Palouse Falls
Washington
Pretty sure I haven't seen this composition of Palouse Falls before! You get an idea of the trail going down to the base by looking at this.
Think of the place where we met (many times) for the first time.
The moment it was time to get off the bus, we had already found each other again.

Þú getur rölt í mjúkum mosa
og dreyma græna drauma
flytja inn í kristalhúsið
að vaxa ungur, að verða blíður
ljósið umlykur líkama okkar
og varpar ímynd okkar á
nætursvarta basaltið
Bráðum munu þeir koma
með einstefnugleraugun
sín sálarlausir sálarfangarar
munu reyna að veiða það
sem ekki er hægt að veiða
þeir munu koma,
af því að það er svo lifandi,
svo lifandi að það gæti talist það
tegund í útrýmingarhættu
Þessi staður er létt barn
hálfgagnsært barn okkar
svarti höfrungurinn minn:
DNA sem þeir geta ekki
samsamað sig með

Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay was a meatpacking plant located at Fray Bentos, Uruguay, on the Uruguay River bank.
In 1924, the Vestey group purchases the old installations of Liebig Extract of Meat Company and the production goes on under a new name.
During its peak period, El Anglo had 5,000 workers whose ranks included English, Belgians, Russians, Spanish and Italians. It finally closed in 1979 after Europe and the United States had cut back their purchases from Latin America. Small brick houses with thick walls running along the river's edge in Fray Bentos form the "Barrio Anglo," a city-within-a-city where meatpacking workers lived that featured a hospital, a school, a social club and a football squad.[1]

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.

Within the shunting yeards of the Coal Enrichment Plant no.1 at Kyzhyl, Karagandy lies a battered old relic. It works, but not to its designed state. Its traction motors are utilised through remote control by overhead wires to move rakes of wagons through the coal unloading bunker. The battered hulking frame and body of this locomotive are enough to carry out this basic function.
We knew it was here but its a good walk into what was forbidden territory to reach it. Today, the mood is good. We have already made a favourable meet with Ochrona so we will go for it, parking up by the big Belaz tippers at the spoil bunker.
There are fitters inside the TE3. Who are we, where are we from. What is our authority to be here? I tell him all I can and we persist in our activity, what, having got this far. Consider the distance home!
Meanwhile a rake of loaded coal wagons are shunting in, right next to us by the TEM2U-8750 and its crew. They just look at us, carrying on with their activities. Surely they are all aware of this relic we are looking at.
The fitter tells me he is calling the Ochrona, where was it I was from?
This is of course inevitable!
I can perhaps finish here.
But why.
I call Sven over, we must leave now. As we walk back down, do NOT panic.. we see a white helmet crossing over a footbridge to greet us.
There will be no avoidance. There cannot be. We must remain calm.
Why are we here, what are we doing?
After a confalb of confusion he says, speak in English, I can understand.
I tell him, here in the UK, the last coal mine shut down three years ago. Steel making is on its knees. The powers do not want it. We have come here to see this.
He stands perplexed, he is maybe in his late 30s. HE swing his arm across, gesturing at this huge facility. " Why? Why would they do that?
This is my everyday, this here, its always here"
With that there is understanding. We are free to go.
Thank you Coal Enrichment Plant no1, I really mean that.
TE3-6793 of Lugansk Locomotive Works , 1967. The locomotive is now converted to a remote controlled electric for the spoil collection at the bunkers of the Coal Enrichment plant no. one of the Quarmet operated Shakhtinsk coal railways, Karagandy. May the 1st 2025.

The Royal Gorge Bridge is a tourist attraction near Cañon City, Colorado within Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, a 360-acre (150 ha) amusement park located along the edge of the Royal Gorge around both ends of the bridge. The bridge crosses the gorge 955 feet (291 m) above the Arkansas River and held the record of highest bridge in the world from 1929 until 2001 when it was surpassed by the Liuguanghe Bridge in China. The Royal Gorge Bridge maintained the title of the world's highest suspension bridge until the Beipan River Guanxing Highway Bridge was completed in 2003, also in China. The bridge remains the highest bridge in the United States and was among the ten highest bridges in the world until 2012.
The main span of the bridge between the towers is 880 feet (268 m), the total length is 1,260 feet (384 m), the width is 18 feet (5.5 m) and the towers are 150 feet (46 m) high. The steel base structure is covered with 1292 wooden planks.
The bridge was built in six months between June and November 1929 at a cost of $350,000 (equivalent to $4.2 million in 2020 dollars). In 1931, the Incline Railway, or simply the Incline (also known as a funicular), was added beside the bridge to reach the bottom of the gorge. In the 1950s, a miniature railroad was built by the edge of the gorge and an aerial tram was opened in 1969. In the early 1980s, the bridge was renovated with new cable anchors, suspension rods and paint. A Skycoaster attraction was added in 2003, with riders being swung out over the edge of the gorge.
In June 2013, a wildfire destroyed most of the park's buildings and the aerial tram, and damaged the Incline. The bridge sustained only slight damage to the wooden deck and was otherwise undamaged, along with the Skycoaster. The park was rebuilt and partially reopened in August 2014. The park had a grand reopening in May 2015 with new gondolas and a new zip-line crossing the gorge on the east side of the bridge. (Wikipedia)

A close look at the Common Emigrant or Lemon Emigrant (catopsilia pomona).
National Trust Properties
Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, HP18 0LH, Buckinghamshire
Waddesdon Manor
Built between 1874 – 1889 in the Neo-renaissance style for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Waddesdon Manor stayed within the family until 1957.
When the last owner died (James de Rothschild), it was passed over to the National Trust, the Manor and its contents and is now managed by the Rothschild Foundation.
Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted a beautiful building and had in mind a chateau familiar with those built in the Loire Valley. He chose the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur to do the work. Destailleur was already familiar with the type of work, as he had overseen many projects, including the Chateau de Mouchy. He also worked for another member of the De Rothschild family, namely Baron Albert de Rothschild on his Palais Rothschild in Vienna.
The wine cellars are interesting in that it contains the best of 15,000 bottles, some over 150 years old and come from the Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Mouton Rothschild estates. It is the largest collection in the world of Rothschild wines, it also has some very important labels created by artists such as Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.
The works of art inside the house of the very best quality, artists such as, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Boucher, Cuyp, Van Dyck, Titan and many others. Sevres ceramics, Beauvais Tapestries, first quality English Silver, carpets, books the list unending.
the French Landscape Gardiner Elie Laine. Extensive levelling of the hill was carried out, the Gardens and parks were laid out and an attempt was made to grow full length trees using chloroform to decrease the shock of moving the trees and planting them, however there are many trees in the parks and gardens that were successfully planted. Trees such as Yews, cedar, redwoods and other conifers, chestnuts, limes and maples are all successfully well bedded in.
During the reign of James de Rothschild the gardens were not the most spectacular however from the 1990’s a more up to date, using computer software for many of the colour combinations and in the gardens are many lovely statues by such sculptors as, Italian Sculptors Giuliano Mozani and Filippo Parodi, French sculptor, Jean Raon, to name but a few.
In my opinion, a great House and Garden to visit, teas and a scone well worth the wait.
Finally there have been many films made there. Here are a few examples:
Never Say Never Again
Carry On “Don’t Lose Your Head”
Ladies in Lavender
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
In 2018 there were approx. 465,000 visitors to the Manor, and was the largest visitor attraction anywhere in all of the National Trust Properties.
The light cast in the Lower Antelope Canyon creates beautiful shadows and colour on the rock surfaces.

This area is beautiful, full of interesting things and lovely views. It will become inaccessable so a visit sooner rather than later. Fairbourne village is not the prettiest, Barmouth which you can see on the photo is a lovely little town.
The calm within the storm is where peace lives and breathes.
It is not within perfect circumstances or a charmed life... it is not conditional.
Peace is a sacred space within, it is the temple of our internal landscape.
We are free to visit it, whenever we seek sanctuary. Underneath the chaos of everyday living, peace is patiently awaiting our discovery... go within.

Feels a bit late for a early season brimstone or is it a very early second brood? Either way, it was very happy to pose of a variety of flowers within the nearby vicinity.
Within The Light
There is something special about these types of early mornings, you are standing watching the sunrise, the light gradually covering more and more of the ground and the mist starts to rise...a beautiful sight to see.
These are the reasons why we drag ourselves out of bed at 4am at this time of year, you cannot beat it.

Out of a misty dream,
our path emerges for a while,
then closes,
Within a Dream.
Ernest Dowson (the Poems and Prose of E. D.)
A bloodline that spans unknown generations that refuses to be forgotten in the whispers of time. A calling that must be heeded by a reluctant participant in the game of fate. What will be unearthed when the veil ceases to hide those secrets any longer?

For the Crazy Tuesday topic "Within a 5 Minutes Walk"
but removed from the group pool as there is a cross on a tombstone ....
The Kirkton of Auchterless is a tiny village in Aberdeenshire, which was built round the church or kirk. So the kirk itself, and the kirkyard that surrounds it is the most interesting place within a 5 minute walk from my home.
The Kirkyard contains the ruins of an older parish church: "Ruined St Drostan's Church retains a birdcage bellcote, a chamfered arch window and bell dated 1644" (Wiki)
The shot I took here is looking through the remaining wall of the old kirk. It takes you back a little way, though the human history of the Auchterless area (much larger than the village) dates back to prehistoric times, with prehistoric remains including stone circles, and the remains of earthen huts. We are just the latest people to walk here!

This inky cap is edible, but only if you don't consume any alcohol for 24 hours before and after eating them. Also called the alcohol inky and tippler's bane, frightening symptoms of nausea and malaise arise within minutes after ingesting these unique mushrooms if you've been drinking or soon will be. Otherwise they're quite tasty!
The grass in our backyard got VERY long so you know what that means...fun for me! I found some awesome morning backlight. Thank goodness I got out there this morning with my camera because my hubby cut it all down a couple hours later! Hope you're all having a great weekend.
Within us all rages a battle no one else sees...a battle between our demons and our better angels. Our destiny is, at all times, guided by victory of one over the other.
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one else
You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Though I do believe in you
Yes I do
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, I can't live within you
(lyrics - Mr David Bowie )
