From 'Snow Day' at the beginning of February. I battled my way to the top of The South Downs like an intrepid explorer and found these wonderful parallel lines between the horizon and a hedge in a field. A couple of hours later and the had melted!
The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 kilometers (19,660 mi), is designed primarily to facilitate transportation to and from Antananarivo, the Malagasy capital. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Few Malagasy own private vehicles; long-distance travel is often accomplished in taxi brousses ('bush taxis') which may be shared by 20 or more people.
While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Programme has classified nearly two-thirds of the overall road network as being in poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and dahalo (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education.
Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, to deter attacks from dahalo, the government of Madagascar requires that drivers travel in convoys of at least ten vehicles. Car collision fatalities are not fully reported, but the rate is estimated to be among the highest in the world. Random police checkpoints, at which travelers are required to produce identity documents, are spread throughout the country. Crops are transported by ox cart locally and by truck inter-regionally. Human-powered vehicles, once the only means of road transport, are still found in the form of pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Taxi brousses constitute a rudimentary road-based public transportation system in Madagascar. Rides on taxi brousses cost as little as 200 Malagasy ariary (roughly US$0.10) as of 2005, and vehicles involved are often overpacked, sometimes with the assistant driver riding on the outside of the vehicle. Stops on their routes are generally not fixed, allowing passengers to exit at arbitrary points.

La red de carreteras de Madagascar, que comprende alrededor de 4.500 carreteras únicas que abarcan 31.640 kilómetros (19.660 millas), está diseñada principalmente para facilitar el transporte hacia y desde Antananarivo, la capital malgache. El transporte por estas carreteras, la mayoría de las cuales no están pavimentadas y tienen dos carriles de ancho, suele ser peligroso. Son pocos los malgaches que poseen vehículos privados; Los viajes de larga distancia a menudo se realizan en taxis ("taxis rurales") que pueden ser compartidos por 20 o más personas.
Si bien la mayoría de las carreteras principales están en buenas condiciones, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos ha clasificado casi dos tercios de la red vial general como en malas condiciones. Estas condiciones pueden hacer que sea peligroso conducir a velocidades de moderadas a altas y los ataques de dahalo (bandidos) representan una amenaza a bajas velocidades. Muchas carreteras son intransitables durante la estación húmeda de Madagascar; algunos puentes (a menudo estructuras estrechas de un solo carril) son vulnerables a ser arrastrados. Son pocos los malgaches rurales que viven cerca de una carretera en buenas condiciones; La mala conectividad vial puede plantear desafíos en la atención de salud, la agricultura y la educación.
Los conductores en Madagascar circulan por el lado derecho de la carretera. En algunas carreteras, para disuadir los ataques desde Dahalo, el gobierno de Madagascar exige que los conductores viajen en convoyes de al menos diez vehículos. Las muertes por colisiones automovilísticas no se informan en su totalidad, pero se estima que la tasa se encuentra entre las más altas del mundo. Por todo el país hay puestos de control policial aleatorios, en los que los viajeros deben presentar documentos de identidad. Los cultivos se transportan en carretas de bueyes a nivel local y en camiones a nivel interregional. Los vehículos de propulsión humana, que alguna vez fueron el único medio de transporte por carretera, todavía se encuentran en forma de pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Los taxis constituyen un rudimentario sistema de transporte público por carretera en Madagascar. Los viajes en taxi cuestan tan solo 200 ariary malgaches (aproximadamente 0,10 dólares estadounidenses) en 2005, y los vehículos involucrados suelen estar demasiado llenos, a veces con el asistente del conductor viajando en el exterior del vehículo. Las paradas en sus rutas generalmente no son fijas, lo que permite a los pasajeros salir en puntos arbitrarios.

San Francisco, CA - 2014
This is an oft photographed location, one I plan on revisiting a number of times. Many years ago it was introduced to me by the dog I had at the time, little did I know then how differently I would view this location today.
For all the awkward experiences we had. Today was definitely worth it.
More tomorrow, also comments and stuff will be read and I will do some stream browsing as well. I'm just too tired for now. Goodnight!
So I know third isn't too much to brag about, but when you're in competition for best in show against a little kid on her fat lil pony and think they deserve ALL of the places? Third is pretty dang good for your first time in a show!

This is my Third representation of my own Batmobile !
It’s an upgraded version of my first design. It takes a lot of things from the rebirth batmobile.
My idea was to make a rather modern bamtobile with very straight and sharp shapes. I also added some greeblings to add texture.
The interior is fully detailed and the Bat of Gotham himself and a passenger can fit on it.
I hope you enjoy the build!

Third Man Records is an independent record label founded by Jack White in Detroit, Michigan, in 2001.
The rails once led across the river to the Historic Third Ward to serve a few customers. The line was abandoned in the early 20th century and almost nothing remains. The swing bridge is still in place, permanently open, but all rails on this side of the river have been pulled or paved over. In this picture, the tracks went to the warehouse to the right and a second track continued straight across E Corcoran St into a factory that is now a series of apartments.
SP 1153 & 1113 work the third trick trim job at the Antelope end of the Roseville yard. Growing up I never got tired of watching the SP switchers work Antelope, and it seems like they all vanished overnight, replaced by SD7s and SW1200 combinations.

Getting lucky
Hosting clothing swaps requires coordination and logistics, but the reward is worth it. Besides scoring new-to-me pieces for myself, I love seeing my guests find their own prizes.
I hosted my third clothing swap of the year. Despite prior closet cleanouts, even returning guests had plenty to donate. The swaps always end with delighted guests and lots of leftovers for charity.I’m not wearing anything from a swap, but the sweater, skirt, boots, and belt are all thrifted.

The tree pipit (Anthus trivialis) like this one, was one of the first birds I photographed and registered after buying better bird photography gear and getting even more interested in birds 4.5 years ago.
Although it is common in most of Norway, I have only seen and photographed it that first time, once more some months later, and then not until June this year when I took this photo.
It can be distinguished from the similar but slightly smaller meadow pipit (heipiplerke in Norwegian), by its heavier bill and greater contrast between its buff (yellowish-beige coloured) breast and white belly.
Tree pipits also more readily sit in trees, has a stronger call and a different and nicer song than the meadow pipit.
They winter in tropical Africa and return to their breeding grounds in May.
