A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
Mameda Town and its surroundings, which developed as a townspeople's land during the Tenryo period, retained a lot of land division at the time of residence, and traditional buildings remain well as a group, so the range of about 10.7 hectares was selected as a national important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings on December 10, 2004.
.... a visit to Calke Abbey and a tour round the house to see and listen to those that are preserving the House as it is, not trying to get is shinny and new looking.....
Perfect way to do it.
My first attempt at capturing this stone arch from an adjacent footbridge, had the sun reflecting too intensely down onto the brook. We tried again an hour later and the light was less severe. However, a steady stream of hikers wanting to cross the single file bridge had me frequently moving out of the way and every time someone set foot on it, the wooden structure moved. I finally crawled under the bridge to get this point of view. I'll have to try again on an overcast day when it's not so late in the year and much of the foliage is in full bloom.
The original mill, built here in the mid 19th century, ground lime in much the same way a grist mill produced grain. This arch is an original feature of the mill race and you really have to admire the masons that cut and fit the stones together to make it last this long. The Halton Hills Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, strongly requests that people stay clear of the arch to assist in it’s preservation.

The J. Donald Cameron Mansion offers plenty of charm to anyone that enters the historic site. This 25 room commercial space features one of Harrisburg's most significant historic landmarks at the corner of North Front Street and State Street. The current owner received The Mayor's Award for Historic Preservation Excellence.
This property would be excellent for law firms, lobbyists, etc. There are also several occupancy options- including 1 full bathroom and 5 1/2 bathrooms and 25 different office spaces of varying sizes. PLUS 24 PARKING SPACES!
The building is located in Harrisburg's Downtown Business District. It's located next to the Pennsylvania BAR Association, three blocks from the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex, four blocks from the Dauphin County Courthouse, a short walk to "Restaurant Row".

Young lady who works for Wildlife Preservation Canada. I have chatted with her a number of times over the last couple years. She is part of a team that keeps track and records the population and movement of the Endangered Species ,The Loggerhead Shrike. Birders come from all over Ontario in search of this rare bird.
Last year, I saw 2 of them and photographed them and this year I have seen only 1 and it was about 150-200 yards out from the roadside.
Her and her team have permission from all the land owners to access their properties in search of these birds.People like myself must obey the No Trespassing signs and can not do an open search through Carden Alvar.
I like chatting with her when I bump into her from time to time because she updates me on everything to do with the Loggerhead Shrikes. She told me that unfortunately the numbers are down and they only know of 6 pairs within a large radius.
They are also involved in an captive breeding process in hopes to increase their numbers in the wild.

There is still a theater in a part of this building, but the Marquee marks the exit of a Target store that now inhabits the greatest share of floor space.
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to the Utah state legislature for taking action to help preserve the Great Salt Lake. There’s no place else on earth quite like it and it's worthy of our protection.

The weathered wood door tells a rich story of New Orleans culture past in layers of colors. The layers like a period long gone, but influence built on top of influences to the present day.

More difficult than feeling the worst, the saddest, is the absence of any feelings to remind us who we are, why we're here. How we survived.
