GAMBIA TOUR feb. 2020
====================
U.K WADERS SEEN IN THE GAMBIA
================================
4th In the series, a real beauty, you can approach these birds much more than in the U.K, but you may not want to with this one, because that sludge is sewage, found at the local treatment plant, as do many other birds.
=======================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, it means such a lot. Am hoping the Government will allow nature reserves and parks to open soon, as I think this would still be safe, maybe keep the hides and information buildings locked up.
Stay strong and safe my friends, you are in my prayers.............
God bless...................................Tomx

The district road R2 from Langenerling to Moosham was upgraded at the end of the 1990s. At that time, the district of Regensburg purchased a 10 m wide strip. This was unique at the time and allowed a row of trees to be planted in the area, which was poor in trees. Thus, a total of 96 winter lime trees were planted on the approx. 2 km long section. This row of lime trees can be seen from far away.
Die Kreisstraße R2 von Langenerling nach Moosham wurde Ende der 1990er Jahre ausgebaut. Der Landkreis Regensburg arwarb damals einen rd. 10 m breiten Streifen. Dies war damals einzigartig und erlaubte, in der baumarmen Flur eine Baumreihe zu setzen. So wurden auf dem ca. 2 km langen Streckenabschnitt insgesamt 96 Winterlinden gepflanzt. Diese Lindenreihe ist schon von weitem zu sehen.

The sky was on fire and I was allowed to witness - a truly spectacular show.
It took so long that I had time to take a series of portrait shots. I later merged them into a panorama in GIMP.
I wish a great weekend to everyone.
Der Himmel stand in Flammen und ich durfte Zeuge sein - ein wahrlich spektakuläres Schauspiel.
Es dauerte so lange, dass ich Zeit hatte eine Reihe von hochkant Aufnahmen zu machen.
Später fügte ich Sie in GIMP zu einem Panorama zusammen.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende.

Tulips in the yard in the rain... That's what I can capture now ;)) Not allowed to travel, stuck indoor most of time, wandering in the rural area for couple of hours on the weekend for nothing... But the yard work was paid off, here was one :)) It was very hard work, from fingers tips to the hands, arms, legs... everywhere hurt due to the face facing the loess and back to the sky for a long time ... :))
This lighthouse is 160 years old and was one of the first lighthouses on the California coast. It is active and continuously occupied by a keeper. The lighthouse sits on a tiny island connected to the coast by a land bridge that is only passable at low tide.
This was the first time I arrived at the right time (low tide) and could wander around the island and it was really very nice! However, no dogs are allowed and Blanca had to wait in the car. You can see a woman on the left sneaking a photograph of me!

Shot at Courtenay BC. Vancouver Island. At first glance this mountain looks beautiful. but look closer and you see the scars of clear cutting that the logging companies have unfortunately been allowed to continue with.

Colourful tealights which are much too beautiful to be lit. I keep telling my friends "don't give me beautiful candles" ! But they often do ....

Hard to image that using a tripod to take a photo of this fountain would be a problem, but yes it was... I was told I could not use it by a security gaurd because it was on private property. Oh well... I just walked out into the street (no traffic whatsoever) and took the photo from there!

Only Red Deer stags have antlers, which start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter. A soft covering known as velvet helps to protect newly forming antlers in the spring.

After a short pause, I find my courage and allow my mind to venture further within this vision like some drunken bee. Or am I floating about like a ghost? A whisper on the breeze catches my ear. A voice? Focusing on the ledge of a single petal, I find an anchor. I must catch my bearings. Why is my vision fogged? For some odd reason, the smell is becoming a bit more pleasant. My stomach is no longer hurling in knots. Ahead of me, the warm glow feels quite inviting. From out of the light, loom long giant arms. As I peer closer they appear to beckon me forward? The effect of the breeze or something else? "Come to me..." Now, I am hearing voices. It must have been the wind. I must move forward.
Continuing the adventure into nature. I will be catching up this weekend and look forward to being back. Happy Friday my Flickr friends!
After several months of 'Lock Down' due to the pandemic, the normally manicured lawn in our local churchyard, was neglected and that allowed the grass to grow long. With the flowers left by people, its morphed into an exotic meadow. It was truly wonderful.
These aqueducts, built in a spiral to allow aeration of the water, were built 2000 years ago and are still in active use today

Un inverno molto freddo quello del 2012 che mi permise di scattare foto a diversi passeriformi venuti a mangiare fino al livello del mare nelle poche zone libere dalla neve. Scatto effettuato da dentro la mia auto con bean bag e dopo che avevamo preparato la zona con abbondanti manciate di granaglie e semi. Abruzzo
Reed Bunting. A very cold winter that of 2012 that allowed me to take pictures of different passerines come to eat up to sea level in the few areas free from snow. Shot taken from inside my car with bean bag and after that we had prepared the area with abundant handfuls of grains and seeds. Abruzzo

Norwegen / Norway - Tromsö / Tromsø
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troms%C3%B8
Tromsø ist mit 76.649 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Januar 2019) die achtgrößte Stadt Norwegens und die größte Stadt im Norden des Landes. Die Provinzverwaltung der Fylke Troms og Finnmark hat hier ebenso ihren Sitz wie der Arktische Rat.[2]
Der wichtigste Arbeitgeber ist das Universitätsklinikum in Nord-Norwegen (UNN) mit etwa 4.500 Angestellten. In Tromsø befinden sich eine Universität, die Norwegische Fischereihochschule, das Klima- und Umweltforschungszentrum Framsenteret und die Mack-Brauerei.
Geographie
Tromsø liegt 344 km Luftlinie nördlich des Polarkreises. Dies entspricht der geographischen Breite von Nord-Alaska. Tromsø beheimatet nicht nur die nördlichste Universität, sondern auch die nördlichste Kathedrale der Welt.
Tromsø ist mit einem administrativen Stadtgebiet von 2.558 km² (davon 1.434 km² auf dem Festland und 1.124 km² auf mehreren Inseln vor der Küste) die flächengrößte Stadt Norwegens.
Die Universität, der Flughafen und das Zentrum befinden sich auf der Insel Tromsøya. Zudem machen Schiffe auf der Hurtigruten im Hafen von Tromsø (UN/LOCODE NO TOS) Station.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troms%C3%B8
Tromsø is a municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the city of Tromsø.
Tromsø lies in Northern Norway. The 2,521-square-kilometre (973 sq mi) municipality is the 18th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Tromsø is the 9th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 71,590 (2014). The municipality's population density is 30.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (79/sq mi) and its population has increased by 15.9% over the last decade.[6][7] It is the largest urban area in Northern Norway and the third largest north of the Arctic Circle anywhere in the world (following Murmansk and Norilsk). Most of Tromsø, including the city centre, is located on the island of Tromsøya, 350 kilometres (217 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. In 2017, the city of Tromsø had a population of about 65,000 people spread out over Tromsøya and parts of Kvaløya and the mainland. Tromsøya is connected to the mainland by the Tromsø Bridge and the Tromsøysund Tunnel, and to the island of Kvaløya by the Sandnessund Bridge.
The municipality is warmer than most other places located on the same latitude, due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream. Tromsø is even milder than places much farther south of it elsewhere in the world, such as on the Hudson Bay and in Far East Russia, with the warm-water current allowing for both relatively mild winters and tree growth in spite of its very high latitude.
The city centre of Tromsø contains the highest number of old wooden houses in Northern Norway, the oldest house dating from 1789. The city is a cultural centre for its region, with several festivals taking place in the summer. Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge of the electronica duo Röyksopp and Lene Marlin grew up and started their careers in Tromsø. Noted electronic musician Geir Jenssen also hails from Tromsø.

A Magpie in a Eucalyptus tree, Moonshine Park, New Zealand. Between 1864 and 1874 1,000 birds were brought over from south-eastern Australia and released across New Zealand in order to help control insect pests. The Australian Magpies are not related to the Magpies in the rest of the world. Now common across rural New Zealand and also suburban areas with pine trees, macrocarpa and eucalypts. The Magpie is a strongly territorial bird and during the nesting season they have been known to dive-bomb cyclists or pedestrians who stray too close to a nest. I have come to know these birds in Moonshine Park and they allow me to pass them on top of the stopbank at close quarter.
I can't stop allowing myself to go back to Smithville to capture this tree. I love to photograph it in all the seasons and one important thing I have learned is to never take it for granted. I had a very special tree in the Smithville Lake area that was taken down without notice and I regret not photographing it more. I guess this can apply to many things in life (family, friends, etc). So here I am, early in the morning mesmerized by the shape of the extended branches along the country fence line and the glow of the sky. I ended up blurring out the grass to give the sole focus on the this magnificent living specimen. I am just awed by the shapes here as if it were drawn on the page.
Few likely remember the Cinebomb classic from 1957 "From Hell It Came". For those who are familiar will agree this tree closely resembles the horrifying oak that snatched up young island girls while they slept and deposited them into a pool of quicksand. This being a common event on remote islands where tree's are left unsupervised and allowed to freely roam to pursue these unspeakable acts of violence.
I was given strict instructions I was not allowed to stand on the rocks at all to take images. The tide was coming in and huge waves were crashing through the cavern and over the rocks. You wouldn't know it from this long exposure though.
This image was taken from a ledge on the side of the rock-face. The sea spray was so bad that I only got few usable images.
Note to self. When it is that wild and windy, it really isn't worth the effort. Try as I might I could not get the filters clean between images.
I am starting my field survey season and already have way too much work. I will be cutting back posting and commenting to a few times a week to try to manage my time. In the words fellow photographer Leon-"please don't desert me'!
Hello Everyone, I love the noir style and for a woman, the look is a sultry dress, gloves and a cigarette with the smoke rising up causing the long lashes to flutter, or is it the good looking person at the end of the bar staring at you. :) Thank you for allowing me to share my photo with you. Have a lovely day.

#NoshsHoodChallenge3
Rules and details:
1) I (Noshinima Midas) tag 50 names of great photographers on Second Life. Said photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood (link below) and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.
2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.
3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.
Here is the link to the city block:

A scene from the many tracks that cross Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire. The mist certainly helped soften the mood and allows the shapes of the trees to stand out.
The band of clouds moving in added to the mystic along Oxbow Bend. Was great being here with no one else at this time, allowing it easy to move along the riverbank.
After a week with me Timmy is allowed for the first time
on the terrace secured with a cat net. The cat net is planned for about 4 weeks.
Update: 2 years later the cat net ist still there - I close the door to the freedom around midnight, but Timmy is allwed to be on the terrace every time, and he enjoys that.
Update: in 2022 the cat net was finally removed :-)

One day after this shot Timmy got his outlook tower:

This gal allowed me to get within 50 yds or so of her so I thanked her for not making me chase her through the swamp.

Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland
A different view of the castle. I'd been warned so I knew that between 9am & 6pm you are not allowed to fly a drone near the castle but I have to commend the owners for not putting a blanket ban on drones. I suspect this way people are more likely to obey the rules and come early or late like I did.
Again I hope to reshoot this in Oct or March and think sun set may be better. It is an epic view though!

When Tofu was sick he had to stay indoors for weeks but the weather wasn't great at the time anyway. Now it is sunny and he is allowed to go out again and stalk THE BIRDS. Tofu is happy but I'm pretty sure that his feathered friends don't share his enthusiasm.

. . . as sunshine flows into trees - John Muir
I know the light affected how I looked in the photos before this one. Sometimes in the morning I look at myself in the mirror and think, not so bad for someone turning 81 next month, then I wander downstairs and see myself in the broad daylight in the mirrors down there and scream.
the world should only allow pale pink lightbulbs.
these have not been an easy two years for any of us.
I really shouldn't complain.
but I do.
