Ancient Smyrna (Ancient Greek: Σμύρνη or Σμύρνα)..... was an ancient city located at a central and strategic point on the Aegean coast of Anatolia. Due to its advantageous port conditions, its ease of defence and its good inland connections, Smyrna rose to prominence. The ancient city is located at two sites within modern İzmir, Turkey, as well as being its namesake. The first site, probably founded indigenously, rose to prominence during the Archaic Period as one of the principal ancient Greek settlements in western Anatolia. The second, whose foundation is associated with Alexander the Great, reached metropolitan proportions during the period of the Roman Empire. Most of the present-day remains date from the Roman era, the majority from after a 2nd-century AD earthquake. In practical terms, a distinction is often made between Old Smyrna, the initial settlement founded around the 11th century BC, first as an Aeolian settlement, and later taken over and developed during the Archaic Period by the Ionians, and Smyrna proper, the new city moved into from the older one as of the 4th century BC and whose foundation was inspired by Alexander the Great.
Interesting morning sighting, there were circling vultures so we went to investigate and arrived at the kill site just as a large lone male lion ran off into the bush as a large clan of hyena arrived.
The kill was a few hours old and it looked like the lion had had his fill. We sat and watched the hyenas come and go and squabble over the remains. Vultures turned up and were regularly chased away.
Other guests arrived and rapidly retreated, I think we spent a good 1hr 30 minutes at this sighting.

Daniel Bustamante, blacksmith and Deputy Sheriff killed alongside Sheriff Frank Vigil by the infamous Bronco Bill and Kid Johnson May 24, 1898.
The last great train robbery in the west took place in Socorro County in May 1898. The Santa Fe Express heading south was robbed by train robbers Bronco Bill (William Walters) and Kid Johnson (Bill Johnson Smith). They escaped with $50,000 in notes and coins After burying the coins they fled west. A posse rode out from Belen in pursuit of the robbers. Two of the posse members, Sheriff Vigil and Deputy Sheriff Daniel Bustamante continued to pursue the robbers even after other posse members had to turn back as their horses gave out. Vigil and Bustamante rode on into the Alamo Navajo Reservation and were joined by a group of Navajo men. The sheriff, deputy and the Navajo men still in pursuit arrived at Alamosa Creek where the outlaws were hiding. They surrounded the outlaws and called for them to surrender. The two outlaws seemingly complying stood with their arms at their sides and their rifles leaning against a tree some 10 feet away. The officers approached them but when they got to within 35 yards the outlaws grabbed their rifles ran behind some cottonwood trees and opened fire. Sheriff Frank Vigil and Deputy Daniel Bustamante unable to return fire and fell to the ground mortally wounded. Their handguns being no match for the outlaws ‘improved” Winchester Rifles. The other posse members recovered the bodies of Vigil and Bustamante and took them to the mining village of Santa Rita. They were both buried there in the cemetery. Vigil’s remains were later removed to be interred in Belen. Deputy Bustamante was left to rest in Santa Rita cemetery. As for Bronco Bill and Kid Johnson, Bronco Bill was eventually arrested, tried and given a life sentence. He escaped from prison, recaptured and then pardoned and set free. Kid Johnson was mortally wounded during his arrest. The money from the train robbery was never recovered.

Kill Bill
Pippa and I wanted to do a "Kill Bill" shoot.
I think she nailed it to perfection - clothes, look, intensity, pose - wonderful.
Pippa not only has the look - she is very athletic, fully trained in martial arts and has a black belt too.
We had great fun with this series of shots and the background music to the shoot was of course the soundtrack to "Kill Bill".
In this shot, her eyes seem to follow me everywhere!
Razul caught his second mouse this weekend. It's amazing how instinct takes over. When I approach him with the mouse he starts growling to indicate this is his kill.

An interesting note From "River Dweller" Perle
Perle has a river boat moored not that many miles upriver from here
Charlie Wallin (who built the Oscar W) was born in 1867 at Norrko-Ping, Sweden . He was the fifth son in the family and joined the navy He jumped ship in Australia as an eighteen year old and found work on River Murray Paddle Steamers and soon accumulated a small fleet . His Son Oscar was born in Yarrawonga in 1897 and died in WW1 - September 20th 1917.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The paddle steamer Oscar W was built in 1908 by Franz Oscar Wallin (commonly known as Charlie Wallin) at Echuca. He named the vessel after his son Oscar whom he no doubt hoped would continue his shipping business but young Oscar was killed in action in World War I.
At the time Oscar W was built, Wallin already owned the steamers Australien and Julia and the barges Adam, Federal and Impulse, he later went on to own a number of other vessels.
The OSCAR 'W' has been awarded a bronze medal for Heritage and Cultural Tourism in the 2010 South Australian Tourism Awards.
