Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him, and indeed he did, into every battle from the conquest of the Greek city-states and Thebes through the Battle of Gaugamela and into India.
Although historians disagree on the cause of the horse's death - some claim he died from battle wounds - most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River (326 BCE… battle illustrated above).
Alexander founded a city in his beloved horse's memory and named it Bucephala. It is also interesting that Alexander built another city after his favorite dog Peritas.

Echuca, Victoria
The paddle steamer "Alexander Arbuthnot" moored at the Echuca Wharf on the Murray River on a warm summer's day.
This was taken from another paddle steamer, the "Pevensey", on which we did a short tour of the river at Echuca.
The "Alexander Arbuthnot" was originally used to tow barges of red gum logs for Alexander Arbuthnot's sawmill in downstream Koondrook.
Other paddle steamers were used to ship wool in the 19th century wool from sheep stations along the river to the Port of Echuca for transport by train to Melbourne for export and local manufacturing.
Nowadays "AA", as it was called, is used as a tourist boat in the Port of Echuca.

PS. If you look closely at the piles on the wharf you can see where the water level reached during the floods last year that seriously threatened the town of Echuca. The levels are now back to a normal summer level as one local observed but the volume of water flowing through during the spring was extraordinary.
PPS. The flag on the "AA" which is obscured here is the Murray River Flag which was used on paddle steamers and other vessels operating on the Murray and tributaries. More information here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_River_Flag
It's the catamaran 'Alexander'.
A 'First Fleet Class' Sydney ferry.
'Alexander' is rounding Cremorne Point on Sydney harbour for its journey to Mosman Bay.
Photographed from my vantage point on a rocky precipice amid the forest at Cremorne Point Reserve.
In this forest overlooking Sydney harbour I was surrounded by a small army of laughing kookaburras that became quite deafening as the dusk descended. They are extremely noisy birds, notably at dusk and dawn.
To celebate the 'Alexander', a ferry that works day and night - here is Michael Jackson with 'Working Day And Night':

Marble sculpture of the head of Alexander the Great (probably around 300 BC; Archaeological Museum of Pella). In 343 BC, Aristoteles became the tutor of Alexander who was then 12 or 13 years old. His education took place for a couple of years in the school the philosopher had established next to the Nymphaeon of Mieza, a religious sanctuary close to today's town of Naoussa, Macedonia. The subjects were wide: rhetoric, ethics, politics, natural history, medicine and Homer's Iliad. Plutarch, the historian, tells us that Alexander later became increasingly critical of his tutor's social teachings, in particular, his advice to treat Greeks as friends and Non-Greeks as slaves. Instead, Alexander favoured a policy of intercultural rapprochement. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.

Tuesday was my first day back at work and it all went very well. One of my favorite things to do when I first get to work is to fold all the clean towels that the techs who work overnight launder. That morning I carried several loads of clean, but unfolded towels, out to a counter in the treatment area and then started talking to someone. When I returned to the towels, I found Alexander Hamilton had tunneled his way into the middle of the pile and had fallen asleep.

According to ancient tradition the city, like Aspendus, was founded by Mopsus and Calchas in the 13C BC. Nevertheless, Perge did not appear in history until the 4C BC. Because the city was not fortified at the time of Alexander the Great, Perge willingly opened its doors to him. In the Hellenistic period Perge enjoyed rights of minting and considerable freedom under the Pergamene kings. The dominant motif used in art and on coins was Artemis of Perge. Artemis was associated with the Virgin Mary in the Christian period and worshipping her continued. Perge flourished and expanded in the Roman Imperial period during the first three centuries AD.

Stockholm City, December 2011.
After having wanted to photograph a swan all summer, who would´ve thought
that I was going to run into one during christmas.
I met my old bird lady while she was feeding her birds at this little pond which is connected
to the sea. I never thought that I would run into her again, but I did.
I asked her if it was Daniel that she was feeding (she had told me about this swan she called
Daniel before, and I captured them "on the go" so to speak) She looked at me with suprise in
her eyes as I actually remembered his name, and she replied;
- No, this is Alexander, Daniels father. She said in a proud voice.
We talked for a while, and the swan really put on a show for her, allowing me to take some
pictures of this beautiful creature. She was very happy with the fact that the snow and ice havent
arrived yet. The swans use to get stuck in the ice and freeze to death, and I cant even imagine
how hard this sweet little lady would take such a thing.
This is a well maintained trail that lets you walk for quite a while along a narrow ridge with spectacular views, and then descends to the Kaprun valley. Unfortunately this time, we did not do this trail, but I will definitely go back there to do it one day. It starts at an elevation of about 2,400 m (7,874 ft) and descends down to 1750 m (5,741 ft).
If you search the name of the trail, you will most certainly find spectacular photos of the long ridge trail. Unfortunately, I cannot provide such photos myself (yet).
Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) dient heute als Werbeträger für ein Museum in Bernkastel-Kues. In solch einem Auto haben wir früher (vor über 60Jahren) unsere Familienausflüge unternommen.
Keine Gurte, keine Kopfstützen.
Das war noch ein echtes Abenteuer. Mit 40cm langen Lutschern im Mund (aus den Niederlanden) wurde auch schon mal der Rachenraum ramponiert.
Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) serves today as an advertising medium for a museum in Bernkastel-Kues. We used to drive a car like this on our family trips over 60 years ago. No belts, no headrests. That would be a real adventure. With 40cm long lollipops in the mouth (from the Netherlands), the pharynx was often damaged.
Located just before Whistler Olympic Park is Alexander Falls. You don’t to do any hiking for this one. You just park and walk a few feet to a lookout and there’s the falls. I didn’t spend too much time there but I’m sure there’s a trail to the bottom of the falls somewhere. Check it out if you’re in the area.

Die Birnensorte Alexander Lucas (Pyrus communis ‘Alexander Lucas’), auch ‘Lucas Alexander’, wurde erstmals 1874 von der Baumschule Transon in Orléans angebaut und verbreitet, nachdem sie einige Jahre zuvor in einem Wald bei Blois in Frankreich vom namensgebenden Alexandre Lucas entdeckt worden war....
Das hellgelbe bis weißliche Fruchtfleisch ist schmelzend und saftig, aber etwas körnig. Der Geschmack ist süß, mit wenig Säure

Ein Mobileist ein frei hängendes, ausbalanciertes, leichtes Gebilde, das schon von schwachem Luftzug bewegt wird. Der Begriff stammt aus dem Französischen. Die Bezeichnung wurde 1931 von Marcel Duchamp für die Frühwerke von Alexander Calder geprägt.
Das Mobile als Kunstform wurde durch Alexander Calder zur Perfektion gebracht. (Wikipedia)
