This cormorant was working one part of the lake, then evidently was dissatisfied, so moved to the west end. Fortunately for me, I was well situated for the flight.
It has been a good summer in Vancouver for Eastern Warblers, a Chestnut-sided, Ovenbird, Tennessee and now a Black-and-white! This bird was first found by Jacky Ip on July 5th and I was happy to relocate it early this morning.
Had to relocate some mantises that were protecting our cucumber patch so I could remove the old and plant some new. I was worried about doing so thinking it would freak out and move on. It didn't. Just after putting this one down it immediate caught a bug and proceeded to have lunch like business as usual.
On one of the roads towards the great freshwater lake named Tonle Sap, central Cambodia. Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia flooding a vast area in the rainy season and retreating significantly in the dry season. Small homes are often relocated closer to the waters edge in the dry season.
Cormorants moving from one end of the pond at Delores Fenwick Nature Center to the other. About 50 birds in this mini-migration. Could have used more DoF. Pearland, Texas.
I was thrilled to see this bird standing in the upper most pond of Fernhill Wetlands mitigation area. I got as close as I could without scaring it, took numerous photos of it sitting still and hunting, but I really wanted a flight shot. I don't intentionally disturb birds, so I waited and waited. Finally after about an hour, two people walked up to the pond even nearer the bird, and loudly said, "I WONDER WHAT THAT PHOTOGRAPHER IS LOOKING AT?" Seconds later I had my shot!
The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory, North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests. It is a passerine bird in the tit family, the Paridae. It is the state bird of Massachusetts and Maine in the United States, and the provincial bird of New Brunswick in Canada. It is well known for its ability to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights, its good spatial memory to relocate the caches where it stores food, and its boldness near humans (sometimes feeding from the hand).

BNSF 6643 heads down the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Elsberry, MO. with 25 CitiRail Gevo's in tow. Running in a 1x2 formation to haul the units at this point of the journey under the symbol D-ALNSTL3 05T. This is 1 of 4 planned moves to relocate the units from Alliance, NE to St. Louis, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO., I'm guessing that Citi got tired of paying BNSF for storage.
CitiRail units in this move: 1333, 1410, 1212, 1350, 1429, 1303, 1332, 1434, 1412, 1347, 1318, 1435, 1213, 1208, 1325, 1338, 1210, 1310, 1345, 1415, 1411, 1314, 1419, 1316, & 1201.
Praying Mantis
A species of Mantid that I don't see very often. You can see some yellow colouring. This year we have cleared the garden alongside our driveway where these appeared from time to time. This one was on our Wisteria, looks like it has found a new home.
Muir Log House built in 1879 and relocated in 1971 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin Manitoba Canada
The house was built in 1879, by the Muir family, who were early pioneers in the MacGregor district. The house was moved to the Museum in 1971, from the just-southeast of the present town of MacGregor. It is a one and half story structure that measures 14 feet by 16 feet with a wood shingled roof and wooden eaves trough. On the wall in the kitchen is a photograph of the first generation (in later years) of the Muir family with five children from 1910. This was quite a small number considering the third generation that lived in the house had ten children. The house is furnished with many artifacts that belonged to the Muir family dating from between 1860 and 1900.

Sedd/ Seat - Lytham Green, Fylde, Sir Gaerhirfryn/ Lancashire ▪️ 'Within days of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry was circulating a plan for the entire population of Gaza to be moved to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, and an Israeli think tank had drawn up a strategy for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”
Indeed, Israel has been on record scheming to find a way to relocate the population of Gaza for many decades.
That’s what this is all about. That’s all this has ever been about. It’s not about hostages. It’s not about Hamas. It’s not about Israel defending itself. It’s about stealing a Palestinian territory, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.' Caitlin Johnstone

For a long time, I have aimed to photograph the belted kingfisher. My first encounter with this bird occurred in Arkansas, where I observed two kingfishers playing and hunting along a local creek. Unfortunately, they were too far for me to capture a good photo. Since then, I have frequented several birding locations in hopes of catching a glimpse of the kingfisher, but I've always returned empty-handed. After relocating back to Southern California, I finally spotted a kingfisher at Bolsa Chica when it landed on a dead tree just a few meters away. Since that day, I have taken many photos of it. Interestingly, the kingfisher seems to prefer Bolsa Chica only on cloudy or foggy mornings, as I have never seen it there in good light, making it challenging to photograph. The photo above is the best lighting I have managed so far. It seems that to capture that perfect image of the kingfisher, I truly have to earn it.
It's embarrassing how many cobwebs and dog hairs the small animals find behind our furniture. Here I bring this stag beetle girl outside. Yesterday we had a cornu aspersum with cobwebs and dog hairs. We've put it outside. Fun fact is, that the giant house spiders don't collect dirt before I find them and scream (I would be good in a bad horror movie). Two days ago, I saw a giant house spider in the bathroom. I screamed, and the brave husband caught the girl (it was a girl) in a glass and threw her outside. I'm sure she comes right back inside to look for a cosy spot for to make a cocoon. She was completely clean!
One of several cottages in this street reputed to have been relocated from the gold-mining town of Walhalla.
The Victorian Railways finally completed the railway line to Walhalla in 1910, sadly about the same time that mining in the area became unprofitable and most mines closed and the residents packed up and left. The population during the gold era peaked at around 4,000 compared with today's permanent population of approximately 20 residents.
So it was somewhat ironical that the railway line's main function became the removal of houses and other buildings from the town it was built to service. Today, they are dotted over many areas of Gippsland and beyond.

Biserica Bunavestire - Schitul Maicilor, Bucuresti
"The Annunciation" - Schitul Maicilor ["Nuns Skete"] Church

One of several Bucharest churches moved from their original location during the communist dictatorship and dumped behind new highrise buildings.
After the devastating earthquake of 1977 Nicolae Ceausescu realized that he can remodel Bucharest on a large scale. An area larger than historic Venice [250 hectares] was demolished to make way for a new administrative center. In total 27 orthodox churches, 6 synagogues and 3 protestant churches were demolished all over the town during that time. After a unique, brave and singular protest of several historians only 7 historically important churches were "saved" by relocation behind large buildings, to make them "invisible". The translation was technically done by first pouring a reenforced concrete foundation underneath the church and then slowly moving it to the new location on rails.
People used to joke back then that Bucharest was the only city in the world to have its own unique traffic sign: CAUTION, CROSSING CHURCHES [like the deer crossing sign]

Ceauşima [Ceausescu+Hiroshima]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C5%9Fima
Ceauşima ("Ceaushima") is a vernacular word construction in Romanian, sarcastically linking former communist leader Nicolae Ceauşescu to Hiroshima. This portmanteau term was sometimes coined in the 1980s to describe the huge urban areas of Bucharest that Ceauşescu ordered torn down, comparing the results with the nuclear attack on Hiroshima.

With Canada Day and the concomitant fireworks coming, I decided to experiment with previous fireworks photos. I took a 2023 fireworks photo from one location and merged it with a daylight phone photo from 2026 from another location. Obviously, I darkened the daylight photo.

Building the Intercolonial Railway back in the 1860s and 1870s was not for the faint of heart. ICR Chief Engineer Sanford Fleming endured more than a decade of engineering challenges in order to link Halifax with the western markets of Quebec City and Montreal.
A few site were more complicated than others like this one, located a mile and a half west of St.Noël, Fleming, in order to save the cost of building a bridge over Tartigou River, had it's construction crew bore a tunnel thru the rock in order to reroute the river away from the not yet constructed roadbed.
Talk about ingenuity !
The rock debris, issued when ICR crews pierced the roadbed thru the same rock cut, was used to stabilize the embankment along with keeping an acceptable rolling grade.
I made the walk -in heavy rain no less- from St.Noël to the tunnel on a cold autumn day, hoping to catch Campbellton-bound L562 passing the site of one of Fleming's legacy.

UP GP40-2 1361 leads a local in Superior, WI. Once a regular unit on the Harvard Sub, the elimination of ATS in favor of PTC has caused it to be reassigned up here to the other end of Wisconsin.
I don't care for staging shots at all, but sometimes, when I find a bug on the side of the house, shooting it right there can make for a pretty boring backgound. This broad-nosed weevil is the species Otiorhynchus raucus and it was one of those - on the (light grey) side of the house.
I therefore took the liberty of relocating it two meters and place it one a leaf in the garden and proceeded to shoot it there instead.
This was shot at 2.7:1 magnification and is a short focus stack of three exposures as it was kind enough to stay still for me.
I'm in the middle of a front porch remodel. I had to move all the furniture, etc. off before the workers got here yesterday. When I took down the curtains, this little beauty was exposed. This is the creature that keeps my cats entertained (usually in the middle of the night) by jumping onto my bedroom window. When he first came down onto the railing his whole body was dark like his head. This all happened really quickly. Then when he landed on this white railing, he started to turn colors. On the left just his backside and back legs had changed. When I finally got him to the ground on the mulch he was pretty much white all over. God's creation! I think he's relocated somewhere else by now.
Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.
Well this is DC Figs 192, but as the titles implies, we are currently changing a bunch of stuff around the house my “studio” has been relocated haha. Anywho, I guess we have somewhat of a blue theme going on

CPR Water Tower was bult in 1904 in the District of MacGregor and relocated in 1987 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum Homesteaders' Village in Austin Manitoba Canada
This water tower was originally built by the CPR at MacGregor and donated and moved to the Museum in 1987. It is the only water tower known to have been moved.
When rail lines were constructed through Manitoba, the railways had to construct water towers along the lines as steam locomotives needed water on a regular basis. These tanks were constructed at regular intervals along rail lines These towers held about 40,000 gallons (about 180,000 litres) of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently.
In most cases, water had to be pumped into the water towers from a lake or creek. At times the railways had to construct significant facilities to supply water to the track side tanks. The MacGregor tower was gravity filled from Jacksons Lake, seven miles south of Sidney, some 15 miles from MacGregor. In other cases, dams were built on creeks or rivers to assure the railway of an adequate supply.
The tower is 54 feet high and consists of two separate structures. The 40,000 gallon inner tub is made of 3″ thick cedar and is supported by 16′ square timbers, 22′ high in the air. The height provides the gravity pressure needed to fill the locomotives.
The outer shell, which is not attached to the tub, simply serves as an insulated cover for the water. By having a stove at the bottom of the building during the winter months, the outside shell would prevent the water from freezing. It was quite common that railway water towers in eastern Canada did not have the outer shell as winter weather was not as severe as in Western Canada. These outer shells were not often found on US railroads either as these roads were further south enjoying warmer winter weather.
CPR and CNR wooden water tower designs were quite similar. Apparently the CNoP, a predecessor to the CNR, and the CPR had a close relationship with each other when the CNoP first appeared as MacKenzie and Mann, owners of the CNoP, had been very reliable construction contractors for the CPR. They were able to borrow a number of building plans from the CPR which partially explains why CPR and CNR buildings in the west often appear quite similar.
