Great Grey Owl. This large owl of the upper northern hemisphere is a perfect example of a raptor that primarily uses hearing to find prey. The huge facial disc on the great grey owl gathers sound like a giant ear, enabling them to hear the scratching and scurrying of lemmings under fallen snow.
My latest tessellation design in my Blocks-tessellation serie and I call this one "Little Blocks". You can see the 3 different phases, either follow the yellow or the blue path, starting on the left.
Folded from 15x15cm, kind of rice paper (very, very tin), grid 1:24
Discovered this pattern independently.
...and liftoff, we have a liftoff! Munich's newest wind turbine is taking off for outer space to generate power from the solar wind... 😁
Sunset behind the new wind turbine on Fröttmaning's other Müllberg, west of the A9 Autobahn.

El trencadís un tipo de mosaico, que se caracteriza por utilizar teselas irregulares, las cuales se obtienen al partir baldosas cerámicas a golpe de martillo. “Trencadís” es un vocablo catalán que significa “quebradizo.”
El trencadís se hizo popular luego de que lo utilizara Antoni Gaudí, arquitecto español para decorar el Parque Güell en Barcelona. Empleó para ello restos de cerámica y restos de vajilla de otras procedencias.
Al trocear las cerámicas en teselas más pequeñas, el trencadís, le permitió a Gaudí revestir las más diversas formas sobre todo las curvas y las ondulaciones, tan usuales en la arquitectura gaudiana.
La cubierta de cerámica, desempeñaba también la función de proteger las obras de albañilería de los agentes atmosféricos.
Un mosaico está realizado con la técnica del “trencadís” si cumple con lo siguiente:
Las teselas son de forma irregular.
Las teselas se articulan a modo de puzzle.
Las teselas poseen aproximadamente las mismas dimensiones.
Las juntas entre teselas deben ser del mismo ancho.
Estas chimeneas recubiertas con trencadís se encuentran en la terraza del palacio Güel, una de las obras maestras de Gaudí.

Floris was put to sleep by the vet. 16 years old. He could not go on like this. He lost a lot of weight and strength and the inflamation of his nose got worser and worser .This was caused by a polyp in the nose against the eye socket that couldnot be operated. The antibiotics didnot work anymore. There was no longer any prospect of improvement.
The inflammation had become very bad. He was on painkillers the last two month.
De dierenarts heeft Floris laten inslapen. Net 16 jaar oud. Zo kon hij niet verder. Hij verloor veel gewicht en kracht en de ontsteking van zijn neus werd erger en erger. Dit werd veroorzaakt door een poliep in de neus tegen de bovenkant van de oogkas aan die niet kon worden geopereerd. De antibiotica werkten niet meer. Er was geen zicht meer op verbetering. De ontsteking was heel erg geworden. Hij gebruikte de afgelopen twee maanden pijnstillers.

Temple of Debod was originally erected 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Aswan[2] in Upper Egypt. In 1960, due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, the temple was donated to Spain and reconstructed in Madrid.
New Zealand is very green at the moment with all the new spring grass, in fact everywhere you look it's green, green, green. At least the sky's are mostly blue :))

A sculpture of 15 wild horses has crowned a barren Central Washington hillside for more nearly two decades, but the rusted sheets of steel still are an inspiring sight to travelers along busy I- 90.
The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes.
Titled "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies," the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.
Sur la route du retour en Europe, cet échassé à préféré faire un escale à Tétouan pour se nourrir et se reposer un peu, alors je ne l'ai pas raté.
The canals of Venice are so busy and congested that the gondoliers must exercise caution when approaching another canal. The crowds in this beautiful city can be overwhelming but here is a romantic and solitary moment.

Captured in February on my way home. Bridge at sundown, crossing the new A4 motorway section, that carves straight through rural Midden Delfland. This part of the A4 was recently completed after five decades of planning, protests and delays.

While looking up windy quotes, this one felt good to me, & when I read who wrote it..I had to laugh, thinking of his version of the quote...soaring through the sky on his motorcycle :)
Huelgoat is popular due to its impressive natural setting among the vestiges of the ancient forest that once covered most of Brittany. It has an area of 10 square kilometres.
The village lies on a lake created between the 16th and 18th centuries to supply water to local silver-lead mines by means of a 3 km (1.9 mi) leat or canal.
Yunnan, Baida terraced rice fields at late afternoon on a perfect overlook. Some moving sunspots over the terraces made nice reflections.

This is what happens doing a long exposition on a cloudy sky at 2000mt OSL. The place looks like Iceland or a similar place but it is Italy, on the Valley of the "Piccolo Sanbernardo". Looks strange enough?
