Here's the last one in this little series until next time I visit.
One of the most adorable little museums to be found anywhere is the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum. Located in Buckland, MA across the Deerfield River and up the hill from its namesake town, it operates on trackage in the small former Boston and Maine Yard (beside the active Berkshire and Eastern nee Pan Am Freight Main) and preserves the road's large wooden freight house dating from 1867.
But it owes its existence to its pride and joy, Shelburne Falls and Colrain Street Railway trolley No. 10. Built in 1896 by Wasson Manufacturing company in Springfield for the newly constructed seven mile long rural trolley line connecting its namesake towns. The little line lasted only 30 years and upon its abandonment in 1927 little number 10 was sold to a local farmer who used it as a shed and chicken coop for 65 years. In 1992 his son donated the shell back to the newly formed museum and seven years later she was back in operation.
Here is a view looking west at number 10 running under the wire on about 1000 ft of track in the old rail yard.
If you ever find yourself in Shelburne Falls (and you really should because it's just lovely) stop by the museum and take a little ride yourself. To learn more check out their website here: www.sftm.org/index.shtml
Oh, and I'd be remiss if I wrapped this up without a mention about Shelburne's most famous attraction, The Bridge of Flowers. It is truly a must see and if you're ever traveling west on Route 2 make the short detour into town, it is truly worth it. If you've never heard of it check out this: newengland.com/today/travel/massachusetts/berkshires/brid...
Oh, and as for that bridge, little old number 10 ran over it for the 19 years it was in service providing the Shelburne Falls and Colraine Street Railway a direct freight connection to the Boston and Maine and New Haven (which came to town too until abandoning their route up through Conway in 1923). Between the museum and the bridge this tiny little otherwise unremarkable street railway has left an indelible impact on the community far outlasting its utility as a mere means of transportation.

Common Nighthawk, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 13, 2019.
Found by William Doelman, enjoyed by many.
Chordeiles minor
The Common Nighthawk’s impressive booming sounds during courtship dives, in combination with its erratic, bat-like flight, have earned it the colloquial name of “bullbat.” The name “nighthawk” itself is a bit of a misnomer, since the bird is neither strictly nocturnal—it’s active at dawn and dusk—nor closely related to hawks.
Early in the morning, unfortunately we didn't find any of this nice species in rest mode.
Later in the morning we did find some which were already very active.
Then, the extra mm's are very handy to capture them when they are active and shyer.
Handheld shot.
Like any good tourist, I had to take a picture of this historic monument. It's not anything too brilliant, or magnificent, but it is a quaint, even respectable landmark to commemorate Active World's narrative of when the world was born, and who was its first citizen. There's a bit more that would be interesting to know, such as who this first citizen was in the real world, and what their relation to Active Worlds was. Was this Cy person part of the team that created Active Worlds, or is this the first unique individual that signed up to become a citizen? A lot of questions, just from one statue and its simple homage.
Note: I have come to consider places like Worlds and Active Worlds as being open virtual worlds. These were the pioneers of virtual spaces on the internet, and among the first to quote Snow Crash, even begin to coin 'metaverse' and web3.0 in trying to explain what they are. Therefore, any group that, in a general sense, speaks of themselves as an open world, open life, virtual world, web3.0, or hypergrid, seems appropriate appropriate groups to add them to. After all, these virtual worlds were very much ahead of the game and developed a lot of the aspects that make up our virtual world experiences even to this day. Not only did they have teleportation to different regions, but to different servers, even without utilizing a hypergate, but simply by teleporting to that server, as long as you had that server's coordinates. If you don't agree with this definition, let me know, and I won't post these in your group.

Across the way from the drive in is the downtown area of the tutorial/welcome area. It's ok, for a prop, but not much there to explore. but this city scape with the airplane taking off overhead looks pretty cool.

Cloud moving up the Lowther Valley from the South in a very dynamic air flow,
Lowther Castle far right. Late afternoon on a cold December with light fading. Taken from Beacon Edge above Penrith.
N.B. The three large stands of trees on the skyline are known locally as The Regiments.
I've watched the sun go down many times on this route, but this one was special providing terrific reflections in the water.
Taken from the upper car deck on the ferry.

Excerpt from edmontonjournal.com:
The murals highlight active wildlife in and around the Don Valley and transform the underpass into an inviting, dynamic and more accessible place to pass through and visit.
"These murals not only add colour and vibrancy to our City streets but are a welcome reminder of the outstanding natural environment surrounding this neighbourhood, which has recently completed an avenue planning study to guide all future development," said Councillor Mary Fragedakis (Ward 29 Toronto Danforth). "All shortlisted artists in the competition were directed to this study when considering their final design concepts."
Created by artist Drew Mosley, the murals remind everyone to treat surrounding wildlife with dignity and respect by giving residents the opportunity to engage with their environment more closely. Mosley's mural aims to fulfill the same goal by depicting only plant and animal life native to the area. His illustrative, character-based works depict the creatures of Mosley's imagined world, in which they appear frozen and in mid-mission. With the artist's use of three-dimensional views and deep shadows, a convincing atmosphere is evoked within this fantastical world.

Anonimo artista tedesco, attivo nella Germania meridionale e probabilmente formatosi nel Reno superiore. È così chiamato da un libro illustrato con disegni a penna, posteriore al 1476, che contiene, tra le altre, scene di vita quotidiana al castello di Wolfegg. Le sue copie a stampa sono oggi per gran parte conservate al Gabinetto dei disegni del Rijksmuseum di Amsterdam, da cui deriva l'altro nome con cui è conosciuto: Maestro del Gabinetto di Amsterdam.
