An abstract view of the arch and cables of the Santiago Calatrava-designed Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas.
The Kinzua Bridge or the Kinzua Viaduct (pron.: /ˈkɪnzuː/[4] or /ˈkɪnzuː.ə/) was a railroad trestle that spanned Kinzua Creek in McKean County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The bridge was 301 feet (92 m) tall and 2,052 feet (625 m) long prior to its collapse in 2003.
The bridge was originally built from iron in 1882 and was billed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", holding the record as the tallest railroad bridge in the world for two years. In 1900 the bridge was dismantled and simultaneously rebuilt out of steel to allow it to accommodate heavier trains

The Bornean sun bear /Helarctos malayanus / honey bear / is the smallest of the world's eight bear species. Sun bears are omnivores , they feed primarily on termites, ants, larvae, honey and a large variety of fruits.
Swallowing a meal for the great egret (Ardea alba) involves flicking its food into the air followed by a gulp.
The two egret images are taken in the same location (a small pond at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge) but on different days. It is possible it is the same bird, but not guaranteed because we have seen as many as 8 great egrets at once in this location.
I went with two images because they tell different parts of the same story. I think I like the "kerplunk" one better because of the fat water droplets frozen in time and the mirror like reflection, but I also do like the action shot "bottoms up". Let me know if you have an opinion!

Von dieser Anhöhe hat man einen schönen Blick in Richtung Süden gen Alpen.
In Real waren die Alpen gut zu erkennen, da dort auch die Sonne schien. Da der Himmel hier ziemlich trübe war, die Sonne aber trotzdem durch schien, hab ich mal eine Belichtungsreihe probiert.
Mit Lightroom zu einem HDR zusammen gefügt und in Photoshop einige störende Elemente entfernt.
Danach den Feinschliff mit ON1 Photo 10.
La Réserve nationale de faune de la Baie de L’Isle-Verte
L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Québec
La Réserve nationale de faune (RNF) de la Baie de l’Isle-Verte constituée de vastes étendues de marais, est située sur la rive sud de l’estuaire moyen du fleuve Saint-Laurent à 30 km au nord-est de la municipalité de Rivière-du-Loup. Ce territoire de 406 ha s’étend sur une bande riveraine de quelques 20 km le long du Saint-Laurent. Créée en 1980 par Environnement Canada, la réserve protège le plus important marais à spartine du Québec méridional, dernier grand vestige de ce type d’habitat vital pour la survie du Canard noir, ce qui lui a aussi valu d’être reconnue comme zone humide d'importance internationale en vertu de la Convention de Ramsar.

Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area
L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Quebec
The Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area (NWA) encompasses a broad expanse of marshland lying on the south shore of the Upper Estuary of the St. Lawrence River 30 km northeast of Rivière-du-Loup. With an area of 406 ha, it covers a riparian strip running some 20 km along the St. Lawrence. Established in 1980 by Environment Canada, its purpose is to protect the largest Spartina marsh in southern Quebec, the last great vestige of this habitat vital to the survival of the American Black Duck, which has led to its being designated a Wetland of International Significance under the Ramsar Convention.

I finally got the time to enjoy a day out in a beautiful autumn landscape. One of the places I visited were Strømsfoss pier, with steamboats as daily in the summertime transport is arranged on the Halden canal. Strømsfoss, Østfold, Norway.

I found this seagull perched on a post leading out to the rougher waters of the area surrounding Venice. There were boats by each home or building there because after all it is only one of two ways to navigate Venice. The other is by walking.

This is a snap taken from the western flank of the coastal path which skirts around Thorney Island. A relatively new discovery for me given that this is barely 10 minutes from where I live! This view is looking towards Emsworth and beyond.
1877, designed by M.C. Beebe; example of "Richardson Romanesque"; dignified arches, brickwork, shingles, finials.
A prosperous establishment of the early 1870's, with an elegant Mansard roof, small tower and iron grillwork. Sign of the growth associated with the construction of the Third Welland Canal (1871-1882). Its neighbour, 325 St. Paul St., is a well maintained example of the same period
Another beautiful morning at Many Glacier with the day's first light caressing The Garden Wall, Grinnell Point and Mt. Wilbur.
The winds were whistling this fine morning. Not often does one gets water droplets on their lens from a lake....but I did this dawn.
A few other sunrise shots from this favorite place in comments.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
... with a dash of autumn.

Blow Fly - Green Bottle (Neomyia cornicing). Saw this tiny fly today at work in Devizes, it had been caught by a spiders web on its leg. this gave me an opportunity to try and get a few shots while it rested in between fruitless attempts of escape, the spider soon won the day and all was over within 5 minutes. RIP tiny fly....Let me also say that the entire time this struggle went on I also struggled within myself....should I, or should I not let it go. Eventually I came to the conclusion that on this particular occasion I wasn't going to act like God, after all, by releasing the fly I could also be killing the spider. Handheld, Olloclip macro @ 21x, Hisy remote, tweaked in 'Photos' on iMac.
