Unfortunately I did not have enough focal length, but I'm still proud that I was finally able to photograph this amazing bird. Cropped... Have a beautiful day!
Paquette and Gilles, 2 UN Peacekeepers attending the 75th Anniversary of D-Day at the War Memorial Monument in Canada's Capital today. Ottawa.
Determined to end four years of often-brutal German occupation, on 6 June 1944, Allied forces invaded Western Europe along an 80-kilometre front in Normandy, France. Of the nearly 150,000 Allied troops who landed or parachuted into the invasion area, 14,000 were Canadians. They assaulted a beachfront code-named “Juno”, while Canadian paratroopers landed just east of the assault beaches. Although the Allies encountered German defences bristling with artillery, machine guns, mines, and booby-traps, the invasion was a success.
Other Canadians helped achieve this victory. The Royal Canadian Navy contributed 110 ships and 10,000 sailors in support of the landings while the R.C.A.F. had helped prepare the invasion by bombing targets inland. On D- Day and during the ensuing campaign, 15 R.C.A.F. fighter and fighter-bomber squadrons helped control the skies over Normandy and attacked enemy targets. On D-Day, Canadians suffered 1074 casualties, including 359 killed.
The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco skyscraper, Manhattan, New York City, Although the Chrysler Building was designed and built specifically as a headquarters for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for its construction and never owned it;
Originally the project of a real estate developer, the building was taken over and financed by Walter Chrysler, then founder and head of Chrysler Corporation. Walter Chrysler decided to fund the entire cost of building work so his children could have something valuable to inherit .
Built about the same time as Empire State Building The construction of the Chrysler Building, was characterized by a competition with 40 Wall Street and the Empire State Building to become the world's tallest building.

Engineer Bash (left) and Conductor Weaver (right) pose for a photo after tying NS 1070 down at the west end of Silvis yard on Thursday. They used the 1070 all morning to build the outbound BICB and were getting ready for their lunch break.
NS 1070 is on its fourth trip with the Cedar Rapids coal train onto the Iowa Interstate. ADM in Cedar Rapids is having problems unloading the coal, so the Wabash heritage will be hanging around a bit longer.

What is a photo? I don't know exactly and I don't know if a photography can be read in the same way from everybody, but this, this picture, for me, is the memory of a dream, forever over my memory.
Thanks Fede
She was staring at me from the other side of my bed, I couldn't help but snap a photo of her! :)
Explored - #360, December 27, 2008!
I can not stop searching for the mountains and observing the light that is shine on its peaks.
In Senja, Norway, the reflection of this summit on a spot of water overlaps with parts of the surface saying: Despite the cracks, I will remain proud!
This guy sure is sticking out his chest and giving his best posture - probably trying to impress the ladies.
The design of PPG Place, by Philip Johnson and John Burgee, melds the notion of the modern corporate tower with a neo-gothic monument. Clad in almost a million square feet of glass manufactured by the anchor tenant PPG industries, the architects ingeniously rethought accepted practices in curtain wall design to create "the crown jewel in Pittsburgh's skyline." The 1.57 million square foot complex was one in a series of high profile corporate projects completed during Johnson's controversial foray into postmodernism. Commissioned by PPG Industries, formerly the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, the headquarters occupies a 5.5 acre site in the central business district and was part of an urban revitalization effort after the demise of the steel industry. PPG Place is a cluster of 6 volumes: a 40 story tower, a 14 story volume, and four 6 story buildings. The composition of lower volumes negotiates the verticality of the main tower and the lower surrounding context, yet all buildings are materially integrated and organized around a central plaza. The buildings house office space, retail shops, restaurants, and a publicly accessible winter garden.

Peafowl is a common name for three bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens. Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage, which is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted 'tail' or 'train' of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.
Despite the length and size of the covert feathers, the peacock is still capable of flight. The peafowl lives mainly on the ground in open forests or on cultivable lands where it forages for berries and grains, and also preys on snakes, lizards and small rodents. It makes loud calls, which makes it easier to detect, and are often used to indicate the presence of a predator in the forest areas. It forages on the ground in small groups and usually escapes on foot through undergrowth and avoids flying, though it flies into tall trees to roost. 17343

Proud is the title I think of when I take a look at this shot.
It shows my wife in a cab in New York taken in 2012. This year we will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and that makes me proud. Proud that I have a beautiful wife and proud that we are still a couple.
Having wrapped up their work over on the East Providence side, Providence and Worcester Railroad local freight PR-3 is now headed south toward the Port of Providence for the rest of their days work. This is the official timetable end of the Main Line at MP 5.1 (as measured from Union Station) at this one time junction known as 'Boston Switch' and from here to Cranston Yard they will be on Amtrak property. Visible to the right and partially obscured by the spring greenery is the crumbling tile roofed pagoda style interlocking tower here where Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline down from Boston curls in from the northeast. Sharp eyes will note the white painted concrete New Haven Railroad era milepost 190 at the right edge of the frame.
That line was built as the Boston & Providence in 1847 as a new route into the city from East Jct. near South Attleboro, MA. Their original 1835 route traveled to East Providence where passengers and freight were ferried across the Providence River into downtown. From this point to Union Station the P&W (which opened its line into Providence that same year) and B&P were operated a joint facility. In 1892 the P&W was leased to the New Haven and a year later the former B&P (by then in the Old Colony fold) joined the growing empire and both routes now fell under the aegis of the same company.
In 1914 a massive grade separation and line relocation project in Pawtucket took place. This was about the eastern limits of the work and according to Edward J. Ozog's phenomenal Railroad's of Rhode Island site:
"SS 156 was built to protect the east end of the line relocation. Switches and signals were operated by electricity. The plan of the tower was similar to SS 154 built at the same time at the west end of the relocation but adjusted for its location and orientation. The tower was reduced to short hours when the depression struck and it was closed in 1935 and its duties transferred to Woodlawn Tower. In 1937 the interlocking machine was sent to Bridgeport for use in SS 60.".
Remarkably some 87 years after the last shift was worked here it still stands guard as a tangible link to the Ocean State's railroading heritage. And interestingly though named 'Boston Switch' there is no longer an actual switch here and the closest physical connection (even though technically Amtrak property begins here) is about 1.4 miles ahead at LAWN interlocking.
GP38-2s 2008 and 2006 are original to the road having been built new for the then only 7 year independent company by EMD in Dec. and Feb. 1980 respectively), and they still proudly wear their red and brown colors despite being a member of the Genesee and Wyoming family for more than six years already.
