This kingfisher chose to move from one tree to another in front of the fall leaves that were still around back when the shot was taken.
Cape Hatteras Light is a lighthouse located on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks in the town of Buxton, North Carolina and is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, with its black and white candy-cane stripes, is one of the most famous and recognizable lighthouses in the world. Protecting one of the most treacherous stretches of the Outer Banks, with a beam of light that spans 20 miles into the ocean, the lighthouse is also the world's tallest brick lighthouse at a staggering 208' ft. tall.
In 1999, the lighthouse was moved due to dangers posed by erosion, but the original site (about a half mile away) is marked with a small post on the beach
This photo was taken before the Lighthouse was relocated.
This cormorant was working one part of the lake, then evidently was dissatisfied, so moved to the west end. Fortunately for me, I was well situated for the flight.
This is an image from a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. With Yellowstone, it takes a few days or longer to get a sense of what is going on with the wildlife; where the dens are located, where there's been a kill, what's the best place to get lucky and get a sighting and hopefully a photograph. I learned the general area where there was a Coyote den and managed to get there during the female's relocation, cub by cub, to a new unknown location. I believe she moved the remaining cubs during the night as there was no activity days following. (Canis latrans)
A Grey-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) photographed yesterday at Yarra Bend Park in Kew. It was a drizzly, dull day, not ideal for photography, but I really enjoyed seeing these fascinating creatures, definitely want to return. Thanks Ali for taking me to see them.
The Grey-headed Flying Fox’s conservation status is listed as vulnerable. The population at Yarra Bend varies from about 6,000 to up to 30,000 in summer, this group were relocated to Yarra Bend Park in 2003 from the Melbourne Botanic Gardens where they were doing significant damage and threatening many parts of the gardens.
Had to relocate some mantises that were protecting our cucumber patch so I could remove the old and plant some new. I was worried about doing so thinking it would freak out and move on. It didn't. Just after putting this one down it immediate caught a bug and proceeded to have lunch like business as usual.
It's a beautiful late fall day as Norfolk Southern manifest freight 10K soars across the Conemaugh River in Tunnelton, Pennsylvania behind a pair of GE's with a fairly clean AC44C6M on the point. At this location, the railroad crosses over the stone bridge of the original 1909 alignment of the Conemaugh Line, which was relocated in 1946 due to the building of the Conemaugh Dam that is seen in the background.

On one of the roads towards the great freshwater lake named Tonle Sap, central Cambodia. Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia flooding a vast area in the rainy season and retreating significantly in the dry season. Small homes are often relocated closer to the waters edge in the dry season.
I was thrilled to see this bird standing in the upper most pond of Fernhill Wetlands mitigation area. I got as close as I could without scaring it, took numerous photos of it sitting still and hunting, but I really wanted a flight shot. I don't intentionally disturb birds, so I waited and waited. Finally after about an hour, two people walked up to the pond even nearer the bird, and loudly said, "I WONDER WHAT THAT PHOTOGRAPHER IS LOOKING AT?" Seconds later I had my shot!

BNSF 6643 heads down the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Elsberry, MO. with 25 CitiRail Gevo's in tow. Running in a 1x2 formation to haul the units at this point of the journey under the symbol D-ALNSTL3 05T. This is 1 of 4 planned moves to relocate the units from Alliance, NE to St. Louis, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO., I'm guessing that Citi got tired of paying BNSF for storage.
CitiRail units in this move: 1333, 1410, 1212, 1350, 1429, 1303, 1332, 1434, 1412, 1347, 1318, 1435, 1213, 1208, 1325, 1338, 1210, 1310, 1345, 1415, 1411, 1314, 1419, 1316, & 1201.

I relocated this hydrangea in my yard this past summer because she was not doing well where I had originally planted her. She is thriving now and, here at the end of October, has the tiniest of flowers blooming. I was taken aback by the visitors she had drawn in as well!

Nearly eight years before a massive mudslide destroyed the town of Thistle, Utah, the Rio Grande Zephyr exits the confines of the small railroad community the morning of Nov. 16, 1975.
These tracks would be relocated in a 3,009 ft. tunnel through Billies Mountain, and the ruins of the old Rio Grande in Thistle became little more than a silent memory.
"Attempting to claim the treats" This is the first image in Robbie’s (Gray Squirrel) MI (mission impossible) series. I have to say, I wish I would have thought to switch to video mode. After this amusing encounter, I may have to change Robbie’s name to Tom Cruise.
As I was making the rounds to fill the bird feeders, Robbie was sneaking around in the foliage near the main feeder. He was following me but keeping his distance. I surprised him by placing some seeds and mealworms on a stone beneath the feeders. Although at first, he appeared to be slightly astonished by the gesture, it didn’t take him long to partake in the treats.
Meanwhile, the area where Robbie’s allotted amount of food is normally placed on the palm stump under oak one, habitat enhancements were underway. This was in order to give that feeding station a bit more character and stability. Actually, the entire area is getting a smidgen of a makeover so it will be more people-friendly for small gatherings.
Once the feeding station enhancements were completed, I set up the camera, placed some treats, and began to work on the trimming and relocating some of the plants in the area. I fully expected Marion (Female Northern Cardinal) to swoop in and grab the first bite. She generally keeps a watchful eye out for treats to be placed and usually beats everyone to the punch in this location. In other words, she’s not afraid of the clicking monster (me).
However, Marion and the rest of the gang stayed in the neighbor’s trees fussing at me for messing with the vegetation in the area. Apparently, they were extraordinarily displeased! I can only imagine what I believe to be modest revisions must look like an extreme transformation to them.
As I tended to the task at hand, I listened to the boisterous calls of my aggravated regulars. They seemed to be expressing their complete frustration and concerns about the activities at hand. Unhappy or not, their voices are still beautiful. Cranky cardinal, wren, tufted titmouse, and parula calls were carried far and wide. Not the bluebirds, they have not been visiting on a regular basis as of late.
Suddenly, I heard something rustling in the understory beside me. I looked to see Robbie slowly creeping across the ground towards the feeding station. He was checking out the changes and keeping an eye on me. Then with some impressive mission impossible style moves Robbie scampered to a tree stump that had been temporarily placed in the area.
He shimmied all around the stump while in the pancake position before moving on closer, closer, and ever closer towards the newly upgraded platform. Robbie had but one mission in mind, get those treats without being seen. Haha, I kept telling him I could see him but he totally ignored me and continued with his games. He would hide behind leaves, jump around, lay flat, and repeat.
But wait, what do I hear? By a shift in the sound of the bird's chatter, they were ready to forgive the intrusion and visit the yard for treats. Yes, the bird show was going to happen after all. The question became who shall complete the mission? Will Robbie be the first to get a treat or will Marion slip in and claim them for herself?
I hope you have a pleasant day, happy snapping.
The unexpected discovery of a Northern Mockingbird in a coastal town less than 30 minutes from where I live made it an easy decision to go and have a look at the weekend once it was known to be still there. It spent most of its time with backdrops of houses, a junkyard, shed roofs, tv aerials and walls topped with broken glass but luckily I was in the right place at the right time when it landed on a fence with a small evergreen tree behind it.
Followers of my photo stream from the US might be baffled by the excitement but this is the first time this species has turned up in the UK since 1988 and only the third record for the UK ever.
Even more remarkably the bird first turned up in Devon in February where it stayed until March before relocating 150 miles overnight to Sussex where it was only seen for one day. A month on it then resurfaced on Friday 400 miles north at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea where it stayed for 3 days before disappearing again on Monday. It has been identified as the same bird due to identical damage to the same feathers on photographs from the different sites.
Where next on its UK tour?
This birdhouse has been moved a few times under my watchful eye. I didn’t think it was being used enough. Location, location, location is that the problem. Well I did move it to its current location. I think my “Birdhouse Relocation” program was a success as I see it’s getting more use. Gratitude and Kindness are being paid by the current occupants.
It's embarrassing how many cobwebs and dog hairs the small animals find behind our furniture. Here I bring this stag beetle girl outside. Yesterday we had a cornu aspersum with cobwebs and dog hairs. We've put it outside. Fun fact is, that the giant house spiders don't collect dirt before I find them and scream (I would be good in a bad horror movie). Two days ago, I saw a giant house spider in the bathroom. I screamed, and the brave husband caught the girl (it was a girl) in a glass and threw her outside. I'm sure she comes right back inside to look for a cosy spot for to make a cocoon. She was completely clean!

It is the relocation project of a three-span arch bridge. The work had been carried out over approximately three years, and it was successfully completed two days after this day.
Excerpt from news.livingrealty.com/neighbourhood-profile-streetsville/:
Initially unveiled in September of 2014, following a $3.1 million redevelopment and name change, the newly-revitalized Streetsville Village Square – located at the intersection of Main and Queen Streets – is the community’s favourite gathering place, and arguably its biggest draw for visitors and residents alike.
The City of Mississauga’s “Official Opening” for the new square took place on June 6, 2015, and was personally attended by Mayor Bonnie Crombie as well as Ward 11 Councillor George Carlson. Since then, the revitalized square has already hosted a number of seasonal events over the course of its first summer in business.
Indeed, the square’s transformation features a number of impressive upgrades, including a performance stage area, energy efficient lighting, sound systems and accessible features. For low-key gatherings, the space also now includes an abundance of public seating, complete with eye-catching yellow umbrellas atop many of the tables.
Renovations of the square also included upgrading the street surface with attractive brickwork, as well as a refurbishment and relocation of the Streetsville Cenotaph – a treasured local monument and a part of the community’s history since 1926.

As partof 51's relocation from the Roundhouse to the Car Shop, there were a number of pieces of equipment that required movement. The 147 dates to the 1800's, and was pretty neat to see out in the light of the day.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Gate:
Independence Gate (獨立門) or Dongnimmun is a memorial gate in Seoul, South Korea. It was built in January 1898. Its construction was planned by Soh Jaipil, as a symbol of Korea's commitment to independence. It was designated as a Historic Site of South Korea in 1963, and relocated 70 metres (230 ft) northwest from the original location in 1979 for preservation.
Dongnimmun measures 14.28 meters in height and 11.48 meters in width, and is made of approximately 1,850 pieces of granite.
Sitting along the Northeast Corridor in Harrison, NJ under a fresh dusting of snow is a handful of AEM-7 AC rebuilds waiting to complete their trip to their new home in Connecticut for storage.
The night before there were nearly twice as many but due to a multiple lite engine restriction on Metro-North's New Haven Line the collection of retired motors had to be cut in half to complete the move.

Matera is a city and the capital of the Province of Matera in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy. With a history of continuous occupation dating back to the Palaeolithic (10th millennium BC), it is renowned for its rock-cut urban core, whose twin cliffside zones are known collectively as the Sassi.
Matera lies on the right bank of the Gravina river, whose canyon forms a geological boundary between the hill country of Basilicata to the south-west and the Murgia plateau of Apulia to the north-east. The city began as a complex of cave habitations excavated in the softer limestone on the gorge's western, Lucanian face. It took advantage of two streams which flow into the ravine from a spot near the Castello Tramontano, reducing the cliff's angle of drop and leaving a defensible narrow promontory in between. The central high ground, or acropolis, supporting the city's cathedral and administrative buildings, came to be known as Civita, and the settlement districts scaling down and burrowing into the sheer rock faces as the Sassi. Of the two streambeds, called the grabiglioni, the northern hosts Sasso Barisano and the southern Sasso Caveoso.
The Sassi consist of around twelve levels spanning the height of 380 m, connected by a network of paths, stairways, and courtyards (vicinati). The medieval city clinging on to the edge of the canyon for its defence is invisible from the western approach. The tripartite urban structure of Civita and the two Sassi, relatively isolated from each other, survived until the 16th century, when the centre of public life moved outside the walls to the Piazza Sedile in the open plain (the Piano) to the west, followed by the shift of the elite residences to the Piano from the 17th century onwards. By the end of the 18th century, a physical class boundary separated the overcrowded Sassi of the peasants from the new spatial order of their social superiors in the Piano, and geographical elevation came to coincide with status more overtly than before, to the point where the two communities no longer interacted socially.
Yet it was only at the turn of the 20th century that the Sassi were declared unfit for modern habitation, and the government relocation of all their inhabitants to new housing in the Piano followed between 1952 and the 1970s. A new law in 1986 opened the path to restoration and reoccupation of the Sassi, this time – as noted by the architectural historian Anne Toxey – for the benefit of the wealthy middle class. The recognition of the Sassi, labelled la città sotterranea ("the underground city"), together with the rupestrian churches across the Gravina as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1993 has assisted in attracting tourism and accelerated the reclaiming of the site. In 2019, Matera was declared a European Capital of Culture.
Gwanghwamun Gate is the main and largest gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, first constructed in 1395. It was constructed as the main gate to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main and most important royal palace during the Joseon Dynasty.
During the 1592 Japanese invasion, it was destroyed by fire and left in ruins for over 250 years.
Concrete Gwanghwamun with the Japanese Governor General Building, which stood until 1996.
Gwanghwamun was reconstructed in 1867 along with the rest of Gyeongbokgung Palace by the order of regent Daewongun during the reign of Emperor Gojong. The gate stood until 1926, when the Japanese government had it deconstructed and moved it just to the southeast of the current location of the National Folk Museum of Korea to make way for the massive Japanese Governor General Building.
The Korean War completely destroyed the wooden structure of Gwanghwamun, and its stone base lay in complete disrepair and neglect. In 1968, during Park Chung-hee's administration, the stone base was again relocated in front of the Japanese Governor General Building. The destroyed wooden structure was rebuilt in concrete, while the sign on Gwanghwamun was written in hangul by Park himself. Gwanghwamun remained as a concrete gate until late 2006

It is night, I am on the lake shore, without my headlamp I can't see past the end of my nose, and I am going to photograph the Milky Way above the Dent's d'Ambin, in the French Alps. Yes, I wanted to take this shot, from this spot, since a long time, but being in the middle of the night in certain alpine places, with the right weather conditions and lunar absence always requires a lot of planning.
You really have to try to do these things to properly understand what I'm talking about. But in the end, you just need to be determined and things get done sooner or later :-) I will post on my new YouTube channel a video about this experience.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, being in the high mountains, surrounded by the peace and darkness of the night, always has a real regenerating power for my soul, whether I manage to take home the desired shot or not.
Especially in this period, during which phobia reigns supreme in the plains, the mountain reminds us about human precariousness and sense of constant risk, which must be accepted if we want to live, rather than just survive.
The majesty of the mountain relocates everything on a larger scale, we can even touch the cosmos "with our hands”, and thus it becomes clear the duty to give real value to the UNIQUE opportunity that each of us has to be here, now, on this planet.
The value of every single moment.

"So Lo Pun (Chinese: 鎖羅盆) is a village in the northeastern New Territories of Hong Kong, within the Plover Cove Country Park. It is located northwest of Lai Chi Wo and northeast of Kuk Po. Today, the village is derelict and is uninhabited. Descendants of the former inhabitants have either emigrated abroad or have relocated to more urbanized parts of Hong Kong.
According to urban legend, the village is haunted. Hikers have also reported that compasses tend to stop working when they enter the village area, leading to the village being dubbed 'So Lo Pun', which in Chinese literally means that 'the compass is locked'." -- Wikipedia
