Khertvisi fortress is one of the oldest fortresses in Georgia and was functional throughout the Georgian feudal period. It is situated in Southern Georgia, in Meskheti region. The fortress was first built in the 2nd century BC. The church was built in 985, and the present walls were built in 1354. As the legend says, Khertvisi was destroyed by Alexander the Great.
In the 10th-11th centuries it was the center of Meskheti region. During the 12th century it became a town. In the 13th century Mongols destroyed it and until the 15th century it lost its power. In the 15th century it was owned by Meskheti landlords from Jakeli family. In the 16th century the southern region of Georgia was invaded by Turks. During next 300 years they have owned Khertvisi too.
At the end of the 19th century Georgian and Russian army returned the lost territories and Khertvisi became the military base for Russian and Georgian troops. Khertvisi fortress is situated on the high rocky hill in the narrow canyon at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Paravani Rivers.
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. It's a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes.
A rare lockdown venture out with the camera.
To be honest we were walking the dogs, so how nice was it to stumble upon a flock of some twenty, of these beauties.

I've never seen their little spaceships landing, but praying mantises are clearly visitors from outer-space.

Some west coast and Mexican power makes an appearance on a B&E Loaded Grain Train, as they’re seen here passing under the B&M lights at CPF-385 in Greenfield, MA.

For the Sliders Sunday Group. Base image created using Duck ai and processed using Photoshop and quad pencil.
I have been watching the old B&W western series "Wagon Train" on METV and found it interesting how our sensibilities have changed since it was a hit from 1957 to 1965 on first NBC and then on ABC. In a large number of the shows there is an American Indian on a hillside watching the train. The shots are always from the POV of the people on the wagon train. I thought it would be interesting to do an image from the other point of view and show what the Indians saw - invaders coming boldly into their territory. That is what inspired me to make this image for Sliders Sunday. .
A small flower from a plant growing curbside in Tucson, Arizona. The growth form was prostrate (similar to goathead); I think it might be redstem filaree Erodium cicutarium or something similar. Macro.
Early morning "moonset" at the Buckeye Municipal Airport. The first rays of morning light warm the face of this Douglas A-26B/B-26B Invader. While it has seen better days, it still has character. Unfortunately, the local pigeon population has not been kind to this old warrior.

On the old gate post at the church, I came across these Ladybirds (Lagybugs). Perhaps about a dozen of the familiar spotted adults, and several dozen of the younger, larval stages, and a few of the blacker ones (pupal stages?). I've never seen a gathering like this, and wondered why they had chosen this old timber in such full view. (Interestingly, there were greenfly wandering about among them.)
I hope someone will have a better description......
AND thank you SallyT for telling us they are foreign INVADERS -- the dreaded Harlequin Ladybirds --

To our amazement the local Starlings invaded our small garden while we were both sitting on the lawn :-) A female came too close to focus with my 500pf
Invading Japanese Beetles are covering the slowly blooming Hibiscus bushes at the park. Very shallow DOF. Have them in other areas, as well. Always some but they are everywhere, filling the inner blooms on some. Tried to get photos of a bee in another bloom but didn't turn out well. That bloom was totally wilted later. Hoping for more blooms and bees soon. Very hot and not much rain recently so not sure how they will do this year.
Space invader is back.
The pitch of the movie is the same as in round n°1 :
So I'm driving in the icelandic east fjords. Basically, I can't see a thing.
The cloud surrounding me is so thick the sunlight has become an abstract notion.
Until the next turn. From it and it seems magic, the sky is so clear that you should be able to see Pluto's tail.
Going along one of the fjords, I can now see the other side.
Except that I can't.
Another fluffly monstruosity is filling up the lower layers of the sky and most layers of emerged land.
That tells me that I should take my time going there, enjoy the sun for a bit, that if I couldn't see anything before, it must have come from quite some picturesque cloud if taken from the outside.
I really wanted to use some of those perler beads, and this is what I came up with. They're coasters, but I don't even remember the last time I used a coaster. I do, however, remember that the last time I used perler beads I was too young to handle the iron by myself.
The saucers are loaded and the forces are locked on and registered!
Who's going this year? I need to know who to bug and invade and avoid the silly "OMG you were there!?!? " game ....

To show the merger with the Milwaukee Road, Soo Line sent some Hiawatha SD40-2's to the Soo, like here at Schiller Park in 1985. Most Soo employees weren't thrilled to see these on the property because it was a sign of things to come when Schiller Park was closed as Soo's main yard in Chicago and operations moved to the Milwaukee at Bensenville.
I lived in a Soo Line household and Milwaukee Road was not a name to be mentioned.
