1Z29 Crewe to Glasgow Central. The Ayr Extention. LSL's Class 86 in Intercity Swallow livery heads north on the WCML with a charter to Ayr (Due to the fire damaged Ayr station the charter only went as far as Brassie Jn) seen here on the approach to Sheildmuir Station.
Tempio di Atena Pronaia - Tholos.
Esternamente, venti colonne doriche sostenevano un fregio con triglifi e metope.
La parete circolare della cella, la camera centrale dell'edificio, è stata anche coronata da un fregio, metope e triglifi simili ma in misura minore.
All'interno, una panchina di pietra era posizionata su cui si ergevano dieci pilastri in stile corinzio, tutti attaccati alla superficie concava del muro.
La combinazione multipla e la fusione di vari stili architettonici nello stesso edificio è stata completata attraverso un naturale effetto policromatico, derivante dall'uso di diversi materiali.
I materiali utilizzati includevano lastre sottili di Eleusino (chiamate "titanolithos") e marmo pentelico nella sovrastruttura e calcare sulla piattaforma.
Anche il tetto a otto archi dell'edificio era costruito in marmo ed era decorato rispettivamente da otto statue femminili scolpite in un movimento netto e vivace.
Temple of Athena Pronaia - Tholos.
Externally, twenty Doric columns supported a frieze with triglyphs and metopes.
The circular wall of the cella, the central chamber of the building, was also crowned with a similar but to a lesser extent frieze, metopes and triglyphs.
Inside, a stone bench was positioned on which stood ten Corinthian-style pillars, all attached to the concave surface of the wall.
The multiple combination and fusion of various architectural styles in the same building was completed through a natural polychromatic effect, resulting from the use of different materials.
The materials used included thin Eleusinian slabs (called "titanolithos") and Pentelic marble in the superstructure and limestone on the platform.
The eight-arched roof of the building was also constructed of marble and was respectively decorated with eight female statues carved in a sharp and lively movement.

The Blue Mountains are a mountainous region and a mountain range located in New South Wales, Australia. The region borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting about 50 kilometres west of centre of the state capital, close to the major suburb of Penrith. The public's understanding of the extent of the Blue Mountains is varied, as it forms only part of an extensive mountainous area associated with the Great Dividing Range. Officially the Blue Mountains region is bounded by the Nepean and Hawkesbury rivers in the east, the Coxs River and Lake Burragorang to the west and south, and the Wolgan and Colo rivers to the north. Geologically, it is situated in the central parts of the Sydney Basin. For about two-thirds of its length it is traversed by the Great Western Highway and the Main Western railway line. Several established towns are situated on its heights, including Katoomba, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, and Springwood.
The Three Sisters are an unusual rock formation in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, on the north escarpment of the Jamison Valley. They are close to the town of Katoomba and are one of the Blue Mountains' best known sites, towering above the Jamison Valley. Their names are Meehni (922 m), Wimlah (918 m), and Gunnedoo (906 m). The Sisters were formed by land erosion. The sandstone of the Blue Mountains was eroded over time by wind, rain and rivers, causing the cliffs surrounding the Jamison Valley to be slowly broken up. 11290
This is either the mouth of the Vermilion River or an arm of Crane Lake. Take your pick.
This region marks the southernmost extent of the boreal forest. Geologically, it's part of the Laurentian Shield. The waters flow into Hudson's Bay.
Basically, it's Canada.

Adult female Hoodeds have variablity in the extent of their hood with some having hardly any evidence at all of a hood (perhaps a hint of black just in the sides of the crown) and some nearly resembling adult males like this one. Apparently the amount of black in the hood does NOT correlate with the age of the spring female. Notice despite the amount of black in her hood she has plenty of olive throughout it as well. She was hanging around a singing male who was undoubtedly trying to woo her. I was fortunate to get this image as she moved about the shadows in thick vegetation. Thanks for your visit!
Tennessee. 4/29/2019.
As a neat exercise in identifying warblers by song check out this 9 second video clip and see if you can identify the 3 warblers singing. I recorded it about a week earlier in this warbler rich Tennessee location.
We are living in times of great destruction of the world as we know it, earth changes, fires, floods, earthquakes.
Here alone in Australia we sit in horror at the extent of the fires rampage across the country. Unprecedented fires and weather in the history of our existence (well what is on record)
Whilst horrific - the earth we live on has always been full of cyclic changes.
Ancient cities have been discovered under the sea, we are naive to think that the world as we know it will remain the same.
What continents exist now may no longer exist. What coast line exists now is slowly being swallowed up by the ocean.
Volcanic eruptions are changing the face of the planet as are earthquakes - the list is long.
We cannot stop the force of Mother Nature. We live on a planet that has always endured such destruction.
We have pole shifts taking place - all kinds of catastrophic events happening across the Globe. We are but a spit in the ocean to the wide Galaxies that we know of. Yet we think we are precious in some way.
I cannot help but wonder why I was so drawn to create this "Black Winged Goddess" let alone give her the name of Black Winged Goddess. But I was drawn, my soul was pushing me for weeks with a "slight vision" of what I needed to create. It now makes total sense to me why I was so drawn to create The Black Winged Goddess, given the state of our world and humanity.
My soul as always when I listen guides me with powerful messages and reminds me to just 'be' to accept 'what is'.
We may not like the current state of our world but it is what it is and all we can do is stay strong within ourselves and hold the power of 'love' in our hearts despite seeing so much being played out on the planet.
Kali (Hindu) - was known as a deity of the Fearsome Demon destroying Goddess who represents death and rebirth - so her name means "Black One".
We can never truly comprehend or understand the power of mother nature - we have abused her for centuries, taken her for granted and she is a living breathing consciousness so powerful that we dare not go up against here.
In recent years we have seen the influence of the feminine energy on earth which for eons has been dominated by the male energy.
So it makes complete sense to me that we are witness to so much destruction on the planet.
We are witness to the destruction of our societies as we know it, breakdown of families, law, politics.
So much of humanity is at war with the 'system', the injustices, and the lack of balance within our society. The homeless, the abused, the forgotten souls, the mental health issues that seem to have become rampant, the rise of Corporate wealth while humanity is trapped in slavery. We have learnt nothing as a humanity over the past how many hundred years?
In order for rebirth, for new growth, a culling needs to take place - hence the energy of the Black Winged Goddess she is both the Destroyer and the Giver of New Life.
We have elected to be here at this time on the planet - despite the suffering we witness or endure - I know at a higher level it is absolutely necessary for real change to take place.
Our world is a very different place to the one we have known - and whilst we have believed we have had a safe and reasonable planet in which to live, the reality is much Evil has existed and people have been brainwashed to the point of being zombies. There has been so much suppression imposed upon humanity even to the extreme of vaccinations and fluoride to our water supply. All of these chemicals act as suppressants to our brain! It has been a deliberate agenda of the existing power on earth. Their agenda has always been to rule, control and suppress the populous.
Humanity is awakening and with this will be uproar, dis - ease, a culling if you like. It is time for humanity to step out of fear and into their true power which is within each and every one of us.
New growth, new beginnings but not before the dismantling of the old - it has to be this way.
These times we are living through were written in history.
So I have created "The Black Winged Goddess" she is available in different styles, inside a Dome with beautiful etched glass or stand alone. She will rotate or can be static.
She is available on MP in the Stand Alone version (rotating) or can be seen in world at my store.
I hope you enjoy and embrace 'The "Black Winged Goddess' and rather be in fear of her - understand she brings 'New Life" but first the old has to die for the new to be born.
How appropriate for a New Year of 2020 fast approaching.
Interestingly and unconsciously I created 4 of these Black Winged Goddesses.
The year 2020 equates to the number 4 in Numerology.
The #4 represents a Universal energy. (see below for a deeper understanding of the #4)
The # 2 - Is the most feminine and often underestimated when it comes to power and strength. She is always gentle, tactful, diplomatic, forgiving and understanding. She likes to keep peace and likes to avoid confrontation. # 2 is the survivor and extremely resilient force. Her shape looks as though she is bent back on a knee with head bowed in humility and service. However when enough pressure is applied to the # 2 energy. Some would perceive her as weak and powerless due to this servitude shape. However never underestimate the power behind #2 because she represents the power (double) #1 who is the all powerful warrior who will shake and destroy no matter what. So #2 brings the balance but never underestimate the power of 2 Energy.
The #4 Energy in more detail
The 4 is without a doubt masculine, reflecting strength and stability. His chief characteristics are dependability, productivity, punctuality and obedience. He is trustworthy, patient, conventional and a traditionalist.
Tend to be rule followers. 4 is the area of sciences, upholding the law (such as Government and the military). The #4 represents Disciplined, systematic, Dependable, Strong. Loyal
Four is the basis of all solid objects. Four points are used in constructing the simplest solid and thus four is the number symbolizing the way of construction. In many religions, four is seen as the number for earth, and representing the four elements, Air Earth, Water and Fire.
At its extreme 4's can tend to overreact to violence.
So 2020 seems to have more challenges ahead and I suspect we will be seeing more uprising across the planet (#2 energy) with totalitarianism (#4 energy) being played out like never before. Perhaps more of what the world has witnessed in Hong Kong this year.
It is as if the two energies Masculine & Feminine are battling against one another. But at the same time I cannot help but feel and acknowledge UNITY - and this is what I will remain focused upon during the year ahead. We must stand united. We are after all 'one humanity'
We are without doubt living in very challenging times.
May peace be with you!

Wildlife photography is to a large extent about opportunities, those you seize, those you miss, those you don't even see.... Red-winged blackbirds for sure are offering plenty of opportunities on Vancouver Island for a large portion of the year. It is probably one of the first bird I photographed when I started wildlife photography a few years ago. It is ever since, probably the bird I photograph the most each year. Yet, I feel that there is always a better picture of a red-winged blackbird which needs to be taken. The temptation was great to present a "year-end exhibit" of all those red-winged blackbird pictures I have taken this year. You will be glad I refrained from it. Here are a few I like.

This one is not necessarily technically the best male red-winged blackbird photo I have taken but I like its artistic feel. It was a windy day and I barely got enough speed to get the bird in focus, the movement of the reeds in the distance created an interesting background.
Antarctica—the continent at the southernmost reach of the planet—is fringed by cold, often frozen waters of the Southern Ocean. The extent of sea ice around the continent typically reaches a peak in September and a minimum in February. The photograph above shows Antarctic sea ice on November 5, 2014, during the annual cycle of melt.
The image was acquired by the Digital Mapping System (DMS), a digital camera installed in the belly of research aircraft to capture images of terrain below. In this case, the system flew on the DC-8 during a flight as part of NASA’s Operation IceBridge.
Most of the view shows first-year sea ice in the Bellingshausen Sea, as it appeared from an altitude of 328 meters (1,076 feet). The block of ice on the right side of the image is older, thicker, and was once attached to the Antarctic Ice Sheet. By the time this image was acquired, however, the ice had broken away to form an iceberg. Given its close proximity to the ice sheet, this could have been a relatively new berg.

A collage of two images of the Moon and Venus taken minutes apart on April 28, 2020, to show the similarity in their phases this night, April 28, 2020. Both images were shot with the same focal length and camera and so are identical in image scale, to compare their apparent sizes. I have not enlarged Venus, but I have put a frame around it to emphasize that its image has been layered in as a composite.
The Moon was a 5.6-day-old waxing crescent this night, 32% illuminated.. Venus was at its greatest brilliancy, or Greatest Illuminated Extent, with a disk 38 arc seconds across and 27% illuminated, so slightly less.. But the Moon was closer in phase to Venus this night than it would have been the night before with a 5-day Moon. The Moon’s disk appears about 50 times larger than Venus’s.
Just to be clear — Venus was not this close to the Moon! I layered in the image of Venus taken after the Moon image, with both set in the deep blue evening twilight. Venus and the Moon were actually some 30° apart in the sky. But the composite illustrates their mutual phases and disk sizes.
Taken with the 130mm Astro-Physics refractor with a 2X Barlow lens for an effective focal length of 1600mm and with the Canon 60Da APS-sensor camera. The Moon image is the full frame of the sensor, uncropped. Both images are single short exposures at ISO 100.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but things have been a little "different" lately, right? Even my friends on the street have noticed.
Not all of them get minute by minute news updates like many people do. Nor do all of them understand the extent of what is happening. But it is affecting their lives too. There used to be plenty of traffic for Hillbilly to panhandle in. Now some mornings the neighborhood is like a ghost town. Many of the friendly businesses, pallet yards, recycling places, etc... are closed. No segment of the population seems to be unaffected.
But as I drop food, clothes, etc... off in the mornings (or tonight for Levita, Vera, and Squirrel), there is a level of respect. A hug or handshake has been replaced with a virtual elbow bump. Food gets handed out and I distance myself, and they understand my concerns. Nobody gets offended when I say "Sorry, I can't take ANY chances."
I'm not sure if they observe these new social rules amongst themselves, but I appreciate the fact that understand me.

This picture shows the extent of Gairloch Beach, it is a special place. We spent most of the afternoon on this beach and that is not hard to do. The dog you see in the picture is our own Bracken who loves coming to Scotland for his holidays.
This image just reminded me of this saying somehow as the Gibbon slowly removed bits off the top of the grasses.
He loves me, he loves me not or She loves me, she loves me not (originally effeuiller la marguerite in French) is a game of French origin[citation needed], in which one person seeks to determine whether the object of their affection returns that affection.
A person playing the game alternately speaks the phrases "He (or she) loves me," and "He loves me not," while picking one petal off a flower (usually an oxeye daisy) for each phrase. The phrase they speak on picking off the last petal supposedly represents the truth between the object of their affection loving them or not. The player typically is motivated by attraction to the person they are speaking of while reciting the phrases. They may seek to reaffirm a pre-existing belief, or act out of whimsy.
In the original French version of the game, the petals do not simply indicate whether the object of the player's affection loves them, but to what extent: un peu or "a little", beaucoup or "a lot", passionnément or "passionately", à la folie or "to madness", or pas du tout or "not at all."

Perhaps the finest example of late Martian temple art, the high alter found by the Remington party in 2219 is on exhibit in Mao Tai's Museum in Crimson City (courtesy of a grant from the New China government). Thanks to recent discoveries we now know the Martians worshiped certain frequencies of radio waves, gamma rays and, to a lesser extent, a sliver of the ultraviolet spectrum.
Venus as a morning star and at its greatest brilliancy (or illuminated extent) for this dawn apparition, shining at magnitude -4.9 in the dawn twilight. The star Spica is to the right of Venus. Taken from home on November 30, 2018, the day before the official day of greatest brightness. The waning crescent Moon off camera higher in the sky provides the illumination and the sparkles in the snow.
This is a stack of 4 x 10 second exposures for the ground to smooth noise and one 10-second exposure for the sky, all with the Nikon D750 at ISO 800 and Sigma 24mm Art lens at f/2.8. Orton glow effects added to the sky and ground with Luminar and Nik Collection effects. Diffraction spikes on Venus added with Astronomy Tools for artistic effect.

A secret spot on towards Port Renfrew. Another tide-charts and climbing gear took us to this spectacular spot! The best part... our footprints will always be gone with the next high tide.
This is also a great spot to test your skills with challenging light! I need to go back in slightly more optimal conditions, I managed to mitigate artifacts to an extent, but they still exist in this photograph.

To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.

The extent of the squalid conditions in the Sassi only came to international attention when writer Carlo Levi was exiled by Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime to a town close to Matera in 1935. In his book, Christ Stopped at Eboli, published in 1945, Levi described the horror he witnessed – the paltry furniture, children either naked or in rags, bodies ravaged by disease – and concluded: “I have never seen in all my life such a picture of poverty.”
It took a visit in 1950 from the Italian prime minister Alcide De Gasperi, who lambasted the slums as “a national disgrace”, to propel the government to take drastic steps that set in motion a chain of events which was to have a swift and dramatic impact on the city and peoples’ lives.
With money pouring in from the postwar Marshall plan, Gasperi put together what was initially considered an ill-conceived plan to evacuate all the inhabitants and move them to newly built homes in the outer areas of the Sassi. However, many residents struggled to adapt to their new homes – it was the first time many had seen water running from a tap, let alone a boiler.
