The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (PPFMOS, formerly known as the Miami Science Museum) is a science museum, planetarium, and aquarium located in Miami, Florida, US. Originally located in Coconut Grove, the museum relocated to Museum Park in the downtown area adjacent to the Perez Art Museum Miami in 2017.
In March 2011, Miami native Phillip Frost and his wife, Patricia, donated $35 million to the construction of a new science museum in Downtown Miami. The museum was designed by London-based Grimshaw Architects, and Miami’s Rodriguez & Quiroga Architects Chartered played an executive role.
The new 250,000 sq ft (23,000 m2) Philip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (PPFMOS) opened on May 8, 2017 in Museum Park in downtown Miami. The new museum includes: the Frost Planetarium, a 250-seat full-dome screen with a diameter of 67 feet (20 m) and a 16-million-color, 8K projection system; a three-story, cone-shaped, 500,000-US-gallon (1,900,000 L) aquarium with a 31-foot (9.4 m) diameter oculus lens at the bottom for viewing the fish and sharks; and the Knight Learning Center with four classrooms.

The Mission Nombre de Dios Museum opened on September 4, 2010 in conjunction with the 445th anniversary celebration of the City of St. Augustine, Flroida and the relocation of the casket of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the founder of the city. The Mission Museum is an entity of the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine and is administered by the Mission Nombre de Dios and Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche.
The Mission Museum building was made possible through a donation from the Robert Ellert and JoAnn Crisp-Ellert estate. Planning and development of the museum was under the direction of the 1565 Committee. The 1565 Committee was originally formed to assist the diocese in preserving the records of the archives.
Exhibits Include:
The original casket of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, founder of the city of St. Augustine, dating to 1574. Menéndez, whose remains were in this casket until 1924, is buried in his hometown of Avilés, Spain.
Artifacts uncovered on the mission grounds during archaeological excavations led by Kathy Deagan, Ph.D. University of Florida
A replica of the oldest written European documents in the U.S.
Coquina stones from 1875 foundation of a shrine chapel built by Augustin Verot, the first bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine
A diorama (hand carved description) of the first parish Mass in the U.S. celebrated by Fr. Francisco López de Mendoza Grajales on September 8, 1565.
Chalices and vestments from archives of the Diocese of St. Augustine.
A reproduction of the 1155 document from Avilés, Spain.
A 15 minute documentary featuring the reenactment of the 1565 founding of St. Augustine, the transfer of the casket in 1924 and 2010, and dedication of the museum on September 4, 2010.
A selection of painting by JoAnn Crisp-Ellert, renowned artist.

Hunkering in on a very windy day on a vernal pond near the bay, the Black-necked Stilts occasionally relocated themselves in the crowd.

A former Conrail Dash-8 lead a MOW train east through Westfield. This particular C40-8W is one of only a couple that have had the ditch lights relocated from below the anti-climber to above it, making for a slightly unique look.
This brown chafer (Serica brunnea) had taken a wrong turn somewhere and was crawling around inside my house when my wife found it.
So with the camera in my other hand, I brought it outside into the garden and placed it on a random pink flower for an impromptu photo session and this one came out better than expected.
Eight-wheeler locomotive 1008 was built at Kingston, Ontario, in 1910. When it was taken out of service in 1957 it was relocated to one of the last remaining stretches of original Grand Trunk Railway track at a site near Upper Canada Village.

Driving back from Rio Celeste, we pulled over to capture this incredible tree with the backdrop of the dormant Volcan Miravalles ( 6653 ft). And just across the road was another stunning view of the Tenorio Volcano national park which unfortunately was silhouetted by the late afternoon sun. This is highway 6 which divides the 2 volcanic national parks.

Thanks so much for your visits and mails……I do miss you and hope things will be back to normal in a month. Don't worry about commenting since I won't be able to reciprocate as I used to do until my relocation is complete. All I want to do is try to upload my last memories of Costa Rica and my thoughts of these places in these last few days before they fade…..
I grew up here from 4 to 13 years old. My parents were part of a commune that relocated to the desert from the California Coast, for multiple and complicated reasons. Most of my first memories were of this land, including this truck stop that we had fixed up and run.
We just called it Oasis, like the exit it was located at. In a sense, it was an oasis in the desert for the folks who would have driven by on I-80. I wonder what some of them must have thought about all those earnest, mainly happy young hippies.
This is the view from the foothills of the Pequop Mountains, the next range to the West of Oasis, which is visible as the cluster of trees and a building or two. The Silver Zone Mountains are in the background of the photo. I-80 is the road that you can see stretch between the two mountain ranges.
The next time you might be driving past here, now you have a story about a kid from the area :)

The fabulous and unique BAC221 WG774 on display in the Concorde Hall at the FAA Museum, Yeovilton
WG774 started life as one of a pair of Fairey Delta 2 high speed research aircraft and was picked to test the proposed Ogee wing planform to be used on Concorde
Conversion took place by adding the new wing plan-form along with relocated and re-designed engine intakes, a new undercarriage utilising Lightning main legs and wheels plus a Fairey Gannet nose leg and wheels
The FD.2 already had a droop nose system emulating that proposed on Concorde and with a lengthened fuselage of some six feet, the 221 was longer and taller than it's original configuration
Here's a good comparison in model form to demonstrate the differences:

"Charleston is the largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston metropolitan area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers. Charleston had a population of 150,277 as of the 2020 U.S. Census. The 2020 population of the Charleston metropolitan area, comprising Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, was 799,636 residents, the third-largest in the state and the 74th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
Charleston was founded in 1670 as Charles Town, honoring King Charles II, at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River (now Charles Towne Landing) but relocated in 1680 to its present site, which became the fifth-largest city in North America within ten years. It remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period; its government was handled directly by a colonial legislature and a governor sent by Parliament. Election districts were organized according to Anglican parishes, and some social services were managed by Anglican wardens and vestries. Charleston adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783. Population growth in the interior of South Carolina influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788, but Charleston remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census.
Charleston's significance in American history is tied to its role as a major slave trading port. Charleston slave traders like Joseph Wragg were the first to break through the monopoly of the Royal African Company and pioneered the large-scale slave trade of the 18th century; almost one half of slaves imported to the United States arrived in Charleston. In 2018, the city formally apologized for its role in the American Slave trade after CNN noted that slavery "riddles the history" of Charleston." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Cuteness overload. Red squirrel (Eurasian squirrel) relocating at least 4 youngsters from one tree to another. First attempt to jump did not work out, so it is climbing down and up with the precious load.
Yangon (Burmese: ရန်ကုန်, MLCTS rankun mrui, pronounced: [jà ɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon, literally: "End of Strife") is a former capital of Myanmar (Burma) and the capital of Yangon Region. It also served as the Capital in Exile of Azad Hind. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of over five million, and is the most important commercial centre, although the military government officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in March 2006.[3]
Although Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today.[4] While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
A threatened species these zebras have found their natural habitat more and more encroached upon. There are active programs to relocate some to other areas and so to give them a chance to recover.

Bristol Flyers vs London Lions, British Basketball League (BBL) game on Sunday 2nd April 2023, at SGS WISE Arena, New Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, during the 2022-23 season.
About the photographs.
Here, we have the Bristol Flyers players doing warming up before the start of their home game against the London Lions.
The kit they wear is not the actual jersey and shorts they play in, those shirts are simply put on over their actual jersey.
In the first photograph (0030), we have one of the players warming himself up by doing some dunks, while other players watch and wait for their turn.
In the next photo (0036), this is one of the Flyers players getting the ball that may have been passed onto him. In the background, you can see the other players doing some kind of jogging as part of the warm up.
The photos were shot with a 50mm lens on the Nikon D200, and taken from my courtside seat.
The game ended with Flyers 87 – 82 Lions, after an extra time due to being tied at the end of the game.
About the teams.
The Bristol Flyers was formed in 2006 by a merger of two former Bristol based teams, the Filton Flyers and the Bristol Academy, to become known as Bristol Academy Flyers. They started in the English Basketball League, in Division 2, and one year later, they moved up to Division 1.
By 2013, they got financial backing from the owner of Bristol City football club. As part of the deal, they moved into the top level franchise based BBL, for the 2014-15 season, that was when they became known simply as Bristol Flyers. Their highest finish in BBL was 4th place during the 2021-22 season.
London Lions actually started out as Hemel Hempstead Laker in 1977, and changed their name to Hemel Royals before moving to Watford, and finally moved to Milton Keynes.
They became known as Milton Keynes Lions, and that was when their performance improved, including winning the BBL Cup during the 2007-08 season.
By 2012, due to losing their home arena in Milton Keynes, they were relocated to London, thus renamed as the London Lions.

Huge vulture of the Andes, but also ranges into lowlands in southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego. Increasingly scarce over much of its range (for example, probably less than 200 individuals in Ecuador).
We saw several Condors in the regular area around Antisana on this trip but were surprised to find this male walking around some cattle pasture on the road from Zuro Loma to Yanacocha. As there were several cattle that looked close to calving (or recently calved) we did wonder if this bird hoped to feast on the afterbirth. Anyway, a real treat to see this grounded bird at less than 100m distance and later in flight as it relocated on the hillside. Hugely impressive on all levels.
During WW2 Retford train station in Retford, Nottinghamshire was on a busy railway junction, many WVS volunteers passed through the station and used its facilities, at its peak between 1940 and 1946, the station kitchen served over 1,000 meals per day.

Rode around with a friend this past Saturday trying to get a few captures for his website.
I plowed snow myself for 4 years, so it's nice at this point to be able to enjoy a snow storm for it's beauty instead of burning myself out.
Freddy the Frog, as I called him, had a vey close shave with the lawnmower at the weekend!
Seeing him jump from just in front of the mower as I neared him, I managed to grab a couple of pics, before relocating the youngster in the neighbours garden by their pond complete with cascading pools and fountain!
I think he'll he happier there, certainly safer, have a great weekend Freddy.
