A bull Buffalo near Fort Providence NorthWest Territories Canada. They often follow the roadway eating grass. They are extremely hardy animals surviving bitter cold temperatures that will drop down to -40c in the winter time. Often seen in herds of 20 to 30 animals.
Given its unpredictable temper, the African buffalo is particularly difficult to tame and has never been domesticated like its relative, the Asian water buffalo. Additionally, these animals are considered to be extremely dangerous. They fiercely protect themselves and each other against predators and are known to move in to support another buffalo that is under attack by a lion or other predator. They are very courageous animals.

This airmail beacon had an acetylene powered flashing light that helped pilots keep on course. It was built in the mid-1920's and operated until early 1930's.
The beacon is on the part of Buffalo Valley called "alkali lake" (USGS 7.5' topo "Buffalo Springs NE"). Except for the missing light, it looks like it could still be used.
Fresh off of overnight rain, and several inches in the week prior, the scenery on Earl Drive just outside Dauphin PA is saturated as the Norry to Enola turn, H53, rumbles south along the Norfolk Southern Buffalo Line with a pair of ex-Conrail SD40-2 locomotives leading the charge.

Buffalo City Hall is a 32-story skyscraper completed in 1931. It is considered one of the finest and most significant examples of Art Deco architecture in the world.
Architecture and Design: Designed by Dietel, Wade, and Jones, the building is famous for its soaring verticality and intricate geometric details. Both the exterior and interior are adorned with mosaics, sculptures, and stained glass celebrating the city's history and industrial prowess.
Observation Deck: On the 28th floor, there is a free public observation deck that provides stunning 360-degree panoramic views of the city, Lake Erie, and, on clear days, the mist rising from Niagara Falls.
Symbolism: The design incorporates many Native American motifs and scenes of industrial labor, representing Buffalo's identity as the "City of Light."
Status: It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is so massive that it features over 1,500 windows, all uniquely designed to open inward for easier cleaning.

The Buffalo Savings Bank is a historic building in Buffalo, New York, USA. Constructed between 1899 and 1901, it is a prominent example of Beaux-Arts architecture. It was designed by architect Edward B. Green. The building served as the bank's headquarters until the 1970s, with its most notable feature being the gilded dome that crowns the structure. In 1976, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Due to its elegance and iconic dome, it is one of Buffalo's most recognizable landmarks. Today, it is known as the Goldome or Gold Dome Bank. In the late 20th century, the building was restored and repurposed for commercial and office use, adapting to new functions while retaining its original grandeur.
So I came across this prestigious animal today.

The Buffalo Fork River is a tributary of the Snake River and part of it forms a boundary of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. It has a reputation as a great place to fish, but the water is extremely low now. I liked the view of this huge s-curve and neighboring ranches.
