Callipepla squamata.
This Mexican scaled quail owes its name to its 'scaled' crest.
Rummaging about it forages for insects, seeds and berries.
Burgers' Zoo (Desert), Arnhem, the Netherlands.
I originally purchased this scale as a decorative item for my kitchen; however, I find that I use it almost everyday!
This shot was taken near Sossusvlei, Namibia. We had to get up really early to get some nice shades.

I have been taking pictures of Beech Scale for a local newsletter which I edit. I am also learning how to put textures into images. Quelle coincidence! I discovered that Beech Scale makes a great sky texture. If you are interested in reading more about Beech Scale disease, go here, to my friend Andy McFarlane's excellent Michigan in Pictutes site:

(I really wanted to name this photo "Black Hole Sun", but I couldn't quite pull it off).
Chicago Central 1744 climbs the grade at Scales Mound, IL with a loaded coal train back in April of 1990. The CC would take a 110 car coal train and run them as two 55 car trains into Chicago due to the grades from Dubuque, IA to Freeport, IL.

Scale Force
Despite the low water levels when I took this photo last year, Scale Force maintains its dominance.

I'm a huge fan of old industrial architecture, as I'm sure most of us are. Situated in Hamilton's industrial north end is this former Stelco (Steel Company of Canada) scale shack which sat guarding the long-gone Rod Mill No. 2. As far as I can make out, all the former Rod Mill property is now owned and operated by the the Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA). I'm not sure why they decided to keep the scale house. There's an area here which feels purpose built for transloading, so it would be reasonable to assume they just wanted a scale here. Despite this, it doesn't look like the building has been used in any capacity for a number of years, despite the massive AC unit on the roof. For a distant photo of the scale shack in better days see here .
In the background the Welland Yard crew TE11 (who ran in Hamilton on Saturdays around this time) spots some Lafarge gons on the aptly named Rod Mill Runaround.

Assuming 1 head= 1 foot this is perfectly scale accurate. (the hulk is about seven heads, the Hulkbuster is 11.)
Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.

Every year, hundreds of climbers inch their way up Devil's Tower, clinging to the vertical cracks in the rock columns with their fingers and toes. From the ground they look like ants against the rock. To see two of them making their way up, use your cursor to look at the noted area, and view large. They're about 600 feet up. Tomorrow I'll have a close-up of the top climber. This was taken from the visitor center.
