Odin offers the völva his necklace and ring as payment for telling him the future. She then begins to inform him about the creation of the world, the first gods and people, as well as the end of the world – Ragnarök, when gods will do battle with giants. The seeress also describes how after Ragnarök, the all-destructive war, the world will rise again. But she also sees that evil will return to the world.

After an offer of a cab ride while they loaded the last half of the train, they blasted off from the loadout. I recall they said they very rarely saw railfans at the time. Seems I chased to the Cow Springs curve and opted to swing by Monument Valley that afternoon and end up in Helper UT that night!
Ford offered a 5cwt Van version of the Ford Model Y from 1932 to 1937 with the 933cc sidevalve engine. In 1936 Ford commercials adopted the name 'Fordson'. The Model Y was developed into the English-designed Ford 7Y 8hp in 1937 and a 5cwt Fordson Van was based on this model.

Summer in full bloom offers some of the most vibrant colour palettes of the year, and this field at the Cotswold lavender farm was an absolute feast for the eyes. The striking contrast between the deep, rich purple of the lavender in the foreground and the sweeping, golden-yellow sea of wildflowers stretching into the distance created a backdrop that was simply impossible to ignore.
While landscape photography often focuses entirely on the grand environment, adding a human element can transform a scene from a pretty postcard into a story. As this young girl walked through the rows, completely absorbed in the scale of the flowers around her, she reached out a hand toward the field. That subtle, candid gesture instantly gave the scene its heart. It creates a sense of scale and wonder, inviting the viewer to step into her shoes and experience the overwhelming beauty of the moment.
Framing the shot to balance the two bold blocks of colour—purple below, gold above—allows the eye to sweep naturally through the scene, leading directly to the figure in white. It’s a simple, quiet interaction between nature and curiosity, capturing that timeless, childhood feeling of being happily lost in a world of endless colour.
Elk Mountain offers sub-alpine vegetation, with superb views. It is moderately challenging year-round destination for hikers in the Abbotsford, Chilliwack area, and can be enjoyed in a half or full day excursion. In the distance is Sumas Prairie, part of the eastern Fraser Valley, with the Coast Mountain Range on the horizon.
I knew that moving from Florida, that I would miss the burrowing and barred owls ... but I also knew that Colorado would offer up its own variety of owls. I put a few of them high on my list, but probably none higher than the northern pygmy owl. See, I had never seen one before. Several times I had been looking without success. I figured that it would happen when I least expected it.
On this day, we went out in a desperate search to find one ... or perhaps a saw whet owl. No such luck. We had all but given up. As we were driving about, Amy said she saw something that was "too small" to be anything, but I had my binoculars with me, so I fugured why not stop and check it out. So glad that we did ... because we found this guy perched in the bare tree branches! Finally .... it happened and as figured, when we had all but given up for that day anyway.
I couldn't believe how incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing its eyes were. It was clearly not the least bit concerned with us. It would look around from its perch in its vicinity for prey. When it would turn its head we noticed its dots on the back of its head ... "fake eyes" if you will. Amazing!
So excited and felt very thrilled that it blessed us with its presence. :-)
So this week's blog post features this amazing owl, as well as some other birds from the winter in Colorado. Feel free to check it out if you like by clicking:

Aarti is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, a part of puja, in which light (usually from a flame) is offered to one or more deities.
Aarti is derived from the Sanskrit word आरात्रिक (ArAtrika) which means something that removes rātrī, darkness (or light waved in darkness before an icon).
December rule:

Even the snow here has personality. It crunches under her boots with such confidence that it clearly plans to stick around until March — even maybe April.
And somehow, without warning, she matches the whole scene perfectly.
Not planned. Not even a little.
But velvet and bows and soft winter textures just feel right in a place where magic has clearly taken over the décor department.

At the bustling intersection of Yonge and Dundas, a sea of pedestrians surges across the crosswalk, each person a fleeting story in motion. Towering buildings loom above, their facades plastered with vibrant ads and digital billboards that pulse with urban energy. Amid the visual noise, windows punctuate the architecture. These windows, both literal and metaphorical, offer glimpses into the city’s rhythm: a marketplace of attention, a canvas of consumption, and a mirror to modern life.
À l’intersection animée de Yonge et Dundas, une foule de piétons traverse la rue, chacun portant une histoire en mouvement. De hauts immeubles dominent la scène, leurs façades couvertes de publicités colorées et d’écrans numériques vibrant au rythme de la ville. Au milieu de ce bruit visuel, des fenêtres ponctuent l’architecture. Ces fenêtres, à la fois réelles et métaphoriques, offrent des aperçus du rythme urbain : un marché de l’attention, une toile de la consommation, et un miroir de la vie moderne.
After days of staring at screens and chasing deadlines, I needed a reset. So, I grabbed my camera and made my way to the rocky beach, hoping the sunset would offer something worth capturing. As I set up my shot, the sky was already shifting—warm tones spilling over the water, the pier stretching out like a quiet path into the evening. The textured rocks in the foreground added depth, framing the scene just right. More than just a photo, this was a moment to breathe—to slow down and take in something real before heading back to the noise of work.

Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco
Il est né en pleines Années Folles, entre 1922 et 1924 sous la direction de l’architecte Georges Wybo
Il a été érigé 60 ans après la création du Grand Magasin à la suite des incendies des Nouveaux Magasins Printemps Haussmann de 1921
Après une restauration minutieuse, faisant suite à une fermeture de près de 40 ans, il retrouve un rôle d’honneur au Printemps Haussmann,
C’est la seule structure du Printemps Haussmann en béton armé.
Elle est unique dans le magasin et offre une grande légèreté grâce à la succession de miroirs le long des murs latéraux.
L'escalier flottant : Il se caractérise par l'absence de points d'appui visibles. Les rampes sont délimitées par des ferronneries aux motifs géométriques courant au centre de la cage.
La rambarde en forme de P : Cette caractéristique souligne l'attachement du Printemps à son identité et s'inscrit dans une approche moderne de la mise en valeur
With its spectacular curve and its typical structure of the 20s, this magnificent heritage staircase located at Printemps Haussmann that responds to the rational lines of Art Deco It was born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, between 1922 and 1924 under the direction of the architect Georges Wybo It was erected 60 years after the creation of the Department Store following the fires of the New Printemps Haussmann Stores in 1921 After a meticulous restoration, following a closure of nearly 40 years, it returns to an honorary role at the Printemps Haussmann, It is the only structure of the Printemps Haussmann in reinforced concrete. It is unique in the store and offers great lightness thanks to the succession of mirrors along the side walls.
The floating staircase: It is characterized by the absence of visible support points. The ramps are delimited by metalwork with geometric patterns running through the centre of the cage.
The P-shaped railing: This feature underlines Printemps' attachment to its identity and is part of a modern approach to showcasing its heritage
This high-angle shot offers an intimate look at a twin cascade, where a mountain stream splits and pours over rugged, dark rock faces into a swirling pool below. The composition emphasizes the texture of the geology—lichen-spattered stones, jagged edges, and deep crevices—contrasted against the white, energetic froth of the water.
The fast shutter speed captures the "stop-motion" effect of the falls, turning the water into a crystalline spray. The surrounding environment is rich with temperate greenery, including mosses, ferns, and overhanging tree branches that frame the top of the frame, suggesting a secluded, hidden spot deep within a valley.

The summer time offers more light to chase the Manchester Turn out of Cedar Rapids, on duty 17:00 during the week. While traffic has really hit the dumps with the virus stuff going on, the Cedar Rapids corridor has stayed steady for the most part. Even enough traffic this week for a 2nd motor to find it's way to CR. With that being the case we chased the Friday night job out of town with a decent set of CN power. Here the job tops the grade near MP 6, a few miles north of Ryan as the shadows get long on their northbound trip. At Manchester 567 will trade trains with 565 who is working west out of Dubuque.
Often winter offers a silent and magical solitude. Winter, on this dune, along the lakeshore is peaceful and filled with most beautiful textures. I sat in the sun, amongst the drifted dunes and felt very well-balanced. This is not my home but rarely do I leave this place. Though I wander, this gifted place is never very far from my thoughts. Ever changing is the beauty that really is never complete here. Hidden here is a secret and sacred peace. You must come…..

This is the story of how the Great Constructor Trurl, with the aid of an ordinary jug, created a local fluctuation, and what came of it”...

The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any call for me to shout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore:
When you let him in, then he wants to be out;
He's always on the wrong side of every door,
And as soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about.
He likes to lie in the bureau drawer,
But he makes such a fuss if he can't get out.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any use for you to doubt it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast:
His disobliging ways are a matter of habit.
If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast;
When there isn't any fish then he won't eat rabbit.
If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,
For he only likes what he finds for himself;
So you'll catch him in it right up to the ears,
If you put it away on the larder shelf.
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle;
But he'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing,
For there's nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—
And there isn't any need for me to spout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And theres no doing anything about it! ~ ~ TS Eliot.
The Peugeot 404 is a large family car produced by French automobile manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975.
A truck body style variant was marketed until 1988.
Styled by Pininfarina, the 404 was offered initially as a saloon, estate, and pickup. A convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963. The 404 was fitted with a 1.6 litre petrol engine, with either a Solex carburetor or Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection or a 1.9 litre diesel engine available as options. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show as an option was the inclusion of a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, similar to the unit already offered on certain BMW models, as an alternative to the standard column-mounted manual unit.
Popular as a taxicab, the 404 enjoyed a reputation for durability and value.
The 404 was manufactured under licence in various African countries until 1991 (in Kenya) and was manufactured in Argentina by Safrar/Sevel in El Palomar; in Québec, Canada at the St-Bruno-de-Montarville Sociéte de Montage Automobile (SoMA) Ltd. plant (1965–1968); in New Zealand by Campbell Industries; in Australia by Renault Australia Pty. Ltd.; and in Chile by Automotores Franco Chilena S.A. in Los Andes. Peugeot's French production run of 1,847,568 404s ended in 1975.
A total of 2,885,374 units had been produced worldwide at the end of production.
As the model was designed by Pininfarina, the bodyshell is very similarly styled to the one used in the 1959 Austin Westminster.

Located in Cortes de Pallás, in the Umbría de Chirel, we find a spectacular hiking trail to the castle of Chirel. Although this place has a great landscape to offer, we are shrouded in a thick fog. The big advantage of the bad weather is that we don't meet anyone. We have the realm to ourselves. The first part is not that steep and is a fine path with grit and small stones. To my right I see a mountain in the mist, to my left a sloping abyss. There I could see beautiful views if the weather were not so gray. I can now mainly see the sides of my hood and in front of me about a meter or so, until my view is obscured by the fog. The dew on the hundreds of cobwebs in combination with the mist give a special atmosphere. Every now and then we stop for a moment to catch our breath. We fantasize about the beautiful view we could have now. You better laugh about it! When I look halfway across the forest it feels like I'm alone in the world. Suddenly I am startled by a Spanish ibex and he is startled by me. He quickly disappeared into the fog. It is closely related to the Alpine ibex.
The Castillo de Chirel is located above the El Júcar Gorge. It was a very important building and an important place for the strategic control of trade on the Júcar route. Dating back to the 15th century, there is evidence that this fortress was one of the most important in the area. The castle is well preserved and with its triangular layout, it conforms to the topography of the country. The fortress lent itself to defense both for its strategic location and for defensive features such as arrow slits and a moat on one side. Although the fortress has been destroyed in parts, you can still see the walls, the water tank and the main tower. There is a rock that rises nicely above the El Júcar gorge. Impressive thick fog and rich cultural heritage make this trail a unique experience.
Gelegen in Cortes de Pallás, in de Umbría de Chirel, vinden we een spectaculaire wandelroute naar het kasteel van Chirel. Hoewel deze plek een geweldig landschap te bieden heeft worden we gehuld in een dikke mist. Het grote voordeel van het slechte weer is dat we niemand tegenkomen. We hebben het rijk voor onszelf. Het eerste gedeelte is nog niet zo steil en is een prima te belopen pad met gruis en kleine stenen. Rechts van me ontwaar ik in de mist een berg, links van me een glooiende afgrond. Daar zou ik prachtige uitzichten kunnen zien als het niet zo’n grijs weer was. Ik zie nu vooral de zijkanten van mijn capuchon en voor me uit een meter of wat, totdat het zicht me wordt ontnomen door de mist. De dauw op de honderden spinnenwebben in combinatie met de mist geven een bijzondere sfeer. Af en toe staan we even stil om op adem te komen. We fantaseren het prachtige uitzicht dat we nu zouden kunnen hebben erbij. Je kunt er maar beter om lachen! Als ik halverwege uitkijk over het bos voelt het alsof ik alleen op de wereld ben. Plots schrik ik van een Spaanse steenbok en hij schrikt van mij. Snel is hij alweer verdwenen in de mist. Hij is nauw verwant aan de alpensteenbok. Het Castillo de Chirel ligt boven de El Júcar-kloof. Het was een zeer belangrijk gebouw en een belangrijke plaats voor de strategische controle van de handel op de Júcar-route. Het dateert uit de 15e eeuw en er zijn aanwijzingen dat dit fort één van de belangrijkste in dit gebied was. Het kasteel is goed bewaard gebleven en vormt zich met zijn driehoekige indeling naar de topografie van het land. Het fort leende zich voor verdediging, zowel vanwege de strategische ligging als door defensieve kenmerken zoals pijlspleten en een slotgracht aan één kant. Hoewel het fort in delen is verwoest, kun je nog steeds de muren, de watertank en de hoofdtoren zien. Er is een rots die mooi uitsteekt boven de El Júcar-kloof. Indrukwekkende dikke mist en het rijke culturele erfgoed maken dit pad tot een unieke ervaring.

I found this splendid specimen of a goat on my way back to the village from an early journey on my hunt for a beautiful sunrise when I passed a cute little farm.
The sunrise wasn't spectacular but, as you can see, this beautiful morning had to offer a lot anyway...
In 1911, Samuel P. Clark offered the board the site for the library, located at 15 Park Avenue West. It was valued at $2,500. There was a stipulation that the new building had to be well under construction within a year. First National Bank[4][5] donated a strip of land adjoining on the north and later Mr. Clark added a gift of $7,720 for the purchase of the lot to the east of the library property. The board was to remove an existing building and hire a landscape gardener to enhance the property.[2]
In 1913 the library building was completed at the cost of $23,000 and was designed by the Chicago firm Patton & Miller. The Women’s Club contributed $3,400 with the reservation that there be an assembly hall on the second floor for a meeting place until the amount of rent equaled their donation. The library’s collection had grown from 800 to 10,760 volumes.
The library was dedicated on April 15, 1913. It was 30 years after Nehemiah Matson’s death
For a subdivision that offers quite the views as a photographer, the Oregon Trunk sub in Central Oregon can also test the patience of photographers as train traffic averages less than 5 in a 24 hour period. With the lack of train traffic, the remoteness of this route between Wishram, Washington and Chemult, Oregon also gives negative affects to photographers as it's difficult to access most points because of private and tribal land along the 200+ mile route. If you're lucky to find one in the day time it sure can be a rewarding show to watch as they climb out of the Columbia River Gorge in Wishram, Washington to Chemult, Oregon which is the highest point of the line at 4765ft above sea level. Here a Pasco to Fresno, California manifest crosses the Crooked River just north of Redmond, Oregon enroute to Bend, Oregon for a crew change.
The Gwacheon National Science Museum offers a fascinating window into the Ice Age through its exhibition on the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius).
The display features an imposing reconstruction of an adult mammoth, which could reach 3.5 meters in length and 2.5 tons in weight, along with the characteristics that allowed it to survive in frigid climates, such as its dense fur and a thick layer of fat.
Alongside this representation, the jewel of the collection is the real skeleton of "TIMA", a young woolly mammoth. Discovered in the Omsk region of southern Siberia, this specimen was approximately 7 years old and measured 1.8 meters in height at the shoulder. A crucial detail confirming its authenticity is that the skeleton is composed of more than 80% real bone, making it a genuine specimen and not a replica. Its affectionate name, "TIMA," was chosen by the public in a contest and is a combination of the English words "Tiny" and "Mammoth".

The Woolly Mammoth is an extinct species of elephant that was widespread during the last Ice Age. A close relative of modern elephants, it was famously adapted to survive in the cold, harsh environments of the Pleistocene epoch. These adaptations included a body covered in long, shaggy hair, a thick layer of subcutaneous fat for insulation, and ears that were significantly smaller than those of today's elephants to minimize heat loss. Adults could stand about 3.5 meters tall and possessed enormous, curved tusks that could reach over 4 meters in length.
These massive herbivores roamed the vast, cold, dry grasslands known as the "mammoth steppe," which stretched across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their diet consisted of grasses, shrubs, and the branches of trees. While most populations went extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and human hunting, some small, isolated groups survived on remote islands until as recently as 4,000 years ago.
The historic city of Cuenca offers its best lighting to welcome a new night.
Literally built hanging over the rocks, the famous "Hanging Houses" are one of the most important landmarks of this beautiful city. In addition, Cuenca Cathedral, whose construction began at the end of the 12th century, with a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles, and the Mangana Tower, built during the 16th century, make this city a priority if you like ancient architecture.
Finally, the good gastronomy of Cuenca is also truly remarkable.
This is the sight that you can witness from the Mirador de Cuenca, next to the castle.

It’s difficult to close the door on the things that once made us happy, that offered bright promise during dark times. Things that helped us find love or hope or happiness.
But the hard truth is that not everything can last forever and things end; sometimes abruptly, sometimes fading away slowly until they’re just a speck disappearing in the distance. We can’t hold onto things forever, no matter how firmly we fix our grasp upon them. We can’t force people to stay and seldom can we control the situations we find ourselves in.
But what we can do is remember one simple, undeniable reality. And that is that new prospects will always arise from the end of something else. That it’s okay to let go of something that ends, even when it’s devastatingly painful. Even when it’s something that seems like it’s being yanked away from you before you’re ready. The ending of things will sometimes feel excruciating, even when we deep down know that it’s the right thing, the only thing.
Who has ever started something new, something exciting, without finishing something first? It’s only when we’re defeated by the prospect of something ending that we think to pull ourselves up and move forward. Life is a process, a series of ups and downs. A sequence of unpredictable happenings. It’s not black and white and most of the events that fill up the timeline of our lives are very rarely planned or expected.
But isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that what life is meant to be about? The things that end and the new opportunities that come out of them. The ways in which we fight and struggle and conquer and overcome.
One day you will wake up and it won’t hurt so bad. That you’ll go through entire days without playing out that ending in your mind. That soon there will be whole stretches of time when it never even crosses your mind, until one day it’s just an uncomfortable memory.
Know that one day you will look back and see that event not as the end, but as a starting point. As the pivot that turned everything around. As the thing that gave you the courage to try something new, something that would come to a beautiful fruition.
Let yourself realize that every wonderful thing that you’ve experienced is so because something else ended, not in spite of it.
Things will end, while others are just beginning.
