The morning at the Springfield Nature Center that ended with the hawk encounter (post from two days ago) started with this long shot. This tree full of Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) is on private property that acts as the transition between the Nature Center (Missouri Dept. of Conservation) and the downstream and around the bend, (Springfield Park Board) Lake Springfield. It was a cooler and overcast morning so they had yet to warm up for the day's cleanup activities.
The Cornell Labs adds this bit of information: "Vultures in the Americas look a lot like the vultures in Europe, Asia, and Africa, with broad wings, bare heads, and the habit of eating dead meat. But surprisingly, they're in different taxonomic orders, meaning they're not particularly closely related. They evolved many of the same features as they exploited the same kinds of resources in different parts of the planet. This process is known as convergent evolution."
It has been a while since I shared any new images. Due to unforeseen circumstances my opportunities to get out with the camera are more limited than ever, meaning the chances of any new landscape work is slim.
However, I am working on a nice collection of images for my street portfolio, including this one from a late night wander around Soho in London on Friday night

Odering food in Chinatown's market, Singapore. It's been a long time since I last spoke any Chinese in real person - just barely enough to order.
The lady in the picture is very nice, and beautiful too, I guess.

You don't have to go home - but you can't stay here.
If you are still in a pub as it nears closing time, you might hear the staff shout “last orders”, ring a bell behind the bar or flash the lights in the pub. This means you have around 15 minutes to buy any final drinks for the evening before the bar (and soon after, the pub) closes.
Until 2005, British on-license hours were restricted to morning/afternoon (10:30 or 11:00 AM to 2:30 or 3:00 PM) and evening sessions (5:00 PM to 10:30 or 11:00 PM). These hours were different on a Sunday. Such restrictions were introduced “temporarily” during World War I and never rescinded.
British pubs, clubs, and bars are now permitted to serve liquor
24 hours a day, although relatively few actually do. Many town houses trade from 10 AM until midnight, and clubs, which open early in the evening, might stay open until the small hours. Only a few places are open all night.

La basílica de San Vital en Rávena (it. basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna) es uno de los templos más importantes del arte bizantino y, como otros de la misma ciudad, se reformó por deseo expreso del emperador Justiniano a partir de construcciones anteriores, con el objetivo de acelerar la integración de los territorios conquistados por el Imperio bizantino, ya que en el 402 Rávena fue la capital del Imperio romano de Occidente, en tiempos del emperafor Honorio, y en el 493 fue la capital del reino ostrogodo de Italia, en tiempos de Teodorico. La obra se financió con el dinero del acaudalado banquero Juliano Argentario, de origen griego (aportando una cantidad aproximada de 26.000 besantes de oro) y fue supervisada por el arzobispo de la ciudad, Maximiano, quien la consagró en el año 547. Todos estos personajes aparecen en la decoración musivaria que se realizó entre los años 546 y 548, año de la muerte de la emperatriz Teodora. Estos mosaicos son el mejor ejemplo de las artes figurativas bizantinas y nos dan una idea de lo que pudieron ser las obras que fueron destruidas, durante la querella de los iconoclastas de los siglos VII y VIII, y con la caída de Bizancio a manos de los otomanos. En San Vital las imágenes se han preservado, en el primer caso, porque Rávena se posicionó en contra de los iconoclastas, y en segundo lugar, porque ya no era bizantina durante la invasión turca.
La iglesia tiene la consideración de basílica menor desde el 7 de octubre de 1960.
En 1996 la iglesia, con otros edificios paleocristianos, fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, con el nombre de «Monumentos paleocristianos de Rávena».
Los mosaicos de Justiniano y Teodora, de autor anónimo, del siglo VI pertenecientes a la Primera Edad de Oro del Arte Bizantino. Están ubicados cada uno en un lado del presbiterio cerca del ábside donde se representaba el tema más importante: el Cristo Todopoderoso sentado sobre el mundo de la Iglesia de San Vital, en la ciudad de Rávena, en la región de la Emilia-Romaña, al noreste de Italia. Allí, los mosaicos están en una posición privilegiada, justo en frente de una escena bíblica que representa la Epifanía de Cristo.

The Basilica of San Vitale is a late antique church in Ravenna, Italy. The sixth-century church is an important surviving example of early Byzantine art and architecture, and its mosaics in particular are some of the most-studied works in Byzantine art. It is one of eight structures in Ravenna inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its foundational inscription describes the church as a basilica, though its centrally-planned design is not typical of the basilica form. Within the Roman Catholic Church it holds the honorific title of basilica for its historic and ecclesial importance.
The church's construction began in 526 on the orders of Bishop Ecclesius of Ravenna. At the time, Ravenna was under the rule of the Ostrogoths. Bishop Maximian completed construction in 547, preceding Justinian's creation of the Exarchate of Ravenna, which followed his partial re-conquest of the Western Roman Empire.
The construction of the church was sponsored by local banker and architect Julius Argentarius. Very little is known of Julius, but he also sponsored the construction of the nearby Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe at around the same time. A donor portrait of Julius Argentarius may appear among the courtiers on the Justinian mosaic. The final cost amounted to 26,000 solidi equal to 16.38 kilograms (36.11 lb) of gold. It has been suggested that Julius originated in the eastern part of the Byzantine Empire, where there was a long-standing tradition of public benefactions.
All these mosaics are executed in the Hellenistic-Roman tradition: lively and imaginative, with rich colours and a certain perspective, and with a vivid depiction of the landscape, plants and birds. The polychrome colors and shapes, as well as the preference for geometric pattern over representation is known as the jeweled style in Late Antiquity. They were finished when Ravenna was still under Gothic rule. The apse is flanked by two chapels, the prothesis and the diaconicon, typical for Byzantine architecture.
This monument is erected on the square of Emperor Menelik near St. George Church and is a standing testimony of the famous Battle of Adwa in 1896, witnessing Africa’s triumph over European colonialism.
The statue of Emperor Menelik is one of the monuments erected many years after the foundation of Addis Ababa. A German architect, Hartel Spengler, cast it in bronze on the orders of Queen Zewditu, the daughter of Emperor Menelik II, in memory of her father. The statue symbolizes the anti-colonial struggle of Emperor Menelik who waged the Battle of Adwa, the climatic battle of the First Italo-Ethiopian War.
The statue portrays Emperor Menelik in his coronation robes riding gloriously on Abba Dagnew, his horse which is depicted with both forelegs raised, looking to the north where the victorious Battle of Adwa took place. Sadly, before the statue could be erected, Queen Zewditu died in 1930. Thus, the then crown prince (later Emperor Haile Selassie) attended the inauguration ceremony on the eve of his coronation day in the same year. In the 1936 fascist invasion, Benito Mussolini gave his personal order that this statue should be pulled down and hidden somewhere so that the humiliating defeat of the Italians at Menelik’s hand in the Battle of Adwa could be forgotten. However, in 1941 when the invaders were ousted by the patriots and allied forces, the statue was restored to its original place.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Dont you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that youve never been
But all the things that youve seen
They slowly fade away.....
But dont look back in anger
I heard you say.............
Thank you Sonja for the
beautiful present ;-)
in Explore love u all ;-)
324 years ago, The Massacre of Glencoe occurred. It is remembered in the following song.
O, cruel was the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave o' Donald
O, cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house of MacDonald
They came from Fort William with murder in mind
The Campbell had orders King William had signed
"Put all to the sword" these words underlined
"And leave none alive called MacDonald"
They came in the night when the men were asleep
This band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep
Like murdering foxes amongst helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house of MacDonald
Some died in their beds at the hand of the foe
Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow
But gone was the house of MacDonald

My time here in Bangkok has almost come to a close and it was my last day at work today. Flying out on Sunday for a new life in Budapest. Mixed emotions.
Durand, Michigan April 26, 1973, the Durand to Detroit Grand Trunk Western turn is returning lead by SD40 5902 complete with miss matched number boards. The operator still was in the depot and the train order signals for the mainline are out of the picture to the right. The crossing is still protected by the swinging gates on the right and the shanty for the gate keeper is on the left. The old metal drain for the now removed steam era water plug stand pipe remains between the two tracks. Childhood friend Bruce is yelling to the crew to throw off old train orders, sadly he would pass away - way too young just a couple years later.
Head end brakeman Jessie Vega grabs the orders, and a bag of food apparently, from Leroy station agent Burt Howe as Chessie train RS-97 heads South in Leroy, NY on May 20, 1980. The RS-97 met SR-94 at Gainesville, NY, a common occurrence at the time. After the meet the SR-94 derailed some cars, including the caboose, at the rear of the train as it was descending the hill at Church St. in Silver Springs.

Sunset reflections at Leith, with the exotically named Ristorante De Niro looking like it needs a good coat of paint. I wouldn't trust that lifeboat!
For the bus enthusiast it's like a dream to see an image like this. A year ago it was the end of the great 100 year old livery in Edinburgh and quite suddenly it's all coming back to us again.
However, I had a very nice chat with 189's driver on this afternoon and asked how it felt to be driving this again? I'm afraid I will have to use alternative words as his reply was, shall we say, a little less than complimentary! It seems the old bird isn't quite as good to drive as it now is to look at. Basically he said she's knackered!
With no new orders expected for several years it would appear that these buses will have quite a few pensionable years in service ahead of them.
This one anyway is sure to become the darling of the local bus enthusiast and I for one went home with a smile on my face!
