Adding the last five uninspiring photos taken two days ago. Not the best quality, but posting for my own records.
The day before yesterday, 17 March 2022, I took a last-minute afternoon drive SE of Calgary. The sun was shining and I just felt like getting out somewhere for a few hours. The roads are clear of snow, which makes such a huge difference.
No new roads for me this time; just checking out a few of my usual back roads. It was great to see that there was a lot of open water, both sloughs and temporary 'ponds' in fields. We have had so little snow this winter - small amounts on quite a few days - which is not going to help Alberta's drought. March is said to be our snowiest month but, so far, the weather has been beautiful. Looking at the forecast, they are expecting this mild weather to continue, even 18C for 23rd March.
My first sighting turned out to be a Bald Eagle. When I first spotted the distant dark 'blob' high up in a tree in a tangle of branches, I thought maybe it was a Great Horned Owl. It was almost impossible to get a tiny open spot to take a photo or two. (from my car window), but nice to see.
In places, there were so many birds in the fields. At first, I expected them all to be Canada Geese. However. when I zoomed in, I was delighted to see that there lots of Northern Pintail ducks scattered among the Geese. Pintails are such beautiful, elegant ducks and it is always good to see them return.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I found three Snowy Owls! The first one I found was a new (to me) bird; my fifth Snowy this winter. I had noticed a few birds in a field, mainly Canada Geese, but then took a look at one that looked different and smaller. At first, for some reason, 'gull' came to mind, but when I saw it from a slightly different angle, I realized that I was looking at a Snowy Owl, down on the ground near the Geese.
Continuing my drive, I came across two Snowy Owls, a male and a female, that I had seen before. Couldn't get a half-decent photo of either. Both were skittish, despite my sitting in my car way down the road from them.
A group of European Starlings were fun to see. Love it when they actually stay still for a moment. Though they are not popular birds with many people, they are beautiful, especially in the sunlight.
The same hytte as in the former photo. A hytte is a Norwegian term that has traditionally been used for a smaller building, especially in the mountains, by the sea or out in the woods and fields, intended for short-term accommodation and with few or no modern conveniences.
Strandavatnet is a lake in Hol municipality, Norway. The lake covers an area of 23.75 square kilometres (9.17 sq mi), and lies 975 metres (3,199 ft) above sea level.' The lake is a reservoir for the Rud hydroelectric powerstation in Hovet, Buskerud. In 1952/1953 a dam was constructed which lifted the lake level 28 meters, thus the lake varies between 950 and 978 m above sea level. Read more: www.wikiwand.com/en/Strandavatnet
Day Lily Day. Final have a flower on the Day Lily that hasn’t been deformed by the heavy rain and wind we have been experiencing.
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are perennial plants, whose name alludes to its flowers, which typically last about a day. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise, as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
Same picture as yesterday but in glorious colors...
Independence Grove, Lake County, Illinois
Which one feels colder to you? :)
The same location as the previous one on the south side of Leeds, by Wakefield Rd. signal box, looking towards Wakefield. Carriage and wagon repair shops were on the other side of the tracks (Leeds-City-Derby-St.Pancras), the sidings on the right once led to Stourton engine shed (55B).
Details: Zorki, Kodachrome 25 slide scan. Early 1976.

This Sōrin has been exhibited on the roof-top of the Seven-storied Pagoda in the site of the EXPO´70. On the occasion of this exposition, this Pagoda has been re-created by Furukawa Pavilion, in the same appearance as the Seven-storied Pagoda that once stood in the Compound of Nara´s Todai-ji Temple about 1.200years ago. And after the closing of the EXPO´70 this Sōrin has been contributed and re-established in this place on October 1971
Este Sōrin se ha exhibido en la azotea de la Pagoda de siete pisos en el sitio de la EXPO´70. Con motivo de esta exposición, esta Pagoda ha sido recreada por Furukawa Pavilion, en la misma apariencia que la Pagoda de siete pisos que una vez estuvo en el Compuesto del Templo Todai-ji de Nara hace unos 1.200 años. Y tras el cierre de la EXPO´70 este Sōrin se ha aportado y reestablecido en este lugar en octubre de 1971
The sōrin (相輪, lit. alternate rings) is the vertical shaft (finial) which tops a Japanese pagoda, whether made of stone or wood. The sōrin of a wooden pagoda is usually made of bronze and can be over 10 meters tall. That of a stone pagoda is also of stone and less than a meter long. The sōrin is divided in several sections possessing a symbolic meaning and, as a whole, in turn itself represents a pagoda. Although quintessentially Buddhist, in Japan pagodas and their sōrin can be found both at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. This is because until the Kami and Buddhas Separation Act of 1868 a Shinto shrine was normally also a Buddhist temple and vice versa. Itsukushima Shrine for example has one.
The sōrin of a wooden pagoda is usually made of bronze and is divided in several segments called (from top to bottom):
The Jewel or gem (宝珠, hōju or hōshu), a spherical or tear-shaped object, shapes sacred to Buddhism. Believed to repel evil and fulfill wishes, it can be also found on top of pyramidal temple roofs, of stone lanterns or of tall poles. It can have flames, in which case it is called kaen hōju (火炎宝珠, flaming gem). Those made before the Momoyama period tend to be rounder.
The dragon vehicle (竜車, ryūsha), the piece immediately below the hōju
The water flame (水煙, suien, lit. "water smoke"), consisting of four decorative sheets of metal set at 90° to each other and installed over the top of the main pillar of a pagoda.
The fūtaku (風鐸, lit. "wind bell"), small bells attached to the edges of a sōrin's rings or of the suien.
The nine rings (九輪, kurin), the largest component of the sōrin. In spite of their name, there can sometimes be only eight or even seven of them.
The ukebana (受花・請花, lit. "receiving flower"), a circle of upturned lotus petals, usually eight in number. There can also be another circle of petals facing down.
The inverted bowl (伏鉢, fukubachi), which sits between the ukebana and the roban.
The base or dew basin (露盤, roban, lit. "external bow"l), on which rests the entire finial. Because it covers the top of the roof in order to prevent leaks, it normally has as many sides as the roof itself (four, six or eight).
The most important stone pagoda having a finial is the hōkyōintō. Usually made in stone and occasionally metal or wood, hōkyōintō started to be made in their present form during the Kamakura period. Like a gorintō, they are divided in five main sections, of which the sōrin is the uppermost. Its components are, from the top down: Hōju, Ukebana, Kurin, Ukebana, Roban.
The sōrin sits on the kasa (笠, umbrella) or yane (屋根, roof), a stepped pyramid with four wings at the corners called mimikazari (耳飾) or sumikazari (隅飾).
The sōrintō (相輪橖) is a type of small pagoda consisting just of a pole and a sōrin.
El sōrin (相 輪, lit. anillos alternos) es el eje vertical (remate) que corona una pagoda japonesa, ya sea de piedra o madera. El sōrin de una pagoda de madera suele estar hecho de bronce y puede tener más de 10 metros de altura. La de una pagoda de piedra también es de piedra y tiene menos de un metro de largo. El sōrin está dividido en varias secciones que poseen un significado simbólico y, en su conjunto, a su vez representa una pagoda. Aunque son esencialmente budistas, en Japón se pueden encontrar pagodas y su sōrin tanto en los templos budistas como en los santuarios sintoístas. Esto se debe a que hasta la Ley de Separación de Kami y Budas de 1868, un santuario sintoísta era normalmente también un templo budista y viceversa. El Santuario Itsukushima, por ejemplo, tiene uno.
El sōrin de una pagoda de madera suele estar hecho de bronce y se divide en varios segmentos llamados (de arriba a abajo):
La joya o gema (宝珠, hōju o hōshu), un objeto esférico o con forma de lágrima, tiene formas sagradas para el budismo. Se cree que repele el mal y cumple los deseos, pero también se puede encontrar en la parte superior de los techos de los templos piramidales, en faroles de piedra o en postes altos. Puede tener llamas, en cuyo caso se llama kaen hōju (火炎 宝珠, gema llameante). Los hechos antes del período Momoyama tienden a ser más redondos.
El vehículo dragón (竜 車, ryūsha), la pieza inmediatamente debajo del hōju
La llama de agua (水煙, suien, lit. "humo de agua"), que consta de cuatro láminas decorativas de metal colocadas a 90 ° entre sí e instaladas sobre la parte superior del pilar principal de una pagoda.
El fūtaku (風 鐸, literalmente "campana de viento"), pequeñas campanas unidas a los bordes de los anillos de un sōrin o del suien.
Los nueve anillos (九 輪, kurin), el componente más grande del sōrin. A pesar de su nombre, a veces puede haber solo ocho o incluso siete.
El ukebana (受 花 ・ 請 花, literalmente "flor receptora"), un círculo de pétalos de loto vueltos hacia arriba, por lo general ocho en número. También puede haber otro círculo de pétalos hacia abajo.
El cuenco invertido (伏 鉢, fukubachi), que se encuentra entre el ukebana y el roban.
La base o cubeta de rocío (露 盤, roban, lit. "arco externo" l), sobre la que descansa todo el remate. Debido a que cubre la parte superior del techo para evitar goteras, normalmente tiene tantos lados como el techo mismo (cuatro, seis u ocho).
La pagoda de piedra más importante que tiene un remate es el hōkyōintō. Generalmente hecho en piedra y ocasionalmente en metal o madera, el hōkyōintō comenzó a fabricarse en su forma actual durante el período Kamakura. Como un gorintō, se dividen en cinco secciones principales, de las cuales la sōrin es la más alta. Sus componentes son, de arriba hacia abajo: Hoju, Ukebana, Kurin, Ukebana, Roban.
El sōrin se sienta en el kasa (笠, paraguas) o yane (屋 根, techo), una pirámide escalonada con cuatro alas en las esquinas llamada mimikazari (耳飾) o sumikazari (隅 飾).
El sōrintō (相 輪 橖) es un tipo de pequeña pagoda que consta solo de un poste y un sōrin.
