St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge
London, UK
July 2016
When I visited London in 2016, unfortunately, I did not step inside St Paul's. I only recently discovered one unique acoustic feature of St Paul's beautifully created dome that fascinated me. The Whispering Gallery is a circular walkway that is 257 steps up the dome from the cathedral floor, encircling the interior of the dome. At the Whispering Galley, a whisper against its curving walls is audible on the opposite side some 30 - 40 meters (on average, approximately 115 feet) away. How amazing! I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician. Based on what I have read, the late Lord Rayleigh discovered this phenomenon, that in a whispering gallery, the sound waves cling to the surface, creep horizontally along a relatively narrow belt around the circular shape of the wall, and travel to the other end of the gallery, thereby amplifying sound.

With the snow melting the rivers have filled up and the flood planes begin to turn into lakes. You can tell from quite a distance where the biggest lakes have formed by the audible excitement of geese and ducks.
“True solitude is found in the wild places, where one is without human obligation. One’s inner voices become audible… In consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives.”
- Wendell Berry
"Timeless sea breezes,
that for aeons have
blown ancient rocks,
you are purest space
coming from afar…
- Rainer Maria Rilke.
Don't get me started on Rilke. He's not a just poet, but an oracle. And I chose these lines because they seemed to encapsulate the fresh clean air of the breeze that was blowing on my face so early in the morning.
I was clambering all over the rocks, inspired by the sight before my eyes, listening to the barely audible bird cries (you'll see one flying in the middle of the picture), as the sea broke against the rocks and the breeze whistled gently in my ears.
But this was just the beginning...
More tomorrow.

The wolves settled down on the sofa to watch Strictly Come Dancing with wine and treats. After a while the commercial break came on and there was a plea for information about Violette’s stolen heart and a reward offered…
There was an audible gulp, and Wolfy tiptoed towards the door, taking his treat with him…

Could Wolfy be the one❓That’s right, he’s suspect number 5

Under a false hope that Amtrak would be logical and send the inbound Hiawatha set (with a Veterans NPCU)
right back out as the last outbound of the day, we were quickly disappointed when the sound of an e-bell became audible as Amtrak 342 departed Milwaukee. IDTX charger #4604 brings the Chicago-bound Hiawatha, through the plant and past the searchlights that guard Menominee as light fades.
Eschscholzia californica, the California poppy, golden poppy, California sunlight or cup of gold, is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to the United States and Mexico. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant flowering in summer (spring in southern Australia), with showy cup-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow (occasionally pink and white). It is also used as food or a garnish. It became the official state flower of California in 1903.
California Poppy is a perennial or annual plant growing to 5–12 in (13–30 cm) tall with alternately branching glaucous blue-green foliage. The leaves are alternately divided into round, lobed segments. The flowers are solitary on long stems, silky-textured, with four petals, each petal 2 to 6 cm (0.79 to 2.36 in) long and broad; flower color ranges through yellow, orange and red (with some pinks). Flowering occurs from February to September in the northern hemisphere (spring, summer, fall). The petals close at night (or in cold, windy weather) and open again the following morning, although they may remain closed in cloudy weather. The fruit is a slender, dehiscent capsule 3 to 9 cm (1.2 to 3.5 in) long, which splits in two, sometimes explosively with an audible snap, to release numerous small (1.5–1.8 mm wide) black or dark brown seeds. It survives mild winters in its native range, dying completely in colder climates.

Kurmasana (Tortoise Pose) is named for an animal that withdraws into its shell when startled or threatened. It's not surprising, then, that when you take the physical shape of the tortoise in this pose, you will often experience an exquisite feeling of moving inward mentally—as though the world around you is moving out of focus as your inner world becomes more audible and clear.

The Long-winged Conehead is a bush-cricket of rough grassland and woodland rides, as well as damp habitats. It is largely vegetarian, feeding on grasses, but will also eat small invertebrates. Nymphs emerge from mid-May onwards, moulting into their adult forms at the end of July. The 'song' of the Long-winged Conehead (a soft, hissing 'buzz') is barely audible to human ears. Females lay their eggs in late summer in grass stems; here, they overwinter, ready to emerge next spring.
"Silence is the relative or total lack of audible sound. By analogy, the word silence may also refer to any absence of communication, even in media other than speech" (Wikipedia).
When I made a little stop at Lake Neusiedl near Hungarian border some weeks ago I visited- as usual when I´m in Burgenland, the province in East-Austria- the little lighthouse in Podersdorf.
It was stormy and rainy and nobody enjoyed the lonesome mood near the lake.
There was almost absolute silence, only the bird´s wings could be heard...
After another full day on the river we made it to our campsite at Pogamasing, nestled along a bend in the river near the east end of the siding. Not satisfied with the amount of photography done over the first two days, I poked around for opportunities to do something at night. I stumbled upon this angle, set up the tripod and focus, and headed back to camp collecting firewood for dinner. Fast-forward to 05:00 hrs and CPKC's dependable hot-shot 101 is westbound on the approach to Pog. With only the sound of gently flowing water to be heard, the eerie quiet turns to faint rumblings echoing in and out of rock cuts in the damp fall air, at times disappearing for so long you wonder if its your imagination. Growing louder and louder again, the suspense finally crescendos, the train thundering around the corner amidst a blaze of fall colour, the sound now so deafening with the squealing flanges on the curve and the GEs howling that the "clear signal Pog East" is barely audible on the radio - MP 19.4 CPKC Nemegos Subdivision.

Casi todas las especies del género son bastante crípticas en su coloración dorsal, y pasan la mayor parte del día posadas en los árboles, rocas, y otras superficies de color similar al de sus alas. No existen revisiones recientes sobre su taxonomía, por lo que es necesario usar la guía de DW Jenkins (1983).
Los machos establecen y defienden territorios en los árboles. En la elección de los árboles, poco tienen que ver la presencia de la alimento, la posición de los árboles a lo largo de las rutas de vuelo, el tamaño del árbol, la textura de la corteza o la presencia de líquenes. Cada especie tiene un ámbito de altura para posarse, y usan menos el lado norte de los árboles así como el lado expuesto a la luz directa del sol (en los días calurosos). TODAS LAS ESPECIES SE POSAN CON LA CABEZA HACIA ABAJO Y LOS MACHOS A MENUDO VUELAN HACIA OTRAS MARIPOSAS.
Cada macho usa como territorio hasta cuatro árboles diarios, sin diferencia entre estaciones, y cada árbol es utilizado en promedio por 1,5 mariposas. La mayoría de las interacciones se producen desde las 13:00 a través de las 15:00 horas y son más frecuentes en la temporada de lluvias. Por la noche, los machos comparten una rama para descansar. Por lo menos siete lugares han sido propuestos para el mecanismo sonoro de las Hamadryas. Experimentos y microscopía electrónica de barrido sugieren que ambos sexos emiten sonido y que el aparato de sonido, ubicado en las alas anteriores, es de percusión, no de raspado. Al final del ciclo de giro del ala hacia arriba, venas especializadas colisionan a una velocidad aproximada de 1420 mm / s, produciendo el sonido. La frecuencia de vuelo de sus alas es 20-29 Hz. Los clics duran 1,38 ms con intervalos de 43,74 ms entre ellos y el componente de frecuencias se concentra en torno a 2,4 kHz, lo que coincide con la capacidad auditiva de las Hamadryas y las condiciones acústicas del hábitat.
La vena agrandada está presente exclusivamente en Hamadryas; tiene una estructura interna en forma de serpentina y probablemente actúa como caja de resonancia. El crecimiento del aparato de sonido no va más allá debido a su efecto sobre la capacidad de vuelo, características fisiológicas y razones ecológicas. Sin embargo, esta explicación del mecanismo de sonido ha sido cuestionada sobre la base de observaciones anecdóticas.
Todas las Hamadryas tienen una membrana en forma de cúpula, que actúa como oído. Un segundo oído más pequeño, con cuatro cámaras, posiblemente detecta murciélagos depredadores. La investigación también ha demostrado que estas mariposas también puede detectar los sonidos hechos por otras mariposas, una forma de comunicación sonora. El órgano de la audición se cree, según propuso el investigador venezolano Luis Daniel Otero, que es el órgano de Vogel, situado en la base del ala.
Más de 50 especies de lepidópteros (11 familias) emiten sonido audible para los seres humanos, entre ellas, las 'Hamadryas, que emiten clics audibles cuando se acercan posibles depredadores, y también para defender sus territorios de otras Hamadryas, y al menos en una especie usa el sonido también durante el cortejo.

Almost all species of the genus are quite cryptic in their dorsal coloration, and spend most of the day perched on trees, rocks, and other surfaces of similar color to their wings. There are no recent revisions to its taxonomy, so it is necessary to use the DW Jenkins (1983) guide.
Males establish and defend territories in the trees. In the choice of trees, little has to do with the presence of food, the position of the trees along the flight routes, the size of the tree, the texture of the bark or the presence of lichens. Each species has a height area to perch, and they use less the north side of the trees as well as the side exposed to direct sunlight (on hot days). ALL SPECIES LAND WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN AND MALES OFTEN FLY TOWARDS OTHER BUTTERFLIES.
Each male uses up to four trees a day as a territory, with no difference between seasons, and each tree is used on average by 1.5 butterflies. Most interactions occur from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and are more frequent during the rainy season. At night, the males share a branch to rest. At least seven places have been proposed for the sound mechanism of the Hamadryas. Experiments and scanning electron microscopy suggest that both sexes emit sound and that the sound apparatus, located on the previous wings, is percussion, not scraping. At the end of the upward wing rotation cycle, specialized veins collide at a speed of approximately 1420 mm / s, producing the sound. The flight frequency of its wings is 20-29 Hz. The clicks last 1.38 ms with intervals of 43.74 ms between them and the frequency component is concentrated around 2.4 kHz, which coincides with the auditory capacity of the Hamadryas and the acoustic conditions of the habitat.
The enlarged vein is present exclusively in Hamadryas; it has an internal serpentine-shaped structure and probably acts as a resonance box. The growth of the sound system does not go further due to its effect on flight capacity, physiological characteristics and ecological reasons. However, this explanation of the sound mechanism has been questioned on the basis of anecdotal observations.
All Hamadryas have a dome-shaped membrane, which acts as an ear. A second smaller ear, with four cameras, possibly detects predatory bats. Research has also shown that these butterflies can also detect the sounds made by other butterflies, a form of sound communication. The hearing organ is believed, as proposed by Venezuelan researcher Luis Daniel Otero, which is Vogel's organ, located at the base of the wing.
More than 50 species of lepidoptera (11 families) emit audible sound to humans, including the 'Hamadryas, which emit audible clicks when possible predators approach, and also to defend their territories from other Hamadryas, and at least in one species it also uses sound during the procession.

On the eve of Samhain, when the boundary between worlds is at its thinnest, the Enchantress of Shadows opens her ancient grimoire. With a barely audible whisper, she releases secrets buried for centuries. Her crystal orb, imbued with lost souls, reveals hidden truths. The spiders gather, drawn to the aura of power emanating from her… Tonight, she summons the shadows, and all wandering spirits answer her call.
À la veille de Samhain, lorsque la frontière entre les mondes est la plus mince, l'Enchanteresse des Ombres ouvre son grimoire ancestral. Avec un murmure à peine audible, elle libère des secrets enfouis depuis des siècles. Sa boule de cristal, empreinte des âmes perdues, lui révèle des vérités cachées. Les araignées se rassemblent, comme attirées par l’aura de pouvoir qui émane d'elle… Ce soir, elle invoque les ombres, et tous les esprits errants répondent à son appel.

Hummingbirds are New World birds that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm bee hummingbird, weighing less than a U.S. penny (2.5 g).
They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, typically around 50 times per second, allowing them also to fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph), backwards.
Sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) face into the wind (and the setting sun), contract their wings to lose altitude, and extend their legs in preparation for landing on terra firma. When in flight they create a cacophony audible for a long way off.
Many people tell me that photographing a breaching whale is high on their bucket list, but it is a regular sight off the tip of the Baja peninsula. Sometimes an individual whale will breach many times in succession, although the breaches become much less energetic with time. I have also noticed with repeat breachers that they always do the same kind of breach; back flip, belly flop or side landing. We know that breaching sends an audible signal to other whales in the area, but I'm not sure why they do it. Some whales like Humpbacks are far more prone to breaching while some species never seem to breach. Humpback Whale males, females and youngsters all breach, and they certainly breach more often on the breeding and birthing grounds than on the summer feeding grounds. In the northern hemisphere Humpback Whales breed in warmer waters from December to March and return to give birth about eleven and a half months later, having spent the summer feeding in colder, more productive waters. Gorda Banks off the tip of the Baja peninsula is one such birthing and breeding ground. Whales from this population move up the Pacific coast of North America.
And one final thing; I almost titled this "Let's turn that frown upside down" as the usual sad jawline of a Humpback appears to be smiling from this angle.

Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and comprise the biological family Trochilidae. With approximately 366 species and 113 genera, they occur from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, but most species are found in Central and South America. As of 2024, 21 hummingbird species are listed as endangered or critically endangered, with numerous species declining in population.
Hummingbirds have varied specialized characteristics to enable rapid, maneuverable flight: exceptional metabolic capacity, adaptations to high altitude, sensitive visual and communication abilities, and long-distance migration in some species. Among all birds, male hummingbirds have the widest diversity of plumage color, particularly in blues, greens, and purples. Hummingbirds are the smallest mature birds, measuring 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) in length. The smallest is the 5 cm (2.0 in) bee hummingbird, which weighs less than 2.0 g (0.07 oz), and the largest is the 23 cm (9 in) giant hummingbird, weighing 18–24 grams (0.63–0.85 oz). Noted for long beaks, hummingbirds are specialized for feeding on flower nectar, but all species also consume small insects.
They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to other birds and humans. They hover at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species to 80 per second in small hummingbirds (Wikipedia)

So Lonely

U.K. #6
“Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theater that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely”
Getting another person in view took a little bit of planning, I’d seen the cyclist a few times on my evening walk!
There are very few passengers at the station and it does have a somewhat melancholy feel to it, especially seeing trains departing that are completely empty.
On the plus side, the sound of the locomotive on the night air is absolutely wonderful, the engine note being audible for over five minutes. I’ve always found the sound of trains at night to be very comforting.
I chose ‘So Lonely’ because of the current separation between the railway and its passengers.
As an aside, friends from the U.K. might remember speculation at the time that rather than signing ‘So Lonely’ the words were actually ‘Sue Lawley’, presenter of TV news magazine ‘Nationwide’!

Peacock Butterfly - Aglais io
The Peacock is a familiar sight in gardens across the British Isles and is unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a beak.
The underside is a different matter altogether, being almost black, providing perfect camouflage when the butterfly is at rest on a tree trunk, or when hibernating. In addition to camouflage and large eyes, the butterfly is able to make a hissing sound by rubbing its wings together that is audible to human ears. All in all, this butterfly must appear very threatening to any predator that might come across it. This is a highly mobile butterfly that occurs throughout the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland, although it is not found in parts of northern Scotland. However, its range does seem to be increasing, with sightings from new areas being recorded every year.
Using an empty dish detergent bottle, I filled it with hot water, and squirted it into the frigid -52F air.... and created ice fog.
Not easy to hear on this video, the creation of ice fog makes quite an audible hsssss as the hot water immediately sublimates to frozen vapor. Some droplets are too big, and 'crash' to the deck surface with a rattle.
looking down on the city of Tiruvannamalai on my first walk on the hill after visiting the second time; it was already late afternoon and the shadows grew longer by the minute.

The peacock, also known as the Indian peafowl, is a captivating bird celebrated for its colorful feathers and unique calls. In India, it's seen as a symbol of royalty and beauty, influencing art and traditions.
One of its most stunning features is the long tail feathers, called ocelli, used to attract mates through a wide display. The peacock's body is vibrant blue, and its neck and chest feathers shimmer in different colors based on the light angle.
The loud calls of peacocks serve to find mates and protect their territory, audible from miles away. Their diet is diverse, including insects, seeds, berries, and even snakes. Peacocks live in groups called harems, typically with one male and up to five females.
In Indian culture, peacocks are sacred, depicted in art and literature. Their significance stretches into Hindu mythology, associating them with gods. The peacock's presence in India reflects a deep cultural connection, making it a revered symbol in the country's heritage.
It’s November 29th, 2024. Another day, another adventure. Started my morning off heading towards Buckhannon and the A&O in hopes of finding a rare daylight run on the west end of the railroad. Unfortunately that was out of the equation by time I hit the state line with West Virginia. So I called an audible and asked around to see what else might be out there in the coal fields. I got a hit on a train showing to be on CSX’s Coleman Sub near Somerset, PA, which is a pretty difficult piece of railroad to find anything moving, just one of those lines where have to be in the right place at the right time to luck into finding anything. So without further ado, I turned the car around near Morgantown, WV and beat feet eastbound towards the small town of Berlin, to investigate further. By the time I arrived much readily visible cut of cars were already finished being loaded which admittedly had me worried. Was this the last few cars to load? I don’t see any other cars visible in the small yard there. Thankfully that turned to not be the case due to limited capacity of the small yard below the loadout, the train had to be busted into 3 cuts for each half of the train to load it all. I was always reluctant to buy a drone for the longest time. Even after purchasing it I left it sitting in the box for months, debating if I really wanted to go down this route. Eventually I started to experiment with it and it completely revolutionized how I looked at things from the ground. Without the investment into a drone in this instance, partially at this location where PBS Coal’s Cambria loadout is not one that you can even get anywhere close to without trespassing onto mine property or neighboring private property. The drone does just fine at not stepping on anybody’s toes and I come away with some stellar shots of another coal operation I’ve been trying to photograph for a long time.

What it is really , tree surgeons taking down a tree in sections ( 2 or 3 foot at a time ) - by the time I walked back after getting only half a dozen items the tree was down to a 4 foot stump .
In the picture below you can see the guy taking five before slicing another chunk of tree from the top and then just and pushing it off and down to the ground below . good job nobody is just standing around down below !!
"Mind the gap" is an audible or visual warning phrase issued to rail passengers to take caution while crossing the horizontal, and in some cases vertical, spatial gap between the train door and the station platform.
It is today popularly associated with the UK because of the particularly British word choice. However, the warning is universal, and can be associated with any type of danger as a result of holes in the road surface, differences in height between pavement and road, sinkholes and so on.
To illustrate this phenomenon I made a series of five photographs.
Any reference to facts that actually occurred is based on mere coincidence. None of the actors were hurt :-)
Of course, the main target of the day was the rush hour train out of Strasbourg, into the "Vosges": a very green part of the Grand Est region.
After having worked TER 831826 from Strasbourg to Saint Dié, the set returns to Rothau as TER 831879, this time with the BB 67400 on the front. At this point, it was audible from a long way, working hard towards the top at Saales.

I took this pic on a morning walk with Moxie today. It's the skeleton of a Queen Anne's lace plant.
Thanks for all the comments and faves on this one! I audibly gasped when I saw it because I thought it was so pretty, I'm glad I seemed to have captured that.

At last the forecast was right. I had started on Mam Tor without camera. I came back down to get it. I then went part of the way back up to take some shots across to Rushup. Then I went up Rushup just as the sky turned dark grey and the snow rushed in. We persisted along the ridge often through deep drifts. I don't know how far we went along....most of the way, but we couldn't see very far around us and I started thinking what survival gear I had brought with me. I came to the conclusion it was pointless to go on. The weather showed no sign of abating, and by turning around at least the snow wasn't blowing into our eyes and up our nostrils. I was just getting back to the end of the ridge when I thought I saw a glimmer of light, and decided to turn round and go back up to a higher part of the ridge. But another wave of greyness descended and I headed down again. I was almost back to the road when the sun suddenly appeared as if by magic. I called Darcy, who was in full swing with a bunch of clingons between her legs, and she halted and turned. "Come on: this way", I said. There was a moments hesitation, and an audible hmmmph from her and she came back up through the snow to me. And back we went up to the edge of the ridge to take some shots in glorious sunlight.
All this up down business reminds me of trying to find a nightclub in Barcelona.............
I may have audibly gasped when I saw Cinta come out of the dark shadows of the cave and suddenly be bathed in beautiful light, with all his tiger brilliance becoming clear, only the blackness left behind.

Is this Spitfire real, a reproduction or a replica? Spitfire N3200 crash-landed on a beach near Dunkirk in 1940 and remained there buried by the sea and shifting sands for more than 30 years. The wreck was recovered, and over many years, rebuilt into the Spitfire we see today. One cannot help but wonder how many of the original components were included... Having said all that, Spitfire Mk 1a N3200 is always my favourite plane to see. The Mk 1's make a characteristic whistle as they fly past, audible above the roar of the Merlin engine - something to do with the airflow across the radiators. A magical sight and sound.
