Similar to a shot uploaded earlier. Also called the Brown Wren Warbler, Plain Wren-Warbler, Plain-colored Prinia, Tawny Prinia and Tawny Wren Warbler. These 13-14 cm long warblers have short rounded wings, a longish tail, strong legs and a short black bill. In breeding plumage, adults are grey-brown above, with a short white supercilium and rufous fringes on the closed wings. Underparts are whitish-buff. The sexes are identical.
Panoramic view of part of the Ishikari Plain (beyond the houses in the foreground - we live in somewhere (not visible) in that set of houses) from near the Ebetsu-Eniwa Road in Kitahiroshima. Also visible are Mount Ashibetsu and Mount Yubari (at least partially - the trees block a lot of the view) in the Yubari Mountains. I'll try to make a panorama from the other side of the road next time - at least Mount Yubari will be visible... (I'd stand in the middle of the road to take a picture, but I don't want to be a bad example to the school kids going home, nor do I want to take a ride in a Japanese ambulance.)
The grove of trees to the left of the panorama suffered from many fallen trees due to Typhoon 21 that struck on 5 September 2018. I don't know how much the city has cleaned up yet, but the earthquake (6 September 2018 - entirely too soon if you ask me) is a much higher priority for scarce resources.
I have no idea what was going on here. I was on my way to the beach via back-roads grabbing some farmish landscapes when I came across this tepee.

First Berkshire 64005 (LT02 NUB) clouts a tree with its mirror as it leaves Staines bus station for Slough on the 71, in place of one of the blue 7 Series branded Citaros.
I must admit, I was surprised to see this out on the 71 on a Sunday, with the reduced vehicle requirement.
South Street, Staines, Surrey.
The Des Plaines Theater opened in 1926 as a vaudeville palace under the ownership of the Polka Brothers. The architects were Betts & Holcum, who created its interior in lavish Spanish Baroque style with seating for 1,000 patrons, an orchestra pit, a grand organ. The exterior was Art Deco, complete with a brightly colored, patterned terra cotta façade.
This theater spent a couple decades awkwardly split into a 2-screen layout, but has since been returned to its original configuration.
The Liverpool Plains form the backdrop as 8156 drags a motley collection of wagons toward Werris Creek.
View from the "Tradewinds" house at the 2007 Parade of Homes. We watched an intense thunderstorm roll in as we walked the houses... it became intense enough (lightning in the parking lot) that we were stuck in one of the homes for a good half hour!
I didn't know this McDonald's had historical significance when I lived there… Hamburger was 15 cents, with cheese 19 cents!

The Carrizo Plain, 100 airline miles north of Los Angeles, California is an area by-passed by time. Soda Lake, its centerpiece, is a glistening bed of white salt, set within a vast open grassland, rimmed by mountains.
The plain is home to diverse communities of wildlife and plant species, and is an area culturally important to Native Americans. It is traversed by the San Andreas fault, which has carved valleys, created and moved mountains, and yet close up, is seen in a subtle alignment of ridges, ravines and normally dry ponds.
The Carrizo Plain National Monument contains over 200,000 acres offering a diverse number of recreational opportunities for the visitor. Management by three agencies allows for multiple uses while preserving the area's unique flora, fauna and its overall sense of peacefulness.
