Ruby-throated Hummingbird, young male
In my yard, hummingbird activity is at its peak around now, as adults and young prepare to migrate.
Storefront of the Kranhaus ("crane house"), a 17-story buildings in the Rheinauhafen of Cologne/Germany. Its shape, an upside-down "L", is reminiscent of the harbor cranes that were used to load cargo off and on to ships. The building is approx. 62 meters in height and is designed by Aachen architect Alfons Linster and Hamburg-based Hadi Teherani of BRT Architekten. (see Wikipedia)
Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.

BLOL 7591 (ex NP GP9) & BLOL 7504 (original IC GP9, now a GP10) loading grain cars for the CN up in Charolette, IL. This was back in 2017 when it seemed to be easier to catch matching set of Bloomer power & catch bigger trains. Still to this day, I love shooting these guys.

Margaret Falls from the bridge right in front. I decided to best illustrate the thunderous sensation of the falls by getting up close. This is glacier fed runoff, freezing cold, and pounding down in a torrent.
A bridleway running up onto Roundway Down from Bishops Cannings in Wiltshire. Although it's strangely hard to tell here if it's going up or down with those converging parallels.

Some climbers ascending the rock at Hay Tor, situated in Devon's Dartmoor.
Idetordoune (1566), Ittor Doune (1687), Idetor (1737), Eator Down (1762) and Itterdown (1789) are a few recorded examples of earlier names by which Haytor was known. The name Haytor is of comparatively recent origin, and is probably a corruption of its old name and that of the Haytor Hundred, which covered the coastal area between the River Teign and River Dart, itself now considered to have been named after a lost village located somewhere between Totnes and Newton Abbot.
In the 19th century steps were made to allow pedestrians up to the top of the tor and a metal handrail fixed to allow tourists easier access to the summit. This was not entirely welcomed and in 1851, a Dr Croker complained about the rock steps that had been cut "to enable the enervated and pinguedinous scions of humanity of this wonderful nineteenth century to gain the summit". The handrail was removed in the 1960s due to it rusting: the stumps of the uprights are still embedded in the rock
One more architectural pic....this was when I looked up while having dinner in the Sky World Entertainment Centre in Auckland.
I wonder if he grew up to be a big one....

A monochrome image featuring a row of bicycles parked at a rental station. There are about 30 stations with 200 bikes to rent in the greater Des Moines metro area, but at a brisk 20°F this morning, the demand is very low. All the bikes are here, all lined up. This rental station was photographed at E Grand Avenue and Robert D Ray Drive in downtown Des Moines, Iowa.
