At one of the day excursion stops, we disembarked from our ship and were whisked up the river bank via this interesting looking funicular lift. Yangtze, River, CHina
Just after sunrise a huge flock of snow geese lifts off from the Wetland Roost in the Bosque del Apache refuge.
This was one of the rare occasions when I managed to capture an egret in flight. They are graceful, and quite fast flyers.
The trio pulls 7 empty flour cars out of the spur to Barilla Pasta in Avon, NY on January 2, 2025. After leaving the empties in the siding they would shove 7 loads down to Barilla.
An immature Bald Eagle takes flight near the Dr. Ted Kerpez Memorial Eagle Viewing Blind in Forestburgh, NY.
With the camera mounted at water level, pre-focused and fired by a remote release; it’s just a case of hoping the Kingfisher either dives or emerges within your depth of focus!
You know that feeling when the stars seem to align and yet you know that it is not meant to be?
An angel and a Mermaid, who would have thought that a love like that was possible when the only place you can meet is a thin line between the sky and the sea.
Even an Angel and a Demon has a better chance to frolic on earth, the in between of heaven and hell.
And yet, they seem to thrive...
P.S. It's always a creative explosion whenever I do a photo with Ji! Our photos always reflect our passion and completely hopeless romantic side with life and love!
Ji's so gorgeous version is on Primfeed !
A shot at another Hennepin Canal lift bridge,this near Wyanet,IL.It would have been so cool to watch these marvels in action...
A history of the Hennepin Canal in northern Illinois....
The Queensferry or Blue Bridge over the River Dee Flintshire North Wales. Built in 1926 and is a listed stucture, the lift mechanism was removed in the 1960s as ship traffic had ceased by then.
Up to recently Airbus A380 wingsets built at Broughton/Harwarden were transported past this spot by barge on their way to the port of Mostyn, with the production of the airliner now ending this will no longer be seen.
I took this yesterday morning (Dec 3rd) as the fog was lifting with a Canon 5Dmk2.

This image was captured just as the Harris hawk was lifting off to go further up the limb. Such a beautiful, strong and amazing species . Truly loved watching these beauties fly the skies !!
Wishing you all an awesome Thursday and a very blessed one !
A sketch of the Jubilee Bridge in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire and all my own work! Well I did take the original photo and then used the Huawei photo editor on my phone to produce this rather appealing sketch effect of the bridge. And don’t be led to believe that the bridges name is regarding the recent Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, it is in fact to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887 about 135yrs earlier!
Jubilee Bridge, is an iron bridge costing £230 and was placed in position on 14 June, 1887 in time for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria eight days later. It was an immensely significant event for the village as, until then, the only access to the Lovers' Walks on the other bank of the River Derwent had been by ferry. As it was being erected there was a minor drama …….
“ While workmen were engaged in preparation for the erection of the new iron bridge, one of their number missed his foothold and fell into the river. The Derwent at this point is rather deep, but a boat was put off to the man's rescue, and he was lifted in and conveyed to the bank, not much worse for the immersion”.
“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.”

(Train had dropped stone between Wickford and North Fambridge and was waiting for the possession to be lifted before departing)
One of the several remaining lift bridges left on the Hennepin Canal in Northern Illinois.Originally conceived in 1831,the canal did not open until 1907.By then railroads were beginning to proliferate and barges were getting bigger,which made the narrow canal almost obsolete by the time it opened. It closed in the early 1950's and later became the largest state park in Illinois.It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the architects who later designed the Panama Canal helped build the Hennepin Canal.
More on the canal and its history here:
The intense week-long fog has started to lift.
The utter silence of the frozen lake shrouded in fog was breathtaking....
May your days be bright!
