I couldn't resist enhancing his muscles in editing when I saw the pose and tough guy expression he gave me.
Another dormant pub. My local as well. Nice atmosphere, great beer and food plus a spacious garden at the rear. Soon I hope!!
We have finally seen some snow in southern Wisconsin, making it look and feel a little more like winter. Here on the north side of Watertown, Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder kicks up the powder a little after just crossing over from 2 main to the single track main at Watertown West.

Number 7, The Empire Builder heads westward on the Glasgow Sub with a couple of extra motors. On this trip west, the train was terminated at Glasgow Montana due to avalanche related issues on Marias Pass. The eastbound Empire Builder, #8 picked up the cars and power at Glasgow, and brought the whole consist eastward, with the ultimate destination of Chicago. Passenger service across the northern transcon is currently suspended until the avalanche dangers have passed on Marias.
After crossing a snowy Marias Pass, Amtrak’s eastbound Empire Builder curves through Grizzly, Montana, on a cold December 22, 1998.
The previous day's eastbound Empire Builder rolled through about an hour ahead of this Christmas day scheduled eastbound Builder. Nothing special about this train other than it's Christmas day passengers traveling by rail, as it should be.

Another winter snowfall and brings another late Empire Builder on its trip back to Chicago. Siemens ALC-42 Chargers 302 and 310 are about 5 hours late into the Twin Cities and should arrive at St. Paul Union Deport within the half hour.

Hunting Great Blue Herons wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water or open fields. Watch for the lightning-fast thrust of the neck and head as they stab with their strong bills. Their very slow wingbeats, tucked-in neck and trailing legs create an unmistakable image in flight.
Great Blue Herons have a long back toe that helps them to grab onto branches to sit in trees and to nest in them. They build sturdy stick nests. Most of them nest in colonies of a few to hundreds of pairs, but some Great Blue Herons are more territorial and nest far from others. No one understands why some are so much more solitary than others.

I've made a little decorative birdhouse that's hanging near the front door of my house that's been popular over the years.
-A few years ago, some chickadees checked it out a lot, but didn't move in.
-The next year it got invaded by yellow-jackets.
-This year it has attracted a pair of Bewick's wrens.
Of course the houses I've built specifically for wrens, in ideal locations/heights/etc. so far have had no visitors.

The Dairy in the New Garden was built to plans by the master builder, Carl Gotthard Langhans, on the shore of the Jungfernsee lake at the northernmost tip of the New Garden in Potsdam, Germany. Construction was carried out from 1790 to 1792 by Andreas Ludwig Krüger.
In 1843/1844 Frederick William IV. had the building extended. To a design by the architect Ludwig Persius a second storey was added under the direction of Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse and the southwest corner was enhanced with a tower. Battlements run along the edges of the roof and give the building a Norman character.
A second expansion was carried out in 1857 with the engine or pump house, which was built to water the New Garden.The high, slender chimney is part of that technical modification.The upper basin for the supply of water is nowadays located within the Belvedere on the Pfingstberg.
n 1928 a restaurant was established in the building that became one of the most popular destinations for day trippers in Potsdam until the Second World War.
Its occupation by the Red Army at the end of 1945 and the destruction by fire of part of the building ended its gastronomic function. The dairy was still in this ruined condition when the Berlin Wall was built in 1961.
In 1991, after the Wende, renovation and restoration measures were carried out on the old building and, in 2003, it was able to re-open as a brewery and restaurant

On a cold and clear Thanksgiving Day, Amtrak train No. 8, the Empire Builder, heads east across the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, leaving the jagged mountains of Glacier National Park in its rearview mirror.
Five days after shooting this Empire Builder consist on August 5th, it is again making another round trip on the route from Chicago to the west coast on August 10th. Some strange dispatching delayed the Builder's route into the Minnesota Commercial and down the CP Merriam Park Subdivision to Union Depot.
A builder at work in a Rome backstreet. I liked the way the sun was catching the wooden posts, it made them glow in almost a religious way.
