Phalaropes are unusual amongst birds in being polyandrous, i.e. one female taking multiple male mates, while males mate with only one female. The females are larger and more brightly coloured than the males whom they pursue and fight over. They then defend them from other females until the male begins incubation of the clutch. Males perform all incubation and look after the chicks.
They are also unusual in spending most of the time outside the breeding season well out at sea. Their method of feeding is also unique, swimming in a small, rapid circle to form a small whirlpool from which they pick small insects or crustaceans.
Red-necked phalaropes are rare in Britain, only breeding in very small numbers in Shetland and the Outer Hebrides, and undertaking a huge migration to winter in South America.
This is another image from the Luminaria event in downtown San Antonio. I'm not sure exactly what this gentleman was dressed up for, I think he was participating in some kind of performance art.
The bokeh building in the background is the Tower Life Building. The Tower of the Americas was right behind me, and can be seen reflected in his helmet.

Map text:
This imagery shows floodplain details from five rivers on the outer Olympic Peninsula—the Quinault, Queets, Hoh, Bogachiel/Quillayute, and Sol Duc. The headwaters of these rivers begin in melting snowfields and glaciers of the Olympic Mountains. They then flow through a region of dense temperate rainforest and westward to the Pacific Ocean.
The floodplain images were derived from lidar data. Lidar (light detection and ranging) is a remote-sensing technique that uses light pulse to rapidly collect massive amounts of elevation points across large areas. These data were collected from airplanes and represent a mosaic of multiple lidar collection flights. Lidar point data can be classified in a way that allows the viewer to discern only the points that reach the ground. These points can be interpolated to represent a three-dimensional model of the earth with all of the surface features (trees and structures) removed. This is referred to as a “bare earth” model. Bare earth models are extremely useful to geoscientists because they provide a clearer view of the Earth’s surface, especially in areas such as the Olympic Peninsula, where extreme vegetation can make geologic or geomorphic investigations difficult.
The brightest white areas represent the river elevation (set to 0 feet), and as elevations increase in the floodplains, the white progressively changes from light green to dark green. This type of model shows where river channels have migrated in the past by vividly displaying floodplain features such as terraces, meander scars, and oxbow lakes.
Channel migration can be affected by a number of factors including topography, geology, land use, and land cover, such as forest. Large woody debris from the western Olympic Peninsula’s mature rainforest stabilizes floodplains and reduces channel migration by restricting flow and keeping sediment in place. Historic removal of large trees from riparian zones in the lower reaches of these rivers has increased sediment transport and channel movement.

There have been Pioneers who have traveled for days, only to return to an Aerie with nothing to report than the dense foliage and the small mundane creatures typical to the region. For those who make discoveries, who can wander along the traces of change the jungle throws at them, there is always, in the back of their minds, the knowledge that if they go to far they will be unable to return.
Hieronymus Bosch born Jheronimus van Aken c. 1450 – 9 August 1516) was an Early Netherlandish painter. His work is known for its fantastic imagery, detailed landscapes and illustrations of moral and religious concepts and narratives. Within his lifetime his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and widely copied, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell.
Little is known of Bosch's life, though there are some records. He spent most of it in the town of 's-Hertogenbosch, though his roots are from Aachen, Germany. His pessimistic and fantastical style cast a wide influence on northern art of the 16th century, with Pieter Bruegel the Elder his best known follower. His paintings have been difficult to translate from a modern point of view; attempts to associate instances of modern sexual imagery with fringe sects or the occult have largely failed. Today he is seen as a hugely individualistic painter with deep insight into man's desires and deepest fears. Attribution has been especially difficult; today only 35 to 40 paintings are confidently given to his hand. His most acclaimed works consist of a few triptych altarpieces, the most outstanding of which is the Garden of Earthly Delights. His best surviving panels make innovative use of oil paint and especially glazed finish.
Hieronymus Bosch was born Jheronimus (or Joen,respectively the Latin and Middle Dutch form of the name "Jerome") van Aken (meaning "from Aachen"). He signed a number of his paintings as Jheronimus Bosch (pronounced Yeronimus Bos[needs Dutch IPA] in Middle Dutch). The name derives from his birthplace, 's-Hertogenbosch, which is commonly called "Den Bosch" ('the forest').
Little is known of Bosch’s life or training. He left behind no letters or diaries, and what has been identified has been taken from brief references to him in the municipal records of 's-Hertogenbosch, and in the account books of the local order of the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady. Nothing is known of his personality or his thoughts on the meaning of his art. Bosch’s date of birth has not been determined with certainty. It is estimated at c. 1450 on the basis of a hand drawn portrait (which may be a self-portrait) made shortly before his death in 1516. The drawing shows the artist at an advanced age, probably in his late sixties.
Bosch was born and lived all his life in and near ‘s-Hertogenbosch, a city in the Duchy of Brabant. His grandfather, Jan van Aken (died 1454), was a painter and is first mentioned in the records in 1430. It is known that Jan had five sons, four of whom were also painters. Bosch’s father, Anthonius van Aken (died c. 1478), acted as artistic adviser to the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady.It is generally assumed that either Bosch’s father or one of his uncles taught the artist to paint, but none of their works survive. Bosch first appears in the municipal record on 5 April 1474, when he is named along with two brothers and a sister.
's-Hertogenbosch was a flourishing city in 15th-century Brabant, in the south of the present-day Netherlands, at the time part of the Burgundian Netherlands, and during its lifetime passing through marriage to the Habsburgs. In 1463, 4,000 houses in the town were destroyed by a catastrophic fire, which the then (approximately) 13-year-old Bosch presumably witnessed. He became a popular painter in his lifetime and often received commissions from abroad. In 1488 he joined the highly respected Brotherhood of Our Lady, an arch-conservative religious group of some 40 influential citizens of 's-Hertogenbosch, and 7,000 'outer-members' from around Europe.
Sometime between 1479 and 1481, Bosch married Aleyt Goyaerts van den Meerveen, who was a few years his senior. The couple moved to the nearby town of Oirschot, where his wife had inherited a house and land from her wealthy family. An entry in the accounts of the Brotherhood of Our Lady records Bosch’s death in 1516. A funeral mass served in his memory was held in the church of Saint John on 9 August of that year.
The designer calls for 3/4 inch (18 MM ) bottom panels on the hull bottom. As the forward portion of the hull has a tight bend and this can not be obtained with 3/4 material it is built with 1/2 (12 mm) and then a 1/4 (6 mm) skin is added. This provides a final thickness of 3/4 inch or 18 mm.
Outer castle gate (Vienna) - ring road
(Further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Heldenplatz page 2005
The outer castle gate in Vienna, formerly written also Burgthor is situated between the Heroes' Square and the Ringstrasse (Ring Road) and is also known as Heroes' Gate.
History
Outer castle gate in 1898
1660 the old castle gate was built as part of the fortifications of Vienna and hotly contested during the Second Siege of Vienna in 1683. During the Fifth coalition war, in 1809, it was - like other parts of the city fortifications, too - blown up by Napoleon's soldiers, by which became apparent that the city fortifications had finally lost its military value .
The outer castle gate was built of Peter Nobile according to plans of Luigi Cagnola by soldiers of the Imperial Austrian army. For the door system with five arched gates in cuboid technique were used hard Wöllersdorfer and Kaisersteinbrucher stone, for less loaded parts St. Margarethener stone. The ceremonial laying of the foundation stone took place on 22 September 1821 in the presence of Emperor Franz I. On 16 October 1824 - the eleventh anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig - it was opened. According to an announcement was from 18 October 1824 the free passage through the new gate possible.
In gilded script can be found on the ring road side the inscription "FRANCISCUS I. IMPERATOR AUSTRIAE MDCCCXXIV " (Francis I, Emperor of Austria 1824) and at the Heroes' Square, facing front "IUSTITIA REGNORUM FUNDAMENTUM" (Justice is the foundation of the rule), the motto of Emperor Francis I of Austria.
At the end of the 19th Century Otto Wagner planned to tear off the gate and rebuild it in Grinzing (19th district of Vienna). In its place he wanted to build a monumental statue of Emperor Franz Joseph. Ludwig Baumann, on the other hand, a supervisor of the Imperial Palace, was for the demolition of the building, so as to open the Heldenplatz (until 1878" Outside Castle Square") towards to the ring road.
At the time of Nazi rule in Austria there were considerations to upgrade the Heldenplatz architecturally. To this end, the main axis of the square should be rotated by 90 degrees, so that the balcony of the Imperial Palace, from where Adolf Hitler announced the annexation of Austria, would have become the main focal point in large marches. On this behalf, one wanted to move the equestrian statues of Prince Charles and Prince Eugene of Savoy, as well as the castle gate itself, which they wanted to shift into the center of Heroes' Square.
Even the erection of this building by soldiers and the opening on the eleventh anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig should refer to the heroic struggle of the Austrian army against Napoleon's troops. Throughout its history, more and more other memorials have been set up here.
Laurel wreath and crest
Laurel branches of the supreme commander
"Laurel for our heroes 1914-1916"
At Pentecost 1915 suggested the wife of an Imperial Council, Flora Berl, the action "laurel for our heroes from 1914 to 1916". Archduke Charles Stephen, the protector of the relief operation of the war welfare office - formerly "protection against the cold" - also took care of the daughter action "laurel for our heroes 1914-1918" and also had the idea with the exterior castle gate as a central place of this action.
In this fundraising campaign should "of an alloy that is not suitable for lethal projectiles", laurel wreaths ("victor's wreaths", no grave wreaths) be produced. Each donor could either engrave his own name in one of the laurel leaves or dedicate this sheet to a soldier at the front. The donor could himself register in a book of honor and received a commemorative document - a fundraising campaign that resembles the principle of the "military man in iron". This fundraising campaign was opened on 1 June 1915 in the Kärntner Straße 35 in Vienna, where the rooms of the Hamburg-America Line served as propaganda local. The proceeds of this fundraising campaign went to the K.K. Austrian Military Widows and Orphans Fund and War Fürsorgeamt (Social Security Office) formerly "protection against the cold".
Most prominent donors were:
Emperor Franz Joseph I (Austria-Hungary)
Kaiser Wilhelm II (German Empire)
Grand Sultan Mehmed V. (Ottoman Empire)
King Ferdinand I (Bulgaria)
To their donations remember the four gilded laurel branches in the middle of the ring road frontage between the laurel wreaths and coat of arms of the countries and cities in Austria ("the countries represented in the Reichsrat"). In addition was the saying "LAURUM MILITIBUS LAURO DIGNIS MDCCCCXVI (bay laurel honor of the soldiers 1916)" attached.
Feststiege (festival stairway) to the roofless hall of honor
Crypt
Heroes Monument, Crypt
Between the years 1933 and 1934 the outer castle gate was after an architectural competition by Rudolf Wondracek, a student of Otto Wagner, to a to the fallen of the First World War dedicated heroe's monument converted, a change of the outer shape of the building not being allowed. On the two short sides run feast stairs to his roofless hall of honor, which the architect explained by stating: "The heroes of World War II have fallen under the open sky, they are to be honored under the open sky." Inside was north of the road a crypt for the fallen of the First world War built. In there can be found the by Wilhelm Frass of red marble created epitaph of a dead soldier and a simple altar. Until November 2012 ten honor books were issued with the names of the in the war fallen Austrians in showcases, whose pages were turned over daily. The books were removed after repair and on 30th November 2012 handed over to the Austrian State Archives.
For the financing of the construction of the hero monument had been placed the already in the First World War used "Wehrmann in Eisen" in service again. The ten honor books were funded by these donations. Although the epitaph was not finished, the War Memorial on 9th and 10th in September 1934 was opened as part of a patriotic ceremony. On 15 March 1938 here also laid Adolf Hitler a wreath and Hermann Goering visited on 27 March the place of honor. In this crypt is read every Sunday a Holy Mass.
SA Memorial
During the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the middle gate entrance was usually closed, as this was reserved for the emperor. Here the SA later got its own memorial, which was removed after the war ended in 1945.
Ordination space
1965 on the decision of the Federal Governement was south of the passage established an ordination space for the victims of the Austrian Struggle for Freedom. It contains a black block of marble, those upper side bears the federal coat of arms and on its front the inscription" IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS IN THE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM IN AUSTRIA". In a display case in the lobby are kept documents about the re-establishment of the Republic of Austria. On 27th May 1965 the ordination space was given over to its purpose.
Environment
Just a few meters away from the exterior castle gate are two other memorials of the recent past.
Papal cross
To the south is next to the Heldentor the steel Pope cross, which the visit of Pope John Paul II on 10th September 1983 recalls and was designed by architect Gustav Peichl.
Monument to the executive
To the north, next to the Heroe's Place, there is a monument that should commemorate policemen and policewomen and gendarmes (1st July of 2005 gendarmes became policemen) killed in service. The monument, consisting of two rectangular steel bodies, was in the presence of President Thomas Klestil on 3rd June 2002 consecrated.

Postwar period and reorganization of the crypt in Heldentor
After the Member of Parliament Harald Walser of the Greens had made known in 2012 that the name of Josef Vallaster (criminal of war) was also listed in the Books of the Death in the crypt of the Heldentor, prompted Defense Minister Norbert Darabos the deletion Vallasters from the Books of the Death. In addition, this was followed by an ordered investigation by experts to determine whether other war criminals are among the soldiers listed in the Books of the Death. Furthermore, it was investigated whether as 1938 claimed by Wilhelm Frass, he in 1935 deposited secretly a tribute of the National Socialism in the lying soldiers, which is confirmed in July 2012. At the same time also a pacifist message of Frass' heretofore largely unknown assistant Alfons Riedel was discovered. The two documents were on 9th July 2013 handed over to the Vienna Museum of Military History, where they are exhibited as facsimile in the hall Republic and Dictatorship over a display case with a model of the castle gate and that brass sleeve in which the letters were hidden.

Outer coffin of Nepawershefyt.
This set of coffins was made to contain the body of Nepawershefyt, an important official at the temple of Amun in Karnak who lived around 990-940 BC. At this period people no longer had elaborately decorated tomb chapels, so they decorated the coffins instead.
Many of the scenes and text on the coffin are taken from the Book of the Dead. Spells and instructions to help the deceased in the afterlife.

"Modern Love of Mr. Kung Fu" is devided into two parts, "Inner" and "Outer". "Inner" is transformed from ancient China face future-telling. The main idea of it is to discuss the difference of inner desire between modern and ancient. "Outer" derive from ancient China kung fu teaching-book. I combine martial art with parapara dance, so as to present the difference of desire in behavior between mordern and ancient.
I finally photographed this series I have been wanting to do for two years!
In March of 2018, Fortune Cookie Soap (a family run bath and soap company in Oklahoma) did a sailor moon themed limited edition line, called "Soap Scouts in the Name of FCS."
