Chinese Checkers is a game in which players race each other to see who can fill their destination triangle with colored pegs first. While the game is neither Chinese nor Checkers, it's a fun tactical game invented in Germany but based on an American game called Halma. You can play the game with two to six players. Follow the original rules, or create some of your own to play a variation of Chinese Checkers.

This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.

Toplita-Borsec line, 8/03/1995. Expert opinion identifies the inspection vehicle (left) as a Russian ZIS-110, a luxury limousine, based on a Packard original.
The L45 to the right has cleared the line for a special. The inspection car has followed, picking up bodies, etc. (I was leaning out of the last carriage of the special).

I thought this would be a great candidate for high-dynamic range
processing, but I didn't like my HDR version much. The colors projected
onto the water would change fairly often, which the HDR software turned
into odd geometric patterns. The swirling mist didn't help much, either.
At least it wasn't pouring rain.
A windy day may have kicked up some red dust reflected in this lenticular cloud. What is unusual is that this red color occurred 75 to 45 minutes before sunset. This image was taken about an hour before sunset on 20 Jan.
A Razorbill keeping company with the Guillemots at Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire.
When I took this photo just over a week ago, there were thousands of guillemots on the cliffs and on the sea. On my last session they had all gone back out to sea again. No doubt when I go on Sunday they will all be back. Quite unpredictable creatures are guillemots sometimes.
Credit must go to the patience of Mr A; I collected him from the airport, then forced him to take his trousers off and participate in mutual laser therapy when all he really wanted to do was go to bed.
For those of a nervous disposition, those are not sausages, nor even euphemistic sausages but Mr A's hands.

The dark part of this cloud and the hook appeared to be on the same level. The hook did not appear to extend downward. The winds were blowing from the southwest and this cloud was moving south east (left to right in the image). The view here is almost due north (north by northeast).
Wood ducks look strange when they change from their pretty breeding colors into their drab summer (eclipse) colors. But this duck is stranger still. It has both male & female characteristics. Not a juvenile, they have dull olive color bills. Male traits here are that colorful bill that remains even in summer and the colorful head crest feathers. Female traits are the brown eye instead of red, the shape of the white outlining the eye and the lack of a white chin strap going up the neck. Males keep the red eyes and white chin strap even in the summer.

B&LE 908 is seen paired with WC SW1500 1564 at Stevens Point WI on this bright February afternoon. The 1500s are on their way out being replaced by heavier GP38 types.
Up close, bitterns are just as strange and mysterious as when they are barely visible through distant reeds.
This one was just off the auto-tour road at Ridgefield NWR and I had a good, long look at it -- and I'm still not sure if it's a real thing or not.

Happy Wing Wednesday! I found this odd leaf-footed bug on a milkwort, Polygala curtissii, in Chatham County, NC (USA) on 28 September 2020. It then dropped down onto lichen-covered ground, where it was very well camouflaged. It is a...

First time I got a HST with one Red powercar at one end and one Blue one at the other. 43320 is the odd one out as it leads the 1B69 1745 Nottingham - London St Pancras International. Seen passing Thurmaston 17/7/20. (Taken using a pole)
We went for a ride on the lake in the bombardier. So far this year we don't have much snow, but there is a good two feet of ice.
Lots of folks were out ice fishing and even driving their cars on the ice. There are no snowbanks so you can drive right onto the lake.
Coop and I found these on a rare desert walk. I am told the little seeds will make your skin super itchy.
Clearing the fading bluebells from our garden is a big yearly task - but I found this white bluebell nestling in the shadows yesterday and couldn't bring myself to pull it up - so I took a photo instead. Hope you like it ! You can just see some of its blue companions in the background.
Have a wonderful weekend all my Flickr friends - thanks, as always, for your support and enthusiasm !
