The infamous shacks along the lake foreshore were built around 1948. The Milang Progress Association controlled the area until the local Council resumed control in 1967. Despite government threats to their existence the shack owners have had several reprieves and they are still there.

I was going to use this shot of a truck hood ornament for last week's curve theme, but I decided to post two other photos, which showed more unusual examples of curves. Feeling lucky that it works for this week's theme, too.
Five bighorn rams in a huddle, Montana, October 2025. Huddling is a pre-rut behavior where rams use gentle touching for communicating dominance hierarchy.
These two rams chose the highest feature around to bed down at mid-day. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Something new and rare for me. At the Canadian War Museum. Probably a precursor to the modern APCs of today. The term "Ram Kangaroo" is derived from two sources. "Kangaroo" is the nickname given to a series of APCs designed by the Canadian army in 1944, during the Battle of Normandy. The infantry was often forced to move on foot, which made it vulnerable to enemy fire and prevented it from advancing at the same speed as the armored vehicles. Canadian Lieutenant-General Guy Simonds ordered the conversion of M7 (Priest) self-propelled guns into APCs. With their 105 mm gun removed, these vehicles could carry twelve soldiers. They were nicknamed "Priest Kangaroos," and their success led the army to retrofit a number of "Ram" tanks and convert them into "Kangaroo" APCs. Produced in large numbers, but replaced by the Sherman tanks, the "Ram" tanks were seldom being used by the army. Their turret was removed to enable them to accommodate twelve infantrymen. The "Ram Kangaroos" rapidly replaced the "Priest Kangaroos." The "Ram Kangaroo" had a crew of two. They were armed with a .30cal machine gun.
Ram Light, located off the Ocean Point shoreline at Grimes Cove, was built in 1883. Seen from a tour boat out of Boothbay Harbour.

The annual autumn rut (breeding season) was winding down for this herd of bighorn rams, ewes, and lambs along the Old Yellowstone Trail near Corwin Springs, just north of Yellowstone National Park. Among them were several mature rams - as gauged by the size and condition - the older ones are heftier and much more beat up - of their horns. This guy was up there, but not nearly at the top of the heap of Big Boys that day.
It is common in the area where I live for cities and counties to contract with commercial sheep herders to “mow” vacant lots and weedy hillsides by bringing in sheep and goats to do the job. I saw this fine fellow in American Canyon, Napa County, California near the Wetlands Open Space this evening.

The sun's first rays are sidelighting this bighorn ram. They are eating tiny green plants. I'm sure they are getting a lot of dirt as well which is hard on their teeth. Bad teeth are problems for older animals. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
