When I resided in Wyoming 30 years ago and in my prime I could have climbed to the peak of the center rock formation. Now a bit older I best just use a longer lens to capture the moment.
In N Norfolk on Tuesday I was hoping to see the White-Tailed Eagle currently residing in our area. There were some sightings by others but sadly not for me on that day. I did however see some Kites (already posted). I was happy with them but thought I could do better so went out again on Wednesday, back to the same spot to try and get some more shots of them.
However.... 'what is that huge looking silhouette rising from the trees??.... It can only be one thing, surely.'
There it was, in the distance in an area where early evening the previous day a Warden from Holkham Estate told me he had seen in it 30 mins earlier. I took a few very very distant shots not knowing if I would see it again. On inspection, it was carrying 'lunch' in it's talons (a pigeon I think) and was being mobbed by Kites and Gulls were joining in too! Perhaps it had stolen the Kite's prey?
I had read somewhere that the best way to spot birds of this magnitude is to look for their shadow rather than the bird itself and sure enough you could always see the eerie sight of this very large shadow gliding across the trees even though the bird itself went in and out of view.
I decided to take my chances and took a footpath alongside the woods in the optimistic hope that it may reappear.
As if on cue it glided out still being harassed by two Kites, and presumably having devoured its prey.
By chance it circled around slowly towards me and I was able to get a good number of decent shots as it circled above me, climbing with each revolution without barely a beat of its massive wings. I even managed to record a video of it on my phone. It climbed higher and eventually headed off SW soaring above, going at its own pace.
The ring clearly shows the ID G393 which I believe is one of the IOW reintroduced birds.
I'll post some more photos of it being mobbed later.
Thanks for taking the time to view some of my images.
The Raja Mahal (King's Palace), where the kings and the queens had resided till it was abandoned in 1783, was built in the early part of 16th century. Its exterior is simple and unembellished, but the interior chambers of the palace are elaborately royal in their architectural design, decorated with murals of social and religious themes of gods, mythical animals, and people. In the upper floor of the palace, there are traces of mirrors in the ceilings and walls. Its windows, arcaded passages, and layout plan are designed in such a way that the "sunlight and shadow create areas of different moods and temperatures throughout the day". The interior walls of the Mahal have murals of Lord Vishnu. The Mahal has several secret passages.
The Orchha Fort complex, which houses a large number of ancient monuments consisting of the fort, palaces, temple, and other edifices, is located in Orchha town in Madhya Pradesh. The fort and other structures within it were built by the Bundela Rajputs starting from the early 16th century by King Rudra Pratap Singh of the Orchha State and others who followed him.
The fort complex, which is accessed from an arched causeway, leads to a large gateway. This is followed by a large quadrangular open yard surrounded by palaces. These are Raja Mahal or Raja Mandir, Sheesh Mahal, Jahangir Mahal, a temple, gardens and pavilions. The battlements of the fort have ornamentation.

M 27 is a planetary nebula, and is also known as the Dumbbell Nebula. It resides more than 1200 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Vulpecula and is about 3 light years in diameter. M27 hosts many knots of gas and dust, some of which are elongated and seen trailing away from the central star. Their sizes typically range from 17 billion to 56 billion kilometers, which is several times larger than the distance from the sun to Pluto. Also seen here is the faint outer shell of the nebula which makes its presence known when photographed using hydrogen alpha and oxygen III narrowband filters. These filters are designed to pass the spectrum of light associated with ionized hydrogen and ionized oxygen gasses.

Snowbowl resides on the San Francisco Peaks, a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain, which are held as sacred to 13 different Native American tribes in the region. These tribes include the Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Yavapai, Hopi, and other Native Nations. To date, they have lost all lawsuits they had filed to stop further development and expansion of this alpine ski resort.
A light resides above a prize.
It's seen by all, a mystery,
a building with no entrances?
What lies beneath, a crypt to see.
A new found treasure chest received
for one who's worthy of its sight.

Na Floresta de Cèdre Gouraud, na cordilheira do Médio Atlas, Marrocos, reside uma subpopulação significativa de macacos-de-gibraltar (Macaca sylvanus), primatas também conhecidos como macacos-berberes. Esta espécie, endémica do Norte de África e a única de macacos a viver naturalmente no continente africano fora das regiões subsarianas, encontra-se ameaçada de extinção. O nome da floresta deriva de um cedro-do-atlas centenário em homenagem ao general Gouraud, cujo tronco permanece como atração turística após a sua morte. Os macacos adaptaram-se à presença humana, interagindo frequentemente com os visitantes. Este ecossistema, dominado por cedros-do-atlas, é crucial para a conservação da biodiversidade, servindo como habitat vital para estes primatas. A sobrevivência dos macacos-de-gibraltar enfrenta desafios como a perda de habitat e a pressão humana, sendo fundamental a consciencialização para práticas responsáveis e respeito pelo ecossistema local.
The Cèdre Gouraud Forest, in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco, is home to a significant subpopulation of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus), primates also known as Barbary apes. This species, endemic to North Africa and the only monkey that lives naturally on the African continent outside the sub-Saharan regions, is threatened with extinction. The forest's name derives from a century-old Atlas cedar named after General Gouraud, whose trunk continues to be a tourist attraction after his death. The monkeys have adapted to the presence of humans, frequently interacting with visitors. This ecosystem, dominated by Atlas cedars, is crucial for the conservation of biodiversity, serving as a vital habitat for these primates. The survival of Barbary macaques faces challenges such as habitat loss and human pressure, making it essential to raise awareness about responsible practices and respect for the local ecosystem.

Some of the best beaches on Earth I dare say reside in a stretch of land in the south-western part of England - Cornwall. I always loved rocky beaches and back home I would try and get to some beaches which had some small arrangement of rocks some where...but when I went to Cornwall, I couldn't believe my eyes that there were so many beautiful beaches one after another from Looe to all the way to Bude.
It was a pretty tough trip mainly because the weather was not too good but I braved through the weather and managed some decent outings. There are plenty of photo ops and Cornwall is one place one should visit if they are in the UK. We were jokingly saying its a poor man's Scotland as there were many beautiful beaches that can be rivaled only by the pristine Scottish beaches.
'Nuff Said! This was shot in a quiet little beach called the Mullion Cove near Lizard. I loved the turquoise waters and the rocks that were peppered along the coast. The light was a bit tricky and the exposure I was aiming was difficult to pull off at that time of the day but nonetheless gave it a shot. This is just one RAW image developed in Lightroom. Its been a while since I did multiple exposures..gone are those days I guess...For some reason, the EXIF is not giving the details I desire..anyway here it is..

Thanks for viewing and have a nice week everyone!
In a clandestine realm concealed behind the walls of human abodes, resided diminutive beings who referred to themselves as "Borrowlings." Their world was minuscule, their attire fashioned from fabric remnants, and their headwear comprised delicate mushroom caps. These Borrowlings harbored a peculiar vocation in life, one they deemed their life's calling: they borrowed tiny items from humans.
Within this world, there were three remarkable Borrowlings: Lumius, Flora, and Pippin. Lumius was aged and sagacious, Flora his affectionate spouse, and Pippin their inquisitive offspring. The passage of years did not mark the Borrowlings, for they attained the venerable age of 111, unless they happened to be mistaken for a mouse by an unwary cat. Their objective was to borrow diminutive treasures from the human realm, such as needles, threads, scissors, and screwdrivers. Yet, they were not without flaws.
The Borrowlings possessed an unfortunate proclivity: they tended to place the borrowed items in unusual locations. When humans sought these possessions, it spawned chaos and bewilderment.
One day, as Lumius, Flora, and Pippin had once more borrowed a minuscule ruler, they overheard the desperate dialogue of a solitary human gentleman whom they designated the "Seeker."
"Damnation, where is my ruler?" muttered the Seeker to himself. "I employed it last evening, and now it has vanished without a trace."
The Borrowlings realized that the time had come to make amends for their imperfections. They resolved to locate the ruler and return it, sparing the Seeker further vexation.
Upon finding the ruler at last, Lumius raised it aloft and declared, "Here is your ruler. We borrowed it and inadvertently misplaced it elsewhere."
The Seeker, taken aback by the sight of the diminutive Lumius, inquired, "Who are you?"
Flora responded, "We are the Borrowlings, and it is our duty to borrow items and subsequently return them. Regrettably, we sometimes deposit them in unconventional places."
The Seeker smiled and said, "You are indeed unique. I thank you for returning the ruler."
The Borrowlings handed over the ruler to the Seeker, who rejoiced at recovering the lost item. As the Borrowlings embarked on their journey back, one could overhear the Seeker engaging in introspective soliloquies, contemplating the significance of tolerance and forgiveness.
The tale of the Borrowlings and the Seeker transformed into a parable and allegory for the fallibility and distinctiveness of humanity. It imparted lessons on cherishing tolerance and forgiveness and recognizing that everyone possesses their own flaws. And so, the Borrowlings and humans continued to coexist harmoniously, with the Borrowlings inadvertently sowing chaos in the lives of humans, all while bearing smiles on their diminutive countenances.

Unlike a spiral or elliptical galaxy, the galaxy KK 246 looks like glitter spilled across a black velvet sheet. KK 246, also known as ESO 461-036, is a dwarf irregular galaxy residing within the Local Void, a vast region of empty space. This lonely galaxy is the only one known for certain to reside in this enormous volume, along with 15 others that have been tentatively identified.
Although the picture appears to be full of galaxies, they are actually beyond this void, and instead form part of other galaxy groups or clusters. Cosmic voids, such as this one, are the spaces within the web-like structure of the universe wherein very few or no galaxies exist.
Adjacent to the Local Group, this region of empty space is at least 150 million light-years across. For perspective, our own Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be 150,000 light-years across, making this void immense in its nothingness.

The Black Hmong are the 3rd largest minority in Vietnam with nearly 900,000 people. In the Sapa region there are about 35,000 Black Hmong residing in the surrounding 17 villages and they account for about 50% of the area population. Most reside at an altitude of 1,600 – 1,700 meters above sea level in this stunningly beautiful region they call “the city above the clouds”. The Hmong started migrating to Vietnam from China in the last 300 years.
In this region about half the Hmong are Catholic and half animistic. They live of the land growing rice and corn and they all believe in the spirits.

"The Archbishop's Palace (formerly the Bishop's Palace) in Olomouc is the seat of the offices of the Olomouc Archbishopric; the Archbishop himself does not currently reside there. The palace is the largest residential building in the historic core of the city of Olomouc and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The Archbishop's Palace is the fourth residence of the Olomouc bishops and was originally built as a Renaissance palace by Bishop Stanislav Thurz. This Renaissance palace, completed by Bishop Dubravio and further modified by Bishop Pavlovský at the end of the 16th century, was devastated during the Thirty Years' War, especially during the Swedish occupation of Olomouc in 1642–1650.
Only Bishop Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn, after a fire in 1661, began the Baroque renovation of the palace in 1664 after his accession to the episcopal see. The repairs were carried out according to the plans of the imperial architect Filiberto Lucchese (1606–1666) and, after his death, Giovanni Pietro Tencalla by the Olomouc master masons Petr Schüller and Melchior Thoneck. The author of the stucco decoration of the interiors is Baltazar Fontana, the original wall paintings, whose authors were Carpoforo Tencalla and Innocenzo Cristoforo Monti, have survived only in fragments. An ornamental garden was established on the fence. The reconstruction work was not completed until 1685. In 1836, the interior was expanded with the so-called Throne Room, the design of which was contributed by Antonín Arche.
The palace acquired its present form and decoration after the fire of 1904, when it was restored and partially rebuilt according to the design of Vladimír Fischer at the instigation of Cardinal Bauer in the years 1906–1910. After a thorough reconstruction, the palace was opened to the public as a sightseeing object in the spring of 2011.
The terraced complex consists of two longitudinal palaces, whose two-storey wings create two unequally sized enclosed courtyards. The facade of the longer building with the main entrance faces Biskupské náměstí, the adjacent building continues into the narrow Wurmova Street. The opposite fenced wing above the city walls is oriented towards the Bezručovy sady city park.
The long street facade has a richly architecturally structured front with 21 large windows facing the street and three portals. The roof is gabled, the central raised part is decorated with a turret. The main entrance is equipped with a stone balcony portico with the coat of arms of Bishop Liechtenstein and the year 1669. In the roof above it is a gable extension with a clock face. Similar signs with commemorative inscriptions are above the portals at the edges of the building.
The palace character of the building is underlined by the representative staircase and ceremonial halls. The original Baroque stucco decoration of the rooms has been preserved in the interior.
Olomouc (UK: /ˈɒləmoʊts/, US: /ˈoʊloʊ-/, Czech: [ˈolomouts]; German: Olmütz) is a city in the Czech Republic. It has about 102,000 inhabitants and its larger urban zone has a population of about 400,000 inhabitants (2024).
Located on the Morava River, the city is the ecclesiastical metropolis and was a historical co-capital city of Moravia, before having been occupied by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War. Today, it is the administrative centre of the Olomouc Region and the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic. The historic city centre is well preserved and is protected by law as urban monument reservation. The Holy Trinity Column was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 for its quintessential Baroque style and symbolic value.
Moravia (Czech: Morava [ˈmorava]; German: Mähren) is a historical region in the east of the Czech Republic and one of three historical Czech lands, with Bohemia and Czech Silesia.
The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown from 1348 to 1918, an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire from 1004 to 1806, a crown land of the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867, and a part of Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918. Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia founded in 1918. In 1928 it was merged with Czech Silesia, and then dissolved in 1948 during the abolition of the land system following the communist coup d'état.
Its area of 22,623.41 km2 is home to about 3.2 million of the Czech Republic's 10.8 million inhabitants. The people are historically named Moravians, a subgroup of Czechs, the other group being called Bohemians. The land takes its name from the Morava river, which runs from its north to south, being its principal watercourse. Moravia's largest city and historical capital is Brno. Before being sacked by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, Olomouc served as the Moravian capital, and it is still the seat of the Archdiocese of Olomouc. Until the expulsions after 1945, significant parts of Moravia were German speaking." - info from Wikipedia.

Grand Teton National Park.
3/4 Cubs she has currently.
Grizzly 399 is a grizzly bear who resides on Federal land in a range of hundreds of miles throughout the Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. She was born in a den in Pilgrim Creek, Wyoming, in the winter of 1996, and given her name as a research number by the Yellowstone Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team.
At age 24, she is older than is usual for a grizzly, as "more than 85 percent of them are killed because of some kind of human activity before they reach old age". She weighs almost 400 pounds (180 kg). When standing upright on her hind legs, she is 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m). Unlike the typical grizzly, she lives in close proximity to humans, although she is not particularly concerned with them; scientists have speculated that this was in response to a death of a cub in a more remote area, perhaps killed by a male grizzly.
The bird resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet, the bird stirs up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms, and mollusks. The greater flamingo feeds with its head down, and its upper jaw is movable and not rigidly fixed to its skull.[4]
Inside the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art resides this oasis. There is so much beauty in this atrium in every corner. Designed In the dramatic style of a 15th-century Italian courtyard. You can ascend the staircase and enjoy the views from the balcony as well. I made my way to this court and arrived promptly at opening in hopes of finding it secluded. I was awarded with only one worker prepping for an event as he was putting tent cards on the table. I was patient for him to exit the scene. The fountain in the middle of the space is one of my favorite in town. On Valentine's Day they flood it with rose petals. Somewhere in my photo stream I have that capture. I hope to have several other images from this area sometime this week.
These past few weeks have been non stop for my family and I. My twins are graduating High School and from band performances to tennis matches to inventory at my work, things have gone completely crazy in my life.
My son played in his last performance at the Kauffman Center for the Youth Symphony of KC and I came away with a few images I liked from there as well.
I did find time today to finally ride the new streetcar in KC as well. I hope to have something to post from there as well.

The common person residing in Esterdame would deny the existence of the Black Terrors, and they would be justified in that. There have been so few sightings of these monsters in the last 700 years that they have passed mostly into myth and superstition. Parents use their name to invoke fear in children, Commanders curse the terrors should a battle not go their way. Those who still believe that they exist are convinced that they reside in the Sleeping Caverns at the North-East-most point of Esterdame and that they protect Threndaugar the Deceiver himself. They are said to be as fast as wind, as elusive as the shadows and near invincible should they fight after dusk. After the Sacking of the Storm Hold in 728AV, rumours began to spread that it was not the Orcs, but the Black Terrors who captured the castle.
The Shadow Knight, pictured in the centre, was first spotted in 738AV, a year after King Davian III recaptured his family home. The Knight is an old friend of the King's uncle Baron (and that's all I'll say about that)
The marauding goats of Llandudno have created a stir amongst the world media. I'm lucky enough to reside in their territory. Here they caught taking a break from pruning Queens Road's shrubbery to witness the passing of CX14 BYK (3172), working a No.5 service to Caernarfon.

The university's Innovation, Science and Technology (IST) Building is home to a supercomputer,[7] 3-D printing lab, cyber gaming and media lab, cyber security lab, robotics lab, big data lab, and digital library. Florida Poly is the first university whose main library is completely digital.[8]
This is Rocky, a Eurasian robin who resides at Broadwater towpath. Rocky is very tame and with that comes popularity due to his/her eagerness to take food from your hand. I didn't name Rocky but it's as good a name as any I suppose.
Sir Miles Long resides from the great city Toleberg, in the southern part of Lenfald, obviously the best land in all Rowia.
During his life, he has fought to defend his land, trained vigoursly, and intend to accomplish many more legendary feats.
So, while at Brickfair, I realized I had not entered LoR on the Merlin's beard forum. So after long consideration, I've decided to update my Sig for the new group, enjoy.
Builds coming soon.

The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl. It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish coloring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker color. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
Besides being one of the largest living species of owl, it is also one of the most widely distributed. The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations. The nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals. These hatch at different times. The female incubates the eggs and broods the young, and the male provides food for her and when they hatch, for the nestlings as well. Continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months.
Eagle-owls are distributed somewhat sparsely but can potentially inhabit a wide range of habitats, with a partiality for irregular topography. They have been found in habitats as diverse as northern coniferous forests to the edge of vast deserts. Essentially, Eurasian eagle-owls have been found living in almost every climatic and environmental condition on the Eurasian continent, excluding the greatest extremities, i.e. they are absent from humid rainforest in Southeast Asia, as well as the high Arctic tundra, both of which they are more or less replaced by other variety of Bubo owls. They are often found in the largest numbers in areas where cliffs and ravines are surrounded by a scattering of trees and bushes. Grassland areas such as alpine meadows or desert-like steppe can also host them so long as they have the cover and protection of rocky areas. The preference of eagle-owls for places with irregular topography has been reported in most known studies. The obvious benefit of such nesting locations is that both nests and daytime roosts located in rocky areas and/or steep slopes would be less accessible to predators, including man. Also, they may be attracted to the vicinity of riparian or wetlands areas, due to the fact that the soft soil of wet areas is conducive to burrowing by the small, terrestrial mammals normally preferred in the diet, such as voles and rabbits.[59] Due to their preference for rocky areas, the species is often found in mountainous areas and can be found up to elevations of 2,100 m (6,900 ft) in the Alps and 4,500 m (14,800 ft) in the Himalayas and 4,700 m (15,400 ft) in the adjacent Tibetan Plateau.

Yes, this 2002 Mack Wittke is indeed a ex Waste Management of the Desert truck that currently resides in Baldwin Park, 100 miles from Palm Desert. In 2006 Waste Management of the Desert sold all their assets and contracts to Burrtec. Before Burrtec took over, this Mack Wittke was relocated to El Cajon in 2006 and Baldwin Park in 2007. Being a Mack LE, I think it is fair to say it use to have a Curotto Can on it in Palm Desert.
Behind the wheel is Danny who is a nice guy, great driver and one of the most efficient drivers you will ever meet. Danny’s current truck, which at the time this was filmed is currently at Waste Management Compton undergoing repairs on the arm. For the time being I am happy to say this is his everyday truck. The Mack Wittke sounded great and seemed to operate well considering it is 14 years old.
Big thank you to Danny and especially WMmaster626 who gave me all the information through Waste Managements “Compass” software, about the history of this legendary truck and one of a small handful amount of ex Waste Management of the Desert trucks still around and in Waste Management colors.

The Eurasian eagle-owl is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl. It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker colour. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
Besides being one of the largest living species of owl, it is also one of the most widely distributed. The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations. The nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals. These hatch at different times. The female incubates the eggs and broods the young, and the male provides food for her and when they hatch, for the nestlings as well. Continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months. There are at least a dozen subspecies of Eurasian eagle-owl.

Snowbowl resides on the San Francisco Peaks, a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain, which are held as sacred to 13 different Native American tribes in the region. These tribes include the Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Yavapai, Hopi, and other Native Nations. To date, they have lost all lawsuits they had filed to stop further development and expansion of this alpine ski resort.
In N Norfolk on Tuesday I was hoping to see the White-Tailed Eagle currently residing in our area. There were some sightings by others but sadly not for me on that day. I did however see some Kites (already posted). I was happy with them but thought I could do better so went out again on Wednesday, back to the same spot to try and get some more shots of them.
However.... 'what is that huge looking silhouette rising from the trees??.... It can only be one thing, surely.'
There it was, in the distance in an area where early evening the previous day a Warden from Holkham Estate told me he had seen in it 30 mins earlier. I took a few very very distant shots not knowing if I would see it again. On inspection, it was carrying 'lunch' in it's talons (a pigeon I think) and was being mobbed by Kites and Gulls were joining in too! Perhaps it had stolen the Kite's prey?
I had read somewhere that the best way to spot birds of this magnitude is to look for their shadow rather than the bird itself and sure enough you could always see the eerie sight of this very large shadow gliding across the trees even though the bird itself went in and out of view.
I decided to take my chances and took a footpath alongside the woods in the optimistic hope that it may reappear.
As if on cue it glided out still being harassed by two Kites, and presumably having devoured its prey.
By chance it circled around slowly towards me and I was able to get a good number of decent shots as it circled above me, climbing with each revolution without barely a beat of its massive wings. I even managed to record a video of it on my phone. It climbed higher and eventually headed off SW soaring above, going at its own pace.
The ring clearly shows the ID G393 which I believe is one of the IOW reintroduced birds.
SSRX 4410 basks in the golden light as it passes through its new home. This ex SOO GP38 is now in elevator service and resides in Goodland. The 4410 is facing west and after a trip out to Limon Colorado, to get wyed, and back it would be spotted at Scoular facing east.

This shot of the Milky Way was taken from inside the Dee Wright Observatory in central Oregon - an open structure made of lava rocks from the lava field in which it resides. Completed in 1935, the observatory has open viewing "windows" around its wall. This photograph was captured through one of them.
This is a composite of four successive shots with identical exposure settings (for noise reduction):
Sony a7III and Tamron 15-30, 26mm, f2.8, ISO 6400, 15s each.
