I grew up here from 4 to 13 years old. My parents were part of a commune that relocated to the desert from the California Coast, for multiple and complicated reasons. Most of my first memories were of this land, including this truck stop that we had fixed up and run.
We just called it Oasis, like the exit it was located at. In a sense, it was an oasis in the desert for the folks who would have driven by on I-80. I wonder what some of them must have thought about all those earnest, mainly happy young hippies.
This is the view from the foothills of the Pequop Mountains, the next range to the West of Oasis, which is visible as the cluster of trees and a building or two. The Silver Zone Mountains are in the background of the photo. I-80 is the road that you can see stretch between the two mountain ranges.
The next time you might be driving past here, now you have a story about a kid from the area :)
I took a couple of photos at this spot along the West Highland Way in 2011, with a wider angle lens, and despite some technical shortcomings really liked them. But due to being convinced it was in a slightly different area about a mile further east, I could never relocate the exact spot.
Ten years later - almost to the day - I finally found it again, completely by chance. However, I think the wider angle did it more justice so I must give it another go next time I have the opportunity.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
When the communities of Cape Sable Island and Barrington learned that the lantern room and lens from the Seal Island Lighthouse were going to be removed in 1977 and relocated to the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, residents took steps to keep the artifacts in the area. Their efforts paid off, it was decided that the lens and lantern room would remain in Barrington, if the community could properly care for them.
An approximately half-scale replica of the Seal Island Lighthouse was constructed as a base for the historic lantern room and second-order Fresnel lens.

Toujours partants pour un petit tour de capsule spatiale ! La journée a commencé avec un tour de piste, à proximité de l’ISS (une soixaine de mètres), pour changer de place de parking (Shane a maintenant sa chambre à l’étage, sur le dessus de l’ISS, plutôt que sur le devant). C’était agréable (et une très sérieuse opération) d’enfiler nos scaphandres et de réaliser toutes les procédures de départ… mais pour mieux revenir, il n’est pas encore temps de rentrer !
A good day to take our spacecraft for a spin! Just a short trip around the block, to re-dock to the zenith Space Station port and free up the forward parking spot for upcoming spacecraft, yes, there’s a lot of traffic up here! It felt good to put on our spacesuits and leave the International Space Station… just for a little while, it’s not time to go home just yet. 😃

...I've no time these days for myself at all with the moving/relocation of the Antique Store, life a bit stressful. :( I found these recent vintage toys and adore them....
The story of Kiruna, a town nestled in the far north of Sweden, is a remarkable tale of transformation and resilience. For centuries, it was a quiet, remote region inhabited by the indigenous Sami people. However, in the late 19th century, the discovery of iron ore led to the birth of the Kiruna Mine, which became one of the world's largest and most productive, forever altering Kiruna's destiny. Prosperity followed as miners and their families flocked to the area, causing the town to expand rapidly. Yet, beneath this newfound wealth, a silent threat lurked—the ground beneath Kiruna was gradually sinking due to subsidence from the underground mining operations. In 2004, a pivotal decision was made by the mining company LKAB and the local government: Kiruna would be relocated to a new site roughly 3 kilometers to the east. This decision had a dual purpose—to ensure the long-term sustainability of the mining operations and the safety of Kiruna's residents. The relocation process is an immense and ongoing endeavor, expected to span many decades. Iconic buildings, such as the Kiruna Church, are being carefully moved to the new site, while new infrastructure is being built. While guides claim that throughout this transition, the community's spirit remained unbroken, upon further inquiry, it became evident that there is a lot of unhappiness and frustration among the local population – Kiruna, Norrbotten, Sweden.
This is a recreation of the kitchen of a home in Acadia (now Nova Scotia) in the 17th Century. Many of the French settlers had created a going community but were relocated by the British who took the area after they won the Seven Years War in 1759.

iss069e000996 (April 6, 2023) --- The Soyuz MS-23 crew ship is docked to the International Space Station's Prichal docking module after undocking and moving earlier from the Poisk module. Aboard the MS-23 during the 37-minute relocation maneuver were, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin.
The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II.

Now- if, you plan on labeling me-
"insensitive" to
the Social/Emotional aspects involving
Poverty + Mental Illness = Homelessness
in our Major Urban Areas-
I say to you-
PISS OFF!
If you would like to see all of the Beneath-The-Bridge-Dwellers
relocated to areas near the Calumet Shipping Canal
on Chicago's far South Side, then we can discuss this.
Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were incarcerated during World War II.
To detain American citizens in a site under armed guard surely constitutes a "concentration camp."
Phia, mistress of the looping kalimba, relocates from Berlin back to Melbourne. for me this mainly means that I will not be able to see her perform live as often as I have gotten used to. I think I have known her music for as long as she's been in Berlin and I've seen it evolve. it was great.
luckily Phia played a farewell gig and I was able to give her this bookmark (based on the amizade: crescer pattern) as a goodbye gift. I think she liked it. and she particularly remarked that it's good that the model is so small because this way it'll be no burden on her baggage to Australia :-)
the gig then was fantastic, too, and now I cannot wait for the album to be released (and the album tour ;-) ).
due to working on a limited timeframe I had to make some compromise: ideally the pattern should have been expanded a bit more, I think, it should have been just a tad longer. and the frame is not ideally proportioned either. ah well, what can you do...
The court in town has been relocated, but the old court still stands in downtown as a historic building.
So I don't know what gets into me sometimes but I ended up with this conservative plaid suit and well....thought what better place to hide until the trial, than as a quiet librarian!...lol
Cuteness overload. Red squirrel (Eurasian squirrel) relocating at least 4 youngsters from one tree to another. First attempt to jump did not work out, so it is climbing down and up with the precious load.
In the final days of Eurostar operations on the third rail into Waterloo International station, I captured a view of a Class 373 unit rumbling over the road bridge in Black Prince Road Lambeth. The red brick building is Southbank House (today China Works), the former head office of Royal Doulton Pottery. It was also my place of work at the time of this photograph. Our office suite was on the second floor, and my desk by the window was almost within touching distance of the passing Eurostar trains. On occasion, the trains would halt directly outside; the noise coming from the power car was deafening, especially when we needed to have the windows open in the absence of air conditioning.
Just after the Eurostar terminus relocated to St. Pancras International, we relocated to an air-conditioned suite one floor above.

I like this bob hairstyle, and the whole look is completely different than most of my things. Its kind of fun to change it up. (smile)
I can only assume that the Northern Belle loco was in the consist as part of a move to relocate without running it light engine.

As we relocated to the CC Sub on Tuesday, John and I decided to follow the CSXT E&BV Sub out of Martin that runs towards Hazard. Figuring it would be only a site seeing trip, we were surprised to bump into this westbound load with 99 cars heading for Martin. At Garrett the mainline runs right thru the heart of this small town as they pass right in front of this small business. This coal train is only 15 miles from Martin. This is an old ex-C&O branchline off the Big Sandy that runs to Deane and then onto Hazard via Rockhouse Sub.

Stepping back out into the rear actionway, this shot gives you some more perspective on that dividing line we were just talking about. On the other side of that aisle with the printers and ink that you see on the right edge of this pic, lies the aisle we were just standing in in the previous image with the storage buckets and the terminal point of that yellow stripe along the rear wall. As mentioned previously, menswear’s new neighbor is the electronics department – relocated from the front left corner of the store, which we’ll see later on – and the aisles seen here look impressively complete at this relatively early stage in the remodel.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Can't get enough of this view: from the most in-demand suite at Citadines Tour Eiffel. Great view to wake up to, I think!

I had the pleasure of staying at Citadines - Tour Eiffel for 3 nights during my visit to Paris. Located in the former village of Grenelle, Citadines - Tour Eiffel is in a prime location situated across from a major metro hub with tons of cafes, restaurants, and marketplaces all within walking distance. It is also quite close to the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, Invalides, and Champs des Mars. In fact, while staying there, I was able to easily take the metro across the street to Versailles (with a transfer) for the day which made things quite convenient.
The really cool thing about the hotel is that some of the rooms on the upper floors of the hotel feature really beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower. If you follow my Instagram, I posted a video of the Eiffel Tower's light show that I filmed with my phone from the window of my room at Citadines - Tour Eiffel. It's a pretty impressive view!
However, what makes this hotel standout from many others is that it is known as an aparthotel or apartment hotel because it also functions as a place to stay for extended periods of time if you wish. People can stay for a few nights, a few weeks, a month, a few months, even a year if that is what they wish. This makes this a great place for families or individuals looking to relocate who may need a habitable living space centrally located in the city they are trying to relocate to. It also makes it a great place for people who are looking to try to live in a city to get a feel for the city while having the comforts of home.
An intriguing facet of staying at an aparthotel is that not only do you have the comforts that you would associate with an apartment such as a fully functional kitchen and living area but you get the amenities and benefits of hotel living as well. For example, Citadines aparthotels offer various cleaning arrangements for all guests as well as other perks that you would typically associate with staying in a hotel. Only you can enjoy these perks during your extended stay in any of the Citadines locations all over Europe and the Asia Pacific.
I had a great stay during my time in Paris. I had the misfortune of getting quite sick with bronchitis while in Paris and the staff at Citadines Tour Eiffel were really wonderful when it came to getting me the medical help I needed and making my stay pleasant while I recovered. I really enjoyed the fact that there was a Monoprix right across the street. The Monoprix there had a huge grocery section which allowed me to buy reasonably priced groceries that I was able to store in the refrigerator. This was a great relief to my wallet since it let me save on certain meals since I could use the kitchen in my room.
And of course, I loved the views. But that goes without saying, right? :)

It was early June and I was having a follow-up visit by a New York Times reporter Ava Chin PhD..
Two weeks prior, around May 30th Dr. Chin wrote a story for the times about a Honey Bee Swarm I rescued and relocated.
As we walked around the newly formed hive located in the woods where I live, I entertained Ava with the notion of catching a huge trapped Snapping Turtle…
The snapper was stuck in a series of man made motes, a concrete structure that was built in the sixties and never used. The whole mote was in a series of about six 100 meter sections, the Snapper was in one of them.
Five decades later we were going to fish out a trapped snapping Turtle.
Now I have Experience with…… …. the notion of catching Snapping Turtles, and
As I convinced the reporter to assist in such an adventure, we were quick to run to a store and
Buy chicken legs and twine to lure it in.
We were walking to the mote section where I spotted the Snapper. I was actually looking for one of my missing cats, Cole when I stumbled upon
Said Snapper……
Unpacking chicken legs and tying twine and tossing the delectable into the mote I expected a huge and very hungry Snapper to move in quickly.
With no sudden rush I suggested to Ava I will move further down the mote to place more chicken legs to lure the beast.
Looking out in the distance I saw movement, not believing my eyes at first, a deer was hunkered down in the muck.
She didn’t look well at all……..and ……I called to Ava…….”There is a deer stuck down in the swamp…. You should come quickly”
Ava stood with astonishment as my mind started analyzing the situation and developing a plan.
She was about a year old and weak looking; I estimated she was down in this for a week or two.
I thought it best to start sliding down into the swampy mote at some distance from the doe.
30 meters will do. Empting my pockets, cell phone, wallet, I slowly drifted down into the pit….
Did I mention the huge snapper ……..Oh yes…….Well that was out the window……
Moving very slowly through the algae infested swamp and no telling what was at my feet, I headed toward the deer.
I thought to talk to the deer and move my arms and hands slowly to my sides and forward to get her used to the motion.
I knew I would have to physically catch her and I had to get close. Talking in a soft voice I would tell her…. “I know how scared she was and
She should trust me……I was going to get her out of this place and that she would be so very happy”
I got to one and a half meters away and she lunged to the wall and corner that separated the motes.
Her hooves like roller skates created no traction on the concrete walls jetting out at 45% s
I could see the wounds as she bent her front legs to get traction from flesh at the knees…..
I thought how she suffered, how tired for standing so many days. The thirst and hunger…..
And now……Fear of me…..
A half a meter away and my hands extended very slowly now………I touch her….
My left hand touched and petted her head softly…my right hand touched down her back….slowly….all the way….
The plan was to cradle her , under her neck and haunches.
She could bite me but not kick me…….well that was the plan…..
Just as I moved in she ………lunged over my shoulder and called out like a calf……Moooo…
I bear hugged her and we went down……..But I have her and I wasn’t letting go…..and all I could hear was our hearts beating and Ava’s camera
Clicking away…….and time stood still for a moment, like it has for me many times before.
God is good Msabu………(Out of Africa)
My heart was racing as I tried to maneuver the doe for a good and safe hold for the two of us……
At that moment I totally handled her she gave up and went limp……..
Like a sack of potatoes…..
I was so worried she would have a heart attack and die in my care.
I went to a corner of the mote to use as leverage to hoist the doe up and over the top….
To freedom…….
I stood at the base and pushed her over my head to the edge…….
She could see safety……Freedom…….Home…..
The doe just didn’t have it in her, she didn’t try to go…..to get up….
To help me help her and I could not get her any higher…..
I shouted……..Ava….
I need you to help me….
She replied…”Do I have to put the camera down?”
Yes!!! Dear I said…
What shall I do asked Ava…….
Grabbing the doe’s ears, Ava was able to hold the deer so I could relocate to get better leverage.
A heave and a push the deer was over the top and I collapsed on top of her.
After a brief rest I carried her off to a meadow next to where I live, a travel trailer totally off the grid in the woods.
Getting some water I washed out her mouth with my fingers, washed her tongue and let her rest…….
I was a mess…….so swampy smelling……..Shall I Go On….
I’m getting naked outside and going into my camper to take a hot shower…..or Two…..
I had to shower my shower…..what a mess…….
Returning to Ava and the Doe we had a friend come to join us…….
Cole my Black Cat……
He plopped down right between all of us……
We sat for a bit, reflecting what all just happened…….
Moments passed and I invited Ava in for tea…….
As we talked……this was the third encounter we had in a very short time.
The second was the Honey Bee rescue…..
And the first was…
Well I invited her to go to my secret place to hunt for the……Elusive Morel Mushrooms…..
I picked over six hundred this year…..
Ava picked 100 morels with me, the day before she was with the New York City Mycology Society……
And was skunked out…I think the group as a whole found twenty….
I was a Morel mushroom god……
As time passed I excused myself to check on the team……
Walking up I could see Cole cuddling with the doe……..
That’s my boy……
The doe jumped…startled…..stumbled……fell………
Cole ….startled of all this went the other way…….
The doe……..jumped over a shrubbery….
I turned to go back home a job well done……

20.8.2014. The former signal gantry at Falsgave, Scarborough is still doing its job (albeit a little narrower) - but now at the northern end of Grosmont station on the NYMR.
LNER Thompson B1 Class 4-6-0 No 61034 'Chiru' (aka 61264) pulls into Grosmont station with the 10.25 Whitby - Pickering passenger service.
Feed train 48T "crosses over" from the old NS track alignment to the north to the new NS alignment over the Laurel Street, Ash Street, and 5th/6th Street bridges to the south.
Eventually, NS' new double track mainline will be shifted east to the graded area on the far right side of this photo. This is needed to make room for UP's new double track mainline along the 10th Street Corridor.
Lot's of work has been completed, but much, much more will be needed to finish this massive project by late 2025.

Essaouira is a city in the western Moroccan economic region Marrakesh-Safi, on the Atlantic coast. In the Berber language, which is spoken by a sizeable proportion of the city's inhabitants, it is called "Taṣṣort", meaning 'the small fortress'. Until the 1960s, Essaouira was generally known by its Portuguese name, Mogador.
Archaeological research shows that Essaouira has been occupied since prehistoric times. The bay at Essaouira is partially sheltered by the island of Mogador, making it a peaceful harbor protected against strong marine winds.
Essaouira has long been considered as one of the best anchorages of the Moroccan coast. The Carthaginian navigator Hanno visited in the 5th century BC and established the trading post of Arambys.
Around the end of the 1st century BCE or early 1st century CE, the Berber king Juba II established a Tyrian purple factory, processing the murex and purpura shells found in the intertidal rocks at Essaouira and the Iles Purpuraires. This dye colored the purple stripe in the togas worn by the Senators of Imperial Rome.
A Roman villa was excavated on Mogador island. A Roman vase was found as well as coinage from the 3rd century CE. Most of the artifacts are now visible in the Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah Museum and the Rabat Archaeological Museum.
In 1506, the king of Portugal, D. Manuel I, ordered a fortress to be built, named Castelo Real de Mogador. The fortress of Castelo Real of Mogador fell to the local resistance of the Regraga fraternity four years after its establishment, in 1510.
During the 16th century, powers including Spain, England, the Netherlands and France tried in vain to conquer the locality. Essaouira remained a haven for the export of sugar and molasses and as an anchorage for pirates.
Present city of Essaouira was built during the mid-eighteenth century by the Moroccan King, Mohammed III, who tried to reorient his kingdom toward the Atlantic for increased exchanges with European powers, choosing Mogador as his key location. One of his objectives was to establish a harbor at the closest possible point to Marrakesh. The other was to cut off trade from Agadir in the south, which had been favouring a political rival of Mohammed III, and the inhabitants of Agadir were forced to relocate to Essaouira.
For 12 years, Mohammed III directed a French engineer, Théodore Cornut, and several other European architects and technicians to build the fortress and city along modern lines. Originally called "Souira" ("the small fortress"), the name became "Es-Saouira" ("the beautifully designed").
Mohammed III took numerous steps to encourage the development of Essaouira including closing off the harbour of Agadir to the south in 1767 so that southern trade could be redirected through Essaouira. European communities in the northern harbour of Rabat-Salé were ordered to move to Essaouira through an ordinance of 21 January 1765.
From the time of its rebuilding by Muhammad III until the end of the nineteenth century, Essaouira served as Morocco's principal port, offering the goods of the caravan trade to the world. The route brought goods from sub-Saharan Africa to Timbuktu, then through the desert and over the Atlas mountains to Marrakesh. The road from Marrakesh to Essaouira is a straight line, explaining the king's choice of this port among the many others along the Moroccan coast.
