I'm sure this sign was there to welcome photographers onto the property.
I won't have access to Flickr for a few days, so I will try to catch up when I return.
I made a last minute decision to pop into Travis Wetlands hoping for some Warou / Swallow action. I was not disappointed. I took a ton of photos. Here is one of my favourites.
Taken out in a Texas field of bluebonnets near my home town of Waxahachie! It was so beautiful bluebonnets as far as the eye could see!
In June we visited friends, who live in Łódź and we went for a walk around the city with them. On the photo you can see the place called Monopolis :)
Former Vodka Monopoly Plant, which was established at the end of the 19th century, transformed now into an office, entertainment and cultural center called Monopolis. Today, Monopolis combines various areas of activity in an unusual way. Guests will easily find restaurants with Italian, Japanese or Mediterranean cuisine or cafes with freshly baked bread, best quality desserts and aromatic coffee. For theater and art lovers, Monopolis offers to admire unique paintings, sculptures, photographs or posters.
Łódź is the third largest city in Poland and a former industrial centre. Located in the central part of the country, it is the capital of Łódź Voivodeship. Łódź was once a small settlement that first appeared in 14th-century records. It was granted town rights in 1423 by Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło and it remained a private town of the Kuyavian bishops and clergy until the late 18th century. The Second Industrial Revolution brought rapid growth in textile manufacturing and in population owing to the inflow of migrants, notably Germans and Jews. Following the end of the Second World War, Łódź informally and temporarily took over the functions of Poland's capital, and most of the government and country administration resided in the city prior to Warsaw's reconstruction. On 8 March 1948, the National Film School was opened, later becoming Poland's primary academy of drama and cinema.

W czerwcu wybraliśmy sieęz wizytą do znajomych mieszkających w Łodzi i razem z nimi zwiedzaliśmy miasto. Na zdjęciu - Monopolis :)
Byłe Zakłady Monopolu Wódczanego, które powstały pod koniec XIX wieku, przekształcone obecnie na centrum biurowo-rozrywkowo-kulturalne nazwane Monopolis. Obecnie Monopolis w niezwykły sposób łączy różne obszary działania. Goście z łatwością znajdą restauracje z kuchnią włoską, japońską czy śródziemnomorską albo kawiarnie ze świeżo wypiekanym pieczywem, najlepszą jakością deserami i aromatyczną kawą. A dla miłośników teatru i sztuki Monopolis proponuje podziwiać unikatowe obrazy, rzeźby, fotografie czy plakaty.
Łódź – trzecie miasto w Polsce pod względem liczby ludności (po Warszawie i Krakowie). Miejscowość ma metrykę średniowieczną. Łódź początkowo była małą wsią leżącą w granicach historycznej ziemi łęczyckiej, którą władali książęta łęczyccy. Do końca XVII w. Łódź rozwijała się jako małe miasteczko rolnicze, będące własnością biskupstwa włocławskiego. W 1820 rząd Królestwa Polskiego włączył Łódź do grona osad przemysłowych w kalisko-mazowieckim okręgu przemysłowym i przeznaczył jej rolę ośrodka tkackiego i sukienniczego. Industrializacja oparta była przede wszystkim na napływających do miasta rzemieślnikach różnych specjalności włókienniczych, którzy zachęcani byli licznymi przywilejami. Gwałtowny rozwój Łodzi przeobraził ją w ciągu kilkudziesięciu lat z małej mieściny w przemysłową metropolię liczącą 500 tys. mieszkańców w 1914 r. W 1945 powstała w Łodzi Wytwórnia Filmów Fabularnych, która wkrótce stała się największym ośrodkiem produkcji filmowej w Polsce.
I've finally, FINALLY finished building my silly little town in Second Life. It goes by the name of Quirk, and it certainly does live up to that name! I'm still trying to work out if I'm proud of it or ashamed of it, because of its oddball weirdness, but at least I can say with certainty that it's done. Well, I'm kind of certain it's done, anyway. Mostly. Maybe. Meh. I don't know anymore. I think I might have melted my brain, working on it. lol
Anyway, if anyone wants to go there for a visit, to look around or take photos or pass out drunk on the furniture or to see how weird I am as a creator of things in SL or just to scoff all the cakes in the café while playing games in the games room, you're welcome to stop by anytime!
Be sure to look at all the little things when you stop by the town. The fine print is often the funniest, I think.
UPDATE: Quirk is now closed. Sorry about that. It had a limited run.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
The Reading and Lehigh Valley units bring an empty coal train bound for the BNSF through the 21st St. lift bridge at sunrise. 7/14/12
A westbound stack train rolls over the Rainy River into Minnesota from Ontario at Baudette. The end of the train is still over in Rainy River, Ontario. The gas track on the left is the only resemblance of local service along the 44-mile American portion of the CN Sprague Subdivision, and nothing exists in the other American communities west of Baudette, only passing sidings at Graceton (Pitt), Blueberry, and Swift. There are also only a few remaining sections of code line aligning the tracks, such as this portion extending from Baudette westwards to a point only a few miles away.

Disclaimer:
I by no means approve of the scratching of this symbol or any ideas behind it. I used it here as a comment on the Swedish society. In the background a new house is being built, a very common site as the country is growing. Here's the catch though, there are more Swedes leaving the country than the balance from births vs deaths. Only through immigration and marriages with other citizens is the population growing.
. . . This stuffed Grey Fox is one of the many greeters at at the Grass River Nature Center, located just south of Bellaire, MI. on Alden Highway. The Center has a good collection of Birds and Mammals to examine closeup in their classroom. It's worth a stop!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins!
This is the start of my LEGO Lord of the Rings series.
After the chase with the Black Riders Frodo reaches Rivendell, House of Elrond. He finds healing in the elven town and when he wakes up Gandalf is by his side.
One year ago Thorsten alias Xenomurphy reached out to me with a very special collaboration: Building the epic journey of The Lord of the Rings. Of course I agreed and after 13 extraordinary scenes by Thorsten I continue with scene number 14.
I'm excited to show you all the vignettes I built over the last months and relive the most iconic scenes from the first movie together with you! New scene every Monday & Thursday.
We are building a LEGO Lord of the Rings vignette series:
◾Book 1: Xenomurphy
◾Book 2: Jonas Kramm
◾Book 3: Jonas Kramm
◾Book 4: Marcel V.
◾Book 5: ForlornEmpire
◾Book 6: Grant Davis
