Every fall, geese travel impressive 3,000 miles (4,828 km) from their nesting grounds on Wrangel Island in Russia to Skagit Valley, arriving in early October. About 12,000 birds spend the whole winter in Skagit valley and leave in early spring.

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.
The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon and snatches from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 4 m (13 ft) deep, 2.5 m (8.2 ft) wide, and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons) in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years.
Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The yellow beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown.
The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States of America and appears on its seal. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the contiguous United States. Populations have since recovered, and the species's status was upgraded from "endangered" to "threatened" in 1995, and removed from the list altogether in 2007.
The bald eagle has a body length of 70–102 cm (28–40 in). Typical wingspan is between 1.8 and 2.3 m (5 ft 11 in and 7 ft 7 in) and mass is normally between 3 and 6.3 kg (6.6 and 13.9 lb).[16] Females are about 25% larger than males, averaging as much as 5.6 kg (12 lb), and against the males' average weight of 4.1 kg (9.0 lb).

ENG: The Nauener Gate (in german: Nauener Tor) is one of the three preserved city gates of Potsdam. It was built in 1755 and is considered the first building of neo-Gothic style on the European continent. In 1755, i.e. 20 years before the actual beginning of neo-Gothic architecture on the continent, an architecture in Gothic forms was created with the Nauener Tor in Potsdam after a sketch by Friedrich II by the architect Johann Gottfried Büring. In 1867-69, King Wilhelm I rebuilt this gate into its present form.
Originally, a city wall connected the Nauen Gate with the other two gates, the Jägertor and the Brandenburg Gate at Luisenplatz. Instead of the city wall, which has not been preserved, a promenade now connects the three remaining Potsdam city gates. The Nauener Tor is located in the immediate vicinity of the Dutch Quarter. Its users were the military and traders, craftsmen and administrations up to the restaurant. The square in front of the Nauener Tor has been a popular meeting place for Potsdammers and their guests since the last renovation of the gate and redesign of the traffic management in 1996 with the high density of cafés, restaurants and bars. The tram tracks run directly through the Nauener Tor. In addition, there are only two other cities in the German-speaking area with such gate crossings, namely the tram in Freiburg im Breisgau and the cage tower at the Bern tram.
GER: Das Nauener Tor ist eines der drei erhaltenen Stadttore von Potsdam. Es wurde 1755 erbaut und gilt als erstes Bauwerk neugotischen Stils auf dem europäischen Kontinent. 1755, also 20 Jahre vor dem eigentlichen Beginn der Neugotik auf dem Kontinent, entstand nach einer Skizze Friedrichs II. durch den Architekten Johann Gottfried Büring mit dem Nauener Tor in Potsdam eine Architektur in gotischen Formen. 1867–69 wurde dieses Tor durch König Wilhelm I. in seine heutige Gestalt umgebaut.
Ursprünglich verband eine Stadtmauer das Nauener Tor mit den beiden anderen Toren, dem Jägertor und dem Brandenburger Tor am Luisenplatz. Anstelle der nicht erhaltenen Stadtmauer verbindet heute eine Promenade die drei noch verbliebenen Potsdamer Stadttore. Das Nauener Tor befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Holländischen Viertel. Seine Nutzer waren das Militär und Händler, Handwerker und Verwaltungen bis zum Restaurant. Der Platz vor dem Nauener Tor ist seit der letzten Renovierung des Tores und Umgestaltung der Verkehrsführung 1996 mit der hohen Dichte von Cafés, Restaurants und Bars ein beliebter Treffpunkt der Potsdamer und ihrer Gäste. Die Gleise der Straßenbahn führen direkt durch das Nauener Tor. Darüber hinaus gibt es im deutschsprachigen Raum nur noch zwei andere Städte mit derartigen Tordurchfahrten, hierbei handelt es sich um die der Straßenbahn in Freiburg im Breisgau und den Käfigturm bei der Straßenbahn Bern.

Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face, is one of the Batman's most dangerous and conflicted foes.
---
Two-Face was one of the easier characters to build for, in large part because of his simplistic suit design and large (comparatively) stature. That said however, his face was one of the most challenging aspects as it required me to build two halves of one head that spanned the width of 3 (and not 4) studs, while still being stable. Although not perfectly divided, I used a printed leg (Azog) and Ninjago stickers (among others) to help bridge the gap and even out the burns.
My Two-Face takes inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: Arkham City. His base is one of the collection's largest and it depicts an imploded courthouse.

Energy comes and goes through various beings, in different shapes and forms in order to find its purpose and place in the world.
Sometimes in form of a digital red rose on a special day.
Pay attention to the signs of life. Acceptance is always more pro-life than resistance.
Embrace your journey. Be friendly to the beings you encounter on it. Respect and love those who go the journey with you. It is meant to be like it. Accept your plan for your journey and do not forget to use your free will.

The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".
I was impressed with how balanced and symmetrical this pole and wires looked. Yet I'm sure functionality was their first concern.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday.

Hornbeam foliage forms a veil of green leaded like stained glass with black branches. For how many millennia has the sun illuminated spring leaves for eyes comprehending or otherwise? Just doing the math very roughly, it has been millions of mornings like this, and many thousands in recorded history. But how many of them do you want to see in your life? At this time of year, at similar latitudes, there is one continuous, glorious morning gliding around the planet as it revolves.
And who knows what beauties coalesce silently near where you live every week — enough that the message is the same: go outside! Quick!
There's time to fav this photo when you come back. 😁
