Holy Eagle! As I was wandering around Chestnut Hill today, I saw this amazing halo around the Sun, like a circular rainbow. I've never seen anything like this before (though I'm sure this must be a phenomenon long known to science and witchcraft). I scurried around to find something sized perfectly to blot out the Sun, but not the halo (not too large, yet not too small - it was an impossible shot!), and then... I came upon the Boston College Eagle.
As for Endymion and dreaming, well - it's an old, long story :-)

Screaming Eagle
I painted this artwork in Berlin in the summer of 2019 at the art studio of Susanne Kessler. The studio was poisoned by one or another service the way I had to leave after a few days . The last work I painted there I gave the title of "Dein Kampf" to clarify the totalitarian situation in which Europe has ended up

You needn’t be a serious birder to recognize the yodeling yelp of this striking raptor.
Often described as the sound of Africa, the African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) evokes images of lazy rivers and palm-fringed lake shores, often in duet with the grunting of hippos. And the bird itself, in all its black, white and chestnut finery, is equally unmistakable.
The African fish eagle is not a ‘true’ eagle but belongs to the Haliaeetus genus of sea eagles, alongside seven other species worldwide that include the American bald eagle and the Eurasian white-tailed eagle. This is one of the most ancient genera among all living birds. And it is a sight to behold.
This screaming African Fish Eagle was photographed during a photography safari on an early morning boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.

Missouri Pacific publicity photo dated 10-1-42 of their new ACF 'Motorailer' Streamliner No. 670. B&W print in my collection, MP Photo.
Information on the MP's Motorailers from the "Screaming Eagles" web page: These railcars were initially used on the Lincoln to Union, Nebraska Branch as the "Eaglette". Beginning in 1942, the Eaglette ran the 47-mile connecting service at a relaxed 1 hour and 20 minute pace (operating as trains #605-606). At Union, across the platform connections were made to the Eagle (operating as train #5-105 westbound, #106-6 eastbound). trainweb.org/screamingeagle/eaglette.html

March 5, 1977 was the first time I got to see Missouri Pacific locomotives. A trio of MoPac SD40 series motors pulled into North Yard in Salt Lake City on an eastbound train. To say I was excited would be an understatement.
A young adult Eagle being very clear about territory. The leg is dropped as this is a total body scream, 1st time I have ever witnessed that much intensity.
80 yrs today at this very hour 19:16 EDT June 5th. the greatest generation and the troops of the 82nd & 101st Airborne were parachuting in to Normandy for the liberation of Europe. Freedom is never free. For those who didn't return, Semper Fi..

First season's ride today, special feel as always... This composing is a second try, special feel too as I lost some photoshop practice.
A bit of a throwback to September 26th 2021 to when UP 1982 (Missouri & Pacific heritage unit) leads the OWUKK-19 into the Cliff siding coming to a stop to wait for Amtrak California Zephyr No. 5 to pass.
America’s national bird is easy to see in Alaska—especially in marine zones and river valleys where they forage for fish and scavenge carcasses. The state’s 30,000 eagles generally concentrate in Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound, Southcentral coastal zones, Kodiak Island and down the Alaska Peninsula to the Aleutian Chain. These striking birds raise their young in large, treetop nests and have a habit of forming noisy congregations near fish runs (and garbage dumps!) They have long been icons for Alaska’s pristine environment, though they are regular visitors to towns and have a tolerance for human activity. It’s all about the food!

CAPTION: Specialist Jacob William Moore, 21, stares into the distance as he clutches the hand of a seriously wounded comrade on board a medevac air ambulance racing towards Kandahar Air Field in southern Afghanistan, Nov 22, 2010. Spc Moore was part of a stretcher team carrying a wounded man to safety when they hit a second explosive device, buried in their path. The men, from the 2-502 Infantry's Attack Company were operating in Nalgham, in Zhari district. Two Americans and one Afghan soldier were killed in the attacks, four others, including Spc Moore, were wounded.
The troops are part of the 101st Airborne Division - known as the screaming eagles - sent to Afghanistan in June 2010 as part of Barack Obama's surge. Moore and his comrades paid tribute to their fallen as "phenomenal soldiers". They said the general public in America have no idea what is going on in Afghanistan. Moore returned to active duty and finished out his tour in Afghanistan.
In 2012 he returned to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty.
UP 1982 leads and intermodal train westbound in Bonner Springs, KS on March 10, 2016. This has got to be one of my favorite UP heritage painted locomotives because it at least has some of the look of what the MoPac stuff looked like.
UP 1982 rolled into town this afternoon on the M-NPKC, and after realizing that it was trailing, I started thinking through other shots to take of it, esp. given my limited free time over my lunch break.
Sure enough, on the east end of the Topeka yard, I got to see this unit rolling by MP caboose #13832, which has been hanging out here for a few months now. While you're wondering about MP's history in Topeka, its worth mentioning that Kansas' capitol city was at the end of a MP branch line off of the main to Colorado that cut off at Lomax, KS. This line was torn up by the UP in the late 80's.
Actually the American Bald Eagle call is more of a chirping noise rather than a scream as depicted in the movies. A hawk scream is usually dubbed in for effect.

Colonel Robert Lee Wolverton, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, led his men in a powerful prayer on the eve of D-Day, June 5, 1944. This moment, shared by 750 paratroopers before their perilous drop into Normandy, has become a poignant symbol of courage and faith in the face of war.
Men, I am not a religious man and I don't know your feelings in this matter, but I am going to ask you to pray with me for the success of the mission before us. And while we pray, let us get on our knees and not look down but up with faces raised to the sky so that we can see God and ask His blessing in what we are about to do.
The prayer itself was heartfelt and solemn:
God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy. We do not join battle afraid. We do not ask favors or indulgence but ask that, if You will, use us as Your instrument for the right and an aid in returning peace to the world. We do not know or seek what our fate will be. We ask only this, that if die we must, that we die as men would die, without complaining, without pleading and safe in the feeling that we have done our best for what we believed was right. O Lord, protect our loved ones and be near us in the fire ahead and with us now as we pray to you.
After a moment of silence, Wolverton ordered;Move out. Tragically, he was killed by German machine gun fire shortly after landing in Normandy, before he could touch French soil. His sacrifice and leadership left an indelible mark on his men.
Colonel Wolverton's legacy endures, not only through his heroic actions but also through the enduring power of his words, which continue to inspire generations.
