This giant moth has been sitting here on my front porch for days. My girlfriend looked up the name, it's quite a sight in person. More like an animal than an insect.
My mountain is far from being structurally finished, let alone scenicked, but you can see some of the essential elements. On both sides of the mountain are bridges that span mountain creeks. On the right is a girder bridge over a narrow creek that is structurally finished but lacks "water" and assorted rocks, soil, grass, and trees. On the left is a truss bridge that spans a wide creek that I have not even started carving. With the front cover plate temporarily installed (by pins stuck through the styrofoam), you can get a vision of a passenger train rolling through a tunnel and partly hidden from view.
Most model railroaders love tunnels, but real railroads build them only when necessary because they are expensive. Cheap tunnels constructed through modestly difficult terrain cost around a billion dollars a mile, and in real challenging terrain, they are not only long, but even more costly per mile.
The pine trees visible on the right rear and the grain elevator visible on the left rear are actually part of the prairie side of my layout and will not be visible after I install a photo background to separate the two scenes.

Yesterday I recognized that I lost my routine because of corona: taking a Photograph on our morningwalk. Thank you Laurarama for the Task :-)

Thanks to "Laurarama" for giving us quotes and Poems on our Way
“I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder. - Emma Watson
"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself."

National Museum, Tehran, Iran.
This modest museum is no Louvre, but it is chock-full of Iran’s rich history. Designed by French architect André Godard and completed in 1928, it’s one of the more attractive modern buildings in Tehran, blending Sassanian principles such as the grand iwan-style entrance with art deco–style brickwork. Inside is a collection including ceramics, pottery, stone figures and carvings, mostly taken from excavations at Persepolis, Ismail Abad (near Qazvin), Shush, Rey and Turang Tappeh. Unfortunately, the presentation of these treasures is less than inspired and the lack of useful explanations particularly underwhelming.There is some English labelling, and English-speaking guides are available, though you’ll probably need to wait for one.
It just happened that this red squirrel attacked the peanut feeder upside down with a fig leaf covering its private parts.
Is it Adam or Eve?
Sadly, at the end of July I am moving from this house so I will have to find other red squirrels to photograph!

My ageing phone is still doing a good job; though I am looking for an upgrade, it's unlikely to be an iPhone :) (See this large).
The model crosses her arms to maintain her modesty while gazing directly into the camera.

This jewellery-set was on display in a shop window in Shalalah ,Oman. It shows that the Omani women do like to decorate themselves well ,but as a visitor all I saw were women covered in black - was this underneath ??

A facade detail on the 36th Street in Hell's Kitchen near the corner of the Tenth Avenue.
Hell's Kitchen
Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton and Midtown West, is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City located between 34th Street in the south, 59th Street in the north, Eighth Avenue in the east, and the Hudson River to the west. The area provides transport, medical, and warehouse infrastructure support to the Midtown Manhattan business district.
Once a bastion of poor and working-class Irish Americans, Hell's Kitchen's proximity to Midtown has changed it over the last three decades of the 20th century and into the new millennium. The 1969 edition of the City Planning Commission's Plan for New York City reported that development pressures related to its Midtown location were driving people of modest means from the area, and the gritty reputation that Hell's Kitchen developed afterward kept real estate prices below those of most other areas of Manhattan until the early 1990s. Today, the area is gentrifying, and average rents in the neighborhood have increased dramatically so that as of April 2014, rents in the area are above the average rents in Manhattan.
The rough-and-tumble days on the West Side figure prominently in Damon Runyon's stories. Being near to both Broadway theatres and Actors Studio training school, the area has long been a home to actors learning and practicing their craft.

Going up a hill, for a modest amount of money paid to Chiltern Railways I can get a ride up into the Chiltern hills. I was on my way to my parents house and did not want to get all sweaty so the ride up to Amersham, the highest station on the london Underground network, I can get to the top on a train and coast down into Chesham at the bottom.
The bicycle I took has become a favourite, it is a Raleigh from 1975. Its all steel, heavy and very comfortable. To get the best from this bicycle I just ride a little slower than I would on a lightweight machine and it will roll on all day. I have found that due to the comfort on this old Raleigh I can ride further, I just don't need to stop for soreness and to stretch. I can ride as long as I want and get off with no soreness anywhere. This is an old style of bicycle Raleigh pioneered in 1903. These machines were used on epic rides around the Alps and accross continents back in the day. I can see why, when going lonig distances it helps to prioritise comfort. I can ride a drop handlebar lightweight bicycle and wear lycra if I want to but I don't. My lighweight bike has been in the shed for months, its just too full on for most things but it is fun to ride fast and storm up hills on. This old Raleigh has got lowered gearing and is good on hills, I just sit there and grind out the pedal revoloutions until I am at the top.
I rode home in the evening light, up and down hills. The ride was beautiful and I felt dissapointment when it ended. I am never dissapointed when a car journey ends. I often want to ride on thought he night and see where I get. This old bike was built fitted with dynamo lights, its brakes are self adjusting and it has a pump and tool kit, it can go on and on as far as I want to ride it.
The John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site, located at 83 Beals Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, preserves the birthplace and early childhood home of the 35th President of the United States.
In 1914 young banker Joseph P. Kennedy purchased this modest, 2-1/2-story residence in the Boston suburbs and moved into it with his new bride, the former Rose Fitzgerald, to start a family. Their eldest child, Joseph Jr., was born in Hull, Massachusetts, but his first three siblings, John, Rosemary and Kathleen were all born on Beals Street. Witthin a few years, the Kennedys quickly outgrew the residence and in 1921, when John was only 4 years old, they moved to a larger residence only a few blocks away, at the northeast corner of Naples and Abbotssford Roads.
Since that time, the Kennedy home has had various owners. In 1961 the town of Brookline marked it with a commemorative plaque. 4 years later it was designated as a National Historic Landmark. The following year, the Kennedy family purchased it for preservation as a historic site. The President's mother, Rose, supervised restoration and refurnishing of the first two floors to their 1917 appearance, and in 1967 the family donated the residence to the Federal Government.
A nine-room, clapboarded structure dating from 1907, the house has a gabled and dormered roof and a small front porch. The first floor contains a hall, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The second floor contains a hall, study, guestroom, nursery, master bedroom (where John, Rosemary and Kathleen were all born), and bath. The furnishings of these two floors are either original or other Kennedy family items, period pieces, or reproductions. The recorded voice of the President's mother describes the significance of each room. The third floor, originally a servants' quarters, contains an administrative office and is not open to the public.
A few other structures associated with the Kennedys are within easy walking distance of the national historic site including the John's second childhood home, where the family loved from 1921 until 1927, before moving to Riverdale in Bronx, NY. It was in this house that Mrs. Kennedy bore three more children--Eunice, Patricia, and Robert--and John spent his years from 4 to 10, during which time he first went to school, learned to love sports, and established a lifelong reading habit. Jean and Edward were born after the family moved to New York.
While they lived in Brookline, the Kennedys attended St. Aidan's Catholic Church, on Freeman Street, which has since been extensively altered. Joseph, Jr., and John were baptized there and served as altar boys. They also attended nearby Dexter School, a private, nonsectarian institution also on Freeman Street, but the school has moved to a new campus and the building in which they went to class no longer stands. Finally, on Harvard Avenue, is the public Edward Devotion School, which they attended for a short time before transferring to the Dexter School. In front of the former is the Edward Devotion House, a historic structure dating from the early 1700's. The Brookline Historical Society operates it as a museum.
