Zion National Park, UT
On my third day in Zion, the clouds finally began to break.

Passing Through, that's the theme over at www.pullfoc.us this week, weird.
The Third Place
The “Grand Stair” at the newly redesigned and renovated National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Seemingly, this grand stair - with its riser seating - has become a popular third place (a social environment distinct from the home - the first place, and the workplace - the second place) for students’ and professionals alike - many of whom were engaged in social and/or personal activities during our visit.
"Originally opened in 1969, a two-years belated centennial birthday gift to Canada, and designed by Fred Lebensold of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise, the existing building was a brutalist masterpiece." Today, the main public areas of the building - the atrium and mezzanine levels - are airy light-filled spaces, which overlook Confederation Square and the Chateau Laurier - in short, the view is magnificent.

The less photographed eastern limb, due to it being seen in the early morning, when most of us are tucked up nice and warm.
This building currently serves as the Lake Worth Beach City hall. It once held an auditorium that had a capacity for 350 people on the third floor. This is clearly seen on the front of the building because it still bears the words municipal auditorium.
The building features Moorish towers that were designed by G. Sherman Childs. He came to this area in 1913 to work for Addison Mizner until he was able opened his own firm.
ThIs building was built to be hurricane resistant as well as to provide shelter since the Great Hurricane of 1928 destroyed so such property before in this area. Money ran but while the building was being built due to the onset of the Great Depression. Local businesses helped financially and the building was finally on dedicated on November 28, 1935.
The basement and first floor rooms of this building were used for assemblies and meetings. During WWII the basement was used to entertain the Lake Worth USO.
In 1953 the Lake Worth Playhouse began performances in the building but then closed in the 1970's.
Today this building is still in use and holds all of the city governmental departments.

At the third attempt...
I've been at Dalkeith Country Park three times in the past week trying to get bluebell shots. Time was running out with the bluebells at their peak for such a short time. I tried shots with the fog at the weekend (a bit flat) but what I really wanted was some with sunlight and shadows around sunset. So I got the light I was after last night and here is one of the many shots I captured.
Let me know what you think and if you want to see some more (I know bluebells aren't everyone's cup of tea).
Have a nice day!

Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin.
The park is located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory. It covers an area of 19,804 km2 (7,646 sq mi), extending nearly 200 kilometres from north to south and over 100 kilometres from east to west. It is the size of Slovenia, about one-third the size of Tasmania, or nearly half the size of Switzerland.
The name Kakadu may come from the mispronunciation of Gaagudju, which is the name of an Aboriginal language spoken in the northern part of the park. This name may derive from the Indonesian word kakatuwah, (via Dutch kaketoe and German Kakadu) subsequently Anglicised as "cockatoo”.
Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years. Kakadu National Park is renowned for the richness of its Aboriginal cultural sites. There are more than 5,000 recorded art sites illustrating Aboriginal culture over thousands of years. The archaeological sites demonstrate Aboriginal occupation for up to 60,000 years.
The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognised internationally when the park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognised as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu was listed in three stages: stage 1 in 1981, stage 2 in 1987, and the entire park in 1992.
Approximately half of the land in Kakadu is Aboriginal land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, and most of the remaining land is currently under claim by Aboriginal people. The areas of the park that are owned by Aboriginal people are leased by the traditional owners to the Director of National Parks to be managed as a national park. The remaining area is Commonwealth land vested under the Director of National Parks. All of Kakadu is declared a national park under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Aboriginal traditional owners of the park are descendants of various clan groups from the Kakadu area and have longstanding affiliations with this country. Their lifestyle has changed in recent years, but their traditional customs and beliefs remain very important. About 500 Aboriginal people live in the park, many of them are traditional owners. All of Kakadu is jointly managed by Aboriginal traditional owners and the Australian Government's Department of the Environment and Water Resources through a division known as Parks Australia. Park Management is directed by the Kakadu Board of Management.

For the third year in a row we took a ride south on Amtrak’s flagship, the Auto Train (train number 53) and it did not disappoint. All three times my truck was one of the first ones off affording me the opportunity to catch the terminal switcher spotting up the auto carriers. At right passengers are leaving the terminal passing vehicles beginning to arrive to check in for train 52 back north, while at left other vehicles can be seen awaiting offloading as a yard crew works with B32-8WH 511 (GE blt. Dec. 1991).
The Amtrak Auto Train terminal, yard, and maintenance shop is located just east of the Sanford Sub mainline (ex ACL, and now CFRC) off of CSXT's Aloma Spur branchline. The alignment of the terminal's stub tracks are opposite those in Lorton so that vehicles that are driven on from ramps on the south end of a cut of cars can be driven straight off ramps located on the north end. Here is the opposite (south) end of the stub end unloading yard showing the cars a
flagged up in this view from the Persimmon Road crossing which slices right through the middle of the Amtrak yard providing a great public view to watch the frenetic action around train times.
The railroad owns 80 auto racks that were special built by Johnstown America in 2005. The uniform fleet of 89 ft bi level only cars have solid aluminum sides and high speed trucks, and each carries up to eight standard size cars, suvs, or trucks.

Thank you for taking part in our third photo contest.
Unfortunately we did not receive many entries for this times photo contest.
Compared to the previous contest, we received only one-third of the entries.
And that included our blogger, who only received 15 particiapnts.
Our original plan was to award five winners, excluding our blogger, but unfortunately it was very difficult to select suitable entries for the winners.
So we made a change to choose 5 winners including our blogger.
We have chosen the following five as winners of this times contest.
Angelrose is one of the participants in every one of our photo contests.
We have two of her photos in this time contest, and both are wonderful reminders of spring.
We especially liked the one of the bakery clerk.
Dokatu is a great photographer who has won awards in photo contests in Okinawa.
We think her photos in this contest express the joy and happiness she feels as she welcomes the spring season.
Kazusa is the owner of Uzme Poses, and since she owns the Pose Store, she excels at taking photos that bring a sense of dynamism to avatars.
This time she became a clerk selling our bread.
Kixtutwun takes pictures of novel ideas for every one of our photo contests.
This time she took more interesting photos than we had expected.
This picture of her represents a scene from a Japanese sports day.
We are sure she had this experience in real life.
One of the great bloggers in our store, Tomomi.
Her photos always have a little story behind them.
This time she captured a wonderful breakfast scene.
Congratulations and best wishes to all the winners!
Some things deserve a second and third look and especially for a bird that was this cooperative! I might add that he actually gave me about twenty or thirty looks and it was difficult to pick a favorite! This was taken at Bay Area Park on Armand Bayou at a very small pond near the boat dock at the park! Yellow-crowned Night Heron doing a bit of hunting! When he was ready to leave he flew up and landed at the end of the pier about five feet away and walked into some tall grass and disappeared! He had little concern for my presence!
