Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

There is a whole variety of believers. Whosoever comes to these desolate mountains couldn't be exactly ambitious, at least not over worldly matters, and one can be sure life is hard here.

PS
Sanyu was nicknamed the Modigliani/ Matisse of the East. He came from a wealthy family having been taught Chinese poetry and ink painting by one of the Emporer's scholarly advisors in his youth. He studied arts in Japan for a couple of years before turning to Paris in his early 20's. Instead of attending any of the academies there, he chose to hang around saloons. He extended many of the aesthetic formalities of both of the East and the West, since he painted only from his heart and soul. He blended the styles from both the West and the East very uniquely, in subjects, materials or treatments. Other than expressionist exaggerations , he is also a great master of minimalism, keen to capture the very essence of the substances with a few symbolic strokes. His paintings are well received both in the East and the West. For a long time, his paintings are fetching a very high price. He is the only Chinese painter who had essentially integrated into or even pioneered Western painting albeit with things which could be traced back to his background. In his later years, having squandered all his money away, he became extremely poor...

The Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway was opened on 23 December 1978.
The initiators were ambitious: at over 6 kilometres long, the Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway would be the longest gondola cableway in the world – and indeed has remained so to this day.
Photographing in the woods is always something special for me. Not only that I love to be in the forest, it's the creativ process what is drawing me here again and again. Photographing in the forest is quite ambitious. To find a system inside of this chaos is like searching for the needle in a haystack. So it’s even more delightful when I'm succeeding (what is not hapening every time) and I'm able to create a photograph what is meeting the grade of harmony of a place like this.
Fotografieren im Wald ist für mich immer etwas ganz besonderes. Nicht nur, dass ich es liebe im Wald zu sein, es ist auch der kreative Prozeß, der mich immer wieder dort hin zieht. Fotografieren im Wald empfinde ich als sehr anspruchsvoll. Ein System in diesem Chaos zu finden ist wie die Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen. Um so mehr freue mich mich, wenn es mir gelingt (das passiert nicht jedesmal) und ich ein Bild schaffen kann, was der Harmonie dieses Ortes gerecht wird.

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

“They tried to stop her, but they failed miserably. They overlooked her, tried to discourage her, and sabotage her, but she persevered through it all with her head held high. They talked behind her back and plotted against her, but they didn’t realize that they were messing with an unstoppable, resilient Black Queen. She’s ambitious, intelligent, self-confident, and bold. She’s a Phenomenal Black Queen that didn’t have to compromise her integrity to get ahead. She’s genuinely happy, successful, and free to be herself. She can, she does, she wins!”

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

Among the arrogant and the overbearing, the ambitious who are in a hurry, the cunning who wait at the gate, there are us a little fragile and a little wounded who enchant ourselves to look at the soap bubbles.
That tree that everyone takes a photo of... lots of people about, so I had to bide my time.. decide the youngster in shot helped for scale.

I traveled Canada extensively in the early 1990s before the shortline movement from the US spilled over to north of the border. So in the later years of the decade it was fun to go back and shoot some of the former CN and CP lines with new operators
In 1997 shortline holding company OmniTrax made a splash into Canada by operating some former CN track in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These were fairly large operations that included the over 600 mile long line to Hudson Bay, and a 100 mile line from near Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Making things interesting was the fact they acquired 20 CN MLW M420Ws and the six BRC C-424s. In addition a former INCO RS11 and three BCR M420 B-units along with some interesting EMD Geeps. They also announced some nice paint schemes along with logos based on local interests.
But like most things OmniTRAX this was too ambitious. Not much happened in the way of paint. And most of the ALCos and MLWs quickly fell into disrepair.
I did manage one chase on the Carlton Trail of their daily Prince Albert to Saskatoon freight on the Warman Sub. Here a former CN M420W leads a BC Rail M420B and an ex-Southern Pacific GP9.
Ludwig Erhard Haus
Berlin
Architect: Sir Nicholas Grimshaw
"There are many places in Berlin, which are almost unknown, because the average tourist won't visit them.
Most of them are symbols of the ambitious construction programs initiated by the government of the reunified Germany in order to give to the city a new distinctive character and to launch Berlin into the third millennium.
The Ludwig Erhard Haus is a unusual and futuristic building located in the borough of Charlottenburg, just a few meters from the famous Zoolisches Garden and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.
It was designed by the English architect Nicholas Grimshaw in 1994.
Fifteen tremendous arches create the building’s signature ribbed structure that adapts to the slight curve in the irregular property at its base.
The Ludwid Erhard Haus was designed as a service center for the Chamber of Commerce and the Berlin Stock Exchange and it hosts many public and private offices as well as fairs, conferences and forums
Today, a vertical facade on the side of the building facing the Fasanen Strasse hides the actual round form of the structure. Due to his external structure, Berliners call the building "armadillo"."
In April 2014, the new City Hall Kristallen in Lund was inaugurated with a ceremony for the 500 employees who then moved in in May. The crystal houses several of the municipality's administrations with its total of 500 workplaces on approximately 11,000 square meters of office space. The building has an ambitious environmental profile with environmentally friendly materials and an advanced energy concept. Creative solutions allow the surface to be utilized in an efficient and flexible way.
Senab acted as interior supplier and in close cooperation with the architect and customer we delivered furniture according to the wishes of Lund municipality. Through their choice of furniture, colors, materials and lighting, they strived to create a welcoming municipal hall and a pleasant environment for both employees and visitors. "One should be proud to work in the Crystal and be happy to visit the Crystal."
Senab Interior supplied office furniture, conference room and restaurant furniture as well as furniture for public areas. This is the single largest project that the Senab Syd business area has delivered. In addition to the furniture delivery itself, Senab also handled logistics and assembly.

Plague Column, Vienna
The Holy Trinity column is located on the Graben, a street in the inner city of Vienna, Austria. Erected after the Great Plague epidemic in 1679, the Baroque memorial is one of the city's best-known and most prominent sculptural artworks. Christine M. Boeckl, author of Images of Plague and Pestilence, calls it "one of the most ambitious and innovative sculptural ensembles created anywhere in Europe in the post-Bernini era."
Southwark Bridge is an arch bridge for traffic linking Southwark and the City across the River Thames in London. It was designed by Ernest George and Basil Mott. It was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. and opened in 1921. The bridge is owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London.
The original Southwark Bridge:
What we see today is the second Southwark Bridge. The first opened in 1819 to relieve pressure on the nearby Blackfriars and London Bridges. Unlike its sister spans which were owned by the City of London, the new crossing was privately built by the Southwark Bridge Company. Their big dream was not to aid cross-river traffic, but to make wads of cash through tolls.
John Rennie’s elegant and ambitious cast-iron bridge was built between 1815 and 1819. The railway and civil engineer Robert Stephenson considered it unrivalled in its colossal proportions, architectural effect, general simplicity, and massive character of its details.
The three-span iron bridge the width of the Thames was a significant engineering achievement and much admired. Perhaps not as graceful as his design for Waterloo Bridge, it was nevertheless an engineering miracle of its time. The final cost, however, was £700,000, £200,000 over budget. The company was unable to afford a lavish ceremony, although the bridge was brilliantly illuminated by 30 oil lamps for the opening when the clock of St. Paul’s Cathedral struck midnight.
Southwark Bridge was not a financial success, and did not relieve London’s traffic congestion. It was not located on a through-route, was too close to the toll-free Blackfriars and London bridges, and its approaches were too steep for horse-drawn carriages. Traffic was lower than expected, especially after the opening of the new London Bridge in 1831.

1937 Packard, Custom coachbuilt by Rollston
Rollston Company
Harry Lonschein (1886-1977), an ambitious 16-year-old Romanian immigrant, found employment at Brewster & Co, one of the country’s oldest carriage makers in 1903. At that time Brewster was making the transition from one of the country’s oldest carriage makers to one of its first automobile body builders. In addition to building their own Knight sleeve-valve-engined car starting in 1915, Brewster was the NY agent for Delaunay-Belleville and later Rolls-Royce. During his employment there, Lonschein gained a lot of experience building high class enclosed bodies on the world’s finest chassis. At about the same time that Rolls-Royce opened their Springfield, Massachusetts assembly plant in 1921, Harry, along with a couple of partners, Sam Blotkin and Julius Veghso (1874-1964) formed the Rollston Company and moved into a building located on West 47th Street. They paid homage to their favorite chassis by naming the firm after it, and set out make the highest quality bodies possible. Veghso, a graduate of Andrew F. Johnson’s carriage drafting course, and a very experienced coachbuilder had founded the Perfect Body Co., an early coachbuilder who built bodies for Singer and other luxury chassis. Lonschein served as president, Blotkin, its secretary-treasurer, and Veghso the firm’s designer, draftsman and general superintendent of the factory.
Rollston’s bodies were acknowledged as the strongest of the classic-era and like the work of their favorite chassis, were over-engineered in the finest carriage-building tradition, using only the finest materials and castings. Their fine work attracted the attention of Grover C. Parvis, the Custom Body Manager of Packard's New York dealership.
Packard would become their best customer, and over the next 20 years, the vast majority of the 700 bodies built by the firm would appear on Packard chassis.

Royal Botanical Gardens developed as a concept in the 1920s under the City of Hamilton Board of Park Management, led by Thomas McQuesten. Initially the proposed botanical garden was to be located along the south shore of Cootes Paradise Marsh surrounding the Hamilton campus of McMaster University. The proposed botanical garden would also protect extensive natural areas along the marsh.
Formal permission was obtained in 1930 from King George V to call the gardens the "Royal Botanical Gardens". At the same time as the proposal for the botanical gardens was under consideration, the City of Hamilton was undertaking an ambitious program of beautification on the nearby Burlington Heights. The North-Western Entrance to Hamilton project included an extensive set of gardens designed by the Toronto firm of Wilson, Bunnell and Borgstrom. Among these was the Rock Garden created by lining a 5.5 acre abandoned gravel pit with limestone from the Niagara Escarpment. In 1932 the Board of Park Management brought together the Burlington Heights gardens and the south shore of Cootes Paradise as Royal Botanical Gardens.
The Italian planners had in mind the ambitious example of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had resettled thousands of Appalachian families. An American sociologist, Friedrich Friedmann, led a team of researchers—including a historian, a doctor, a geographer, and a psychologist—who assessed conditions in the Sassi. After architects devised several potential resettlement schemes, Friedmann’s team asked the peasants which design they thought was best.
In the new rural development of La Martella, four miles west of the Sassi, the architect Ludovico Quaroni attempted to re-create the open-air vicinati that the Materans had used as their plazas and drawing rooms. Each resettled family was given a house with an adjoining barn for animals; the bedroom windows looked out on the stables, so that residents could keep an eye on the beasts at night, as they had in the Sassi. The first families were moved to La Martella in 1954. The Giornale del Mezzogiorno declared that Materans had travelled “from the darkness of the Sassi to cottages in the green countryside!” Italian newspapers continued to support the cause, and the government began encouraging residents whose caves had originally been thought salvageable to move.
This serene lake has a story to tell. I’ve been here before, but my last visit was a race against time—just an hour between moonset and sunrise to capture a quick panorama.
This time, I aimed for something more ambitious: a larger panorama showcasing the lake's beauty. Unfortunately, the session was cut short by some unexpected late-night chaos (think burning rubber, booze, and dodgy behavior). Not exactly the vibes you'd hope for in a quiet spot like this. 😅
The Drakesbrook Weir plays a vital role in the area, collecting overflow from Waroona Dam for farmers to use for livestock and crops. By day, it’s a popular picnic and swimming spot, but at night, it’s usually still and empty—well, most of the time.
This 12-panel panorama (crafted from 36 images, 24 of them stacked) captures the lake’s reflections as the summer Milky Way rises above. High clouds and city light pollution softened the northern sky, but the magic of the view still shines through. ✨

Described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset", the present Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th century.
Recent excavations in the chancel, together with others in the 19th Century in the nave, revealed early foundations. These indicate a large central tower that possibly dated from C.950.
At the beginning of the 15th Century the church had suffered some catastrophe such as the collapse of the central tower. A great deal of re-roofing and repair was done in 1404, and all through the century rebuilding and refurnishing went on. Sometime during this century further damage was caused by the collapse of several pinnacles, whether from the old or new tower is uncertain, and the nave roof had to be practically rebuilt. The west tower is first mentioned in 1484. By the end of the century the church had assumed the appearance which it has today.
The tower rises to a height of 134½ feet, and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.
By contrast:
Glastonbury a little market town with a population of 8,000 become, what is considered to be, the Pagan centre of England? Glastonbury’s fame is twofold. Firstly, it’s known as the Pagan equivalent of Mecca, somewhat popular with not only British Pagan visitors, but also with members from esoteric communities from all over the world. The town regularly sees groups of Spanish and Mexican Witches, Druids from New Zealand and Italy, Heathens from Germany and Russia, and all manner of Pagans from the States and Canada.
