A light flurry of snow and a setting sun in the heart of The Cabrach, Scotland and cold too...... it was -1
Ducor, Ca.
Kind of reminds me of the entrance to a speakeasy. I've never seen an entrance to a speakeasy, so I'll just imagine it looks like this.
First Frontier Mechanized Cavalry, 28th division/1-110th RCT/K Company, the First of the 7th Cavalry, Vietnam era reenactors, the 99th Infantry division and the American Veterans Remembrance Association as they present a military encampment featuring more than 20 original Jeeps from the 1940s.
A preserved cabin where some poor souls tried to make an existence is the American Southwest. Seeing structures like this make you appreciate the hardships some pioneers had to endure.
Early explorers and pioneers made St. Charles their place of choice for shopping in the 19th century. Today, you can walk those same brick-lined streets, along the ten-block Nationally Registered Historic District, and shop in those same buildings. You will find unique specialty items, home accessories, jewelry, and many other one-of-a-kind gifts rather than pelts and barrels of nails. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift or just want to treat yourself to something special, there's something on Main Street to suit every taste. See our detailed map to help you explore Main Street.
For well over 200 years, visitors to St. Charles have been settling into comfortable accommodations along Main Street. Some of St. Charles' overnight guests have included explorers, pioneers, statesmen, and steamboat captains. While visiting St. Charles they would have eaten at local establishments like Eckert's Tavern, Farmer's Home Tavern, or The Western House.

We stayed in the Frontier Lodge on our visit to the Blue Duck Station. This Lodge has three units and a communal kitchen and dining area. There is no internet, TV or cell service, but plenty of things to do while you are there.
I was deep into the forest out by Little Creek tracking some juvenile bald eagles, then this little happy guy approaches me wagging his tail and flipping onto his back for a belly rub. I'm probably miles from the nearest house. He's got no collar but looks relatively well-fed and hydrated. He followed me around for a bit but then went on his merry way.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Rijnhaven, Terraforming, Machines (slightly cut from B & L)
As I wrote earlier, the Rijnhaven is being redeveloped. This harbour was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels (rijnaken), when during the winter these vessels could not operate due to freezing of the rivers.
After the creation of the harbour,the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase and the new Rijnhaven was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an important port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay and their cargo was directly moved to rhine ships. In de 70/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transhipment function and was brought back to its old function. In 2015, the rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbour.
It will be partly (30%) filled up (pure terraforming) to enable the realization of amongst others an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices, called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach. And there will be the floating Rijnhavenpark too here. Shown here are works for that park – in this case floating terraforming.
This is number 258 of Urban Frontiers and 296 of Rotterdam harbour and industry.

At the Italian-Austrian Border. Well, I always thought my Country is called the "Republic of Austria". Here I see only "Austria". It's like somebody calls you with your Surname: "Hey, Miller. Go and get me a Pack of Cigarettes!"
I love the blue Sky, but I hate this blue Sign...

Une vue à partir du belvédère du pont Alexandra qui relie Hull à la pointe de Nepean et au Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada situé au 380 Sussex Drive, Ottawa en Ontario.
À cet endroit, la frontière entre le Québec et l’Ontario se dessine au milieu de la rivière des Outaouais. À droite on peut voir le pont Alexandra ou le pont Interprovincial construit de 1898 à 1901.
Au milieu du panorama on reconnaît l’architecture caractéristique des deux pavillons du Musée canadien de l'histoire (Canadian Museum of History), anciennement Musée canadien des civilisations. Le bâtiment du musée a été dessiné par Douglas Cardinal, architecte autochtone réputé formé à l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique, et à l’Université du Texas à Austin. Le pavillon de gauche est surnommé le Pavillon du Glacier et celui de droite, le Pavillon du Bouclier Canadien. En effet, l'architecture de l'édifice est étroitement associée au paysage, de sorte que les deux se complètent sur le plan symbolique car l'immense complexe muséal présente des lignes gracieuses qui rappellent celles des collines de la Gatineau qui s'élèvent au loin. Par endroits, il est difficile de dire au juste où finit l'édifice et où commence le paysage.
Il s'agit du musée canadien le plus populaire et le plus fréquenté. Il est situé à Gatineau au Québec, dans le secteur de l'ancienne ville de Hull, sur la rive nord de la rivière des Outaouais. Il fait face à la colline du Parlement d'Ottawa et au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada. Sa vocation première est de recueillir, d’étudier, de conserver et de présenter des objets matériels qui témoignent de l’histoire humaine du Canada et de la diversité de sa population. Le Musée canadien de l'histoire administre aussi le Musée canadien des enfants, situé dans son enceinte, le Musée canadien de la guerre et le Musée virtuel de la Nouvelle-France.
