The Bateleur is a colourful species with a very short tail which, together with its white underwing coverts, makes it unmistakable in flight. The tail is so small the bird's legs protrude slightly beyond the tail during flight.
The average adult Bateleur is 55 to 70 cm long with a 186 cm wingspan. The wing chord averages approximately 51 cm. Adult weight is ±2 to 2.6kg.

The great white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) also known as the eastern white pelican, rosy pelican or white pelican is a bird in the pelican family. It breeds from southeastern Europe through Asia and Africa, in swamps and shallow lakes.
It is a huge bird—only the Dalmatian pelican is, on average, larger among pelicans. It measures 140 to 180 cm (55 to 71 in) in length with a 28.9 to 47.1 cm (11.4 to 18.5 in) enormous pink and yellow bill, and a dull pale-yellow gular pouch. The wingspan measures 226 to 360 cm (7.41 to 11.81 ft), the latter measurement being the highest among extant flying animals outside of the great albatross.[ The adult male measures about 175 cm (69 in) in length; it weighs from 9 to 15 kg (20 to 33 lb) and larger races from the Palaearctic are usually around 11 kg (24 lb), with few exceeding 13 kg (29 lb). It has a bill measuring 34.7 to 47.1 cm (13.7 to 18.5 in). The female measures about 148 cm (58 in) in length, and is considerably less bulky, weighing 5.4 to 9 kg (12 to 20 lb), and has a bill that measures 28.9 to 40.0 cm (11.4 to 15.7 in) in length. Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 60 to 73 cm (24 to 29 in), the tail 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 in), and the tarsus 13 to 14.9 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in) long.
The soft music from this violinist pierced the busy marketplace. It's nice to see today's young musicians getting interested and picking up classical instruments. It's refreshing from today's often overdone electric pop.

In the words of Thomas Frank, "Ding Dong the Jerk is Gone"! Well, not quite, but very soon. The orange menace has lost this election to a man of wisdom, compassion, and character, President-elect, Joe Biden. Words cannot express the joy and relief that I feel as I type these words! After days of anxiety, obsessively checking the news, and inability to focus on anything, the news came yesterday that the worst president in American history will, hopefully, soon be yesterday's news - Hallelujah!!!
Words can't adequately express my joy and relief, so I took an iPhone photo of a coneflower on my porch through a journey to Deep Dream Generator, then to Topaz Studio to add some brush strokes and a texture. An end to the last four years of daily nightmare is at hand!
Here's to Kamala Harris, our first woman Vice-President, one hundred years after women got the right to vote in this country!🌻

"We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

It was like a symphony. Unseen sun prepares an atmosphere. Then, the ray touches the trees with the first chord to grow into a great symphony of light...
Thank you for all your comments and favs, my friends.

The horizontal line looks like it could be tangent to a large circle made by the chunkier concrete in the lower left; the vertical line would just cut through the circle with abandon.
Horseshoe Curve is an icon, a feat of engineering, a strategical component of Norfolk Southern's extensive network in the east. Elementally, it's a little more than a half circle, plain and simple--220-some odd degrees arced around a diameter spanning in excess of 1,200' with an offset of 9.25" at the midpoint of every 62' chord length. Nonsensical geometry to some, but in this gibberish of numbers resides 16+ decades of history and lore plus a dramatic spectacle for every traversal of a train around one of its several main tracks. This most celebrated location on the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, perhaps the most famous curve in all of railroading, circumvolves trains around both ridges bordering Kittanning Run west of Altoona, easing the Pennsy's westward crossing of the Alleghenies to surmountable grades not exceeding 2%. Though the Pennsy is long gone and one of its four famous lanes has been nixed, Horseshoe Curve continues to support major tonnage, exceeding 100 MGT per calendar year, as a focal point on Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, continuing its purpose of serving as a vital artery in the conveyance of goods from the Midwest to the east. This time, its 25V's turn to take center stage, immersing the vivid valley of Kittanning Run with the sonic pounding of FDL horsepower dragging their containerized payload from Jersey to Chi-town towards the top of the mountain at Gallitzin. Once the engines pass, the throaty exhaust racket will defer to the piercing screech of metal-to-metal contact as the conical tread of each wheel loses the ability to steer through the tightly bent strips of iron and the flanges are pressed into action against the gauge face of the rail. A pitch perfect performance in mountain railroading, no doubt.
This photo struck a chord with me and made me think of an old song by Skid Row.
Maybe you know the song:
I Remember You
Song by - Skid Row
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
Oh, whoa
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said, "I love you, babe," without a sound
I said, "I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss"
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all, we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Oh-oh-oh, oh
We woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
Through all the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember, I remember you"
Yeah, oh yeah
