same flower from yesterday, with slightly different focus showing off the little nectar sacs.
and in the news:
no surprises about the climate at city hall.
wifebeating, childbeating, coward ford politics as usual, aided by neutered lapweasel mammoliti.
and speaking of gravy, again for a bigot's pet cause.
and here are the inbred clown brothercousins hiding from the media again, like the incompetent dogfuckers they are.

Köln Hauptbahnhof (English: Cologne Central Station, abbr.: Köln Hbf) is the central railway station in Cologne, Germany.
The station is an important local, national and international hub, with many ICE, Thalys and InterCity trains calling there, as well as regional RegionalExpress, RegionalBahn and local S-Bahn trains. EuroNight and DB NachtZug night services also call at the station. It has frequent connections to Frankfurt by way of the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line, which starts in southern Cologne. On an average day, about 250,000 travellers frequent the station, leaving it tied with Hanover and Düsseldorf for fifth busiest station in Germany.
The station is situated next to the Cologne cathedral.
There is another important train station in Cologne, the Köln Messe/Deutz railway station across the river Rhine, just about 400 metres away from Köln Hauptbahnhof. The stations are linked by the Hohenzollernbrücke, a six-track railway bridge with passenger walkways on each side. Frequent local services connect the two stations as well.
The station has to cope with a very high daily load; even though some ICE services now call at the Köln-Deutz station, though its platforms are divided into three sections each, are still remarkably crowded all over the day, and a major extension of the station is impossible because of its unique surroundings. Connections to the local Cologne network Stadtbahn are made by two subterranean stations, Dom/Hbf and Breslauer Platz/Hbf at the respective ends of the station. The station has 11 main line passenger track platforms, of which two are used for S-Bahn services; the two subterranean Stadtbahn stations have two tracks each. Its IATA code is QKL.
The station's building also hosts a large shopping mall, the Colonaden.
Der Kölner Hauptbahnhof ist ein Knotenpunkt im deutschen Personenverkehrs-Eisenbahnnetz und einer der verkehrsreichsten Bahnhöfe Deutschlands. Der Bahnhof liegt im Stadtzentrum von Köln am Fuße des Kölner Doms. An seine östliche Ausfahrt schließt in einer engen Kurve die Hohenzollernbrücke an. Der Bahnhof ist als Durchgangsbahnhof angelegt und mit seinen elf Gleisen für einen Knotenbahnhof verhältnismäßig klein.
Der Kölner Hauptbahnhof gehört mit 250.000 Reisenden pro Tag zu den am meisten frequentierten Bahnhöfen Deutschlands. Einzig an den Hauptbahnhöfen in Hamburg, Frankfurt, München und Berlin herrscht eine höheres Passagieraufkommen in Deutschland, der Düsseldorfer Hauptbahnhof hat die gleiche Anzahl von Reisenden und Besuchern. Er ist somit einer der 20 Bahnhöfe der Kategorie 1.
Um 1850 gab es in Köln Bahnhöfe von fünf verschiedenen Eisenbahngesellschaften: Linksrheinisch waren dies die Bonn-Cölner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BCE), die Cöln-Crefelder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CCE) und die Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE), rechtsrheinisch die Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) und die Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME).
Nachdem 1854 die umstrittene Lage der neuen Bahn- und Straßenbrücke am Dom festgelegt worden war, folgten Überlegungen, wie die Brücke an den bestehenden Güter- und provisorischen Personenbahnhof am Rheinufer („Rheinstation“ an der Trankgasse) angeschlossen werden könnte. Pläne, die Waggons mit Aufzügen herabzulassen, wichen schnell der Erkenntnis, dass für die Verbindung der links- und rechtsrheinischen Bahnverkehre ein zentraler Bahnhof geschaffen werden müsse. Die Stadt stimmte 1857 zu und steuerte die Fläche des Botanischen Gartens der ehemaligen Universität bei. Die ebenerdige Trasse wurde von der Brücke über die vom Rhein her ansteigende Maximinenstraße gelegt und ebenerdig den Eigelstein querend – zwischen Ritterstraße und Weidengasse – durch die mittelalterliche Stadtmauer geführt.
Der sogenannte „Centralbahnhof“ wurde ab 1857 nach den Plänen von Hermann Otto Pflaume im Auftrag der RhE gebaut, die im gleichen Jahr mit der BCE fusioniert hatte. Zusammen mit der Dombrücke wurde der Bahnhof 1859 eröffnet. Der Centralbahnhof war ein kombinierter Kopf- und Durchgangsbahnhof: An vier Kopfgleisen endeten die Züge der RhE aus Westen, während die Züge der CME von der Dombrücke auf zwei Durchgangsgleisen den Bahnhof tangierten.
Der Centralbahnhof stieß schnell an seine Kapazitätsgrenzen, jedoch hatte die RhE als Betreiberin nur begrenzt Interesse an einem Ausbau des Bahnhofs, da dieser überwiegend den Konkurrenzgesellschaften zugute gekommen wäre. Ernsthafte Planungen für einen vergrößerten Hauptbahnhof konnten daher erst nach der Verstaatlichung der Eisenbahngesellschaften um 1880 aufgenommen werden

The Bad Boys from Boston, American rockers Aerosmith headlined the first of two nights of the Calling Festival newly relocated to South London’s Clapham Common.
The Steven Tyler-led rockers brought their unique blend of entertaining rock to a damp London evening, re-energising the sodden crowd with a mixed set drawn from their extensive back catalogue as well a cover of The Beatles 1969 hit Come Together. They began the 18-song set with Mama Kin from their 1973 eponymous debut album before moving onto Get a Grip hit Eat the Rich and Pump classing Love in an Elevator.
Hits Walk This Way and Dude (Looks Like a Lady) also featured before the encore was opened with classic Dream On featuring Tyler playing piano and Joe Perry playing guitar … on the piano!
It’s surprising just how much energy the 66-year-old Tyler and 63-year-old Perry convey up on stage with such engaging performances and on-stage hijinks that kept the crowd enthralled from the outset until the closing bars of Toys in the Attic classic Sweet Emotion.

He began as a speck on the horizon.
My attention was drawn to the waves and the wind and I thought no more about the speck until it came closer.
Then I could see him, walking barefoot on the edge of the water, at that point where the water reaches the shore but withdraws leaving a shimmering film of shining shells.
He had his faithful dog with him, walking along looking up at him every now and again, but never leaving his side. His pawprints lingered in the sand for a few moments before being washed away by the next wave.
I watched his measured approach, seeing saltwater on his face, the spray of the sea mixed with silent tears.
I smiled. He smiled.
He stood for a moment looking up at the clouds then whispered
"I'm just waiting for my son."

Two police radio operators at work in a control room.
We think this image depicts officers of Bolton Borough Police and dates from the early 1960s.
The 1960s saw the use of personal radios become increasingly commonplace in policing and the role of the radio operator come to the fore.
The equipment seems primitive compared to today’s multi-channel digital systems used by police forces today but was probably highly developed for the period.
The evocative image is part of the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archive.

Loved this one, especially as you can see the barbs in the roof of his mouth. No wonder they can carry so many fish in their beaks. Amazing.

Some of murals and sculptures which decorate Callejon de Hamel in Havana.
The inconspicuous entrance to the small alleyway of Callejon de Hamel hides behind an explosion of colourful Afro-Cuban culture.
The work of resident artist Salvador Gonzalez, the walls of the buildings along this small stretch in Centro Habana are decorated with numerous large and bright murals.
The paintings, along with sculptures and statues at street level, represent the various religious movements of African origin present in Havana.
At weekends, the street is also home to traditional Afro-Cuban music and dance.
Bobolinks nest in a particular field year after year and it's always a good spot to get photographs.There are nice lichen and moss covered fence posts, and there's a rise of land behind the posts that makes for a nice distant background without any sky in the shot.
