The wonderfully unique Plains Turkey! These quirky birds are one of Australia's largest at up to 1.2m tall & a very impressive 2.3m wingspan - they also boast the title of Australia's largest flying land bird!
This is a large male in full breeding display. During breeding season (once a year), the male will clear a display area & strut around with their tails cocked high. They will periodically inflate a large throat sac, producing a loud, deep roaring noise. Amazing to witness!
. The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The Bald Eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles.
There are two subspecies of Bald Eagles. The "southern" Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus, is found in the Gulf States from Texas and Baja California across to South Carolina and Florida, south of 40 degrees north latitude. The "northern" Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus alascanus, is found north of 40 degrees north latitude across the entire continent. The largest numbers of northern bald eagles are in the Northwest, especially in Alaska. The "northern" Bald Eagle is slightly larger than the "southern" Bald Eagle. Studies have shown that "northern" Bald Eagles fly into the southern states and Mexico, and the "southern" Bald Eagles fly north into Canada. Because of these finding, the subspecies of "northern" and "southern" Bald Eagles has been discontinued in recent literature.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County. Florida.

Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park is a beautiful natural attraction in Phrae Province of Thailand. Known for its unique rock formations, the park offers visitors the chance to explore a fascinating landscape steeped in cultural and geological significance. The name Phae Mueang Phi translates to City of Ghosts in Thai, reflecting the mystical atmosphere and eerie appearance of the park's rock formations. Also called hoodoos, these rock formations are the result of millions of years of erosion, leaving towering rock pillars that resemble ancient ruins or stone cities. The area has been inhabited by ethnic communities for centuries and remnants of ancient civilizations, such as ancient cave paintings, can be found in the park. These historical artifacts provide insight into the region's rich cultural heritage. The park is particularly beautiful during sunrise and sunset when the golden light illuminates the rocks and creates a magical atmosphere. There are beautiful viewpoints in the park and information boards with educational information about the geology, flora and fauna. The environment is serene and peaceful.
Phae Mueang Phi is a place of original rock formations in the Phi Pan Nam Range, Thailand. It is located about eight kilometers northeast of the city of Phrae in Phrae Province. The orange-brown area is full of many strange rock formations mushroom and anthill; depending on your imagination that were created more than two million years ago by eroded dirt and sandstone. You can walk to the viewpoint to see a panoramic view of the site and the surrounding green forest. Lots of nice spots to take pictures. However, I recommend that you visit the place in the morning to avoid the midday heat and don't forget to apply sunscreen.
Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park is een prachtige natuurlijke attractie in de provincie Phrae in Thailand. Het park staat bekend om zijn unieke rotsformaties en biedt bezoekers de kans om een fascinerend landschap te verkennen dat doordrenkt is van culturele en geologische betekenis. De naam Phae Mueang Phi vertaalt zich in het Thais naar City of Ghosts, wat de mystieke sfeer en het griezelige uiterlijk van de rotsformaties in het park weerspiegelt. Deze rotsformaties, ook wel hoodoos genoemd, zijn het resultaat van miljoenen jaren erosie, waarbij torenhoge rotspilaren zijn achtergebleven die lijken op oude ruïnes of stenen steden. Het gebied wordt al eeuwenlang bewoond door etnische gemeenschappen en overblijfselen van oude beschavingen, zoals oude grotschilderingen, zijn te vinden in het park. Deze historische artefacten geven inzicht in het rijke culturele erfgoed van de regio. Het park is bijzonder mooi tijdens zonsopgang en zonsondergang wanneer het gouden licht de rotsen verlicht en een magische sfeer creëert. Er zijn in het park prachtig uitzichtpunten en informatieborden met educatieve informatie over de geologie, flora en fauna. De omgeving is serene en rustig.
A blue day on Highway 55.
We was in Cincinnati, Ohio and saw this restaurant which I had to get a shot of this old car on top. I hope you enjoy my creative twist to it!
Thanks for visiting my friends! I appreciate all your support guys!
God bless...
Unique use for logs from a recently downed tree. When I think of a log fence I normally think of the logs being horizontal not like this. Orem, Utah.
Happy Fence Friday!
EMD's FL9 was unique to New England having been built exclusively for the hometown New Haven Railroad. These were the final F units built by EMD and the only ones designed to operate as dual mode diesel-electric or straight electric and the only ones equipped with five axles instead of four. We are fortunate that many survive today on or close to their home rails due to their amazing longevity with some serving into the early 2000s on Metro North. Examples are preserved at the Cape Cod Central Railroad, the Danbury Railroad Museum, the Railroad Museum of New England and the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum. This particular unit is privately owned by Webb Rail, but is kept on the grounds of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum where I found it on this lovely Veterans day reposing on the stub track north of the 1903 built NH depot coupled to the museum's GE 50-tonner and former NH caboose.
New Haven 2058 was built in November 1960 and once ran here on the Berkshire Line between Grand Central Station and Pittsfield which had continuous scheduled passenger service under the NH and into the PC era until the end of passenger service with the coming of Amtrak in 1971.

As I was out in our backyard setting up to capture a full moon image, I turned around and this view popped! Had fun playing with this capture! The edit I came up with is of our chiminea that we fire up quite often.
These cicadas are unique to the Midwest of the US. They are cyclical--- come out for a short period of time, then burrow near tree roots and re-emerge years later.
According to the local MSJ expert on cicadas, this year we are seeing the emergence of "Brood 10" which are 17 year cicadas. They have shown up early, possibly due to the warm winter we had. They were not due to be seen until 2021.
The link to the Mount St Joseph Cicada site is here: faculty.msj.edu/kritskg/cicada/Site/Cicada_home.html
and a good fact sheet is here: faculty.msj.edu/kritskg/cicada/Site/Cicada_Facts.html
Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.

Have a safe and wonderful new week everyone!

It's loved, but also hated (I love it...;-))

Groninger Museum
Iconisch
Het Groninger Museum is een unieke mix van verschillende stijlen en materialen, die samen een iconisch en herkenbaar gebouw vormen in de stad Groningen. Het opvallende gebouw werd ontworpen door de Italiaanse architect Alessandro Mendini, in samenwerking met onder andere de architecten Philippe Starck en Coop Himmelb(l)au.
Paviljoens
Het gebouw heeft een unieke architectuur met 3 aparte paviljoens verbonden door een centraal atrium. Elk paviljoen heeft zijn eigen vorm en materiaalgebruik, waardoor het een kleurrijke en dynamische uitstraling heeft. Het westelijke paviljoen heeft bijvoorbeeld een opvallende gele kleur door de keramische tegels, terwijl het oostelijke paviljoen een meer organische vorm heeft en bekleed is met gepolijst roestvrij staal
The Groninger Museum is an iconic building known for its striking, multi-architectural design, which opened in 1994. The museum's architecture consists of three main pavilions designed by different architects: Alessandro Mendini designed the central, golden-towered part; Philippe Starck designed a silver, cylindrical building; and Coop Himmelb(l)au created a pale blue deconstructivist space.

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.

The albatross at Bempton Cliffs, unique flight pose. The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) is thought to be the only Albatross in the northern hemisphere and is such a wonderful bird to see.

A striking, high-contrast image of zebra succulents (Haworthiopsis attenuata) showcasing their pointed leaves and unique striped patterns in dramatic lighting. This artistic close-up captures the intricate details and bold textures of the succulent, creating an intense and almost surreal effect.
As human beings we might look alike but in fact each one of us is truly one of a kind…each one is unique…this is a spiritual fact that holds true in other realms of existence. ...... EXPLORED...thanks a lot my friends
C'est le seul machaon que j'ai vu cette année et un peu abîmé. L'environnement n'était pas terrible non plus..
This is the only Swallowtail butterfly I saw this year and one of its wings was damaged. The environment wasn't great either.

Panorama Mirador Las Puertas del Cielo (The Gate to Heaven), Ibiza.
This viewpoint (west of Santa Inés) is in an elevated position only higher and more surrounded by clifftops. The vantage point really does give a unique perspective of the shear vastness of the open sea.
The view combined with the silence makes this a unique spot.
In the sixties, hippies used to gather on these rocks to watch the sun disappearing behind the gates of heaven.
Phare, The Cambodian Circus tells uniquely Cambodian tales using modern circus arts and high energy music, touching on themes strong in Cambodian traditions.
We loved this zany show and the performers were quite astonishing. A very different side to Siem Reap but a must-do trip if you ever come to town to see the temples
This has been a tough one for me to research. Not much information out there.
I believe this to be made by Laboratorium Prinsen - Netherlands - ©mid to late 1940's.
