(Second of 2) This Doxocopa laurentia, Turquoise Emperor, was on rocks and gravel along the river. The blue colore was quite changeable depending on the viewing angle.

Honey Fungus - Armillaria mellea
This variety of Honey Fungus is the most feared as it is responsible for the death of many a tree or shrub, whether it be garden or woodland.
Habitat....in dense clusters on or around trunks or stumps of deciduous and coniferous trees and Hazel. Season summer to early winter.
I found this trio in the grounds of Ilam Hall. The picturesque English village of Ilam (eye-lamb) nestles beside the River Manifold in the Staffordshire Peak District among spectacular hills.

Gehry-Bauten Düsseldorf
Das Kunst- und Medienzentrum Rheinhafen von Frank O. Gehry (USA) gliedert sich in drei kontrastreich gestaltete Gebäudeteile und wirkt wie eine riesige Skulptur. Durch die Auswahl unterschiedlicher Materialien erhält jeder Gebäudekomplex eine eigene Identität.
Als Verbindung zwischen den drei Häusern wird das Material der Fassade des mittleren Baukörpers so gewählt, dass sich die Häuser auf der nördlichen und
südlichen Seite darin spiegeln können.
Die Gehry-Bauten gelten als neues Düsseldorfer Wahrzeichen.

It was the rolls of film from this day that made me realize I had a hole in my shutter curtain. The light leak in the top right hand corner was on all my shots. Sure enough when I opened the back of the camera there was a small hole in the curtain.
This is the part of the story where I praise the internet! Typing into google, "how to fix a hole in the shutter curtain on a film camera" provided the solution. I never knew that there was such a thing as liquid electrical tape, did you?!? but sure enough a couple of dabs of this stuff over the hole, and it's gone.. I still need to run a roll through to see the results - but I can't see any light coming through it anymore!
SO thankful!!

Shot in a huge warehouse (my son's little room, of course ☺; minimal environment with Ps).
A tribute to these instants, tenths when we receive so much information (visual, ...) and the rest of the world is missing. It's an abstract moment, in all senses. It may last only a split second, two, or more. The first impression, together with our intuition, "helps" us to form an advanced idea about people we did not know.

Driving back home from a sunrise shoot at Hadrian's Wall we passed a freshly harvested field, I just had to stop and take a quick shot.

While visiting my brother in Los Angeles, we stopped by the airport to maybe photograph the planes coming in at sunset, but the light wasn't good for it. We then went to the beach just to hang out. His daughter Jenna ran ahead and jumped up on a lifeguard station to watch the sunset. I didn't have my tripod, so I cranked up the ISO and shot this candid hand held. Used photoshop later to clean up the noise. Los Angeles, California, USA, June 2015

The Pacific Dogwood is my favorite flowering tree. This was taken earlier this year at the Washington Park Arboretum with an updated processing in Analog Efex Pro and Flypaper texture applied in post.

La imagen capta el efímero momento en que un mosquitero común (Phylloscopus collybita) acerca su pico al agua para coger un invertebrado. Una imagen captada a una milésimas de segundo (1/1.000) que es imperceptible para el ojo humano y que yo he podido plasmar gracias a la tecnología digital.
Corresponde a mi primera sesión de fotografía de aves de este año 2015.

This night photograph of Rio de Janeiro was taken from the Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar) during a memorable visit to Brazil in 2015. It was an amazing sight after sunset when the lights in buildings and along the beaches were progressively lit. The famous Copacabana Beach can be seen at upper left of the photograph.
This photo is from my trip to Bryce Canyon. It is continue my serious of night sky photos from National Parks. Bryce Canyon night sky is really very dark – you can see it from photo where the starry sky has natural green color – result of airglow.
This is panorama of 7 shots; it is done in Sunset Point – Milky Way over Hoodoos. Duration of one shot was 30 seconds, Camera – Canon 60Da, Wide Angle EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens, F/3.5; ISO 6400.

Six cubs, four female and two male, were born to mother Addison and sire Duke on November 15, 2015 at the off-exhibit Cheetah Breeding Center at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. This is Addison's second litter, and the largest litter to be born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Photo by keeper Jillian King
Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.
I felt this was an appropriate image to share on this glorious, sun-filled Sunday. What a creation these eagles are with their combination of strength and beauty...as if they were hand painted by HIS hands. God, thank you for the American Bald Eagle.
While getting ready for my trip to Austria in order to get some more cool landscape pictures from the Alps I decided to precess dome action shots I did last time there while trying to get on the Snowboard and taking shots of my friends. I do like the result :-) So this is Johannes. The post processing was done with Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 and the pictures where taken with my Sony.

This 1928 Chinese restaurant was a Portland icon for years. Even though it closed down in 2015 they decided to leave the sign up. Probably because the name has a humorous double meaning and, over the years, everyone just had to take a selfie with it. Yep! People were taking selfies with the sign back before it was called a "selfie".
I posted a 2011 version I took of the sign in the comments below. This version is now one of the pictures used on the restaurants Wikipedia page.
