Museum at Prairiefire colorful glass exterior as the dawning day bends the light. A museum a natural history melded with art and augmented reality that opened in Overland Park Kansas in 2014 boasts an unique stained glass exterior that is equally a visual fest for those of the photographic persuasion. I was glad my friend and co-worker from Long Island scouted this location that was worth the bitter cold we both endured on that morning. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @visitthemap @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitoverlandpark @visitkansas #omd #microfourthirds @siruiimaging #micro43 #micro43photography
The start of the Overland Track near Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. We walked along this section of the track to get to other (shorter) walks. The Overland Track takes 6 days - one day ...
Still in Kamloops, I decided to work on the Overlander Bridge, and try to make something of it. As it turned out, the shapes rather than the bridge itself, made the most interesting of the images taken. Creating a kind of window and framing the landscape beyond, resulted in the most compelling of the work that day.
It is also satisfying that the water is back in the Thompson River. For some time now, one could walk quite far out onto sand bars, leaving us wondering about water levels. But, plenty of rain and cooler temperatures seemed to have helped current conditions.
and the front... sun was setting fast, not sure I got exactly the photo which captures my joy at glancing over as I'm driving and taking in the scene, just magic!
A carnivorous animal in the same family as weasels, badgers, mink etc. that lives primarily on a diet of fish but also includes frogs, crayfish, crabs and even a few waterfowl.
A coat of long guard hairs over their insulated underfur keeps them warm and dry so they can stay comfortable throughout the North American winters. They are very successful at hunting prey in our rivers, streams and ponds aided by their webbed feet, long muscular tail and sharp claws coupled with the ability to hold their breath for extended periods. As a preventative measure to becoming waterlogged they do spend a lot of time on land and enter the water only to hunt or travel much unlike the sea otters that spend most of their lives in the ocean. An overland sprint of 10 to 18 miles while searching for prey is not uncommon.
River otters seem to have the ability to live alone or in pairs but are quick to socialize in groups when other members are encountered. After mating and going through a gestation period of 80 - 90 days a female will give birth to 1 - 5 pups in a den called a holt or couch which she excavates under tree roots or a cache of rocks. Prior to the birth the female called a bitch or sow will drive the male (dog or boar) away and the pups or cubs will be tended to by the female and older offspring if still around. The pups will begin emerging from the den at about 1 month of age and mom will entice them into the water for their first swim at about 2 months. After the pups are weaned dad may return and help raise the juveniles until probably 1 year of age. Females attain sexual maturity at 2 years of age and males at 3.
River otters range in size from 10 to 33 lbs and 2.5 to 5 ' in length with females being about 1/3 the size of males. When not hunting prey they spend much time playing and frolicking with each other. This individual is one of a trio that has clawed its way onto the ice to enjoy the spoils caught underwater.

I think the healthy sounding 14litre Cummins was pushing out a good deal more than 270hp!

Once called the “The Wickedest City in the West”, Julesburg is the only town in Colorado where the original Union Pacific Overland Route from Council Bluffs passes through. Before settlers arrived, the area around Julesburg was home to the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and other Plains tribes. In 1856, Francis Bryan, a U.S. Army Lieutenant founded a Native American trail along the southern edge of the South Platte River near present-day Julesburg. It later became the Overland Trail after the aftermath of the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859.
In 1858, a half-French Canadian, half-Indian trapper by the name of Jules Beni established a trading post and saloon along the south side of the South Platte River between present day Ovid and Julesburg. As time went on, more people settled within the vicinity of the trading post and saloon where several buildings were built. It became one of the best known establishments between Fort Kearny, Nebraska, and what was then, the new mining town of Denver. As the area continued to grow, the new settlement became know as Julesburg, named after its proprietor Jules Beni. However, the town was burned to the ground by Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota warriors during the Battle of Julesburg of 1865, which was retaliation for the Sand Creek Massacre. The second Julesburg was rebuilt four miles away from the original site and served military troops from nearby Fort Sedgwick.
The Union Pacific from Council Bluffs arrived in 1867 and boasted a telegraph office and freight house owned by Wells Fargo. The UP however continued building west towards Cheyenne and the second Julesburg quickly faded. The third Julesburg was relocated once again, and settled across the South Platte River adjacent to the UP tracks. During its short existence from 1867 to 1881, Julesburg garnered a reputation as a violent, vice-ridden "hell on wheels" place. The fourth and final Julesburg was incorporated in 1886 when the branch line from Denver joined with the Overland Route. The town earned the nickname, "The Town That Moved Four Times".
Today, the UP still provides the daily ritual of running trains through Julesburg with its busy Sidney Subdivision. The Julesburg Subdivision, that once went all the way to La Salle, is still used a couple days per week with a local based out of Sterling.

Willys Overland Crossley radiator. Must have been made before 1934 when the company wound up. Still looked serviceable.

Willys-Overland produced this car between 1937-1942 though only the 1941-42 models were tagged with the ‘Americar’ name.
Its original powerplant was a 2.2 liter inline 4-cylinder nicknamed as the ‘Go-Devil’ engine. Despite the versatility of that drive train, the Americar coupé became a popular choice for many drag racers to modify as the basis for their race cars utilizing other brands of engines.
Btw, Willys is pronounced as ‘WILL-liss’, not ‘WILL-leez.’
