New location from the rear garden where I have repainted the garden shed. (Despite being fairly new all the heavy rain in the spring was too much for the factory sprayed Sadolin treatment.)
Jaws the fox my main model is getting later in arriving as daylight keeping him away. He still likes the meat rather than the badger & fox nuts which get left until the small hours.

Was just checking some photos I took this year when Isaw the cross on his hat. Didnt realize it while shooting. KREUZ means CROSS in German.
No photoshop. Just dodge and burn in lightroom as usual. #blackandwhite #kreuzberg #berlin #streetphotography
King Cormorants (Phalacrocorax atriceps), also known as the Imperial Shag, interact with courtship behavior at their nesting site on Saunders Island Island in the Falkland Islands.
From the long, long ago archives - I sure miss this bird!

Happy May Day! My first Osprey of the season.
Osprey feed primarily on live fish, which they catch from the water by using their long, hooked talons. An osprey can plunge so forcefully into the water that if will completely submerge! They are a perfect fishing machine with a success rate of around 70%.
You saw the landscape image earlier in the week. Here's the snowy owl photobombing it. Hope you enjoy it for what it is ... just having some creative fun. Shot at the Canadian Raptor Center in Ontario, Canada, October 2017. Harding Ice Field, Alaska, USA, July 2013

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée avec ma femme au départ du Gaschney, en passant successivement par le Lac de Schiessrothried, le Col du Wormspel, le haut de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, une partie du Sentier des Névés, le Col du Wormspel à nouveau, le Hohneck et pour finir le Col de Schaeferthal.
Les paysages grandioses et les magiques couleurs d'automne au soleil ont fait de cette rando une de nos plus belles randos ! ❤️
Comme indiqué dans le titre, cette photo a été prise depuis le flanc droit de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, près du point le plus haut.
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir quelques beaux rochers de cette crête rocheuse et sauvage, prisée des alpinistes et amateurs de sensations fortes. D'ailleurs, à droite des rochers de gauche, on aperçoit légèrement le casque d'un alpiniste et le corps d'un autre.
En bas à droite, on peut voir la pente abrupte plonger vers la Combe d'Ammelthal et ses belles couleurs d'automne.
Quand j'étais sur cette forte pente, j'étais subjugué la sauvagerie du décor mais je n'étais pas à l'aise car je suis légèrement sujet au vertige et qu'il y avait du vent. J'étais particulièrement mal à l'aise quand je prenais des photos. 😉
Dans la pente, on peut voir quelques arbustes déjà complètement dénudés le 13 octobre. Il y en avait beaucoup plus sur le flanc gauche, du côté du Lac de Schiessrothried.
2.5 Seconds series - climate change awareness project

The world is getting warmer. Since the Industrial Revolution, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 0.9 degrees Celsius and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the warmest years on record taking place since 2010. 2016 and 2019 were the warmest years on record.
Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action.
It is causing a set of changes and complex shifts to the Earth's which climate scientists call “climate change”. Volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation from sunspots have contributed only about two percent to the recent warming effect. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors.
The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it’s changing the climate faster than some living things can adapt to. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate poses unique challenges to all life. A one-degree global change is significant. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age.
Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet.

Happy Easter Monday to all our followers, commenters, admirers, and survivors! We will continue to post images on Bank Holidays while the Covid-19 crisis continues. For today, we have a remarkable image of Main Street in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan with the hill rising away from us, and a crowd of men(?) gathered about half way down! What was the occasion?
+++ UPDATE +++
Much happy speculation as to the occasion, but nothing definite that we could hang our Sunday Best hats on. However, we did narrow the date. Our Lawrence photo collection dates between 1865 and 1914. As you’ve all managed from dating various buildings to narrow the date to 1909-1922, for our purposes, that means this photograph was taken between 1909 and 1914. Thank you, one and all!
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Circa 1909-1914, but likely 1901 -1902

I think this has to be one of my favourite locations that we visited on the recent trip to Skye, tucked out of the way and out of sight from pretty much everywhere lies this charachterful old ruin, surrounded by lots of equally interesting limestone pavement.
The weather had been (as often is the case on Skye) extremely changeable with squalls of snow, rain, sleet, and hailstones occuring very frequently, however the light on this day had to be seen to be beleived, gorgeous warm breaks lighting up the landscape and really transforming the scene from drab and flat to a real golden beauty in a matter of seconds.
It was just a case of setting up, waiting, getting wet, and being ready for when the light washed over this beautful part of the landscape, truly a day to remember.
=================================================
Lots more images from this shoot, and others, on my website here - updating regularly

The caption states "Flooded Street" but it's not flooded, just very wet! What is remarkable is the stream of cars coming down the street in Glenties. What was going on? Was it a funeral or were the politicians in town?

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
