Actually it was a little warm on this late summer evening by the river ... but the cool tones of blue hour were quite soothing. A pretty place to sit and enjoy the sounds of the flowing river ... and nothing else.
Two Alco C430's have a good roll on WNYP's Farmers Valley job as they cross the NY/PA state line just north of Eldred, Pa. Already being after 4:00 PM in February, the short chase would be over after 20 minutes and 3 shots when they reached the 10mph treed-in branch.
Thank so very much, to all of you. To all of my friends and followers. Thank you for all of your views and favorites!!!. You have so gracefully helped me reach 3 million views!!! I am grateful for all of you!!!!
Bok Singing Tower located in the Bok Tower Gardens on Iron Mountain near Lake Wales in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
By 1925, Bok had decided to replace the bird sanctuary's water tower with a stone water-and-bell tower. He hired architect Milton B. Medary to design "the most beautiful tower in the world". The 60-bell carillon occupies only the top of the Singing Tower, some of the rest contained large water tanks to irrigate the gardens, with Bok's baronial study at the base. The 15-foot (4.6 m)-wide moat surrounding the tower's base now serves as a koi pond.
The Gothic Revival tower was built at the highest elevation of the site, south of a reflecting pool that reflects its full image. The tower is 51 feet (16 m) square at its base, changing at the height of 150 feet (46 m) to an octagon, with each of the eight sides 37 feet (11 m) wide. It is built of pink Etowah marble and gray Creole marble, mined in Tate, Georgia, and coquina stone from St. Augustine, Florida.

Pretty amazing that the guy fishing there did not move during the sunrise long exposure along the Susquehanna River.
A very unique waterfall! We had a lot of creek crossings while hiking through the canyon. Some areas had nice stepping stones while others were unstable slippery rocks. Quite the adventure!

In a "bird-rich" state like Florida, does the commonplace northern mockingbird deserve to reign as the official state bird?
According to the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources, the Mockingbird "is a superb songbird and mimic. Its own song has a pleasant lilting sound and is, at times, both varied and repetitive." The bird was put in place in 1927 under Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 3. The bird won over the Legislature in part because "the melody of its music has delighted the heart of residents and visitors to Florida from the days of the rugged pioneer to the present comer."
Someone else once wrote. "I am finishing this post the next day because I had to go buy a new computer after I threw my last one out the window when I read that Florida's state bird was the northern mockingbird. I cannot think of a more pathetic choice for one of the most bird-rich states in the nation. What's their state beverage, a half-glass of warm tap water?"
"The fact stands that four other states have the same official bird; Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. It's as overused as the northern cardinal (five states) and the western meadowlark (six states), and some make the convincing argument that every state should have its own bird."
Who would have ever "thunk" the Mockingbird could stir up so much controversy. The debate still "rages"!
I found this controversial little one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida preparing to share its pleasant lifting sound to the world.
The tallest 3 buildings from left to right in this capture: 520 Fifth Avenue, Empire State Building, World Trade Center. Also visible is the Manhattan Bridge and the Hudson River. Viewed from the "Top of the Rock" (Rockefeller Center), New York City, New York, USA
Montpelier, Vermont
Fun fact: Montpelier is the only state capital city in the U.S. without a McDonald's restaurant. Thanks, Lois, for that information.
Delaware Legislative Hall building in Dover, Delaware
Delaware Legislative Hall is the state capitol building of Delaware located in the state capital city of Dover on Legislative Avenue that houses the chambers and offices of the Delaware General Assembly. Front View.
Glazing in the trees and sections of the river freezing over as well. Captured while hiking around in Gunpowder Falls State Park.
I'd already gone up the Empire State itself and World Trade Centre when some local photographers I met said the best views of Manhattan were up the Rockefeller Centre. I didn't plan going up that as well but they were right. It's only a short distance from the Empire State and gave a spectacular view at twilight as it light up. The new World Trade Centre (or Freedom Tower) is in the background.
They didn't allow tripods up there so this is hand-holding. Just about got away with it.
