Bout 3 miles up Waterton Canyon is a house on the right side of the road and the river on the left with an old damn I was going to which is on the other side the tree's on the right but decided I'll go back down but not before l get a photo. A second one is behind that tree on the right.
A long telephoto lens compressed the perspective of this shot.
In reality the hovercraft, the Brittany ferry, Spitbank Fort and the Grimaldi container ship were literally miles apart.
Here are a few pics from the annual ram assessment competition held in Strandir where farmers and laymen alike compete in assessing the breedability of rams (the people get awards from correct assessment by a specific standard, the rams themselves are not competing).
A second generation unit can be seen here; it was built from 1979-1993. The Ram van lasted in one form or another for over 3 decades (1971-2003), but was supplanted by the Dodge Sprinter (a rebadged Mercedes) and more recently the Ram ProMaster (a rebadged Fiat).
Elephantine Island's southern end comprises the site of ancient Abu. Its name meant both 'elephant' and 'ivory' in ancient Egyptian, a reminder of the important role the island once played in the ivory trade. The island's Nubian villages of Siou and Koti make a surprising counterpoint to the bustle of the city across the water.
The island lies opposite central Aswan, just north of the First Cataract. A recent building boom has changed its nature, but it remains calm and essentially rural.
At the beginning of the 1st dynasty (about 3000 BC) a fortress was built on the island to establish Egypt’s southern frontier. Abu soon became an important customs point and trading centre. It remained strategically significant throughout the Pharaonic period as a departure point for the military and commercial expeditions into Nubia and the south. During the 6th dynasty (2345–2181 BC) Abu gained its strength as a political and economic centre and, despite occasional ups and downs, the island retained its importance until the Graeco-Roman period.
As well as being a thriving settlement, Elephantine Island was the main cult centre of the ram-headed god Khnum (at first the god of the inundation, and from the 18th dynasty worshipped as the creator of humankind on his potter’s wheel), Satet (Khnum’s wife, and guardian of the southern frontier) and their daughter Anket. Each year the rushing of the waters of the flood were first heard here on Elephantine Island. Over time religious complexes took over more and more of the island, so residential areas moved either further north on the island or to the east bank. The temple town of Abu received its coup de grâce in the 4th century AD, when Christianity was established as the imperial Roman religion. From then on, worship of the ancient gods was gradually abandoned and defensive fortifications were moved to the east bank, today’s city of Aswan.
Siou and Koti villages lie between the ruins in the south and the Mövenpick Resort, which fills the northern end of the island. A north–south path crosses the middle of the island and links the two villages. Close to the wall separating the Mövenpick Resort from Siou village, facing Kitchener’s Island, is Baaba Dool, a gorgeous painted Nubian house, where the owner Mustapha serves tea, sells Nubian handicrafts and can arrange live music and dancing performed by local women. The roof terrace is the perfect place to watch the sunset on the west bank, with a multitude of birds flying around the island opposite. Also in the villages is Animalia, a charming Nubian museum.
Western women should be respectful of local tradition and wear modest clothes. More and more visitors prefer to enjoy the traditional set-up of the villages, and rent flats or houses here for a few days.
They are not officially imported by FCA but some of these pickup trucks are sold in Germany and the Netherlands. This is the fourth generation of the Ram pickup introduced in 2009. Since 2010 the Dodge brand is no longer used for these models.
The latest generation of the Ram pickup was introduced in 2018. In Europe these are not imported by FCA but by independent companies. As such they're even quite popular, at least in Germany and the Netherlands.

I found a herd of 15 Bighorn Sheep in Jasper National Park. I followed them up onto a ridge and watched them for several hours. There were 5 or 6 rams, several ewes and a couple of young ones. These sheep tirelessly hoof away the snow to expose the grass underneath. Very occasionally, 2 rams would butt heads. It was -20 Celsius, but they didn't seem to mind. Their fur hairs are hollow, trapping air inside and making for the perfect insulator.
