A uniquely designed signal cantilever still stands deactivated over the tracks near Negaunee, Michigan as the crew from the previous image heads back west towards Ishpeming after swapping trains and power with the local from Gladstone.
I went to the Texas History Museum and was amazed at the weapons they had to use back in 1685. lol..Here, in Texas, we use bigger guns for hunting..;) Just kidding. Here's more information
La Belle was one of Robert de La Salle's four ships when he explored the Gulf of Mexico with the ill-fated mission of starting a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1685.
Can you imagine, leaving Europe in a 54ft wooden sailboat headed to southern United States. That's crazy, those guys and gals were really brave.

Eilean Donan Castle—a true Highland icon and one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. Perched on a tiny tidal island where three sea lochs meet—Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh—it’s near the village of Dornie and serves as a dramatic gateway to the Isle of Skye.
A Glimpse into the Past
The site’s history stretches back to the 6th century when Bishop Donan is believed to have established a monastic cell there. The first fortified castle was built in the 13th century by Alexander II to defend against Viking incursions. Over the centuries, it expanded and contracted mysteriously, until it was destroyed in 1719 during a Jacobite uprising. British naval forces bombarded it, and after discovering barrels of gunpowder inside, they blew it to ruins.
A Romantic Revival
For nearly 200 years, the castle lay in ruins until Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap lovingly restored it between 1912 and 1932. The iconic arched bridge that now connects the island to the mainland was added during this restoration, completing the postcard-perfect image we know today.

Today’s Experience
Eilean Donan is now operated by the Conchra Charitable Trust and welcomes visitors with a modern visitor centre, gift shop, and café. Inside the castle, you’ll find period-furnished rooms, Jacobite artifacts, and sweeping views of the surrounding lochs and mountains. It’s also a popular filming location—fans of Highlander or The World Is Not Enough might recognize it.
If you’re planning a visit, the official website has all the practical details. Or if you’re just dreaming from afar, it’s a castle that practically begs to be painted, photographed, or written into a story.
A crystal sphere shot through acrylic glass having water droplets on it. This is just an experiment in creating artifacts.
The blackish shapes along the ground are not rocks. They are the stumps of burnt trees. I find it odd that the fire would travel along the banks of the stream and yet not burn up into the hills where all the green trees grew.

Small change of perspective can be a great thing, right? Soft evening light was just beautiful that evening from the south side. Amazing sky textures were forming quickly. The wind painted sky was done using one of the Sony apps. I shot that night different variations of the sky, water and the city and mixed them together for the final result. What do you think?

While driving on Vancouver Island I came across a farm whose fences were lined with tractors and plows from the 20th and possibly 19th centuries. The owner John let us in where we discovered several sheds filled with old rusting farm equipment. It was an amazing opportunity to take photos of beautiful old artifacts.

This was one of the most intensive and longest enduring burning skies I have seen for a long time. Luckily it happened right in front of a very juicy foreground. Was waiting for years to get epic light on a fresh, fluffy snow coverage. The tree trunk comes from a very special old tree, I have photographed many times before. Grab a hot chocolate, lean back and enjoy the view!

When I entered the pavilion, attracted by the many Soviet artifacts on the front facade, it was completely empty. Three young women were standing in the middle of the huge hall drinking coffee. I said hello, wished them "delicious coffee" and was surprised by a strange question: - "Are you looking for someone?" He answered - "No, not someone, but something interesting." The only interesting things were the chandeliers and the floor. Looking at the chandelier, I involuntarily counted the lamps. There were 12 of them, one of which was damaged, and another did not light. The women watched me, one embarrassedly said: "See, the pavilion is empty and there is nothing interesting." I thought: "Why not. You have an interesting chandelier above your head, it has 12 lamps like Jesus Christ's 12 disciples, 11 of whom later became apostles. The extinguished lamp is Judas Iscariot, and the broken lamp is Peter, who denied Christ that night."
Коли я зайшов усередину павільйону, залучений безліччю радянських артефактів на лицьовому фасаді, він був зовсім порожній. Три жінки серед величезного залу стоячи пили каву. Я привітався, побажав «смачної кави» і здивувався питанню: - «Ви когось шукаєте?».
Відповів - «Ні, не когось, а щось цікаве».
З цікавого були тільки люстри та підлога. Розглядаючи люстру, я мимоволі порахував лампи. Їх було 12, з яких одна була пошкоджена, а ще одна не світилася.
Жінки спостерігали за мною, старша зніяковіло сказала: "Бачите, павільйон порожній і немає нічого цікавого".
Я подумав: «Чому ж нічого. У вас над головою люстра радянських часів, у якій 12 ламп, як 12 учнів у Ісуса Христа, 11 з яких згодом стали апостолами. Лампа яка не світить - це Іуда Іскаріот, а пошкоджена лампа - Петро, який зрікся Христа тієї ночі». 😉
