A Painted Lady, happily feeds, in the center of the bush, surrounded by the lovely and fragrant blossoms of the butterfly bush. A little hard for the camera to focus upon but the butterfly's antenna helped! LOL ;-) If you were a butterfly though, what is not to like about this scenario?! You would be crazy not to... :-))
For "Crazy Tuesday" theme of "In The Centre"
Have A Happy Crazy Tuesday! 😀
Located approximately 280 km (170 miles) north of Lisbon, the historic center of Porto was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[25] Among the city's architectural landmarks, the Porto Cathedral is the oldest surviving structure, along with the small Romanesque Church of Cedofeita, the Gothic Church of Saint Francis, remnants of the defensive city walls, and several 15th-century houses.
Note:
The Luiz I Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Luiz I),[2] commonly known as Dom Luís I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I), is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the river Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At its construction, its 172 metres (564 ft) span was the longest of its type in the world. It can be confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge, a railway bridge that was built 9 years earlier (and is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east), which is similar in aspect to the Luiz I bridge.
Located in downtown Richmond along the James River, the Historic Tredegar site is home to an award-winning 30,000 sq. ft. Museum surrounding the industrial ruins of Tredegar Ironworks. The building contains two galleries for exhibits (one permanent, two rotating) and has over 500 artifacts on display.
Founded in 1837, Tredegar Ironworks was one of the country’s largest industrials sites before the Civil War and the largest in the Confederacy, supplying about half of the artillery for the Confederate Army.
We located the tree of the nesting pair of Pygmy Owls yesterday. We watched her checking us out. The male was sitting outside for a bit. There was some chatter between the pair and she eventually flew out where she was greeted by her mate. The mating took place very high this time. Will return much later for the feeding when the babies hatch.
Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession.
Lier is a French commune that was granted city rites in 1212. It is located in the Flanders region of Northern Belgium. Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession. Belgian nationalists resisted a Dutch attack in 1830. Belgium has seen its fair share of war and occupation.
Destruction of Lier occurred as a result of bombing in Antwerp in 1914; however, many of the medieval structures survived including, the Gothic belfry, St. Gommarus’ Church and the béguinage.

Located in Cape Le Grand National Park, Esperance (Western Australia). Frenchman Peak was named by surveyor Alexander Forrest in 1870. The peak’s shape was thought to resemble the hats worn by French troops in the 1800s.
Mendenhall Glacier is a glacier about 12 miles (19 km) long located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles (19 km) from downtown Juneau in the southeast area of the U.S. state of Alaska. The glacier and surrounding landscape is protected as the 5,815-acre Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a federally designated unit of the Tongass National Forest.
Originally known as Sitaantaagu ("the Glacier Behind the Town") or Aak'wtaaksit ("the Glacier Behind the Little Lake") by the Tlingits, the glacier was named Auke (Auk) Glacier by naturalist John Muir for the Tlingit Auk Kwaan (or Aak'w Kwaan) band in 1888. In 1891 it was renamed in honor of Thomas Corwin Mendenhall. It extends from the Juneau Icefield, its source, to Mendenhall Lake and ultimately the Mendenhall River.
The Juneau Icefield Research Program has monitored the outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield since 1942, including Mendenhall Glacier. The glacier has also receded 1.75 miles (2.82 km) since 1958, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1500. The end of the glacier currently has a negative glacier mass balance and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.
Given that average yearly temperatures are currently increasing, and the outlook is for this trend to continue, it is actually possible that the glacier might experience a period of stabilization or slight advance during its retreating march. This is because increasing amounts of warm, moist air will be carried up to the head of the icefield, where colder ambient temperatures will cause it to precipitate as snow. The increased amount of snow will feed the icefield, possibly enough to offset the continually increasing melting experienced at the glacier's terminus. However, this interesting phenomenon will fade away if temperatures continue to climb, since the head of the glacier will no longer have cold enough ambient temperatures to cause snow to precipitate.
The US Forest Service, which manages the Mendenhall glacier says "because glaciers are a product of climate, they respond to climate change. The Mendenhall glacier has been in retreat since the end of the Little Ice Age in the 1700's. In a joint article for the Juneau Empire Geologist Cathy Connor and Geophysicist Roman Motyka, both professors of the University of Alaska said "climatic warming coupled with ice loss through iceberg calving are the reasons the Mendenhall Glacier is retreating and shrinking.
The retreat of the Mendenhall Glacier and other glaciers in the area is believed by some to be a result of broader retreat and breakup of the Juneau Icefield. The Juneau Icefield is the fifth largest icefield in North America. For many populations near glacial areas these glaciers are a source of fresh drinking water. Once these glaciers are gone the people relying on this fresh water will be out of their familiar fresh water source. For example, Anchorage is one of the most populated cities in Alaska and many people in this city rely on the Eklutna glacier for their freshwater. If the recession of this glacier continues they will be out of their main source of water. However Alaska has been receiving record snowfall in the last decade. Snow is the main factor that causes glaciers to advance.
Although there are many negative effects of the recession of the Mendenhall glacier and glaciers in general, there are also a few positive outcomes from it as well. With the recession of the Mendenhall glacier, the Mendenhall Lake has formed. The lake is a result of the runoff from the glacier and is increasing in size as recession continues. The lake began formation in 1931 and has continued to grow since then. The lake has its own unique ecosystem and is a popular location for sport fishing; fishers can find salmon and trout in the lake.
As of recently a new discovery has been made regarding the Mendenhall glacier and its recession. Within the past year, tree stumps and logs with roots and bark still attached have been appearing from under the glacier as it has been retreating. They are being found in their original growth position, preserved by what was believed to be a protective gravel casing covering them. By uncovering these tree stumps and logs, scientists are able to uncover information on the ecosystem's past, from a pre-glacial time. Scientists observing the area are able to determine how old the trees were when they died by looking at their preserved remains.

Located on Waggoner Riffle Road near the Edge of Appalachia Preserve. Captured this ruin after hiking the Joan Jones Portman Trail. Rural Adams County holds many gems.
Pine Tree Arch is one of several arches located along the Devils Garden Trail in the northeastern part of the park. It's found off a spur trail opposite of the Tunnel Arch viewpoint. Pine Tree Arch has a length of about 150 feet. It sits right on the desert floor allowing visitors to walk through it and admire it from inside - unlike the nearby Tunnel Arch which is an elevated window-style arch. Crystal Arch is. visible from the far side of the arch in the fins across the small valley.

Located at the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street, the Grand Central Café Bar is located in a genuinely grand central site, but doesn’t have a long history. It links what were two premises, 10 and 11 O’Connell Street, which have been a single building since the Munster and Leinster Bank acquired No 11 in 1926. No 11 was rebuilt by Benjamin Ball in 1824.
The buildings were extensively damaged in the Easter Rising of 1916, primarily by a shell from HMS Helga. No 10 was refurbished as a result in 1917.
The buildings played an interesting rôle during the Easter Rising. They housed at that time the Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy. With all telephone lines in and out of the city cut by the British authorities, on the second day of the Rising, 25 April 1916, the rebels sent the following message in Morse code thanks to one of their number, David Bourke, who was proficient in the art of telegraphy: “Irish Republic declared in Dublin today. Irish troops have captured city and are in full possession. Enemy cannot move in city. The whole country rising.”
Ships did receive the message and relayed it to the international press, although three days later the Rising would be crushed.

Yubatake located in the centre of Kusatsu is the major attraction of the hot springs town. Vapour or mist smelled very sulphuric and is amazing to see a large number of people so close to the source of a hot spring.
The oldest record of Kusatsu Hot Springs date back to 1472.
It was frequently mentioned in the 16th century as a place to cure wounds of war lords such as Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信 1530−1578), Takeda Shingen (武田信玄 1521-1573) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉 1537-1598).
It became well known internationally after the water was recommended for its health benefits by Erwin von Bälz, a German doctor who taught medicine at Tokyo University in the 19th century.
Although I am not personally convinced of the health benefits, it is true that when you soak in the hot spring water, the sulphuric acid dissolves your dead skin cells making your skin much smoother ^_^;

Located 15 miles southwest of the town of Shiprock, New Mexico is a unique towering, bird-like volcanic rock formation that can be seen for miles in all directions. Shiprock, as this mighty sand-colored column was named by Anglo settlers, is known to the Navajo as “Tsé Bit’ a’í”, or rock with wings. The peak is 7,178 above sea level, and is at the center of three volcanic pressure ridges that pushed the rock skyward millennia ago
