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.

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?

The Longmen Grottoes (aka Longmen Caves) is a UNESCO–listed world heritage site which has thousands of statues of Buddha carved in caves excavated from its surrounding cliffs. Unfortunately, the site was subjected to significant vandalism and senseless destruction at several points in its history. Major artifacts were removed by Western collectors and souvenir hunters during the early 20th century and by the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The heads of many statues were also destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
The Chinese government has since recognized the cultural and tourist importance of the Longmen Grottoes and has been active engaged in the preservation and restoration of the site. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmen_Grottoes
From the other side of the Atlantic Ocean I peacefully landed with Her on the ground of the main Atrium of Kelvingrove.
She is a brave fighter,a classic WW II Supermarine Spitfire in a rather unusual position of being on the ground,rather than in the air.Kelvingrove Galley & Museum opened in 1901 as the Palace of Fine Arts in the Glasgow International Exhibition and it is the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside of London.It houses an eclectic mix of world-class fine art exhibits,archeological artifacts & natural history displays.
I wish I could see All Fighters Frozen in mid-flight for Ever ...

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!

Love the Indian artifacts. I've been fortunate enough to find quite a few here in Missouri. In fact, almost any decent sized creek or river area usually has them around. For thousands and thousands of years our land has been used. There's quite a feeling finding these in the dirt where they lay, last touched by a human being many years ago. It is quite humbling.
Sorry about the poor quality of some of these photos - the light was dim and I was photographing through thick glass.
