Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plover_Cove_Reservoir:
Plover Cove Reservoir, located within Plover Cove Country Park, in the northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. It is the world's first freshwater coastal lake constructed from an arm of the ocean. Its main dam, which disconnected Plover Cove from the sea, was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Mun_Tsai:
Sam Mun Tsai (三門仔) is an area and a village in Yim Tin Tsai, Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
Sam Mun Tsai is one of the villages represented within the Tai Po Rural Committee. For electoral purposes, Sam Mun Tsai is part of the Shuen Wan constituency, which was formerly represented by So Tat-leung until October 2021. Sam Mun Tsai New Village or Sam Mun Tsai San Tsuen (三門仔新村) is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
The fishermen now residing in Sam Mun Tsai New Village used to live on boats at the original Sam Mun Tsai, close to Tai Kau of Luk Heung, now at the northeastern shore of Plover Cove Reservoir. They were relocated to their current residence in 1966, as a result of the construction of the Plover Cove Reservoir. At the time, 36 families were moved to housing on land. Extensive renovation work was conducted at the Sam Mun Tsai Fishermen's Village in 2006-2007.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Shi_Chau:
Ma Shi Chau (馬屎洲 literally "Horse Dung Island") is an island of Hong Kong, under the administration of Tai Po District. It is located in Tolo Harbour in the northeast New Territories (near Sam Mun Tsai). It is connected with another island, Yim Tin Tsai, by a tombolo traversable at low tide.
It was previously known as No Kot Chai and No Kot Choi (螺角洲).
Building the Intercolonial Railway back in the 1860s and 1870s was not for the faint of heart. ICR Chief Engineer Sanford Fleming endured more than a decade of engineering challenges in order to link Halifax with the western markets of Quebec City and Montreal.
A few site were more complicated than others like this one, located a mile and a half west of St.Noël, Fleming, in order to save the cost of building a bridge over Tartigou River, had it's construction crew bore a tunnel thru the rock in order to reroute the river away from the not yet constructed roadbed.
Talk about ingenuity !
The rock debris, issued when ICR crews pierced the roadbed thru the same rock cut, was used to stabilize the embankment along with keeping an acceptable rolling grade.
I made the walk -in heavy rain no less- from St.Noël to the tunnel on a cold autumn day, hoping to catch Campbellton-bound L562 passing the site of one of Fleming's legacy.

In the mid-15th century, Bauska castle was built by the Germans of the Livonian Order. A small town called Schildburg grew on the narrow peninsula formed by the Mūsa and Mēmele rivers. Around 1580 by the order of Duke Gotthard Kettler this settlement was relocated to the present location of Bauska Old Town, eventually receiving city rights sometime before 1609.
UP GP40-2 1361 leads a local in Superior, WI. Once a regular unit on the Harvard Sub, the elimination of ATS in favor of PTC has caused it to be reassigned up here to the other end of Wisconsin.
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.

A quick trip to the Springfield Conservation Nature Center found this Canadian goose (Branta canadensis) relocating with a splash.
Cornell Labs says this about their larger cousin: "The “giant” Canada Goose, Branta canadensis maxima, bred from central Manitoba to Kentucky but was nearly driven extinct in the early 1900s. Programs to reestablish the subspecies to its original range were in many places so successful that the geese have become a nuisance in many urban and suburban areas." Lawns mowed to the water's edge encourage them to stay local.
thanks to brenda starr for the texture...she has free ones available at www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/4485511681/in/pool-140.... if i can get my head around textures i'll definitely be saving up for some of the flypapers from borealnz...jill your images are amazing and i'm saving my $'s :).
starting to get colder here so i'm jealous of all the spring shots from my contacts. thought i'd enjoy a tasty mac's dark beer and have some fun in photoshop. have a great weekend everyone!

I don't care for staging shots at all, but sometimes, when I find a bug on the side of the house, shooting it right there can make for a pretty boring backgound. This broad-nosed weevil is the species Otiorhynchus raucus and it was one of those - on the (light grey) side of the house.
I therefore took the liberty of relocating it two meters and place it one a leaf in the garden and proceeded to shoot it there instead.
This was shot at 2.7:1 magnification and is a short focus stack of three exposures as it was kind enough to stay still for me.
I'm in the middle of a front porch remodel. I had to move all the furniture, etc. off before the workers got here yesterday. When I took down the curtains, this little beauty was exposed. This is the creature that keeps my cats entertained (usually in the middle of the night) by jumping onto my bedroom window. When he first came down onto the railing his whole body was dark like his head. This all happened really quickly. Then when he landed on this white railing, he started to turn colors. On the left just his backside and back legs had changed. When I finally got him to the ground on the mulch he was pretty much white all over. God's creation! I think he's relocated somewhere else by now.
Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you," 1 Peter 1:3-4
CPR Water Tower was bult in 1904 in the District of MacGregor and relocated in 1987 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum Homesteaders' Village in Austin Manitoba Canada
This water tower was originally built by the CPR at MacGregor and donated and moved to the Museum in 1987. It is the only water tower known to have been moved.
When rail lines were constructed through Manitoba, the railways had to construct water towers along the lines as steam locomotives needed water on a regular basis. These tanks were constructed at regular intervals along rail lines These towers held about 40,000 gallons (about 180,000 litres) of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently.
In most cases, water had to be pumped into the water towers from a lake or creek. At times the railways had to construct significant facilities to supply water to the track side tanks. The MacGregor tower was gravity filled from Jacksons Lake, seven miles south of Sidney, some 15 miles from MacGregor. In other cases, dams were built on creeks or rivers to assure the railway of an adequate supply.
The tower is 54 feet high and consists of two separate structures. The 40,000 gallon inner tub is made of 3″ thick cedar and is supported by 16′ square timbers, 22′ high in the air. The height provides the gravity pressure needed to fill the locomotives.
The outer shell, which is not attached to the tub, simply serves as an insulated cover for the water. By having a stove at the bottom of the building during the winter months, the outside shell would prevent the water from freezing. It was quite common that railway water towers in eastern Canada did not have the outer shell as winter weather was not as severe as in Western Canada. These outer shells were not often found on US railroads either as these roads were further south enjoying warmer winter weather.
CPR and CNR wooden water tower designs were quite similar. Apparently the CNoP, a predecessor to the CNR, and the CPR had a close relationship with each other when the CNoP first appeared as MacKenzie and Mann, owners of the CNoP, had been very reliable construction contractors for the CPR. They were able to borrow a number of building plans from the CPR which partially explains why CPR and CNR buildings in the west often appear quite similar.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIZION AND BY THE TIME YOU SEE THIS THEY WILL ALL BE IN A MUCH SAFER PLACE
Most spiders don't enjoy the indoor climate here very much. It is generally way to dry for them and even though they might be drawn to the warmer temperatures, the low humitidy will kill them (with some exceptions).
The common candy-striped spider (Enoplognatha ovata) like this male are definitely better off outside so when I found him on a wall inside I swiftly relocated him to the garden - and tooka couple of shots of course!
The "candy stripe" part of the name is a reference to the female which is a paler colour with a pinkish-red stripe along the abdomen.

Old Rhine Estuary
The Rhine once flowed into the North Sea where Katwijk is now located. The river at that time formed the northern border of the Roman Empire from the second century BC to the fifth century AD. These so-called Limes, which stretched along the Rhine and Danube to the Black Sea and then into India, served as a line of defence.
The Romans built Fort Brittenburg to defend the mouth of the Rhine, where Katwijk played an important role as an army camp.
Until the seventeenth century, the remains of Fort Brittenburg sometimes appeared at very low water levels, but after that it disappeared for good in the North Sea bed. Diving expeditions in the 1960s also yielded nothing.
When the Lek and Waal had developed as the most important branches of the Rhine for shipping around 1900, the Old Rhine began to silt up more and more. The 'relocation' of the Rhine estuary from Katwijk to Hoek van Holland was finalized by the construction of the Nieuwe Waterweg between Rotterdam and the North Sea. From 1863, this four-kilometers sailing route made Rotterdam more accessible for increasingly larger seagoing vessels.
The current Old Rhine is therefore a remnant of the course of the former Rhine. The river is 52 km long, started in the early Middle Ages near the city of Utrecht and ran via the Utrecht Oude Rijn and Vleutense Wetering to Harmelen.
The Old Rhine now flows past Woerden, Bodegraven, Alphen aan den Rijn, Leiden, Valkenburg and Rijnsburg to Katwijk. The water of the Old Rhine ends up in the North Sea via the King Willem Alexander Pumping Station.
I just thought I needed to know
when things become skew-whiff
and recollection is on the go
for reality to steal the show, as if!
that solace is found in the comfort of memory
a souvenir footnote at the end of the day
visually situate, that moment no longer allusory
for it's finding is now here to stay!

Key West Cemetery was relocated from Higgs Beach to this site in 1847 after being ravaged by a hurricane the previous year.Over 75000 people are interred here in in-ground and crypt style graves,given the closeness to sea level.Some prominent memorials in the cemetery include those to the Battleship Maine Disaster and one honoring those who served in the 1868 Cuban Revolution.Cultural diversity is in prominent display here as sites range from elaborate markers to simple headstones.
