Really enjoyed these trees along the Gunpowder River that hang out over the water. I'm iffy on this comp but think it works as I wanted one of the trees up close and then the others far off leading towards the sunrise colors. The WB really warmed up nice as the rising sun painted the clouds over our heads.
Part of Sage Wyoming ghost town in Lincoln County, Wyoming.
There is not much left of Sage and based on some of the artifacts, it looks like it could have been abandoned in the late 1950's or early sixties. At least the place is appropriately named as it is totally overrun by several varieties of sage which seems quite vigorous and healthy here.
I haven't been able to find out much information about Sage but it was once an important town for both railroading and the Overland Stage which came north to Sage from Fort Bridger.
I believe but can't confirm that there was a "railroad war" around the Sage area in which two railroads had an armed conflict over the right-of-way. One of the railroad companies involved was said to be the Oregon Short Line and the other was perhaps the Union Pacific (now owned by Southern Pacific) since it is their right-of-way that passes Sage.
Sage lies at 6,332 feet AMSL, in the Sage Creek valley about 25 miles from Kemmerer, Wyoming, population 2656, and county seat for Lincoln County.
This is a currently active nest with at least two 2 eaglets and possibly a third, located in Cook County, Illinois. The nest has only been observed from more than 700 yards away, using binoculars and a camera with a 600mm lens, and cropping of the images. It is quite amazing to see how careful the adult eagles are as they walk around the nest to feed the eaglets.
*Enlarge the collage, then scroll over the bottom two photos to see a tiny eaglet, located just underneath it's mother's beak, as she leans to feed it.
"In March 2021, the US Fish & Wildlife Service published the report Bald Eagle Population Size: 2020 Update. In that technical update, the Service provided the newest estimates for the bald eagle population in the lower 48 states, totaling 316,700 individuals, which includes 71,467 occupied nests. This new population estimate shows that the bald eagle population has quadrupled in the lower 48 states since the last population estimate from 2009.
"To estimate the bald eagle population in the lower 48 states, Migratory Bird Program pilot biologists and observers from many Service regions, programs, and contract observers conducted aerial surveys over a two-year period in 2018 and 2019. The Service flew aerial surveys over high-density eagle nesting areas to generate accurate estimates and count occupied nesting territories.
"To obtain information on the lower density eagle nesting areas, the agency worked with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to use eBird relative abundance data to acquire information on the areas that were not practical to fly as part of our aerial surveys. Based on those two major sets of data for this population estimate, the Service next created an integrated population model to expand the estimates of the number of occupied nests across the plot area to estimates of the
entire population in the lower 48 states. Information on survival rates, productivity, and breeding rates provided the information needed to make this conclusion. The final result is an estimated population with 316,700 individual bald eagles now living in the lower 48 states."

Well, I have not posted a parish church for some time and to make amends here is the delightful United Reform Church of Port Sunlight on The Wirral.
Port Sunlight was a model village built for the workers at the soap factory of Lever Brothers, founded by William Lever. Christ Church was built between 1902 and 1904, and was designed by William and Segar Owen. The church was paid for by William Lever. It was opened on 8 June 1904. Originally a Congregational church, it later became part of the United Reformed Church.
In 1914 the Lever family vault was added as a memorial to the memory of Lady Lever.
Constructed in red sandstone from Helsby in Cheshire, and has a stone-slate roof. It is in the Gothic Revival style.
The plan consists of a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles with lean-to roofs, a southwest porch, a double north transept, a south transept, a canted chancel, a southeast tower and, at the west end, the Lady Lever Memorial.
It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building.
This photo was taken while travelling along the Icefields Parkway in southern Alberta, Canada (highway 93) from Banff National park and heading northwest. Here is pictured around Payto Lake.
An old decaying barn that is swaying to one side with only two wooden poles as its only hope for survival...so cool! Check out more photos of this place at ourruins.com/lean-to-barn.
Leuven’s Church of St. Gertrude has late Gothic choir-stalls with statuettes and twenty-eight reliefs portraying the life of Christ, of St. Augustine and of St. Gertrude. These are the seats of the front row on one side. As you can see, the turned-up seat had a misericordia, as they called it, against which the monk or canon could lean, to give him support while standing for long prayers or hymns. It was not unusual to carve fantastic figures of animals or grotesque devils on the misericord, or scenes inspired by stories or proverbs. At St. Gertrude’s they are mostly Biblical in nature, though the one on the right is St. Augustine giving alms to a poor man. The misericord next to it is a scene from the Book of Jonah. St. Augustine is depicted several times, as the church used to be part of an Augustinian abbey, which was founded in the early 13th century, before Saint Gertrude was born...
I was unable to get any more detailed shots, as access to the choir stalls was denied by a rope and by a gentleman who looked sternly in my direction when I leaned a little too far across the rope...;-)
The church is located next to Leuven’s lesser Béguinage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Location: Navarro Beach (Navarro Redwoods State Park) in Mendocino County, California.

This stage station window belonged to a lean-to attachment, probably added later, to the original log building. Perhaps the station agent (Peter Dinklage?) kept a watchful eye out for the arrivals. Did they have telegraphy available? I boogied all about in the newly fallen Valmont snow, first to the historic stage stop.
Here, under the snowy blanket, lies the early Boulder area pioneer town. I buzzed around the stage stop to shoot what I saw under the blanket of snow while eDDie slept in the vehicle as is normal for him. I caught several shots of the old stage stop in the snow in its state of collapse. Indeed, the dilapidated look of the siding of the original log structure was added siding. There were no logs in this addition. It was so early that the logs were hand squared by the efficient methods used at the time. I have watched logs being hand hewn and squared and was absolutely amazed by the speed that it can be done. I am shocked that this still exists; I bet boarding up the other windows hasn't helped preservation much. Did the station also lodge travelers? Valmont was the last stop on Boulder Creek of the wagon, stage then rail route to the budding Boulder gold fields. Certainly the area was a great spot for pasturing transportation horses. The water table is still 4-6 feet deep here. Boulder got it's start in 1858 but in 1865, the town of Valmont [contraction of “valley” and “mountain”] was platted; it wasn't one of those French half word for everything. It grew to directly rival Boulder in size and commercial activity as the key valley transportation point. The place is a bit of a pinch point in Boulder valley. The Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek confluence is directly west of here.
The rail line followed the early stage route through Valmont into Boulder. It was later the Boulder Valley branch of the Union Pacific. I still don't know if the old stage stop was refurbed into a rail station. Eastward in Erie, Colorado the coal fields must have supplied early Boulder City, four miles west of Valmont. An angry Longmont ponied up, starting their own coal-carrying rails into town. Follow Google maps just south of here, you will see the gondolas stacked up for the Valmont power plant; the talons of the Kochs have yet to be severed. The lines delivered coal before daDDy Koch was even born to rip his slice from the environment. The disappearing agricultural town and travel stop was here. See some of my other Valmont images. This must have been a busy spot when the stage had to start competing with the new rail route. Sometimes rail companies bought the rights-of-way from stage companies. Roads and rails were extended up Boulder Canyon into the foothills to mining camps. The foothills created a bundle of railroading problems so railroaders switched from standard to narrow gauge construction to deal with the sharp curves..
A well loaded liner leans to the curve as it races towards the Suffolk coastal port at track speed. This was recorded from atop the stile of the foot crossing, one of those due for the chop. It was busy with local dog walkers in the short time I was here.
The cleared lineside vegetation does provide a great clear view at the moment.
Well, I've been teasing you so I suppose it's now time to show you the finished project!
Early on in the pandemic people started leaving things on their front walls that they didn't need anymore. One day we saw two big pictures, so decided to bring them home. One of them I used to paint Harbie's portrait, but the other one we just hung in our bedroom for a while. Recently he fell down off the wall (held on by those sticky Command strips) and we never bothered putting it back up.
Earlier this year we had our leaky lean-to roof rebuilt so after many, many years of leaks we have a watertight lean-to (you can call it a conservatory but that makes it sound better than it really is!) - this is where I hang washing in winter and JJ keeps his bike. There is a downstairs loo too, which is used regularly.
Tim painted the lean-to and bought some nice near vinyl flooring and we agreed to put up the tiles we painted a few months ago. Tim left a gap for the large canvas, which I painted the English birds on! So here you are, our new art gallery!!
I stop, lean to my left a wee bit, and think. I then decide to follow the chicken across the road, on the off chance I will find out why he chose to cross (at least this time).

This, especially compared to my photo yesterday, is why I take so many photos of the same thing... Because they can be so different every time... And that makes it fun :)
Waiting to go to exercise class and enjoyed looking at the Bus Station lean-to. For the record the aperture was f8.

A semi-derelict lean-to on the edge of town with a shady olive tree ideal for a mid afternoon siesta....
RF243 leans to the curve of the Grays centre roundabout on route 371 on 12/4/71. This LC bus has managed to retain its cream outlined LT bullseye despite being under London Country management for over a year.
We arrived at the Grand Canyon just as the sun was setting and enjoyed the incredible views of the absolutely massive canyons.
We had to head over to our campsite as they were first come first serve and after driving around, the last one was just taken minutes before we arrived.
We ended up asking a couple if we could share the space that they had and they were more than welcoming.
After unpacking all of the tent stuff, we realized that we were missing one piece, the actual tent...
With several minutes of searching and realizing that we were indeed tentless, we decided to fashion a lean-to out of the slip cover that would go over the tent to protect from rain. The tree we found worked perfectly and everything was set.
I knew that I wanted to try and capture a frame with our lean-to and Polaris just happened to be perfectly placed for a star trail photo.
The lights going back and forth from the tent are from headlamps as we went back and forth while cooking our food. They are obviously messy but I loved what they conveyed about the photo.
Stacked using Starstax.

45116 leans to the curve at the level crossing at Little Bowden Junction Market Harborough. The train is the 14.25 Nottingham to St Pancras, probably.
45116 was built at Derby Works as D47, it entered traffic 30/09/1961. It was withdrawn 27/12/1986 and cut by Vic Berry at Leicester 01/09/1988.
