Portrait aspect of Barbara Falls, also known as South Fork Falls. Barbara must have been a special gal to have this fall named after her. Or maybe she just babbled on incoherently. The name Barbara is of Greek origin meaning stranger or foreigner, or anyone who did not speak their language. That makes sense. More than half the time, I can't understand what woman are saying.

Aspects of Penarth. Waves lap at the Penarth Esplanade on a blustery 19 September 2020. This was just past high tide and the swell was starting to dissipate, but still not the sort of sea to be out on. Just visible (red) in the background is one of the Penarth lifeboats, being dragged up the slipway to its boathouse after an exercise.

One of the most extraordinary aspects of bird photography is closely observing the bird's behavior and learning the exciting aspects. The double-crested cormorant is a pretty common bird around the area's lakes, and you can often find them sunning on the rocks or dead branches near water features. On a recent trip to Siloam Springs lake, I found a cormorant about to take off. The cormorant first moved to water a seemed like it was going to swim around a bit. But suddenly, a lot of rapid movement happened under the surface, and the cormorant fully extended its wings. In a few strokes, the bird generated a lot of speed and was airborne. A lot of the action happened under the water, and you could see the effects as the water exploded behind the bird.
All this happened in about three seconds, and I was thankful I had my camera trained on the bird. I could have preferred a better composition that didn’t include the errant blades of grass, but in situations like rarely do you have control over that aspect.

Ferocactus herrerae es una especie de la familia Cactaceae, endémica de México y el sur de Estados Unidos, aunque actualmente se ha extendido por todo el mundo.
Es un cactus de porte globular de color verde medio, con 7 a 9 espinas centrales y al menos 1 plana y más larga, las radiales con aspecto de cerdas, en estado adulto normalmente tiene alrededor de 13 costillas. Cuando ha alcanzado edad suficiente produce abundantes flores de color amarillo entre primavera y verano.
Este cactus crece en forma globular hasta alcanzar su tamaño máximo, y a partir de entonces crece en altura, algunos ejemplares pueden llegar a medir en estado adulto unos 50 cm de diámetro y unos 2 m de alto.
Este cactus necesita estar en un lugar muy luminoso con sol directo para su correcto desarrollo, sobre todo si se desea conseguir flores, ya que en la naturaleza vive en desiertos muy calurosos. El sustrato ideal es el que se pueda regar y no se encharque, normalmente va bien la tierra hecha de hojas secas mezclada con arena. En cuanto al riego, en verano se suele regar una vez a la semana dejando bien empapada la tierra, en septiembre u octubre cuando empieza a bajar el calor es aconsejable ir reduciendo gradualmente los riegos hasta ser casi nulos, época en la que también es aconsejable rociarlo con algún fungicida para evitar los hongos.
Ya que esta especie no suele producir brotes laterales o hijuelos, la reproducción se realiza exclusivamente por semillas. Estas se encuentran dentro del fruto que deja la flor cuando se ha secado,misma que aparece regularmente a la edad de 15 años, si las condiciones de cultivo han sido óptimas durante el desarrollo, estas flores pueden ser de color morado, lila, o amarillo, al producir flores también producirá semillas las cuales, después de recolectarlas es conveniente esperar a que vuelva a hacer calor para sembrarlas. Para eso, una técnica muy usada, es colocarlas encima de arena húmeda dentro de un recipiente tapado con plástico o cristal que permita la entrada de la luz y el calor pero no deje salir la humedad. Si todo va bien en unas semanas empezarán a germinar, en cuanto tengan un tamaño que permita cogerlos bien es aconsejable trasplantarlos a algún tipo de tierra más nutritiva y menos húmeda para que se desarrollen bien, en cuanto a su exposición al sol es recomendable que en esta etapa estén en un sitio muy luminoso pero sin recibir el sol directo, que podría causar graves quemaduras o la muerte.
Ferocactus herrerae fue descrita por Jesús González Ortega y publicado en México Forest. 5: 53, en el año 1927.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferocactus_herrerae
Ferocactus herrerae, commonly known as the twisted barrel cactus, Herrera's barrel cactus, or the biznaga (in Classical Nahuatl), is a species of viviparous barrel cactus in the genus Ferocactus of the family Cactaceae that is native to southwestern Sonora to the northwestern coastline of Sinaloa in western Mexico. It was described by Mexican botanist, Jesús González Ortega in 1927. Its common name refers to its twisted, barrel cactus shape habit, with long, hooked, or barbed spines.
F. herrerae reaches an average height of 2 m (6.56 ft), and 40 cm (15.74 in) in diameter. 7-9 spines, with supposed bristle-like radials. Flowers are yellow, with red-pink midribs and brown tips, blooming from Summer to early Autumn. Fruit are yellow-green and fleshy. Areoles are 2.03 cm long. It starts out in a globular barrel cactus form and eventually, as it matures, developing into a signature cylindrical barrel cactus form.
Ferocactus herrerae was originally listed as a subspecies or variety of Ferocactus wislizeni until it was elevated to full species status based on morphological differences. The prior treatment is still used by some authors.
Ferocactus herrerae was assessed and listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature), for agricultural land clearance and conversion, combined with shrimp farming practices have greatly limited populations. Its current population is decreasing at a rate of 30%. It may also be provided a source of protection from CITES Appendix ll, though this cannot be certain.
Ferocactus herrerae is commonly used as an ornamental cactus out of its native range. Its seeds can be ground into flour, and its fruit are edible, showing numerous positive nutritional aspects.
Ferocactus herrerae is commonly pollinated by various cactus bee species (Lithurgus spp.).

La nebulosa de la Hélice, nebulosa Helix , NGC 7293 o el ojo de Dios como es popularmente llamada , es una nebulosa planetaria en la constelación de Acuario, a unos 680 años luz de distancia. Es una de las nebulosas planetarias más próximas a la Tierra y fue descubierta por Karl Ludwig Harding antes de 1824. Su aspecto es muy similar a la nebulosa del Anillo (M57) y sus características físicas son parecidas a las de la nebulosa Dumbbell (M27).
Esta nebulosa es un ejemplo de nebulosa planetaria formada por una estrella similar al Sol en los últimos estados de su vida. Los gases expulsados por la estrella aparecen desde nuestra perspectiva como si viéramos una hélice desde arriba, de donde proviene su nombre. La estrella remanente es una enana blanca. La edad de la nebulosa, basada en su ritmo de expansión, se estima en unos 10 600 años aproximadamente.
A pesar de su gran tamaño aparente, es un objeto difícil de ver debido a su difusión, requiriendo cielos oscuros y el uso de instrumentos lo más luminosos posible

This shot of the Warwick AWP is likely my most favourite elevator shot of all elevators that I have photographed. It is still proudly wearing the old company "colours" and showing them off very well in black & white, and even more so in colour. I'll leave that for another time. The only thing that could make this a much better image is an awesome Alberta sky. Sadly, they don't exist as much in the winter like they do in summer.
In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

L'aspect néoclassique actuel remonte aux travaux effectués de 1781 à 1801 par Ferdinando Fuga qui est également l'auteur du grand dôme qui émerge du corps principal du bâtiment et des dômes plus petits qui couvrent les plafonds des nefs latérales.
The current neoclassical aspect dates back to the works carried out from 1781 to 1801 by Ferdinando Fuga who is also the author of the large dome which emerges from the main body of the building and of the smaller domes which cover the ceilings of the side aisles.
A high aspect ratio wing is most efficient for long distance gliding. With bones that lock into place in the extended wings, this lasyan albatross uses a horizontal lift component to bank sharply to the right and head out to sea. At sea it will have an oscillating glide path as it rises on orographic lift off wave faces then gravity accelerates into the wave troughs to glide for thousands of miles across the Pacific. The aerodynamics of mōlī (Phoebastria immutabilis) flight are fascinating. But it is the seemingly effortless, calm beauty and aerial grace that keeps me enviously watching for hours.

Aria Resort and Casino is a luxury resort and casino, part of the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Aria consists of two curved glass and steel highrise towers adjoined at the center. It opened on December 16, 2009 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Infinity World Development. At 4,000,000 sq ft (370,000 m²) and 600 ft (180 m) in height, it is the largest and tallest structure at CityCenter. The resort's 61 and 51-story towers contain an American Automobile Association five diamond hotel with 4,004 guest rooms and suites, 16 restaurants, 10 bars and nightclubs, and a casino with 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m²) of gaming space. It also has a 215,000 sq ft (20,000 m²) pool area with 34 cabanas, an 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m²) salon and spa, a 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m²) convention center and a 1,800-seat theater which hosted Zarkana by Cirque du Soleil, until closing April 30, 2016. Among the most notable aspects of Aria is its incorporation of technology in the exterior and interior design of the hotel, specifically for the reduction of energy consumption. It is the largest hotel in the world to have earned LEED Gold certification. On account of its smart rooms which automatically adjust curtains, turn off unused lights and electronics, and regulate the temperature when a guest enters or leaves a room, Aria was described in Popular Mechanics as possibly "the most technologically advanced hotel ever built".

The Watchtower stands at the eastern end of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. From a distance the building's silhouette looks like the Anasazi watchtower it was meant to mimic. The steel and concrete structure of this space is entirely plastered and all of the walls are covered with murals. The most distinct images, painted by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie depict various aspects of Hopi mythology and religious ceremonies.
De aspecto de espléndida mansión más que de castillo, es singular y característico por el geométrico mosaico de piedras blancas y grises engastadas en su fachada a modo de tablero de ajedrez.

One aspect of approaching spring in Minnesota that I enjoy is watching the habits of wildlife begin to show a gradual change as warmer weather begins to become friendly once again.
Little by little birds and animals begin to move around more and show signs they are sensing a change is in the air.
Around some small lakes and moving rivers, open spaces of water are increasing in size and waterfowl are competing for swimming space.
Eagles are moving around more in their hunting areas.
This eagle from just a few days ago is sitting on a few inches of snow on a shallow lake and looks like it disgusts him as he thinks ahead to fresh fish that will soon be abundant.

Ochagavía es una villa y municipio español de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, situado en la Merindad de Sangüesa, en el valle de Salazar, en la comarca de Roncal-Salazar y a 85 km de la capital de la comunidad, Pamplona.
Ochagavia tiene la fama de ser el pueblo más bonito de los Pirineos navarros, resultado de su larga historia y del especial cuidado que sus habitantes tienen por mantener su aspecto externo.
Una de las imágenes más bellas que te puedes llevar de un viaje a Navarra es llegar a Ochagavia al atardecer, cuando la luz del sol resalta las fachadas de las casas que se suceden a orillas del río Anduña.
Ochagavia lo encuentras al norte del Valle de Salazar, al noreste de los Pirineos navarros.
En la confluencia de los ríos Zatoia y Anduña, su fisonomía queda marcada al ser cruzado por este último y por los frondosos bosques de hayas y pinos silvestres que rodean al pueblo.
De hecho, Ochagavia se sitúa junto a los límites de la Selva de Irati, uno de los paisajes naturales más bonitos que puedes ver en Navarra y Europa.
"Aquí las calles no tienen nombre, así que podríamos decir que el pueblo lo forman cuatro barrios ,Iribarren, Urrutia, Irigoien y Labaria".
Paseando por sus calles empedradas podemos admirar sus casas tan típicas de la zona de Navarra. Estos caseríos se presentan con grandes portones con sus escudos, y sus balcones nos reciben con hermosas flores de colores. Además nos llama la atención los tejados muy empinados de teja plana a dos y cuatro aguas.
Todo esto hace de Ochagavía un lugar de especial encanto al visitante, que como nosotros se deja perder por estas callejuelas que nos cuentan historias de tiempos pasados. Otro de sus puntos fuertes es la gastronomía, donde podremos degustar platos típicos de la zona del Pirineo de Navarra. Toda una delicia para los sentidos.
Una de las cosas que más nos impactan al recorrer esta villa son sus puentes. Pero hay uno, el que encontramos nada más entrar en el pueblo, que nos hace viajar en el tiempo. Es el Puente de Piedra o Puente Medieval que cruza el río Anduña.
Cuando vemos el puente, parece que estamos en otro siglo. Detrás podemos ver sus típicas casas de este pueblo de Navarra, con sus típicos balcones llenos de flores. Reclamo del turismo en Navarra y en España
La joya del pueblo son las antiquísimas danzas de Ochagavía, en honor a la Virgen de Muskilda.
El paisaje de altas cumbres y profundos bosques ofrece un entorno inmejorable para practicar deporte. En invierno se puede esquiar en pleno corazón de Irati en las pistas de esquí de fondo de Abodi-Salazar. También puede realizar diversas rutas de senderismo y BTT por los bellos bosques de la zona.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
This part of the paperbark wetland/forest/swamp is in the Bongaree wetlands on Bribie Island.
Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as broad-leaved paperbark, the paper bark tea tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the allspice family, Myrtaceae. The plant is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and coastal eastern Australia, from Botany Bay in New South Wales northwards, into Queensland and the Northern Territory. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida, where it is considered a serious weed by the USDA. The broad-leaved paperbark grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m high, with the trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark. The grey-green leaves are ovate and the cream or white bottlebrush-like flowers appear from late spring to autumn. (Source: Wikipedia)

Esta cría del año de rebeco, la situada a la derecha del fotograma. Muestra ese aspecto desenfadado con ese "flequillo" provocado por los penachos indicadores del comienzo de crecimiento de una cuerna incipiente. También empieza a verse la muda al pelaje invernal que les favorece.
Está lleno de curiosidad ante la vida y rebosante de vitalidad, su progenitora va dándole cuerda y él empieza a hacer travesuras con estos nuevos compañeros de juegos. Sus nuevos aliados son dos rebecos jóvenes de menos de dos años de edad.
El grupo de hembras en el que estará la madre de esta cría no están lejos. Pero ya empieza a ganar autonomía haciendo breves escapadas con estos jovenzuelos atrevidos.
Llevo muchos años compartiendo horas de observación con estos bóvidos y nunca dejan de sorprenderme. Cada ejemplar muestra su personalidad y algunos interactúan conmigo de forma marcadamente diferente.

I know the male of the species is the primary objective for photographers, but the female is especially, if subtly, beautiful. There are two aspects of the female’s plumage that are distinctive and really lovely: the two black lines descending from the bottom of its bill, which frame a soft white patch; and the yellow back collar.
The Evening Grosbeak’s bill is really different, changing colour seasonally. It lightens in the fall-to-winter period, and then becomes greener toward spring. It never really loses the greenish tint, which I think is among its most distinctive features.
As the bird’s French name indicates, the Evening Grosbeak does not follow a true migratory path from year to year, but ‘wanders’ to find available cone crops. It was originally found in the foothills of the Rockies, and has since spread east and south. Scientists have used modern tracking techniques to get a clearer sense of their travels, but ‘wandering’ remains an accurate description in times of climate change.
That wandering has of necessity intensified, as its other main food source, spruce budworm larvae, has been targeted by pesticide spraying programs that have all but eradicated the pest.
The arrival of a flock of Evening Grosbeaks is always a test of one’s reflexes, as they squabble over perches and push for food. This bird touched down very briefly, low and close, and I was as ready as I can be. The background is cluttered by the weedy shrubs and young trees that are another visit’s perches, so I never mind them.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
`This part of the paperbark wetland/forest/swamp (with water after some cyclonic rains) is in the Buckleys Hole Conservation Park on Bribie Island. Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island and covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.

I think everyone who has some knowledge of history knows about the battle of Stalingrad, so no lengthy description for today. I mainly wanted to portray ruins of the workers district in Stalingrad, which was firebombed so extensively that there would be nothing left but ash and chimneys. The area would be a battlefield until the Soviets pushed the Germans out of the city in February 1943.
I plan on doing more builds related to the battle of Stalingrad in the future to portray all aspects of it. The next build will likely be the railway station going into the city. I also plan on doing more WWII builds in the future, especially after watching the Soviet film "Come and See", which I highly recommend.
I think that I processed the first photo of the rhino in haste so I re-processed this photo using a slightly different technique. More pleasing to my eye at least.

Ordonné prêtre à Paris en 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat poursuit des études scientifiques à Nancy.
En 1693, il est volontaire et part comme missionnaire avec l'autorisation des responsables de l'ordre des dominicains aux Antilles. Le 29 janvier 1694, il débarque en Martinique. Il rejoint ses pères à la paroisse de Macouba, où il travaille pendant deux ans à développer la paroisse et construit de nombreux édifices. En 1696, il voyage en Guadeloupe et en Dominique puis est nommé procureur syndic des îles d'Amérique à son retour en Martinique.
Il visite les Antilles françaises, néerlandaises et anglaises de Grenade à Hispaniola. Dans ses récits, rédigés en 1698, il évoque de nombreux aspects de la société caribéenne dont l'esclavage colonial. Il est lui-même un fervent défenseur de l'esclavage et possède des esclaves. Il décrit les conditions de vie des esclaves martiniquais et leur passion pour la danse. Il est également le témoin privilégié d'un autre aspect de cette société, la flibuste, pour laquelle ses écrits sont une source d'une grande importance.
Il fonde l'exploitation sucrière de Fonds-Saint-Jacques à Sainte-Marie en Martinique, et les paroisses de Le Robert et Le François (appelées cul-de-sac Robert et cul-de-sac François dans Nouveau Voyage aux Isles Françoises de l'Amérique). Il aide à développer et moderniser l'industrie de la canne à sucre dans les Antilles françaises. Il assiste le botaniste Charles Plumier dans son travail quand celui-ci séjourne aux Antilles, même s'il[Qui ?] jugeait la mission que lui a confié Louis XIV plus qu'inutile. Il fortifie et prépare la défense de la Guadeloupe (dont il reste la tour du Père-Labat) puis prend part au combat lors de l'attaque britannique de l'île en 1704. Il est nommé vice-préfet apostolique la même année.
En 1706, il rentre en Europe et est nommé en Italie ou il entreprend la rédaction du célèbre Nouveau Voyage aux isles Françoises de l'Amérique à partir des notes journalières qu'il avait prises toutes ces années durant. Il tente d'organiser son retour aux Amériques mais n'obtient jamais l'autorisation de sa hiérarchie. Il réside à Paris en 1716, dans le couvent de la rue Saint-Honoré où il exerce les fonctions d’agent du Maître général de l’Ordre jusqu'à sa mort1

He visits the French, Dutch and English West Indies from Grenada to Hispaniola. In his stories, written in 1698, he evokes many aspects of Caribbean society, including colonial slavery. He is himself a staunch defender of slavery and has slaves. It describes the living conditions of Martinican slaves and their passion for dancing. He is also the privileged witness of another aspect of this society, the flibust, for which his writings are a source of great importance.
