The Yong An Pagoda (永安塔) is one of the attractions along the "Anting Old Street" (安亭老街).
Anting Town may be more known as the home of Shanghai Volkswagen, but as everywhere around Shanghai places are redeveloped for tourism, Anting Town could not pass this trend. A section of the oldest parts of the town, close to the border with Jiangsu Province, has been redeveloped as "Anting Old Street".

There were several Great Blue Heron nests nearby, on a small island in a small lake, in the Clear Creek Greenbelt, Wheatridge, Colorado. Those nests (and numerous Cormorant nests) have been there every year I have visited the area during the last six years.
I find it amazing that such small lakes/ponds can support so many large "fishing" birds. It's also amazing to me that many birds rest while standing on one leg.

Several white pelicans have been visiting Lafreniere Park the last few weeks. This is a very late afternoon shot.
Several years ago, my brother Tom gave me a hard time about fishing when a train was passing by. See: www.flickr.com/photos/tdanneman/6982362495/in/photolist-9...
Well, over thirty years ago, he was doing the same thing when an eastbound Rio Grande freight rolled by dropping downgrade at Crystal Lakes near Malta, Colorado, early in the morning of July 10, 1985. A train running on Rio Grande’s famed route over 10,221-foot Tennessee Pass, and he’s fishing!

There are several balconies to watch the sunset from hammocks or/and wooden benches, a deck to see a stream/sunset and the possibility of reaching the crystalline waters through well-made trails, a part of the recovered Atlantic forest and original.
The wi-fi works really well.
A couple uses this location as a home base.
Several red admirals flitted through the crabapple trees looking for bruised fruits that were oozing out fermented crabapple juice, or as we say in Iowa, hard cider.
I got several good shots of Mt Shasta on my way to California last weekend and this is my favorite. I did a shameful amount of clone stamping to remove the highway as I felt like it was a little ugly and distracting. There was a forest fire brewing on the south peak behind the trees on the right. On the way back to Bend yesterday, all the snow had melted and the entire area was thick with smoke and super ugly. I shot this just in time.

The exif data has a wrong aperture; it should read f/5.6. The 58mm ought to read 60mm. I will try to fix...
Reminder: In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed ;-)

Several days have passed since this beautiful story began. The peoples have united, the Kingdom of Dragons has withdrawn to its frozen paradises and a baby, the fruit of love, will grow up in a new world, in peace. This story was forged step by step, where each character contributed a grain of sand towards the final outcome. Basically it is a sign of friendship, selfless help and trust in others. It is true that sometimes there is evil, betrayal and disappointment, but there is also light, love and good deeds, and in the end, it is what we should stay with.
And tiptoeing, without making a sound, we walked away from S'hej and N'atela, whom we hope to meet again next year in the Fairelands!

After several days of shooting with David Swindler, he kindly invited me to join his group out to White Pocket. WP has been at the top of my list for several years, so thanks to David I was able to strike that one off my list. That's Cody Wilson way off in the background, I happened to look up from my composition and noticed he was going to have to remove me from his photo if I didn't high tail it out of his shot. So I fired off a couple so that he would lend a sense of scale to the scene. Had a lot of fun shooting here but if you show up during the day its not nearly as impressive as dusk. All the textures start to pop out and the sandstone glows in the twilight. Had a great time and met some really nice people.
For a great photography adventure at the best times of the day or night, look no further than ActionPhotoTours.com, David is an award winning accomplished landscape photographer, and all around nice guy.

Several papal families fought over Ninfa, which was at various times destroyed and rebuilt. As the result of papal wars and inter-family disputes, the town was substantially destroyed in 1382 leading to an exodus of the population and an unstoppable decay that lasted until the 20th century.
In the early 1920s, Caetani family set out to restore Ninfa, laying out the foundations for a garden today counted among the most beautiful in the world. (fonte: sito Oasi di Ninfa)
After several months of 'Lock Down' due to the pandemic, the normally manicured lawn in our local churchyard, was neglected and that allowed the grass to grow long. With the flowers left by people, its morphed into an exotic meadow. It was truly wonderful.
This was four of Mama's kids back in the summer of 2019. For several years she brought her babies around in the early evenings and they cleaned up the leftover birdseed and apples. Mama passed away last summer which left a huge hole in our heart.
One of several photos that I took while visiting this quaint and very picturesque old lobster fishing village of Stonington Maine. The town, filled with beautiful and boundless photographic opportunities of old buildings, lobster and fishing boats, viewed in a beautiful harbor setting often lined with wild rosa rugosa rose bushes.
Stonington is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. It's located on the southern portion of the island of Deer Isle. The population was 1,056 at the 2020 census. It includes the villages of Burnt Cove, Oceanville, Green Head, and Clam City. A picturesque working waterfront and tranquil tourist destination in eastern Penobscot Bay, Stonington has consistently ranked among the top lobster ports in the county and is the largest lobster port in Maine. In 2011, 14,854,989 pounds of lobster were landed by Stonington fishermen with a value of $46.3 million.
Sailors on the island became renowned for their maritime skills. Full crews for two America's Cup teams were recruited from Deer Isle for the victorious America's Cup Races of 1895 on The Defender and again in 1899 on Columbia. The Stonington harbor has long been filled with Friendship Sloops among other boat designs, powered by sail only. Lobstermen once used them to haul traps. Most of their trips were to the outer islands (like York Island) near Isle au Haut, fishing during the week and returning to the harbor on weekends. This changed with the advent of gasoline or diesel engines, along with new hull designs, which enabled fishermen to make day trips to fishing grounds in Penobscot Bay.
After several days and many deleted raw shots, this looks better to me than previous attempts. I like it without water. Leave that talent to Suus aka neurosheep ;-)

After several days of seeing nothing but dark clouds and rain, this pretty mourning dove looks very pleased to get a fleeting peek at the late afternoon sun.
My next several images will be shots that I took while walking around my neighborhood and my own backyard. Stay safe and well everyone!
Have a wonderful Easter/Holiday weekend!
Like several other works of architecture by Herzog & de Meuron the Forum Building, known since the 2012 relocation of Barcelona's Museu de les Ciències Naturals as the Museu Blau, is remarkable for its sensitive use of materials. A triangular mass of gray-blue concrete punctured and split in places to reveal the contrasting use of reflective planes, the building is a hard one to ignore, especially for an architectural photographer.
Wie einige andere architektonische Werke von Herzog & de Meuron ist auch das Forum-Gebäude, das seit dem Umzug des Museu de les Ciències Naturals in Barcelona im Jahr 2012 als Museu Blau bekannt ist, für seine sensible Verwendung von Materialien bemerkenswert. Das Gebäude ist eine dreieckige Masse aus grau-blauem Beton, die an einigen Stellen durchbrochen und gespalten ist, um die kontrastierende Verwendung von reflektierenden Flächen zu enthüllen, und ist schwer zu ignorieren, insbesondere für einen Architekturfotografen

I planted several milkweed bushes a couple of weeks ago to help Monarchs on their migration. To my delight, I've seen several stopping by. This one was shy, and every time I approached, he retreated. He appeared to watch me from a tree, waiting for me to leave him in peace. So I did.....
Several years ago we stopped at a small winery somewhere between Napa and Sonoma and enjoyed these colorful flowers.
Hope they brighten your day! HSS

Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.
For several years I have had this photo in my mind. Getting low for water-level photography is something I have been doing for years but I finally got a dry suit and that changed the game. I was able to get in the water for several hours with these birds which enabled me to get the photo I was after. It was an incredible experience. I kept a respectable distance from these birds and after awhile, they payed me no mind, and just went about doing their thing. Here, an adult gives the chick a feather to eat, which may help line the young birds stomach helping guard them against bacteria.
Several "Local cats" live in the Takashima Suisaisen Park in Minatomirai, Yokohama. They live on the food of their neighbors.
They can't run away when they see people, but they can only be the ones who feed them.
They don't run away when they see strangers, but they aren't touched by anyone but the people who take care of them.
"Local cats" do not have a specific owner like "stray cats", but they differ from "stray cats" in that the local residents officially recognize them and take care of food and medical care.
.......Pileated Woodpecker
For several days I credited the resident skunk with the excavation that was occurring around this decaying stump. Then the other day I heard the unmistakable staccato call of a Pileated Woodpecker and went to investigate. Much to my surprise he did not take flight but merely moved to the back side of the stump and continued working.
I think it is a juvenile, he has been back several times and hopefully, with a bit of patience I can get him on the top or at least on the lighted side of the stump. But for now I am delighted he is at least indulging my rude interruption of his dining.
The way the chips are flying there must be some tasty morsels in that debris.

Several years ago, I visited remote locations in the Navajo Nation Reservation in northern Arizona on several photo tours.
One of the most impressive places is White Mesa Bridge. From there, Arizona seems limitless. As soon as the sun rises, the rocks begin to glow, while later everything shines white (White Mesa).
The arch is very large with a span of 53 feet, and a height of 84 feet.

Today, several friends and I drove to the New York Botanical Garden to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit.
I hope he pays his agent a lot b/c he is everywhere!!!
For me, the fun of Chihuly is the "innards".
This is part of a large "tree" that sits outside the Conservatory.
Off Thursday to go back to the Adirondacks.
See you all next week.

We have several forest fires in multiple locations around where I live. Although the fires are a few hundred kilometres away there is still a lot of smoke in the area. The smoke gave way to some interesting colours and shades. Here is one from the Red Deer River this morning.

Several BCNH's around the Reserve. resident, vagrant or late migrating... not sure; but they seem to allow one to get closer than in other places I have been bird-watching... shout out to the RSCN staff at Azraq for their excellent work...
There were several different “rodents” running around in the fields out west. The beauty of camping along the way is that you get better opportunities to capture the wildlife around you. It was also spring when we travelled which meant lots of young life around. This Prairie Dog mom is letting her young one nurse. These animals are cute and quite social but many farmers think they are a nuisance because of all the holes they dig.
Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. The Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. The Celts believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life. Any type of daisy equals truth or happiness of children.
Gerbera daisy from the bouquet of flowers that Tom gave me a week before "Vday" to cheer me up.💐
Have a beautiful Thursday everyone!💝 HMBT
Thank you for your visits, kind comments, awards and faves. Always greatly appreciated.

I took several photos for this week's Happy Caturday theme "Touching" and in the end chose this one as it shows a lovely playful moment. Tofu was grabbing my fingers with his paws and I'm pleased to say that he doesn't use his claws when he does this. In the comments I add another capture which ended up as my "number-two choice". Happy Caturday !
Exploring SL: after several failed attempts coz the sim was full, I managed to visit ELVION yesterday, a very well made dreamy mystical sim with great mushrooms and super cool WL
After waiting on several NS trains at the CP117 diamond, Cleveland Commercial 2372 pulls eight cars south from the NS interchange at Von Willer a few miles from downtown Cleveland, Ohio, on April 18, 2019. An interesting angle with the skyline, but I had my head on a swivel dealing with numerous inner-city characters walking by me on the sidewalk while I waited for the shot. Everyone was curious about the camera, and one guy even asked to hold it to look at my pictures... yeah no.
About a year after this was taken, CCR was bought by Omnitrax, renamed to Cleveland and Cuyahoga (keeping the CCR identifier), and the leased LTEX GP50 pair with the nice CCR labels was swapped for a ratty GATX GP38-2 pair.
Several photographers were gathered by the rail at Grand Canyon waiting for the sun to set. As I looked around, I noticed that the sun had cast our shadows on a stone.
Thank you for your comments.

I am several! There are crowds in me. At the table of my soul sit many, and I am all of them.
You'll never know who you're sitting with or how long you'll stay with each of me.
But I promise that, if we sit at the table, in this sacred ritual I will give you at least one of the many that I am, and I will take the risk of being together on the same plane.
