The Amtsfischerhaus in the Schnoor quarter.
The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.
First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations - like the "Amtsfischerhaus" here that was originally built in 1759.

Yangon also known as Rangoon, is the capital of the Yangon Region and the largest city of Myanmar (also known as Burma). Yangon served as the capital of Myanmar until 2006, when the military government relocated the administrative functions to the purpose-built capital city of Naypyidaw [nèpjìdɔ̀] in north central Myanmar. With over 5 million people, Yangon is Myanmar's most populous city and its most important commercial centre.
I spied this heron perched in a bush as it watched for fish. Then it made its move to a lower branch closer to the water. I liked the catchlight in the shot.
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.
It's still "Mother's Day" in my time zone so I'm sneaking this one in under the wire. Long-tailed Weasel mom relocates her youngster, half dragging half carrying. She's probably saying something like "I TOLD you not to play in the street". I'm sure our hard-working moms of the world can relate.
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.
Eagle pair that was mating relocate to somewhere else at Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware. The eye sockets look dark, but that is what they look like in several photos.
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.
Cormorants moving from one end of the pond at Delores Fenwick Nature Center to the other. About 50 birds in this mini-migration. Could have used more DoF. Pearland, Texas.
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!
At Fernald, Lodge Pond is a sure-fire spot to observe many ducks. if one is patient, afternoon light hits the ducks flying in or simply relocating across the pond. The dry weeds on the banks provide great background.

Thanks a lot for your visit, fave and comments. Its truly appreciated!
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.
RKO_5274. A well fed lioness relocating her cubs. A very rare sighting as they really protect their cubs until they can safely join the group with male lions.

Praying Mantis
A species of Mantid that I don't see very often. You can see some yellow colouring. This year we have cleared the garden alongside our driveway where these appeared from time to time. This one was on our Wisteria, looks like it has found a new home.
The Gladstone Arrows spend the weekend at Summit during an electrical outage as the first waves of an early autumn Nor'easter hit the region.
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.
Looking at this image for the past two weeks and finally decided to share it… taken while photographing hummingbirds in my neighbor’s garden.
While processing the photo, I noticed another denizen lurking on the crest of one the feeders. I asked if they had put a "fake" mantis on the feeder; but no, this was the real deal! What was it doing there? Well, I was shocked to learn that some mantises will actually eat hummingbirds! Was that going on here – I find it hard to believe given their relative sizes here! Anyway, this mantis has since been well and gently relocated to another spot in the garden. And BTW, the blurred white background stripes are edge trim on a garden shed wall.
Later in the day while doing some minor tree trimming, another mantis must have dropped onto my arm at some time. After I spotted it, I also relocated it to nearby lilacs. Strange seeing two mantises in the same day when it’s so rare to see them at all. While reading up on mantises, I found that even a single mantis sighting and/or encounter appears possibly to have beneficial spiritual connotations and two in the same day… well, what can I say? As Bill Murray in “Caddyshack” said about the blessing he received while caddying for the Dalai Lama, “I got that going for me now!”
Finally, the title of this post is the first line of the famous poem... you guessed it... "The Spider and the Fly,” written by the famous and prolific English poet and author Mary Howitt (1799–1888) and published in 1829.

BNSF's Denver-Laurel, Mont., freight emerges from a tunnel and enters the Wind River Canyon at Boysen, Wyo. The bridge and tunnel here are the result of a 1940s line relocation for the Boysen Dam, which you can see at right. The Bighorn River is also known as the Wind River for most of its path through Wyoming. This waterway meets the Yellowstone River at Fort Cass in Montana.
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!
Whiteheads / pōpokatea are gregarious songbirds that live in noisy groups of up to 8 members and that are often heard before they are seen. They are only found in the North Island where they inhabit mostly the canopy regions of tall dense forest. Their numbers have been in decline but relocations in recent years have seen some very good results with several newly established populations. Whiteheads are the only North Island hosts for the long-tailed cuckoo.
These birds are usually playing hard to get as they tend to prefer the forest canopy where there isn't much light. Hence this belly shot from way below with a some light coming in sideways! My first decent kind of shot of the white head!

One of several cottages in this street reputed to have been relocated from the gold-mining town of Walhalla.
The Victorian Railways finally completed the railway line to Walhalla in 1910, sadly about the same time that mining in the area became unprofitable and most mines closed and the residents packed up and left. The population during the gold era peaked at around 4,000 compared with today's permanent population of approximately 20 residents.
So it was somewhat ironical that the railway line's main function became the removal of houses and other buildings from the town it was built to service. Today, they are dotted over many areas of Gippsland and beyond.
With Canada Day and the concomitant fireworks coming, I decided to experiment with previous fireworks photos. I took a 2023 fireworks photo from one location and merged it with a daylight phone photo from 2026 from another location. Obviously, I darkened the daylight photo.

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.

The Royal Palace (Khmer: ព្រះបរមរាជាវាំងនៃព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា, Preah Barum Reachea Veang Nei Preah Reacheanachak Kampuchea), in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is a complex of buildings which serves as the royal residence of the king of Cambodia. Its full name in the Khmer language is Preah Barum Reachea Veang Chaktomuk Serei Mongkol (Khmer: ព្រះបរមរាជវាំងចតុមុខសិរីមង្គល).
The Kings of Cambodia have occupied it since it was built in 1860s, with a period of absence when the country came into turmoil during and after the reign of the Khmer Rouge.
The palace was constructed after King Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh in the mid-19th century. It was built atop an old citadel called Banteay Kev. It faces towards the East and is situated at the Western bank of the cross division of the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River called Chaktomuk (an allusion to Brahma).
Architect: Amanda Levette. Originally part of the M pavilion series, 2015 by the Naomi Milgram foundation and located in the Queen Victoria Gardens, now relocated to Melbourne Docklands.
Located 45 miles (railway speaking) from La Tuque on the St-Maurice subdivision, Rapides-des-Coeurs is the latest plant/dam built by Hydro-Québec about 10 years ago. Its construction required the CN roadbed to be relocated and elevated, giving its causeway aspect as seen on this picture. The St-Maurice river has changed a lot since the last "draveurs" (floating wood drivers) were on duty, about 25 years ago.
