No clue what species bird it is from, but found 'out of the way' at the North Carolina Transportation Museum.
The returning CP-BN transfer pauses for a while in the West 7th neighborhood in St. Paul while traffic clears up along the CP and UP in downtown. The Soo Line's final locomotive on their roster leads the show today, though repainted and renumbered for CP.
The temporary bridge ("Behilfsbrücke" in German) over the Wesel-Datteln-Kanal was built in 2011 aftre the old bridge from the 1960's had to be removed because of concrete degradation. As can be seen by the guard rails on the right this bridge is about half of the width of the old one. After 10 years plan for a new permanent bridge are under way now.
Sitting on the cold dirt floor
I want to finish the counting of days on the walls
I build a ladder from broken wish bones
And square-shaped stones
That my friends threw down in the hole

Remodel, Week 16
(cont.) Welp, as of the following week, I got my answer: it was a temporary relocation of the pharmacy! l_dawg2000 (and/or my mom; can’t remember who got to me first XD ) actually informed me of this, as I wasn’t in town that weekend. (He’s also already posted his own picture of it, which you can see here.) But the next weekend, I made sure to get my own photo of the tiny structure, even if I had to do it very quickly while we were in the checkout line! (As a result, please pardon the person visible on the right of the photograph :P )
For being a temporary pharmacy, this setup looks very complex… as it should, I suppose, considering that those are dozens of customers’ prescriptions and records they have to keep protected within that cramped little space. If you zoom in through the windows, you can see that this mini-pharmacy box even has its own drop ceiling and lighting, which is even more impressive! (I’d bet that that also makes it even more claustrophobic in there for the poor employees, though…) The only downsides to this temporary setup (besides the aforementioned issue of space) are the facts that when it gets busy, customers waiting in line will now interfere with the flow of shoppers exiting the checkouts, and, as those yellow signs at the pickup counter read, they’re only able to do prescription checkouts right now (no other services).
And in the interim, what’s becoming of the old pharmacy, you ask? Well, I’ll show you! Stay tuned for Part 2 of this update tomorrow… :)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Watching a beautiful Sunset warms my heart, it's good for the spirit - Jan 2008
wishing all a great weekend!
Trucks are temporarily, but the back is now almost the way I want to have it. Hopefully the next picture will be a final one.
To speed up my building process I have decided to care just 2-3% less about exact details, width of bricks and power train. From previous builds (for example the 6400) I found out that these things really can hamper my building time, but also my building experience. It was always very black and white with me regarding how something should look like, meaning I would stare for hours on one detail without finding the 'definitive' solution. To change this, I have decided to go more with the flow of the brick. More into the grey spectrum, if you want to say it that way. Yes, it should still look good, and be correct scale-wise, but I have decided (at least for the first version of a build) to care a lot less about the absolute minor details that anybody nobody sees. Untill now I must say this has really shortened up my designing and building phases.
For example I can point out to the utilities hose attachment points on the back: IRL there are 5 on every side, for clearness and structural integrity's sake I decided to cut this back to 1 on each side. The idea is still there, it still breaks up an otherwise more boring back end, but I don't have to mess around for hours with the perfect placement anymore. Same for the side grill, I have actually already replaced the grill tiles (which I anyways don't like because they look too rough for this type of rosters) with grill bricks on the non-visible side. Less clutter, less messing around, and a maybe even better looking loco, if I may say so.
With a rather 'interesting' destination board, Shaun's Minibus & Coach Hire's former Metroline hybrid Optare Tempo LK58CUA which is seen leaving Thirsk Marketplace whilst working service 153 back to Northallerton. Wednesday 9th August
For at least the second time this week a DRS Class 66 stands in for a poorly Colas example to head the 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk Kronospan log train, on this occasion No.66421.
The ensemble is seen at Greenlands, south of Langwathby on the Settle & Carlisle line.

Almost all the crab spiders I find in the flowers are missing limbs. From what I understand, though, they grow back. I think this is Mecaphesa dubia.

When I stepped out of the office for lunch, these plastic bunkers were on the footpath just outside. They are hollow and get filled up with water when in use. I went "oooh ... wow" and proceeded to snap away, while my colleague thought to herself "what an eyesore", until I showed her this beautiful yin-yang line. She saw my fascination then, and commented that I tended to see beauty in everything.

Remodel, Week 5
(cont.) ...and on that note, a fair amount of the merchandise that used to be housed over near the bakery has already found itself relocated to make room for the produce walk-in cooler. As you can see here, prepackaged bread, as well as (on the other side of this shelving) prepackaged muffins, bagels, and tortillas, have all been temporarily placed between the meat department's coffin coolers and the beer aisle, which runs perpendicular to said coolers. In the background of this photo, you can get a better, more zoomed-out indication of just how large the produce cooler will be. Also, for reference, here's a shot taken from over at the bakery, looking toward the spot where I was standing for this pic.

All them panels up top are in restoration in New Jersey. I guess New Jersey's finally good for something, ha ha ha, no one cares about this burn and I'm sure New Jersey's somewhat OK.

David Hockney (b. 1937) - Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy (1968). In a private collection. Shown at the temporary exhibition "David Hockney 25" at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, April-August 2025.
The curators commented: "This painting of the writer Christopher Isherwood and his companion the painter Don Bachardy is one of the most representative of David Hockney’s double portraits. Depicted frontally, its quasi-stillness broken only by the movement of Isherwood’s head, for the young Hockney they symbolise the freedom of Californian society, where a male couple of different ages could be seen in a relationship that today would be described as “open”."
There was a considerable age difference between Dan, born in 1934 and Christopher, born in 1904. Friends were skeptical when they met in 1942 but the relationship lasted until Christopher's death in 1986 (of prostate cancer). Dan still lives in their house.
She borrowed the dress from my Pongpong Pancake and the wig from my Lati Bat Noa. It's just a temporary look since she was an impulse buy, second hand. But I think she will keep dark hair.
An abandoned and decaying home in Gibara seems like it's being used by someone. I think this coast was really hit hard by hurricane Sandy a few years back, and some of the places just haven't been fixed. But with Cuba it's hard to tell.
Over Melbourne Cup Weekend 2012 the tram tracks were relaid in Riversdale Road, Camberwell; Melbourne Tram Route 70.
Line of temporary fencing leading down hill to Camberwell Junction.
In this photo; the old track and concrete have been removed, the trench is being prepared to receive the conduit, which will later contain tram communication cables etc., prior to installation of the new track.
At this time, I was challenged by PegBecks to ilustrate Andy Goldsworthy's art.
She loves Goldsworthy's work. On her words" His art is temporary - it is created, photographed and then (for many of his works) can be gone."
Because of the low temperatures we’ve been having, (minus 30 degrees Celsius right now ; with the wind chill it feels like minus 44 degrees Celsius), I really struggled with the challenge, the materials used in Andy Goldsworthy's art often include brightly-colored flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns. He has been quoted as saying, "I think it's incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole." Goldsworthy is generally considered the founder of modern rock balancing. For his ephemeral works, Goldsworthy often uses only his bare hands, teeth, and found tools to prepare and arrange the materials; however, for his permanent sculptures he has also employed the use of machine tools.
Photography plays a crucial role in his art due to its often ephemeral and transient state. According to Goldsworthy, "Each work grows, stays, decays – integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expressed in the image. Process and decay are implicit.
Goldsworthy produced a commissioned work for the entry courtyard of San Francisco's De Young Museum called "Drawn Stone", which echoes San Francisco's frequent earthquakes and their effects. His installation included a giant crack in the pavement that broke off into smaller cracks, and broken limestone, which could be used for benches. The smaller cracks were made with a hammer adding unpredictability to the work as he created it.
Peg, I would love to be an artist, but I know I am far for it… This is what I was able to come up with.
I'll also double dip it for ODC2 - Making tracks !

temporary city and regional area bus terminal - financial district south, san francisco, california. 2 stitched images.
From shaving that is. Nobody at work knows that I've been growing this horrible thing under the masks we must always wear. Usually, after a few weeks of this, I can't stand it and out comes the razor.
While the Hickory Hill Sears liquidation had a very healthy-sized crowd when we visited, the one here at Wolfchase was by far the most crowded liquidation (of any retailer) I've ever been to. Having registers even temporarily unavailable was certainly not a good thing. By comparison, the Jonesboro Sears closing was pretty much snoozeville, while Whitehaven Sears was somewhere in the middle. (Reminder to myself to hunt down some more Whitehaven Sears pics if I can find them) :P

The Alaska Highway travels through some pretty gorgeous but remote and unforgiving country. It has changed a great deal since I first travelled it in the mid 70's, and probably bares little to no resemblance to the original military road that shares its name.
Unfortunately, as the highway has been straightened, improved and paved, the need for many of the lodges that festooned its length and provided much needed respite for those travelling on older versions of the trail has diminished. In some cases, they were abandoned when the road shifted, in other cases, the owners may have died, moved on, or simply given up. This photo was taken on the site of one of those many boarded up and decaying vestiges of the past.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro hand held. Image processing was performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.X and in Nik Analog Efex Pro. I hope you like the result.
