A trio of Cormorants
Broken Group Islands
Barkley Sound, B.C.
I probably couldn't have gotten a better pose out of these three birds. They are sitting atop a rocky islet in the waters of Barkley Sound, just south of Ucluelet, B.C. In the distance behind them are the mountains of Vancouver Island; the most distant snow-capped ones are about 100 km away.
This islet is part of the Broken Group Islands, a scattering of over 100 small islands and islets found in Barkley Sound off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Together with Long Beach and the West Coast Trail, the Broken Group is part of Pacific Rim National Park.

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

I'm always amazed by the grace and beauty of these huge birds in flight. Smooth and unhurried, they soar through the air like giants in the sky!

The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and 'Gunnedoo' lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe.
These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry.
The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle.
As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come.
Each of the Three Sisters stand at 922, 918 & 906 metres tall, respectively.

Grand Trunk Western train #451 heads west through Andersonville, Michigan enroute back to Durand with 3 GP38AC's in September of 1977.
Actually if you look closely there are 5, counting the 2 lifeboats by the cruise ship. There is a tour excursion boat in the foreground, a tender lifeboat on the right, and the Royal Princess. If you take a good look at the Royal Princess you will see that a movie is being shown on the big screen on the pool deck.
There is a pink band that happens in Prescott, I don't what its called. It happens several times a year in the east. it only lasts for a couple minutes. I was out there to get landscape shot and heard something in the weeds. I thought it was a Javelina so Circled away and came back around. It's not the first time a group of pricks walked into a landscape shot.
Jubilee 45699 Galetea gets into its stride departing York on the Scarborough Spa Express. That three cylinder beat sounds good especially when working hard.
A shot from this mornings trip to Dawlish Warren Beach. When I arrived the skies very very grey and overcast but as time went on the clouds started to breakup revealing some beautiful soft colours.
It took some days until I had recovered from the drive from Newcastle to Whitby (driving on the left side of the road, a car with gears to shift and hills/mountains/whatever).
I finally managed to convince myself that it was a bad idea to rent a car and not use it.
So I drove to Bridlington. Bridlington North Beach to be precise. And apart from the bit where I had to go right through Scarborough it went fairly well.
And to my surprise Bridlington had some colourful beach huts as well. :o)
A trio of mountain tops
The Three Rondavels on Mpumalanga’s Panorama Route give a spectacular view over the Blyde River Canyon. Shaped like traditional African beehive huts, the Three Rondavels form three huge pinnacles of rock rising above the canyon below.South Africans know the rondavel as a traditional beehive-shaped hut built and used over centuries by indigenous people as their homes.
Once known as the Three Sisters, the geological formations known today as The Three Rondavels, are one of the many natural highlights along Mpumalanga's Panorama Route.
The Three Rondavels are spectacular peaks which look exactly like rondavels -– round and fat, rising to a peaked top, but much, much higher than any traditional dwelling. In fact, when you stand on the viewpoint, 1 380m above sea level with the Blyde River Canyon below, you'll still be looking up at those three distinctive peaks which tower 700m above the surrounding countryside.
