Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai.
As I discovered while I was here, elephants LOVE a good scratch and love to eat, quite often both at once.
If you ever get up to Chiang Mai, make the trip to this park...worth every penny, you will have the most amazing experience!

More than 100 Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment receive cheers of welcome at the 4:30 a.m. redeployment ceremony at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, Oct. 28. 2014.
Following their midnight arrival at the Eielson Air Force Base, after a small reception there, and after waiting patiently through a few mandatory briefings, Soldiers were bussed to Hanger 5 where wide-awake friends and families applauded and held home-made signs. They were accompanied by other Soldiers from the U.S. Army Aviation Task Force, the 9th U.S. Army Band, and the veterans and volunteers of the local VFW Post #3629 who provided a flag-line to show their support. This is their second main body of Soldiers returning from Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Approximately 140 members of 1-52nd AVN remain deployed in support of the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, and they are expected to return later next month. (U.S. Army photos by Capt.

KCT Train 112 has been tasked with dumping a pair of GREX Dump Train loads of ballast next to the KCT Blue Valley Industrial Branch Track 243 today near 12th Street. The ballast will be used throughout the spring on the KCT for capital improvement projects. 243 Track is Ex-BNSF, originally a Frisco line to Springfield, MO, and is used by the KCT to serve daily customers Reload Central, Aspen Products, and International Paper in Eastern Kansas City. Prior to acquisition by the KCT it was known as the BNSF Coburg Branch. This ballast train operated at BNSF Train U CHEKCM8 28B from Cheyenne, WY to Kansas City, MO. Passing our train on the parallel UP KC Metro Sub. is a coal load, UP Train 2CCDSA9 03.
It is highly unlikely (but not impossible) that six axle locomotives were ever used on this line, but these big engines here are definitely a rare sight nowadays.

This photo shows a woman standing at a table, preparing food in a kitchen setting. She is wearing an apron and is focused on her task. The table is filled with various bowls containing different ingredients, and she is using a knife to cut food.
There are several other people in the scene, some of whom are also engaged in food preparation or other tasks. A few bowls are placed on the table, and a spoon can be seen near the center of the table. The overall atmosphere of the scene suggests a busy and collaborative environment, with people working together to prepare a meal.

Joint Task Force-East
NOVO SELO, Bulgaria — U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel joined together for two symbolic ceremonies Sept. 27 and 28 as exercise Lion Strike came to an end.
First, Joint Task Force-East celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a humanitarian project at a kindergarten in Mokren, Bulgaria. Eleven U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, otherwise known as SeaBees, finished an extensive renovation of the school during the exercise.
The children from the school, along with parents, teachers, school director, local officials and U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel, crowded the small courtyard during the ceremony.
"We say in the United States that the children are our future," said Army Lt. Col. Bruce Sones, commanding officer for JTF-E "Lion Strike".
"We hope through the efforts of those involved in this project that the improved environment created for teaching the children will contribute to the children's development as they grow and become leaders in your society."
The school director, Margarita Nicolova, thanked the SeaBees and then presented them with a picture painted by the children, a CD of Bulgarian folk music, a photo of the children and a glass vial filled with Bulgarian soil.
Of the soil, she said, "Wherever you go, you know you'll have a piece of Bulgaria with you."
The school children then sang several songs for the audience and the ribbon was cut. But, there was another surprise for the children, a HMMWV full of gifts. All of the soldiers, sailors and airmen participating in the exercise had contributed money to buy much-needed school supplies and educational toys for the school.
"We will maintain what you have done, and promise to continue with improvements," said Emil Enchev, mayor of Mokren. "Hopefully we will continue working together in the future."
The next day, all JTF-E "Lion Strike" participants, both U.S. and Bulgarian, came together again, this time to commemorate the end of the exercise during the closing ceremony.
During the ceremony Sones and Col. Biser Kalinov, chief of Training, Bulgarian Land Forces, presented certificates of achievement to 14 U.S. Soldiers and 16 Bulgarian soldiers for their efforts during the exercise.
"During this training, we had the opportunity to gain military experience from the leading force in NATO - the United States Military, and to show that while representing a small army, the Bulgarian officers, Non-commissioned officers and soldiers are honorable partners and excellent professionals," said Kalinov, who spoke first during the ceremony.
He was followed by Sones, who echoed Kalinov's feelings.
"This closing ceremony does not mark the end of a training opportunity or a farewell to relationships fostered," said Sones.
"In our minds, it marks the hopeful commencement of future training opportunities to be conducted between our nations."
"We can truly say the professionalism and generosity of the Bulgarian Land Forces is unrivaled," he continued.
"We know the strong relationship between the United States and Bulgaria, as demonstrated during this exercise, will continue to grow, and we look forward to training and serving with you in the years to come."
Phonar Workshop 1 Task 2 - Theme 'I Wish I'd Taken That'
After thinking about the images which I had already taken there was one 'Mannqeuinn' which I kept comparing to 'Tattooed...'. From that and a comment made by Annilina (www.flickr.com/photos/annamarques/) about how two of the original image could 'fit one into another' I decided to try and find my images which were loosely like the other images from the first workshop.
Mannequinn - A picture from a mobile art creation as part of the Margate Photo Fest.
Patience - A dog waiting and observing the world while it sits on the promonade at Hastings.
Likeness: Obviously the general composition. There's also the weird contrast, the lady on the left has the flowers on her arm and chest. The lady on the right has the opposite, it's only on her face and dress.
