Nebkota Railway eastbound freight passes through town behind F9, FP7 (54-55.) Sadly, the railroad is gone; a tour in my Google Subaru (not the one on the left) reveals that although this downtown strip still exists, most of these storefronts appear to be blank ones...except for what appears to be stored plywood or other remains of a previous business concern. The main street here - 25 years ago - looks like commerce is happening and people are out and about; the angle parking that Jeff admires seems to be in use. When I lived in Alliance (about 80 miles southwest of this town), there was a big argument over angle vs. parallel parking when they renewed downtown's main street. Now I don't think either city has anything to worry about as in my last visit to Alliance there were a lot of empty storefronts as well. Such is the trend for the once vaunted small town America. And in Alliance I could blame the one or two big box stores at the west end of town (there was no WalMart as I recall), but here it's a long drive to any of that. The population numbers show a shrinking number of people over the last few years. For those who want to "get away from it all", this would be a good place! But there are some good things going on; a look at a couple ranches where the owners are trying to preserve the prairie, and make a living on it, is a testament to the resilient character of those who keep it happening Out Here.
I forgot it was Extraterrestrial Abductions Day.
There seems to be an argument on who abducts who. The astronauts say they get to abduct the aliens. The aliens are positive it means the astronauts are the ones who get abducted.

Northern Flicker ( Red-shafted Flicker) These two males were having a argument. The one on the right took a poke at the chest of the one on the left and almost fell off of its perch. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. It is the only woodpecker that commonly feeds on the ground. There are over 100 common names for the Northern Flicker. Among them are: Yellowhammer, clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket, heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird. Many of these names are attempts at imitating some of its calls.

It must be breeding season or something. These birds always stay really high up, so not the easiest to catch without the zoom but you will get the idea here.
I am home now but I still have many photos to sort from my time in Emmaville.
A subcomissão criada no Senado para acompanhar os preparativos para a Copa do Mundo não está só preocupada com o andamento das obras até o evento, mas também com o que pode acontecer com elas depois. Neste Argumento, Ângela Brandão entrevista o vice-presidente da subcomissão, senador Zezé Perella.

As far as I could tell, the storyline here was an argument over who was going to fetch breakfast, and who was going to babysit the two chicks. Mom won and dad went out to hunt shortly after this photo. Please see the 4 shots ahead of this. Now I know where the saying, "don't get your feathers ruffled!" comes from. These guys were definitely ruffled! Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Delray Beach, Florida

Created for Saturday Self-Challenge ~ Your interpretation of Nature
With this challenge, I was finally able to pay a tribute to Kataza, a young adult baboon, who was at the centre of a controversial argument between those of us who love to have these wild animals roaming free in our area, and so called "Wildlife Officials" who continue to mess around with Nature. Kataza was removed from his troop in the hills in my picture, and "planted" him in a troop much closer to Cape Town. There was an outcry as this poor young guy struggled to be accepted by the troops in the new area, and it was only when it appeared that he was about to be killed by the new troop that he was moved back to his existing family.
That wasn't good enough for the "officials", however, and our celebrations were cut short about two weeks later, when "they" decided to move him to a wildlife sanctuary, some 2000 km to the north. We are told that he has finally settled down after months of torment, but I can only imagine him sitting in the hot bushveld, and dreaming of the days when he was free to roam the windswept hills of the southern Cape Peninsula.
I took the picture of the hills this morning, and added a painterly texture in Photoshop, and then added my picture of Kataza, taken just before he was taken away.
Vincent van Gogh (1853- 1890) Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear 1889 Oil paint on canwvas
This famous self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh expresses his artistic power and personal struggles
Van Gogh painted it in January 1889, a week after leaving hospital. He had received treatment there after cutting off most of his left ear (shown here as the bandaged right ear because he painted himself in a mirror). This self-mutilation was a desperate act committed a few weeks earlier, following a heated argument with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin.
Van Gogh's fur cap secures his thick bandage and wards off the winter cold. Created in harsh conditions, this self-portrait demonstrates Van Gogh's determination to continue painting, reinforced by the objects behind him: a canvas on an easel and a Japanese print, an important source of inspiration. Above all, it is Van Gogh's brushwork and powerful handling of colour that declare his renewed ambition as a painter.
Tree Swallow; Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight.
It is the only explanation I can come up with for this garden design. An angry couple must sit with backs to each other and eyes averted from beauty... until they learn better and can walk the path to each other again.
It's a thought.
Cuando joven me asombraba enormemente la forma del piñón. Esto era principalmente por su entrelazado de armonía, por su perfecta simetría, por su natural sabiduría.
Ahora en la adultez este fruto sigue llamando mi atención, pero a los argumentos anteriores se le suman otros dos: su fragante olor y su maduro color.
En mi vejez espero que el piñón me siga deslumbrando. Quizás lo haga por conducirme a mi niñez de plenitud o por ser un atisbo de infinitud... ¡Quién sabe!
Franz Fuchs verübte Serien von Briefbombenattentaten sowie Rohrbombenanschläge. Während er selbst sich auf die Organisation Bajuwarische Befreiungsarmee BBA berief und auch sein Verteidiger argumentierte, daß Fuchs kein Einzeltäter sei, sondern als Mitglied der BBA handelte und somit "nur" Beitragstäter sei, machte der Staatsanwalt mit dem im Bild zitierten Satz klar, daß die BBA keine Organisation mehrerer Personen ist, sondern einzig und alleine aus Franz Fuchs selber besteht....
Franz Fuchs wurde verurteilt zu lebenslanger Haft in einer Anstalt für geistig abnorme Rechtsbrecher.
Um die lockeren Schrauben des Franz Fuchs geht es hier jedoch nicht und auch nicht um den Franz Fuchs im Fuchsbau, sondern um den zitierten Satz des Johannes Winklhofer geht es hier.
"Franz Fuchs is the BBA, the BBA is Franz Fuchs", said the prosecutor about the terrorist Franz Fuchs (series of attacks with letter bombs and pipe bombs), who claimed to be part of an organisation he called "Bajuwarische Befreiungsarmee" (Bajuvarian Liberation Army - BBA)
The prosecutor expressed with this sentence, that the BBA is not an organization of many people, that it only consists of one person, namely Franz Fuchs and that Franz Fuchs is a single perpetrator and not an abettor, as he himself and his lawyer claimed.
I use this sentence as an example.
Comparing the two sentences "weaving is living and living is weaving" and "Franz Fuchs is the BBA, the BBA is Franz Fuchs" it is clear that the first sentence means that when one is not weaving he/she is not living.

For months, the world has watched and listened to arguments and discussions about what the course of action should be in the Middle East by the rest of the world. The thoughts are complex and very complicated
Wadi Rum, ironically, was the site of Lawrence of Arabia's war and the backdrop for one of the greatest films ever made. Now, scenes like this exist, with tents being used by tourists visiting the quiet solitary sand dunes to see the sweeping views. This is a "must do" if you visit Jordan.
...we thought, surrounded by so much fleeting beauty. We were on Crickley Hill, near where we live, and happened to be there when there was this amazing cloud inversion. Took loads of shots, the others can be found in our Cheltenham album.

There be dragons! Seen on River Wey near to Godalming. The light was just right. The argument is whether it is more like a dragon or a Viking Long Ship. I think a dragon because the trees look like the dragons wings, hence why I did the crop as it is to keep the reflections.
Imagen (Con cierta licencia personal) capturada en La Caleta, que es una playa situada en el centro histórico de la ciudad de Cádiz. Este lugar fue en su dia un puerto natural en el que fondearon barcos fenicios, cartagineses y romanos...hoy en dia es lugar de recreo y encuentro para la población y los visitantes de la ciudad. Esta playa tiene una longitud de 450 metros de arena fina y dorada, con un paseo marítimo y todo el centro urbano e histórico a su espalda .
Es la playa de menor extensión de toda la ciudad y está aislada del resto. Su principal atractivo radica en su ubicación. Destaca en ella el edificio de Balneario de Nuestra Señora de la Palma y del Real, construido en la década de los veinte, se caracteriza por su construcción sobre la playa y por sus largas galerías laterales que parecen abrazar el mar. Fue inaugurado en 1926 y sustituía a los tradicionales Baños del Real, instalación de madera que existía ya a comienzos del siglo XIX, junto a los que también se situaban los de la Palma, de estructura similar, que posteriormente fueron unificados bajo la denominación del Real y de la Palma.
El edificio se trata de una construcción en hormigón armado que cuenta con dos núcleos bien diferenciados:
El pabellón de acceso, levantado sobre la muralla.
El balneario propiamente dicho, construido sobre pilares en la misma playa.
Consta de una zona central flanqueada por torres rematadas por cúpulas bulbosas, desde la que parten dos alas curvas, en cuyos extremos se abren pabellones cubiertos por cúpulas. En todo el conjunto es evidente la influencia modernista, aunque también es evidente el historicismo oriental, típico de los balnearios ingleses. Presenta escasos elementos decorativos, destacando el panel de azulejos que representan a la Virgen de la Palma, pintados por Juan Ruiz de Luna.
Entrando en su história, su uso como balneario fue abriéndose a otros fines en función del progresivo abandono de la utilización de este tipo de instalaciones. Entre 1936 y 1943 alojó una Escuela de Flechas Navales. También sirvió como sala de proyecciones.
En 1958 la Diputación Provincial transfirió la titularidad del Balneario de la Palma a un empresario, José Paredes González de la Torre, que a partir de entonces lo dedicó tanto a actividades relacionadas con el baño como a su explotación como local para la celebración de banquetes, fiestas, etc.
En 1975 se elabora un proyecto para modernizar las instalaciones y adaptarlo mejor a sus usos de hostelería. El principal objeto del proyecto era la potenciación del uso del edifcio con independencia de las actividades playeras, en la planta principal, para lo que se proyectó una remodelación de los salones que permitiera grandes banquetes, congresos, exposiciones, actividades culturales, espectáculos, etc. Este proyecto, finalmente, no se llevó a cabo por no contar finalmente con las autorizaciones necesarias.El progresivo deterioro de la estructura del inmueble debido a la baja calidad del hormigón llevó a su abandono en 1975, quedando el Balneario en gran parte derruido con la consecuente aceleración de su degradación.
Tal situación desató la polémica en torno a la conveniencia de recuperarlo o derribarlo definitivamente, asunto que quedó zanjado con la declaración como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) en el año 1990 por la Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía. Iniciados los trámites para su rehabilitación se barajaron varias posibilidades en cuento a su destino final. A modo de ejemplo, se estudió la posibilidad de construir una piscina cubierta. Esta propuesta novedosa entonces en Cádiz, era en cierta forma una restauración también del uso del Balneario y su rentabilidad estaba asegurada como se comprobó por estudios económicos que se realizaron. Se desconoce si el rechazo municipal al proyecto se debió a causas políticas o a argumentos consistentes. El destino del edificio volvió a quedar en suspenso una buena temporada, y la Consejería optó por la ejecución de obras de emergencia, apuntalamiento y consolidaciones puntuales a la espera de una definición del proyecto. Finalmente se decidió un uso administrativo, convirtiéndose desde entonces en sede del Centro de Arqueología Subacuática del Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico.
La playa de La Caleta con su singular y bello balneario ha sido un escenario que inspiró a músicos y poetas como Isaac Albéniz, José María Pemán, Paco Alba o Carlos Cano. La flanquean los castillos de San Sebastián y Santa Catalina, frente al antiguo Hospital de Mora, y también ha sido escenario de varias películas de cine, tales como 007: Muere otro día, Alatriste, Manolete y El Amor Brujo.

An aerial argument between two red kites. This interaction is usually over in a flash and you often don't appreciate the fact that one of them has turned upside down in the process.
O senador Zeze Perrella participou (08/08) de reunião com as bancadas federais de Minas e do Pará, em defesa de emenda à Medida Provisória 563, que inclui a Compensação Financeira sobre Exploração Mineral (CFEM) nas normas para cobrança de tributos para exportação.
Apresentada pelo senador Flexa Ribeiro (PSDB/PA), sob o argumento de que algumas empresas que atuam na área mineral utilizam mecanismos não previstos em lei para pagar menos impostos no Brasil.
“Precisamos defender os interesses de Minas Gerais, e dos outros estados produtores deste recurso mineral, é necessário uma compensação do que a extração do minério causa, de forma que se pague os impostos sobre o valor final do minério”, afirmou Perrella.
Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) também participou da reunião, ressaltando que não se pede nenhum benefício, apenas o que é justo, no sentido de uma maior arrecadação dos Estados e municípios.
O encontro contou com a presença do governador de Minas Gerais Antonio Anastasia (PSDB), e o governador do Pará, Simão Jatene. Anastásia destacou que a manutenção da emenda interessa não apenas a Minas Gerais e ao Pará, mas a todos aqueles estados onde é feita mineração.

Foto presa a la Patum Extraordinaria del setembre. La Patum SEMPRE es fa per Corpus (entre maig i juny), però aquest 2016 es va donar una 2ª Patum extraordinaria el setembre, en motiu del centenari de la coronació de la Verge de Queralt, patrona de Berga.
La Patum és la celebració més intensa i especial de Catalunya. Em falten paraules per poder-la descriure.

Those are the "male" giants of the town of Berga, showing their "arguments". They were built arround 1850-1890, and are part of the celebrations of La Patum. On the other side, the tradition of giants in the local festivities is found all arround Catalonia and Europe. In fact the giants, like the "dwarves" are an adopted element in the Patum, not being in the medieval core of the festival.
