At Carolina Tiger Rescue.
It's been several years since I visited the big cat rescue nearby. As always, a thrill to see the animals in a sanctuary where they will be treated well and cared for as they live out the rest of their lives after having been neglected, and mistreated. The Carolina Tiger Rescue does wonderful work!
Trapper Peak, Montana, was named by my great, great, great uncle, Granville Lee Shook in 1876, who was a surveyor for the Anaconda Mining Company.
Here, he gave a whole impression of a Russian trapper, looking for his pray or was it his way?
He had us rolling with laughter, he is just so witty, the accent spot on, some Flemish words 'Russianised'...
The lighting again was an interesting challenge, because of the hand, ah well I'm sure you'll let me know if I've pulled it off!
From the series: Ex-and impressions.
Hope you are enjoying this?
Many more to come, but for now see the whole set so far for the context and full story.
Thanx, M, (*_*)

Rare to get this close to the statues in the fountain (only in winter, as they boarded up les bassins de la fontaine). Walking around Place d'Armes in the early night, during the colder months, is always a treat. Raphaël-Lambert Closse seems so out of his element but still intent of getting his catch.
Réflection d'un homme en bronze : "J'espère qu'il ne rateront pas la Place d'Armes comme ils ont raté la Place Jacques Cartier...!" il se dit en fixant les architectes paysagers au loin.

• Im ausgehenden 19. sowie 20. Jahrhundert, haben hier vielfach Trapper überwintert. Diese Tradition wurde in Mushamna bis in die jüngere Vergangenheit fortgeführt, dort hatte der Norweger Kjell Reidar Hovelsrud in den späten 1980er Jahren eine sehr schöne, solide Hütte gebaut. Diese ging später in den Besitz des Sysselmannen über. Dieser hat die Hütte noch einige Jahre lang an Leute vergeben, die ein Jahr als Trapper in der Arktis leben wollten.
• At the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, many trappers wintered here. This tradition was continued in Mushamna until the recent past, there the Norwegian Kjell Reidar Hovelsrud had built in the late 1980s, a very beautiful, solid hut. This later passed into the possession of Sysselmannen. For a few more years, he gave the hut to people who wanted to live as trappers in the Arctic for a year.

A brief article by Islander author Eugene Cameron - Port Kusam was established in 1895 and is located in a just south of the mouth of the Salmon River on Johnstone Straight. The Ruby House at Port Kusam opened in 1898. It operated as a store, saloon, post office, and hotel until 1921, at which time it was bought by a family from Victoria for use as a place of residence. A Union Steam Ship stopped in the straight to off-load supplies, a rowboat would bring the cargo to Port Kusam. The Ruby House has long been abandoned. Its usefulness came to an end as families came to settle in the area and built their homes along the Salmon River in the Sayward Valley and docking facilities were built at Kelsey Bay.

Ruby House - At the time of the Klondike gold rush, the Port Kusam Hotel was a stop along Johnstone Strait for the would-be miners. The post office was on the left us you entered the Store: Kohse describes a chicken-wire-walled postmaster's office containing rows of letter boxes labelled with faded names. But he has regrets for not paving more heed to the first hand accounts of long-passed old timers and storytellers who gathered in the beer parlour, picked up mail and stocked up with supplies and provisions from the store.
A century ago, however, the whitewashed false-fronted building overlooking Johnstone Strait just, south of Kelsey Bay at what is now spelled Hkusam, must have been a magnificent sight for Union Steamship passengers, Klondike gold rush hopefuls, itinerant cannery workers and hand loggers steaming, sailing or rowing through a vast frontier. Theodore Peterson, a Swedish immigrant, built the hotel in 1895 and operated it until 1921. In keeping with the old real estate mantra of "location, location, location," Peterson seized the opportunity to stake out an oasis of civilization and commerce in a trackless coastal wilderness. The hotel, saloon, store and post office were located "stepping-stone" distance north of the Lund Hotel (1895) and post office (1892). LINK - www.newspapers.com/clip/98969244/times-colonist/
Six miles south of Kelsey Bay is Sayward post office, which was established in 1894 upon land owned by Hans Otto Sachts. He had a general store which had begun in a small cabin, then was enlarged to accommodate his many customers. For many years afterwards some items no longer available could be found on the shelves, but only Mr. Sachts knew exactly where to find any item at any time.
The PORT KUSAM Post Office was established - 1 March 1899 - it changed name to Sayward - 1 December 1911.

Clipped from - Vancouver Daily World newspaper - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - 1 Jun 1918 - NAMED HANS OTTO SACHT Sayward Island Postmaster is German, ex-Soldier Charges. During the mass meeting of returned soldiers at the imperial Theatre on Friday night J. E. Armishaw, of Sayward Island, who went overseas and was honorably discharged from the army, charged that the postmaster at Sayward Island was a German named Hans Otto Sacht, who had amassed a fortune as postmaster, telegraph operator, mail carrier and storekeeper. This man, he said, spoke the German language and taught his six boys to do so, further charging that all efforts by residents in the form of petitions and appeals to the local federal member, Mr. Clements, to look into the question had proved unavailing. He instanced several alleged disloyal utterances and acts by the postmaster and his wife.

Yelm is located in southeastern Thurston County, adjacent to its border with Pierce County, along the Nisqually River. The city is near the Nisqually Indian Reservation, locate to the northwest on State Route 510, and Joint Base Lewis–McChord on the northeast side of the river. Another major highway, State Route 507, connects Yelm to Centralia and Spanaway near Tacoma. The word "Yelm" is said to come from the Coast Salish word shelm or chelm, meaning "heat waves from the sun", referring to heat mirages.

A Httyd-themed Lego diorama featuring the Scauldron, a water-dragon that spits out boiling liquid.
A group of dragon trappers have caught an infant Scauldron, who cunningly decide to use it as bait to lure out it's mother. It worked, though not without having with drastic consequences towards for both the trappers and the enraged mother Scauldron.

I wanted to make dragon trappers (like those seen from Httyd 2) in action, and got carried away and threw in a baby dragon at the last minute...
Anyway, I'll add more pics of the dragon and the infant later.
Early morning around 4am. Just me and the mosquitoes, despite my bottle of OFF spray. They persisted.
I got inspiration for this minifigure from the movie The Revenant and hunters who used traps to hunt furry animals.
