The Rędzin Bridge (Most Rędziński) on the Oder River is the longest and highest bridge in Poland. Is one of the most attractive sites in Wroclaw. It catches your eye from far away. It is the largest river crossing in Poland: - it is 1742-metres long (30 metres longer than the Solidarity Bridge over the Vistula River in Plock) and the pylon on which it is suspended is 122-metres high (8 metres higher than the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science - Pałac Kultury i Nauki).
The pylon is H-shaped. The construction employs an original solution: the two multi-lane routes are attached separately to the arms of the pylon positioned on an isle in the Oder River.
The Rędzin Bridge is part of the Wroclaw Motorway Ring Road
The chief construction engineer of the Rędzin Bridge is Jan Biliszczuk, a professor at the Wroclaw University of Technology.
Curio:There are over 130 bridges and gangways in Wroclaw

This oldie but goodie employs a red metal hog house as a backdrop. I guess it stretches the definition of a truck but it is a hatchback. Also uncertain is if the hogs appreciate its rustic charm.
Interesting fact,we used this then modern hog building to house feeder pigs about 20 years ago. It turned out to be not modern enough to cut back on our workload as it involved loading up and hauling the hogs 10 miles from our main location. The old car wasn't around then....
The Taj Mahl "crown of palaces",is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
A Snowy Egret Braves the cold wind while waiting for breakfast to come along.
Adult Snowy Egrets are all white with a black bill, black legs, and yellow feet. They have a patch of yellow skin at the base of the bill.
Snowy Egrets wade in shallow water to spear fish and other small aquatic animals. While they may employ a sit-and-wait technique to capture their food, sometimes they are much more animated, running back and forth through the water with their wings spread, chasing their prey.
Snowy Egrets nest colonially, usually on protected islands, and often with other small herons. They concentrate on mudflats, beaches, and wetlands, but also forage in wet agricultural fields and along the edges of rivers and lakes.
A beautiful, graceful small egret, very active in its feeding behavior in shallow waters. Known by its contrasting yellow feet, could be said to dance in the shallows on golden slippers.
The species was slaughtered for its plumes in the 19th century, but protection brought a rapid recovery of numbers, and the Snowy Egret is now more widespread and common than ever. Its delicate appearance is belied by its harsh and raucous calls around its nesting colonies.

Malin Head (Irish: Cionn Mhálanna) is located on the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland and is the most northerly point of the island of Ireland. The northernmost tip is the headland named Banba's Crown located at latitude 55.38ºN. Malin Head gives its name to the Malin sea area. There is a weather station on the head, which is one of 22 such stations whose reports are broadcast as part of the BBC Shipping Forecast.
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century AD) described a point called Βορειον (Boreion, "the northern") which probably referred to Malin Head.
Banba's Crown on Malin Head is the most northerly point of the Irish mainland. Banba was one of the mythical queens of Ireland. Banba's Crown is about 16 km (10 mi) north of the village of Malin. The island of Inishtrahull is further north, located approximately 10 km (6 mi) north east of Malin Head. Further north still is the most northerly landfall of Ireland, Tor Beg rock.
Tower at Banbas Crown that was used during war times.
Malin Head is home to small businesses such as pubs, restaurants, shops and a large call centre called Forward Emphasis International, which employs many of the local residents.

This rapid flying falcon employs a specific manoeuvre to catch it's aerial prey.....once it has located its next snack, it will home onto it at speed,sometimes in a mini stoop, extending its talons, and at the last millisecond it fans its tail, applies its wings to form an air brake, almost stalling in an upright position...snatching its intended snack, which it devours on the wing.This takes all of a micro-second,it's what makes this tiny predator such a challenge to capture.
Ps ...not a particularly good image, but more of an interest.
Cheers for stopping and having a look...

The first laces date back to 1500 and initially their workmanship took place in well off houses, employing needle-and-thread. Later the lace workmanship took place inside the "Scuola Merletti" (Lace School). Noteworthy works are shown in a historical building located in the square of Burano, the Lace Museum where I took these 5 shots and composited them to show various examples. A difficult composite to say the least in clearing the backgrounds.
In the employ of my wife, I was able to nab this westbound with a rare EMD (over the BB anyway) leader when I was returning from a mission to secure some large landscaping rocks. It was a 5-set chase, but the crappy ones don't count - so it was only 3-sets. Along with 3 GE products and 220 empty coal cars, this nice SD70MAC will take on fuel at their next stop at Clifton Forge.

In winter over much of the continent, flocks of Juncos can be found around woodland edges and suburban yards, feeding on the ground, making ticking calls as they fly up into the bushes. East of the plains the Juncos are all gray and white, but in the West they come in various color patterns, with reddish-brown on the back or sides or both; some of these were once regarded as different species. The forms have separate ranges in summer, but in winter several types may occur in the same flock in parts of the West.
Most (including all northern) populations are migratory. The peaks of migration are in October and March/April. The winter range extends across southern Canada and virtually all of the lower 48 states into northern Mexico. Juncos are found year-round throughout much of the West, Great Lakes region, Northeast, and Appalachians, though these areas experience complete or partial turnover of individuals
The Dark-eyed Junco is similar to many other sparrows in its diet and foraging ecology. Winter diet is primarily weed and grass seeds but occasionally small fruits and waste grains; breeding-season diet is primarily insects and spiders, more or less in proportion to availability. On a year-round basis, the diet is usually about three-fourths seeds and one-fourth arthropods. Juncos employ a variety of foraging methods, including gleaning, pecking, and scratching. The species forms flocks, often numbering in the hundreds, outside the breeding season; these flocks are strongly hierarchical, with larger birds dominant over smaller ones and older birds over younger ones.

The Metekhi church is a cross-cupola church. While this style was the most common throughout the Middle Ages, the Metekhi church is somewhat anachronistic with its three projecting apses in the east facade and the four freestanding pillars supporting the cupola within. The church is made of brick and dressed stone. The restoration of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries mostly employed brick. The facade is for the most part smooth, with decorative elements concentrated around the windows of the eastern apses. Horizontal bands below the gables run around all four sides and serve as a unifying element. The north portico of the main entrance is not a later addition but was built at the same time as the rest of the church.
Legend has it also that the Metekhi cliff was a site of the martyrdom of Habo (8th century), Tbilisi’s patron saint. A small church in his honor is now under construction at the foot of the cliff.
The cliff is connected to the opposite, right embankment of the Mtkvari river, via a reinforced concrete bridge, which was constructed in 1951 at the place of the two older bridges. Unfortunately, a unique complex of various structures and buildings dating from the 17th to 19th centuries were destroyed during the construction of the bridge. Recently, the city’s government announced its intention to restore this part of historic Old Tbilisi as it was in the first half of the 20th century.
This is one of the many methods employed by the grizzlies to catch salmon. This method is pretty effective as it is seen to be employed by many of the larger, more mature bears.
The unsuspecting salmon don't see it coming and before they know it, they are in the claws and jaws of the bear and life as they've known it, is over.

Yale Lock - The pin tumbler lock (or Yale lock, after lock manufacturers Yale) is a lock mechanism that uses pins of varying lengths to prevent the lock from opening without the correct key. Pin tumblers are most commonly employed in cylinder locks, but may also be found in tubular pin tumbler locks (also known as radial locks).

"...employed in a speech by Abraham Lincoln before he became the 16th president: “It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: ‘And this, too, shall pass away.’ How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!”

Théodore Champion était le fils d'un employé de banque et d'une mère qui collectionnait les timbres-poste. Son frère Adrien et lui collectionnent également ces vignettes postales. Ils n'hésitent pas à fouiller les poubelles de la banque paternelle pour récupérer des exemplaires. On raconte qu'ils ont vendu leur collection pour une forte somme pour montrer à leur père sceptique le bien-fondé de leur entreprise.
Tout en pratiquant le négoce de timbres, il effectue une carrière de coureur cycliste. En 1894, il est ainsi champion cycliste de Suisse et remporte le Grand Prix de Genève .
Il s'installe à Paris en 1899 avec sa collection. Employé du marchand de timbres Forbin, Champion rachète en 1902 le magasin de la rue Drouot. Rapidement, il crée un bulletin de nouveautés où il propose en exclusivité les émissions de certaines administrations postales étrangères.
Il parvient à imposer la collection des timbres neufs quand les collectionneurs du début du xxe siècle les collectionnent oblitérés, c'est-à-dire ayant bien servi à leur office postal.
Il devient rapidement le plus important marchand de timbres parisien, et est élu membre de l'Académie de philatélie en 1948.
Depuis 1900 et sa rencontre avec l'éditeur Louis Yvert, il tient à jour les cotes imprimées dans le catalogue Yvert et Tellier. Après sa mort, Pierre Yvert et les frères Ladislas et Alexandre Varga rachètent son fonds de commerce pour fonder l'Ancienne Maison Théodore Champion. Les Varga, puis Jean, fils de Ladislas, continuent d'évaluer les cotes du catalogue Yvert et Tellier jusqu'en 2000 .

This was part of the recent Hans and Nora Heysen Exhibition, an amazing exhibition of two famous Australian artists in Melbourne. Hans Heysen was a German born Australian artist who was famous for his big landscapes especially in South Australia while his equally talented daughter was better known for her portraiture.
"'Petunias' demonstrates Nora Heysen's clear articulation of form and colour, highlighting her ability to capture the qualities and sensations inherent to her subject. The painting presents an immaculate arrangement of objects, arguably more real than reality, emphasising Heysen's poetic pursuit.
Artist Hans Heysen, who often critiqued his daughter Nora Heysen's work, noted her treatment of 'each flower being seen somewhat separately'. This aspect of the work is central to its modernist tendencies and distinguishes her work from her father's practice. Distinct forms and their rich colouring are intrinsic to the overall design of the painting. Aligned with this vision, the tablecloth and the chinoiserie backdrops are schematically employed by the artist as a device to create flat blocks of colour in the painting." www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/828/

Forced Perspective...... a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.
Batesian mimicry is a survival tactic employed by a relatively harmless species to escape potential predators by exhibiting the appearance of a harmful species. The hoverfly employs this tactic to look like a wasp, bee, or even hornet, and is often mistaken by people and predators alike. Being a true fly, it doesn't bite or sting. It can fly backwards and at the speed of 40km/hr. If this one doesn't look quite like yours, there are about 6000 members of the family so it might be a cousin.
Gardeners encourage hoverflies due to the fact that the larval stages prey on insect pests, and because they are great pollinators. The larvae can control 70 - 100% of the aphid population in their vicinity. They can switch on and switch off their reproductive abilities based on the odors given off by plants. Aphid-infested plants give off a certain odor that promotes reproduction, while uninfected plants will cause the flies to refrain from reproducing. The number of eggs a female lays at a time depends on the aphid population present at that site. The life span of this friendly and helpful insect is approximately one month.
I was employed by Bell Helicopter International as an inventory control specialist. BHI sold over 300 helicopters to the Imperial Iranian Air Force and Imperial Iranian Army. Pictured above is the Bell model 214 derived from the Bell UH-1 Huey.
The feeding technique most commonly employed by Snowy Egrets on the bayou is to wade near the reeds on the bank and stir up the water with their legs and feet, snatching whatever might shake loose. So this bird is thinking outside the box a bit in using the suspended branch as a fishing pole and attacking from above. More unusual, this is a first-year bird, distinguished by the yellow streak on the back of its legs. Where did it learn to feed like that?
I encountered this one at the end of an already productive morning as I got to the eastern edge of Bay Area Park, nearing my takeout point. Watching as it caught fish after fish, I was about a half hour late in deploying my own lunchtime feeding technique.
The Esterházy Palace at Fertőd is the greatest Baroque-Rococo monument complex in Hungary. On the site of the Palace, Duke Joseph Esterházy initiated the construction of a hunting lodge with twenty-two rooms in 1720, based on the plans of the Viennese architect, Erhard Martinelli. However, the golden age of the Palace began when Nicholas Esterházy (also known as Miklós ‘the Magnificent’) succeeded to the ducal title.
Utilising the grandeur of 18th century Baroque-Rococo architecture, Duke Nicholas enlarged the palace, and with the help of Nicolaus Jakoby; he created a large garden with several alleys. At the French Garden with an Opera House and a Marionette theatre and employed German theatre companies as well as Italian and French ballet dancers. The orchestra of the Palace led by Joseph Haydn the great musician and composer, the chamber composer and conductor at Eszterháza, was well-known all over Europe.
The second golden period of Eszterháza came about at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The suites of the Palace and the French Garden were restored for Duke Nicholas Esterházy IV. and his wife, Countess Margaret Cziráky. Enchanted by Eszterháza the Countess spent her dowry on the restoration of the palace and the gardens. The modernisation of the park started in 1902. Among the designers of the gardens was Anton Umlauft, one of the best-known gardeners in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
I employed all my best hunting techniques and finally shot* one of these birds.

DHL International GmbH (DHL) is a German international courier, package delivery and express mail service, which is a division of the German logistics firm . The company delivers over 1.5 billion parcels per year. The company was founded in the United States in 1969 and expanded its service throughout the world by the late 1970s. In 1979, under the name of DHL Air Cargo, the company entered the Hawaiian islands with an inter-island cargo service using two DC-3 and four DC-6 aircraft. Dalsey and Hillblom personally oversaw the daily operations until its eventual bankruptcy closed the doors in 1983. At its peak, DHL Air Cargo employed just over 100 workers, management and pilots. The company was primarily interested in offshore and intercontinental deliveries, but the success of FedEx prompted their own intra-US expansion starting in 1983. In 1998, Deutsche Post began to acquire shares in DHL. It reached controlling interest in 2001, and acquired all outstanding shares by December 2002. The company then absorbed DHL into its Express division, while expanding the use of the DHL brand to other Deutsche Post divisions, business units, and subsidiaries. Today, DHL Express shares its DHL brand with business units such as DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain. It gained a foothold in the United States when it acquired Airborne Express. The DHL Express financial results are published in the Deutsche Post AG annual report. In 2016, this division's revenue increased by 2.7% to €14 billion. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 11.3% over 2015 to €1.5 billion.
The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet. The 777 was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's 767 and 747, and to replace older DC-10s and L-1011s. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, with a first meeting in January 1990, the program was launched on October 14, 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype was rolled out on April 9, 1994, and first flew on June 12, 1994. The 777 entered service with the launch customer, United Airlines, on June 7, 1995. Longer range variants were launched on February 29, 2000, and were first delivered on April 29, 2004. 65685
Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, usually for sheet metal, and casting in the proportion of seven parts of the former to three of the latter. Such a combination secures a good, brilliant colour. There are, however, varieties of tone ranging from a pale lemon colour to a deep golden brown, which depends upon a smaller or greater amount of zinc. In early times this metal seems to have been sparingly employed, but from the Middle Ages onward the industry in brass was a very important one, carried out on a vast scale and applied in widely different directions.

The Egyptian Knowledge of Metallurgy and Metalworking
The Egyptians learned how to work metals from an early period, and all agree that 5,000 years ago, the Ancient Egyptians had already developed the techniques of mining, refining, and metalworking.
Ancient Egypt did not have several kinds of mineral ores, such as silver, copper, tin, lead, etc., even though they produced large quantities of electrum (an alloy of gold and silver), copper, and bronze alloys. The Ancient Egyptians used their expertise to explore for mineral ores in Egypt and in other countries. Ancient Egypt had the means and knowledge to explore for needed mineral ores, establish mining processes, and transport heavy loads for long distances by land and sea.
Because it being was largest and richest population in the ancient world, Egypt imported huge quantities of raw materials; and in return exported large quantities of finished goods. The Ancient Egyptians’ finished metallic and non-metallic products are found in tombs throughout the Mediterranean Basin, European, Asiatic and African countries.
The Egyptians possessed considerable knowledge of chemistry and the use of metallic oxides, as manifested in their ability to produce glass and porcelain in a variety of natural colours. The Ancient Egyptians also produced beautiful colours from copper, which reflects their knowledge of the composition of various metals, and the knowledge of the effects produced on different substances by the Earth’s salts. This concurs with our “modern” definition of the subjects of chemistry and metallurgy.

La Terrasse méditerranéenne et sa Schwanenbrunnen (fontaine des Cygnes) de l'île de Mainau, Land de Bade-Wurtemberg en Allemagne.
La Fontaine des Cygnes ou Schwanenbrunnen, autrefois appelée Fontaine aux oiseaux, fut construite en 1979 pour le 70e d'anniversaire du comte Lennart Bernadotte. Elle fut offerte par le directeur du jardin de l'époque, Josef Raff, des employés de Mainau et d'autres amis. L'élégante sculpture de bronze est l’œuvre de l’artiste Dr. Marianne Kisselbach (1913-2005).
L’île paradisiaque de Mainau, située dans le lac de Constance (ou Bodensee) et bénéficiant ainsi d’un micro-climat, est souvent désignée comme "L'île aux fleurs" ou "Blumeninsel" en allemand. De 1272 à 1806, l'île fut gouvernée par les chevaliers teutoniques, membres d'un ordre religieux et militaire, qui firent construire le château baroque édifié entre 1736 et 1746. Frédéric 1er, grand-duc de Baden en prit ensuite possession en 1853 et commença à y ramener des plantes rares de ses voyages et créa les différents jardins de l’île. On lui doit l'arboretum, le jardin à l'italienne, l'orangerie pour sa collection historique de citrus (exposée l’été dans la cour du château) et le parc paysager.
Le comte Lenhart Bernadotte (1909-2004), son arrière-petit-fils, membre de la famille royale de Suède et héritier de la passion familial de la botanique, a pris la relève en 1932. Il y résida l'été et s'occupa en permanence de la restauration du château et des jardins. Mort en 2004, ce sont maintenant ses enfants qui continuent son œuvre.

Snowy Egrets employ several different fishing methodologies, but this one is the most entertaining to me. They'll fly just over the surface of the water, dragging their feet in the water as they fly. I presume this both slows them down and riles up little fish. When they spot a fish, they stab their heads down into the water while maintaining flight. If they're successful, they'll give the fish a little toss and down the throat it goes (this shot). If fish are plentiful, they can down several small fish on a single pass across the pond.

136 Beverley St., the Italian Consulate. It was called ‘Chudleigh', and it was built in 1872.
The house is a fine example of the Second Empire style of architecture, a style that was popular between 1865 and 1880. Features of this style found in ‘Chudleigh’ are the steep mansard roof, the ‘tower’ portion of the house, and the asymmetry of the design.
This 35-room house was built by George Beardmore, a tanner from Chudleigh Devon England. It remained in the family until 1934. In 1937 it became the Italian Consulate. During World War 2 the Canadian government confiscated the property and used it as local headquarters for the RCMP. In 1961 it was returned to the Italians who used it as a centre for Italian immigrants before renovating it and turning it back into the Italian Consulate in 1978.
When George Lissant Beardmore first came to Canada in 1844, he set up a tannery in Hamilton Ontario. A few years later, this tannery was destroyed in a fire. Rather than rebuild in Hamilton, Beardmore built a warehouse in Toronto and bought a tannery in Guelph to supply the leather from which he made shoes. The Toronto warehouse, the Beardmore Building, was at 35 – 39 Front Street East and the building is still there today.
In 1967 Beardmore & Co. are the largest tanners of leather in Canada. Their buildings and properties cover an area of over 500 acres, including a tannery in Acton that Beardmore purchased in 1865. They employed about 600 people.

"The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones - that kind of thing is going to come to America," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in an interview earlier this month.
You can see why he is the commerce secretary - - -
Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant in China, a major iPhone manufacturer, employs about 200,000 people. This factory produces a significant portion of Apple's iPhone shipments globally.
(This is a long way from "millions and millions").
Apple does in fact use millions and millions of screws each year, (maybe Howard got screws and people mixed up).
