Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
On The Bella Coola Chilcotin Highway, British Columbia.
I asked this lovely lady to sit on the dock and pose for me as she photographed the lake. This is Anahim Lake in central British Columbia and the dock belongs to Eagle's Rest Lodge, and it was a great place to stop for the night. The views are spectacular, and the lake is teeming with fish which are constantly jumping. The fish are naturally hatched here and not stocked.
At CAMP FR this October, a group of us, under the guidance of Chris Watson, sat on the side of a mountain and made a "skyline" recording of the area just above Aulus les Bains. Skyline recordings are usually used as soundtracks over which to place dialogue, or can be used as atmospheres behind other sounds, especially "species" recordings. They usually contain all the sounds of the locale - in this case a river, red deer calling out, bird calls, motors from chain saws, etc. - all captured together from a great distance... So they give a good general ambience (or idea) of the sonic environment in which one is located.

An 18m-diameter steel lattice structure supported on a tripod five metres above the ground. From its position on Top o' Slate, an old quarry and former landfill site situated in the hills above Haslingden in the Rossendale Valley, it is clearly visible for miles around.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Brown Honeyeater
Scientific Name: Lichmera indistincta
Description: The Brown Honeyeater is a medium-small pale grey-brown honeyeater with a distinctive yellow tuft behind its eye. It also has yellow to olive wing patches and tail panels. It is pale grey below, darker olive brown above and has a long curved black bill. Young birds are paler with more yellow colouring and a yellow gape (open bill). It has a fast, undulating flight and is seen either singly, in pairs or small flocks in flowering trees and shrubs.
Similar species: The Brown Honeyeater is similar to the Dusky Honeyeater, Myzomela obscura, in size and shape, but this species is much darker brown and lacks the tuft behind the eye and the yellowish wing patches. It could also be confused with females or young birds of the Scarlet Honeyeater, M. sanguinolenta, or Red-headed Honeyeater, M. erythrocephala, but these are smaller with shorter tails, lack the eye tuft, often have a reddish face and have very different calls.
Distribution: The Brown Honeyeater is widespread in Australia, from south-western Australia across the Top End to Queensland, and through New South Wales on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range to Swansea in the Hunter Region. It is rarely seen southwards from Lake Macquarie to the Parramatta River, Sydney, but is regularly recorded in suitable habitats such as Homebush Bay and Kurnell in small numbers, and is a vagrant to the Illawarra region. It is found west of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales to Tamworth and Gunnedah and south-west to Hillston. The Brown Honeyeater is also found in Bali and the Lesser Sundas, Indonesia, Aru Island and in parts of Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Brown Honeyeater is found in a wide range of wooded habitats, usually near water. It is often found in mangroves and woodlands or dense forests along waterways. It can also be found in mallee, spinifex woodlands, low dense shrublands, heaths and saltmarshes, as well as in monsoon forests or rainforests in the Top End. It is common in parks, gardens and street trees in urban areas as well as on farms and in remnant vegetation along roadsides.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic or partly nomadic in response to flowering of food plants. Some seasonal movements in parts of its range.
Feeding: The Brown Honeyeater feeds on nectar and insects, foraging at all heights in trees and shrubs. It may be seen in mixed flocks with other honeyeaters. In Western Australia, these include the Singing Honeyeater, White-fronted Honeyeater and the Red Wattlebird, while in the Top End it is often seen with the Dusky Honeyeater. However, it will be displaced at bird feeders by larger birds.
Breeding: During the breeding season, male Brown Honeyeaters defend a nesting territory by singing from tall trees and they stand guard while the female builds the nest and lays the eggs. The small neat cup-nest is made from fine bark, grasses and plant down, bound with spiders web, and is slung by the rim in a shrub, fern or tree at up to 5 m from the ground and is usually very well-hidden by thick foliage. Only the female incubates, but both sexes feed the young. Nest predators include Pied Currawongs, snakes and cats. Brush Cuckoos, Pallid Cuckoos,Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoos and Shining Bronze-Cuckoos will parasitise nests.
Calls: Clear, ringing, musical: 'whit, whit, whitchit'
Minimum Size: 12cm
Maximum Size: 16cm
Average size: 14cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: April to November in north; June to February in south
Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulphur_Mountain_(Alberta)
ELEVATION 2281 m 7486 ft
Sulphur Mountain (Nakoda: Mînî Rhuwîn) is a mountain in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains overlooking the town of Banff, Alberta, Canada.
The mountain was named in 1916 for the hot springs on its lower slopes. George Dawson had referred to this landform as Terrace Mountain on his 1886 map of the area. Sanson's Peak was named in 1948 for Norman Bethune Sanson who diligently attended the observatory recording equipment atop Sulphur Mountain for nearly 30 years.
Two hot springs have been commercially developed. The lowest is the Cave and Basin National Historic Site and the highest is the Banff Upper Hot Springs.
A gondola on the eastern slope goes to the summit ridge which has an upper terminal containing three restaurants, a gift shop, and multiple observation decks. The summit ridge provides views both westward up and east down the Bow Valley. A boardwalk can be followed on the north side to the top of Sanson's Peak (2,256 m or 7,402 ft).
The original, and more scenic, summit access is along an old fire road (Sanson Road) on the Southwest face of the mountain with a distance of 5.8 km from the Banff Sundance Canyon trail system near the Bow River. Another 5.4 km switchback trail route exists under the gondola with trailhead access from the Banff Hot Springs parking lot near the gondola terminal.
The mountain has been the site of two research facilities. In 1903, a meteorological observatory building was completed atop Sanson Peak. This building still exists and visitors can look through a window to see its interior complete with rustic furnishings. In the winter of 1956-57, the National Research Council built a small laboratory on Sanson's Peak in order to study cosmic rays as part of Canada's contribution to the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station remained in operation until 1978 and the building was removed in 1981. A plaque now marks the site's location.
The hot springs at the base of Sulphur Mountain are home to the endangered Banff Springs snail and the now-extinct Banff longnose dace.

Locomotive Service's 'Midland Pullman' sweeps through Lichfield Trent Valley on 28th May 2021 while forming 5Z58 1023 Crewe HS - Eastleigh Arlington. This ECS move is ahead of the 'Midland Pullman' working a charter from Eastleigh to Penzance on 29th May. Note that the leading power car now carries the number M43046 and is named 'Geoff Drury 1930 - 1999 Steam Presevation and Computerised Track Recording Pioneer'.

Class 45 "Peak" diesel electric locomotive No. 45032 arrives at Liskeard with the up Cornish Riviera Limited on Monday 27th October 1975. This famous named train ran from Penzance to London Paddington, and I believe at the date of this photo was booked to depart from the Cornish terminus at 11:00. I have it down in my surviving notebook as leaving Liskeard at 12:27. It's a shame it wasn't a "Western" on the front but then the "Peak" has its own appeal too, especially now. A little research was needed to fill in the details here, both from the web and from my atrocious notes made on the day which were written in green ballpoint pen.
The occasion was a school railway society day trip, the highlight of which was a run on the Gunnislake branch. You can see some of my school chums on the platform waiting to board the "Up Rivo", and I'm sure it was also one of them holding the microphone.
Abner took the cell phone out of his pocket to make the live recording of this scene, in addition to the GoPro camera and camcorder.
They wanted to make recordings, but I've found it infinitely more difficult to make a recording than to make a picture. So, here's a picture. I've been snowed under with work and photography, I feel like I'm hanging on by my nails. The 365 project must go on.......
