Purple Sandpiper - Calidris Maritima
In Britain, these birds occur in winter in good numbers principally along the east and south coasts, where they favour rocky shorelines adjacent to the sea.
It is much rarer as a breeding bird, found only in a localised area of the Cairngorms National Park, where 1–3 pairs have bred since the 1970s. Records of breeding by this species in the UK are monitored and archived by the Rare Breeding Birds Panel.
They are late migrants and move to rocky ice-free Atlantic coasts in winter. most go no further south than North Carolina and northern Portugal. They are fairly gregarious, forming small flocks, often with ruddy turnstones. This species is tame and approachable.
Their breeding habitat is the northern tundra on Arctic islands in Canada and coastal areas in Greenland and northwestern Europe. They nest on the ground either elevated on rocks or in lower damp location. The males makes several scrapes; the female chooses one and lays 3 or 4 eggs. The male takes the major responsibility for incubation and tends the chicks. The young feed themselves.
An apparent case of hybridization between this species and the dunlin has been reported from England.
A couple of pairs nest in Scotland, but this species is mainly a winter visitor to almost any rocky coast in the UK. Most are found in Orkney, Shetland and along the east coast of Scotland and northern England - it is scarce south of Yorkshire, other than Devon and Cornwall. The breeding areas in Scotland are kept secret to protect the birds from egg thieves and disturbance.
It is listed on Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day and spread love and kindness! ❤️❤️❤️
The fall leaves colors are very good this year. Busy after back from Rocky Mountains trip, no time to see the beautiful leaves at Quebec… Dig out the last year Quebec trip, found one panorama reflections, could not remember the exact location, just remembered passing through a bridge, the little houses were in the middle of the colorful forest, reflected on the still lake, like fairy tale world... There was a bottle on the lake, I did not remove it this time, just want to remind: protecting our environment is everyone’s responsibilities! 😊

The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.
In 1986, the district association of the west part of the city funded a competition for a new outdoor sculpture to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavík. Jón Gunnar's Sun Voyager won the competition, and the aluminium model was presented to the city for enlargement. The full-sized Sun Voyager was eventually unveiled on Sæbraut on the birthday of the city of Reykjavík, August 18, 1990.
The work is constructed of quality stainless steel and stands on a circle of granite slabs surrounded by so-called “town-hall concrete”. It was constructed in accordance with Jón Gunnar's enlarged full-scale drawing of Sun Voyager and was overseen by Jón Gunnar's assistant, the artist Kristinn E. Hrafnsson. The engineering of the sculpture was supervised by the technologist, Sigurjón Yngvason, in close cooperation with Jón Gunnar himself, the building itself was carried out by Reynir Hjálmtýsson and his assistant.
In an interview published in the newspaper Þjóðviljinn on 11 June 1987, Jón Gunnar describes the genesis of the work as being part of the Scandinavian art project, Experimental Environment, which conducted various artistic experiments in Iceland, Denmark and other places in the 1980s.
In May 1985, a group of artists, members of the Scandinavian art project, Experimental Environment, gathered to take part in the Saari-Vala Environmental Art Action in Bockholm, Finland. There I experienced a sense of the history of the origins of Icelanders, something which is also related in the present exhibition at the Nordic House in Reykjavík.
I had an uncanny feeling that I had been on this island before, when travelling on my way from Mongolia to Iceland, hundreds of years ago.
As you know, there have been speculations that the Icelanders as a race originated in Mongolia. I have discovered the history of their migration to Iceland, which runs as follows: Many centuries ago, a mighty warlord, let’s say it was Alexander the Great, was living in the centre of the known world. He dispatched his bravest and most experienced warriors, along with some women, scribes and other followers, on an exploratory expedition to the cardinal directions, the north, west, south, and east, in order to discover and conquer new, unknown territories. Those who headed east followed the rising sun until they reached the steppes of Mongolia. There they settled down and lived in comfort. Those scribes who accompanied the warriors were expected to document the expedition for the king. Several centuries later, when the documents written by the scribes eventually came to be examined, the people discovered that they had another fatherland in the west. They therefore decided to gather together their belongings and head back west towards the setting sun. We followed the sun for days and years, walking, riding and sailing. We enriched our experience and our determination grew in strength as our journey progressed, and we recorded everything that we saw and experienced. I remember endless pine forests, mountains and waterfalls, lakes, islands, rivers and seas before we eventually reached the ocean. We then constructed huge ships and sailed on westwards towards the setting sun.
As a result of this vivid experience of my participation in this expedition while on the island of Bockholm in the Finnish archipelago, I carved a picture of a sun ship into a granite rock by the sea. The sun ship symbolizes the promise of new, undiscovered territory. It is also being exhibited here at the Nordic House, made of aluminium.
There has been some dispute about the eventual location of Sun Voyager on Sæbraut in Reykjavík. Some people have complained that the ship does not face west, towards the setting Sun in accordance with the concept behind it. The original intention had been for Sun Voyager to be situated in the west part of Reykjavík, for obvious reasons. Jón Gunnar's original idea had been for the ship to be placed on Landakot hill, the prow facing the centre of Reykjavík and the stern to Christ the King Cathedral (Icelandic: Landakotskirkja). Another possibility was that it could be placed by the harbour in the centre of Reykjavík on a specially constructed base. The coastline by Ánanaust nonetheless eventually came to be Jón Gunnar's preferred location for the ship. Unfortunately, changes in the town planning for Reykjavík came to rule out this location. In the end, the final decision was taken (with Jón Gunnar's consent) that Sun Voyager should be located on Sæbraut on a small headland (which the artist jokingly called Jónsnes: Jón's Peninsula). Jón Gunnar was well aware that when bolted to its platform, Sun Voyager would be facing north, but felt that that made little difference when it came down to it.
Sun Voyager was built in accordance with the artist's hand-drawn full-scale plan. Its irregular form with the ever-flowing lines and poetic movement which are a distinctive feature of so many of his works make it seem as if the ship is floating on air. It reaches out into space in such a way that the sea, the sky and the mind of the observer become part of the work as a whole. As a result, Sun Voyager has the unique quality of being able to carry each and every observer to wherever his/her mind takes him/her. Few of Jón Gunnar's works have a simple obvious interpretation. As he stated himself, all works of art should convey a message that transcends the work itself. It is the observer who bears the eventual responsibility for interpreting the works in his/her own way, thus becoming a participant in the overall creation of the work. Jón Gunnar's works frequently make such demands on the observers, giving them the opportunity to discover new truths as a result of their experience.

In this family Fynn is responsible for the well-being of the tomatoes which means that he spends a lot of time with them, watches over them and I suppose he talks to them too. He does that every year and is quite successful. Last year we had a fantastic tomato harvest.
I add another capture in the comments.

Am 26.05.17 bespannte die 193 553 "Responsibility Driven", für TX im Einsatz, einen KLV Zug durchs Altmühltal. Hier ist der Zug bei Breitenfurt zu sehen.
Der letzte interessante Zug für diesen Tag war der DGS 43155 von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Q.E., welcher ab München Laim von einem Vectron Doppel übernommen wurde, 193 552 führte zum Glück und ergänzte somit meine Sammlung.
I'm not politically minded but the caption fitted the image of a person lying on the sign outside this office block, wanted to ask him why he chose this platform for a rest but thought against it!

Learning to color is being added to my set of at-home activities during the virus isolation period. This may give me a chance to try some new things that I have been wanting to try but responsibilities outside of home sometimes get in the way.
Vorig jaar stond ik een aantal kaar in Bornheim op de Linker Rheinstrecke. Dat gaat dit jaar niet snel gebeuren omdat ze daar een lange tijd bezig zijn met werkzaamheden aan onder andere de bovenleiding. Hierdoor is er vaak verminderd treinverkeer mogelijk en worden er veel goederentreinen omgeleid over de Rechter Rheinstrecke. Deze omgeleide treinen betreffen vaak intermodale treinen van verschillende privaten afkomstig uit Köln Eifeltor, België of Nederland.
Eerder de dag toen we onderweg waren richting Köln Gremberg zagen we op Köln Eifeltor een groene AlphaTrains 193 staan van TXL. TXL heeft in totaal 9 vectrons gehuurd van AlphaTrains welke allemaal een mooie bestickering hebben gekregen. De hoop was dat deze met een omgeleide trein zou passeren. We vermoedden dat de trein snel na onze aankomst zou passeren, aangezien de trein vertrekgereed leek te staan. Helaas kwam de trein maar niet langs en waren we hem eigenlijk al vergeten toen opeens midden op de middag het sein groen toonde richting Troisdorf. Na ongeveer 2 minuten kwam er wat groens door de bocht en werden we alsnog flink verrast.
Te Köln Gremberg komt de TXL 193 553 "Responsibility Driven" voorbij de verraste spotters. Aan de haak heeft ze een omgeleide intermodale trein waarmee ze zojuist is vertrokken uit Köln Eifeltor. De trein is onderweg via de Rechter Rheinstrecke richting Italië!

This building on the Woolmers Estate was originally built in 1830 as a chapel. One of the responsibilities of estate owners using convict labour was that they provided religious education to their charges. Once the convict era came to a close around 1850, the chapel was used sporadically.
The Archer family church was Christ Church in Longford. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53545212307/in/dateposted/ . From 1890 the chapel functioned under the auspices of the Longford Baptist Tabernacle to serve local farm workers. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53544563640/in/dateposted/
In 1910, Thomas Archer IV turned the chapel into a cider house. Using the apples grown in their nearby orchard, they produced a cider that was marketed locally.
The weight of so many responsibilities and distractions - even the worthwhile ones - has a crushing effect on a person's relationship with Christ. It ruins our taste for spiritual things. It suppresses our exuberance for spiritual service. It suffocates our passion for pursuing Christ and the intimate relationship He offers. It all grinds away at our soul. Eventually, following Jesus starts to lose its luster. The blessings and joys of walking with Him are crowded out by myriad tiny details of life. - John MacArthur

Do you know me?
Really know me?
You have opinions about my opinions
About my music
About my clothes
About my body
Some people hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Some people use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it
And judge me for it
Why?
We make assumptions about people based on their size
We decide who they are
We decide what they're worth
If I wear more, if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me?
Is my value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
Am Morgen des 9. Juni wurde kurz nach Sonnenaufgang Stellung bei Wernfeld bezogen - und der erste coole Zug lies auch nicht lang auf sich warten: Um 7:45 rumpelte Alpha-Trains/TXL 193 553 mit dem überpünktlichen - sogar etwas verfrühten - Kölner KLV durch die Kulisse, die zu der Zeit noch sehr von Morgenstimmung geprägt war. Nachdem die Lokomotiven mit Italien-Zulassung von TXLogistik Nördlich von München-Laim bzw. sogar von Kufstein relativ selten geworden sind, freute ich mich entsprechend über das Bild.

Am 30.Juli 2022 bespannte die ATLU 193 553 (Werbelok Responsibility Driven) den DGS 43151 von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Quadrante Europa in Italien für ihren Mieter TXL.
Die Aufnahme enstand südlich St.Goarshausen an der rechten Rheinstrecke (KBS 466).
Der Zug hatte mit ca 1,5 Stunden Verspätung den Loreleytunnel durch fahren und passiert nun die markanten Felsen mit dem Aussichtstempel Leiselfeld nördlich dem Betriebsbahnhof Loreley.
Die schon lange anhaltenden Trockenheit hatte die Natur schon früh im Jahr ausgedöört und sorgt schon viel zu früh für eine fast herbstliche Laubfärbung.

1 November 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Belgium crossed the barrier of 20,000 daily coronavirus infections. At the moment, 6,438 people are hospitalized for covid-19 in Belgium, with 1,105 of them being in intensive care units. The number of infections and the number of hospital admissions are rising so quickly that Belgium announced last Friday that it will activate a lockdown as of Sunday night. Hence, yesterday was the last day of trading before the emergency break to curb the increase of infections becomes effective. I would have expected that people would stay at home and the shops would be empty, but nothing was less true, there were huge crowds in shopping streets and big queues outside retail outlets selling non-essential goods. In summary, crowded shopping streets shamed our country the day before the lockdown becomes effective. Obviously, it didn’t sink in that it is now or never and that this is our last chance to avoid a nationwide tragedy. Why are people ignoring the fact that we are heading for a crash of our healthcare system and that this irresponsible behavior may result that hospitals will soon have to choose who they treat and who they don’t? We need to demonstrate a collective responsibility in combatting the pandemic, if not, we’re heading for a misty future - Damme, Belgium
