KAKLIK CAVE - or PAMUKKALE under ground
Pamukkale has a world-wide reputation. Kaklik Cave on the other hand is less known. Although I am a native of the region, it is only recently that I have come to know Kaklik Cave. It has been discovered in recent years. Kaklik Cave is 36 km from Denizli, a city in southwest Turkey. If you are travelling eastward from Denizli take a detour of 4 km when you reach Kaklik intersection on the highway. Just follow the road signs to the cave. It's located at 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E.
Chemical sedimentation processes similar to those found in Pamukkale are also at work here in Kaklik Cave. There is a slight difference to the composition of the water though. Upon entering the cave you smell a strong scent of sulphur or rotten egg. I am not a chemist or geologist, so I can only make an educated guess. Here there is a greenish formation on the rocks that may be due to bacterial growth or merely a chemical process. The pools and travertines are stunningly similar to those in Pamukkale although at a smaller scale. Unfortunately Wikipedia has no entry on the subject at the time of this writing.
Kaklık Mağarası veya Yeraltı Pamukkale'si
Pamukale'yi duymayanımız yoktur. Ama bir Denizli'li olarak Kaklık Mağarası'nı ben de son yıllarda duydum, ve ilk defa 2006'da gördüm. O zaman uygun bir kameram olmadığı için resmini çekememiştim. Şimdi çok şükür bir NIKON D60 ım var. Dün bol bol resim çektim.
Denizli - Afyon karayolunun 32. km'sinde trafik ışıklarından sola sapıp 4 km gidiyorsunuz. Düz ovada mağara görecegim diye beklemeyin, çünki mağara yer altında. Haritadaki yeri 37°51'22.25"N 29°23'6.59"E. Burada Pamukkale'deki kimyasal sedimentasyona benzer bir reaksiyon söz konusu olabilir. Travertenler Pamukkale'dekilere çok benziyor, sadece daha küçük. Konunun uzmanı olan arkadaşların katkılarını buraya ilave edebilirim.
What are you greedy humans doing to our precious planet?
You slaughter my brothers and sisters for fun,
you take away our habitat,
you plunder the earth
and you heat it up with your selfish waste of energy from fossil fuels.
When are you gonna stop all this madness?
Lions – with the scientific name Panthera leo – are the second-largest cat in the world, just behind the Asian tiger. These immense creatures, weighing between 300 and 550 pounds, have sparked the popular imagination for centuries, inspiring awe through their speed and muscular power.
Three million years ago, lions roamed all over Africa and the Eurasian supercontinent. But today, various ice ages and changes in the natural environment means that their range is reduced primarily to Africa and select parts of Asia.
According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, lions are a “vulnerable” species, meaning that their numbers could and should be higher. Currently, researchers estimate that there are between 16,000 and 30,000 lions left on planet Earth. Without significant intervention, there is a chance that they could find themselves on the endangered list alongside other species most at risk of extinction.
World Lion Day, therefore, is an opportunity for lion lovers all over the planet to push back against the decline in the range and habitat of the king of beasts. These giant animals are among the world’s largest land species and an apex predator with a reputation like no other. It would be a tragic loss for both nature and humanity if the species were to disappear entirely from the natural environment.
The threats against lions, however, are all too real. They face the dual specters of increasingly popular “trophy hunting” and human incursion on their traditional wildlands. A reduction in food combined with hunting tourism is making them more vulnerable with every passing year. Over the last four decades, the lion population declined by fifty percent.
World Lion Day, therefore, has three objectives. The first is to raise awareness of the plight of the lion and the issues that the species faces in the wild. The second is to find ways to protect the big cat’s natural environment, such as creating more national parks and reducing the areas in which people can settle. And the third is to educate people who live near wild cats on the dangers and how to protect themselves. Humans and large species like cats can live in harmony together, but only if they understand how to do so. (daysoftheyear.com)

The reputation of Magnasco,one of the most individual eighteenth-century painters,resides in the exuberance of his of his technique and the fantasy of his subject matter.Here people from the fringes of society have gathered to watch the spectacle of a man trying to teach a magpie to sing-an impossible task.The picture was probably painted when Magnasco was working for the Medici in Florence and was in contact with Sebastiano Ricci-the MET
Ribeauvillé, Alsace, France.
Ribeauvillé en idioma francés y oficialmente, Rappschwihr en alsaciano, Rappoltsweiler en alemán, es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Alto Rin, en la región de Alsacia.
Sus habitantes reciben en francés el nombre de Ribeauvillois y Ribeauvilloises. Es uno de los centros de producción vinícolas de la llamada Ruta de los Vinos de Alsacia, situado al norte de la capital departamental Colmar y 75 km al sur de Estrasburgo.
Ribeauvillé está, en parte, bordeada por antiguas murallas. Cuenta con varias casas medievales pintorescas y dos iglesias antiguas, la de San Gregorio y la de San Agustín, que a su vez son construcciones góticas. El ayuntamiento contiene una valiosa colección de antigüedades. El Carolabad, un manantial salino de temperaturas cálidas que tuvo buena fama en la edad media, fue redescubierto en 1888, e hizo de Rappoltsweiler un balneario.
Cerca de la localidad están las ruinas de tres famosos castillos, Ulrichsburg, Girsberg y Hohrappoltstein, que antiguamente pertenecieron a los señores de Rappoltstein.
Ribeauvillé in French and officially, Rappschwihr in Alsatian, Rappoltsweiler in German, is a locality and French commune located in the department of Haut-Rhin, in the region of Alsace.
Its inhabitants receive in French the name Ribeauvillois and Ribeauvilloises. It is one of the wine production centers of the Alsace Wine Route, located north of the departmental capital Colmar and 75 km south of Strasbourg.
Ribeauvillé is, in part, bordered by old walls. It has several picturesque medieval houses and two ancient churches, the one of San Gregorio and the one of San Agustín, that at the same time are gothic constructions. The town hall contains a valuable collection of antiquities. The Carolabad, a saline spring of warm temperatures that had a good reputation in the middle ages, was rediscovered in 1888, and made Rappoltsweiler a seaside resort.
Near the locality are the ruins of three famous castles, Ulrichsburg, Girsberg and Hohrappoltstein, that formerly belonged to the gentlemen of Rappoltstein.
On a beautiful September 20, 1991, a LTV Mining (former Erie Mining) taconite train slowly unloads over the dock at Taconite Harbor, Minnesota. The train is pulled by EMD F9A No. 4213, GP38 No. 4215, F9B No. 4225 and F9A No. 4210. Two lake boats are docked below. Up front is the Adam E. Cornelius, a 680-foot vessel sailing for American Steamship Co., and behind is the Charles M. Beeghly, a 806-foot boat from the Interlake Steamship Company fleet. Over the years, the Adam E. Cornelius has earned a reputation of being a “hard luck” boat—it has been grounded several times, lost power in open water, struck an Interstate Highway bridge, suffered major ice damage—yet still remains active today! I sure wish the railroad was…
Perhaps you will know by reputation this small jewel of only 30 residents.
Getting to Bagno Vignoni is always magical and this day in August there was a wonderful light.
-A rectangular basin, of sixteenth-century origin, which contains a source of hot and steaming thermal water that comes out of the underground stratum of volcanic origins. Since the time of the Etruscans and then of the Romans - as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds - the baths of Bagno Vignoni have been frequented by illustrious figures, such as Pope Pius II, Catherine of Siena, Lorenzo de 'Medici and many artists who had elected the village as a holiday home.-Wiki
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagno_Vignoni
Throughout this time this village has remained unchanged.
Once the thermal bath was made here. Today, there are spas, or you can immerse yourself in the small path of hot water (only the feet) that crosses the village and heads towards the steep escarpment of the Parco naturale dei Mulini
In 1982 the Soviet director Andrej Arsen'evič Tarkovskij, exiled for some years in Tuscany, set many scenes from the movie Nostalghia in Bagno Vignoni, which the following year won the Grand Prix du cinéma de création at the Cannes festival.
In the final scene of the trailer, see this square....

Killick Beach has the envious reputation as being one of Australia's best beaches.
Located at Crescent Head the beach shot to fame in the 1960's when it was discovered that the long and slow wave breaks were the idea location for long boards to surf.
That tradition continues even to today as surfers descend into the small township to test their skills at Killick Beach.

The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.
I believe this is Tucker, a frequent visitor to the dog park and as friendly as a Golden's reputation says he should be.
Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
The most fearsome member of Africa’s big 5 isn’t the lion, or even the elephant, but the buffalo. Known for its fiercely protective nature and incredible strength, Buffalos are considered one of the most dangerous animals to encounter in the wild — and for good reason!
Their unpredictable temperament, coupled with their massive size and sharp horns, has earned them a reputation for charging with surprising speed and ferocity. This aggressive behaviour is why big game hunters added the buffalo to the list of big 5 animals, referring to the five most dangerous animals in Africa to hunt, alongside the lion, leopard, elephant, and rhinoceros.
Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy.
Inspired by the album art of 'reputation' by Taylor Swift.
A decade ago, the Lord Mayor had the brilliant idea of tackling Ayia Napa's reputation as a place of cheap tourism by opening a sculpture park. Ever since, sculptors from various parts of the world have brought their art work to be exhibited in this open air sculpture park. Some objects, like this statue of Poseidon/Neptune, are in dialogue with ancient Greek mythology, others are not and others again are fully abstract. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35.
This 1928 Minerva Mascot perched on the prow of a Hibbard & Darrin AF model Phaeton.
Minerva was the Roman version of Athena, the Goddess of War, wisdom, justice, law, victory, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. Talk about wearing multiple hats.....Mirroring the Greek myths around Athena, she was born of Metis, the Titan, who had been swallowed by Jupiter, and burst from her father's head, fully armed and clad in armour.
Hey, the blockbuster Comic book inspired movies have nothing on the Greek and Roman Gods.
In 1883, a young Dutchman, Syivain de Jong (1868-1928) settled in Antwerp, Belgium. As so many others at the time,
Minerva started out manufacturing standard safety bicycles in 1897, before in 1900 expanding into light cars and
"motocyclettes". particularly motorized bicycles which were a forerunner of motorcycles. In
1902 De Jong added cars to his production as well with a 6 hp four-cylinder model. Maintaining a very high reputation for quality Charles S Rolls (of future Rolls-Royce fame) was a Minerva dealer in England selling the 2.9-litre 14 hp.
In 1908, Minerva obtained a worldwide Knight Engine license.
The Knight motor, developed by Charles Yale Knight in the United States, used double sleeve valves and ran almost silently. All future Minervas would use this engine type. Customers for the Minerva would include kings of Belgium, Sweden and Norway, Henry Ford, and numerous Hollywood stars, and scattered ultra-wealthy.
Like most of it's competitors, the Great Depression, and then WWII spelled the death knell but many of the cars have been restored and show about the world in Concours.

Its haunted reputation stems from two main stories. One recounts a fatal night in January, 1815. A party of soldiers visited their friend, the first lighthouse keeper John Paul Radelmüller. When the lighthouse keeper saw his guests were becoming too drunk, he refused to produce more liquor. The enraged soldiers beat Radelmüller to death and escape along Blockhouse Bay. His body was allegedly cut into pieces and buried around the islands.
The other story says that Radelmüller simply vanished in 1815. In 1893, the lighthouse keeper at the time allegedly found parts of a human skeleton buried close to the lighthouse. Many believed it to be Radelmüller’s unfound remains, but this story remains controversial.

Here is another rescan of a previously-posted Flickr image. During our intense 1995 chase of the Union Pacific E units on the Oregon Trunk, there was one stretch where we drove pedal to the metal.
After we shot the train near Moody along the Columbia River, we made a 51-mile sprint to Sherar down US 97 and Oregon 216. The curvy drive into the Deschutes River Canyon on highway 216 was especially challenging. From Sherar, we backtracked a couple of miles along the Deschutes River to the Twin Bridges, using the road built on the former Des Chutes Railroad (UP) grade. Since this rocky road has a well-deserved reputation for destroying tires, we took it as easy as we dared.
The Twin Bridges mark a spot where the Oregon Trunk crosses from the west bank of the Deschutes River, goes through a tunnel on the east bank, and then immediately crosses the river back to the west side of the canyon. Roughly 44 miles out of Wishram, it is one of the definitive locations on the Oregon Trunk, with numerous angles for photography. Today, it would be a fine location to fire up a drone.
We made it to the Twin Bridges in time for this shot of the train. Fortunately, no state troopers, flat tires or rattlesnakes were encountered in the creation of this image. Our next photo would be near South Junction, just a fun filled 42-mile drive away.
The crocus is one of the first flowers to emerge in the spring. It is often referred to as the light bulb flower because it looks like a bright light bulb until the petals unfurl into the cup shaped flower. It is no wonder it has a reputation as a symbol of cheerfulness and glee as it brings the landscape alive with color after a long winter. [...]. The crocus flower is primarily associated with the mirthfulness and glee associated with youth. This flower has an uplifting and cheerful affect. Google
Excerpt from buffalocanoeclub.com:
Nestled in beautiful Abino Bay on the Canadian shores of Lake Erie, the Buffalo Canoe Club is one of the area's finest private yacht Clubs. Established in 1882, the Club is rich in both history and tradition. Offering its Members unparalleled opportunities for sailing and family recreation, the Buffalo Canoe Club is particularly proud of its high-quality sailing program, producing many champion sailors. It's no wonder the Club has earned a reputation for being one of the best places for a child to learn how to sail.
Santorini is an island whose reputation precedes it. Many photographers consider it the most magical of the many Greek islands.
On this legendary island in the Cyclades, its many contrasts delight: black earth against whitewashed homes clinging to the cliff-side, or wild volcano-created natural sculptures seen against glorious deep blue seas.
Santorini was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep.
Santorini, historically known as Thera, is in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast from the Greek mainland.
The island forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group, with a current population of around 16,000.
Sausalito (Spanish for "small willow grove") is a city in Marin County, California, located 7 km north of San Francisco.
The community is situated near the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sausalito developed rapidly as a shipbuilding center in World War II, with its industrial character giving way in postwar years to a reputation as a wealthy and artistic enclave, a picturesque residential community (incorporating large numbers of houseboats), and a tourist destination.

The Giulietta was a major departure for Alfa Romeo. In the years before and just after the Second World War, Alfa had built its reputation on large and luxurious performance cars. With the Giulietta, however, the company switched to a formula of small, nimble sports cars. Unexpectedly successful, Alfa built on the Giulietta and its successor Giulia for decades, building legions of fans for its crisp, sharp engine's performance and the alacrity of its simple but effective chassis.. First created as a special series awarded as prizes in an Italian national lottery, the Giulietta Sprint coupe amazed its lucky winners with its performance and handling. Alfa rushed the Bertone-bodied Sprint into series production, followed by the Berlina 4-door sedan and Pinin Farina's Spider in 1955. Renowned for their incredible responsiveness and the eager performance of their 1,290 cc twin cam aluminum alloy engines, they were as rewarding to drive as many larger or more expensive automobiles of the day, and frequently took the measure of more expensive and exotic cars on race tracks.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, It is a beautiful, fresh ground up restoration finished in its original color of red with a black interior, black convertible top, red carpets, correct vinyl floor mats, original hubcaps and Michelin tires. Enjoyable specimen of this lively classic Italian sports car.
By the late 1920s, Italy's Isotta Fraschini had earned a reputation for both performance and luxury among discerning (and well-heeled) American buyers. In 1928, chassis 1353, an Isotta Fraschini 8A built in highest-performance Super Spinto trim, was sent to American coachbuilder LeBaron to receive a boattail cabriolet body, said to be the first constructed by the New York firm. On Sunday, this stunning Italian-American classic with ties to an aviation entrepreneur and a silent film star captured Best-of-Show honors at the Pacific Northwest Concours d'Elegance, held on the grounds of the LeMay - America's Car Museum.
Now owned by Peter Boyle of Oil City, Pennsylvania, the Isotta Fraschini 8A SS was first displayed at the 1928 New York Auto Show, where it caught the attention of aviation pioneer Harry Williams and his wife, actress Helen Marguerite Clark (whose looks inspired Walt Disney's original Snow White). Williams, who co-founded the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company (which produced racing airplanes and brought airmail and passenger services to the Southeast) was so smitten that he purchased the car at the show, despite a price tag said to be in the $20,000 range. (even more expensive than a Duesenberg at the time!)
The businessman was reportedly a daredevil on the ground as well as in the air, and there's little doubt that he tested the 8A SS's guaranteed top speed of 100 MPH, courtesy of its 160-horsepower inline eight-cylinder engine. One popular tale had Williams receiving a $10 fine for speeding through a small Louisiana town; at his court appearance, the millionaire businessman reportedly peeled a $20 bill from his roll, placed it on the table and said, "Here's $20, now don't bother me on the way back."
Fortune, however, does not always favor the bold, and Williams was killed in a 1936 plane crash that also claimed the life of a company test pilot. By the time of his death, his partners in the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company had also perished in aviation accidents, and sole control of the company fell to Helen Marguerite Clark. With little interest in running her husband's company, Clark promptly sold the business to Eastern Air Lines, owned by World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker. What happened to the 1928 Isotta Frashcini 8A SS is less clear, but by the 1960s the car was in the possession of Florida collector Jim Thomas.
Boyle acquired the car in 2005, with less than 23,000 miles on the odometer. A full restoration came next, and after six-plus decades out of the public eye, the Isotta Fraschini made its reappearance at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It captured a second-place award in its category there, but then went on to take top honors at the 2007 Dayton Concours d'Elegance and the 2007 Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance. t was a good day for Boyle, who also took home a category win with his 1938 Steyr 220 Roadster, which captured the Most Elegant Award (Open) at Sunday's show.

Tvindefossen (also written Tvinnefossen; also called Trollafossen) is a waterfall in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.
The many-stranded waterfall, often said to be 152 metres (499 ft) high, is actually 116 metres (381 ft), is formed by a small Kroelvi stream, tumbling over a receding cliff.
In addition, in the late 1990s the water at Tvindefossen acquired a reputation for rejuvenation and revival of sexual potency that made it one of the most important natural tourist attractions in western Norway, with as many as 200,000 people a year from the U.S., Japan and Russia visiting and filling containers with the water.

Nadat Maastricht in de dertiende eeuw stadsrechten had verworven verrezen hier de eerste stadsmuren. Het ommuurde deel van de stad bleek al snel te klein en nog geen honderd jaar later kwam er een tweede ommuring om de stad te staan. Een groot deel van de stadsmuren zijn nog in goede staat en nog steeds te bezichtigen. In de zestiende eeuw werden de stadsmuren uitgebreid met het rondeel de Vijf Koppen en het rondeel Haat en Nijt dit wordt door sommige ook wel de derde stadsmuur genoemd. De Jekertoren behoort net als de Helpoort tot de best bewaarde delen van de oude ommuring. Beiden zijn in het begin van de vorige eeuw in zijn geheel gerestaureerd. Langs de oude stadsmuren van Maastricht kan men een schitterende wandeling maken die je geheel door het oude centrum van de stuurt.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesse

Third image in this Swan Series...
It was full sun at 9:30 in the morning, and the trees were reflecting their colors into the pond water. Relaxed and regal, this swan posed so nicely for me and wasn't fazed by my presence.
This was a country roadside pond, and I was standing 150 feet from the swan when capturing the image, giving the wild swan plenty of space.
Having said that, this was the male Mute swan, swimming 50 feet away from the female who was sitting on her nest. So despite its relaxed appearance, it was faithfully keeping guard and would have not hesitated to drive me off if it felt threatened!
While graceful in appearance, Mute swans earn their reputation as the most aggressive swans in North America, as compared to the other two species, the Trumpeter and the Tundra.

Now owned by Peter Boyle of Oil City, Pennsylvania, the Isotta Fraschini 8A SS was first displayed at the 1928 New York Auto Show, where it caught the attention of aviation pioneer Harry Williams and his wife, actress Helen Marguerite Clark (whose looks inspired Walt Disney's original Snow White). Williams, who co-founded the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company (which produced racing airplanes and brought airmail and passenger services to the Southeast) was so smitten that he purchased the car at the show, despite a price tag said to be in the $20,000 range. (even more expensive than a Duesenberg at the time!)
The businessman was reportedly a daredevil on the ground as well as in the air, and there's little doubt that he tested the 8A SS's guaranteed top speed of 100 MPH, courtesy of its 160-horsepower inline eight-cylinder engine. One popular tale had Williams receiving a $10 fine for speeding through a small Louisiana town; at his court appearance, the millionaire businessman reportedly peeled a $20 bill from his roll, placed it on the table and said, "Here's $20, now don't bother me on the way back."
Fortune, however, does not always favor the bold, and Williams was killed in a 1936 plane crash that also claimed the life of a company test pilot. By the time of his death, his partners in the Wedell-Williams Aviation Company had also perished in aviation accidents, and sole control of the company fell to Helen Marguerite Clark. With little interest in running her husband's company, Clark promptly sold the business to Eastern Air Lines, owned by World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker. What happened to the 1928 Isotta Frashcini 8A SS is less clear, but by the 1960s the car was in the possession of Florida collector Jim Thomas.
Boyle acquired the car in 2005, with less than 23,000 miles on the odometer. A full restoration came next, and after six-plus decades out of the public eye, the Isotta Fraschini made its reappearance at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It captured a second-place award in its category there, but then went on to take top honors at the 2007 Dayton Concours d'Elegance and the 2007 Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance. t was a good day for Boyle, who also took home a category win with his 1938 Steyr 220 Roadster, which captured the Most Elegant Award (Open) at Sunday's show.

Ruddy shelduck have a reputation for their aggressive quarrelsome nature and as such are more popular for wildfowl collections with plenty of space. Their rich coppery-cinnamon plumage, pale buff head and black bill, legs and tail is both striking and unusual. To go with their bold nature ruddy shelduck utter a very noisy nasal whooping call.
Ruddy shelduck have a wide and varied habitat but favour inland fresh water and are rarely seen in coastal habitats. They are often nocturnal in their feeding behaviour.
Ruddy shelduck have varied nesting sites in their natural environment from holes to crevices. Relatively easy to breed in captivity, they lay large clutches of 8-12 eggs incubating them for about 28 days.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesses.

ATA HISTORY
The American Thresherman Association (ATA) was organized in March of 1959.
At the annual meeting in 1962, Amos Rixman commented that the Association "organized three years ago this month for the purpose of furnishing some enjoyment to its members and to be the beginning of something very worthwhile." Already in its brief life the Association had earned such a reputation that three towns vied for the chance to become the permanent site for the show. The Pinckneyville Chamber of Commerce invited the ATA with open arms and pledges of support, and the Perry County community was chosen over Mascoutah and Highland for the 1962 show site.

Bosham has a reputation as one of the prettiest towns in England, which it is; none of the photos I took when I visited did it justice. If I had a bucket list Bosham would be near the top for a re-visit.

Yesterday I saw a post on the local community pinboard. The image depicted a man waving arms at a gull taking off with a young child seemingly held by it's feet. It was of course a composite image that wasn't particularly well done. Sea gulls have webbed feet so I am not sure how it was really supposed to be grasping a small child. I suspect the lift required for a gull to get airborne with twice it's own body weight would also exceed the capabilities of it's wings by some margin. Trouble is, there would have been someone out there who thought it was a real scene. They are protected here on account of declining numbers, but people still despise them for reasons I can't understand.
Here is a young Herring Gull just minding it's own business and watching me from the top of a street light. I did not think for one moment it was sizing me up as possible breakfast.
