Workmen had been working on an area beyond this point causing a lot of muddy water to flow through to here.

EN: Behind the scenes of the UNESCO World Heritage site, stonemasons work to preserve the medieval walls of Carcassonne. Centuries after they were first raised, the stones still require human hands to endure FR: Dans les coulisses du site inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, des tailleurs de pierre entretiennent les murailles médiévales de Carcassonne.

The workmen have attached the first couple of wagons to the rope and they are about to begin the ascent to Sheep Pasture on June 30 1966. I suspect this scene, apart from the weeds, had not changed much in many years. The buildings on the right used to contain an old length of rail marked C&HPR which was always shown to interested visitors. This one of many colour shots of the Cromford line in my book on the Cromford and High Peak Railway and has been cleaned by Chris Nicholson.
Workmen shovel in the falling snow amidst the steaming 'gloop' from one of the the conveyor outfalls of the Beichang Washery at Chengzihe near Jixi, as the their working ponies wait patiently whilst the carts are loaded up. Nothing went to waste in north east China in the depths of winter and the 'gloop' waste was a highly sought after commodity by occupants of the traditional chinese "hutong" dwellings for both warmth and fuel for cooking. I should add that the workmen (and ponies) were extremely cooperative with me when taking this photograph, and welcomed interest in their activities.

A reflection of workmen working on the Second City Crossing tram track on Corporation street, Manchester England. The reflection is off the Glass Bridge over Corporation Street.
I wondered what they were doing but after checking out the name on their truck, it seems like they're inspecting electric poles.

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland. I saw these workmen struggling to replace a toppled bench into its foundations and all I could think of was a rugby scrum - though I am pleased to see that there is no sign of a 'builder's bum' anywhere! Just a little bit of 'Fun for Friday', have a great weekend everyone!

Luckily, the weather forecast for the day before yesterday, 11 June 2021, was good, as I just had to escape from the banging and drilling noise that is created by the workmen still repairing my building. On top of that, there was additional banging and drilling as a different repair company came to my neighbours' homes to start repairs on ceiling damage caused by a leaking dishwasher. Most unfortunate for both families! Walls are thin enough that noise from one home is heard in others. Anyway, I had a great day out, quiet and rewarding. Sunny, but the wind increased as the day went on and the further south I travelled. A total of 254 km driven this day.
All the roads were ones that I had driven before, apart from one short back road. Bird sightings made for a great day, even though they were all familiar species. A Red-winged Blackbird - surprise, surprise! - was the first bird to be seen, followed by three Wilson's Snipe, all perched on fence posts.
A Bobolink was one of the highlights of the day for me. Perched on a fence post, singing its little heart out, it gave me a chance to take a short video. Of course, the bird would have to land on a fence post (seen in the video) that had rather annoying, long blades of grass across its face, ha. I didn't want to restart my car and reverse to get a slightly better view, in case the bird flew. Hearing their song is such a delight. After looking at many Bobolink photos on Google, I think the beak of the bird I photographed must have some kind of deformity on the lower mandible. If that is the case, then I suspect this bird is the same individual that I photographed last year, at exactly the same place.
Before heading further south, I caught sight of a very distant bird of prey, perched on a fence post. I will need help to identify what kind it was. After quite a drive, I almost missed two Swainson's Hawks that were on fence posts, with a couple of bare posts in between them. Unable to stop in time, I cautiously reversed, expecting that both would fly off. Luckily, they both stayed and I was able to get a few photos - such beautiful birds. Came across a pair of Mountain Bluebirds along the same road.
Of course, seeing a few favourite silos and a barn or two makes any day special. By the time, I reached the silos, though, the wind had picked up and it was all I could do to take a few quick shots. A few photos were taken from the road, looking down on the Bar U Ranch. Later in the summer, I will hopefully visit the whole ranch again.
Heading eastwards, I returned to the city via the south-east. Eastern and Western Kingbirds, plus a few 'regulars', added to the enjoyment of the day.
