Depicting the the scale s of both ships beautifully ..
two figures at the edge of a wall.
too small for the space.
too large to ignore.
this image doesn’t measure meters — it measures meaning.
it’s not the wall that remembers.
it’s the ones who walk through it.
What a treat to observe and photograph a "life-bird". While in Texas at the border, we took cover in a hide and first saw this lovely bird. Later, there were two quails and we watched as they both share dirt and dust to bathe in the setting sun. A ground-dwelling bird of the southwestern desert grasslands, the Scaled Quail usually runs to escape enemies rather than flying.
A couple weeks ago a productive Saturday morning saw me make a chase of a U704 out of Dubuque into Northwest Illinois. I didn't know it until I got down around Galena, but there was a meet setup for Scales Mound, Illinois, which would make for a good chase back towards home as a follow-up.
In this view courtesy the aerial camera device, U704 rolls eastward through the picturesque town of Scales Mound on the main. Led by CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 the trio is working to lift the 98 car train up the grade it has been battling since they left the Mississippi River Valley 16 miles to the west. The former Illinois Central main follows the Galena River and it's forks through the scenic Northwest Illinois countryside as the route gains elevation. In what seemed like a pretty well-timed meet, U705 on the far track with CN 3151, 2236, and 8933 arrived only a few minutes ahead of the U704, just enough time to get locked into the siding and allow the dispatcher to keep the eastbound moving. In just a few minutes with the meet complete the U705 would get the light down the hill to continue west.
Just a quickie, one that was already processed.. Not a lot of water flowing over it, water levels are dependent on Scaling dam further upstream... I like the leaves framing it from above :-)
The bronze figure was created in the 1990s by sculptor Steven Liguori. The statue was based on a photo of one of the last of the high scalers then alive -- Joe Kine.
A car with a donkey drives through a busy alley in Egypt.
On top of the car there are scales to weight lemons.
My eye was caught by the light falling on the bowls with backlight.
Sweet memories of a lovely holiday in Egypt. Nearly 20 years ago.
Lepidocyrtus paradoxus in the back and Pogonognathellus flavescens (juvenile I think) in front. Found in Lozerheide.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un château défensif et de plaisance situé à Nantes. Le château est classé monument historique depuis 1840. Le château a été construit au XVe siècle avec des éléments ajoutés aux XIVe au XVIIIe siècle. Fondé par les ducs de Bretagne au XIIIe siècle pour constituer une base défensive à Nantes, le château est devenu, sous François II, la principale résidence ducale bretonne. Sa fonction militaire est également utilisée par le duc lors de la Guerre folle au cours de laquelle il s'oppose au roi de France. Sa fille, la duchesse Anne, est plus tard contrainte d'épouser deux rois de France successifs, Charles VIII et Louis XII. Ces mariages entraînent l'union de la Bretagne à la France, définitivement scellée par un édit signé au château en 1532, par François Ier. Dès lors, le château perd son statut de résidence ducale pour devenir une forteresse royale. Il voit passer la plupart des rois de France, lorsque ceux-ci visitent la Bretagne, et il est la résidence officielle des gouverneurs de la province. Cependant, les séjours de ces derniers sont souvent brefs, à l'exception notable du duc de Mercœur, un gouverneur qui y tient une cour pendant les guerres de Religion. Sous l'Ancien Régime, le château sert aussi de prison d'État, ainsi que de caserne et d'arsenal militaire. Il ne subit aucune dégradation pendant la Révolution, mais l'explosion des réserves de poudre, en 1800, détruit une bonne part du monument. Propriété de la ville de Nantes à partir de 1915, il devient un musée en 1924. De 1990 à 2007, il bénéficie d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et il accueille, depuis 2007, le musée d'Histoire de Nantes.
The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive and pleasure castle located in Nantes. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1840. The castle was built in the 15th century with elements added in the 14th to the 18th century. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the 13th century to constitute a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under François II, the main Breton ducal residence. His military function was also used by the Duke during the Mad War during which he opposed the King of France. His daughter, Duchess Anne, was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII. These marriages lead to the union of Brittany with France, definitively sealed by an edict signed at the castle in 1532, by François Ier. Consequently, the castle loses its status of ducal residence to become a royal fortress. It sees most of the kings of France pass, when they visit Brittany, and it is the official residence of the governors of the province. However, the stays of the latter are often brief, with the notable exception of the Duke of Mercœur, a governor who held a court there during the Wars of Religion. Under the Ancien Régime, the castle also served as a state prison, as well as barracks and military arsenal. It did not undergo any degradation during the Revolution, but the explosion of the powder reserves in 1800 destroyed a good part of the monument. Property of the city of Nantes from 1915, it became a museum in 1924. From 1990 to 2007, it benefited from a large-scale renovation and, since 2007, it has housed the Nantes History Museum.

Rock climbers in St. George, Utah. Climbing in Snow Canyon State Park. Captured this back in May. Made my knees weak just watching them.
(Callipepla squamata). Jeff Davis County, Texas.
In the desert scrub near the base of the Davis Mountains, a male Scaled Quail stands on high alert as he hears a rival calling in the distance.
The forest grows for hundreds of years over the stones, what lie here for hundreds of thousands. Time has a different scale here, it doesn't rush anywhere. You come here and you let the time go.

Tools (scales) I acquired years ago, and
used for measuring ft/lbs of torque. I used smaller scales for lesser rotational force measurement. I always considered them heavy duty and beautiful.

Scale, noun, relative size. From Latin scala, ladder. Sometimes hard to judge in viewing and/or photographing landscapes. For example, this is a portion of the East wall of Glen Canyon, immediately downstream from the dam. The ladder at right apparently offers safe passage for a broad-shouldered man from the path with handrails at top right down to what appears to be a narrow ledge leading left to a cement block with a railing on top. Obviously functional, but completely mysterious to me. An example of Nature and Culture in close contact, neither making any concession to the other.
