3 Earth movers are staged and awaiting work at the Kellogg / Webb interchange construction in Wichita, KS
From my first predawn morning at "the Bosque", we heard we should be early so we got to the "staging area" before dawn - in fact, it was still so dark you could hear all the wonderful sounds of the sandhill cranes at the pond, but you couldn't SEE them. So this one is pre-sunrise, and it was the only morning we got some great color in the sky. The cranes were there, and the geese actually flew in before a later "blast-off". I added a link to the video below - check it out with sound up and be submerged in the spectacle.
This little group of sandhill cranes was part of a larger flock, or sedge, of several hundred in a farm field on the edge of White River Marsh State Wildlife Area west of Berlin, Green Lake County, Wisconsin. I think that most of the cranes are now gone.

Long distance goodbye, several all perched on tree tops maybe staging for the trip home, that time of year !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking
Driving on a country road in east central Minnesota, I stopped to take a photo of what I thought was a small flock of geese flying towards me. But the unmistakable gravelly sound of sand cranes soon filled the air. There were hundreds flying, circling and landing on a crest of a small rise in a picked corn field. Soon they will leave en masse for warmer climates.
A group of starlings approaching Brighton's West Pier at sunset. Many of them appear to use the ruins of the West Pier as a stopping off point on their way to join the main gathering at the Palace Pier.

The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra in Verona, Italy built in the first century. It is still in use today and is internationally famous for the large-scale opera performances given there. It is one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind. In ancient times, the arena's capacity was nearly 30,000 people. The stage for concerts and opera performances decreases the available places to a maximum of 15,000.
The bank, cliff, rough-winged and tree swallows have start to amass in large numbers. It's an amazing sight and sound but makes me a bit sad as it is one of the first indicators that summer is on its way out.
At Freeway 5/710 intersection, rail consolidation facility, SoCal. Shot while driving south on 710 Freeway. Totally stop and go traffic. Slow. Perfect picture taking conditions. No cars were intersected while shooting! ; > )
Tempelhof Airport, built between 1936 and 1941.The biggest monument of Europe, which stands for monumental self-staging of the Nazis and as a symbol of freedom because of the airlift of 1948/49. The physical structure is made up of an elliptical airfield and an enormous building complex. It consists of a series of symmetric elements: a forecourt flanked by two office wings; the reception and check-in hall; transit areas and 1230 m long arch of the hangars.
Essexville coal empties E945 are parked on the main at Fox awaiting a new crew to take them on to Chicago. Fox was a spot where west-bound trains on the Plymouth Sub would often either die on HOS, or be staged since it was one of the longer sidings and there were no crossings that would be blocked. Recrews became so common at Fox that CSX even installed a staircase (yellow, at left) for crews to easier climb up and down the steep fill. Pairs of SD70MACs were still the norm on these trains back then, but the influx of thousands of new ES44ACs and SD70ACes over the coming years would change that quickly.
O ENCENADOR
O encenador conhece o seu espectáculo
Há um lugar do qual noite após noite
o torna a ver sem de ninguém ser visto
Para que volta onde já nada é seu
onde a verdade se soltou do caos
e mente agora a uma luz fictícia?
(Gastão Cruz, in Escarpas Assírio & Alvim, Lisboa, 2010)

The stage director
The stage director knows his show
There is a place from where night after night
he watches it again without being seen
Why is he back where nothing belongs to him
where the truth has unleashed from chaos
and deceives now under a fake light?
(Gastão Cruz)

Je choisis mon arrière-plan. J'attends que mon sujet se place où je veux et là, je prends la photo.
I choose my background. I wait for my subject to be placed where I want and there, I take the photo.
We came across this interesting tree at Laguna Beach with many pigeons resting on top. They flew in and out constantly to look for left over food on the beach. I saw people walk past cautiously with their hands covering their heads. That's something I don't see very often.

A new team arrives. Taking out the decades old BNSF train bridge in Richmond, Texas and laying down new rails requires skilled new workers and a lot of different equipment to be brought in. This large, rarely seen machine, will do the welding.
