Taken from the South Bank of the Thames close to Tower Bridge. Construction has changed the face of the City in my life time but having not visited for a while, the change seems to be even more dramatic. To the left, 20 Fenchurch Street, otherwise known as the Walkie Talkie building due to it's shape which tends to remind me of a somewhat squashed loaf of bread. To the right and now very much hidden from view is the Gherkin building which once stood virtually unobstructed from view.

While waiting for woodmice to turn up An unexpected visitor arrived, a Bank Vole. Two flashes used and a small led light to light the prop allowing camera to focus in the dark. Own garden, West Dorset.
Der Zeitungsleser, eine aussterbende Art. Für mich ist es immer noch etwas Besonderes eine Zeitung in den Händen zu halten. Mir gefällt das große Format und ich mag den Kampf mit dem Papier. Auf der Bank sitzen, die letzten Sonnenstrahlen genießen, dabei die Zeitung lesen und einen Hopfenblütentee trinken - das ist Glück.
Came across this chap as I was watching birds feeding off a stone wall. He was at the bottom catching all of the crumbs
After traveling hard for 3 days, we stopped and took a stretch break along the banks of the Hoback River. Such a beautiful area.

Out exploring Banks Peninsula again on the motorbike this afternoon. This was taken about 7:30pm above Otanerito Bay (to the right) and looking south as the day was coming to an end. I couldn't stay till the sun was lower and potentially a better shot as this was still a 20 minute hike back up to the road then about 30 minutes over the hill to Akaora so about 2 hours back home. A remote part of Banks Peninsula and I was a being mindful that on my 1st trip I needed to play it on the safe side, but really a lovely area and not a sole to be seen.
Yes, it is the South Bank again. I obviously like the place:-) This is from the same night as the photo I posted the other day. A great walk, day or night. Perhaps not the right weather for it in February:-)
Explored 16/2/10, Thanks for your visit, comments and faves, enjoy your evening!
The DZ Bank building (formerly DG Bank building) is an office, conference, and residential building located at Pariser Platz 3 in Berlin. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, it was completed in 2000. The photo depicts the facade facing Behrenstraße, where there are 39 residential apartments. On the other side of the building, the headquarters of Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank are located.

Die Küstenscharbe (Phalacrocorax neglectus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie Phalacrocorax innerhalb der Familie der Kormorane. Die dunkelbraun bis schwarz gefärbte Art besiedelt die westafrikanische Küste von Namibia bis Südafrika. Sie brütet in Kolonien und ernährt sich vorwiegend von Fischen und Langusten. Die IUCN führt die Art als „stark gefährdet“, da ihre Brutplätze zunehmend zerstört werden und ihre Beutetiere überfischt sind. Die Art ist ein ausgeprägter Standvogel. Adulte Vögel entfernen sich auch außerhalb der Brutzeit nur selten mehr als zehn Kilometer von ihrem Brutplatz und kehren häufig dorthin zurück. Jungvögel neigen jedoch zu ausgeprägter Dismigration und legen dann teils mehrere hundert Kilometer zurück, bis sie sich in einer anderen Kolonie niederlassen. (Wikipedia)
The Bank Cormorant (Phalacrocorax neglectus) is a bird species from the Phalacrocorax family within the cormorant family. The dark brown to black-colored species inhabits the West African coast from Namibia to South Africa. It breeds in colonies and feeds mainly on fish and crayfish. The IUCN lists the species as "critically endangered" as its breeding grounds are increasingly being destroyed and its prey is overfished. The species is a distinctly resident bird. Even outside the breeding season, adult birds rarely travel more than ten kilometers from their breeding site and often return there. Young birds, however, are prone to pronounced dis-migration and sometimes travel several hundred kilometers until they settle in another colony.
Albatross are among the most energy efficient flyers. Their high aspect ratio wing is most efficient for long distance gliding. This one banks left rotating its whole body while its head remains level with the horizon, tapping into the horizontal lift component. Bones lock into position requiring no muscle to keep the six foot wing span extended. 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. Ostensibly nomadic wandering over open ocean is actually guided by its remarkable olfactory acuity enabling location of surface forage at upwelling sites. The aerodynamics of Laysan albatross, or mōlī, flight are fascinating, but it is the seemingly effortless, calm beauty, and aerial grace that keeps me enviously watching them for hours.
Roberts Bank Superport is a twin-terminal port facility located on the mainland coastline of the Strait of Georgia in Delta, British Columbia. Opened in 1970 with Westshore Terminals as its only tenant, Roberts Bank was expanded in 1983–84, and in June 1997 opened a second terminal, the GCT Deltaport container facility.
Part of Port Metro Vancouver, Roberts Bank is also known as the Outer Harbour of Canada's busiest port. Westshore is the busiest single coal export terminal in North America and is operated by the Westar Group on a long-term contract. It typically ships over 20 million tonnes of export coal a year and early in 2010 completed a $49-million equipment upgrade, bringing its capacity from 24 million to 29 million tonnes per year.

This picture was taken along the banks for the Scioto River. The textures I used came from Lenabem-Anna and from elineart, for which use I thank them both very much.
