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...

“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.”

Nutmeg. City Bike Set at RLD Event
The Plaza de Espana was originally designed and built as the ultimate symbol and the most ambitious project of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair. The initial idea of holding a World Fair in Seville was promoted in 1909 with the aim of opening the city and, especially, to modernize it. It would be the perfect occasion to achieve civil works, thus improve employment, promote the tourism, enhance the image of Seville and strengthen relationships with American countries.
The Fair was initially going to be inaugurated on April 1st, 1911. It was then delayed to 1914 but World War I (1914-1918) and political issues between Morocco and Spain delayed it further on. It was finally held from May 9th, 1929 to June 21st, 1930.
The works of the Plaza de Espana began in 1914 and where supervised by its creator, the Sevillian architect Aníbal González. He was also the architect chief of the event and designed other buildings such as the Mudejar Pavilion (better known today as the Museo de Artes y Costumbres), the Fine Arts Pavilion (transformed later in the Archaeological Museum) and the Royal Pavilion. All of them can be found in the María Luisa Park, at the America Square (Plaza de América).
It was the most expensive and hard construction of the fair, employing at some point more than 1,000 workers. Obviously, the project went through aesthetical critics and financial difficulties, especially because Seville was in very bad economic shape.
In 1926 Aníbal González resigned from his position and the Plaza de Espana was finished in 1928 by Vicente Taverner, who added the central fountain. It was also the place where Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Fair.

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!

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.

Every ambitious photographer wants to take this picture. But it takes some weather luck and the right technique. And you have to get to New York first. Sony Alpha 7C, Tamron 1:2,8/24mm, ND64 filter, mini-tripod, processed in Adobe Lightroom.
The daily cat photo was a difficult task again today. Cleo thought she had posed enough ýesterday, Sethi fled the scene as soon as he saw the camera, Filou is sick and not really in the mood for photos and Fynn was busy digging a hole between my tomato plants (the ambitious goal is to build a tunnel which is supposed to lead right into the garden of the rabbits). I was almost ready to give up when I found Tofu (or at least one eye of him) but I had the strange feeling that he wasn't super excited to see me and my camera either.
National Trust's Gibson Mill.
Lord Holme Mill — to give it its official title — was erected in the early 1800s by Abraham Gibson, a Heptonstall farmer and cotton spinner, of Greenwood Lee.
Following his death in 1790, it was his son, another Abraham, who set in motion the changes which were to transform the family's cottage industry into a much more ambitious concern; a factory was erected in the heart of Hardcastle Crags and manufacturing began in earnest.
Gibson Mill was one of the first generation mills of the Industrial Revolution. The Mill was driven by a water wheel inside and produced cotton cloth up until 1890. In 1833, 21 workers were employed in the building, each working an average 72 hours per week.
This was one of the most beautiful sunrises of our trip, to the Southwest. The sun was rising from behind, through a dense group of red clouds. The light was magical and sublime, to say the least. The light show lasted a long time, which is the exception, rather than the rule. The fact that it lasted, gave me the opportunity to try this ambitious wide perspective.
This is four horizontal 14mm images, blended in PS.
The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop

The Victoria Memorial is a monument to Queen Victoria, located at the end of The Mall in London by the sculptor Sir Thomas Brock. Designed in 1901, it was unveiled on 16 May 1911, though it was not completed until 1924.
It was the centrepiece of an ambitious urban planning scheme, which included the creation of the Queen’s Gardens to a design by Sir Aston Webb, and the refacing of Buckingham Palace (which stands behind the memorial) by the same architect. (Wikipedia)

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.

Mainz is over 2000 years old and is one of Germany’s oldest cities but not one that is on the radar for most tourists visiting Germany. During the war 80% of the city was leveled but its old town core around the Dom escaped with very little damage.
The Mainzer Dom or St Martin’s cathedral is one of three Kaiserdom’s or imperial cathedrals the others located in Speyer and recently visited Worms. It is located in the old town Marktplatz that has been pedestrianized so makes a great walkabout and an easy visit from one of the underground parking garages scattered around the old town.
The Cathedral was constructed in 975 and was mostly Romanesque in design but now sports quite bit of Baroque ornamentation. Mainz’s Prince Bishop envisioned the city becoming the next Rome and wanted a Cathedral to reflect this ambitious dream, the Prince Bishop Electors also determined who would be the Holy Roman Emperor and ruled their districts in proxy for the Emperor so had a lot of power and influence.
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.

Wheeling 218 is cruising across the former P&WV's Sygan bridge across Millers Run between Morgan and Bridgeville on a beautiful late Summer morning. They left Mingo with the first four engines which constitutes a great set of power on the east end of the railroad but made a stop in Hickory picking up two more engines and some cars. I'd have just as soon they not done that, but I can't complain at all with this power leading. The ambitious P&WV designed a lot of their bridges to be double tracked but in most cases they never were since the growth to justify it never materialized. 8/31/2025
The Brunswick Centre, London, United Kingdom
I got incredibly lucky with this one. I was shooting outside when a very kind resident invited me in for a look around. I managed to take a whole series of photos before security threw me out.
About the building:
The Brunswick Centre began life in the 1970s as architect Patrick Hodgkinson’s ambitious megastructure, but after being handed over to Camden Council, he later described it as having been turned into a “council housing ghetto.” Decades on, in the late 1990s, Hodgkinson was given the chance to revive his original vision for a mixed‑use social housing scheme. Working with Levitt Bernstein, the complex was refurbished, and today the white‑concrete superblock is part shopping centre, part residential community.
We must have been ambitious vacationers on July 1, 1995, as we made this fine photo of BN train No. 629, descending the 1% grade through Lynch Coulee east of Trinidad, Washington at 6:48 a.m.
You can see the uphill right of way on the opposite side of the coulee, a mile or two above "Trinidad Loop". No doubt we were tired of EMD SD40-2 locomotives at the time, as they were on every train we photographed that weekend.

This yacht is called Ambitious and is one of The Clipper Round the World Race fleet. It was out on the Solent this afternoon training crew members.
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.
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.
The name Trabant in German means “satellite” or “companion” and was inspired by the Soviet Sputnik satellite. In the East Germany was en-vogue the communism. Not the real one, but the one replicated in the furniture style, in the broken-down automobiles and inside the shopping bags. (The real socialism has become a capitalism product as anything else). As far as the ruling Communist party was concerned, the Trabi was good enough. They drove decent Soviet Volgas, so they weren’t concerned with what common ppl drove. The engineers, though, they did give a shit and they engineered the steel unibody (with Duroplast body skins) Trabant P50 in secret and were able to get it into production just because they only told the Head Commies about it when it was done.
But to raise the myriad issues with East Germany's people's car is to miss the point, for the importance of the Trabant transcends its worthiness as an automobile. The intense struggle to design and turn out these cars in a country so paranoid to have built a real and ideological wall at its border shows how perseverance and a willingness to think outside the box helped a group of ambitious engineers to overcome enormous hurdles and preserve the right to free thought.

Excerpt from www.blogto.com/city/2024/05/owl-coming-torontos-waterfron...:
A rerouted Don River will soon become the jewel in the crown of Toronto's ambitious Port Lands Flood Protection Project, one that will be lined by several new inviting parks and public spaces featuring some pretty bold designs.
One new park set to open along the river's re-naturalized mouth in 2025 will be home to an enormous two-storey owl-shaped structure that you can venture inside of.
The Snowy Owl installation is just one of a handful of animal-shaped structures that will grace this public space on the north side of the new river valley.
The Snowy Owl will mark the first permanent structure added as part of the Port Lands revitalization when it is installed next year at the western edge of Villiers Island.
While designed as a play structure, the Snowy Owl will be accessible to both kids and adults.
It includes a stage built into its belly, an upper-level viewing area, and is surrounded by seating designed to visually read as the owl's nest. The structure includes features like bells, drums, and talk tubes that will foster impromptu performances in the park.
The owl is just one of many new placemaking features that will draw visitors into the former industrial lands, helping to animate this pocket of the city for an exciting new future.
The owl structure is planned to open in summer 2025.
From the website: :https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/st-davids-bishops-palace#overview
We visited September 2021 on a perfect day.
There was only one top job for an ambitious cleric in medieval Wales: Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire.
A 12th-century pope had decreed that two trips to St Davids were equal to one to Rome – turning it into a centre of pilgrimage for the entire Western world. Thousands flocked to see the shrine of St David in the newly built cathedral.
But the bishop’s home was no match for this magnificence. Enter Henry de Gower. Between 1328 and 1347 he turned a building only fit for ‘servants and animals’ into an immense palace.
The east range was his private domain. The south range was for show and ceremony. It was here in the great hall that Bishop Henry dispensed justice, held feasts and welcomed distinguished pilgrims.
The Reformation marked the beginning of the end. In fact William Barlow, first Protestant Bishop of St Davids, may well have stripped the lead from the roofs himself to spark a slow decline. But even as a ruin this palace beside its glorious cathedral remains an awe-inspiring space.
