Yesterday I was invited to take some photos for the Norwegian Wildlife Hospital, which got this beautiful young golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) the day before.
It was found on Jæren, and needed to get treatment for its left eye.
Even though it's sad when birds and animals are injured, it is always special to get the chance to meet a raptor this close, and gratifying that there are vets who spend their spare time saving them.
(Ung kongeørn in Norwegian)

Flea market shelves are unique. It always amuses me how people try and dress up their junk. Note to self... if I ever need a toupee or the wife needs a wig, maybe a furry winter hat, check the high end section at the flea market first.

Chandra's unique ability to precisely locate and resolve individual X-ray sources in 12 globular clusters in our Galaxy has given astronomers a crucial clue as to the origin of these sources. Two clusters, known as NGC 6266 (or M62) and NGC 7099 (or M30), are shown here in this 2003 image.
A globular cluster is a spherical collection of hundreds of thousands and even millions of stars buzzing around each other in a gravitationally bound stellar beehive that is about a hundred light years in diameter. The stars in a globular cluster are often only about a tenth of a light year apart. For comparison, the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light years away.
Most of the point-like sources in these images are binary star systems containing a collapsed star, such as a neutron star or a white dwarf star, that is pulling matter off a normal companion star. While direct, head-on collisions between stars are rare even in these crowded circumstances, close encounters occur and can lead to the formation of binary star systems containing a collapsed star.
The images illustrate a general trend observed for globular clusters. Clusters such as M62 where the stars are packed very closely together and the rate of close encounters is high have more X-ray binaries than those such as M30 in which close encounters occur less often. This is strong evidence that the X-ray binaries in globular clusters are formed by close encounters.

The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 kilometers (19,660 mi), is designed primarily to facilitate transportation to and from Antananarivo, the Malagasy capital. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Few Malagasy own private vehicles; long-distance travel is often accomplished in taxi brousses ('bush taxis') which may be shared by 20 or more people.
While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Programme has classified nearly two-thirds of the overall road network as being in poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and dahalo (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education.
Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, to deter attacks from dahalo, the government of Madagascar requires that drivers travel in convoys of at least ten vehicles. Car collision fatalities are not fully reported, but the rate is estimated to be among the highest in the world. Random police checkpoints, at which travelers are required to produce identity documents, are spread throughout the country. Crops are transported by ox cart locally and by truck inter-regionally. Human-powered vehicles, once the only means of road transport, are still found in the form of pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Taxi brousses constitute a rudimentary road-based public transportation system in Madagascar. Rides on taxi brousses cost as little as 200 Malagasy ariary (roughly US$0.10) as of 2005, and vehicles involved are often overpacked, sometimes with the assistant driver riding on the outside of the vehicle. Stops on their routes are generally not fixed, allowing passengers to exit at arbitrary points.

La red de carreteras de Madagascar, que comprende alrededor de 4.500 carreteras únicas que abarcan 31.640 kilómetros (19.660 millas), está diseñada principalmente para facilitar el transporte hacia y desde Antananarivo, la capital malgache. El transporte por estas carreteras, la mayoría de las cuales no están pavimentadas y tienen dos carriles de ancho, suele ser peligroso. Son pocos los malgaches que poseen vehículos privados; Los viajes de larga distancia a menudo se realizan en taxis ("taxis rurales") que pueden ser compartidos por 20 o más personas.
Si bien la mayoría de las carreteras principales están en buenas condiciones, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos ha clasificado casi dos tercios de la red vial general como en malas condiciones. Estas condiciones pueden hacer que sea peligroso conducir a velocidades de moderadas a altas y los ataques de dahalo (bandidos) representan una amenaza a bajas velocidades. Muchas carreteras son intransitables durante la estación húmeda de Madagascar; algunos puentes (a menudo estructuras estrechas de un solo carril) son vulnerables a ser arrastrados. Son pocos los malgaches rurales que viven cerca de una carretera en buenas condiciones; La mala conectividad vial puede plantear desafíos en la atención de salud, la agricultura y la educación.
Los conductores en Madagascar circulan por el lado derecho de la carretera. En algunas carreteras, para disuadir los ataques desde Dahalo, el gobierno de Madagascar exige que los conductores viajen en convoyes de al menos diez vehículos. Las muertes por colisiones automovilísticas no se informan en su totalidad, pero se estima que la tasa se encuentra entre las más altas del mundo. Por todo el país hay puestos de control policial aleatorios, en los que los viajeros deben presentar documentos de identidad. Los cultivos se transportan en carretas de bueyes a nivel local y en camiones a nivel interregional. Los vehículos de propulsión humana, que alguna vez fueron el único medio de transporte por carretera, todavía se encuentran en forma de pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Los taxis constituyen un rudimentario sistema de transporte público por carretera en Madagascar. Los viajes en taxi cuestan tan solo 200 ariary malgaches (aproximadamente 0,10 dólares estadounidenses) en 2005, y los vehículos involucrados suelen estar demasiado llenos, a veces con el asistente del conductor viajando en el exterior del vehículo. Las paradas en sus rutas generalmente no son fijas, lo que permite a los pasajeros salir en puntos arbitrarios.

A fisheye photo of the unique toilet pods at 'Sketch' in Conduit Street, London.
I took my wife here for afternoon tea back in April as a belated Valentine's present. The food and ambience were superb as you'd expect for a restaurant with two Michelin stars but it was the toilets I really wanted to photograph.......
For those intrigued by the restaurant you can take a lok here : sketch.london/venue_Gallery_David_Shrigley.php?menu=1#gsc...
From Wikipedia : "Sketch is a restaurant on 9 Conduit Street, Mayfair, London, England, which opened in 2003. The restaurant is owned by Mourad Mazouz and the Head Chef is Pierre Gagnaire. The cuisine is described as 'New French', and is a loose adaptation of the cuisine served in Gagnaire's three Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris and is executed by Hervé Deville and Johannes Nuding.
Mazouz came to public attention through the success of Momo, the North African restaurant and bar he opened in 1997 just off Regent Street, although he was already well known in France for his celebrated restaurants, Au Bascou and 404.
The restaurant covers two floors of a converted 18th century site in Conduit Street, Mayfair. Its dining area contains a permanent exhibit of David Shrigley artwork, and Shrigley designed the restaurant's tableware."

A unique piece of social and architectural history - the Galloway car was built here in the 1920's, the inspiration of Dorothée Pullinger who wanted to design a car for women, built largely by women. The design of the building was modernist with classical features such as moulded concrete cornice. There was a tennis court on the roof that is apparently still there. Two large "R"s are visible in the brick work of the top storey. If ever there was an iconic building that symbolised the achievement and struggle of women in industry this is one of them. It should be preserved and saved. See also www.itv.com/news/border/2021-04-30/dorothe-pullinger-why-...
At 8.5, these are a little tight, but not that bad. I walked a few NYC Aves in them without any problem. There's just no slippage! But look at them...
Seen on 20th Aug 2016 at Yeovil bus station, L55BUS is a Scania N94UB with a Castrosua City CS40 body and was new to Kings Ferry as YP52 CUU in 2002.
Another perspective of an old storefront in Wheeling, with awning windows on the 2nd floor, great brick and stonework,
segmental arches above the 3rd floor windows, and detailed brick cornice.
Unique place on Herengracht canal where the Reguliersgracht. canal is crossed by seven bridges.
The boat is about to go under the Reguliersgracht bridge coming up the the place where one can see the seven bridges lined up. In order to see the bridges of Reguliersgracht line up, you’d have to be on stilts (or in a boat).
Melissa and Tommy wanted a unique cake - something special.. with stripes (but not too stripey), and greens (but not too green!). After much thought, the final design came to life. The "Tie the Knot" theme was carried out in many aspects of the wedding decor - including the invitations, which were the main inspiration for the cake.
Fondant icing with fondant stripes in multi-greens and pink, ribbed fondant ribbon and knot, gumpaste striped roses and leaves.
Clients: Melissa and Tommy, Married Sat. August 2, 2008 - Green Valley Country Club
Flavor: "Pink Champagne" - White cake infused with grenadine and champagne with champagne custard, strawberry preserves and white chocolate truffle. Fondant icing.

A unique element of St. Nicholas Russian Church (Biserica Rusă) is its Iconostasis seen here entirely sculpted from wood and covered with thin sheets of gold.
It was made in Moscow, according a model of the icon screen of the Holy Archangel’s Cathedral (Church of the Twelve Apostles) in the Moscow Kremlin.
The interior of the church was painted in 1948 partially in oil colors by the Russian painter Cudinov in a neo Byzantine style.
Too much more detail:
Russian Ambassador Mikhail Nikolaevich Givers initiated the building of a Russian Orthodox church in central Bucharest in 1905. It was meant mainly for the use of the Russian Embassy employees, as well as for Russians living in the capital city of the Kingdom of Romania. It was funded by the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II and designed by a V. A. Preobrazhensky.
During World War I, just before the start of the occupation of Bucharest by the Central Powers, it was closed, while all valuables and the archives were transported to Saint Petersburg, where they vanished during the Russian Revolution of 1917. After the war, physical damage was repaired by the Russian community in Bucharest, with services starting again in 1921. .
The old Russian priest died and in 1935 the church was transferred to the authority of the Romanian Government, which meant it for the use of the students and professors at the University of Bucharest.
In 1947, at the request of Soviet authorities, the church passed once again to the Patriarchate of Moscow, which named a new Russian priest and provided funds for its refurbishment.
In 1957 Patriarch Alexius I decided to transfer it again this time to the Romanian Orthodox Church, who had it restored once again. It was sanctified in 1967 and in 1992 it was once more designated for the use of students and professors at the University of Bucharest. To this day it is known as Biserica studenţilor ("The students' church").
Feeling invisible? Cool. People can only see what they can imagine which means you are so unique that no one can wrap their mind around the idea of you.
I call this Place the Board Walk. it's a long Stretch of a Woden Boardwalk. with bushes and shubery along the sides. also a Couple of Coves of water Baordered by a Rock wall. which leads to This "Stage" Which is Pretty cool. looks like it's made from Fallen trees, Tree Branches etc. it's seen better times. Though that's what Makes it so appealing!
Nice Place to Sit & read a Book or Just Relax and daydream!
Must be Spooky as all Hell at Night
