One of the oldest and most beautiful buildings on campus, Talcott was built in 1886 and has been renovated extensively. Talcott is a second-year and above hall. Two Resident Assistants provide a variety of programs; some are geared towards career or graduate school searches.
Talcott Hall is the home of the Kosher Halal Co-Op, an innovative program where Oberlin's Jewish and Muslim communities cook and eat together according to religious and cultural dietary practices. Many students, faculty, and staff (including non-Jews and non-Muslims) frequently participate in the large Shabbat dinners on Friday nights and celebrations of Jewish and Muslim holidays here. Oberlin Hillel Shabbat services also take place here.
I was on the run to get this before the colour faded and was fortunate enough to find some water in a ditch to catch some reflection (and perspective).

Schloss Favorite is a Baroque maison de plaisance and hunting lodge in Ludwigsburg, Germany. It is located on a rise, directly north of Ludwigsburg Palace.
The Schloss was built from 1717 to 1723 for the sovereign Duke of Württemberg, Eberhard Ludwig.
Finally had a chance to get there when there weren't many people around. :-) Hope everyone has a great weekend!
One of those shots where if I managed to take two steps to the left the composition would have been perfect, unfortunately I was standing right of the edge of the loch as it was. I think it looks good in black and white to emphasise the mist and contrast with the trees in the distance.
Un monastero millenario incastonato nel mare, nei pressi di Camogli nella baia omonima, luogo detto anche Capodimonte, all'interno del parco terrestre e marino del Monte di Portofino. Un piccolo gioiello che ha una storia molto antica e che è stato generosamente donato al FAI. L'abbazia non è raggiungibile da alcuna arteria stradale, ma vi si può accedere soltanto via mare oppure percorrendo due panoramici sentieri: uno che scende dal soprastante monte di Portofino e l'altro che percorre la costa partendo dalla baia di Portofino. - Abbazia di San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte - Camogli (Genova)
An ancient monastery set in the sea, near Camogli in the bay of the same name, also called Capodimonte, inside the terrestrial and marine park of Monte di Portofino. A small jewel that has a very ancient history and that has been generously donated to the FAI. The abbey cannot be reached by any road artery, but can be accessed only by sea or by following two panoramic paths: one that descends from the overlying Portofino mountain and the other that runs along the coast starting from the bay of Portofino. - Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte - Camogli (Genova)

I'm glad to see you all have been so productive. See you!:)

Quail
Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden
From Cornell:
Gambel’s Quail are gregarious birds of the desert Southwest, where coveys gather along brushy washes and cactus-studded arroyos to feed. Males and females both sport a bobbing black topknot of feathers. The male’s prominent black belly patch distinguishes it from the similar California Quail (the two species' ranges don't overlap). This ground-hugging desert dweller would rather run than fly—look for these tubby birds running between cover or posting a lookout on low shrubs.
You’re most likely to see Gambel’s Quail in groups (coveys) on the ground, walking and foraging or scurrying between patches of cover. When alarmed they break suddenly into flights that tend to cover short distances but can be up to half a mile. Otherwise their flights are confined to “short hops” up to roosting spots and across barriers such as canyons. Look for groups feeding on vegetation together in the early morning and late afternoon. The covey spends midday in shaded, brushy spots screened from predators, such as a wash or vegetated fenceline where the birds take dust baths, preen, and sleep. Coveys tend to be family groups with an adult pair and up to 16 young that stay together in a home range well into fall. In winter, several coveys often combine to feed together. By later winter or early spring, these larger coveys break up again, and a few birds —mainly juveniles and males—join new coveys. As the breeding season approaches, male Gambel’s Quail find an elevated perch—often a fence post, tree, or shrub—and give a kaa or cow call. Courting males perform a ritualized foraging display called “tidbitting” to attract a mate. As a female approaches, the tidbitting male extends his legs, fans his tail, and stands with his head near the ground and tail in the air. He may also offer the female bits of food. Gambel’s Quail are considered socially monogamous, but some females desert a mate and her brood to take a new mate and lay another clutch, leaving her original partner to raise the chicks on his own.

14th June 2015 - British Aircraft Corporation TSR 2 XR220 taken in the morning sun on a rare outing outside her hangar at the RAF Cosford 2015 airshow.
The Following is taken from the museum website:
Although never developed beyond the prototype stage, the British Aircraft Corporation TSR2 was one of the most exciting and controversial British combat aircraft designs of the 1960s. The cancellation of the project is a subject of great debate to this day.
During the mid 1950s, the increasing sophistication of air defence systems led the RAF to consider the procurement of a high speed, low level strike and reconnaissance aircraft to replace the English Electric Canberra. In October 1957, the Ministry of Supply released the first specification for such an aircraft.
On 1 January 1959 the Ministry of Supply announced a design had been selected for production. Christened the TSR2 (Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance Mach 2), this aircraft was developed by a joint design team. A contract for eleven TSR2 prototypes was concluded on 6 October 1960, the first (XR219) made its maiden flight from Boscombe Down on 27 September 1964.
By 31 March 1965 XR219 had completed twenty-four flights, and a second, the aircraft you see here, was to join the programme. Initial reports indicated that the TSR2 was an outstanding technical success. However political opposition to the project led to it being cancelled from 6 April 1965.
