Founded in 1997, the Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum houses a large collection of classic cars, motorcycles, and other historic automobile-related artifacts, with a specific focus on the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, which operated in Buffalo between 1901 and 1938. The museum was initially located in a one-story former commercial building on Michigan Avenue, opening in 2001 to coincide with the centennial of the Pan-American Exposition. The museum was expanded in 2011-2012 to feature a new two-story postmodern-style wing that houses a reproduction of a filling station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Tydol company, which had been intended to be built in Buffalo. The museum is filled with a collection that includes cars dating between 1903 and the 1960s, with several examples of automobiles manufactured in Buffalo by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, as well as bicycles, fuel pumps, automobile memorabilia, horse-drawn carriages, motorcycles, and a reconstruction of a filling station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1927 for the Tydol Gas Company. The building itself is relatively simple, with the original section having a red brick exterior, limestone trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, blind window openings infilled with darker brick cladding, and a barrel vaulted roof at the rear, with the cladding on this building having been replaced during the 2011-2012 renovation to closely match the addition. The 2011-2012 addition is two stories in height, with a large interior atrium housing a filling station exhibit, with a clerestory on the roof, red brick cladding, a large curtain wall facing Seneca Street, a primary entrance featuring a semi-circular parapet with a metal wheel with spokes embedded into the wall above the door, and cement block cladding on the Carroll Street sides of the building. The museum has a constantly rotating collection on display, and occasionally hosts special events.

The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.

specific to beech wood. It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees.
Provided that the skin is thoroughly washed to remove the mucus (or peeled from the caps), these mushrooms are edible, although their slimy covering is probably enough to put most people off. Only larger caps are worth collecting, because the flesh is thin and insubstantial.
Here's a specific table at the artist's alley I really enjoyed. Julia Lighty was the one holding court here, and in addition to prints of her amazing artwork, she was also selling stickers and pins of her chibi artwork. (Chibi is an anime art style where the character is cartoonishly exaggerated, typically with a large head and small body) I wound up getting six of her pins, and you can check out her work right here: www.ghostfire.net

Red and Blue December Waterfall - 1994
Pat Steir (born 1938)
Pat Steir describes her paintings as “pictures of nothing.” Making no attempt to depict specific images, she sets up certain limitations for her works by selecting the colors, the scale of the canvas, and the actions she uses to apply paint. Steir removes herself from the paintings, allowing gravity and chance, forces more powerful than herself, to create the final product. In this sense, she is capturing nature at work—something she describes as a kind of ongoing spiritual pursuit.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

A site specific installation based in a disused power station along the Oka riverside. “ I walked around the site where I took pictures of objects I found.
I then painted the objects in two colours. White for the objects that were directly related to people’s lives (i.e.: boots, bottles, etc…), I chose this colours as an analogy to ghosts, past life traces, reminders of what was once. I painted red the objects that were part of machinery, as this colour is usually associated with danger (as in real physical danger to the human body but also as a warning sign of people’s dependency on industrialisation).
Once painted I used the objects for an installation on the site. Hanging up the white objects in the air above the red objects resting on the floor. This work intent to reflect on the decline of industries in the area, as well as on the re-use of empty building (as a reinsertion into our lives, a shifting of uses to accommodate society’s volatile economy)”

Regardless of their specific prey, Goshawks capture it by either or both of two means. The first is the perch and watch technique, followed by short attacks on prey when it is seen. Alternatively, they may conduct fast searching flights through forest edges, openings, or other vegetation. Concealed approaches, fast and low, are used when the birds hunt in woods where vegetation offers adequate cover, whereas when hunting from forest edges a small, silent accelerating glide down to the unsuspecting prey is typically employed. Should the prey see the approaching hawk in time an all-out chase invariably follows, with the Goshawk doggedly chasing its quarry at full speed, often plunging into and through heavy cover in reckless pursuit. These flights, similar to those used by Gyrfalcons, rarely last more than a half mile before the prey is overtaken by the hawks speed and determination.

Wilson's Phalarope Phalaropus tricolor
Please comment with specific reasons if you have thoughts about the identification.
Dennis Paulson's "Shorebirds of North America - The Photographic Guide" is an excellent book. Page 337, Plate 90.2 of a male Wilson's Phalarope is a good match for this bird. The rusty neck color and pattern is key.
Yesterday I photographed 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, and got nice views. They have a different pattern of red on the neck that I saw well & documented. Here's a photo:
www.flickr.com/photos/58148027@N07/42049813481/in/datetaken/
[I'd had various notes here about going back and forth on this phalarope's identification. I've snipped them.]
Two days ago I went to Lateral C to try to find the White-faced Ibis pair Jeff had found. (I did. Yay!) While there I spotted a pair of Wilson's Phalaropes. I think everyone else there also got to see them. Today I went back to see if the ibises were still around. I didn't see the ibises, but did see 7 Wilson's Phalaropes.
Putting the word "photos" in your checklist for uncommon birds, as anything other than a temporary placeholder for the real thing, is LAME. It puts undo burden on eBird reviewers to guess whether your judgement is accurate, or, for problem listers, whether you're being truthful. It's drag-and-drop simple to add photos to checklists. Just do it -- IF you actually have photos, they're photos taken of the bird WHILE YOU WERE OBSERVING it, at the time and place of your eBird list entry, NOT THE PREVIOUS DAY WHEN YOU WERE NOT THERE. And make the species comments your own in shared checklists. Write what you, yourself observed. Having your checklist and companion's checklist with identical comments is not of value to you, nor to science, nor to the eBird community. It's a detriment.
Not Norbert is the guy who claims the cow pond in Nass as if it were his own. It's not Kerry's. It's Norbert Marquez's. Hence, "Not Norbert" is a good name for him -- until he comes clean, if he ever does. Not Norbert doesn't give credit, not even for county firsts, in his newspaper blips, saying that would discourage birders. Yet he vainly claims someone else's pond should be called by his own name. Wrong. Besides being contradictory, neither is right. Maybe Not Norbert's licence plate could be changed to read BRAG2XS. Or maybe his tune could change instead. Still calling it as I see it, rather than as I'd like to see it, just like species on my checklists. That seems better to me.
See Something --> Say Something: Don't enable illegal and unethical birders -- poachers. Help break their habits. Call them as you see them.
Stop pishing and using playback on rare and sensitive birds and in heavily birded areas.
Please Follow this Code and Distribute and Teach it to Others ABA Code of Birding Ethics.
My photo walk of Tuesday, September 17, 2024 in Lyon, France. I expected a mixture of sunshine and clouds for testing the B+W red filter but in turn, the cloud cover was tight. I decided to keep the red filter for the whole film anyway.
I used my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera loaded with a Kentmere 100 film. The Carl Zeiss normal lens Planar CF 1:2.8 f=80mm was equipped with a 67mm screw-on filter Light Red 5 B+W type 090 adapted to the Hasselblad bayonet filter mount with a specific adaptor. The Zenza Bronica metal shade hood designed for the 75mm Nikkor-P lens was mounted additionally to the filter to its 67mm thread.
The film was exposed for 25 ISO to compensate of the filter light absorption using a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° viewer for selective measurement privileging the shadow area's or by measuring the incident light with the opalescent dome.
September 17, 2024
69004 Lyon
France
After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+50 and the film processed for 15min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm film.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About my Hasselblad 500C/M:
I remember that somewhere around 2002, I considered to buy a Hasselblad camera. I gave up because I had no more access to a darkroom and I found too complicated to recreate one or to delegate the processing to a service lab. Afterward, I started digital photography that distracted me to operate again with films until more recently. It is only when I could manage in 2022 a reliable and quality way to exploit my negatives in a reasonable time, that I really could enjoy again of analog photography.
On July 17, 2024, I decided to buy "my" Hasselblad in a very traditional way, almost as I could in the 90’s, in a local real photographic store, Lyon, France. The store « Carré Couleur » of Jacques Larger, rue Servient, Lyon, France, is a long-time specialist of professional medium-format camera’s including Hasselblad ones. They had on display several revised and 6-month guaranteed camera’s and a large choice of lenses and accessories.`
I choose a 500 C/M year 1978 and a Carl Zeiss lens Planar T* 1:2.8 f=80mm of the CF series year 1986, plus a small set of little Hasselblad goodies. The 500 C/M is totally mechanical without any electrical nor electronic circuitry. The 500 C/M's were produced in Göteborg, Sweden, from year 1970 to 1994. They followed the production of the 500C camera’s (1957-1970). The latest V-series camera (503 CX, CW, CWI etc) ceased in 2006 and Hasselblad then produced only digital camera’s but also digital camera backs that could fit to the V-series includingbthis 500 C/M (www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx)
This CF lens series has central shutter Prontor (Synchro-Compur for the earlier Zeiss series). They are more cylindrical than earlier series and equipped of the proprietary bayonet filter mount B60. The delayed shutter realease was also abandoned. The focusing screen is the « Bright » series with the Dodin stigmometer in the screen centrer and the squared cross-ruling lines. Later 501 and 503 were basically equipped with an even more brighter screen called « Acute-mat ». The camera back could dated from year 1977 is an « A-12 » back « A » standing for « Automatic ». The film advance automatically stops at view 1 with view counter on the right camera side.
After a complete demo by Jacques Larger, I studied the camera manipulation at home with the user manual in hand (an original edition of 1980) before doing the decisive « film d’essai » (test film) on a sunny morning of July 20, 2024.
The results show very high-quality, highly-contrasted negative views, perfectly exposed and spaced proving the good technical state of the camera, film magazine, and the lens/shutter.
On sept. 2, 2024, I received from a French specialist of collection camera's, a second film magazine Hasselblad "A12". This back is in a pristine condition and matches the production year 1978 (Hasselblad letter coding "UR") of the 500 C/M body.
The camera back is like a new with almost no signs of use. It arrived in its original Hasselblad box including the original user manual too. The film insert has latest 3 digits matching the film magazine serial number, that is not the case of the other magazine. Unmatched magazines and inserts, are very common and assumed not to be a technical problem, but Hasselblad maintained the pairing of the insert magazine to ensure to the customers of the best attention to the precision of the film plane.
