Fascinated by nice homes in small towns. These two homes are close to the heart of Georgetown, but in a car-centric community like this, is there any benefit to having a nice home in a central location? 101 and 103 N Bedford St, Georgetown, DE.
A mixed bag of EMD rainbow pounds through Rondout with CP 282. They may not look pristine, but they aren't GEVOs.

Two mallard ducks isolated from their group break up the horizontal layers created by the light on the gentle waves - Courtenay Estuary at 3:08. So today mid-afternoon is my favourite time of the day - when I get a chance to walk along the estuary. ODC - my favourite time of day.
A hundred or so yards north of Combe Down Tunnel, now visible from some way along the old trackbed once more.
Tree and vegetation removal in progress ...
Trees are being removed where they obstruct the route or risk damage to structures, the principle being followed is generally to remove the minimum number compatible with clearing the way for the Two Tunnels route, and replace the number lost by replanting with native species.
The opportunity has been taken to clear some of the laurel because where it grows it suppresses everything else ...
Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.
Bud Granley and Ross Granley, a father and son duo, fly their aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-55 (smaller red aircraft), and a Yakovlev Yak-18T (larger white and red aircraft) respectively, in the Canadian Arctic Aviation Tour over Whitehorse Yukon. These two Russian built planes are very strong and very aerobatic. The Granleys put them through some incredible manoeuvres, flying both in and out of formation.

Moscow, Russia (Sept. 13, 2020) — An over-the-shoulder view of a person holding two translucent Cybiko wireless handheld computers during the exhibition in the Apple Museum. A bookshelf with Apple literature is visible in the background. One of Cybiko handhelds is out of the focus. PHOTO CREDIT SHOULD READ: Valeriya Golubenko / 30pin.

A close up of two of the wood sculptures of Ron Cowan that were on display at the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity Maine. I provided additional detail in a photo I put on Flickr a few days ago. This and one more show some of the detail.

So the main lake here is the same as in the other pictures, but you can also see another lake in the distance.
At this point we were heading back to the trailhead.

There is 1 place left on the forthcoming tour of Rhodes, Greece. See link for details or contact me...
www.greenwings.co/page/greek-island-odyssey--rhodes--gree...
The island of Rhodes is blessed with more days of sunshine (300 or more) than almost anywhere else in Europe, so its name ‘The Isle of the sun’ is well justified.
The tour will encompass the diverse flora and fauna, culture, cuisine and history of Rhodes. We will stay right in the heart of the medieval old town (a World Heritage Site), in a charming and traditional Greek family hotel.
From our base we will venture out in a comfortable mini-bus to explore the island. There will be chances to see and photograph lots of flora and fauna, including Lesser Fiery Copper, Bee-eater, Golden Oriole, Scarce and European Swallowtail, Oertzen’s Rock Lizard, Rhode’s Dragon, Aegean Meadow Brown, Long-tailed Blue, Large Wall Brown, Dragon Arum, King Ferdinand’s Orchid, the rare and beautiful endemic Rhodes Peony and Fritillary and much more!
The adventure will start on Thursday 26th April and journey’s end will be reached on Thursday 3rd May.
10% of profits will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.

Constructed in Pennsylvania in 1911, the train came to Arizona in 1917 when it was purchased by the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company. It passed through various owners until it reached The Stone Forest Company, which folded in 1993.
It was retired from service in 1966. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places September 14, 1999,
A group of residents, led by Malcomb Mackay, maintained fond memories of the locomotive and raised funds to purchase and restore the relic. It now stands restored next to the Flagstaff AMTRAK station. The locomotive is also attached to a log flatcar. In 1995, the City of Flagstaff purchased Old Two Spot and dedicated it as a monument in 1999.
The name of the train has an unusual origin. The train crew once hung water bags from the cab windows, which wore down the numbers on the side of the train. According to stories, the number 25 on the train became a two, with a worn spot where the five was embossed, hence the name Old Two Spot.
