Looking like a pile of dog turd - these log looking structures were once trees that are petrified - turned to rock.

I carried on from the card I started for last week's Macro Mondays and applied appropriate letters for a birthday card. I used an extra square to put a blob of glitter glue on it. I wouldn't have liked to mess up the card. I use glitter glue a lot, it is more effective than pens on coloured paper.
Taken last February with a touch of white snow on the ground. This poor bandit flanks and contrasts so nicely with the birch trees also in white.
Happy Truck Thursday

Le W hotel fait polémique. En 2020, cet hôtel, situé dans un nouveau quartier de la ville, a été élu "le pire de l'année". La bobine bronzée se profile à l’horizon de pratiquement toutes les perspectives de la capitale écossaise dans ce magnifique paysage avec ses flèches, son château et ses sites classés au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. La construction a fait couler beaucoup d'encre : sous certains angles, l’immeuble semble être posée sur les épaules des autres bâtiments, comme un dépôt malheureux tombé d’en haut. Cela lui a valu la création du compte Twitter satirique « Golden Turd hotel », soit, traduit littéralement, « l’hôtel de l’étron doré ». Voilà donc l'impression qu'ont les habitants face à la spirale marron. Les architectes du bâtiment, le cabinet londonien Jestico + Whiles , avait d’autres références en tête. Pour concevoir le bâtiment, les plans des architectes étaient initialement basés sur des images de bandeaux haute couture... Valentino, dont les rubans de soie flottent au-dessus de la tête des mannequins. Il y avait aussi des photos de gros rouleaux de papier dans les imprimeries qui peuplaient cette partie de la ville, pour cocher la case « contexte local ». La forme de la collation au chocolat Walnut Whip, née à Édimbourg, a également été mentionnée, ainsi qu’une spirale de zeste d’orange et même un cupcake glacé. "C'est un bâtiment qui évoque la joie. Il a pour but de célébrer Édimbourg en tant que capitale des festivals. On voulait quelque chose de plus communicatif et expressif, censé rendre les gens heureux", se défend l'un des responsables du projet. L’hôtel a certainement suscité la gaieté. Lorsque la ressemblance avec l’emoji caca est devenue évidente, une campagne a été lancée pour compléter le tableau : « Pit Googly Eyes Oan The Jobby » demande une pétition (pour mettre des yeux à l’édifice afin qu’il ressemble complètement à l’émoji).
L’hôtel n’est que la pointe dorée d’un iceberg de 158 000 mètres carrés de boutiques, de restaurants, d’un cinéma et d’appartements de luxe qui s’élèvent au-dessus d’un parking souterrain de 1 600 places en plein centre-ville. Il remplace l’ancienne mégastructure du St James Center, laissé à l’abandon dans les années 1990 suite à la découverte d’amiante.
The W hotel is controversial. In 2020, this hotel, located in a new part of town, was voted "the worst of the year". The tan reel looms on the horizon from virtually every perspective of Scotland's capital in this stunning landscape with its spiers, castle and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The construction has caused much ink to flow: from certain angles, the building seems to be resting on the shoulders of other buildings, like an unfortunate deposit fallen from above. This earned him the creation of the satirical Twitter account "Golden Turd hotel", literally translated, "the hotel of the golden turd". This is the impression that the inhabitants have of the brown spiral. The architects of the building, the London firm Jestico + Whiles, had other references in mind. To design the building, the architects' plans were initially based on images of haute couture... Valentino headbands, whose silk ribbons float above the heads of the models. There were also photos of large rolls of paper in the print shops that populated this part of town, to tick the “local context” box. The shape of the Edinburgh-born Walnut Whip chocolate snack was also mentioned, along with an orange peel spiral and even an iced cupcake. "It's a building that evokes joy. Its purpose is to celebrate Edinburgh as the capital of festivals. We wanted something more communicative and expressive, supposed to make people happy", defends one of the managers of the project. The hotel certainly aroused mirth. When the resemblance to the poop emoji became apparent, a campaign was launched to complete the picture: 'Pit Googly Eyes Oan The Jobby' is asking for a petition (to put eyes on the building so that it looks completely like the emoji).
The hotel is just the golden tip of a 158,000 square meter iceberg of shops, restaurants, a cinema and luxury apartments that rise above a 1,600 square meter underground car park. squares in the city center. It replaces the old megastructure of the St James Center, abandoned in the 1990s following the discovery of asbestos.

It is meant to resemble a ribbon but many critics have said it resembles a golden poo emoji!

*Yep, that is what it's called!
YSPBN departs State Street with a clean SD62E leading a couple of turds. The train had a healthy cut of intermodal for East Minneapolis on the head pin.
MRONYX 27, or "the turd" as crews were referring to it, climbs its 83 cars out of the siding at Radium, CO, after a meet, and into tunnel 42. The previous crew had to walk this train twice at Dell to fix leaky air hoses, not to mention the 2x1 wasn't breaking any speed records.

El zorzal patirrojo / red-legged thrush (Turdus plumbeus) también conocido como chuá-chuá, zorzal cubano, zorzal de patas coloradas, zorzal de patas rojas o zorzal real, es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia de los túrdidos. Se distribuye ampliamente en algunas islas del Caribe.
Se alimenta mayoritariamente de frutas, pero un tercio de su dieta incluye insectos (orugas, escarabajos, hormigas, grillos, avispas), además de caracoles ocasionales, ranas, lagartijas y los huevos de otras aves
DESCRIPCION:
De 25-28 cm de longitud. 74 g de peso. Un zorzal grande que se distingue por sus pares superiores grisáceas , patas y pico rojizos, anillo ocular rojo , y conspicua punta de cola blanca, su pecho es gris , su garganta es blanca con vetas negras y su vientre y coberteras sub-caudales son blancuzcas. el juvenil es generalmente mas tenue con una garganta gris con puntos negros. Su canto es una melodiosa pero monótona serie de 1-3 sílabas a menudo emitidos en pares, su llamado de alarma es un ruidoso Chua-chua, de donde localmente toma su nombre.
Ocurre en gran variedad de habitats desde áridos bosques de segundo crecimiento a bosque Húmedos , desde el nivel de mar hasta por lo menos los 2440 msnm. es mas numeroso en bosques latifoleados Húmedos donde ocasionalmente puede ser mas abundante.
Forrajea principalmente sobre el suelo buscando invertebrados entre la hojarasca. También como frutas y lagartos . una ave agresiva y conspicua durante el periodo de reproducción pero furtiva el resto del tiempo.
Los huevos son de color Azul verdoso Pálido, muy moteado de marrón. pone entre 2-4 huevos en un nido abultado de hojas forrado de hievas o fibras de guineo y a menudo con algo de lodo. se reproduce entre enero a septiembre pero especialmente entre abril y junio.

The red-legged thrush (Turdus plumbeus) is a species of bird in the Turdidae family. It is found in the Bahamas, Cayman Brac, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico.
This species may be considered the Caribbean counterpart of the American robin, as it has similar habits, including being a common visitor to gardens and lawns.
Its food is mostly fruits, but a third of its diet is animal matter: insects (caterpillars, beetles, ants, crickets, wasps), plus occasional snails, frogs, lizards and birds’ eggs

Not the classiest throne in the realm but still an effective launch pad as the longspur made repeated sorties for flying insects near the entrance to Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
Polished turd! CSXT 4551 leading Q64808 at Pelham,AL. 4551 is one of the new rebuild SD70ACs even though it’s been rebuilt it still junk like they always been it just has cell phone detector and inward facing camera now! which doesn’t make it any better
This panorama was taken from Calton Hill in Edinburgh.
To the right of the panorama is Marriot’s W hotel, which is part of the £1 billion St James Quarter development. The hotel caused anger, and some amusement, due to it's similarity to a "poo emoji" - 💩 - leading to some of the citizens of 'Auld Reekie' to label it "The Golden Turd".
In the center you can see the Scott Monument, dedicated to the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott, and the clock tower of the Balmoral Hotel which, allegedly, is always 3 minutes fast to ensure that people don’t miss their train.
Finally, to the left, there is another more traditional style of building, the monument dedicated to Dugald Stewart, the Scottish philosopher and mathematician.
CSX I015 heads Westbound past the now abandoned Glen Gary Brick plant. The track in the foreground used to be to service the industry, but is now abandoned and cut off the main line.
I015 had two freshly rebuilt SD70MACes, 4578 and 4577. These two MACs are fresh out of the Huntington Rebuild shops, and are on their only 4th day of release, and third train.

A turd and an ACe drop off double stacks at the Lecheria yard while a KCSM Manifest overtakes them.
These are the only cases where I would rather have an ACe leading instead, the 4500's are a complete joke lol

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Beer_Hall:
The Asahi Beer Hall is one of the buildings of the Asahi Breweries headquarters located on the east bank of the Sumida River in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan.
It was designed by French designer Philippe Starck and was completed in 1989. It is considered one of Tokyo's most recognizable modern structures.
The shape of the building is that of a beer glass, designed to complement the neighboring golden beer mug-shaped building housing the Asahi Breweries offices.
The Asahi Flame (Flamme d'Or)
Asahi Breweries headquarters building with the "Asahi Flame" by Philippe Starck (1989)
It is noted for the Asahi Flame, an enormous golden structure at the top, said to represent both the 'burning heart of Asahi beer' and a frothy head. The 360-tonne golden flame was made by shipbuilders using submarine construction techniques. It is empty.
The Asahi Flame is sometimes colloquially referred to as "the golden turd" and the Asahi Beer Hall itself as "poo building".
The 'turd' and company put away chicken feed loads at Pilgrims Pride south of Canton,GA at Univeter on a spring morning. Unfortunately these unit trains from CSX have been discontinued since Pilgrims built a new mill along CSX's K&A Etowah Sub near Fairmount,GA.
Un gran cantor como todos los "Turdidos" y Zorzales. Lo he escuchado cantar a las 3 de la madrugada. Se despierta muy temprano y es el primero en pisar la tierra aun mojada por el rocio de la manana.Se posa de madrudada aun sin haber salido el sol y nos ofrece el mayor de los conciertos perchado en un alto arbol. Luego se lanza a la tierra con un vuelo sumamente rapido musitanto notas que dicen "Chuaaa-Chuaaaa". Un gran forragero en busca de lombrices.Un ave con un personalidad unica y que guarda grandes recuerdos para mi.
En un honor mostrar una de mis aves preferidas posada en un alto pino de la cordillera central. 700 mm , todo mi cimarronaje y una larga espera no son suficientes ante toda la belleza de este zorzal y de nuestra sierra.
Cimarron mayor Panta.
MMRR 2057 sits on the dead engine track in Manistee Yard, there wasn't anything wrong with it other than just not needed but on this day it was sitting in a perfect spot for a a nice roster shot and perfect reflection. 2057 was GR 3839 before this and used to be a fairly solid unit but years of electrical issues and being rigged back together are really starting to show. This unit is now our worst pulling unit and needs a complete rewire or scrapping. The water used to make this possible is in "thanks" to the record water levels that were starting to flood our yard, if the water levels would have kept climbing the yard would have been under water but luckily only minimal flooding went on for a few months before Manistee Lake levels started to drop down.
Outside of a house in my street. I blame the owners, not the dogs. Unfortunately, this sign is necessary.

Location unknown. Almost certainly Illinois or Iowa.
So this was a great weekend. My buddy @tomhill_photography asked me if I felt like ditching Vancouver, as the weather was crappy, and suggested we drive South. How far South? About a 10 hour drive as it happened. After many coffees (and perhaps more than one Jack In The Box stop), we arrived at Trillium Lake. We had time for a couple hours of sleep and then witnessed an amazing sunrise. It was all over pretty quickly.
Since we came all this way, I suggested we at least scope out a couple locations in the Columbia River Gorge for our next visit. We did more than scope… Punchbowl Falls was amazing… even well after the magic hour. The only issue was that Tom found the best composition almost immediately… So, like a turd, I waited until he was done and got in there for my own shots. Sorry Tommy boy, you left me no choice! I’m a lucky guy to get to watch this guy work, but unlucky to have to ride in a car with him after he’s had a few hamburgers ;-).
Anyhow, this is a blend of 3 shots. One for the foreground, one for the trees/rock walls and one final exposure for the bright area above the falls.
O.k, please get ready to fight for a place in line to grab this new gift at my store!
It is my masterpiece i feel!!
