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.

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.)
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.
Pulborough Brooks offers several woodland walking opportunities. The main area for woodland walks is within the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks Nature Reserve. You can find trails through woodlands and heaths, including the "Wildart Trail" and footpaths marked "church". The reserve also offers a circular walk that takes you through Pulborough village and back along the River Arun
The hilltop offers an unrivalled view of Gyantse town, and there is a small museum documenting the excesses of the British Younhusband expedition, which severely damaged the fortress in 1904. Restoration work at the fortress has taken place in recent years, but visitors have still occasinally found it difficult to gain acces.
The original fortress of Gyel-khar-tse (རྒྱལ་ཁར་ རྩེ་ rgyal khar rtse) is attributed to Pelkhor-tsen, son of the anti-Buddhist king Langdarma, who vainly sought to perpetuate the Yarlung Dynasty from West Tibet following the assassination of his father.
The walls of the present structure were reputedly built in 1268, following the rise to power of the Sakyapas, and in 1365 a palatial castle was founded on the hilltop by the local prince, Phakpa Pelzangpo (1318-1370), who had acquired influence at the court in Sakya through his reputation as a brave general in the southern military campaigns conducted by his Sakyapa overlords, and at Zhalu, where in 1350 he entered into a marriage alliance with the lords of Zhalu. As dowry he was granted the fiefdom of Changra, west of Gyantse, and he invited the great Buddhist master Buton Rinchendrub of Zhalu to reside in a temple which he had constructed there. In 1365, in addition to the Gyantse Castle, he also founded the Tsechen Chode (Shambu Tsegu) castle and temple complex at the entrance to the Gyantse valley and adopted it as his principal seat. The incarnation of Buton, Drubchen Kunga Lodro, also resided there.
Southern Arizona offers many springtime treats to those birders who visit, but few more beautiful than this one. The blue-throated mountain-gem, actually a large hummingbird (about 3X the size of the Ruby-throated hummingbird), exhibits beauty in its flight and that identifiable magnificent blue throat. Last year, when visiting the area, I had hoped to come across them, and that we did. Having a limited distribution in North America, primarily in Mexico, they also breed in SE AZ, SW NM, and southern TX. Of interest to note, the blue-throated mountain-gem does not perform an aerial display, using different vocalizations to attract mates and defend its territory. I think it's a gem indeed. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend ahead.

New findings from NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter provide a fuller picture of how the planet’s distinctive and colorful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds. The results highlight the inner workings of the belts and zones of clouds encircling Jupiter, as well as its polar cyclones and even the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's banded appearance is created by the cloud-forming weather layer. This composite image shows views of Jupiter in infrared and visible light taken by the Gemini North telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

15 years ago, the North Pole Express ran up the former New York Central Saginaw branch from Owosso to Chesaning. The train was much smaller in those days, and most of the trip was between 10 and 20 mph. The Saginaw County fairgrounds in Chesaning hosted the North Pole. A few years later, the decision was made to move the North Pole over to Ashley and run up the ex Ann Arbor mainline instead, somewhat due to deteriorating track conditions on the branch north of Oakley. SRI volunteers actually invested a lot of time and money into track work between Oakley and Chesaning in order to continue running 1225 up there, but eventually it became more than they could feasibly do. While the ex AA line is nice, the old NYC was more straight north/south and offered some interesting photos, like the classic Michigan Bean Co elevator in Henderson.

1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 W-30
After four years of being offered as part of the F-85/Cutlass line, the 4-4-2 was finally promoted to its own trim level, beginning with the 1968 model year.
By this time, the three-digit definition had evolved, so instead of representing four-barrel carburetor, four-speed transmission, and dual exhaust, “4-4-2” now stood for 400-cu.in. engine, along with the four-barrel and dual exhaust. All three were standard equipment through the 1969 model year, while equipment such as a four-speed manual, performance gearsets, and the W-30 package (which included the Outside Air Induction system) were optional.
Like the 1968-’69 models, the ’70 4-4-2 was available in three body styles, a two-door post coupe, which Oldsmobile referred to as the Sports Coupe; the two-door hardtop Holiday Coupe; and a convertible. After being prohibited previously, the 455 was not simply available, it was standard and offered in two varieties. The base 4-4-2 455 used “E” cylinder heads that helped produce 365 hp, backed in standard form with a three-speed manual. A heavy-duty suspension, accompanied by 14-inch plain-steel wheels and drum brakes, was also standard.
Its base engine was a 455-cu.in. engine that had been steadily improving since its 1968 debut. The 1970 4-4-2’s base 455 was rated for 365 hp, but the W-30 version–bolstered by a camshaft featuring an intake/exhaust valve duration of 285/287 degrees and .472-inch lift (with automatic; 328 duration and .475-inch lift with manual trans)–was rated at 370 hp.
The big performance option was the W-30 package, which provided a fiberglass hood and corresponding air-induction system, wide body stripes, appropriate badging, front disc brakes, and a 370-hp 455. This engine was fitted with special equipment not found on the base 455, including “F” heads, aluminum intake manifold, special camshaft, and distributor.

This is my 3rd and final entry for the RebelLUG battle pack contest. We could not use more than 150 pieces. My original plan had been to do two crab droids vs. 4 clones, but that used slightly over 1/3 of my allotted pieces. I kept adding more, and was surprised at how many builds I was able to get done with so few pieces.

Sunset into early twilight offers the best balance between the very bright station lights and an evening sky, with some traffic light trails for added interest; but to get them all together I ended up taking 120 exposures over 46 minutes. First the post sunset but still sunlit clouds at top were captured with just a regular polarizer, at that time most of the station lights were still off. Then some long exposures of the sunset sky were done using neutral density filters and the polarizer. As the station lights came on the neutral density filter was substituted with a Gold-N-Blue polarizer to add/keep some color in the then darkening sky (most visible in the upper right third of the image above); in between which a number of exposures were made of passing vehicles to capture some light trails. From those 6 light trail exposures were selected and combined using lighten layer mode, to which 2 earlier exposures of the sky - one short and one long exposure - were blended together with the sky and light trail images using layer modes and masks yielding the sunset with station light image I came hoping to capture. The 8 exposures used spanned 13 minutes of the sunset; most of the other exposures taken were of various vehicle light trails that were ultimately not used… see tags for additional details. Really looking forward to when the Orange Line opens next month and there'll be some bus and light rail cross traffic light trails to capture and play with, on some future evening with a great sunset/twilight sky again.

173:3 Jaba, v. ante. So also the Lalitā (verse 147), "whose body is like the China rose."
With heavy, high, and close-set breasts,
Dark of colour, and with dishevelled hair.
At time of recitation I remember the Mother,
Lustrous as the scarlet hibiscus,
Her body pasted with saffron and sandal,
Her hair kissed by musk;
The Mother with smiling eyes,
With red garland, ornaments, and raiment,
Who holds the arrow, bow, noose, and goad;
The charmer of countless men.

Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.
Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.
La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.
La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.
Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:
la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes
la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.
En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:
un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero
una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.
The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.
We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.
The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.
From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:
The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses
the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.
In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.
a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.
In front of a toy store a man was crying looking at a doll he couldn't afford.
An old man was passing by and asked him:
Why are you crying?
The sobbing man replied:
What a bitch of my life I don't have money to offer a doll to my beautiful daughter!
The old man pulled and a book handed him telling him!
Offer him this BOOK.
The man looked at the BOOK and replied:
But the book has nothing written!
Go and Offer it to your Girl.
The girl opened the book, flipped through it, one with a happy laugh said father:
What a beautiful gift, my dear father, it was the best gift you could give, this BOOK OF STORY.
The father nodded.
A very old lady still has it, open to the story she likes the most:
The story of the night an old magician gave a book to a man who was crying because he couldn't give his daughter a gift.
If you offer it, give it to Love!!!
Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

Literacy offered a point of entry into the upper ranks of the fur trade. This explains why you would see more Scots and Yankees than working-class Londoners, southerners, or French Canadians in these roles in the US fur trade.
There are some interesting family dynamics in whether and how Euro-American fathers sought education for their children with Indigenous mothers.

The Sun continues to offer its daily show through its various active regions. This image is far from being a good solar image, however it allows us to appreciate the distribution of sunspots that can be seen in recent days. Although solar activity has been considered at low levels, here you can see eleven groups of spots that vary in classification and size. The active regions have numbers of spots ranging from two to a maximum of twenty, while in size, the largest is the active region 3690 towards the top of this photograph which reaches around 320 millionths of a solar hemisphere and a size 10 in the smallest ones.

There are usually two different tours offered by the ice cave tour operators: an approximately three-hour tour that takes you to an ice cave for a tour of the ice cave and a five- to six-hour tour of a remote ice cave. This latter tour is connected with an approximately one-hour hike across the glacier. Since this "fatigue" deters many tourists, the cave is also less crowded. This, in turn, is the reason why I usually choose the longer tour. However, this year my plan did not work out: in the Breiðamerkurjökull east of the Jökulsárlón, there were no further ice caves available, so that all tours had the so-called "Crystal Cave" as their destination. Accordingly, the number of visitors was a bit higher and it was not possible to photograph the cave completely without people. However, the people do not even bad as a scale...
I was having coffee as usual this morning as I battle with sleep! I saw this sky from my apt. I rushed and drove to a clearing to watch this beautiful moment unfold. It was worth it!
offers rays of giant sandstone. They look different shape from different angle. Definitely worth some time to walk around and look at them.
The coastal lochs of Scotland offered an excellent opportunity for a former mariner and wannabe pub owner. The Tug Pub sailed from town to town along the coast serving spirits, beer, simple fare, and fantastic ambiance.
This build is based on a painting by one of my favorite artists, "Here Comes the Pub" by Rory Kennedy.
I found his profile a little over a year ago and immediately fell in love with his high-contrast style. The Tug Pub caught my eye as something that would convert well into LEGO brick, and here it is! This is isn't the most technically advanced project, but it is genuinely one of the most 'fun' builds I've completed in some time. I hope the charm of Rory's original work show through into the brick-built version.
