Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
As I walked the short, beautiful trail along the Sturgeon River to Canyon Falls, I came across this gentleman. Like most of us photographers, he is coming to a decision on how he wants to capture the scene . . . usually quite differently than someone capturing a 'selfie' . . .
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

There were many questions with my last post of the red bellied woodpeckers but this solves the problem everyone had. Such a wonderful pair and delight to photograph !
Wishing everyone a memorable Memorial Day and a Day we give thanks to the men who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We think of their families and friends and pray for them today and always !! Thank you !
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

The Elephant's Trunk nebula or technically vdB 142 (Van den Berg 142), so named because of its similarity in appearance to a elephant’s trunk. The bright outline around the "trunk" is the surface of the dense cloud that is being illuminated and ionized by a very bright, massive star. The entire IC1396 region is ionized by this massive star, except for dense globules that can protect themselves from the star's harsh ultraviolet rays. The Elephant's Trunk nebula is now thought to be a site of star formation, containing several very young (less than 100,000 yr) stars that were discovered in infrared images in 2003. Two older (but still young, a couple of million years, by the standards of stars, which live for billions of years) stars are present in a small, circular cavity in the head of the globule. Winds from these young stars may have emptied the cavity.
This was done using the HST or Hubble Space Telescope Palette which is accomplished by combining sub frames using three narrowband filters that capture light produced by glowing hydrogen (Ha), oxygen (OIII) and sulfur (SII) present in the nebula. Green is assigned to hydrogen, blue to oxygen and red to the sulfur.

The Parson Russell Terrier is a bold and clever terrier, swift enough to run with horses and fearless enough to dig in and flush a fox from his lair. Independent problem solvers, Parson Russell Terriers can have their own ideas on how to go about things.
Mystery Inc. taking a break from solving mysteries so they can be normal teenagers for once and have their own Halloween fun.
After a very long wait, this shrub which I believe is a form of Ixora has finally flowered. Unlike more common Ixoras, of which we have got quite a few, the flowers on this one, at least at this point remain almost spear like. Frustratingly, I can't find the little card that came with it for a positive ID. Anyone with far superior knowledge to mine would be welcome to clear up the mystery. BTW, this is a current shot!
UPDATE: Thanks to Dave and Margaret who have identified this plant and flower as a Chinese Ixora called "Flame of the Woods". A couple of days after I took this photo, those little spears are blossoming forth with more normal tiny Ixora flowers.
Happy weekend everyone.
Scientists solve mystery of how the Himalayas were formed:
India has been revealed at the fastest moving continent in history.
More than 140 million years ago, India was part of an immense supercontinent called Gondwana, which covered much of the Southern Hemisphere.
However, around 120 million years ago, what is now India broke off and started slowly migrating north, at about 5 centimeters per year - before a mysterious event about 80 million years ago caused the continent suddenly sped up, racing north at about 15 centimeters per year.

These little Semipalmated Sandpipers were the predominate shorebird with the White-Rumped Sandpipers in with them. They look similar but are a bit smaller with a shorter black bill but from afar hard to distinguish. These Semipalmated are common migrants through here.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuen_Long_Kau_Hui:
Tai Wong Temple (大王古廟), a Grade I Historic Building, in Cheung Shing Street. Probably built between 1662–1722. It is the main temple of Nam Pin Wai as well as Yuen Long Kau Hui. It was built for the worship of Hung Shing and Yeung Hau. Other than for worship, the temple was a venue for solving disputes and discussing market affairs among the villagers. It also once served as a yamen and the officials lived there.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
