Union Pacific GP30s No. 802 and 842 pull a 10-car Park City Local through Coalville, Utah on July 5, 1986.
Curlew has really risen up the conservation agenda recently because the population is plummeting, especially in Wales and Northern Ireland, and Britain has the third biggest Curlew population on the planet (after Russia and Finland I think). So if our Curlews disappear like Corncrakes did, the impact will be large on a global scale.
The scientific generic name of Curlew is Numenius, which translates from the Greek for new moon. Hesychius (Greek, 5th or 6th century AD) was the first to describe a bird he called noumenios (neos=new mene=moon) which has been traditionally associated with Curlew because its beak is the shape of a crescent moon. The specific name arquata comes from the Latin word arcuatus, meaning bow-shaped, again from the shape of the bill.
I took this photograph near Holmfirth in the South Pennines where they are still relatively common breeding birds.

Urbex B.T
Does this count as Urbex? a rusty old phone box found while out walking the Clydach Gorge. There's not that many of these heavy old fashioned boxes left so hopefully it will be salvaged.
>>> He might be looking for the Chupacabra again. No idea. He can reach me via e-mail or text, but no, always such drama.
Perez's frog, also known as Iberian waterfrog, Iberian green frog, or Coruna frog (Pelophylax perezi) (I think!)
I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.
The weather and work have been conspiring against me recently, been unable to get out much with the camera so here`s a shot from Hyde Park Calling in 2007. Couldn`t see much on the stages for the rain but the fairground rides looked good!
The things I learn on Google!
Pointing at a sign or signal and calling out the status maintains focus and attention, greatly reducing workplace errors.
I am a 'rock hound' and always check out the rocks wherever I am - but these La Jolla rocks were hard to decipher.
I have put up these shots [with enhanced color and contrast] to try to show the context of the agate-like rock. Can anyone tell if these rocks are sedimentary or metamorphic - or metamorphic inclusions in a sedimentary matrix?
I suppose I could try looking up the geologic history of SoCal...
"Santa, Santa!"
In our hearts we're calling
"Santa, Santa!"
Come on ol' Kris Kringle
Down the Milky Way
Christmastime is Calling,
"Santa, we need you today!"
(From 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', the animated version with the Mouses and the Clockmaker. Where everything went 'kerplooey'. One of my childhood favorites and still today!)
