Part two of the whimbrel squabble over a sand crab. The indignant one on the left is the one that originally dug up the crab from the sand and the one doing the snatching is the interloper.
Thanks for viewing! I so appreciate you taking the time to visit and comment!

This lakeside park makes me think of that Rush song. Are there any other Rush fans out there? Surely there must be amongst our Canadian friends. Saw them on their R40 tour in Denver of all places in 2015. Lifelong dream achieved. Anyway, I digress. Park + lake + sunset + bench = peace and relaxation.
Happy nearly Friday :)

Happy mid-Winter Solstice to all!!!!
The unchanging exterior of Woodchester Mansion (nr. Stroud), a 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873. Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world. This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed. The carvings in Woodchester Mansion are among the finest of their kind in the World.
A wonderful place to visit as you can see quite clearly in places how it was built.....a stunning and unusual building indeed!!
There are also many ghostly stories as you would expect from a building as unusual as this......some can be read below in the first link.
And if you fancy a ghost hunt then the second link will take you to the other side!!!

Die sehr langschwänzige, oberseits graue und unterseits intensiv gelbe Stelze besiedelt schnell fließende, meist bewaldete Gewässer und ernährt sich vorwiegend von Insekten und deren Larven.
Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, was für eine wunderbare Vogelwelt die Rur (ohne h) zeigt. Wasseramseln, Gebirgsstelzen, Gänsesäger, Eisvogel, alles Arten, die man dort regelmäßig sehen kann.
"Just like an eagle
I will dare to go even
beyond the sky even if it is the limit
But wait will the sky allow me beyond it
or will it say i am the limit......."

En ocasiones tenemos una idea preconcebida de una imagen, cierta composición que nos atrae, y esperamos que se produzca algo especial, pasan los días pero no obtenemos los resultados que esperábamos, derrepente un día ocurre eso que estábamos esperando y se produce tan rápidamente que o estamos preparados con todo dispuesto o se nos escapa, este es uno de esos procesos la luz comenzó a envolver los árboles de la zona izquierda de la composición otorgándoles un colorido para mi muy especial, pero el sol sólo permitió hacer apenas unas cuantas fotos en menos de 5 minutos este efecto ya se había evaporado y por suerte conseguí plasmarlo con bastante acierto en esta fotografia, espero les guste.
Muchas gracias a todos
Thanks so much!!

A.k.a. Night light snakes or in other words light trails. :-D Image taken along Siel-Einsteigehäuschen from atop the Elbpromade in Hamburg.
Shot this for the abstract theme for a local photography group. I was off yesterday so I thought I'd screw around heehee! Have a nice day everyone! :o)
Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark in the center of Grant Park. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan. It operates from April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows. During the winter, the fountain is decorated with festival lights.
Torneträsk or Torne träsk is a lake in Kiruna Municipality, Lapland, Norrbotten County in Sweden, in the Scandinavian mountain range. Träsk is the local word for lake (in Standard Swedish it means "swamp"). It is the sixth largest lake in Sweden, with a total area of 330 square kilometres and a length of 70 kilometres. The lake drains to the south-east through Torne älv. South-west of the lake lie the Abisko National Park and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponian area.
Torneträsk originated from the remnant of a glacier, which has given the lake its depth of 168 metres, making it the second deepest lake in Sweden. It is usually ice-covered from December through June, with variations dependent on temperature variations.
Ova da Morteratsch
The Morteratsch Glacier (romansh: Vadret da Morteratsch) is the largest glacier by area in the Bernina Range of the Bündner Alps in Switzerland.
It is, just after the Pasterze Glacier and Gepatschferner, the third largest and by volume (1.2 km3) the most massive glacier in the eastern alps. The Morteratsch Glacier is a typical valley glacier with a pronounced ice front. The accumulation zone lies between the peaks of Piz Morteratsch, Piz Bernina, Crast' Agüzza, Piz Argient, Piz Zupò and Bellavista. From Piz Argient to the ice front in the Val Morteratsch, its horizontal extent is about ~7 km (4.3 mi), with an altitude difference of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft). Together with the Pers Glacier, originating at Piz Palü, which joins the Morteratsch just below the rock formation Isla Persa ("Lost Isle"), it covers an area of about 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi). The volume of the ice is estimated to be about 1.2 km3. The Morteratsch Glacier drains through Inn River and Danube into the Black Sea.
