Southbury Volunteers were dispatched to a morning fire at 126 Lower Fish Rock Rd the initial dispatch was for a fire involving a wood stove. They arrived to find a 2 story wood home set below the road on a lot with a steep incline sloping down to Lake Zoar with heavy fire showing. The large smoke column from the fire was clearly visible for miles due to the still and cold morning air. As fire fighters stretched in to attack the fire mutual aid was responding from Southbury Training School FD, Oxford, Sandy Hook, Woodbury, and Bethlehem in the form of tankers, engines, and a quint to help battle the blaze which was quickly spreading through out the dwelling. Several attempts were made to get the quint up the narrow and icy road without success. A water fill station at the travel center off I-84 was manned by Woodbury Engine 4 to resupply the multiple tankers shuttling water to the supply site at the intersection of Upper and Lower Fish Rock Rds. A defensive attack was established due to the damage and heavy fire in the upper floors of the structure and the stubborn fire would burn several hours before it was brought under control. At least one fire fighter was examined by EMS after he reported feeling ill at the scene. No civilian injuries were reported and the fire marshal was on scene to start the investigation as to the cause of the fire.

New Britain Fire arrived on the scene at East and Belden to find a vaacant commercial structure and attached wood garage structure in the rear of of that building well involved. The intense fire would also involve the adjacent occupied residential structure to the left. The fire in the building of origin would eventually lead to the collapse of the roof trapping pockets of fire and leading to an extended operation. The fire in the exposure was quickly knocked down but not before it caused significant exterior structural damage. For safety reasons the operation was an external one and the crews used multiple hand lines as well as the department's tower ladder to stream water on the fire and bring it under control. Mutual aid in the form of station coverage was requested from Newington, West Hartford, and Hartford Fire. www.onscenefirephoto.com
This structure was built in 1965 for a Sizzler Restaurant. It has been several others after that. The last restaurant was a place called Eans Burge Restaurant After that closed a catering establishment opened for a brief time. But the City of Farmer Branch would not permit the catering business to operate so it was forced to cease operations. At the time the photo was taken the building had been vacant for at least three years. Thanks to Sheri Stevenson and Structured Commerical for the Information.

This was taken whilst close to Olympic Park.
I think that the overcast sky and the pushing of the black levels have made this appear like something a bit shadowy and menacing (in a way).
I think that the cables help to give a good sense of depth.
I like that you also get a good idea of the size of these structures without having a person in the photo.
Little tid-bit - our North Korean "tour guides" had a passenger manifest including every tourist's full name, birth date, and nationality. At the bottom of this manifest was a special section listing out all us foreigners. Interestingly enough, my name occupied 3x the height of ALL other entries on the list. There was at least one other American on the tour, but only I got the special treatment. Suspicious, no?
This whimsical 1937-built Château-style structure has sat unused since being moved a decade ago to get it out of the way of the Gardiner-Humber bridges expansion. In 2017 it will be transformed into an eatery and tourist information centre, having been waiting for the contract to expire at an adjacent nondescript concession (not seen, just to the right of the photo). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Gas_Stations
BIG5 White Rhino. Jock Safari Lodge. Kruger National Park. South Africa. Dec/2020
Rhino
A rhinoceros, commonly abbreviated to 'rhino', is one of any five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae, as well as any of the numerous extinct species. Two of the extant species are native to Africa and three to Southern Asia. The term "rhinoceros" is often more broadly applied to now extinct relatives of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea.
Members of the rhinoceros family are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all species able to reach or exceed one tonne in weight. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains (400–600 g) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick (1.5–5 cm) protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.[1]
Rhinoceros are killed by some humans for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market, and used by some cultures for ornaments or traditional medicine. East Asia, specifically Vietnam, is the largest market for rhino horns. By weight, rhino horns cost as much as gold on the black market. People grind up the horns and consume them, believing the dust has therapeutic properties. The horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails. Both African species and the Sumatran rhinoceros have two horns, while the Indian and Javan rhinoceros have a single horn. The IUCN Red List identifies the Black, Javan, and Sumatran rhinoceros as critically endangered
The black rhinoceros or hook-lipped rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is a species of rhinoceros, native to eastern and southern Africa including Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Although the rhinoceros is referred to as black, its colors vary from brown to grey.
The other African rhinoceros is the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The word "white" in the name "white rhinoceros" is often said to be a misinterpretation of the Afrikaans word wyd (Dutch wijd) meaning wide, referring to its square upper lip, as opposed to the pointed or hooked lip of the black rhinoceros. These species are now sometimes referred to as the square-lipped (for white) or hook-lipped (for black) rhinoceros.
The species overall is classified as critically endangered (even though the South-western black rhinoceros is classified as vulnerable). Three subspecies have been declared extinct, including the western black rhinoceros, which was declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2011

Rinoceronte
Os rinocerontes são cocomamíferos perissodáctilos (ungulados de dedos ímpares) da família Rhinocerontidae, que ocorrem na África e na Ásia. Atualmente, existem cinco espécies distribuídas em quatro gêneros. Duas ocorrem na África, o rinoceronte-branco (Ceratotherium simum) e o rinoceronte-negro (Diceros bicornis); e três ocorrem na Ásia, o rinoceronte-de-sumatra (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), o rinoceronte-de-java (Rhinoceros sondaicus) e o rinoceronte-indiano (Rhinoceros unicornis).
Vivem geralmente isolados, em savanas ou florestas onde possam encontrar água diariamente. São especialmente protegidos na África, por fazerem parte do grupo dos cinco grandes mamíferos selvagens de grande porte mais difíceis de serem caçados pelo homem, sendo então uma das grandes atrações turísticas do continente. Contudo, a caça furtiva continua afetando as populações de rinocerontes.
O rinoceronte-negro (nome científico: Diceros bicornis) é uma espécie de rinoceronte, nativa do leste, sul e centro da África, incluindo o Quênia, Tanzânia, Camarões, África do Sul, Namíbia, Zimbábue e Angola. Embora referido como "negro", sua cor varia do marrom ao cinza.
O outro rinoceronte africano é o rinoceronte-branco (Ceratotherium simum). A palavra "branco" no nome é frequentemente dita como um erro na tradução da palavra africâner wyd, que significa largo, referindo-se ao lábio superior em forma de quadrado, em oposição ao lábio pontudo do rinoceronte-negro.[3]
A espécie é classifica como criticamente em perigo, mas três subespécies já foram declaradas extintas, como declarado pela IUCN em 2011

Description of work: The Dumbarton Oaks Gardens were designed by the noted landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand, in cooperation with her clients Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, who purchased the property in 1920. The formal gardens occupy 10 acres. The major work was completed between 1921 and 1941, although changes, notably the addition of the Pebble Garden and redesign of the Ellipse, continued to be made by Mrs. Bliss, working with Ruth Havey. Endowments were established expressly for the purpose of maintaining the gardens and for supporting a program of research in landscape architecture.
