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.

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.

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.
A woman walked down to the shore of the green space with her dog, off leash. The dog proceeded to run out after this egret, causing it to relocate. She tried calling it back, but it would have nothing to do with her. She needs to use that leash, as required by law!!! First comment is moments before, as the dog charges...
This dashing male Hooded Oriole has just arrived to nest in the national forest behind my home. I rolled out the welcome mat with oriole feeders, but the honey bees got there first, like they’d RSVP’d weeks ago. I’ve tried diluted nectar, tea tree oil, bee guards, relocating the feeders like a shell game, and even set up a sugary decoy buffet to lure the bees away. No dice. Still, he struck this perfect pose before vanishing into the trees.
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.
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!
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 relocated this plant from the river bank to the garden. I didn't know it has such exotic looking seed pods. The tropical flower looks at home with the bokeh bubbles.
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.

48 Xinyong'an Rd., Shanghai
This narrow street lies in the oldest part of the former French Concession, once known as the French Bund (South Bund). In the distance, two towering landmarks of Lujiazui—the Shanghai Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC)—rise across the Huangpu River. Along this stretch, the street is lined with low-end eateries. Farther ahead, the blocks once housed leather wholesale shops, which have already been acquired and cleared. Now, the acquisition of this section has begun as well. Many eateries have already relocated, and the rest will soon follow. The shop buildings are likely to be demolished entirely.
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.
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!
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.
Relocation of a puffin (Fratercula arctica) conference

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.
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.

Dolomedes tenebrosus. This large spider was found hunting near a friend's beehives. Its legspan in this position was about 2.5 inches. It was happily relocated to good hunting grounds near water after having its picture taken.

Tenagogerris euphrosyne
Family: Gerridae
Order: Hemiptera
The Gerridae, or Water Striders, are small hemipterans or "true-bugs" - insects that feed by piercing prey and sucking the contents through the proboscis. The prey include spiders and insects. Cannibalism is common and the adults will prey upon other adults as well as larvae. On the other hand, the adults will sometimes share large prey with other adults.
Prey is located from vibrations in the water surface.
Gerridae adults will communicate with others for the purpose of mating. Several specific frequencies of vibration are produced, each frequency communicating a different message to assist in the mating process.
The Gerridae are very similar in appearance to another semiaquatic family of bugs, the Veliidae.
The striders walk on the water, thanks to surface tension and hydrophobic hairs on the legs. The hairs extend across the whole body too, making the insect able to repel splashes of water. They are so successful in their niche, that the strider family, the Gerridae, are widespread with some 1700 species described, 10% of which are marine.
The Gerridae are polymorphic in that they can have wings in one generation, when there might be a need to relocate to a new water body, however the next generation may not have wings, if the current environment is stable.
The Gerridae possess scent glands in the thorax that deter fish from eating them.

Looking to be freshly rejuvenated, an S1, possibly of Long Island origins, waits in Conrail’s Allentown Yard for a ride to its new home. The vintage Alco will soon be working for Missouri Farmer’s Association in Mexico, Missouri.

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.

This artwork, made by JS in 2015, framed a very happy moment of our Artist's Collective. It was made to ideally depict the entwinned/interwoven brotherhood among bro Jacob Sibbern (left, visible becos he is 1.83 mt tall, lol, sis WhiteAngel on the right as 1.73 mt,and bro Stefano Wolf,the tallest in the centre as 1.96 mt). Jacob painted it during his first months when he moved to Italy before definitelly relocating himself here in 2016.
White inks drawing (posca markers for the main 3 figurines & basement) plus watercolors painting on hard paper.

For 137 years, the Hotel del Coronado has stood as a monument to Gilded Age opulence, a place where presidents brushed shoulders with Hollywood’s glitterati, its Victorian architecture a timeless symbol of grandeur.
Following a $160 million restoration on track to be completed by June, the hotel’s historic Victorian neighborhood will be revitalized, blending its 1888 heritage with contemporary luxury.
The Victorian neighborhood’s restoration is part of a $550 million project, a transformation extending across its five distinct neighborhoods — bringing the resort’s total accommodations to 938 guest rooms — as well as its culinary offerings, front porch and lobby, ballrooms and more.
. . . . .
“People think they want an 1888 room,” Petrone remarked, “but I tell them, ‘No, you don’t.’”
The original rooms were sparsely furnished, with hard wooden chairs, small beds and minimal conveniences.
The redesigned interiors now feature botanical-inspired artwork, round mirrors, period-appropriate headboards, plush bedding and expanded bathrooms, marrying historical charm with contemporary luxury.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_del_Coronado
The Hotel del Coronado, also known as The Del and Hotel Del, is a historic beachfront hotel in Coronado, California, just across San Diego Bay from San Diego. A rare surviving example of an American architectural genre—the wooden Victorian beach resort—it was designated a California Historical Landmark in 1970[4] and a National Historic Landmark in 1977.[3][5] It is the second-largest wooden structure in the United States (after the Tillamook Air Museum in Tillamook, Oregon).
When the hotel opened in 1888, it was the largest resort hotel in the world.[6] It has hosted presidents, royalty, and celebrities, and been featured in numerous films and books.[7]
