Excerpt from the Houston Chronicle June 30, 2021: "A new American legend has landed at the Houston Zoo. Meet Mae, a bald eagle named after Mae Jemison – the first Black woman in space. A Texas game warden found the bird with an extensive wing injury in East Texas during the February freeze. Experts from wildlife rehabilitation facility Last Chance Forever and the Angelina Animal Hospital worked tirelessly to heal her, but they were unable to fix the wing. That meant they weren't able to release Mae into the wild. Instead, she was transported to the Houston Zoo, where she will live for the rest of her majestic days paired nicely with another grounded bald eagle named Sally – after Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. Sally was brought to the zoo under similar circumstances years ago.'
Way yonder a tired horseman on a tired horse is moving
through the shreds of mists. Out of another age he comes,
a quartermaster, a silent herald of miserable war to
come.
There is always something sad about a lone horseman
from another age moving through the mists, especially
at dusk.

Excerpt from christiansfeldcentret.dk/en/the-town-the-houses/tyrstrup-...:
The church was built in the period from 1862 to 1863 and replaced the former Romanesque church from the 13th century. The new church had been designed by the Royal housing inspector L. A. Winstrup, who designed several churches in the villages of the region.
Even though the church is relatively new, compared to many other Danish churches, it is worth mentioning that it is very characteristic both on the outside and on the inside. The altarpiece is made by Jes P. Schmidt while the motif on it was painted by A. Dorph in 1863.
In the church, elements of the former church have been preserved such as the baptismal font from the 13th century, which is made of granite with formalized ornamentation. The parish clerk’s seat has been constructed of six slightly shortened pew chair ends, two from 1662 and four from 1686. Their origins are from the chairs of the minister and from the farmhouse of Tyrstrupgård.
Outside the church, there is a monument towards the south in memory of the parishioners, who fell in the First World War.
The entrance towards Haderslevvej features the beautiful entrance portal, which is made of portals and ashlars from the former church. Some of the other ashlars from the former church have been used as footing stones for the new church building.
Excerpt from “A Short Walking Tour of the Yates Street Heritage District”:
127 and 129 Ontario Street is an interesting double house constructed in 1874. The architect chose elements from all of the most popular architectural styles to create a unique design. The entrance mouldings are distinctly Classical with projecting cornice, frieze and columns. Additional classical features include the dormer windows, parapet along the roofline, and gabled projections. The gingerbread moulding along the gable edges, however, has been taken from Gothic Revival architecture. The roof style, called mansard, is a common feature of the French Regime style. The windows have curved tops, typical of the Italianate style.

The Main is the longest tributary of the Rhine. It rises as the White Main in the Fichtel Mountains of northeastern Bavaria and flows west through central Germany for 525 kilometres (326 mi) to meet the Rhine below Rüsselsheim, Hesse. The cities of Mainz and Wiesbaden are close to the confluence.
The largest cities on the Main are Frankfurt am Main, Offenbach am Main and Würzburg. It is the longest river lying entirely in Germany.

Mixed Signals by Scott McKay
“We’re putting this structure in over by King Street, at the entrance to the park. It’s called Mixed Signals, and the theme on that one is railway signals. It looks like a collection of different kinds of railway signals – lights and crossed arms and things like that.”
“It will be 15 feet high,” McKay added. “It resembles more the signage and signalling associated with the railroad. It will be a 10-foot pole and the top five feet will be adorned with many different signals. I’m fabricating all the signals. I’m not re-using ones. I’m mimicking them if you will. I’m using glass lenses in them and I want the light from behind to illuminate and not rely on an energy source.”

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Nine Mile Point Lighthouse is accessible by the island's only main dirt road, Nine Mile Point Road, Built in 1833 by master stonemason Robert Matthews, the lighthouse is one of the earliest examples of an "Imperial" lighthouse in North America. In continuous operation since it was completed nearly two centuries ago, not only is the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse the oldest active Canadian lighthouse on the Great Lakes, it has the distinction of being one of the oldest active lighthouses in the entire Western Hemisphere.
For most of its nearly two centuries of service this lighthouse was operated and maintained by light keepers some of whose descendants still live on the island. The light was automated in 1987 and today, in addition to its role as an active lighthouse, it serves as a memorial to the many lives lost and ships sunk off its shores in the "Graveyard of Lake Ontario", including Comet, a paddle steamer from the United States, Aloha, a 171-foot (52 m)-long vessel, and Effie Mae, which collided with Aloha.

Upper Rosseau Falls is a medium sized roadside falls in Muskoka District. It is very easy to visit, and close to many other waterfalls. It may get a bit thin in the summer.
Upper Rosseau Falls is located on Highway 141 about 7 km east of Rosseau. This is much steeper than the lower falls, but not as interesting in my opinion. The falls is on the south side of the highway. There is a small roadside park on the north side. The park consists of little more than a parking area. You can see the top of the falls from the road, and a rapid above the falls.

High above the racing Niagara River, you'll be transported through the air in an antique cable car. Far below, the torrent of water abruptly changes direction and creates one of the world's most mesmerizing natural phenomenon - the Niagara Whirlpool. Sometimes frightening and always unforgettable!

Port Sydney Falls: In a textbook example of a slide-class waterfall, here the Muskoka River forms a wide natural water-slide over an inclined formation of bedrock.

Excerpt from www.stthomas.ca/living_here/parks__recreation_and_propert...:
The first publicly owned park in St. Thomas, Waterworks Park originated in the early 1900s as a small area around the Public Utilities Commission's, (PUC), pumping station and water treatment plant. About twenty-five acres, (10 hectares), not needed for waterworks purposes were retained as a place of recreation for the citizens of the city and district. Once a tangled willow swamp, the PUC developed beautiful water gardens to the north of the plant beginning in 1932. These gardens exist to this day, being cared for by City of St. Thomas Parks Division since 1969.
To create the park's tranquil setting and natural appeal, five thousand plantings of brilliant flowering annuals among ornamental shrubbery, surround the neatly tended lawns, banks and unique bridges.
Be sure to watch for Waterworks resident Kingfisher, Blue Heron, Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.
Waterworks emphasizes the quieter forms of family recreation. You'll enjoy a pleasant stroll across arched foot bridges which join a chain of tiny islands where water lilies, goldfish and other wildlife are found swimming amongst exotic water lilies.
A trip to the top of the hill on the east side of the park reveals an attractive view of the valley and the dam which creates a beautiful reservoir where you can stretch out on the bank and drop a fishing line or have a picnic while surrounded by acres of reforested banks and highlands.
To the south, Waterworks provides a large playground, a splash pad open in July and August and picturesque nature and ski trails. Two roomy reservable shelters among cooling shade trees are part of the fine picnic facilities within the park. Beautiful colourful flowers arranged across spacious lawns and the splendid rustic characteristics of Waterworks Park make this an artist's and photographer's delight and a favourite site for wedding pictures.
