Es ist wirklich unglaublich, wie viel Schnee gerade in Donnstetten liegt! Tiefster Winter herrscht dort, bei uns in Lenningen ist das bisschen Schnee längst vergangen.
Bei Schneetreiben war ich heute unterwegs, nicht einmal diese Bank konnte mich dazu verleiten, ein wenig inne zu halten.
Couldn't think of an adequate story to go with this image. I'm drawn back to what it means to me looking at it. All I could think about was this song. It reminds me of my older brother I guess. Perhaps because I sat alone when photographing this scene, watching the darkness envelope these beautiful mountains and wished I wasn't. It brought back memories of many a late night spent with my older brother when we were teens. I took great comfort and trust in our conversations, his advice and opinion. We talked about everything under the sun and I remember many times sitting together and watching the stars rise high in the skies like a million tiny lanterns. It was my brother who also showed me this song before he left for boot camp. Since then we've both grown up and moved to different states but I think of those nights often when I'm up late.
Here's to
starry skies and memories of long nights... to loved ones who were willing to sit with us in both the cover of darkness and in the beauty of light.
Thank you as always for listening to my ramblings...

"The building is Grade II Listed in part because, "... it is the most architecturally ambitious and accomplished example of the Bank of England's 1960s programme of rebuilding regional branches/bullion centres" and "... it is a good example of the work of Building Design Partnership, the largest of the multi-disciplinary practices operating in the 1960s/70s, marrying engineering complexity and architectural finesse, and it was regarded by BDP as a milestone project for the firm"."
Visiting Banks, Oregon. As far as I know, founders John and Nancy Banks are no kin to me or my Nancy. Welcome sign at city limits.

Banks Peninsula is a peninsula of volcanic origin on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It has an area of approximately 1,150 square kilometres and encompasses two large harbours and many smaller bays and coves. The South Island's largest city, Christchurch, is immediately north of the peninsula.
Banks Peninsula, beside Christchurch, is made up of two extinct basalt volcanoes, Akaroa and Lyttleton. The sea has conveniently eroded into both volcanoes to form quite interesting harbours.
Photo is on the road from Port Levy to Diamond Harbour...looking down on Purau Bay. On the other side of the water is the port of Lyttleton.
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.
Ulley Country Park 25032021 - first bank voles I've seen this year and not in the usual places, plus this one was much more timid than the usual ones I've been watching over the past 4 years - may need a bit of encouragement
There's a wren that works its way along this bank, so while the sun was shining I thought I would sit and wait for it... Well he never showed, but this little chap did instead :)
Part of the South Bank area of the Thames in London as seen from the North Bank, close to Southwark Bridge. On the left is the Tate Modern Gallery, and on the right is the 166.3m tall "Boomerang" tower with the South Bank Tower behind it. It's fair to say that "The Boomerang" divides opinion as to its aesthetic qualities, but to my eyes it's just butt ugly...
Taken on my first proper 'digi' day out, 37218 + 37510 pass Red Bank with 6K73 1500 Sellafield to Crewe flasks.

The bank vole is the UK's smallest vole being only around 10-12 cm long. They live in woodland, hedgerows, parks and gardens. They eat fruit, nuts and small insects, but is particularly keen on hazelnuts and blackberries.
They live in shallow burrows, but may make grassy, round nests above ground if the soil is unsuitable for digging. They have three or four litters a year, each with three to five young. Bank voles do not hibernate.
Wasn't easy to find, or photograph, being a little shy and also very quick, but I'm rather pleased with this image.
