Prompted on World Parrot Day, and with the extraordinary co-operative effort of the photographer, here we have a rare find.
This kākāpō chick was in the able care of hands from the Kākāpō Recovery Program . The photographer was the enthralled witness to this scene.
Please don't ask for more details as refusal may offend…or I might have to cook my own dinner.
Pronunciation tip: it sounds like car-car-paw

"Fort Popham is a Civil War-era coastal defense fortification at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg, Maine. It is located in sight of the short-lived Popham Colony and, like the colony, named for George Popham, the colony's leader. The site is preserved as Fort Popham State Historic Site.
Construction of Fort Popham was authorized in 1857 as part of the Third System of fortifications but did not begin until 1861. The fort was built from granite blocks quarried on nearby Fox and Dix Islands. It had a 30-foot (9 m)-high wall facing the mouth of the Kennebec River and was built in a crescent shape, measuring approximately 500 feet (150 m) in circumference.
During the closing months of the American Civil War, from October 1864 to July 1865, the fort was garrisoned by the 7th Unassigned Company of Maine Infantry. The 7th Company was commanded by Captain Augustin Thompson, who is best known as the inventor of Moxie soda.
Fort Popham was originally designed to mount 42 heavy guns, a mix of 10-inch and 15-inch Rodman guns, but construction was halted in 1869 with only two of the planned three tiers completed. In the late 19th century, Fort Popham's armament consisted of 36 Rodman guns and some 300-pounder (10-inch) and smaller Parrott rifles. One of the Rodman guns was donated to the town of Bowdoinham to remember its soldiers who died in the Civil War. The cannon is still there. A 100-pounder (6.4-inch) Parrott rifle sits near the fort grounds; it was listed as being at the fort in 1903. The back side of Fort Popham was built with a low moated curtain containing a central gate and 20 musket ports.
War experience showed that masonry forts were vulnerable to modern rifled guns. As a result, in 1869 construction at Fort Popham stopped before the fortification was completed. The fort was garrisoned again after additional work was performed during the Spanish–American War and World War I. In the 1890s Fort Popham received new facilities for a controlled minefield in the river at the fort as part of the Endicott program of improved fortifications." (Wikipedia)

A modern light is displayed from a spindle atop the fort today. " (lighthousefriends.com)

In the pews at the Xime show. An exercise in onstage presentation, without actually providing entertainment - good experience for these music students, I guess.
Some days you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield.
Dans les bancs du salon Xime. Un exercice de présentation sur scène, sans réellement offrir de divertissement - une bonne expérience pour ces étudiants en musique, je suppose.

Given this by a Widow who was a member of Brentwood Photographic Club -- her Husband died 1993 in his darkroom -- she is still sorting out gear from the garage ! This was covered in DUST and 50mm lens had the start of 'Fungus Flecks' in front and rear surfaces which I cleaned off just in time due to many years in damp garage. She owns NIKON FE cameras so I have serviced them as much as I can for her. The OLYMPUS Spot Program is supposed to ' Eat Batteries' so I am taking them out when not being used.
Inspired by the Architectural wonders of Andreas, KingBrick and Stijn Oom.
I wanted to primarily test destruction in this build, but one thing led to another and I ended up making something with much more life and flavour than I had originally intended to create.

This is an early attempt to operate the mandelbulb program, based directly on someone else's m3p. It is a very interesting program although complex and skiddish. Just moving the same parameters from one place to another can change all kinds of things.
One of the few remaining T605s from Kenworth’s aborted wide cab engineering evaluation program from the early 2000s.
