Today's shot takes us to Disney's Animal Kingdom For a shot of Expedition Everest. I've seen this shot done a few times, so I decided to try it myself. It's amazing what you can see from up there. In the distance you have the Disney Studios, Epcot, The Swan and Dolphin and the Contemporary. Have you ever taken any photos from the top of Everest? Have a magical day!
Conquer your fears
Fears once towering, now subdued,
Turned from foes to allies true.
With every step, we rise and learn,
For in their flames, we cease to burn.
They guide us through each unknown night,
Shedding doubt to spark our light.
What once was dread, now wisdom clear,
We conquer all when we face our fear.

Built in the early years of the Cold War the Conqueror battle tank weighed around 63 tons. It was soon realised that an equally big vehicle would be needed to recover them so as a result 28 of these Rolls Royce Meteor powered Conqueror ARVs were produced.

"and so she will rise from the water
with power laced in her breath
but mercy in her heart that doesn't beat
because she's something from the earth
a creature with no name
and only one general care
the purity of our eyes
and the love in our veins
and how our actions affect
today tomorrow and yesterday
because she's more than present
she's past and future
with all the strength she holds
she's lacking no virtues."

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

“You cannot defeat darkness by running from it, nor can you conquer your inner demons by hiding them from the world. In order to defeat the darkness, you must bring it into the light.”

A Roman settlement, named "Aeminium" existed here. When the neighbouring town "Conimbriga" got conquered and destroyed by the Suebes in 468, the survivors moved to "Aeminium" - and renamed it. The Visigoths under King Wittiza named the town "Eminio" later. In 714 the town was conquered by Muslim troops, who changed the name again.
Coimbra was finally recaptured in 1064 by King Fernando de Castilla y León. Coimbra became the second capital of the Kingdom of Portugal (after Guimarãesin) 1139, a status that moved to Lisbon in 1256. The University of Coimbra, founded by Denis of Portugal (aka "Dom Dinis") in 1290, is one of the oldest in Europe.
The small Romanesque church, dedicated to Saint James ("São Tiago") was consecrated in 1206, but it may be that this was already the second church here. Local, oral history tells, that Fernando I on recapturing Coimbra from the Moors in 1064, founded a church dedicated to St. James this very site. Today the church faces to the "Praça do Comércio". These capitals are located at the western portal of the church. In the center two manticores are attacked by birds.
This is the main track to Mount Kosciuszko just before it hits Rawsons pass. In summer with Thredbo top chairlift only 6.5kms away it can be packed. In winter in perfect weather we saw 5 other people all day.
I took the day off and we went on a hike in Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, AZ, just east of Phoenix. Such cowboy country. The light was crap in this shot, but I didn't have a lot of choice given the position of the sun and position of the scenery. Not to mention, Jasper was not much in the mood for posing today. He just wanted to get on down the trail.
The SO 1V39 07:23 Manchester Piccadilly to Newquay InterCity Holidaymaker Express was recorded passing Bristol Temple Meads in the care of 50009 'Conquerer'.

When Strasbourg was first mentioned in 12BC, it was the Roman camp Argentoratum. Strasbourg was probably a bishop's seat from the 4th century. Alemanni, Huns and Franks conquered the city in the 5th century. Strasbourg was then ruled by the Strasbourg bishops until 1262 when the citizens violently rebelled against the bishopric and Strasbourg became a free imperial city and so belonged to the Holy Roman Empire. Led by two rival patrician families (Müllheim and Zorn), the city prospered, although the town hall required two separate entrances for the two families.
On February 14, 1349, one of the first and largest pogroms of persecution of Jews in connection with the plague in the German area took place here. In the course of the St. Valentine's Day massacre, several hundred (some say up to 3000) Jews were publicly burned, and the survivors were expelled from the city. Until the end of the 18th century, Jews were forbidden to stay within the city walls after 10 pm.
Strasbourg came under French rule in 1681, after the conquest of Alsace by the armies of Louis XIV. However, the revocation of the Edict of Toleration of Nantes in 1685, which legalized the suppression of Protestantism in France, did not apply in Alsace, and religious freedom prevailed, even if the French authorities endeavored to favor Catholicism wherever possible.
Strasbourg's Lutheran, German-influenced university continued to exist. Moreover, until 1789, Alsace was a de facto foreign province , separated from the rest of France by a customs border running along the Vosges Mountains. Therefore, the city and its surrounding area remained German-speaking. In the period of the French Revolution, the city became attractive for republicans from Germany and later an exile for German oppositionists.
In the area around the cathedral (in the background on the left) there are many large half-timbered buildings.
Here are many more photos taken in
Strasbourg, Selestat and the Bas Rhin area.
A Bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) was framed moments before the landing to join its friends on ground. It was not easy at all to capture from such a close in full frame. I had to crawl with my heavy tele in hand for 20 meters in the thorny ground camouflaged like a reptile. I gave my level best effort to get the desired. I reached their resting ground and all of a sudden all actions started as reward. They are the champion of the air indeed. They migrate across the highest peak of the World - Mount Everest. This trans-Himalayan migrant comes from Northern Europe and Mongolia to India in winter. They are really gorgeous and intelligent creatures on Earth. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021), it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.

In downtown Brisbane, there is a series of climbers for kids. These ones seemed to be having a great time!
G543 reaches the peak of the Great Dividing Range as 9340 from Westall. From here it beings the decent down into Heathcote Junction station, before practically rolling the entire way the Kilmore East Hanson Quarry where it will load.
The previous day, H1 and XR558 were the pairing and I was still hoping to catch said combination.... No dice.
