Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are shooting Fork Art, because Ruthlesscrab spotted that, on this day in 1864, the Great Sheffield Flood devastated parts of Sheffield, England, when the Dale Dyke Dam broke as its reservoir was being filled for the first time.
Ruth points out that Sheffield's famous cutlery-making trade was first mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, and Sheffield – aka “Steel City” – was once the steel-making capital of the world.

The original photo was dark and the background wasn't balanced. So I did some photoshop. Changed the overall colour to have green tint.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this wonderful plant on my way to Hail, in the north of Saudi Arabia.
The world is full of new things. This gives me a great deal of pleasure.
Things like this strengthen my belief in the Creator who created all these wonderful things. Praised be Allah, the One and Only.
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ وَأَلْقَىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ (10) He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs.
هَٰذَا خَلْقُ اللَّهِ فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ ۚ بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ (11) Such is the Creation of Allah: now show Me what is there that others besides Him have created: nay, but the Transgressors are in manifest error. [Qur'an 31: 10-11]
Here's one from last May. A BNSF eastbound grain empty XINBANV902 rolls across Montana Rail Link's Bridge 57 over the Clark Fork River just west of Trout Creek, Montana. At least the sun was trying to peek out.
The lower South Fork is seen through the afternoon haze. Castle Rock sits near the South Fork of the Shoshone River southwest of Cody Wyoming. Castle Rock is an erosional remnant of volcanic dikes that intruded into the sedimentary country rock. Explorer, mountain man and trapper, John Colter, passed this landmark in 1807 while exploring the wilderness that was to become northern Wyoming. He is believed to be the first European-American to visit this feature. The volcanic dike, as well as the nearby stacked lava flows, flow breccias and debris flows that makeup the mountains behind Castle Rock are part of the Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup. This group of igneous rocks are the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago.
We stopped here on a little rock outcrop to eat lunch before the last half mile down to the S Fork trail and the final 3 miles out to the car and a shower. Our spirits were high and I was looking forward to the aspen groves and willow flats where we might encounter a moose (it didn't happen). Instead, the clouds piled up and by the time we reached that distant clearing we had our last serious thunder storm. Totally exposed in an open meadow we had to ditch our packs again and find refuge in the brush to wait it out. We actually had pea sized hail. It passed fairly quickly and then we began to meet up with happy Sunday day hikers along the way. It was good times and big smiles from all!
Clipping right along at track speed, Montana Rail Link’s 844 local crosses the Madison River on a small steel span as it makes its entrance to Three Forks, MT. The crew is working their way west from Logan via the 5th Subdivision switching industries along the way.
Although not a very good shot - I wanted to show how similar the African Fork-tailed Drongo is to the Aussie Spangled Drongo. Day 1 Kruger National Park, South Africa - late afternoon
