I have seen locks attached to bridges all over Europe, but I've never seen the sheer weight in numbers attached to the railway bridge over the Rhine in Cologne. There must be hundreds of tons in weight secured to the structure!
*water challenge*
Tried out my new underwater housing in the pool on the 4th. I have to admit I was a bit scared to put my camera in the water for the first time but it worked fine and felt secure. :) Very clunky and hard to use but a $75 housing beats the pro ones for over $1,000.
Champ doesn't dive all the way in or anything but I was able to get some shots of him jumping in the pool to fetch a toy. This is also the first instance where the slow, slow 5D was a challenge to use.
While Chinese cars have grown out of their copying phase, in Chinese trucks it is often easy to recognize the European truck that served as an example.
Oh, and load securing isn't taken very seriously.
Week 2 for the killdeer nest in mulch. This mama's wise choice is working well for her. She kept silent & didn't do a broken wing dance when I walked by. She did stand up so I was able to see all 4 eggs under her. No 2nd parent that I've seen at this location.

This mamba is most impressive; long, sleek, smooth and very dangerous. Thankfully her enclosure was secure.
With a half-hitch, the winch was secured.

Venice, Italy. The locked gate seems inappropriate. At first it appears that the Madonna and Child are prisoners. Instead the gate merely prevents tampering with the small shrine, meaning that the objects have some intrinsic value to its creator.
One from earlier this month ... a few years back, I was obsessed with how people tied up their boats, as no 2 seemed to be tied the same.
After securing the load and wanting to get it to a safe place, the Brown Falcon took off again.

Today I am very excited because I got confirmation that I was able to secure a very difficult to get ferry reservation to Haida Gwaii, a place that I have dearly wanted to visit for longer than I can remember. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity, though, who knows? Haida Gwaii is a very, very special place called by some the Northern Galapagos. To get there is itself a trek to remote Northern BC. From Vancouver Island I will catch the Inland Ferry that goes up the Inside Passage. You can see it labelled at the bottom right. It is a ten hour ferry ride through incredible nature -- narrow passages and wildlife are common all along the way (grizzlies if I am lucky). It drops me at Prince Rupert, one of our most northern towns, from which it is another eight hour ferry ride across the Hecate Strait from the mainland to Haida Gwaii itself. Once on Haida Gwaii there is no camping reservations -- you go out and find a place to set up your tent, or whatever (in my case I have a converted back of an SUV). I'll be there alone with zero cell service (ZERO) outside of the one or two central towns on the island for about twelve days. I will spend every day exploring this amazing place, which most all Canadians learn about from an early age in school, with my cameras. Many across the globe will recognize it as that place with the ancient Totem Poles you see in textbooks. Many parts of the island system are inaccessible by vehicle, and require long planning times, to access them by boat. It is famous as an ocean kayaking place, because it is one of the only ways to go to many places. First Nations people thankfully control much of it and measure the health of this protected UNESCO site for all of us. I will be there in late June. I'll have to catch up with my 365 after I leave the island because there really won’t be much cell service, or so they say (I’ve discovered that it is rather surprising where you do find it).
So much life hidden in the cracks and crevices. Moss, Lichen and Fungi can find a safe and secure home too.
Lord and Lady Tully honor the Lords of the Narrow Sea and the shipbuilders, making important connections as they embark upon their mission to secure the trading route.

The Wood Stork is one of Florida’s signature wading birds, a long-legged, awkward-looking bird on land that soars like a raptor in the air.
The Wood Stork has many folk names, including Wood Ibis (due to its downcurved, ibis-like bill) and flinthead (for its scaly-looking bare head). The word "wood" probably refers to the bird's favored nesting habitat in lowland wetlands.
This is North America's only breeding stork, and the U.S. population is now federally listed as Threatened, down listed from Endangered in 2014 due to some population recovery.
Florida holds the largest nesting population of Wood Storks in the United States.
Wood Storks have a specialized style of feeding, relying on touch to catch fish. A group feeds by slowly wading through the water with open bills; when a bird's bill touches a fish, it quickly snap it shut to secure the meal.
Although not considered true migrants, juvenile Wood Storks disperse northward after the breeding season, and adults move in response to food availability. They are impressive fliers, with flocks soaring as high as 6,000 feet on warm air thermals.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.

After securing the services of the Class 707’s until August 2022, the Class 456’s have become surplus to requirements, so the rumour has it they won’t be out on the mainline after this weekend (16th Jan). Here, South Western Railway EMU’s No.s 456009, 456011 & 455871 are seen heading away from Wimbledon Station on the 13th of January 2022, working the 11:36 2J27 service from London Waterloo to Hampton Court.
আমি তখন রাতের ট্রেনে করে ঢাকা থেকে বাড়ি আসছিলাম। আমার মতো আরো অনেকেই সেরাতে আসন বিহীন টিকেট নিয়ে ট্রেনে উঠেছিল। ছবির যাত্রীরা (খুব সম্ভবত মা - মেয়ে) আমার পাশেই দাঁড়ানো ছিল এবং ট্রেন ছাড়ার বেশ কিছু সময় পর ওনারা ক্লান্তিতে ট্রেনের মেঝেতেই বসে পরেন। তুলনামূলক বেশি ক্লান্ত হওয়ায় মেয়েটিকে মা নিজের বাহুতে শোবার জায়গা করে দেন। ট্রেনে ভিড় ও প্রতিকূল পরিস্থিতির মধ্যেও মায়ের কোলে নিশ্চয়তা ও নিরাপত্তা পেয়ে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ে মেয়েটি।
