The University of Coimbra (UC; Portuguese: Universidade de Coimbra) is a Portuguese public university in Coimbra, Portugal. First established in Lisbon in 1290, it went through a number of relocations until moving permanently to Coimbra in 1537. The university is among the oldest universities in continuous operation in the world, the oldest in Portugal, and played a influential role in the development of higher education in the Portuguese-speaking world. In 2013, UNESCO declared the university a World Heritage Site, noting its architecture, unique culture and traditions, and historical role.
I liked this spot and would have stayed longer but this cracking sound in the cliff above me was a warning sign to relocate quickly. Then the rocks began to fall… Be careful out there friends.
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.
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.
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.
Discovered on a purple calla lily, in my greenhouse.
No caterpillars were harmed in the making of this photograph, although I did tenderly relocate it to a sheltered spot outside in the garden.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
WBD Z-WSPALT6-18A keeps us from relocating any further. Once you get a spot, its tough to move when they run in fleets on the Fe! Ransom, IL.
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.
That relocated headlight lets you know the leader on Norfolk Southern's train 290 wasn't always a thoroughbred. NS 3553 was built in 1979 for the Burlington Northern; BNSF sold it as surplus at the turn of the Century. Helm Financial had it in leasing service until 2013 when Norfolk Southern bought it and others to add to their fleet.

This American robin and Northern cardinal decided to use the same (relocated) tree stump in the back yard. I liked the pose with them looking at me but facing opposite. I hope this Easter finds everyone in good health. I think we've finally cleared the three days of heavy rain and will now need to start mowing lawns in earnest.
After relocating two of its three C424m’s to the rear of the train, the remaining unit leads the westbound Delaware & Hudson Griegsville salt train out of Hornell, New York. The entire train can be seen her, including the two units on the rear of the train. The former Erie Hornell shops can be seen in the distance, sporting a huge “GENERAL ELECTRIC“ sign. On this day, several Apache Railway C420’s were in the house.
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.

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.

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.

[7]... Now the Militia has relocated all civilians into these shack towns near the Swamp. They say it is for common good, but no one here believes that. They say the gangs have grown so big that it would be "too dangerous to live out there", and it is easier to guard these new ghettos. Yes, it certainly is easier to guard these areas, but it is also easier to keep the crowd under control. Te Militia controls everything in here. They decide who drink, who eat, who live. We no longer know, which is a worse fate. To be pushed around by Militia or the gangs. But it won't be long, until we are free from both of them. The uprise is coming...[9]
We have quite a bit to see in this photo, so please enlarge and take a look around. This is the former Australian National Underwater Training Centre which worked in conjunction with the Australian Maritime College here at Beauty Point. The training centre was relocated to South Australia, but a new commercial venture has opened in its place: Commercial Dive Academy.

The fishing trawler Concorde RDX, in bright red livery, is an attractive sight. Along the wharf the tugboat "Risdon Cove" is parked and waiting to be called into service.
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.

Ontario Southland Railway GP9 #102 works the Woodstock Job today. 102 was the last GP9 ever built (Algoma Central 172), and has since had some modifications done after it was sold to OSR. The headlight was moved to the nose, and the bell relocated to the cab, giving it a more traditional Canadian look. Here it is going alongside Beachville Road as it heads into Ingersoll.
