There are five species of red-billed hornbills generally recognized now, but all five were once considered conspecific. Some authorities still categorize the group as Tockus erythrorhynchus with the remaining four as its subspecies.
If considered as a species of its own, this would be the Tockus kempi. (Western Red-billed Hornbill)

The red-billed hornbills are a group of hornbills found in the savannas and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. They are now usually split into five species, the northern red-billed hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus), western red-billed hornbill (T. kempi), Tanzanian red-billed hornbill (T. ruahae), southern red-billed hornbill (T. rufirostris) and Damara red-billed hornbill (T. damarensis), but some authorities consider the latter four all subspecies of Tockus erythrorhynchus.

During incubation, the female lays three to six white eggs in a tree hole, which is blocked off with a plaster of mud, droppings and fruit pulp. There is only one narrow aperture, just big enough for the male to transfer food to the mother and the chicks. When the chicks and the female are too big for the nest, the mother breaks out and rebuilds the wall. Then both parents feed the chicks.
They are omnivorous, taking insects, fruit and seeds. They feed mainly on the ground and will form flocks outside the breeding season. – Wikipedia
The Sassenpoort (English: Sassen gate) is a gatehouse in the citywall of Zwolle, Netherlands. It was built in 1409 out of dimension stone, mostly trachyte and tuff, and restoration work was done in 1893-1898. The gatehouse is a rijksmonument and is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
History
The city of Zwolle experienced her highdays during the 15th century. It became a member of the Hanseatic League in 1407, and the city gates represent the wealth of this period. In 1893 the city government of Zwolle gave the Sassenpoort to the Dutch national government, as location to store the national archives. A function the building no longer serves. The building remains to this day property of the national government.
Building
In the period between 1893 and 1898 restoration work took place. The dormers were made, and a neogothic spire clock tower was installed, replacing an earlier 18th century spire. In between the corner towers is a machicolation. From holes in the floor of this outer work, boiling oil could be thrown at enemies.
National monument
The gatehouse is a rijksmonument since 13 February 1967 and is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites. The national building service classifies the gate as "category I". This category contains monuments of which ownership and preservation by the state is considered of extraordinary cultural historic importance. In order to prevent damage by exhaust gasses, driving under the gate has been prohibited since 2010. The gate now serves as a pedestrian road.
In 2006 TPG Post brought out a stamp in the series Mooi Nederland (beautiful Netherlands) with an image of the Sassenpoort.

About Zwolle
History of Zwolle
Archaeological findings indicate that the area surrounding Zwolle has been inhabited for a long time. A woodhenge that was found in the Zwolle-Zuid suburb in 1993 was dated to the Bronze Age period. During the Roman era, the area was inhabited by Salian Franks.
The modern city was founded around 800 A.D. by Frisian merchants and troops of Charlemagne. The name Zwolle is derived from the word Suolle, which means "hill" (cf. the English cognate verb "to swell"). This refers to an incline in the landscape between the four rivers surrounding the city, IJssel, Vecht, Aa and Zwarte Water. The hill was the only piece of land that would remain dry during the frequent floodings of the rivers. Zwolle was established on that incline.
On August 31, 1230, the bishop of Utrecht granted Zwolle city rights. Zwolle became a member of the Hanseatic league in 1294, and in 1361 joined the war between the Hanseatic League and Valdemar IV of Denmark. In the 1370 Treaty of Stralsund that ended the war, Zwolle was awarded a vitte, a trade colony, in Scania, then part of Denmark. Zwolle's golden age came in the 15th century. Between 1402 and 1450, the city's Gross Regional Product multiplied by about six.
In July 1324 and October 1361, regional noblemen set fire to Zwolle. In the 1324 fire, only nine buildings escaped the flames.
Zwolle was also, with Deventer, one of the centers of the Brethren of the Common Life, a monastic movement. Three miles from Zwolle, on a slight eminence called the Agnietenberg, (hill of St Agnes), once stood the Augustinian convent in which Thomas à Kempis spent the greatest part of his life and died (in 1471).
At least as early as 1911, Zwolle had a considerable trade by river, a large fish market, and the most important cattle market in the Netherlands after Rotterdam. The more important industries comprised cotton manufactures, iron works, boat-building, dyeing and bleaching, tanning, rope-making, and salt-making.
In World War II, Zwolle was single-handedly liberated from the Germans by Canadian soldier Léo Major. He was made an honorary citizen of Zwolle in 2005 and a street is named for him.(See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o_Major)
Blauwvingers (Bluefingers)
Citizens of Zwolle are colloquially known as Blauwvingers (Bluefingers). This dates back to 1682, when the St Michael's church tower collapsed. The authorities were strapped for cash and saw no option but to sell the church bells to neighbouring city Kampen. To make sure that Kampen would not make too much profit from the deal, the local authorities asked a high price for the church bells. Kampen accepted, yet after the arrival of the bells it became clear, they were too damaged to be played. In revenge, Kampen paid in copper coins of four duiten (the equivalent of two-and-a-half cents). Zwolle distrusted Kampen and wanted to be sure they truly paid the entire price. After the rigorous counting of this vast amount of money, their fingers had turned blue from the copper.

Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.

I never had much luck with the classic watchman viewpoint at Zion National Park. During our past two visits, there was a decent amount of rain near the park, turning the water muddy, which made for an interesting scene but not a classic photo. During this visit, I had high hopes, but after completing the Pa’rus Trail, I realized that the few clouds that were present earlier had completely disappeared. We still have a little bit of light on the Watchman, but that perfect image here still eludes me.

Which way shall I go from here? It is a cul-de-sac?

I guess it is cul-de-sac because, “The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.” by G. K. Chesterton

I have faith in Thomas Kempis who stated, “Without the way , there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living.”

As a landscape photographer, I like the idea of planning for a perfect landscape image. In fact, photo pills and the photographer’s ephemeris are the only two paid apps on my phone. Unfortunately, as a travel photographer, I rarely get to plan for the perfect landscape image. It is usually a lot of adjusting to the conditions. But so far, I have been unusually successful with moonrises and moonsets in my photography.
I saw this barn on our first trip to Mt Shasta on our way out of town. On our second visit, I couldn’t find the location. By our third visit, I had found the site and was ready, only to watch helplessly as a freak winter storm completely conceal the mountain for the entire time we were there. The fourth visit turned out to be the lucky one, I was right there at sunset, and it went perfectly except for the presence of any clouds, but the rising moon more than made up for it. The moon was rising a bit to the left of the ideal composition, so I made this shot into a stitched panorama of three shots while keeping the focal length at the long end of my 24-70. I liked how this image turned out especially the light on the mountain and the barn and the rising moon's surprise presence.

If you wish to learn and appreciate something worth while, then love to be unknown and considered as nothing. Truly to know and despise self is the best and most perfect counsel.
To think of oneself as nothing, and always to think well and highly of others is the best and most perfect wisdom. Wherefore, if you see another sin openly or commit a serious crime, do not consider yourself better, for you do not know how long you can remain in good estate.
All men are frail, but you must admit that none is more frail than yourself.

Excerpt from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis

Thomas BULL, born May 28, 1731, Providence Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; married (1) Ann HUNTER February 28, 1771 and (2) Mrs. Lydia CROWELL; died July 13, 1837, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He was a stone mason, made cannon and shot for the Continental armies, and was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Revolution, was captured in November of 1776 and held as a prisoner of war until May, 1778, when he, Ethan ALLEN, and others were exchanged. He was a delegate to the Pennsylvania Convention to ratify the Constitution, was a presidential elector in 1792 (1st election) and a state representative in the legislature. His children included Rev. Levi BULL.
Levi, born November 14. 1780. married March 31, 1808, Ann Jacobs, daughter of Cyrus and Margaret (Old) Jacobs of Whitehall, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, born March 15, 1789, and died July 10, 1858. He died August 2. 1859. Both are buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Warwick, Chester County, Pennsylvania
Levi Bull was born at Warwick Furnace, Chester County. Graduated from Dickinson College, in his seventeenth year, in October. 1797. He received decree of D.D. from Dickinson College, and on July 5,1804, from Alleghany College. He studied law under James Hopkins, ESQ., of Lancaster.
and while there was taken very ill, and his life despaired of. On recovery his attention wits turned to the ministry, possibly from the fact that his mother had prayed constantly before his birth that her unborn child should be a boy, promising if granted that she would influence him toward the ministry. He studied under the Rev. Dr. Nathan Grier and Bishop William White. He was ordained Deacon at Christ Church. Philadelphia, February 10,1805, and priest in the Protestant Episcopal Church, at St. Paul's Church, Philadelphia, February 16, 1806. He had charge of St. Mary's Church, founded in 1805, and one mile from home: of St. Thomas' Church at Morgantown, five miles away; of Bangor Church, Churchtown. nine miles away; of St. Gabriel'a Church, Morlatton, Berks County, eight miles away, and preached once a month at Pottstown, twelve miles from home. He preached often at Reading and Birdsboro, and he founded as offshoots of St. Mary's Church, the churches of St. Andrews of Vincent Township, and of St. Marks in Honeybrook Township, both in Chester County. For one year, in 1818, he was rector of Holy Trinity Church, Wilmington, Delaware. He was chairman of the Episcopal Convention, and it was by his influence, having himself declined the office of Bishop, the convention elected Rev. Dr. Alonzo Potter, Bishop of Pennsylvania. He was fond of horses and usually rode on horseback in all kinds of weather, until in his later years when he drove. He was spoken of as having had a horse which would pass all his parishioners if he desired. Having a large area of farms, he did not take any salary for church work, and his house was always open to his friends, who went long distances to see him. So he also went about among his people, whom he served until his death.

Southern red-billed hornbill photographed near the Chitabe Main Camp in Botswana.
The Red-billed Hornbills are a group of hornbills found in savanna and woodland of sub-Saharan Africa They are now usually split into five species, the Northern Red-billed Hornbill (T. erythrorhynchus), Western Red-billed Hornbill (T. kempi), Tanzanian Red-billed Hornbill (T. ruahae), Southern Red-billed Hornbill (T. rufirostris) and Damara Red-billed Hornbill (T. damarensis), but some authorities considered them all to be subspecies of a single species.
This group of conspicuous birds have mainly whitish underparts and head, grey upperparts, long tails, and a long and curved red bill which lacks a casque. Sexes are similar, but the female has a smaller bill. They are generally large, at 42 cm long, but the entire group are considered some of the smaller hornbills.
During incubation, the female lays three to six white eggs in a tree hole, which is blocked off with a plaster of mud, droppings and fruit pulp. There is only one narrow aperture, just big enough for the male to transfer food to the mother and the chicks. When the chicks and the female are too big to fit in the nest, the mother breaks out and rebuilds the wall, then both parents feed the chicks. Wikipedia
