This Black and Yellow Garden Spider (argiope aurantia) has captured a female eastern pondhawk dragonfly in its web and is wrapping it to save it for a future lunch.

I think it is based on an Iveco Daily. But I cannot find anything about the firm that altered it to this shape for Loomis.

Gillioz Theatre, 325 Park Central East, Springfield, Missouri. The Gillioz Theatre was built by M.E. Gillioz of Monett, Missouri. The theater opened on October 11, 1926. Gillioz managed to secure a 100-year lease on one 16-foot wide piece of property which bordered on U.S. Route 66, so that the theater could garner patrons who traveled on that highway. After many prosperous years, and many not-so-prosperous years, the "Gillioz, Theatre Beautiful" finally offered its last show in the summer of 1980, an opera. Restoration of the theatre began in 1990, and was completed in 2006. The lobby and auditorium were restored to the original 1926 appearance. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the theatre shows movies and is also a concert venue.

For many years I have wanted a panorama photo of the City of Vancouver's skyline at sunset. Earlier this spring I finally was able to secure the perfect location for this shot and I mistakenly thought that one image with a wide angle lens would suffice. I was so wrong. This is where a panorama photo is essential. I was able to get back to the location in the summer where I shot numerous series of 12 exposures each while the sun was setting.

This image of the downtown core of the City of Vancouver under a sunset is a 12 exposure panorama photo of the Vancouver skyline. The finished size is 28,000 pixels wide, or 20,000 in this cropped version. It could be printed on a billboard with excellent resolution.

I have been sitting on these images for months because my computer was too slow to process a massive file of this size. One computer upgrade later, and I was finally able to complete the processing.

Please do not use this image without my written permission.

Tidnish Bridge is a community on the interprovincial border with New Brunswick on the Tidnish River. Tidnish Bridge is home to the Chignecto Ship Railway Keystone Bridge and would have been the Baie Verte terminus.

The Chignecto Ship Railway was a historic Canadian portage railway.

With Canadian Confederation in 1867, a variety of canal-building projects were undertaken throughout the new country by the new federal government, including renewed interest in a canal that could transit the isthmus at Chignecto. The Chignecto Ship Railway project was first proposed in 1875 as a means to transport ships across the Isthmus of Chignecto, shortening the sailing distance between the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of St. Lawrence by avoiding the necessity of sailing 930 kilometers (500 nautical miles) around Nova Scotia. A canal had been proposed for the isthmus but financing was proving difficult to secure. In 1882 the Chignecto Marine Transport Railway Company was incorporated as a federally chartered railway.

The ship railway was designed to carry vessels weighing up to 2000 tons with a proposed transit time of 2.5 hours. Ships would be carried on a cradle forming an extremely wide rail car that straddled parallel twin railway tracks, separated by 5.5 meters (18 ft) to the centre of each track.

By August 1891 work on the ship railway ground to a halt and would never restart.

I have seen locks attached to bridges all over Europe, but I've never seen the sheer weight in numbers attached to the railway bridge over the Rhine in Cologne. There must be hundreds of tons in weight secured to the structure!

Wandering the marina of picturesque Sausalito, I found this boater's line nicely coiled and secured around a mooring cleat. Decorative coiling is called 'cheesing' and this is a small Flemish coil or flake.
