The Soo River Company steamer Soo River Trader is upbound on the Detroit River viewed from Windsor, Ontario with some gems still on the old Detroit skyline. The 1906 built Trader is the former Upper lakes Shipping "Goderich", just one of the old classics picked up from the scrap lists by the Soo River Company.

The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”

You can see a wisp of forest fire smoke just off the water to the right. A day later this area was closed to prepare for potential forest fire evacuation.

ENG: The Nauener Gate (in german: Nauener Tor) is one of the three preserved city gates of Potsdam. It was built in 1755 and is considered the first building of neo-Gothic style on the European continent. In 1755, i.e. 20 years before the actual beginning of neo-Gothic architecture on the continent, an architecture in Gothic forms was created with the Nauener Tor in Potsdam after a sketch by Friedrich II by the architect Johann Gottfried Büring. In 1867-69, King Wilhelm I rebuilt this gate into its present form.
Originally, a city wall connected the Nauen Gate with the other two gates, the Jägertor and the Brandenburg Gate at Luisenplatz. Instead of the city wall, which has not been preserved, a promenade now connects the three remaining Potsdam city gates. The Nauener Tor is located in the immediate vicinity of the Dutch Quarter. Its users were the military and traders, craftsmen and administrations up to the restaurant. The square in front of the Nauener Tor has been a popular meeting place for Potsdammers and their guests since the last renovation of the gate and redesign of the traffic management in 1996 with the high density of cafés, restaurants and bars. The tram tracks run directly through the Nauener Tor. In addition, there are only two other cities in the German-speaking area with such gate crossings, namely the tram in Freiburg im Breisgau and the cage tower at the Bern tram.
GER: Das Nauener Tor ist eines der drei erhaltenen Stadttore von Potsdam. Es wurde 1755 erbaut und gilt als erstes Bauwerk neugotischen Stils auf dem europäischen Kontinent. 1755, also 20 Jahre vor dem eigentlichen Beginn der Neugotik auf dem Kontinent, entstand nach einer Skizze Friedrichs II. durch den Architekten Johann Gottfried Büring mit dem Nauener Tor in Potsdam eine Architektur in gotischen Formen. 1867–69 wurde dieses Tor durch König Wilhelm I. in seine heutige Gestalt umgebaut.
Ursprünglich verband eine Stadtmauer das Nauener Tor mit den beiden anderen Toren, dem Jägertor und dem Brandenburger Tor am Luisenplatz. Anstelle der nicht erhaltenen Stadtmauer verbindet heute eine Promenade die drei noch verbliebenen Potsdamer Stadttore. Das Nauener Tor befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Holländischen Viertel. Seine Nutzer waren das Militär und Händler, Handwerker und Verwaltungen bis zum Restaurant. Der Platz vor dem Nauener Tor ist seit der letzten Renovierung des Tores und Umgestaltung der Verkehrsführung 1996 mit der hohen Dichte von Cafés, Restaurants und Bars ein beliebter Treffpunkt der Potsdamer und ihrer Gäste. Die Gleise der Straßenbahn führen direkt durch das Nauener Tor. Darüber hinaus gibt es im deutschsprachigen Raum nur noch zwei andere Städte mit derartigen Tordurchfahrten, hierbei handelt es sich um die der Straßenbahn in Freiburg im Breisgau und den Käfigturm bei der Straßenbahn Bern.

Peul (Fulani, Fulbe, Fula) herdsmen with traditional wide-brimmed fibre-and-leather conical hats meet at the weekly market in front of Djenné's Great Mosque. A colourful multiethnic gathering of herders and traders converges at the mosque from the surrounding regions and fertile flood plains of the Niger River inland delta in central Mali. Digital film scan, Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, shot directly under the noonday sun, circa 1976.
The Great Mosque of Djenné towers over the market in a seemingly apocalyptic backdrop on this day. The mosque is considered the world’s largest adobe building and one of the greatest achievements of Sudano-Sahelian architecture, unique to the semi-arid Sahel zone that stretches across northern Africa just south of an encroaching Sahara.
These Peul herdsmen are likely from the class of “free nobles” (mostly nomadic herders, religious and political leaders, some tradesmen and sedentary cultivators) at the top of a highly stratified caste-based Peul society.
Ethnographers distinguish this class from lower-tiered occupational groups or “castes” (griot story tellers and song-praisers, artisans, blacksmiths, potters, woodworkers, dress makers) and descendants of slaves (labourers, brick makers, house builders).

Postrscript - The enchanting Arabian Nights imagery emanating out of this ancient marketplace at the time if this photo shoot (1976) is reminiscent of a seemingly bygone Sahelian era devoid of smartphones, credit cards and packaged safari tours.
Nowadays, nascent tourism is on hold and easy access to markets, pastures and farmlands is hampered as ethnic strife and inter-communal violence continue to erupt under a fragile or failed Malian state with a troubled history of military coups.
The current military junta relies on mercenaries from the private Russian-backed Wagner Group for its security needs, coinciding with the recent French withdrawal of troops from the region. By providing protection to the Malian military regime, the Moscow-centered paramilitary group has increased its power and access to Mali's scarce natural resources.
In 2018, Human Rights Watch reported that the Mopti region of central Mali has become an epicentre of inter-rethnic conflict, fuelled by a steady escalation of violence by armed Islamist groups largely allied with Al Qaeda’s advance from the north since 2015.
Recruitment to the militant Islamist movement from Peul pastoral herding communities has inflamed tensions within sedentary agrarian communities (Bambara, Dogon, Tellem, Bozo and others) who rely on access to agricultural lands for their livelihood.
Predominantly Muslim but opposing ethnic self-defence militias on both sides have been formed for the protection of their own respective communities. This has contributed to a continuous cycle of violent attacks and reprisals touching villages and hamlets, pastures and farmlands, and some marketplaces.
While communal tensions are profoundly connected to a larger ethnopolitical conflict unfolding in northern Mali, chronic insecurities around the ancient town of Djenné and in the broader central regions of Mali are exacerbated by longstanding indigenous concerns over a struggle for scarce natural resources - agricultural land for settled farmers versus water and grazing land for semi-nomadic Peul herdsmen.
Efforts at mediation in the area around Djenné and the grand mosque include a Humanitarian Agreement specifically among Bambara and Bozo farmers, Dogan "hunters" protecting farmers' interests and Peul herders, all committed to guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods and livestock in the "Circle of Djenné" situated in the Mopti region of central Mali.

Another of the Dino Traders, this one uses the Pyroraptor from LEGO set #76951, "Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport"
I was originally going to use both dinos in that set to pull a cart (the previous pic) but the Pyroraptor is significantly bigger than the Dilophosaurus.
Not exactly T-Rex size, and certainly not Kale Scale size, but bigger.
Once home to the world-famous fruit and vegetable market, Covent Garden's Apple Market continues to support market traders, offering a range of unique handmade crafts and goods throughout the week.
In the South Piazza, the Jubilee Market changes its wares daily. On Mondays, the market is dedicated to antiques. From Tuesday to Friday, a general market operates with traders selling clothes and household goods. At weekends, the market offers arts and crafts.
