White-bellied Sea-Eagle
Scientific Name: Haliaeetus leucogaster
Description: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle has white on the head, rump and underparts and dark grey on the back and wings. In flight the black flight feathers on the wings are easily seen when the bird is viewed from below. The large, hooked bill is grey with a darker tip, and the eye is dark brown. The legs and feet are cream-white, with long black talons (claws). The sexes are similar. As in other raptors (birds of prey), Males (2.5 kg - 3.7 kg) are slightly smaller than females (2.8 kg - 4.2 kg).The wingspan is about 1.8 m - 2 m. Young Sea-Eagles are brown as juveniles than slowly become to resemble adults in a patchwork manner, acquiring the complete adult plumage by their fourth year.
Similar species: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle is the second largest raptor (bird of prey) found in Australia. The largest is the Wedge-tailed Eagle, Aquila audax, which stands up to 1 m tall. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is mostly brown, with a wedge-shaped tail. Young Sea-Eagles may be confused with the Wedge-tailed Eagle, but differ in having a paler head and tail and more steeply upswept wings when soaring.
Distribution: White-bellied Sea-Eagles are a common sight in coastal and near coastal areas of Australia. In addition to Australia, the species is found in New Guinea, Indonesia, China, south-east Asia and India
Habitat: White-bellied Sea-Eagles are normally seen perched high in a tree, or soaring over waterways and adjacent land. Birds form permanent pairs that inhabit territories throughout the year.
Feeding: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle feeds mainly off aquatic animals, such as fish, turtles and sea snakes, but it takes birds and mammals as well. It is a skilled hunter, and will attack prey up to the size of a swan. Sea-Eagles also feed on carrion (dead prey) such as sheep and fish along the waterline. They harass smaller birds, forcing them to drop any food that they are carrying. Sea-Eagles feed alone, in pairs or in family groups.
Breeding: White-bellied Sea-Eagles build a large stick nest, which is used for many seasons in succession. The nest can be located in a tree up to 30m above the ground, but may also be placed on the ground or on rocks, where there are no suitable trees. At the start of the breeding season, the nest is lined with fresh green leaves and twigs. The female carries out most of the incubation of the white eggs, but the male performs this duty from time to time.
Calls: Distinctive loud "goose-like" honking call, which is heard particularly during the breeding season.
Minimum Size: 75cm
Maximum Size: 85cm
Average size: 80cm
Average weight: 2 630g

Just off Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia, between Point Addis and Anglesea is a spectacular, but hazardous, 5 km section of cliffed coast and energetic beaches. The cliffs are composed of weathered sandstone that continually slumps and, in places, falls onto the beaches. The three beaches face south-south-east and receive waves averaging 1.5 m which, beside producing wide, energetic surf, help to erode the base of the cliffs and bluffs. Access to these beaches is not recommended owing to rock falls.The first beach (Black Rocks Beach) extends 1 km from Point Addis to Black Rocks. It can be reached via a walking track from the Point Addis car park. It usually has a single bar, cut by permanent rips against each headland, and two central rips. The backing bluffs are fairly subdued, reaching only 30 m. Eumeralla Beach is 2.2 km long and backed by massive slumps in its 90 m high bluffs. The beach sand is coarser, resulting in a surf zone dominated by rips every 300 m. Demons Bluff, as the name suggests, is a sheer, 30 to 50 m high, eroding cliff, fronted by a narrow, 1.5 km long beach that is awash at high tide. Rock falls commonly cover parts of the beach, which can only be reached on foot along the base of the cliffs. The beach has a wide surf zone, dominated by rips every 300 m. The Anglesea sewer works back the beach. (sourced from Beachsafe)
This was taken on an overcast morning, the sun came out to illuminate the cliff faces just for a few very brief moments.

EXPLORE # 442 - on February 7th.
Lake Michigan is the only one located entirely within the United States.
The lake is slightly larger than the country of Croatia.
The first permanent settlement on the Lake Michigan shoreline was made in 1779 at the site of present-day Chicago
Twelve million people live along Lake Michigan's shores.
Apart from specific calls to advertise, and specific things of interest i am on permanent hiatus from Second Life blogging, Second Life in general. 2020 wasn't very kind, and the culture of SL is LITERALLY just becoming even more toxic as the days go by. In order to save myself the hassle i'm just cutting ties and walking off.
Late afternoon over the Bighorn Basin on the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains, one of many views one has when driving up old US 14-A to the upper and lower Five Springs Falls campgrounds. I had spent the night in Lovell, explored Bighorn Canyon for a while, then came here to shoot at Five Springs Falls. This is mostly just a "snapshot" and not what I'd consider a true "landscape", for there are the manmade roads in the scene and it's still rather harsh lighting but I thought I'd share it all the same, for maybe it will assist someone in the future if traveling in the region. This also gave me a chance to experiment further with the Nisi graduated ND filters I added to my collection prior to this trip, very helpful indeed. (Note: Until Google Maps accepts the edit I made to Old US 14A, it still shows that the road connects to Forest Service Road #541. In reality, the road ends at a gate just around the curve from the upper campground and can only be hiked beyond that point.)
The old US 14-A was a hair-raising drive at best (there is a historical sign/marker at the junction with the present-day US 14-A), though the present-day US 14-A is still quite the drive, as well. Old 14-A is visible at the lower left, while US 14-A extends from the lower right to curve around the south side of Five Springs Point to climb up the shoulder of Medicine Mountain. The highway climbs 3600 feet in the distance of ten miles with 10% grades. There are three runaway truck ramps on this downgrade, one of which is directly atop Five Springs point on the left, another of which is further down the other side of the point. Imagine trying that in the winter? lol It is obvious why this highway is closed from down in the Bighorn Basin up to Burgess Junction in the winter, eh? I've driven trucks off and on ever since 1993 and, as much as I hate to admit it, I overheated the brakes on my personal vehicle a decade ago making the descent on the eastern side of the Bighorns on the long grade that drops into Dayton. Use a lower gear, for I stopped to let brakes cool off after I felt the rotors begin to warp (amazingly, they were not permanently damaged).
A double-barrel empty grainer G806-06 throttles up after clearing the permanent 20 mph slow order in Staunton as the big AC traction GEs are getting about 200 empty hoppers up to 40 mph at LaGrange, VA.
NR4 and NR103 approach the summit of the Great Dividing Range at Heathcote Junction, as they head north for Griffith with 5MC2.
Owing to the ports unable to handle the previous length of the MC2/CM3 trains at 1800m, this service has now been restricted to 1200m, making it easier to strip and load the service during its turnaround time. This in short means it no longer needs a 3rd locomotive.

Our two "pups" #800, an ex Erie Lackawanna SW8 and a second which I could not find a number anywhere on it, but I believe to be the #801, an ex Lehigh Valley SW8, dawdle along the less than desirable track at Jeddo, PA. They are now traveling compass west and are on the north side of the giant model railroad I describe in the previous post. They have passed forest, man made holes, tailings, and even bored through a mountain to get here. As soon as the nose of the lead locomotive crosses the road, it will be in Ebervale and at it's destination. The earth here is all black. The huge strip mining operations since the 1800's have permanently scarred the land, but has been necessary for human survival of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Jeddo Highland Coal continues to this day to tear at the seams for what little bit of black diamonds are left in the region providing the railroad with loads, 20 hoppers at a time.
Blast Beach, Durham UK
During the rare dry spells we get here on the north east coast of the UK these weird pools on the Blast Beach (County Durham) dry out and the beach surface somethimes splits and cracks into this animal-like skin.
Allan Gardens Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. Its historic, cast-iron and glass domed "Palm House" was built in 1910 and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows.

I first came across this old auto several years ago while cruising the back roads of Oregon. I had the opportunity to be in the area again and decided to see if it was still there. Time and memory made it a bit of a challenge but i was happy to find it again.
The first time i saw this i found it by pure chance - i happened to be looking through the window while driving down a steep hillside. I saw a flash of rust about 50 feet over the bank as i drove by. I found a place to turn around and parked off the road and scrambled down the bank.

This is the Canada Permanent Trust Building located at 320 Bay Street in the Financial District of Toronto. It was built between 1928-1930 by the architect F. Hilton Wilkes. This building is a good example of Art Deco Architecture.
The Toronto Project:
Hi Flickr, I have been busy finishing my degree, and now I'm done!! I have finally completed my bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I just returned from a trip to Toronto. I have taken a fascination with the city in many ways and I had a list of things to do and experience there. In my three full days of staying there and shooting I experienced a lot and took 4927 photos, I walked dozons of kilometers, and visited many interesting areas. Some of the highlights include; the PATH system, Hockey Hall of Fame, Union Station, all of the major financial building complexes, CN Tower, Old City Hall, Osgoode Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kensington Market, Chinatown, Sunnybrook Park, Cabbagetown, Necropolis, Euclid Hall, Gooderham Houses, Queen's Park Legislative Buildings, All of the old colleges of the University of Toronto, Royal Conservatory of Music, Annex style houses, Yorkville Houses and firehall, Casa Loma, Spadina Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, Allen Gardens, Mackenzie House, St Michael's Church, Metropolitan United Church, Flatiron Building, St Lawrence Market, Toronto's first post office, St. Lawrence Hall, Sculpture Garden, St. James Church, Gooderham and Worts Distillary, Cherry Street Hotel, and Little Trinity Church and the surrounding neighborhood of Corktown.
This is just an image of a large series that I'm doing. The primary goal of this project is to document the diverse types of architecture that one can find in Toronto. Much of it has a British influence or American such as Richardsonian Romanesque when it comes to older buildings. But since Toronto is also a modern alpha global city and a global financial city it has a diverse and impressive amount of modern skyscrapers and post modern architecture. Its diversity is also shown in its people in that atleast 50% of the people living in Toronto weren't even born in Canada, making Toronto the world's most ethnically diverse city. It is extremely colourful and every corner has a new surprise. One can pass down the same street multiple times and stil find surprises like little shops you didn't even notice. I can't wait to return, but I need work in order to get down there again.

" All of the slabs started out as solid squares and rectangles, but many were extensively modified as permanent structures were added. A common modification was to cut an inlet into one or more sides to access the center of the slab. These waterways are not considered part of the canal system in the city, and are completely in private hands hand or, more often, no hands at all. Sunlight doesn't reach places like that, and the surveillance system is typically not in place at Water Level. Such inlets are used for collecting trash and dropping off cargo away from prying eyes. I would avoid the inlets, even during the day, if I were you."
- Yoko Aramaki, City Planner
A portion of the inlet and back alley of my cyperpunk city island. The roughest part of a rough part of town. Eventually, it will be a narrow waterway with another similar back alley opposite this one. The buildings get wider as they go up, so this space is completely covered by structure.
saw this establishment that had permanently closed due to the lockdowns caused by the pandemic, this place used to be a lively source of night entertainment for tourists
