From the Jerry Seinfeld show, Jerry to Elaine, “See this t-shirt? Six years I’ve had this t-shirt. It’s my best one. I call him… Golden Boy.”
Lesser Tenrec Azizi, photographed with his cork tunnel. Tenrecs love tunnels for the darkness and to climb amongst, for much needed enrichment.
Photographed indoors in natural light, to keep him warm.
The gilded bronze statue of Matthew Boulton, James Watt and William Murdoch by William Bloye and Raymond Forbes-Kings stands on a plinth of Portland stone, outside the old Register Office on Broad Street in Birmingham, West Midlands.
It is known locally as The Golden Boys after its colour, or The Carpet Salesmen after the partially rolled-up plan of a steam engine which they are examining. They were most famous for improving and developing the steam engine.
Sponsored by an £8,000 bequest from Richard Wheatley in 1939, and £7,500 from the City Council, it was unveiled in 1956, from preliminary designs drawn up in 1938.
The statue was restored and re-gilded and replaced in its old position in September 2006. It is planned to be relocated; suggested sites including 'across the road' in Centenary Square or at Millennium Point in Eastside.
The blue sky is a great plain backdrop for the Manitoba's Legislature statue atop the building; the Golden Boy. I maxed out my camera zoom and so neat to be able to catch the sun shine and shadows. I always wonder when they wash this statue and how is it that it continually gleams.

Brilduiker ♂ - male Goldeneye duck (Bucephala clangula).
Pleased with this very rare duck close encounter.
The thrill of a safari is always one of the draws of the African savannah. The sun starts to rise, peeking up over the horizon of the valleys. Guests head out with sleepy eyes that quickly become vigilant as a breath of fresh air wakes them. The excitement builds of what is to come.
The leopard is the most elusive of all the big predators. They are well camouflaged making the sight of them even more rewarding.
Most leopards are light in colour with distinctive dark spots, called rosettes. The rosettes consist of groups of 5 to 6 spots arranged in a tight ring. This feline varies in size and colour depending on the location and habitat. Leopards are found all over sub-Saharan Africa. They occupy the grasslands that have trees in which they can hide and sleep during the heat of the day.
The very handsome "Golden Boy" was photographed during a photography safari and had been busy mating with Queen Kaboso during an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

The Golden Boy statue, carrying a sheath of wheat and a torch, facing north atop the dome of this magestic building is gold-plated bronze weighing about 3500 lbs, and measuring 17.2 feet tall. The statue was purchased from France in 1918 and placed in a ship's hold to be transported to Canada. But the ship was commandeered for service in World War I, and the statue stayed in the ship's hold until the end of the war making several trips back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean. It was eventually unloaded in Halifax Nova Scotia and made the approximately 4000 km trip by train to Winnipeg where it was placed atop the Manitoba Legislative Building on November 21, 1919.
I know I'm biased, but I think this is one of, if not the most beautiful provincal legislative buildings in Canada. And a truly fascinating building to explore both inside and out.
You can view a little teaser video about some of this building's mystery and mystique here:

Edinburgh University's Old College houses parts of the University's administration, the University of Edinburgh School of Law, and the Talbot Rice Gallery. Originally called the "New College", it was designed by Robert Adam in 1789 to replace earlier buildings.
Adam unfortunately died in 1792 with less than a quarter of the scheme built. W H Playfair was appointed in 1816 to complete the buildings. He reorganised Adam's scheme, which was completed around 1820. As funds ran out, the courtyard was never completed and paved.
Architects Simpson & Brown was approached in 2005 by the University to complete the scheme. Their historical research established that there were no original drawings, so the paving, in Hazeldean stone, was designed closely following the precedents of Playfair's other Edinburgh buildings. A central grassed area was also incorporated to soften the space, and make it more suitable for events and performances.

This statue is erected at the Manitoba Legislature in memory of the Holodomor in September 2014. Surprisingly, I had never heard of it until I was walking around the grounds of the Legislature.
This statue is a replica of the entrance of the Holodomor Memorial Museum in the Ukraine.
The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор, "Extermination by hunger" or "Hunger-extermination";[2] derived from морити голодом, "to kill by starvation"[3][4][5]) was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1932 and 1933 that killed an estimated 2.5–7.5 million Ukrainians, with millions more counted in demographic estimates. It was part of the wider disaster, the Soviet famine of 1932–33, which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country.

In honour of International Leopard Day, let me share some incredibly fascinating facts about one of the most sought-after members of the big five.
The leopard is the most elusive of all the big predators. They are well camouflaged making the sight of them even more rewarding.
Most leopards are light in colour with distinctive dark spots, called rosettes. The rosettes consist of groups of 5 to 6 spots arranged in a tight ring. This feline varies in size and colour depending on the location and habitat. Leopards are found all over sub-Saharan Africa. They occupy the grasslands that have trees in which they can hide and sleep during the heat of the day.
The very handsome "Golden Boy" was photographed walking straight towards our vehicle during an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

The African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) is one of the five extant species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range.
