We have wiped out many of the pests and scourges which afflicted humanity. We have advanced science to the edges of the inexplicable and hoisted technology to the sun itself... In brief, we are prosperous, lively, successful, inventive, diligent — but, nevertheless and notwithstanding, something is wrong and we know it :-)

Male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look. The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it. That is pretty much his contribution to nest building; only the female Eastern Bluebird builds the nest and incubates the eggs.

the most precisely articulated national purpose in recorded history. Not only is it a famous statement of purpose: it is also an admirable statement of purpose. Prior to July 4, 1776, the national purpose of nations had been to dominate... The American national purpose was the opposite: to liberate from domination; to set men free. All men are created equal.
We not only have a national purpose; we have one of such aspiration, such potentiality, such power of hope that we refer to it — or used to — as the American Dream :-)

Stone Harbor Point, New Jersey, USA
During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Broadway Tower is a "folly" on Broadway Hill, near the large village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire and was constructed at the second-highest point of the Cotswolds. In architecture, a "folly" is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose. The tower itself stands 65 feet (20 metres) high.
This "Saxon" tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798–1799. (Wiki)
Wappa Dam, Sunshine Coast Queensland.
"The Wappa Dam is a mass concrete gravity arch dam with earth-fill abutments and an un-gated spillway across the South Maroochy River that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for supply of potable water for the Sunshine Coast region.
Completed in 1963, the concrete dam structure is 24 metres (79 ft) high and 138 metres (453 ft) long. The 12-thousand-cubic-metre (420×103 cu ft) dam wall holds back the 4,614-megalitre (1,015×106 imp gal; 1,219×106 US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 69.7 square kilometres (26.9 sq mi) with a mean annual rainfall of approximately 1,700 millimetres (67 in) that includes much of the Maroochy River, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir with a surface area of 74 hectares (180 acres). The un–gated spillway has a discharge capacity of 1,420 cubic metres per second (50,000 cu ft/s).[1] Initially managed by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, management of the dam was transferred to SEQ Water in July 2008 as part of a water security project in the South East Queensland region, known as the South East Queensland Water Grid.[5] The accompanying water treatment plant is also managed by SEQ Water.

I can’t believe we used to use these energy hogs. I keep 2 old tungsten bulbs for photographic purposes only in our garage and when I fire them up I’m sure it makes our electric meter spin, they get so warm!

All other tasks were done mindlessly, because their focus, their only purpose, was to wait to hear something, anything
Overall it was a really great experience, the wait for the spot to be empty was incredibly worth it!
This boarded up shotgun house may date to the early 20th Century. It would be nice to believe that it was saved and relocated for local historical preservation purposes.
Shotgun houses generally consist of a gabled front porch and two or more rooms laid out in a straight line. Rooms are directly connected without hallways. Shotgun houses may have derived their name from that room format, as it was sometimes said that a bullet shot from the front door would pass through the house without hitting anything and exit through the back door. However, the term may also be derived from togun, the Yoruba word meaning “house” or “gathering place.” Although shotgun houses are small, were inexpensively built, and generally lack amenities, they have been praised for their architectural virtues, which include the ingenious use of limited space and decoration such as gingerbread trim and brightly painted exteriors. They represent a unique African American contribution to architecture in the United States, dating from the early 19th century to the early 20th century.

Cleo's Flickr friends know that she always needs a good reason for physical activity and treats ARE a good reason. She found the treats bag in the kitchen, carried it into the garden (probably because she didn't want me to see what she was doing) and used her claws to open the bag. Cleo can indeed be very determined if she has a goal. :)

So we booked a trip to Fairbanks Alaska really for one purpose, the Northern Lights. All the tourist info said if you go for three nights you have a 90% chance of seeing the lights. So we booked 4 days. But there are some things you just cannot control. We got there and the KP was only 2, and the sky was very overcast, in fact, it was snowing good and hard most of the time we were there. We tried not to be sullen, or downtrodden. In fact, I think we did a good job filling the days with other fun things to do. You have seen some of that in my other postings.
One such outing was the Chena Hot Springs. We soaked, we had fun. As we were leaving, the sky's opened up just a little and we could see stars. We could see no green, but I thought, heck, let me get out the camera and see if maybe the sensor could see green. I turned on the rear display and there it was, some green. Oh man. Frenzy. Get the tripods, get our coats, get the gloves (it was 18 degrees). We start to scramble. Very three stooges I must say. We know this will not last.
I am not trying to discount the image, but we had no control over where we were. I had 7 great locations scouted out with killer foregrounds, but when the sky won't play, you can't control where you are. So here we are in the parking lot of the Hot Springs. We tried to make the best of it. We ended up with about 45 minutes of clear sky the whole time we were there. The Aurora was not doing anything fun, no ribbons, no various colors, no dancing of any kind. We did try to control the foreground by driving down the road a bit, after the panic in the parking lot. We did grab a few more frames down the road, but the Aurora was stronger here.
I joked with Hilton Chen one time- we agreed that anytime you put blood, sweat and tears into an image, even if its a bit of a dog you are going to share it. So this image is not one of the great Aurora images on the Web. Maybe next time. But it is one I feel I earned, so here it is. Enjoy it darn you, enjoy it.
CSX B708 arrived in Shippensburg right as a short rain storm moved across the area. I'm a sucker for the Geep mother-slug sets, and when I saw the no-longer-a-GP30 was going to lead west to Letterkenny I stuck around despite the conditions. I'm glad I did.
Just as the rain tapered to a mist the setting sun found a hole in the clouds, setting off this brief rainbow. Luckily the train was close, and made the frame before the light quickly faded.
Didn't get what's the purpose of it but i caught in the photo. This was near Ness Beach, Shaldon.

Sometimes we might just need to stop everything we are doing and change things. Maybe do things totally different.
Serves the same purpose and accomplishes the same thing.

In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but either suggesting through its appearance some other purpose, or merely appearing to be so extravagant that it transcends the normal range of garden ornaments or the class of building to which it belongs.

The purpose fo switching over to a canoe on the backwaters is to navigate one of the canals that are part of the waterway. All of the images I have shown up until now were taken on the lake. There is much to see along the tiny canals where people live. They are busy places just as what is reflected here.

The STV St. Lawrence II (Sail Training Vessel) is a 72-foot (22 m) brigantine designed for youth sail training and is operated by a crew of 14- to 19-year-olds. It was designed in 1952 by Francis MacLachlan and Mike Eames, designed for the sole purpose of youth sail training. The hull was built in 1953 in the Kingston, Ontario shipyards, with the rest of the ship finished by local craftsmen, Kingston sea cadets and enthusiastic amateurs. When the St. Lawrence II first started out she was affiliated with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps St. Lawrence, but eventually her program was opened to any participants ages 12–18 for a summer training cruises.

Norfolk has literally dozens of windmills. Many were used for drainage purposes while others were used to produce flour. The vast majority seem to date from the late 1700s or the first few decades of the 1800s.
This Grade II*-listed six-storey tower mill at Burnham Overy Staithe in north Norfolk was built in 1816 and ceased working just over 100 years later in 1919. The mill was sold in 1926 and converted into holiday accommodation. Restoration was carried out in 1957 and the mill was given to the National Trust a year later. The stocks and sails were replaced in 1985.
