The purpose of my drive yesterday was to locate the Northfield Tunnel of the defunct New York Ontario and Western Railroad. I believe when I took the picture I was practically above the portal. Perhaps just past this ridge. But my wounded feet and legs and my arthritic knees ruled out any bushwhacking. In looking for the tunnel I spotted this 1930's era car bodies rusting away.
Thanks for view and comment!

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 to 18 for a summer training cruises.

Yellow-rumped Warblers typically forage in the outer tree canopies at middle heights. They're active, and you'll often see them sally out to catch insects in midair, sometimes on long flights. In winter they spend lots of time eating berries from shrubs, and they often travel in large flocks. The only warbler that over-winters here in the mid-Atlantic area because they have an extensive diet.

"Mr Al Cedo-Atthis (14-11-'19) At A Location, So Secret, Where You Can't See The Water For The Shrubs..."
The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), is one of Britains most brightly coloured and interesting birds...Kingfishers are widespread, especially in central and southern England, becoming less common further north, however, following some declines last century, they are currently increasing in their range in Scotland.
Kingfishers are found by still or slow flowing water such as lakes, canals and rivers in lowland areas. In winter, some individuals move to estuaries and the coast. Occasionally they may visit suitably sized garden ponds...
Male kingfishers and female kingfishers are are almost identical except for an orange colouration with a black tip on the lower part of the females beak/mandibles. Young kingfishers are similar to the adults in appearance, however, they have duller and greener upperparts, paler underparts, black beak and initially, black legs.
Kingfishers have very keen eyesight...The kingfisher has monocular vision (in which each eye is used separately) in the air and binocular vision (in which both eyes are used together) in water...The underwater vision is not as a sharp as in the air, however, the ability to judge the distance of moving prey is more important than the sharpness of the image..."

Symphony No. 3, Op. 36: II. Lento e Largo - Tranquillissimo
This car was sitting at the entrance of my hotel in Brasov. It served its purpose as I always stopped to admire its gaudy glamour.
The beautiful market town of Chipping Campden in the Cotwolds originally became prosperous through the wool trade. Sir Baptist Hicks - a cloth merchant who was a major benefactor of the town - had this row of almshouses built in 1612 at a personal cost of £1300, which was a vast sum for the time. He also gave £140 to maintain six poor men and six poor women in perpetuity. The Grade I-listed almshouses still fulfill their original purpose.
Hicks lavished money on the church, giving a new roof, the churchyard wall and a bell, while in the High Street he had the Market Hall built.
There is an interesting article about Baptist Hicks at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptist_Hicks,_1st_Viscount_Campden.
This is SOOC, but with a crop of the sky for composition purposes. I thought about doing some processing, but couldn't think of anything I'd want to change. This was taken Monday off I-25 so close to the Colorado New Mexico state line that I'm not sure which State I was in. At the top of the mountain, just about a half mile from here is the New Mexico DOT scale and inspection station. That's in Raton NM. I picked up my load earlier in Pueblo Colorado. Temperatures were in the mid 20's and light rain which turned to ice quickly. I stopped once and had a quarter inch of ice on my headlights. I hit it with the side of my fist and was able to break it up and remove. Windshield wipers had to be be banged against the windshield to get all the ice off them. So, you can imagine how icy the roads were. I saw two straight trucks (commercial trucks without trailers but with a cargo box attached on top of the frame) off the road and on their sides, as well as six personal vehicles that had slid off the highway. I saw one accident as it happened, an SUV spun out into the medium, but didn't look to have been damaged.
The good news for me, was as I got near New Mexico the roads were mostly dry, no rain or snow. Temperatures were still in the 20's but nice and warm inside the cab of my truck. I wouldn't have been able to pull over here for this picture if the roads had been icy or had snow, as this picture was taken on the steepest part of the climb.
Who says the Female Cardinal is not beautiful? If it wasn't for her, the male would never have it's color. I think she did that on purpose.
“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” (Peter 2:21-25)
"He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

The purpose of Arches National Park is to protect extraordinary examples of geologic features including arches, natural bridges, windows, spires, and balanced rocks, as well as other features of geologic, historic, and scientific interest, and to provide opportunities to experience these resources and their associated values in their majestic natural settings.
Grizzly has been part of our pack for 53 weeks now, And he seems all growed up. He's been helping with the work we're doing here every day, though his sense of purpose seems a little unfathomable at times.
“ A still, wordless space where the mind wanders like mist, unburdened by purpose.” - unknown. While going through some old files, I came across some images from a camping trip we took two years ago. This was a sunrise morning with heavy fog on Silent Lake in the fall. I remember how peaceful that moment was as the day slowly revealed itself. We have successfully reserved a few camping spots for this year in national parks in Canada. That is something I truly look forward to.
The Elite, or Lotus Type 14, was the first purpose-designed road coupe from the innovative mind of Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars (1952). This endeavor followed his open Six and Seven roadsters and a series of very successful sports racers, starting with his first fully enclosed aerodynamic 1954 Lotus Mk VIII.
Chapman’s approach was always to “add lightness,” instead of moving to bigger, heavier engines. He achieved this for the Elite by pioneering an all-fiberglass monocoque with only localized steel reinforcement. The 1953 Corvette showed the potential of a fiberglass body on a steel chassis, but Chapman took it a step further. The Elite was entirely fiberglass, including its load-bearing structure. Suspension parts and the front subframe supporting the engine, bolted directly to three box sections molded into the fiberglass body. His advanced glass-reinforced composite body panels were lightweight and cost-effective but, more importantly, it was the world’s first fiberglass monocoque production car.
The curvaceous body style was the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, John Frayling, and aerodynamicist, Frank Costin. The resulting design had a low drag coefficient of only 0.29. Underneath was an advanced suspension derived from Lotus 12 Formula 2 racing car and used “Chapman struts” at the rear. You can see their tops poking up through the rear window. The resulting build, and combined lighter weight, gave the Elite a nimble, exhilarating performance out of its 75hp 1.2-liter Coventry Climax “Feather Weight Elite” (FEW) inline four-cylinder engine. 1960 Motor magazine road test noted its maximum speed at 111.8 mph with 0–60 mph in 11.4 seconds. “Speed, controllability in all conditions and comfort in all its aspects make this compact two-seat coupe an extremely desirable property,” concluded the road test, calling it a “mettlesome thoroughbred.”
At roughly $5500 with tax, the Series 1 Elite was pricey, but it was gorgeous and fast! Series 2 developments included an improved design of rear suspension, and a better body build by Bristol Aircraft. In 1960, one could option a higher performance, special equipment (SE) Lotus model, like the one seen here. This included a ZF all-synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, two SU carburetors, and a modified exhaust manifold. Altogether, the package developed 85 bhp.
The Lotus Elite offered outstanding performance, but it was expensive to build and nearly bankrupted Lotus. In September 1963, after a mere five years, Elite production came to a halt. Road & Track magazine even ran “An Appreciation and an Obituary” for the elegant little car.
I've always enjoyed studying the gills of mushrooms. The purpose of mushroom gills, also known as lamellae, is to produce and then release spores. When the spores drop to the ground, often they are carried away by the wind.
The link below shares the various ways mushroom gills are attached to the stems. Knowledge is power, folks! :)

The time is over, that this tiny shell was a cozy habitation for a shell. Now I've just grabbed it. Because I had been on vacation last week, I was far from everything with a past and a certain uselessness ... So I went looking for something with a past and something that is no longer in use and took a picture. I found this shell on the beach and only this one half with the tiny hole. The funny thing was that I still had a painted rock from a previous trip in the side pocket of my backpack. Placed behind the shell, both looked to me like faces that winked as enjoyably into the evening sun as I ;-)
The long side measures 0.7 inches.

Die Zeit ist vorbei, in der diese winzige Schale eine gemütliche Behausung für eine Muschel war. Jetzt habe ich sie mir erst einmal geschnappt. Weil ich die letzte Woche gerade Urlaub gemacht hatte, war ich von allen Dingen mit Vergangenheit und einer gewissen Nutzlosigkeit fern ... Also machte ich mich hier auf die Suche nach etwas mit Vergangenheit und etwas, das nicht mehr im Gebrauch ist und machte ein Foto. Ich habe am Strand diese Muschel gefunden und auch nur diese eine Hälfte mit dem winzigen Loch. Das Lustige war, dass ich in der Seitentasche meines Rucksacks noch einen bemalten Stein von einer früheren Reise hatte. Hinter der Muschel platziert, sahen beide für mich so aus wie Gesichter, die ebenso genussvoll in die Abendsonne blinzelten wie ich ;-)
Die lange Seite misst 1,8 cm.

All life is inherently broken from the start, Percival. Take solace in that. There is no perfection in life. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of death? It's to try to find ways to better yourself before the end that gives us purpose. You are all broken, but also understand - mortals can achieve great things.
