and seven Alpine Chamois. They have to be prepared for the winter. This image, taken in the beautiful Zillertal in Austria, gives a first hint on the cold season which is approaching soon.
The blue Peacock (pavo cristatus) is a species of bird in the family of Phasianidae (Phasianidae). It belongs to the order of Galliformes and the pheasant and the House chicken is one of the best known representatives of this bird group is.
Due to its striking appearance, especially the males are considered the oldest ornamental birds in the people. In the legends of ancient Greece they were mentioned. As site-loyal birds, the animals originally in India and Sri Lanka are held today around the world as pets.

A puddle's eye view or rather iPhone's eye view of Skogafoss ... It is hard to get an original composition at this famous waterfall, so I was glad to find the puddle and thankful to the strangers who walked into my composition ... it was not an easy shot to take with the overwhelming spray so close to the falls, it was hard to 'see' what I was composing ... (do look at it large if you have a moment)
In winter, the rice terraces are free from plants, so that the light often reflected in various colors of the sky. When we arrived at the viewpoint pulled fog over the rice fields, but towards the afternoon (as in the picture) the fog lifted .
I think it is a hard work to plant all this fields with rice. With machines may not be working there. The non- water-filled terraces are usually planted with potatoes .
Im Winter sind die Reisterrassen frei von Pflanzen, so dass sich das Licht oft in verschiedenen Farben des Himmels spiegelt. Als wir am Aussichtspunkt ankamen zog Nebel über die Reisfelder, der sich aber zum Nachmittag hin (wie auf dem Bild) lichtete.
Ich denke, es ist ein hartes Stück Arbeit, die vielen Felder mit Reis zu bepflanzen. Mit Maschinen geht dort überhaupt nichts. Die nicht mit Wasser gefüllten Terrassen werden meist mit Kartoffeln bepflanzt.

Here is the classic vertical version of the so-called Second Wave in the Vermilon Cliffs / Northern Arizona. I can not decide which version looks better.

The Willow tree growing in Lake Wanaka might be one of the most photographed trees in the world.
This wasn't the shot I'd originally planned, but it was the best I could get with large crowds gathering closely around it well before dawn.
I decided to try for a different composition from further down the beach, using my telephoto lens to include the mountains to the north instead of those to the east most people aim for.
Magnolia blossom taken in Kensington Gardens London. Have a lovely Thursday everyone! I am having all sorts of problems with Flickr so I will not be putting this into many groups. I can comment on your photos on my phone!
Los urros de Liencres son unos islotes situados frente a la costa de Liencres, cerca de la desembocadura del río Pas (municipio de Piélagos, Cantabria, España).
Forman una alineación de rocas que dejan estrechos canales entre ellas y la costa y entre los islotes mismos. Su valor paisajístico está altamente considerado.
Desde la playa de La Arnia en Liencres, se puede acceder por un pequeño camino, dejando la costa a la derecha, a un precioso mirador de Costa Quebrada, desde el que se pueden divisar.
Los Urros, caprichosas formas de las rocas que hacen de este lugar un acantilado distinto a los demás.
The river is still in spate after all the rain we have had here in Scotland and is strewn with trees and other debris that has been washed away. I clambered out into the water to get this shot as it was the only way I could get an angle on the water falling over the rocks with the mountains in the background.

Appelés en Thaïlande des " Ruea Hang Yao " les bateaux à longue queue sont légers et sur-motorisés. Ils tiennent leur nom curieux de la longueur de leur hélice.
Known in Thailand as "Ruea Hang Yao", the long-tail boats are light and overpowered. They get their curious name from the length of their propeller.

It is a former estate garden featuring annuals, roses and wildflowers and an extensive rockery. It is located on Wilket Creek, one of the tributaries of the Don River West Branch. The estate's title was once held by Alexander Milne, a Scottish weaver who settled here after the War of 1812 and left in 1832. The land and the woolen/saw mills was obtained by Rupert E. Edwards in 1944 and created his country home. Edwards home was left in neglect and was purchased by the Municipality of Metro Toronto in 1955 and became Edwards Gardens in 1956.
The building was originally owned by Thomas Lappin, who had previously owned another building on the same spot. Over the years, tenants of the building included what would become Northwestern Mutual. Several other tenants, including grocers, banks, attorneys and physicians, occupied it. In 1899, it was purchased by Dennis and Michael Hayes.
The Historic Hayes Block, originally constructed in 1855, is the focal point of the Main and Milwaukee Street intersection in the heart of Janesville’s downtown.
Today the Hayes Block is home to an assortment of professional offices, including legal, financial, and personal service firms, and governmental agencies. The first floor remains primarilly retail.
Gracias a todos por vuestra visita, amables comentarios y fav/ Thank you all for your visit, kind comments and fav.
I've driven through this junction hundreds of times and often wondered what this shot would look like. When I saw snow on the ground I knew that would give extra contrast so I parked up and went up onto a foot bridge to tkae the shot. I could not get a full sequence of the traffic lights in one exposure so this is 4 shots stacked in photoshop.
Blustery weather over the late summer 'Machair' at the Luskentyre estuary on the west coast of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland. The dune grass was still rich with wild flowers even this late in August.

To travel to the remote Kimberly region of north west Australia, one of the worlds last frontiers, is a true adventure. This is a reflective shot I took from a zodiac meandering through the mangroves in late fall (southern hemisphere). The rock formations in the Kimberly were deposited up to 1.75 billion years ago by major river systems that flowed from north to south across the whole region.
