By artist, Charles Gaines. Per the description the box is like the hull of a ship. It’s 110 feet long with nine moving chains inside, (although at the moment the chains are not moving) the center chain moves in one direction while the other eight chains move in opposite directions, mimicking the currents in the harbor against the speed of the ship.
Love to watch egrets fishing.
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
Gulls or seagulls are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls; stout, longish bills; and webbed feet. Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores which take live food or scavenge opportunistically, particularly the Larus species. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea, except for the kittiwakes. 22077
1849 375m long Széchenyi Chain Bridge over the Dunabe river which takes you from Buda to Pest or vice versa.
This was in the Winter of 2018 and was a great trip to Budapest. I can stil remember this outing at night because it was cold and I was walking for hours taking pictures and I had my tripod on me and it was just so quiet in the city. I was staying in a beautiful hotel in a very old building right next to the Liberty Bridge. I see it still exists, it's called The Butterfly Home. Friendly people, beautiful city... great city trip.
European city trips in winter are nice. Less crowds, lower prices and I don't mind the cold. I'm thinking about going the Bucharest this winter.
One glorious chain of love,
of giving and receiving,
unites all creatues.

Union RR 34 leads a 5 pack with the loaded coke train from Clairton at Dravosburg, PA on March 29, 2024. I was heading back to Port Vue after chasing the AVR-3 to Bruceton, and saw a headlight in the distance as I was coming down the hill at Dravosburg. I had enough time to get in position, which involved pulling the car up tight to an old chain link fence so that I could stand on the hood to shoot over it.
TGIF and HFF
and to go with the title, something I found on youtube and..uh..not my kind of music, that's for sure! LOL
This handsome, powerful dog has an owner and looked healthy, we are working hard to try to convince owners not to chain their dogs.
1849 Chain Bridge and the 1905 St. Stephen's Basilica in the back.
This was taken near the Budapest Castle Hill Funicular. The funicular runs till 21:00 hours in winter and is €4 return (Feb 2018). You can also take the stairs and that will take about 15 min or so. The castle grounds are open 24/7. There was nobody around at the time I was there and you can take some nice shots of the bridges and the buildings on Pest.
