To see the rhinos, you need to ride on elephants. It is an experience which is hard to forget. Image in the first comment section.
The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), also called the greater one-horned rhinoceros and great Indian rhinoceros, is a rhinoceros native to the Indian subcontinent. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, as populations are fragmented and restricted to less than 20,000 km (7,700 sq mi). Moreover, the extent and quality of the rhino's most important habitat, alluvial grassland and riverine forest, is considered to be in decline due to human and livestock encroachment.
The Indian rhinoceros once ranged throughout the entire stretch of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, but excessive hunting and agricultural development reduced their range drastically to 11 sites in northern India and southern Nepal. In the early 1990s, between 1,870 to 1,895 rhinos were estimated to have been alive. In 2015, a total of 3,555 Indian rhinoceros are estimated to live in the wild. – Wikipedia

One final look at Charles Island before heading back, it's been a good morning seeing Silver Sands at extreme low tide.
Some days the sunset clouds line up in unusual directions.... in this case about 90 degrees from the angle that would be more common that time of year. Alas, it seems winter has arrived here this week..... at least it chased away the Colorado fire smoke we had the past few days.
I was driving by the Matsqui DND Base and I thought I saw an Eastern Kingbird. I turned around and only found a couple Robins and Starlings. I went elsewhere and came back and found two Western Kingbirds on the fence line on the northeast side, Fore Road.
When D&H ran on the Northeast Corridor. N/B train WR7 (Washington, DC to Rouses Point) is passing by tracks leading to Conrails Orangeville engine terminal.
A sun rarely seen this winter shines over a surreal Dreamkeeper Pond, which is fortunately still here, in Northeast Ohio.
What a difference a day makes. After crystal clear blue skies we awoke to low dense clouds. Stopping at a marina for a few shots I was stunned to see a couple of boats venturing out. It was a very different kind of beautiful day in coastal Maine
Northumberland is England’s northernmost county, and it sits right on the border with Scotland. It’s historical hot property, a land long fought over by kingdoms and invaders – evident in its many castles, citadels and the 2,000-year-old Hadrian’s Wall.
City buildings in Aberdeen, 10 April 2022.
Construction of this building, Marischal College, commenced in 1835 (or 1837 depending on source) on a site occupied since 1593 by Marischal College and University of Aberdeen. Since 2011 it has been leased by Aberdeen City Council. It is the second biggest granite building in the world, exceeded in size only by Palacio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain.
Some 250 kilometers northeast of Kunming, the capital of China's Yunnan Province, lies Dongchuan, a rural area with the world's most imposing red earth. Spread over vast terraced fields, Dongchuan’s unusual brownish-red color comes from its rich deposit of iron and copper. Exposed to the warm and humid climate of Yunnan, the iron in the soil undergoes oxidization to form iron oxide which is naturally red in color. These oxides, deposited through many years, gradually developed into the extraordinary reddish brown soil seen here today. Every year during spring, when this area is ploughed for agriculture, a large number of visitors and photographers come to see squares of freshly upturned red earth waiting to be sown along with areas of budding green plants. The fiery red soil juxtaposed with emerald green barley, and golden yellow buckwheat, against a blue sky produces one of the richest color palate rarely seen in nature.
An Amtrak PTC Extra heads east on the Northeast Corridor passing the former Attleboro Tower. The lead unit, Non-Powered Control Unit 90213, is a former Amtrak F40PH which has certainly pulled trains on this section of track in its former life.
Offered once again as a comparison to the preceding image of Amtrak 662 which was captured at nearly the same angle over 23 years later. Amtrak 916 leads a regional consist east through Edison, NJ. Based on the time of day and consist, this may have been train 95, the Old Dominion. Back then trains still carried names, although the "Northeast Direct" designation (a precursor to today's Northeast Regional service) did appear in the timetable as well.
AMTK 916 AEM-7
Abandoned school on Stage Road, a half-mile from the historic Hat Creek Stagecoach Station, northeast of Lusk, Wyoming in Niobrara County.
I couldn’t find any information online about the school, but it must be old, with the water pump and the horse hitching post in the yard.
This was along one of the most dangerous parts of the Cheyenne-Deadwood stagecoach line, established when gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874. Highway robberies and attacks by Indians defending their land were common, and the Army established a small post nearby to protect miners traveling along the road.
After shooting the school, I saw some nice shots at the station, but unfortunately it started pouring rain.
Le rocher du Bock est un promontoire situé au nord-est de la Ville-Haute, le centre historique de Luxembourg, offrant une fortification naturelle à la ville, grâce à ses falaises rocheuses surplombant l'Alzette qui l'entoure sur trois côtés. Le Bock est l'emplacement où en 963 Sigefroid de Luxembourg établit son château et fonde l'actuelle capitale grand-ducale. Au cours des siècles, les fortifications ont été renforcées, détruites puis reconstruites au fil des attaques des burgondes, des Habsbourg, des espagnols des prussiens et des français qui se disputaient la forteresse de Luxembourg, l'une des plus stratégiques d'Europe. Ces guerres durèrent jusqu'en 1867 quand le traité de Londres est signé et appela à la démolition des fortifications. De nos jours, les ruines du vieux château et les casemates, les galeries souterraines des fortifications, subsistent et constituent un haut lieu touristique de la ville, faisant partie du secteur classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
The Rocher du Bock is a promontory located to the northeast of Ville-Haute, the historic center of Luxembourg, providing a natural fortification to the city, thanks to its rocky cliffs overlooking the Alzette which surrounds it on three sides. The Bock is the location where in 963 Sigefroid of Luxembourg established his castle and founded the current grand ducal capital. Over the centuries, the fortifications were reinforced, destroyed then rebuilt during the attacks of the Burgundians, the Habsburgs, the Spanish, the Prussians and the French who competed for the fortress of Luxembourg, one of the most strategic in Europe. These wars lasted until 1867 when the Treaty of London was signed and called for the demolition of the fortifications. Today, the ruins of the old castle and the casemates, the underground galleries of the fortifications, remain and constitute a major tourist attraction in the city, part of the area classified as a UNESCO world heritage site.
China, Harbin, City Impressions, Twin Bridges in a Park
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, with almost four million residents, located south of Heilongjiang. Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911 Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history. At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, done to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture.
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
Also the large Siberian Tiger research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does a important work to prevent this specie from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tiger.
