Pileated Woodpecker - Dryocopus pileatus
This male Pileated Woodpecker used to attack every car mirror in the parking lot at Mead Gardens during breeding season every spring. He would see the reflection of a perceived rival and try to drive it out of his territory. We always had to check our side view mirrors before leaving the park.

Happy Easter, everyone.
This dragonfly was seen this autumn at Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, USA. I like its blue - green eyes.
These vertical crops show a lot more detail in large size.

Happy 57th Birthday, Malaysia!
Please enjoy another aerial view of the metropolis that we know as Kuala Lumpur!
In the lower right of the image, you can see the curvature of the River Klang. A major highway flanks both sides of the Klang, where it will eventually meet its tributary, the River Gombak. The meeting of these two rivers is the foundation that gives Kuala Lumpur its name (“Muddy Confluence” in English).
I wish I had had more time to explore, but the memories and experiences were and continue to be unforgettable. In my most recent blog entry, I describe my encounter with the Malaysian military and the full experience of my aerial photography flight with the pilot who initially refused to land the plane upon my request. If you’re interested, the article is called, “A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur”.
Silakan! Jumpa lagi! / Enjoy! See you soon!

L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος "akros", alto, πὸλις "polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
Nella Grecia antica indicava quella parte della città che veniva costruita per ragioni difensive sulla sommità di un'altura e spesso cinta da mura. Iniziata a diffondersi nell'età del bronzo, la "parte alta" delle città greche, come Atene, in età micenea era il luogo di residenza del re, ma col tempo divenne il centro religioso dell'abitato, sede di templi e luoghi di riunione.
A bit of a left-right tile flip image with some alternate art on display. Thanks Isabel (www.flickr.com/photos/mareziapics/14242286627/) for your look into Lisbon!! As seen in the American Art Museum, Washington, D.C. (well sorta, at least the right half of the image). Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer weekend!

Industrial bin after loading with building rubble hanging at chains seen against deep blue clear sky
On my way home from work I saw this container hanging at a construction crane in the air. I already wanted to leave the construction area behind me. Then I turned round and went back, thought this might be a nice shot ;-).
---------------------------------------------
I'm still here but I have not so much time to upload. Hope you are all well. Wish you all a nice weekend and a happy summer :) !
By the way ... one week ago I reached 15 Mio views ... many thanks to all my visitors and flickr friends!!

One of the twins getting a little exercise running about. In general, this is the view I get of the babies. On this occasion, they were doing laps in the front yard. This one came out of the grass and almost ran into me!!!! A split second later and back into the grass! I will say we've been enjoying the "new" front yard.
We see : Arch of Septimius Severus, Colonna di Foca, Palazzo Senatorio, Chiesa dei Santi Luca e Martina and Curia Julia

Please enjoy an image of the dazzling skyline of Sydney captured from my walk across the Harbour Bridge. It would appear that I cannot shake the fog in many of the cities I photograph as of recent years (i.e. Seattle, LA, etc). Nevertheless, even with the blanket of mist lurking overhead, Sydney was alive and bursting with activity below.
In the foreground is The Rocks, the historical settlement that would eventually expand into our city of Sydney. In the center left is Circular Quay, from which you can take ferries to Manly Beach, Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbour, or to any number of destinations. I would opine that it would take extremely creative efforts to avoid Circular Quay for any mode of transportation in Sydney. It is the central hub and battery that keeps the city connected.
A very special thanks to Richard (a.k.a. EXOGRAMS) and his wife for meeting me on that very humid evening along the shores of Sydney Harbour, after which several hours of night photography and entertaining stories were shared. (Congrats again on the monumental achievement of earning your doctorate degree, my friend)!
Have a terrific weekend (and a Happy 4th of July for my fellow contacts in the States)!

● Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un ensemble architectural situé à Nantes, constitué d’un rempart du xve siècle et d’édifices divers bâtis du xive au xviiie siècle, classé monument historique depuis 1840.
● Après avoir été résidence ducale sous le duc François II et la duchesse Anne, le château est devenu une forteresse royale, siège du gouverneur de Nantes et prison royale, puis caserne à partir du xviiie siècle.
● Devenu propriété de la ville de Nantes en 1915, le château est affecté à un usage touristique et muséal depuis 1924, notamment sous la direction de Joseph Stany-Gautier, conservateur jusqu’en 1969. De 1990 à 2007, le château a bénéficié d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et est depuis le siège d’un nouveau musée consacré à l’histoire de Nantes.
● Conçu comme une forteresse dans le contexte de lutte pour l'indépendance du duché de Bretagne, le système défensif du château est composé de sept tours reliées par des courtines et un chemin de ronde. Sur cour, un ensemble de bâtiments résidentiels construits en pierre de tuffeau contrastent par leur blancheur et leur raffinement sculpté avec les murailles extérieures.

●______________________________________
● The Château des ducs de Bretagne (English: Castle of the Dukes of Brittany) is a large castle located in the city of Nantes in the Loire-Atlantique département of France; it served as the centre of the historical province of Brittany until its separation in 1941. It is located on the right bank of the Loire, which formerly fed its ditches. It was the residence of the Dukes of Brittany between the 13th and 16th centuries, subsequently becoming the Breton residence of the French Monarchy.
● The castle has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1862. Today the castle houses the Nantes History Museum.
● Starting in the 1990s, the town of Nantes undertook a massive programme of restoration and repairs to return the site to its former glory as an emblem of the history of Nantes and Brittany. Following 15 years of works and three years of closure to the public, it was reopened on 9 February 2007 and is now a popular tourist attraction.
● The restored edifice now includes the new Nantes History Museum, installed in 32 of the castle rooms. The museum presents more than 850 objects of collection with the aid of multimedia devices. The castle and the museum try to offer a modern vision of the heritage by presenting the past, the present and the future of the city. Night-time illuminations at the castle further reinforce the revival of the site.
● The 500-metre round walk on the fortified ramparts provides views not just of the castle buildings and courtyards but also of the town.
One of about 60 Swallow-tailed Kites that I saw one day last spring. They were feeding over some open fields along the Hernando County and Pasco County border in Central Florida, USA last May. It was a once in a lifetime experience seeing all of these graceful birds flying so close by.

Kinvara Docks overlooking Dunguaire Castle, County Galway, Ireland
"If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay"
This image reminds me on why I love landscape/seascape photography so much and why I dedicate so much time, effort and money into it..... Because these moments are worth everything to me!
