Local legend suggests that this bridge was started by Bishop Henry Cheyne in the late 13th or early 14th century and completed by Robert the Bruce. Whilst this may or may not be true, historical documents show that the bridge we see today was the result of rebuilding work in three phases in the early 17th century.
This was the main crossing on the Don leading to the north from Aberdeen and vice versa prior to the construction of the adjacent Bridge of Don in 1831. Today the Brig o’ Balgownie is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
A herd of dairy cows on farmland... somewhere between Churchinford and Otterford. At Taunton Deane in Somerset.
This is a Townsend's solitaire. It was seen on Sunday at Koll Center wetlands, and soon had attracted bird watchers and photographers to try to catch a view of it. I wasn't fortunate enough on Sunday, but did get to see it today - a lifer for me! Thanks to Keith Todd for calling my attention to the location!
Local people from all over the country gathered in Cusco city square to parade in their traditional costumes - very colourful!

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, at 8000 ft., provides one with an expansive view of the canyon, sky and the weather that passes through. Watching these storms was musical. As they say, "all politics is local", so too with rain!
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
These guys were busy mowing and again I noticed despite the noise this attracted several birds a kestrel a buzzard and a black-backed gull all seemed to be taking easy pickings from the ground, as always my shots of the birds were not worthy of posting but I still enjoyed watching.
SEWERAGE WORKS, a local capture, where there are flies, often many birds are found, and it was good to capture my first Chiffchaff of the year here. A tiny warbler that is perhaps best known for its onomatopoeic song "Chiffchaff, Chiffchaff !" The bill is thin and needle-like while the legs are black, it is mainly a summer visitor to the Southern half of the UK and mainly associated with mature deciduous woodland with a dense understorey of shrubs. Regret to say this bird was a bit over the top of me for a decent image.

THANK YOU for your friendship, enjoy the weekend, stay safe and well...................................God bless you Tomx.
The new era has begun on the Canadian National's Portland line in Quebec. A swing to full GMD's has taken about a year since my first visit to the area as seen at the "farm curve" between Waterville and Compton Station. The local out of Richmond has a healthy cut of lumber for the distributor in Coaticook on this day.

So 2023 has got off to a good start despite the incessant rain because I remembered to take my hayfever prevention - that being a teaspoon of local honey before my breakfast.👍
The local White Tailed Kites squabbling again.
I have heard of mass roosting of up to 29 Kites here. Today at sunrise I saw 11 kites in the air at one time, coming from the same direction. They were likely coming from that roost area. Quite a few of them flew directly off towards LLC.
