Just north of the Great Miami's confluence with the Ohio River. No access on the Ohio side to left. Long hike through Oxbow on the Indiana side. This six span double track bridge was a huge expense when the B&O built it. Withstood many floods over it's years. The North Bend Generator Station is in the background. Previously shown in images from Shawnee Lookout Park in Ohio.

Av Charles de Gaulle background left. The Michalak pastry shop is on the far left, with the white awning. Le Durand Dupont restaurant on the right.
We sat here for a while, taking in the square and the few people, before deciding what to do for dinner. It was around 6pm, and the restaurants here looked a bit expensive (e.g. Durand Dupont). With the help of Mr Google, we picked a restaurant called Monsieur Maillot, at Porte Maillot, a few blocks further on towards the Arc de Triomphe, not far past the very busy Blvd Périphérique ring road. Booked a table for 7pm, and then took our time wandering around through streets well away from the Av Charles de Gaulle.

Autumn in Europe 2025
I had some reasonable shots of a Kingfisher but they had a pretty uninspiring grey background due to a dull overcast day. So for the very first time I decided to find out how to change the background of the shot, this is the result not perfect by any means but more pleasing to the eye than grey. There is also a slight vignette, it's obviously not a natural background and I would always say if I had done this. Any thoughts ?
Looking Close... on Friday: Jewelry on Paper Background
I'm afraid Capucine has discovered the existence of a new toy: jewels. Chains seem to be particularly entertaining. *Sighs.*
Spiral arms seem to swirl around the core of Messier 96 in this colorful island universe. Of course M96 is a spiral galaxy, and counting the faint arms extending beyond the brighter central region it spans 100 thousand light-years or so. That's about the size of our own Milky Way. M96 is known to be 38 million light-years distant, a dominant member of the Leo I galaxy group. In looking at the galaxy, it seems to me it might be becoming a polar ring galaxy; the core is nearly face-on to us, but the outer ring seems to sit at an obilque angle to the core.
Background galaxies and smaller Leo I group members can be found by examining the picture. The most intriguing one is itself a spiral galaxy seen nearly edge on behind the outer spiral arm near the 4 o'clock position from center. Its bright central bulge cut by its own dark dust clouds, the edge-on background spiral appears to be about 1/5 the size of M96. If that background galaxy is similar in actual size to M96, then it would be about 5 times farther away. Text from APOD

We could be living the life
they all wish they were living
No chains to hold us down
They’re labeling us how we’re missing
But we have thrown it away
‘Cause we’ve seen better days
