Spring, Queenstown waterfront, New Zealand. New Zealand's premier tourist town has been heavily impacted since the national border was closed in March. Outside of holiday periods and two lockdown periods a smattering of locals is the norm.
Last week's Sunday my friends and I were planing to have a BBQ, so Saturday was shopping day :)
On my way back I passed the central station and I was treated with a nice surprise. I saw an "Uppsala steamer" preparing to departure.
This lovely paddle steamer painted in white and lichen green with gold embellishments has been beautifully restored and kept to perfection and operates on Lake Brienz. She was launched on the 25th July 1914 - re-launched in June 2001 after restoration. She is berthed behind the Hotel Du Lac in Interlaken a few yards from the landing stage.

TIP: If you get to travel on her, book a first class ticket which accesses the upper deck.

Steamed clams is a seafood dish cooked by steaming.
In New England the dish is commonly prepared with a kind of shellfish called "steamers", a somewhat generic name that usually refers to a small soft-shell clam harvested and served along the East Coast and in New England. Steamers are so named because of the way they are most often prepared. They are absolutely delicious, just dipped in drawn butter, and about as messy as eating lobster, but that's why we have napkins.
The American Steamship Company steamer "Sharon" is upbound on the St. Clair River at Port Huron, Michigan as the pilot house windows reflect the last light of the day. The Sharon powered by a steam turbine is nearing the end of her service life as the turbine boats ate lots of fuel and soon they would be very expensive to operate with fuel prices skyrocketing - December 9, 1979
The Kristiania (Oslo) Port Authority steamer Jarl photographed by Anders Beer Wilse in 1901. My restoration and colorization of the original black and white photo in the Norwegian Maritime Museum archive (Digital Museum). I can imagine that the steamer was also used to entertain guests in the port of Oslo and the vicinity.
My parents gave me this 1950's era steamer trunk. It's been sitting in my garage holding blankets. It is very large and my husband would love for us to throw it out. I can't believe people actually travelled with these.
For Crazy Tuesday - Something Old
The male came in to drink from some fresh, or near-fresh water, near a seawall. There was a drainage pipe coming out of the wall. Next came the female and a few of her young ducklings.
The female looks similar, yet different. The most notable difference being the bill and legs, and the head colour. In North America, the female's plumage is usually quite subdued compared to the male, but in this species the body colour patterns are similar, with only the head being less vibrant.
