That's what I decided to do when I spotted these Sunflowers. I started with What if and finished with Why Not : )

The Sunflower:
Helianthus is a genus comprising about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the daisy family Asteraceae commonly known as Sunflowers. Except for three South American species, the species of Helianthus are native to North America and Central America.
The best-known species is the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), whose round flower heads in combination with the ligules look like the Sun. This and other species, notably Jerusalem artichoke are cultivated in temperate regions and some tropical regions as food crops for humans, cattle, and poultry, and as ornamental plants.

The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse, built in 1881, is a squaretapered wooden lighthouse with an attached dwelling. The lighthouse is located on the eastern tip of Prince Edward Point, Ontario. Besides the combined 7.8-metre (26 foot) lighthouse and keeper’s residence, the lightstation also includes a detached shed. The lighthouse was automated in 1941 and operated until 1959 when it was replaced by a steel skeleton tower.
The lighthouse is associated with various shipwrecks that occurred in this area, colloquially called the “Graveyard of Lake Ontario”.
The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse supported the shipping industry, marking a safe avenue for commercial ships travelling through the waters of Lake Ontario for nearly 80 years. The lighthouse marks the only protected harbour for a distance of approximately 60 nautical miles.
Prince Edward Point Lighthouse was recognized as a Heritage Lighthouse in 2015. (Parks Canada)

The end of the trail at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, the lighthouse is a good spot to look for sea ducks during migration, as well as gulls and cormorants. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded on the trails and lake.

Pigeon Point lighthouse was built in 1872 to assist ships with navigating the crushing tides in this region, which had claimed multiple victims prior to its construction. Namely, the Carrier Pigeon cargo vessel which was wrecked in 1853 while en route from Boston to San Francisco, giving way to the name Pigeon Point.
Pigeon Point lighthouse still remains a navigational landmark, but the original lens has been replaced by an electronic light outside the lens room and the lighting is completely automated.
These folks have replaced the traditional barking dog with ‘guard cacti’. Really who says cacti in everyday speak? The fence is only in the front of the property and does not extend around the side. Obviously there are plans for more cactus plants in the future. I think there should be a sign saying, “Beware of Cacti. Get the point? You could be stuck until the police arrive.” As Robin would say, “Holy prickly situation, Batman.”
The famous Old Neptune pub on the beach at Whitstable ideally located for sunset shots, so we were always happy to give it a go for sunset and if there wasn't one then it was a nice replace to relax in with a cool drink
Replaced the original portrait image with this landscape one as it suits the fine scene at the top of Padley Gorge better.
Let's call it "progressive insight" I was not completely satisfied with the first edit, the white balance wasn't spot on and it looked over edited. So this is version 2.

The gardens evolved from an earlier formal Baroque garden laid out around Stowe House, home of the Temple-Grenville family. In about 1718 Richard Temple, Baron (later Viscount) Cobham decided to replace that formal garden with one that was more in keeping with his own sense of what a garden ought to be.

Geladas are the world's most terrestrial primates—except for humans. As mostly grass-eaters, they are the last surviving species of ancient grazing primates that were once numerous.
Gelada males are larger and hairier than females. The leader male is dominant to all other members of his family unit, but is eventually replaced by a younger rival. The fights during these replacements can be vicious and noisy. A strict dominance hierarchy exists among the females in a family unit as well.

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foro_Romano
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.
I replaced new Nagai's silicon plug cord for the first time in more than a dozen years. The cause of the malfunction was the deterioration of the plug cord.
The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.
Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.

During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.
The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.
In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.
In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.

Located in the Ostiense district of Rome, its original appearance underwent a restructuring in period style and the mosaic of its façade was replaced because it was destroyed. Inside you can find a coffered ceiling and eighty columns of granite, also we have some beautiful remnants of the original basilica.

Notice the green tinged feather tips on the black crown. This wouldn't be so prominent in a fall adult male. Also in an adult male the black on the throat would reach the bottom of the lower beak, and this bird has some yellow feathering there. A minority of adult females have a rather full hood, and can look similar to males. Notice the beak is more brown in fall birds of this species as opposed to a black bill in spring birds. Many warbler species sport a lighter bill color in the fall.
This young bird is in fresh fall plumage. Adult birds replace all feathers prior to migration, which is a good thing since many are worn from frequent trips thru vegetation to feed young. First fall birds like the one above don't replace wing or tail feathers this first molt, which is not so crucial as the feathers are fairly new anyhow. This partial molt of first fall birds often allows one to see what is called a molt limit. This is perhaps easier to see in birds with wing bars, but the alula, and adjacent primary coverts can give a clue as well. If not sure where the alula and primary coverts are in the image above a quick google search, or a glance at a bird guide should help. You can see how dark the alula and primary coverts are in comparison to the fresh olive plumage directly adjacent and closer to the face.

This was made with my first attempt to create a texture. It's quite basic made using watercolor paper and charcoal, scanned into the computer. Unfortunately I hadnt realised the paper was too large for the scanner so it was quite what I had wanted. The photo has had the usual treatment in photomatix and photoshop.

On the National Register of Historic Places is the Sacramento Southern Pacific Railroad Depot an elegant passenger terminal built in 1925 designed by San Francisco architectural firm Bliss & Faville to replace the third Sacramento railroad depot. A gorgeous structure well preserved and still active for passenger traffic. The interior pictured here is typical of the grand train depots of that era, when train transit was still king as the automobile industry was in its infancy and the toys of the wealthy and aviation was a new weapon for the military. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @visitsacramento @visitcalifornia @southern.pacific

Nowadays, the local trains on the Douro line are made with the "camello" railcars, rented from Renfe. These units will be replaced in 2023 when the new "Flirt" railcars purchased by CP from Stadler begin to arrive. In the picture we see a 592.2 series railcar with a local train from Marco de Canaveses to Régua, meandering the Douro river, near Aregos.
In September 1958, The Public Establishment for Installation of La Défense (EPAD) buildings (of which the Esso Tower was the very first) were built and began to slowly replace the city's factories, shanties, and even a few farms.
To all veterans of all branches: Thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you set for us all. To all those who have served, and those who continue to serve… Happy Veterans Day!

When I turned 18 I was up for the draft as the Vietnam War was raging on. Rather than dodge bullets I enlisted in Rickover's Navy nuclear engineering program, getting a great education I later served as a nuke on 2 boomer submarines, deep underwater for a total of 577 days safe from any bullets. Was quite a unique experience. Was hard but joining the Navy was one of the best decisions I ever made. Came out a better man. And as it turned out I would have been drafted...my number came up.
We celebrate our veterans in America on this date. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
"In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks from Birmingham, Alabama, had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the idea of National Veterans Day. Congress amended the bill on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since." Wiki

i don't like to share two similar pictures on the same day, i wanted to replace the previuos one wiht this one, but i hate to replace after some of you already commented, so, two for today, in hope that this one is a little bit more interesting...
explored, thank you!
I replaced the small perch wih a stick I had found at one of the rapids in the Rio Grande. I put the camera on the tripod a few feet way. Then I set up my Canon R7 to be controlled by the Canon app in my iPhone while I was inside the house. Then just waited, and waited. And then waited some more. Finally, my small friend showed up late in the day as the light was going down. In my excitement I did not raise the ISO. I was lucky to get one sharp frame at 1/15 sec.
UPDATED Image replaced 13-02-2026 (found during a Lightroom Catalogue re-build) The image on the LEFT was the ORIGINAL POST, the image on the RIGHT is the REAL COLOUR of LEO (being confirmed that it IS him) a neighbours cat (in MORNING light) who sadly passed away over 10 years ago.😭😭😭

Last year, in Spring, our garden was full of colourful blooms but, with the amount of rain which fell in our absence, a lot of plants did not survive :(
I feel blessed that our home didn't get flooded like many others, though : after all, flowering plants can always be replaced !
Betnava Castle
Schloss Betnava
ENG:
The modern Betnava mansion replaced a medieval court, which was first mentioned in medieval written sources in 1313 as the court of Rudolf, a Maribor citizen and former provincial clerk in Breg near Maribor. The second reliable mention of Betnava can be found in a document from 1363: it is mentioned as Paldrumss hoff – Paltram's manor, i.e. the manor of Rudolf's son Paltram (I). In a document from 1378, Rudolf's grandson Paltram (II) is referred to as von Wintnaw – from Betnava – and this is the first explicit mention of Betnava. Probably at the beginning of the 16th century, but certainly before 1526, the Auerspergs became the owners. In 1555, Volf Engelbert Auersperg sold the estate to his brother-in-law Luka Szekely, and in 1587, the Herbersteins became the owners. In 1677, Janez Jakob Count Khisl bought the castle, but it burned down in 1685. The building was supposedly only restored by the Counts of Brandis, who inherited Betnava along with other associated estates in 1727. Betnava remained in the possession of the Brandis family until 1863, when it became the summer residence of the bishops of Lavant. In 1941, the German occupiers took the manor away from the diocese, and after the war it became state property.
GER:
Das moderne Herrenhaus Betnava ersetzte einen mittelalterlichen Hof, der erstmals 1313 in mittelalterlichen Schriftquellen als Hof von Rudolf, einem Bürger von Maribor und ehemaligen Provinzbeamten in Breg bei Maribor, erwähnt wurde. Die zweite zuverlässige Erwähnung von Betnava findet sich in einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1363: Es wird als „Paldrumss hoff“ – Paltrams Hof, d. h. der Hof von Rudolfs Sohn Paltram (I) – erwähnt. In einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1378 wird Rudolfs Enkel Paltram (II.) als „von Wintnaw“ – aus Betnava – bezeichnet, und dies ist die erste explizite Erwähnung von Betnava. Wahrscheinlich zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts, aber sicherlich vor 1526, wurden die Auerspergs zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1555 verkaufte Volf Engelbert Auersperg das Anwesen an seinen Schwager Luka Szekely, und 1587 wurden die Herbersteins zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1677 kaufte Janez Jakob Graf Khisl das Schloss, das jedoch 1685 niederbrannte. Das Gebäude wurde vermutlich erst von den Grafen von Brandis wieder aufgebaut, die Betnava zusammen mit anderen dazugehörigen Gütern 1727 erbten. Betnava blieb bis 1863 im Besitz der Familie Brandis, dann wurde es zur Sommerresidenz der Bischöfe von Lavant. 1941 nahmen die deutschen Besatzer das Gut der Diözese weg, und nach dem Krieg ging es in Staatsbesitz über.
This is the disused railway bridge connecting Hayling Island to the mainland. This has been closed since 1963 when British Rail decided that the cost of replacing the bridge which was necessary at that time outweighed the benefits.

The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists and Church Army all used 'Gospel cars' in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Within Methodism, horsedrawn wagons were partly replaced by hand-pushed 'trek carts' in the inter-war years, and finally by deaconess' caravans in the 1950s. Gospel Cars were used for ministry in markets, fairgrounds, at overnight moorings for barge and boat people, and to traveller camps, and to reach rural locations.
This faithful reproduction of Car No 11 was built in 2011, and is currently housed on the Boat Dock at the Black Country Living Museum. This serves to link it within the museum campus with one of the historically marginalized groups - the boat and barge people - to whom the Gospel Car missioners were reaching out. The inside of the Gospel Car can be viewed from the front platform even when no-one is specifically on duty, so visitors can see for themselves how the Gospel Car operated. It was a little home on wheels - what are seats during the day were beds at night. It was a little church on wheels - the bigger audience would be addressed from the platform while the smaller audience would be invited inside. It was a little audio-visual centre - see the organ and the pictures hanging from the wall. What you may not see, because they are stored out of sight, are the gramophone, the percussion band instruments and the magic lantern. It sounds wonderful, but with walls of just a single plank thick it would certainly be very very cold on many a winter night.
At this site in 1834, thousands marched to support the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The clock tower was built in 1855 by the Metropolitan Cattle Market as a centrepiece. The cattle market has since been replaced by Smithfield's Meat Market and is now a recreational park.
1959 Buick
In 1959, General Motors design staff had undertaken a major update of the Buick line, which most consumers really liked and admired. The 1959 Buicks were introduced to the public on September 16, 1958, and model year production was 285,089 units, or 5.1 percent of the total vehicle market.
Buick offered 17 models for 1959, including the LeSabre, the lowest priced series that replaced the Special series. The Century nameplate had disappeared again, and the Electra was part of the luxury series.
The 1959 lineup offered impeccable styling. I always thought the 1959 Buick models were great looking designs. The Electra 225 was a very popular model; its name came from the overall length of the car in inches. George H. Dammann, in his book “Seventy Years of Buick, said, “The new Buicks were completely new cars, resembling nothing that ever rolled out of Flint before, and having no common ties with other General Motors styles.”
Both power brakes and power steering were standard on the Electra Series, but cost a total of $150 extra on other Buick models. The 1959 Buicks also offered the popular panorama windshield and vent windows in the front doors. The four-door hardtop design models offered a one-piece rear door glass and a rear window design that wrapped around to meet the door glass. The tailfin design was very unique compared to other vehicles on the road during the 1950s.
The 1959 Buick convertible served as the pace car for the Indy 500 race. The Electra 225 convertible was priced at $4,192. The most popular 1959 Buick model was the Electra 225 series; GM offered a four-door hardtop which sold for $ 4,300 and had a total production run of 10,491 units. The LeSabre models were also very popular. Two Buick models were available as station wagons: the Invicta series priced at $3,841 or the LeSabre series at $3,320
The press reports on the 1959 Buicks were very favorable, and Motor Trend magazine named the 1959 Buick Invicta four-door hardtop the “best looking car overall,” a huge honor for GM.
In conclusion, the 1959 Buick models were quite different from the previous model year and offered the most revolutionary changes in GM’s lineup for the 1959 model year. Some of the traditional model names like Special and Roadmaster were gone, but Buick’s great styling will always be a part of GM’s legacy for many generations to come.

Still standing, in need of some TLC. These old Ontario barns are beauties to behold, but unfortunately are being replaced by modern sheet-metal boxes with zero character.
The OLI motor had been bouncing back and forth on the Zephyr for a few weeks as I was prepping my move from Ottumwa. Despite being a filthy mess, the front end still looked decent in the sun. This day had been fairly cloudy for most of it, but the sun came out at the right time for the late station stop. I wanted to be sure to grab this view that will be impossible in short order as the platforms are being replaced and the depot will soon be shielded by a beautiful new canopy.
Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style. (Wikipedia)
Snow plow Sunday, well not exactly, a pair Amtrak RS-3's are working this flanger extra, clearing track 4 at Attleboro after a good size snow storm. Amtrak RS-3 137 & RS-3 144 were built by Alco for the New Haven RR in 1950 & 1952. The Alco's were short lived on Amtrak and they soon were sold off and or retired and replace by a group of rebuilt GP-9's painted in bright orange MOW paint. Some shots of those at work in the future.

Farmall 656 tractor sitting next to a couple of grain bins near Alvo, NE. The coffee can on the exhaust is not a factory item.
Destined to replace the 06 series, the 56 series was introduced in 1965 with a single model: the 656. International’s Farmall 656 was billed as a 12-month worker, efficient enough to handle lighter utility work and powerful enough to pull a 4-5 bottom plow.
The Farmall 656 was released as an individual model without much fanfare. In the first production year, only Farmall versions of 656 were available. Customers could order their 656 with one of two available six-cylinder engines. The C-263 gasoline or LP engine provided about 64 horsepower at the power takeoff. The D-282 diesel offered about the same power but with more torque, longevity, and fuel efficiency.
Quite apart from its famed cathedral, the old town of Chartres is, itself, endlessly fascinating. Its narrow winding streets and alleys lead steeply down from the cathedral to the Eure river, passing rows of shops, a Romanesque church and several half-timbered houses. In medieval times Chartres was in fact two towns: a pilgrim village centred around the cathedral and an industrial town along the river. These days the mills and waterwheels of the industrial town are long gone, replaced by private houses, gardens and picturesque stone bridges. Their quiet charm forms a relaxing counterpoint to the high drama and magnificence of the cathedral.
