There was a "dead calm" in the early morning at Merritt Island National Wildlife Reserve. A slight mist was burning off, and the air was still. I learned that these conditions are perfect for no-see-ums and other nasty biting insects to rise up and feed voraciously (on me) ; -))
The mangroves were mini-islands in this picture, and a large mixed flock of birds were in distance.
Merritt Island NWR and Canaveral National Seashore are a vast natural area (over 140,000 acres) that serve as a "buffer zone" for the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island. Much of the NWR and seashore are closed during rocket launches. This NWR provides an important sanctuary for migrating birds, and for several endangered plants and animals.

Locomotive 943 was built by the Mitsubishi Company of Japan in 1950 and was installed at the park after retirement in 1987 to signifify the friendly relations between Thailand and Japan. It also reminds visitors that the park was once an active railway yard.

After a favourable result to numerous tests, VIA Rail stainless steel consists no longer require a buffer car at each end, as had been the case since the end of last year. Here VIA 69 has five of these cars, all carrying passengers.

The Sheringham end of the North Norfolk Railway, a privately operated heritage line which operates both steam and diesel-hauled services. It is one of the longest established heritage lines, having been founded in 1965 about a year after the line was closed by British Railways. It once formed part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway and runs 5 miles to Holt.
Behind me, rails continue through a level crossing to the modern Sheringham station a short distance away, from which trains can be caught to Norwich on the national rail network. The buffer can be removed to allow occasional through trains, e.g. special steam services from Norwich.
MEC 516 leads a pair of cement hoppers to be used as buffers across Peabody Square to retrieve the last car from Rousselot Peabody. This marked the last day of rail operations on the Danvers Branch with Rousselot moving operations overseas, bringing and end to over 170 years of rail service to Peabody, MA and at one time beyond.
The amber deposits are up on a plateau behind the tripod with the River Ebro E/W highway flowing right to left in the bright of the distance. The La Llana megalith is just to the right. The site is on a cusp, and there is no space to create architectural drama or 'podium' for the carved exterior throne (chairs from history' tend to be in contact with a ground surface). Raised high thrones are typical of the late ages of prehistory and a guard for a trading post for amber could look out over this vista. Around three 'warm water forms' are to be found several hundred meters before the cusp. These monolithic forms are also expected within late prehistoric ages. A visiting party might meet at the warm water form and soak their feet as the 'Big man' walks aside to the 'amber haven' to trade for the precious stone - here the buffer zone on the cusp between is protected as is the above view out over the lower valley. That the two sites were linked would seem to make sense.
The parcels of Rioja vineyard are worked in detail and hug in and between rock and rise so that the myriad areas of interest are protected within 'islands' of scrub. A beguiling landscape rich in elements from many of man's chapters.

The Dudhwa National Park is a national park in the Terai of Uttar Pradesh, India, and covers an area of 490.3 km2 (189.3 sq mi), with a buffer zone of 190 km2 (73 sq mi). It is part of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve.[1] It is located on the Indo-Nepal border in the Lakhimpur Kheri District, and has buffer of reserved forest areas on the northern and southern sides. It represents one of the few remaining examples of a highly diverse and productive Terai ecosystem, supporting a large number of endangered species, obligate species of tall wet grasslands and species of restricted distribution.

This started out as a low angle shot of openings in a closet door vent. I experimented with color and texture and ended up with this abstract.

What looks to be buffer fitted 43013 is seen heading a Virgin Cross Country service past Newport ADJ Yard as the evening shadows lengthen. Yard shunters 09203 and 09105 can just be seen taking a break from their duties. The yard looked full on this day, taken circa 1998.
