I pretty sure these two prairie dogs were youngsters rough housing with each other. They spend 5 minutes restling and chasing each other around.

Virginia City, Montana
In 1863, life could not have been very easy in Virginia City, Montana, but when gold was discovered in Alder Gulch the lure of new found wealth brought as many as 10,000 folks in to participate in their share of the wealth. They came from far and wide, and it seemed no distance was too far to travel! And Virginia City became the center of one of America's richest gold mining areas. "The mining districts of Alder Gulch produced and estimated $50 million in gold, although some historians believe that number is too low, and place the total value at around $150 million." Make shift housing was built by the hundreds, and were barely enough to keep one dry in the summer, and warm in the winter, but they became home for the most hardy. And along with those who worked the rivers and streams and the mines lusting for their share of the windfall there came the bandits and the highwaymen who chose the less legal and less physical way to garner "their share of the wealth." Stagecoach robberies were common, and the risk was high for the travelers who chose that means of transportation, often with their pockets and bags bulging with the newly found precious metal. Fights, brawls, lootings, and even murders were common, and it finally took a dedicated group of vigilantes to quell the crime rate. And when the suspected criminals and thieves were found and captured there'd often be a short path to the gallows with no trial or lawyers to intervene.
Mining and exploration in Virginia City remained somewhat active for nearly a century after the initial find, but over time the yields became less and less. With time, the once booming area population of nearly 10,000 dwindled to what it is today. As of the 2021 count, the population of Virginia City had shrunk to 223 people. And with those few remaining folks lies the remnants and machines and surviving buildings from those boom times. Albeit considered still an active city, most today would considered it a ghost town, and by most standards, it is just that.

This Red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) was out looking for brunch, not shopping for a new house. It didn't seem interested in the two dead tree cavities, only the bugs it had to offer. Very wildlife filled visit to the Springfield Nature Center considering all the heavy equipment work.
Cavendish Road, a street in Markyate village (Hertfordshire) flanked by 1930s semi-detached homes. For "first-time buyers", this type of home used to be affordable and, therefore, the first step on the "housing ladder". In today's Britain, however, and in may parts of Europe in fact, young people are increasingly unable to afford the purchase of even small homes as prices have rocketed. Renting such homes is not only expensive, perhaps even more expensive than paying off a mortgage, it also prevents young people from ever getting on the housing ladder. Dreams and expectations remain unfulfilled. And for that, we all will have to pay a price. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35 (polariser).
Appartementencomplexen Armada
De gebouwen met bolvormige zuid gevel van roestvast staal en rode bakstenen achter gevel, liggen aan het water. Met het oog op licht, lucht, land en water heeft de architect en stedebouwkundige Anthony (Tony) Mc Guirk van Building Design Partnership deze tien Armada complexen aangevuld met een parkeergelegenheden onder de binnentuin. Armada is opgeleverd in 2005. Naast een aantal bekroonde werken op zijn naam te hebben staan en een design award in 2006, heeft Anthony (Tony) Mc Guirk tevens de architectuurprijs 2003 voor Armada in ontvangst genomen.

11 000 large scallop shells were used as roof tiles, with a further 4,500 crushed into aggregate for the building's concrete front patio. This summer refuge was constructed towards the end of the loop known as the 'Circuit des cabanes' in Limognes-en-Quercy, on the high plateau above the river Lot. Over 20 shepherd's huts and cabanes, along with many associated walls were restored by a talented team over a period of some 20 years. The quality of their work certainly deserved recognition and financial support, as the 'petit patrimoine' of the Occitanie is in much need of skill-set, raw material and chronophage purpose. The above building offers new lines and is the second example of modern refuge, or sleep-over point along the Europes main pilgrim's path to north west Spain. A second example - Super-Cayrou (linked below) - helps to add dynamic to the subject of dry stone. The above 'Pecten Maximus' project is not without interest, despite an entrance that perhaps feels closer to 'residential supplement' than rural practicality.

Hamra Housing. Looking up through some plants at a residential building in Hamra, Beirut, Lebanon. Shot with a Canon 5D4 with a 50mm lens.
This is a great location to take pictures of Half Dome. This view shows the meadow that has Half Dome on it East side. I looked online and found that this housing is for Park employees, but I'm not sure who qualifies to get them. What a view to wake up to every morning! Of course you could also watch the sun set with your favorite beverage.
