A random snapshot of a few pieces of large and medium sized heavy machinery and equipment that is being used to dig out the center left-turning lanes within the center of Brookway Boulevard (MS 558) and replace it with a grassy median that divides the eastbound and westbound travel lanes in Brookhaven, Mississippi. (March 7, 2025)
They are basically extending the grassy median from I-55 over to a little bit past the Taco Bell and Walmart traffic lights. I don't really know if they are going to extend the grassy median beyond the Walmart and Taco Bell lights but the Boulevard is extra-wide out in front of Walmart towards I-55. The reason why this section of the road is extra wide was because there was originally a grassy median there before it was replaced by wide left-turn center lanes. It would be quite crazy if the more busier western half of Brookway Boulevard between I-55 and US 51 had a grassy median with a few turn around spots like its less busier eastern half with light poles within it.
While this project is underway and they are digging out the old left-turn lanes for the new grassy median, the left lanes in each direction will also be closed off to traffic, essentially turning the Boulevard into a very busy and heavily congested divided "two-lane" highway as most of the traffic from both Brookhaven and Lincoln County is concentrated onto that stretch of road to gain access to many of the big chain restaurants and Walmart.
When they get rid of that long, divided left-turning lane here at the intersection of Brookway Boulevard and Magee Drive as they will have it moved closer to the main eastbound lanes while replacing the old one with a new grassy median to divide the travel lanes, they will have to move or replace the traffic light signals here as there would be no need for the extra added signals here.
I don't really know if this is true but there's also the possibility of both the City and State's plans to install two roundabouts over at where the on and off ramps at I-55 to make it "easier" for traffic to get on and off of the interstate highway. The main problem with that is that most people around here can barely drive in a straight line on a nice sunny day much less knowing how to drive through a basic roundabout. I'm more surprised that the city didn't make that interchange into four-way stops as this small city is "addicted" to them being everywhere.
Nederland, Overijssel, Gemeente Steenwijkerland, 08-09-2009. Nationaal Park De Weerribben, de enige doorgaande weg door het gebied, de Hoogeweg met watermolen (gebruikt voor het bemalen van een inmiddels verdwenen polder). Het landschap is het resultaat van het winnen van turf, na het steken van de turf (waardoor de 'trekgaten' ontstonden) werd dit te drogen gelegd op legakkers (de 'ribben'). Tegenwoordig vindt er rietteelt plaats (dekriet). Het laagveen gebied verdroogd en verruigt waardoor veenheiden of moerasbossen ontstaan.
The National Park Weerribben. The landscape is the result of the extraction of peat, after digging the peat (creating the 'pull holes'), it was to layed to dry on fields (the 'ribs'). As the paet bog fields become more dry, peat swamp forests occur.

The scene where Matt digs the grave. This makes it look like he's the killer....maybe there's a twist?
I was driving back from taking the sunset shots and saw this in a field, so I jumped out to take a snap. I liked the way the sun was lighting up the cab. Also try the other view below, with a very different feel.
A day to dig out of the snow that blanketed the North East coast. It didn't deter this cyclist however. Some said it stretched a thousand miles up the coast. Pray we stay safe.
Went to Shine Tidelands State Park for clam digging. It was a cold and windy day to be out there but we’ll make the best out of it. Low tide exposed the green sea anemone colonies. When underwater, they opened up their tentacles like a saltwater flower. While exposed in the open air, it’s closed up like a spongy cup. There were so many of them and so hard to spot I sometimes stepped on it by mistake. It would squirt water when that happened. There were also sand dollars. Hundreds and thousands of them conjugated in one section of the beach. At first I had no idea what they were. A man clam digging with his kiddo on his shoulder came by to chat. He told us what that was. Learned something new that day.

There has been some complaints from the Bumblebee community that I only shoot them in flight. They are hard working insects not out doing some fancy air show and demanded to be shown as such! I am not one to argue with insects that has a stinger and know where I live! Here they go...
John Paul & Caleb digging dirt
Notice how you can see 2 and on the right, 3 blocks that have a coating of some sort on them? We will be filling this, and all the other rooms, with dirt up to the level where the color changes. That's a LOT of dirt!
Col. Gallaird was a cool guy. Loved to dig ditches. Look what he did to a stretch of land in Central America. Course, he had help... My mom picked up rocks from the bottom of this mountain. Jasper, agates, all kinds of quartz. I make jewelry from those rocks even today, in 2010!

Mekoro are traditionally made by digging out the trunk of a large straight tree, such as an ebony tree or Kigelia tree. Modern mekoro, however, are increasingly made of fibre-glass, one of the advantages of which is the preservation of more of the large endangered trees. Mokoro safaris are a popular way for tourists to visit the delta, much of which is in national parks, but the boats are still a practical means of transport for residents to move around the swamp. The boats are very vulnerable to attack by hippopotamus, which can overturn them with ease. Hippopotamus are reputed to have developed this behaviour after the use of mekoro and other boats for hunting.
