Stairs lead up to the lower level of lower Wacker in Chicago. Below the busy city, stalagmites hang from the ceilings as pigeons roam the streets.
4472 Flying Scotsman passing the closed Holbeck High Level station running LE from Doncaster to Leeds Central to work 1X75 "The KWVR Centenery Special" to London Kings Cross 16th April 1967.
The engine had left Doncaster boiler leading but had travelled round the triangle from Wortley South to West Junctions to turn before arrival at Leeds. The signal on the gantry in the off position is not for 4472 but for the Class 110 on the left which is routed to the right towards Bradford Exchange.
The signalbox visible just at the end of the boiler is Holbeck South Junction which will close two weeks later with the commisioning of Leeds PSB when the layout here will be completly remodelled to access to and from Leeds City station and the closeure of Leeds Central.

From the first floor of a Norwegian factory used to make bone meal of dead animals. It was abandoned in 1995. The place is now ready for demolition and had a peculiar smell on the entire first floor... It has been found high levels of animal fat in the ground, as well as residues from the factory operations.

Florida Red-bellied Turtle - Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area, 3365 Taylor Creek Rd, Christmas, Florida
'Don't know how they do it, but the Eye's on these guys always seem to be level. Eye think it must have something to do with suppressing glare on the surface of the water where they do most of their looking.
But how does the eye orient itself?
Is it a conscious or subconscious muscle controlled mechanism?
Or,
does the eye "float" and it's simply heavier on the bottom side?
Or,
do they use visual input and consciously tilt their heads to reduce glare?
Only the turtle knows for sure,
that is is they're even conscious of it.

Grand Canyon National Park is working with area tribes and art experts to restore the Fred Kabotie murals and The rock art images, painted by Fred Geary, which have been damaged by water. The first phase of the project is being funded through a grant from American Express obtained by Grand Canyon Association.This grant will help with the evaluation, documentation and testing process that is a critical component of all historic preservation projects. The park intends to preserve the murals while remaining true to Mary Colter’s design. Over the next year, a conservation specialist will analyze and restore the murals with the help of students participating in an intern training program.
On January 1, 2015, the Watchtower was purchased from the concessionaire managing it and designated a National Park Service building. NPS plans to return the Watchtower to its intended purpose, as a tribute to the Native American tribes who have cultural ties to Grand Canyon. The park is moving forward with plans to restore the tower to reflect Mary Colter’s original vision for the building.Visitors first enter through the large, open Kiva Room. Until recently, this room was filled to capacity with a large gift shop. The gift shop has since been removed from the rotunda and reduced to a much smaller footprint. The new Grand Canyon Association Park Store fits into the original space Colter envisioned for a gift shop: a corner off to the side of the rotunda. All the proceeds support the park.
Originally the Watchtower was designed as a space where visitors could see Native American craft demonstrations by weavers and basket makers. The park will bring Native American artists back into the space to share tribal traditions, dances, songs, skills, art and oral histories with the public. The park is also considering turning the old Desert View visitor center into a Native American cultural center.The transformation of the Watchtower back to its original intent is already proving to be a dramatic experience for visitors and park staff.

Having spent a couple of hours in a bird hide with nothing much to see except a nice kingfisher for 5 minutes. I decided to head home, dismantled the X-H1 from the 100-400 & 1.4TC, packed it into my bag and started the two mile walk back to the car. What's that Gull over there? - Hmm too much brown, ooo its an Osprey - knock off a couple of shots on the XT20 with 55-200, then a - rapid unpack and reassemble of the X-H1 to the 100-400 - knock off a few shots - seem fuzzy - thats because I had it on manual focus for the kingfisher on the perch - Ok - Continuous auto now on - just in time to catch the lovely bird take off after a failed fishing attempt - follow it with some more shots - oh-no - Lock-up!! - Knew I should have put in the 300mb/s cards instead of the 95s. Ok take battery out and put it in again - good to go for some more shots - this time of the now- two Ospreys overhead - I think I need to go lie down :)
