This art by Gary Simmons is titled "The Lineup." it is at least life sized and made of acrylic on wood with gold plated basketball shoes. I had assumed it was inspired by the movie "The Usual Suspects" but was surprised to see that this art predated the movie by two years.
The original Runcorn - Widnes road bridge (known as the Silver Jubilee Bridge) is presently closed as it receives a major refurbishment. Behind it is the railway bridge (known as the Ethelfleda Bridge) which predates it and which carries all the mainline West Coast rail services to and from Liverpool. Here's a Wikipedia link to an article about the Silver Jubilee Bridge - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Jubilee_Bridge and here is a link about the railway bridge from the same source - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcorn_Railway_Bridge
Dabchick ( poliocephal;us rufopectus ) Mum, to the bird in the previous image...
These particular birds live very close to housing and Industry yet raise chicks to maturity every year.
I believe they, recognising that predators such as ferrets, Stoats and Weasels are absent, rather run the gauntlet with humans.
Cats, though present do predate Ducks around the pond edge. Grebes, I guess remain safe-ish as they spend most of their time on the water

Taichung Park is located on the site of the original settlement that predates the founding of Taichung City, making it one of the longest-standing landmarks in the city. The park itself was established over 100 years ago during the Ching Dynasty and was developed further under the Japanese colonial authorities, who completed it in 1903 and built the park's famous pavilions as a special residence for the visiting Japanese crown prince. More than any other landmark, the distinctive pavilions remain the most enduring symbol of Taichung City.

We are already going down from the tower. Here you can see small mosque, standing near the fortress in Počitelj :)
Počitelj is a settlement and a historic village in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Municipality of Čapljina. Its walled nucleus is protected National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina and an open-air museum. The settlement is situated on the left bank of the river Neretva. The earliest mention of or recorded reference to Počitelj is in charters of king Alfonso V and Fridrich III from 1444 to 1448. However, the village most likely predates these documents. In the period between 1463–1471 the town housed a Hungarian garrison and was fortified into a strategic defense stronghold. In 1471, following a brief siege, the town was conquered by the Ottomans, and remained within the Ottoman Empire until 1878. After the establishment of Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, Počitelj lost its strategic importance and started deteriorating rapidly. The population declined gradually. The loss of the town's strategic role assisted in the preservation of the original urban architectural ensemble, so that the town remained in its original form to present day. Počitelj represents one of the most important and best preserved architectural ensembles within the city walls in the region. The town can be compared with some of the noted world heritage sites as the old towns of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Ohrid (North Macedonia), Safranbolu (Turkey), Gjirokastër (Albania).

Powoli schodzimy już z wieży. Na zdjęciu niewielki meczet stojący obok twierdzy w Počitelj :)
Počitelj – wieś w południowo-zachodniej Bośni i Hercegowinie, w kantonie hercegowińsko-neretwiańskim. Leży w dolnym biegu rzeki Neretwy, około 30 kilometrów na południe od Mostaru. Znajduje się tu jeden z najlepiej zachowanych zespołów urbanistycznych z okresu dominacji tureckiej na terytorium Bośni i Hercegowiny. Nad miastem górują pozostałości średniowiecznej tureckiej twierdzy wzniesionej na gruzach starożytnego rzymskiego zamku. Pierwsza osada powstała w okresie rzymskim. W późniejszym okresie swoją kryjówkę mieli tutaj piraci. W XV wieku cały ten teren znalazł się pod władzą króla Węgier Macieja Korwina, który przy pomocy Dubrownika odbudował dawne rzymskie fortyfikacje, tym razem przeciw Turkom. Już po kilkudziesięciu latach (w 1471r.) Turcy zdobyli te tereny i do XVIII wieku Počitelj z krótką przerwą znalazł się w granicach Wysokiej Porty. W tym czasie powiększono fortyfikacje (powstała m.in. wysoka wieża, tzw. Kula Gavran-kapetanovića). Miejscowość została poważnie zniszczona w czasie wojny w Bośni, a wielu mieszkańców wymordowano. Najbardziej ucierpiał meczet Hadži-Alija – najpierw uszkodził go serbski ostrzał artyleryjski, następnie został wysadzony przez wojsko chorwackie. Zawaliła się kopuła oraz minaret. Inne obiekty także ucierpiały. Większość z nich w pierwszym dziesięcioleciu XXI wieku została zrekonstruowana.

A series of shots taken at Swansea Vale Duckpond . As a rule the Canada Geese here have a clutch of four or more , but this year, there was only one. I can only assume therefore that the others were predated on by a black backed gull .
2 of the 3 Osprey chicks have dissappeared in the last 4 days and it is likely they were predated by Bald Eagles.
The nest was located very close to a marina and heavy boat traffic disturbance likely facilitated the predation by Bald Eagles.
Flood debris rests on top of the large rock in the center of the Colorado River. The debris probably predates the completion of the Glenn Canyon Dam in 1966. For scale, please note the raft on the right side of the rock.

This wasn't what I had planned. I have a California Gull in flight which predates my other "first bird" in flight by a year. But, when I clicked on it, this came up instead.
Anyway, my relationship with gulls has been a love/don't like one from the beginning when, on the east coast, a Herring Gull stole half my sandwich from me while I was taking a break on the quay outside the factory. No lunch trucks in those days, so I went half hungry until quitting time.
Anyhoooo, they're noisy. They're thieves. Wait a sec. That's what I said about jays. Okay, they noisy thieves, one of which crapped on a brand new jacket on the Monterey boardwalk! There, that's sufficient.
But, they're also beautiful once having reached adulthood. We have quite a few species, but the California Gull is one of the few that comes inland to this neck of the ... Strait. This one was parked at the Duck Pond on the Carquinez Strait in Martinez. He wasn't going to be bothered flying off. That was left to all the plovers and stilts. Instead, he was fishing, and I was following ... for five minutes. Have to thank him for just sitting by the bank.
Btw, in Europe, the most common name for a gull is the Mew Gull. As I said to somebody this morning, isn't that redundant, a Gull Gull?
6/8/21 was our second full day in the park. We drove down to the southern section and passed this super charming hotel along the way. Built in 1856 as Big Trees Lodge, it predates the 1890 creation of Yosemite National Park. It is an original CA mountain resort hotel and a National Historic Landmark.
HWW!
This Odinist Temple is the first that I have ever found to worship in the Odinist faith, the ancient religion that predates Christianity. This is the religion that was originally the religion of N. Europe, Scandinavia and Britain. I found this temple entirely by accident, just walking around little streets that I had never walked down before.
Built around 1556, this small stone built structure on Bede House Lane was originally a Christian Chapel and has been a listed, protected building since 1950.

The "Alport Stone," is a prominent pillar of quarried gritstone, a natural landmark on Alport Heights, near Wirksworth, Derbyshire.
It's a local landmark with views of the Derwent and Ecclesbourne Valleys. The National Trust acquired 9 acres of land near the summit in 1930, making it one of their first Derbyshire acquisitions and providing free access to the site.
The stone itself likely predates the late 19th century, as it's visible on a 1st edition OS map from around 1880.

It is situated in the Knightsfield area of Welwyn Garden City in the county of Hertfordshire and long predates the building of the town. The current house was built as a commodious country gentleman's home, in an architectural style that can best be described as neoclassical. A portico, with four massive Ionic columns, on the south front is its most impressive external feature. (found in Wiki)
Le passage Lemonnier est un passage couvert au centre de Liège en Belgique qui abrite des commerces de tous types. Il relie le Vinâve d'Île à la rue de l'Université et est traversé, en son centre, par la rue Lulay-des-Fèbvres. Construit entre 1836 et 1838 par les architectes Louis-Désiré Lemonnier et Henri-Victor Beaulieu, le passage Lemonnier, dont le nom fut tiré au sort entre les deux maîtres d'œuvre, est le plus ancien passage commercial couvert de Belgique ; il précède de huit ans les Galeries royales Saint-Hubert de l'architecte Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar inaugurées à Bruxelles en 1847.
C'est durant les années 1934-1937, sous la conduite du directeur-gérant de l'époque et de l'architecte Henri Snyers, qu'il fut fondamentalement transformé dans le style Art déco que nous lui connaissons encore aujourd'hui.
The Passage Lemonnier is a covered passage in the centre of Liège in Belgium that houses shops of all types. It connects the Vinâve d'Île to the rue de l'Université and is crossed, in its centre, by the rue Lulay-des-Fèbvres. Built between 1836 and 1838 by the architects Louis-Désiré Lemonnier and Henri-Victor Beaulieu, the Passage Lemonnier, whose name was drawn by lot between the two project managers, is the oldest covered shopping passage in Belgium; it predates by eight years the Galeries royales Saint-Hubert by the architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar inaugurated in Brussels in 1847.
It was during the years 1934-1937, under the direction of the managing director at the time and the architect Henri Snyers, that it was fundamentally transformed in the Art Deco style that we still know today
Old St John ruins.
The first documentary evidence of the church dates from 1201, sited close to the sacred spring of St John the Baptist which issues from just east of its chancel, making one think that this must be an ancient site whose sacredness predates Christianity.
A biography of the church on the Facebook page Haunted History says a charter of 1353 granted permission for an annual three-day fair on Boughton Green to celebrate the nativity of St John the Baptist.
Woodcrafts and agricultural implements were sold on the first day, festivities with wrestling and horse racing on the second and cattle were sold on the third.
There was a turf maze known as "The Shepherd’s Race", which was still visible in 1946, but the land is now ploughed as farmland. (www.northantslive.news/news/northamptonshire-news/history...)

This place isn't always treated with the respect it deserves. It's off the beaten track location and ancient history attracts thrill seekers and ghost hunters.
Reconciliation is not an end point of practice. It's a beginning place for continuing to free your heart.
Phillip Moffitt, “May All Things be Reconciled”
I'm focused these days on forgiveness and in so doing I'm addressing issues that I make a point of at least trying .... to overcome fears and open my heart.
Not easy but necessary, and this way the responsibility lies firmly in my hands.
This will likely be the last Nightjar I see of the season now the last night I had has been predated, possibly by a Tawny Owl having watched a Tawny pester them for hours a couple nights in a row.
Over-all though it's been a very successful year with 2 chicks each fledged bar one pair. This female is gearing up to leave as this was the first time I've seen her all year, roosting up off the ground. Probably a nice change after being lead in poo all season long.
This is Pops, our new rescue pig, enjoying some tunnel time. Piggies are never happier than when they have a roof over their heads, like in a tunnel or box. Their ancestors were a predated species in the wild and they feel at risk from raptors, foxes and carnivores in general and feel safer if they can retreat under cover if there's any danger approaching.

First of a B&W urban series on homelessness in Seattle. Prominently visible from the breakfast room at my hotel, but I went down to the street for a better angle.
One could pursue this theme in any American city. I don’t claim that the series is in any way definitive or systematic. I just shot some of what I saw walking through generally prosperous commercial and residential neighborhoods on the north side of downtown. Homelessness in America used to be a mental health problem. That hasn’t been fixed—some of it will show up in this series—but now there is also “economic homelessness”. Due to limited availability, in many places those with a median income can not afford median housing costs. The problem predates Covid.
For the Brits: “median” is American for “central reservation”, the green belt separating traffic on multi-lane roads.
Happy Mono Monday, anyway!

One of Australia's most elegant snakes, this venomous whipsnake is found in tropical and semi-arid woodlands in northern Australia. Not often seen, they are a fast-moving snake that are active during the day and mainly predate on skinks
The colour running down the front half of this animal was some of the most incredible patterning I have seen on a snake!
Here is a look back to another favorite shot from 2018 that I'd not shared before as it predated this page and my Flickr account.
This was from my first trip back to the old Green Mountain Railroad in decades after recently moving back to New England (though I've made many more since). I intercepted the Saturday unit slurry train (263) and followed it down to Bellows Falls then chased 264 back west up and over the mountains.
Here is westbound 264 passing the original Rutland era freight house in Gassetts, MP B17.9 on the Bellows Falls Subdivision mainline with a dramatic sky.
Leading the train in VRS company red is Clarendon and Pittsford 204 an EMD GP38-2 blt. Oct. 1973 as SCL 528. And trailing can be seen the nose of the famous VTR 431 an EMD SD70M-2 blt. Dec. 2006 as FEC 101.

The 17th century gatehouse on the Lanhydrock estate near Bodmin. The gatehouse predates most of the house as the original was largely destroyed by fire in 1881.
The American Dust Bowl started not far from here in the Oklahoma Panhandle and this house predates that. Hard to imagine how difficult life was here on this farm with no rain and no crops.
This fox had just swallowed something it had eaten, still chewing on whatever it was.
This was taken in October, the early part of winter when you live in the Arctic. The first snows will usually cover the tundra in September and will stay until late May the following year.
Red Fox will feed on rodents they hear burrowing under the snow. They will also predate the Arctic Fox as well. Man leaves a lot of waste food around for the fox to consume as well.

"The glossy ibis inhabits swamps, mudflats and lakes throughout much of the Australian mainland. Unlike the most commonly recognised Australian white ibis, they are less frequently found in suburbia and, up close, these beautiful birds showcase a stunning, iridescent, reddish-brown plumage! They are the smallest of all species of ibis and predate upon insects, larvae, frogs, fish and small lizards."
A very cautious bird intelligent and wary anything out of the ordinary and their gone !! Shows what great survivors and hunters these birds are in their own right this one has got what I first thought was a frog but its actually a rodent silly silly distance shot this is a record shot really.

Located at Fort Worden near Port Townsend, Jefferson County, WA it actually predates the fort. It was supposedly built by Reverend John Alexander for his Scottish bride. After acquiring 10 acres near Point Wilson he constructed a home to be reminiscent of his homeland. Upon his return to Scotland, he found his bride-to-be had married another. He lived in the castle only a short period. It later served several purposes under the US Army after Fort Worden was established for the protection of Puget Sound.
It is available for vacation rentals.

I know they nest in trees. But it still feels so odd to have them standing around up there instead of doing their usual wading and predating!
St Mary's Chapel is a late 12th-early 13th century chapel found in Rattray, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was built by William Comyn, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan during the same period as the Castle of Rattray and was "private chapel for the castle" and its residents.
This ancient site has associations with people and families who have influenced the course of history in Scotland and beyond.
The Chapel, which was constructed in the 13th century, is one of the oldest structures still standing in North East Scotland. The use of this site for religious purposes almost certainly predates the Chapel through an association with the spread of Christianity in Buchan during the 6th to 8th centuries
Golden Eye with duckling family : Finland/Russia border May 2016. Took these pics on the Sunday and by Monday all the ducklings were predated.... Tough life for these ducks, they nest in holes in trees and the ducklings do the leap of faith from around 20 ft onto soft ground before making their way to the nearest water — with Mark Molloy.
The bridge, which connects the island of Anglesey in North Wales to the UK mainland, was designed by Thomas Telford and built in 1826.
The adjacent house predates it and was originally a smugglers retreat. It was purchased generations ago from the crown by the Rathbone family of Liverpool and is still used by them as a luxurious holiday home.

In April 2021 I camped out at Lanyon Quoit to photograph the Lyrid Meteor Shower.
I took over 750 photographs between 1am and 4.30am and managed to capture a good amount of meteorites (along with the occasional satellite).
It was an amazing experience to sit here and observe the event, especially at a place so engrained in his history.
Lanyon Quoit is a neolithic dolmen which predates both the pyramids in Egypt and metal tools. It's original purpose is believed to have been a burial chamber of a large mound that once covered it. Some believe that it was possibly a mausoleum and the backdrop to ritual ceremonies, especially as it's form is aligned with cardinal points. Either way, it's a pretty special place to spend time at.
A view under the bridge that carries the so-called 'Stour Valley' line from Birmingham into Wolverhampton station, until 1972 suffixed 'High Level' to distinguish it from the Low Level station, which closed to passengers that year. This is the access road to the former Low Level station, whose main building has been repurposed as the Grand Station Conference and Events Venue Wolverhampton.
The pub is the Great Western, appropriately named for the company that built and ran Low Level station, which opened in 1854 after completing the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway, known from its initials as Old Worse and Worse. The pub actually predated the railway, an ale house having been opened as The Board five years earlier, the name changing with the opening of the station.
Pitstone Mill - Oldest Post Mill in the British Isles (so it is claimed) ??
Pitstone Windmill stands between Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework. This is one of the earliest dates to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. As frequent repairs are likely to have been required over time made it is quite possible the mill predates 1627.
The design of the mill is what is known as a post-mill. This means the whole superstructure of the mill rests on one main post. This post arises from ground level through brick and a foundation chamber; the post then acts as a pivot for the timber built structure above with the sails. Consequently, the upper section of the mill and sails could be turned towards the direction of the wind. (reinforcements added in the 20th century now prevent the upper section from turning). The mill machinery in the upper rotating section was reached by a long flight of external steps.
The architectural highlight of gothic Highgate Cemetary was walking through Egyptian Avenue out into the Circle of Lebanon. It is a breathtaking structure of twenty sunken tombs built around the roots of an ageing and ancient Cedar of Lebanon tree, from which the Circle gets its name.
Sadly, due to major structural problems and serious decay of the tree, which predates the cemetery itself, it had to be cut down and removed; a new, small one has been planted in the same place.
Still in Northumberland and the last 2 days have been all play - 2.5 hours on Inner Farne on Tuesday and the all day trip to Staple Island and Inner Farne yesterday. Basically you've been warned as postings for a while will be on a certain theme.
This was a grab shot whilst focusing on puffins - there was a lot of noise and commotion, well even more than the usual din, from the cliff top nesting guillemots nearby. A herring gull was attempting to drop in amongst them, to predate young or an egg no doubt, and the guillemots all raised their beaks to the sky as one and called out in warning to the gull. I only got the feet of the gull in shot however I quite like the sense of not seeing what on earth they're all looking at.

Nerja, Costa del Sol, Andalusia, Southern Spain.
Nerja Coordinates,,,,,,,: 36°44′49″N 3°52′44″W
Nerja has a long history, evidenced by the primitive paintings found in its famous Nerja caves, discovered in 1959. These caves are now believed to be just one entrance to a linked series of sinkholes[clarification needed] stretching many miles into the mountains between Nerja and Granada, and which may yet prove to be one of the most extensive unexplored systems in Europe.
The Romans built three settlements here, including Detunda, of which now large remains can be seen. The area was later taken over by the Arabs in the early 8th century. Under the Moors, the town was known as Narixa, which means "abundant spring", from which the present name derives.
The Balcón de Europa, a mirador or viewpoint which gives views across the sea, is in the centre of the old town. Its name is popularly believed to have been coined by King Alfonso XII, who visited the area in 1885 following a disastrous earthquake and was captivated by the scene. Local folklore says that he stood upon the site where the Balcón now stands, and said "This is the balcony of Europe". Local archive documents are said to show that its name predated this visit, but this has not prevented the authorities from placing a life-sized (and much photographed) statue of the king standing by the railing.

I spent a delightful Saturday sunset with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group at Half Moon Bay in Black Rock where we ate delicious fish and hot chips from the Cerberus Beach House before wandering along the beach to the sandstone pillars for sunset.
Half Moon Bay is a beautiful beach located in the Melbourne suburb of Black Rock, about twenty-two kilometers south-east of Mebourne's centre.
In the bay the iconic shipwreck of the HMVS Cerberus sits just above the waterline. A naval vessel that predates Australian Federation in 1901, this ship is both living history and testament to Australia's maritime tradition.
Since its decommissioning shortly after the Great War, the HMVS Cerberus has served as a breakwater.
In addition to the bay and the HMVS Cerberus, there are also the wonderful sandstone cliffs of Red Bluff. Viewed at sunset their many colours are on full show and you could be forgiven for thinking momentarily that you were in Utah.

Moerbeek Castle
Moerbeek Castle predates 1835.
In 1866, the existing castle was demolished and replaced by a new one. This was repeated in 1899. The third castle was further extended in 1908. In 1965, this castle too was demolished. The old caretaker's house, the only building remaining of the castle, was extended.
------------------------
Kasteel Moerbeek dateert van voor 1835.
In 1866 werd het bestaande kasteel afgebroken en vervangen door een nieuw. Dit werd herhaald in 1899. Het derde kasteel werd in 1908 verder uitgebreid. In 1965 werd ook dit kasteel afgebroken. De oude conciërgewoning, het enige gebouw dat nog rest van het kasteel, werd uitgebreid.
The fine C14th vaulted roof of the nave of Tewkesbury Abbey is in the Decorated style with bosses at each intersecting rib. The ribs spring from the Norman columns which predate this roof by about 200-300 years.
As part of re-wilding it is suggested the European lynx should be re-introduced to the Scottish Highlands. Apparently it is naturally predated by wolves, but could be a useful part of efforts to both encourage, and reduce some species of wildlife. Having seen the lynx, and this one insisted on looking like he was stalking me, but he wouldn't stand still long enough for me to get a sharp shot
