of trees. While most populations went extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and human hunting, some small, isolated groups survived on remote islands until as recently as 4,000 years ago.
The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any call for me to shout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore:
When you let him in, then he wants to be out;
He's always on the wrong side of every door,
And as soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about.
He likes to lie in the bureau drawer,
But he makes such a fuss if he can't get out.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any use for you to doubt it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast:
His disobliging ways are a matter of habit.
If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast;
When there isn't any fish then he won't eat rabbit.
If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,
For he only likes what he finds for himself;
So you'll catch him in it right up to the ears,
If you put it away on the larder shelf.
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle;
But he'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing,
For there's nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any need for me to spout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And theres no doing anything about it! ~ ~ TS Eliot.
In 1911, Samuel P. Clark offered the board the site for the library, located at 15 Park Avenue West. It was valued at $2,500. There was a stipulation that the new building had to be well under construction within a year. First National Bank[4][5] donated a strip of land adjoining on the north and later Mr. Clark added a gift of $7,720 for the purchase of the lot to the east of the library property. The board was to remove an existing building and hire a landscape gardener to enhance the property.[2]
In 1913 the library building was completed at the cost of $23,000 and was designed by the Chicago firm Patton & Miller. The Women’s Club contributed $3,400 with the reservation that there be an assembly hall on the second floor for a meeting place until the amount of rent equaled their donation. The library’s collection had grown from 800 to 10,760 volumes.
The library was dedicated on April 15, 1913. It was 30 years after Nehemiah Matson’s death
This Irvington residence—set on one of the neighborhood’s most self-conscious streets—offers a near-textbook example of early 20th-century Portland ambition expressed in wood, shingle, and column.
Its disciplined, almost foursquare mass is overlaid with Craftsman textures and crowned, somewhat insistently, by a classical porch that aspires to temple status. Bay windows swell outward, gables multiply, and a diamond pane makes its cameo, each gesture perfectly defensible and collectively a touch breathless.
Built when bourgeois respectability was not merely acceptable but aspirational, the house reads as a declaration: its owners meant to be seen, placed, and properly understood. One imagines a household fully enrolled in the city’s social machinery, business, lodge, and pew—while embracing the newer comforts and stylistic freedoms of the Pacific Coast.
I’m looking forward to putting a name—and a narrative—to it using the pre- and post-renumbering street directories. Irvington rarely disappoints when you follow the paper trail.
What’s striking here is how close the house comes to tipping into incoherence—and how decisively it pulls back. The underlying mass is disciplined, the proportions sound, the junctions clean. Nothing feels tacked on or improvised. Even where the styles collide, they do so with a kind of confidence: details repeat, materials transition deliberately, and the whole suggests drawings rather than on-site invention. This is not a builder rummaging through a catalogue of effects. It is a scheme that was *thought through*.
And yet, it stops just short of real architectural authority. A stronger hand would have edited, subordinated, chosen a single governing idea and enforced it. Instead, the house accumulates—classical formality, Craftsman texture, multiple emphases—each well understood, none quite denied. The result is not the confusion of the modern McMansion, where elements are misread, but something subtler: **a house that knows exactly what it is doing and declines to stop doing it**. Whether the product of a compliant architect or an ambitious pattern-book design, it reads as a client’s wishes generously—and perhaps too generously—honored.

Located in the wooded hills of the Wood Mountain Uplands, the community of Rockglen is central to an area rich in Indigenous and archeological history. It is a full-service community that offers a variety of businesses and facilities to its residents and visitors alike. The town and surrounding area provide endless choices for recreational activities including boating, hiking, touring, photography, hunting and a variety of local events.
Vestiges from before the last ice age, a land of hidden treasures, petrified wood and fossils, hammers and arrows of the Assiniboine, Plains Cree, and Blackfoot peoples. But it is the followers of Sitting Bull who left one of the strongest impressions. Following the Battle of Little Bighorn 5,000 Lakota Sioux Lakota fled to the Wood Mountain Uplands where they were under the jurisdiction of the North-West Mounted Police under the command of Major James Morrow Walsh. The hills, first surveyed by the Henry Youle Hind expedition in 1858, were used for hunting by day, and at night fires could be seen of meat being smoked. In 1879 the U.S. Cavalry set fires in Montana that spread and burned the grasslands of Rockglen, causing the ensuing famine and leading to the toponym "The Burning Hills".
It is in these Burning Hills where the Ferbane ranch was located. By 1910 the homestead became a post office, soon German and Austro-Hungarian settlers built homesteads out of tar paper shacks and sod huts. Wood building were built for businesses, such as the pool hall, which also contained the Wesley Methodist church, which became the Wesley United Church of Canada in 1925; Valley City became an unofficial community.
To the north the Kent homestead became a post office in 1915. Soon thereafter Beromé Prefontaine built a store and by 1917 Joeville, named for Joseph Prefontaine, was founded as a village. In 1926 Joeville was a prosperous community when the Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line south from Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Alberta Pacific both built elevators along the line. Joeville split into the French community of Liseux near the new elevators and 26 buildings were moved south to the new CPR junction near Valley City. Valley City was relocated north of the tracks and incorporated as the Village of Rockglen in 1927.
Services were soon established in the tiny village. Mr. Sproul ran a school out of the Pinking Hotel on Centre Street. It was a community effort with desks and blackboards furnished by local carpenters and fundraising organized by Mr. Sproul. To the relief of Centre Street commerce a proper school house was built in 1928. It had three rooms: Mr. Preston as principal and two classes instructed by Miss Campbell and Miss Jarvis. In 1929 the Red Cross built a hospital, and a permanent post office was built, as was a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, and Charlie Switallo’s hardware store, which was the longest running Rockglen business to date.
Electric lighting was provided from 1929–1950 by the Rockglen Power Company, which ran every day from dusk to midnight, when three flashes indicated shut down. It wasn’t until 1950 when the Saskatchewan Power Corporation came to Rockglen that full 24-hour 120- and 240-volt electric service came to Rockglen.
The depression caused rural decline which was furthered by mechanization of agriculture during the later stages and in the time following the Second World War. Nearby Constance and Strathcona were dissolved and the one-room rural school houses were replaced by a system of buses and Bombardier tracked vehicles for winter use. Rockglen grew to a population of 500 persons when incorporated as a town with L. J. Bolster elected the first mayor. During the 1960s a new school was constructed, as well as a new post office, school office, Imperial Bank of Canada, and hotel.
The late 1970s saw a rise of inflation, combined with exceptionally high grain prices; many farmers retired and moved into Rockglen. In 1975 construction began on the Poplar River Power Station in nearby Coronach commissioned in 1981. 1981 also saw the construction of a new Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. This is currently the last elevator in Rockglen and is owned by Poplar Valley Producers Co-operative. The resulting population influx had led to development of homes along Second Avenue and construction of Hillcrest Drive. To date, these are the newest housing developments in Rockglen. In 1988, Rockglen resident Jack Wolfe was elected as a Progressive Conservative Member of Legislative Assembly a position in which he served until 1991.
Wise Lake offers a good destination if you'd like a sample of the Congaree Wilderness. Congress designated the Congaree Wilderness in the Congaree Swamp National Monument Expansion and Wilderness Act of 1988; the Congaree Swamp did not become Congaree National Park until 2003.
The Eastern Wilderness Act of 1975 allows "restored" wilderness areas east of the Mississippi, in contrast to the Wilderness Act of 1964. The Congaree has a mix of old-growth and second-growth forest. (The water tupelo across the lake may be "original" or may have succeeded a bald cypress cut.)

It’s difficult to close the door on the things that once made us happy, that offered bright promise during dark times. Things that helped us find love or hope or happiness.
But the hard truth is that not everything can last forever and things end; sometimes abruptly, sometimes fading away slowly until they’re just a speck disappearing in the distance. We can’t hold onto things forever, no matter how firmly we fix our grasp upon them. We can’t force people to stay and seldom can we control the situations we find ourselves in.
But what we can do is remember one simple, undeniable reality. And that is that new prospects will always arise from the end of something else. That it’s okay to let go of something that ends, even when it’s devastatingly painful. Even when it’s something that seems like it’s being yanked away from you before you’re ready. The ending of things will sometimes feel excruciating, even when we deep down know that it’s the right thing, the only thing.
Who has ever started something new, something exciting, without finishing something first? It’s only when we’re defeated by the prospect of something ending that we think to pull ourselves up and move forward. Life is a process, a series of ups and downs. A sequence of unpredictable happenings. It’s not black and white and most of the events that fill up the timeline of our lives are very rarely planned or expected.
But isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that what life is meant to be about? The things that end and the new opportunities that come out of them. The ways in which we fight and struggle and conquer and overcome.
One day you will wake up and it won’t hurt so bad. That you’ll go through entire days without playing out that ending in your mind. That soon there will be whole stretches of time when it never even crosses your mind, until one day it’s just an uncomfortable memory.
Know that one day you will look back and see that event not as the end, but as a starting point. As the pivot that turned everything around. As the thing that gave you the courage to try something new, something that would come to a beautiful fruition.
Let yourself realize that every wonderful thing that you’ve experienced is so because something else ended, not in spite of it.
Things will end, while others are just beginning.
For a subdivision that offers quite the views as a photographer, the Oregon Trunk sub in Central Oregon can also test the patience of photographers as train traffic averages less than 5 in a 24 hour period. With the lack of train traffic, the remoteness of this route between Wishram, Washington and Chemult, Oregon also gives negative affects to photographers as it's difficult to access most points because of private and tribal land along the 200+ mile route. If you're lucky to find one in the day time it sure can be a rewarding show to watch as they climb out of the Columbia River Gorge in Wishram, Washington to Chemult, Oregon which is the highest point of the line at 4765ft above sea level. Here a Pasco to Fresno, California manifest crosses the Crooked River just north of Redmond, Oregon enroute to Bend, Oregon for a crew change.

The Mirador Ferrier Lookout offers views with a unique perspective of Lake Grey, the Paine River, the massifs and their snow-capped peaks, and everything that Torres del Paine has to offer. Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is known for its soaring mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as llama-like guanacos. Some of its most iconic sites are the 3 granite towers from which the park takes its name and the horn-shaped peaks called Cuernos del Paine.
