Crossing a couple of fields, a herd of horses came over to see what I was up to and in another, a 'gang' of rams followed me across! I kept turning to check on them, as didn't want to be 'rammed'!! 😂

De villa Rams Woerthe in de Overijsselse vestingstad Steenwijk werd eind 19e eeuw in opdracht van de Steenwijker industrieel en filantroop Jan Hendrik Tromp Meesters als woonhuis gebouwd. Rams Woerthe, gebouwd in art-nouveau-stijl (oftewel jugendstil), kwam in 1899 gereed. De opdrachtgever Tromp Meesters heeft het huis slechts negen jaar bewoond. In 1908 overleed hij op 53-jarige leeftijd. Zijn weduwe wilde er niet blijven wonen en verkocht in 1917 het pand aan de gemeente Steenwijk voor de prijs van 90.000 gulden.
Bighorn rams in early morning light. Good things happen to photographers who get out early. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Pulling one from last year - a trip to one of our fly fishing lakes.
I forgot about the image - and wit improved software - it made for a beautiful image.
Full view of Sri Ram Temple, Ramadevara Betta, Ramanagara, Karnataka
Ramanagara is surrounded by natural granite rocks.In this region the iconic Hindi movie Sholay was shot. It is no surprise that this place is a haven for rock climbers and trekkers. To reach the temple one has to climb around 350 steps. The path leading to the top is enclosed by abundant greenery and the boulders, many of which have figures of Gods on them.

Over the last few weeks I've seen several weathervanes as we whizzed by in the car and weren't able to stop and photograph.
However, yesterday I spotted this one on a balcony of a house in Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne ... not somewhere you'd expect to see a weathervane!

Some time ago, I tried and failed to repair this lens - the focus has jammed. It's stuck on one focal length (just under 3 feet).
But it's not a bad length, as the reason to use this lens is the unusual, fun and sometimes swirly bokeh it produces.
... su'it street, victoria bc ... campers and motorhomes were a common sight on city streets during the pandemic when the US border was closed but they are just as common now because people are living in them, an unintended consequence of local population growth, high rents and a low vacancy rate for rental accommodations

Tim Ropers stainless steel sculpture of a Derby icon, not nearly as controversial as The Rings sited a few dozen feet away. It still has a Bizarro look to me.
This gentleman was enjoying the warmth of the sunshine on the rocky outcrop above the confluence of the Lamar River and Soda Butte Creek, Yellowstone National Park, on an extremely cold day. He didn't seem to mind much, though if you look very closely you can see his exhaled breath.
This is an adult bighorn sheep, but he doesn't yet have the largest curl on his horns. Give him a few years and he'll be one of the big boys.
I took this just a few minutes after sunrise while on a boat tour of lighthouses near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The last time I was on this tour, there was a long catwalk from the lighthouse to the keeper's house. Below is a piece from the Boothbay Register newspaper.
The Jan. 10, 2023 storm that blasted the Maine coast took a piece of Boothbay region maritime history. The storm destroyed the lighthouse walkway at the 1883 Ram Island Light Station and damaged the island’s landing area. The 214-foot walkway, a reconstruction of the original, was installed in 2002 to connect the five-acre island to the adjacent light tower. Its piers supported five 40-foot sections and one 14-foot section. Ryan said the process, from designing and fabrication on shore to installation on the island, took several months. “Regarding costs ... let’s just say it wasn’t inexpensive,” he said.
The original walkway had collapsed and was subsequently removed by the Coast Guard in the 1970s as part of its own restoration efforts, according to the Trust. Currently, the Trust stewards the island, lighthouse and other buildings, and the Ram Island Light Station is on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the Coast Guard maintains the light operation, which was automated in 1965. Ryan said the Coast Guard still has access to the light by way of a ladder on the north side of the tower, and there are no plans to rebuild the walkway.
“The best part of the state of Maine is out there on the water,” he said. “It's just natural. It's a wonderful spot. And being on the island you just get a great sense of, I don't know, whatever that is. History, and all that. It's all wrapped up. Nature, history, it's all there.”

This ram made me smile peeping round the shed to keep an eye on me as l walked past the croft he was on
This zodiac has its origins from the greek myth of Zeus sending Aries the ram at the last minute as a sacrificial scape goat, in place of obedient King Athamas having to sacrifice his beloved children as an offering to the Gods on Mount Laphystium:
"Thrixos and Helle were the son and daughter of King Athamas and his first wife Nephele. The king's second wife, Ino, was jealous and wished to kill his children. To accomplish this, she induced a famine in Boeotia, then falsified a message from the Oracle of Delphi that said Phrixos must be sacrificed to end the famine. Athamas was about to sacrifice his son atop Mount Laphystium when Aries, sent by Nephele, arrived...After arriving, Phrixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus"—Wikipedia, Aries (constellation)
Aries is also the ram with the golden fleece that Jason and the Argonauts pursued.
The ram in my photo is actually a hood ornament from a 1959 Dodge Ram.
Bighorns know there is a gap in the high fence that keeps them off the highway at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and use it to cross the highway. Dangerous for them, but the speed limit is 35 mph. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
WAT PHRA RAM (วัดพระราม)
Wat Phra Ram is a restored ruin located in the Historical Park of Ayutthaya in Pratu Chai Sub-district .
The exact time of its construction is not known as the various Chronicles of Ayutthaya
give different timings of its construction. The oldest version, the Luang Prasoet, written
during the Late Ayutthayan era, states its establishment in 1369. Wat Phra Ram was the first constructed temple at the time King Ramathibodi I passed away.
The whole kingship is about the possession of great religious merit. Central to Buddhism,
but especially to Theravada is the acquisition of "Bun" (lit: merit). The concept of merit
was based on the law of karma (Th: kam) and was in fact the basis for the Theravada
Kingship. Constructing a temple was regarded as highly meritorious and the deed that
brought most merit. By donating the site to the monkhood, the king could acquire merit
at the same time as he showed his reverence for his predecessor or royal ancestor,
commemorated in the temple. To deposit the remains of a former king inside a prang or
chedi would also ensure his eventual rebirth as a Buddha.
