At the end of December, after a snow and cold snap, ~200 Dunlins descended on Tsehum Harbour. Never before have I seen so many Dunlins here, and certainly not at this time of year with snow on the ground.
As the tide is high and feeding is impossible, the flock choose a few exposed outcroppings offshore from Resthaven Island to catch a snooze...
One Dunlin decided to relocate and in the process, woke it's neighbours and even stood on the back of one. Perhaps it was tired of cold feet!
If you look carefully, there is one Killdeer in the bunch, finding security in a larger flock.

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.
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.
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.
Black Skimmers relocating along the shore line on a wind swept day.
From FWC:
Appearance:
The black skimmer is a seabird with defining physical characteristics that make it easily distinguishable from others. The key physical feature of the skimmer is its large red and black bill. The bill begins to widen at the top and gradually becomes smaller as it forms a sharp tip at the end of the bill. The lower part of the bill is longer than the top, which is important because they use their bill to skim along the top of the water to catch fish, for which they are aptly named. Skimmers can reach a height of 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) with a wingspan of 3 to 3.5 feet (.9-1.1 meters) (The Cornell Lab of Ornithology 2011, E. Sachs pers. comm. 2011). Skimmers have a black back, black wings with white edging, and a white belly and head.
A view looking north on N. Main St. from E. Washington St. on the southeast corner of Bloomington's Courthouse Square. To the left is the old McLean County Courthouse, now a museum. This site was home to three previous courthouses built in 1831, 1836 and 1868. The Great Fire of 1900 destroyed the 1868 courthouse, along with 45 other buildings in the core of downtown Bloomington to little more than smoking rubble.
The courthouse shown here was designed by William Reeves and John M. Baile of the Peoria firm Reeves and Baile. The Classical Revival style structure was completed in 1903.
The fifth and current McLean County Courthouse, a modern design located 2 blocks south of this location, was completed in 1977. The courts were the first to move to the new building but until 1991, general county offices were still housed in the old courthouse. The McLean County Historical Society relocated its museum here in 1988, and today all 4 floors of the building are occupied by the McLean County Museum of History for exhibits, collections storage, and offices.
The McLean County Courthouse and Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and encompasses the old McLean County Courthouse and the courthouse-facing sides of Washington St. to the south, Center St. to the west, and Jefferson St. to the north. The historic buildings to the east of the old courthouse on the N. Main St. side of the square were destroyed by fire in the 1985. Today a contemporary office building occupies the site.
This view also shows a large section of the north side of the Courthouse Square on W. Jefferson St., along with the west side of N. Main St. all the way to the tower of the Art-Deco styled Holy Trinity Church at N. Main and W. Chestnut streets. Nearly every building in this view is listed by itself or as part of a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
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.
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.
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!
After relocation of the the airport to Chek Lap Kok (Lantau Island, Hong Kong) in 1998, the Hong Kong government planned for urban development on the old airport site. The plan calls for a multi-purpose sports complex, a metro park, the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal (the architecture in the middle front of the picture), a hotel, a housing estate, and commercial and entertainment constructions, projecting over an area of more than 328 hectares (810 acres). The plan also covered nearby development in areas including Ma Tau Wai, Kowloon City, San Po Kong, Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong.

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.
Ashikaga, Tochigi, Japan
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.
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!

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.
I couldn't find any inspiring Halloween photos downtown, so I moved this house from downtown to the woods using AI and added some extras.

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.

Biserica Bunavestire - Schitul Maicilor, Bucuresti
"The Annunciation" - Schitul Maicilor ["Nuns Skete"] Church

One of several Bucharest churches moved from their original location during the communist dictatorship and dumped behind new highrise buildings.
After the devastating earthquake of 1977 Nicolae Ceausescu realized that he can remodel Bucharest on a large scale. An area larger than historic Venice [250 hectares] was demolished to make way for a new administrative center. In total 27 orthodox churches, 6 synagogues and 3 protestant churches were demolished all over the town during that time. After a unique, brave and singular protest of several historians only 7 historically important churches were "saved" by relocation behind large buildings, to make them "invisible". The translation was technically done by first pouring a reenforced concrete foundation underneath the church and then slowly moving it to the new location on rails.
People used to joke back then that Bucharest was the only city in the world to have its own unique traffic sign: CAUTION, CROSSING CHURCHES [like the deer crossing sign]

Ceauşima [Ceausescu+Hiroshima]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C5%9Fima
Ceauşima ("Ceaushima") is a vernacular word construction in Romanian, sarcastically linking former communist leader Nicolae Ceauşescu to Hiroshima. This portmanteau term was sometimes coined in the 1980s to describe the huge urban areas of Bucharest that Ceauşescu ordered torn down, comparing the results with the nuclear attack on Hiroshima.

The location for the first synagogue in South Australia was selected by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, off of Rundle Street, on the street that would later be named Synagogue Place. The land fronting Rundle Street was bought from George Morphett for £280 in 1848, with the synagogue completed two years later in August 1850. The building was small, 35 by 25 feet, and had a capacity for 150 worshipers. It was made of stone and of an ‘Egyptian’ style, which was popular among Jewish populations in Australia during the nineteenth century. This style, reminiscent of ancient temples and sygnifying the ancient origins of Judaism, made the synagogue stand out from the surrounding buildings. The interior of the synagogue featured a partially screened women’s gallery, polished cedar pews and bronze chandeliers, and was described by The South Australian Register in 1850 as ‘handsome, appropriate, and strongly demonstrative of the liberal spirit which characterises the Jewish community in this province.’ The combined costs of buying and building the synagogue were reportedly £950. This was raised by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation through loans and donations from both the Jewish and wider Christian communities.
The synagogue, however, became inadequate within ten years of its establishment, as the Jewish community in Adelaide outgrew its capacity. Extensions were added in 1859 and 1860, with additional meeting chambers constructed adjacent to the synagogue and an extension added to the women’s gallery. However, these were not sufficient enough to meet the needs of the community, with thoughts of building a new synagogue already being entertained. In May 1870 it was decided to build on the existing site next to the original synagogue. The new synagogue was designed by South Australian architects Edmund Wright, Edward Woods and Edward Hamilton in an ‘Italian’ style, which drew influences from the architecture of the Italian renaissance. This stone building had a capacity for 370 people, dwarfing the adjacent 1850 synagogue that was converted into a classroom. This substantial building cost £1,065 and consolidated the position of the Jewish community in South Australia. The entrance to this building originally faced Rundle Street and featured a lawn and fountain leading up to it. However, the construction of the Rundle Buildings on the corner of Rundle Street and Synagogue Place during the building boom of the 1890s forced the entrance of the synagogue to move to its current location in Synagogue Place.
Further changes were made to the building in 1938, with both the synagogue and Rundle Buildings receiving a new Art Deco cement facade designed by architect Chris A. Smith. This remodeling scheme also extended the building to the footpath and included the addition of an entrance porch containing a memorial tablet to Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The synagogue building has been altered little since these renovations.
Synagogue Place remained the centre of the Jewish community in South Australia until they relocated in 1990 to a new synagogue in Glenside. The original synagogue building has since become a nightclub.

im almost 100 percent sure this was the last time we shot in this field; its since been fenced off. which is so totally unfair.
