A quick family portrait (without Fyero, who declined the journey to Mer Bleue) this afternoon.
Not the best of the three of us; but it's rare we take a family photo so it's getting posted anyway.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Aerial view of the North Sands shipyard, Sunderland, November 1975 (TWAM ref. CN8832A).
'Belic' an SD 14 launched from Bartram's, 4th September 1975 is at Palmershill Quay. 'Mersey Bridge', launched from the Deptford yard on 25th October 1975, is at the Manor Quay. 'Nikitas Roussos' is under construction at the North Sands shipyard. Many thanks to Anthony Renton for identifying the vessels.
This set celebrates the achievements of the famous Sunderland shipbuilding firm Joseph L. Thompson & Sons. The company’s origins date back to 1846 when the firm was known as Robert Thompson & Sons. Robert Thompson senior died in 1860, leaving his second son Joseph Lowes Thompson in control. In 1870 the shipyard completed its last wooden vessel and was then adapted for iron shipbuilding.
By 1880 the firm had expanded its operations over much of North Sands and in 1884 completed the construction of Manor Quay, which served as fitting out and repair facilities. For many years in the late nineteenth century the yard was the most productive in Sunderland and in 1894 had the fourth largest output of any shipyard in the world.
The Depression affected the firm severely in the early 1930s and no vessels were launched from 1931 to 1934. However, during those years the company developed a hull design giving greater efficiency and economy in service. During the Second World War the prototype developed by Joseph L. Thompson & Sons proved so popular that it was used by the US Government as the basis of over 2,700 Liberty ships built at American shipyards between 1942 and 1945.
After the War the North Sands shipyard went on to build many fine cargo ships, oil tankers and bulk carriers. Sadly the shipyard closed in 1979, although it briefly reopened in 1986 to construct the crane barge ITM Challenger.

Tomaso Buzzi (born September 30, 1900, Sondrio, Italy–died February 16, 1981, Rapallo, Italy) was an Italian designer, architect, and interior decorator. Tomaso Buzzi graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1923. Before graduating, he became associated with the Studio di Sant’Orsola group, which included Gio Ponti, Michele Marelli, and Emilio Lancia.
In 1927, along with Paolo Venini, Gio Ponti, Emilio Lancia, and Pietro Chiesa, he created the association named “Il Labirinto,” a design house dedicated to promoting modern decorative arts with innovative design and high quality. He produced glass, ceramic, and porcelain objects, as well as mirrors and handcrafted wood furniture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Tomaso Buzzi became a renowned designer and one of the favorite architects of the Milanese bourgeoisie. Although Buzzi and Gio Ponti had a long-lasting professional collaboration, they parted ways by the early 1930s, and Buzzi took on more industrial design projects. During this time, Buzzi designed cutlery and metal flatware for Sambonet in Milan and Christofle in France, glasswork for Fontana Arte in collaboration with Pietro Chiesa, and fabrics for Ravasi in collaboration with Mariano Fortuny.
Between 1932 and 1934, Tomaso Buzzi became the artistic director at Venini & Company, for which he designed a series of vases with classical forms and manufactured through traditional techniques. During this time, he and Gio Ponti organized several national and international artistic events, including the Triennale di Milano and the National Sports Exhibition. From the late 1930s until the end of the war, Buzzi isolated himself to avoid collaborating with the Fascist regime. He even declined to collaborate with Gio Ponti for the VI Triennale di Milano in 1940.
After World War II, he was appointed representative of the National Liberation Front, and he focused his work on creating luxury furniture for the upper classes. His furniture pieces mixed pre-modern styles with a soft sense of modernity until the late 1960s.
In 1956, Tomaso Buzzi bought La Scarzuola, a 13th-century Franciscan convent in Umbria, Italy, and transformed it into his residence. There, he created a fantastic architectural complex with structures of strong esoteric value, which he named with eloquent titles, such as the Boat of Souls, the Stone Whale, the Tower of Desperation, the Staircase of Life, the Temple of Eros, the Well of Meditation, the Theater of the Bees, and the Termite.

Tot 17 september telt de Leidsestraat 4 "halve" tramlijnen: lijn 2 en 12 stadinwaarts en 13 en 17 richting staduit.
De 2068 van lijn 13 ontmoet de 2138 van lijn 26...eeh, lijn 12. De rechterwagen hoort vanwege zijn beplakking over de Piet Heintunnel eigenlijk in IJburg thuis, maar was blijkbaar voor onderhoud of een defect naar de remise Lekstraat geweest en nu dus hier terecht gekomen. Let ook op het informatiescherm: daarop wordt vermeld dat deze halte vervallen is voor lijn 2 en 12- wat dus nou nét in die richting NIET het geval is- maar hier wreekt zich het feit dat men meestal alleen in de drukste richting zo'n scherm heeft geplaatst. De linker halte moet het doen met een veel kleiner schermpje, waarop alleen standaard dienstregeling te zien is.

One of a bunch of spectacular strikes near Bouse, AZ on September 1st. The shot was handheld while I was working on contortion skills — hunching around for angles through the open window that wouldn't get rain all over the lens.
And all those stepped leaders! So many paths it considered taking to ground...pretty happy with the balanced choice it made.
For this September round at Shiny Shabby I have create a new Gacha set with 13 items ( 3 Rare),
My idea is creating a different area or "corner" at home to hang out with friends.
Textures and colors prevail to the simplicity of forms.
3 Chairs as RARE with different textures to change in 3 themes: Classic, Pastel and Colors.
Cabinet with 4 interchangeable boxes, so is possible to create different combinations
3 Fun carpets to contrast with the straight lines of the rest of the collection.
"Corner" set available from Sept. 20 at Shiny Shabby

Pictures from our excursion in Juneau - "Whale Watching and Wildlife Quest." We have never had as good a whale watching expedition as we had in Juneau. We left from Auke Bay and spent much of the time in the Favorite Channel. The whale watching was spectacular on this cloudy and rainy day in Alaska. Taken on September 4th, 2022 on our port call to Juneau, Alaska. From our balcony room on the port side of the ship, we were able to see seaplanes taking off and landing. Great fun seeing these planes in Juneau. Beautiful visit to the Alaskan State Capital. On board the Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas for the seven night Alaska Experience Cruise (September 2nd through 9th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Seattle, Washington and the itinerary includes stops in Juneau (AK), Skagway (AK), Sitka (AK) and Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) before heading back to Seattle.
Rutting Season ;
Between late September and early November, is the rutting season for many deer species. Red stags roar and fallow bucks grunt with great sparing battles between rival males.
Follow these rules:
Get no closer than 30 metres from the deer
Stay well away if the deer are lying down as they are likely digesting food
Do not follow the deer if they move away as this can cause them extreme stress
Never surround the animals
Never feed the deer
The red deer is the largest land-mammal in the UK with a males (stags) standing 107-137cm at the shoulder and weighing 90-190kg.

Westbound, Thomaston. September 8, 1995
The brick structure is the only remaining building of the original General Henry Knox estate. Built between 1796 and 1797, it was one of seven out‑buildings which stood in a semicircle behind the original Knox mansion named Montpelier. Called the “Farmhouse” or the “tenants' building” it served as a living facility for the unmarried men employed on the estate to care for the animals, do the farm chores and maintain the residence.
It also served as the Thomaston railroad station and currently houses the Thomaston Historical Society.
In 1797 Henry Knox commissioned a bell from Paul Revere, to place in the steeple of the Congregational Meeting House in Thomaston. The bell cracked and had to be recast by the Revere Foundry in 1822. It hung in the church until the 1960s, when the building's deterioration forced its removal.

Jardin des Plantes 26/09/2020 10h08
The end of September; the Autumn colors become visible very slowly.
Jardin des Plantes
The Jardin des Plantes is the main botanical garden in France. It is one of seven departments of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. It is situated in the 5ème arrondissement and covers 28 hectares.
Founded in 1626, the garden was not planted by Guy de La Brosse, Louis XIII's physician, until 1635 as a medicinal herb garden. It was originally known as the Jardin du Roi. In 1640 it opened to the public. After a period of decline, Jean-Baptiste Colbert took administrative control of the gardens. Dr. Guy-Crescent Fagon was appointed in 1693, and he surrounded himself with a team of brilliant botanists, including Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, Antoine de Jussieu, Antoine Laurent de Jussieu and his son Adrien-Henri.

Kurt Knispel was born on 20 September 1921 in Salisov (German: Salisfeld), Czechoslovakia, today Zlaté Hory, Czech Republic, situated on the border with Poland. He was the highest scoring tank ace in WW2 (and probably in the whole history of armoured warfare). As a gunner and tank commander, he achieved 168 confirmed and at least 27 unconfirmed tank kills.
In the period September 1940 to April 1945, Knispel served in the German Heer (Army). From 1940 to 1942 he served with Panzer-Regiment 29 and Panzer-Regiment 4, fighting in Panzer IV tanks. In the periods 1943–1944 and 1944–1945, he fought in Tiger E and Tiger B heavy tanks, respectively, while serving with schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 (from December 1944 with title „Feldherrnhalle”).
Up until now, we have had only a little hard evidence about the circumstances of his death. This is a brief summary of the tactical circumstances surrounding his very last combat mission.
Schwere Panzer-Abteilung „Feldherrnhalle” (the ex-503) was alerted on 26 April 1945. At 0730 hours, following a 30-minute artillery preparation, the elements of the 27th Guards Rifle Corps of the Soviet 7th Guards Army, together with the 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade, launched an attack in the southern foreground of Brno, from the area of Musov, via Vlasatice, in a northwesterly direction.
According to data as at 0700 hours that day, the 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade had the following serviceable AFV-strength: one IS-2 heavy tank, eight T-34/85 tanks, plus one SU-76M, one SU-85 and four ISU-122 self-propelled guns. Under the command of the Soviet Tank Brigade, the combined company of the Romanian 2nd Tank Regiment also participated in the fighting with three German Panzer IVs and two Panzer IIIs, and also with two R-35 and four R-1 tanks.
The Soviet 409th Rifle Division captured Pasohlávky. At the same time, Hill 222, which was of tactical importance, 2km east of Pasohlávky, was taken by the 72nd Guards Rifle Division, in cooperation with the 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade. The Soviets ran into German AFVs and infantry 700m west of the hill. In the fighting that ensued, the Soviet tank brigade lost one T-34/85 tank (burnt out), and two knocked-out ISU-122 self-propelled guns (one of them burned out). An officer and three NCOs were killed and four NCOs were wounded in action. According to their own report, the Soviet tankers destroyed three guns, eight machine-guns and four cars, and killed 80 German soldier there.
By 2200 hours, the Soviet AFVs with elements of the 72nd Guards Rifle Division, were closing on the road junction east of Vlasatice (from where the road runs northwards to Nova Ves). However, right before the junction – 2km northwest of Hill 222 – they had already run into the defense put up by the German Panzer-Division “Feldherrnhalle 2” as early as 1400 hours that day.
At that time, some – probably two – Tiger B tanks of the schwere Panzer-Abteilung “Feldherrnhalle 2” were stationed in the area, and knocked out one of the attacking Soviet AFVs as early as 26 April.
On the night 26/27 April, seven tanks and 10 APCs from the Kampfgruppe of Panzer-Division “Feldherrnhalle 2” – at least two of which were Tiger B heavy tanks, including Feldwebel Knispel’s AFV with the turret number “132” – succeeded in halting the Soviet attack. Afterwards, at 0445 hours, they launched a counterthrust and in a mere 15 minutes they pushed back the elements of the 27th Guards Rifle Corps and the 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade in a southeasterly direction.
Shortly after 0500 hours on 27 April, the Soviet AFVs, divided into two groups, set up defences on Hill 222. Six combat vehicles took up firing positions on the northeastern slopes of the hill in order to close the road running from Nová Ves towards Musov. Another 10 tanks and self-propelled guns established an ambush position on the southwestern slopes to cut off the eastward route of the Germans, who, in the meantime, succeeded to retake Pasohlávky.
By 1000 hours, the Soviets had parried three German counterthrusts in the area of Hill 222. In so doing, they managed to stop the Germans, who retreated, leaving six knocked out AFVs behind (according to the war diary of the 72nd Guards Rifle Division two of them burned out; however, in the war diary of the Soviet tankers, five of the knocked out German AFVs burnt out). According to their own report, the Soviet AFVs captured an APC, took 18 prisoners (mainly from Panzer-Division “Feldherrnhalle 2”) and killed 80 soldiers in combat. The 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade lost two knocked out T-34/85 tanks (one of them burnt out) in the combat fought on the morning of 27 April.
The Tiger B heavy tanks reported, that they had knocked out a total of six Soviet AFVs during the fighting on 26-27 April. Five of these knockouts are also confirmed by the Soviet archival sources. At least two of these AFVs were knocked out by Knispel according to Franz Kurowski. These were the Feldwebel’s 167th and 168th confirmed tank kills, the latter being his last knockout.
This time, however, Feldwebel Knispel didn’t come through the fighting unscathed. According to a surviving crew member, a shell, fired from the gun of a Soviet T-34/85 tank from 3rd Tank Battalion of 27th Separate Guards Tank Brigade, impacted on the ground next to their Tiger B, and a shell fragment lodged itself in Knispel’s head. Contrary to what Franz Kurowski maintains, the heavy tank itself didn’t take a penetrating hit, and didn’t catch fire, either. The commander of the other tank, Feldwebel Skoda, instantly hurried to the seriously wounded tank commander’s rescue, but his Tiger B was also hit, and Feldwebel Skoda killed in action.
In our view, Knispel was wounded on 27 April 1945 in the pre-dawn hours or in the morning. The injury that proved lethal, was due to the fact that Knispel, ignoring safety precautions, fought with his turret hatch open and without wearing his helmet, his head poking out of the open hatch, in order to be able to orient himself in the darkness and facilitate communication with the Panzer-Grenadiere who were riding on his vehicle. Soviet archival data also confirms that the accompanying Panzer-Grenadiere were riding on the German AFVs that attacked from the direction of Nové Ves towards Hill 222 that night.
Feldwebel Knispel was promptly transported to a military hospital but he died, on 28 April 1945, of his head injury, in Vrbovec, Moravia. He was buried there in a mass grave (according to other sources he was interred in an individual grave) together with his identification tag.
The remains of the world’s most successful tanker ace were found and identified by his dog tag by Czech researchers in April 2013, after three years of research.
The mortal remains of Feldwebel Knispel were buried with full military honours in the Brno cemetery.

Halsbandparkiet - Psittacula krameri
september 2021
NL: De Halsbandparkiet (Psittacula krameri) is een exoot uit tropisch Afrika en Zuid-Azië, die ooit naar Europa is gehaald als volièrevogel. In de loop der jaren is een aantal van deze vogels ontsnapt of vrijgelaten. Zij bleken goed te aarden in West-Europa en konden zich vermenigvuldigen tot vele tienduizenden exemplaren.
(Bron: Wikipedia)
Eng:
The Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the Ringnecked Parakeet, is a gregarious tropical parakeet species that is popular as a pet. Its scientific name commemorates the Austrian naturalist Wilhelm Heinrich Kramer.
This non-migrating species is one of few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in 'disturbed habitats', and in that way withstood the onslaught of urbanisation and deforestation. In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call.

City lights at night are a fairly reliable indicator of where people live. But this isn’t always the case, and the Korean Peninsula shows why. As of July 2012, South Korea’s population was estimated at roughly 49 million people, and North Korea’s population was estimated at about half that number. But where South Korea is gleaming with city lights, North Korea has hardly any lights at all—just a faint glimmer around Pyongyang.
On September 24, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this nighttime view of the Korean Peninsula. This imagery is from the VIIRS “day-night band,” which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe signals such as gas flares, auroras, wildfires, city lights, and reflected moonlight.
The wide-area image shows the Korean Peninsula, parts of China and Japan, the Yellow Sea, and the Sea of Japan. The white inset box encloses an area showing ship lights in the Yellow Sea. Many of the ships form a line, as if assembling along a watery border.
Following the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War, per-capita income in South Korea rose to about 17 times the per-capital income level of North Korea, according to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Worldwide, South Korea ranks 12th in electricity production, and 10th in electricity consumption, per 2011 estimates. North Korea ranks 71st in electricity production, and 73rd in electricity consumption, per 2009 estimates.

Abbey Junction
The Up Branch line from Weddington Jn. has been taken out of use, pending removal.
The Down Branch line has been severed at a point 320 yards beyond the trailing connection to the existing Judkins Siding and a stop block erected.
The line beyond the stop block towards Weddington Jn. has been taken out of use. The portion of the Down Branch line remaining is now also known as Judkins Sidings.
The elevated shunting signal outside the Down Branch line reads from Judkins Sidings to the Up Birmingham line. The points in the Down Branch line of the former trailing crossover to the Up Branch line has been retained to act as trap points.
The following signals have been taken away:-
Down Branch Starting, Up Branch Distant, Up Branch Home,
Shunting signal at the points in the Down Birmingham line of the trailing connection to the Up Branch line reading "set-back" Down Birmingham to Down branch or Up Siding.
The position 1 junction indicator on signal AJ.42 has been taken away. A subsidiary signal, with a stencil route indicator exhibiting SDG - to Judkins Sidings has been provided in this signal.
A shunting signal reading "set-back" Down Birmingham to Up Siding, has been provided at the points in the Down Birmingham line of the trailing connection to the Up Siding.
Weddington Junction
A stop block has been placed over the Down and Up Ashby lines immediately on the Market Bosworth side of the junction. The Down and Up Ashby lines towards Nuneaton T.V. have been taken out of use, pending removal.
The lines between Market Bosworth and the stop block have become sidings.
All the signals formerly worked from Weddington Jn. box have been taken away.

In September 1939, the town of Oswiecim and its surrounding areas in Poland joined to become Auschwitz. During that same year, Gestapo Inspector SS-Oberfuhrer Wiegand initiated the idea of transforming Auschwitz into a major concentration camp. Auschwitz was located at the center crossroads of many Polish cities, and, therefore it was an ideal location for the shipping of incoming prisoners from German occupied Europe. When first entering the camp of Auschwitz I, the prisoners saw over the main entrance the words; “Arbeit Macht Frei” (work will give you freedom). These words were to promote the false hope that hard work by the prisoners would result in their freedom: however, the sad truth was that the prisoners were doomed to slave labor and death was the only real escape.
