Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

Nomenclatura
Sinònims
L'aranya vespa (Argiope bruennichi) és una aranya que es troba distribuïda per tot el centre d'Europa, nord d'Europa, nord d'Àfrica i parts d'Àsia. Igual que molts altres membres del gènere Argiope, mostra marques grogues i negres a l'abdomen.L'aranya construeix una teranyina orbe espiral de bon matí o al vespre, normalment en herba llarga una mica per sobre el nivell del terra, i tarda aproximadament una hora. La forma de ziga-zaga prominent anomenada stabilimentum, o decoració de la teranyina, que apareix al centre de l'esfera és de funció incerta, encara que pot ser per atreure insectes.
Quan una presa és atrapada per primera vegada a la teranyina, la immobilitza ràpidament embolicant-la amb seda. llavors pica la presa i se li aplica un verí paralitzador i un enzim de proteïna de dissolució.
El mascle de l'espècie és més petit que la femella. Sovint es pot veure a prop d'una teranyina d'una femella un mascle esperant que completi la seva muda final, moment en el qual s'arriba a la maduresa sexual. En aquest moment la seva mandíbula serà suau durant un temps curt i el mascle pot aparellar-se amb la femella sense el perill de ser menjat.
Aquesta espècie d'aranya va aparèixer en la pel·lícula Arac Attack (Eight Legged Freaks).

Scytodes globula, the Chilean tiger spider, is a predatory spider of the family Scytodidae. In Spanish, it is known as araña tigre, or "tiger spider", but is also well known as "long-legged spider" (because of the disproportional size of those members) or "spitting spider" (because of its hunting methods, in which it projects an extremely sticky web which immobilizes its prey). It has achieved fame by being the only natural predator of the extremely common and dangerous Chilean recluse spider (Loxosceles laeta).Description and habitat
The Chilean tiger spider's size varies from 30 up to 70 mm in the adult state. Its body is small (specially if compared to the size of its legs, which are usually between three and four times the size of its body). It has slow movements and it hunts only at night.
The spider is native to South America (it is more common in Chile, but can be found in other parts of South America, specifically in Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia). It lives mostly inside houses in dark and hidden places such as behind frames, in closets, etc. But it can also be frequently found outdoors under Eucalyptus trees.Hunting method
The hunting method of the Chilean tiger spider is quite characteristic and it is the origin of one of its nicknames, the spitting spider. At night, the spider stealthily approaches its prey and then contracts its abdomen projecting an extremely sticky and resistant spider-web, which imprisons its prey even if it is larger than the spider; then, once the prey is verified to be immobilized, the spider injects its poison, secreted from its second venom gland.
Prey
The Chilean tiger spider preys on flies, mosquitoes, bees, horse-flies, and other insects. However it also eats other kinds of spiders, and it has become famous for being the only natural predator of the common and dangerous recluse spider (Loxosceles laeta).
Webs
The Chilean tiger spider builds barely elaborated spider-webs and only in its refuges.

#Freitagsblümchen
When I walked home after a (negative, hooray!) Corona test (which is still mandatory for certain activities such as seeing your hairdresser) yesterday, I spotted some gorgeous red and pink poppies in a small front garden. And of course I had to take a few photos :) I know that the compositon isn't perfect here, as the poppy's seed head sits almost exactly in the center of the frame (and also slightly to far up). I applied a few different rule of thirds crops, but didn't like any, because there are some small details that I thought were "keep-worthy", such as the soft curve of the petal in the lower right corner, the frilly edge of the petal in the upper left corner, and even the small green spot in the lower left corner which – together with the corresponding green in the aformentioned upper left corner – helps to open the image (well, I think it does). So lots of corner stuff going on here that I think is important for the overall image effect, even though, of course, the main focus is on the seed head ;)
Processed mainly in DXO. Apart from the "usual suspects" such as sharpening, enhancing micro contrast, and DeepPrime denoising, I also applied a split toning effect (sepia and gold) which enhances the tones of the pollen – almost turning it into gold dust – and also adds a pleasant warmth the pink of the petals.
Have a nice and safe weekend ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Als ich gestern von einem für den Friseurbesuch erforderlichen Corona-Test (negativ, hurra!) nach Hause ging, entdeckte ich in einem kleinen Vorgarten wunderschöne rote und rosafarbene Mohnblumen. Da musste ich natürlich ein paar Fotos machen :) Mir ist klar, dass der Bildschnitt hier nicht perfekt ist, denn die Samenkapsel sitzt fast genau in der Mitte des Bildes und ist auch leicht nach oben gerückt. Ich habe auch verschiedene Bildschnitte nach der Drittel-Regel ausprobiert, aber immer fehlte mir in den Ecken dann ein Detail, das ich nicht missen wollte. Selbst die kleine grüne Ecke unten links fand ich behaltenswert, weil sie, zusammen mit dem leicht gerüscht wirkenden Blütenrand oben links dazu beiträgt, das Bild zu öffnen. Auch die weiche Kurve unten rechts, dort, wo die zwei Blütenblätter sich überlappen, fand ich zu schön, um sie wegzuschneiden. Also habe ich beschlossen, das Bild so zu lassen, wie ich es aufgenommen hatte, guter Bildschnitt hin oder her.
Entwickelt wie immer zuerst in DXO (Objektivschärfe, Entrauschen mit DeepPrime und Mikrokontrast). Dieses Mal habe ich in DXO auch mal einen Split-Toning-Effekt (Sepia und Gold) ausprobiert, der, wie ich finde, den Blütenstaub schön betont (sieht jetzt fast wie Goldstaub aus – hoffentlich liest das Rumpelstilzchen hier nicht mit) und dem Rosa der Blüte eine angenehme Wärme verleiht.
Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochende, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Jovan Tomasevic monument (Spomenik Jovanu Tomaševiću) / Bulevar Jovana Tomaševića
Vojislav Vojo Stanic is a Montenegrin sculptor and painter. He was born on February 3, 1924 in Podgorica. He grew up in Niksic, where he finished elementary and high school. He graduated from sculpting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 1951, in the class of professor Alojz Dolinar. At first he enrolled in painting, but immediately moved to sculpture. After graduation, he moved to Herceg Novi and became a professor at the School of Art Crafts.
In 1955, he started painting, and in 1956 he exhibited his first portraits and landscapes in Belgrade and Podgorica. At the beginning of the sixties, he completed his monument to Jovan Tomasevic and thus he officially ceased to deal with sculpture. In 1958 he began to work as a professor of the Higher Pedagogical School at the Department of Visual Education and remained in that position until the school closed in 1965. Thus Stanic became a free artist.
His life in Paris in 1958 and Rome in 1973 and 1974 influenced the formation of his style. His paintings are often set in the Mediterranean, and the characters on them are ordinary, small people. Some paintings depict people on the streets and in the crowd, while others place people lonely in their rooms. He combined realism and surrealism, with elements of fantasy. Critics find similarities with the surrealism of Rene Magritte and the metaphysics of Giorgio de Chirico.
In 1952, Stanic became a member of the Association of Artists of Montenegro. He became a corresponding member of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1977, and a regular member in 1985. Stanic's greatest success was his representation of Montenegro at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997. In the Art Museum of Montenegro in Cetinje, his paintings are part of a permanent exhibition. He has received numerous awards for his painting work.

Suedbahnhotel Semmering, Semmering, Austria
"The original Suedbahnhotel Semmering (also called “Hotel Semmering” or “First Suedbahnhotel”) was the 1st Hotel am Semmering at all and was opened in 1882 at the foot of Pinkenkogel Mountain–at precisely 1000 m above sea level. The Suedbahnhotel am Semmering was one of several grand hotels along the Suedbahn route from Vienna to Triest which were commissioned in order to stimulate the tourism in the respective regions and also the Suedbahn route from the privileged K. u. k. Suedbahngesellschaft. Semmering was already easy to reach at this time through the pioneering accomplishment of the Semmering Railways and was consequently expanded to create a popular holiday and spa resort. Semmering was popular with Viennese society as well as with the multi-national guests from all levels of the royal monarchy. Fin de Siècle and Belle Époche are two eras at the end of the 19th century and/or at the beginning of the 20th century which were characteristic for the Suedbahnhotel Semmering, but not just from social-political and sports history perspectives. A section of the Austrian tourism history also had its start here.
Currently, the opportunity exists to acquire the fairy-tale and spaciously-constructed “Second Suedbahnhotel” in order to be able to continue to develop it with a corresponding usage concept and to be able to sustainably preserve a unique architectural jewel. The Suedbahnhotel Semmering is by no means dead: It is merely sleeping and waiting to be kissed to be awakened..."

Il se relève à ses extrémités en deux pavillons flanqués chacun d'une tourelle carrée en encorbellement, dans lesquels sont percées deux portes d'accès aux cours, fermées par des grilles en fer forgé, portant les armes de la Ville de Paris. Ce corps central et ses deux pavillons sont élargis de chaque côté par une petite aile en retrait de six mètres qui se termine par un pavillon d'angle.
The Paris City Hall, commonly known as the Hôtel de Villea, is the building that has housed the municipal institutions of Paris since 1357.
The main facade, 143 meters long and 18.80 meters high (26.80 meters for that of the corner pavilions and 50 meters for the campanile), includes a central avant-corps corresponding to the ancient monument built during the Renaissance. It rises at its ends into two pavilions, each flanked by a square corbelled turret, in which are pierced two access doors to the courtyards, closed by wrought iron gates, bearing the arms of the City of Paris. This central body and its two pavilions are widened on each side by a small wing set back six meters which ends in a corner pavilion.
The Mugello is a historic region and valley in northern Tuscany, in Italy, corresponding to the course of the River Sieve. It is located to the north of the city of Florence and includes the northernmost portion of the Metropolitan City of Florence. The Futa Pass connects the Mugello valley to the separate Santerno river valley.
History
The Mugello valley was settled by a Ligurian tribe known as the Magelli, hence the name. Then the region was occupied by the Etruscans who left many archaeological traces and who built the first road network of the Mugello.
The subsequent Ancient Roman conquest and colonization of the Mugello region dates back to the 4th century BCE. It is not only testified by several finds such as tombs, coins, and walls, but also, through toponymy, e.g. names of places ending with the praedial suffix -ano (Latin -anus) or -ana: Cerliano, Figliano, Marcoiano, Galliano, Lucignano, etc.
A Mugello road lined with cypress trees
In the Middle Ages the Mugello was home to numerous castles. The Mugello region was later acquired by the Republic of Florence. Several patrician families of the area built villas here, such as those of the Medici including Villa Medicea di Cafaggiolo and Villa Medicea del Trebbio.
Dam across the Sieve at Lake Bilancino
In 1999 a dam was constructed across the Sieve river, forming the reservoir of Lake Bilancino in the Mugello valley.
In popular culture
The Mugello gives its name to the Mugello Circuit (Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello), an automobile race track that hosts an annual Moto GP event, and to the Mugellese chicken, a bantam breed.

Bergfink oder Nordfink (Fringilla montifringilla)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergfink
Der Bergfink oder Nordfink (Fringilla montifringilla) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Unterfamilie der Edelfinken (Fringillinae) innerhalb der Familie der Finken (Fringillidae). Unter den Finken zeigt er das ausgeprägteste Zugverhalten.
Aussehen
Der Bergfink ist mit 15 cm Körperlänge ein etwa sperlingsgroßer Fink. Im Winterhalbjahr zeigt der männliche Bergfink einen bräunlichgrau gefiederten Kopf, Nacken und Vorderrücken. Im Sommerhalbjahr sind diese dagegen schwarz. Brust und Schulterfleck sind orangefarben gefiedert. Am unteren Schwanz sowie am Bauch und an der Hinterbrust befindet sich weißes Gefieder.
Das Weibchen ist deutlich schlichter gefärbt. Es hat einen bräunlichen Kopf, bei dem sich dunkle Streifen auf dem Oberkopf befinden. Braun gefleckt ist auch der Rücken, und die Brust ist deutlich matter orange gefärbt als die des Männchens.
Verbreitung
Der Bergfink grenzt an das Verbreitungsgebiet des Buchfinken an und ist vor allem in den skandinavischen Birkenwäldern beheimatet. Er ist von Norwegen bis nach Kamtschatka verbreitet. In Europa findet man diesen Vogel bis an die südliche Grenze von Norwegen, Mittelschweden, Südfinnland sowie im nördlichen und mittleren Russland. Nur in Ausnahmefällen brüten Bergfinken auch in Mitteleuropa.
In seinem Verbreitungsgebiet ist der Bergfink neben dem Fitis der häufigste Brutvogel. Während der Zugzeit verlässt er sein Brutgebiet vollständig. Er ist dann in Mitteleuropa in den verschiedensten Lebensräumen anzutreffen. Man findet ihn vor allem in Wäldern mit Buchenbeständen. Er ist in dieser Zeit gelegentlich auch an Futterplätzen zu beobachten, wo er mit Vorliebe Sonnenblumenkerne verzehrt.
Brambling
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brambling
The brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It has also been called the cock o' the north and the mountain finch.
Description
The brambling is similar in size and shape to a common chaffinch. Breeding-plumaged male bramblings are very distinctive, with a black head, dark upperparts, orange breast and white belly. Females and younger birds are less distinct, and more similar in appearance to some chaffinches. In all plumages, however, bramblings differs from chaffinches in a number of features:
- brambling has a white rump whereas that of chaffinch is grey-green;
- the breast is orange, contrasting with a white belly on brambling, whereas on chaffinch the underparts of more uniformly coloured (pink or buff);
- brambling's scapular feathers are orange, whereas chaffinch's are grey or grey-brown;
- the flanks are dark-spotted on brambling, plain on chaffinch;
- bramblings lack the white outer tail feathers of chaffinch.
An additional difference for all plumages except breeding-plumaged males is the bill colour - yellow in brambling, dull pinkish in chaffinch (breeding-plumaged male bramblings have black bills, chaffinches in the corresponding plumage have grey bills)
Local villagers have lived along the Sepik for many millennia and the river has formed the basis for food, transport and culture. There are at least 100 distinct villages and hamlets along the river. From the headwaters to the mouth, the Sepik flows through the territories of spoken of dozens of Sepik languages, each corresponding to one or more culture regions of related villages that exhibit similar social characteristics. The largest language and culture group along the river is the Iatmul people (Wikipedia).
♂️ Piranga flava, now Piranga lutea
(Tooth-billed Tanager / Cardenal Montañero)
Taken in La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

Blackpoll Warblers hold the record for the longest overwater flight for a songbird. Using a tiny light level geolocator biologists have proven that Blackpoll Warblers fly an average of 2540 km (1800 miles) non-stop over an average of 62 hours, up to 3 days, corresponding to about 41 km/h. They fly ovver the Atlantic Ocean to reach their wintering grounds in Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, and South America.
The birds in Alaska fly the farthest of any of the Blackpoll Warblers to reach their breeding grounds and actually have developed longer wings to help them get to their wintering grounds faster.

The Zwinger (German: Dresdner Zwinger, IPA: [ˈdʁeːzdnɐ ˈt͡svɪŋɐ]) is a palatial complex with gardens in Dresden, Germany. Designed by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, it is one of the most important buildings of the Baroque period in Germany. Along with the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger is the most famous architectural monument of Dresden.
The name "Zwinger" goes back to the name used in the Middle Ages for a fortress part between the outer and inner fortress walls, even though the Zwinger no longer had a function corresponding to the name at the start of construction.

The House Goldschmieding is a former noble seat on the urban area of Castrop-Rauxel. Its origins lie in a knighthood from the 13th century, whose name is composed of the Middle High German terms "gholt" for "wood" or "at the forest" and "smedinc" for "forge."
In the last quarter of the 16th century, the house was completely redesigned in the style of the Lipperenaissance by its owners and presents itself today - in a reduced form - as a simple plaster building, which is used as a restaurant.
In conjunction with the knight Lambert von Gholtsmedinc, Haus Goldschmieding was first mentioned in 1275 as the boundary of the archbishop's Recklinghausen against the counts von der Mark. At that time it was a defensible house surrounded by a countryside, located on an island. The corresponding foreshore was also located on its own island and was connected to the main island via a bridge.
At the end of the 14th century the property came to the family of Alstede, followed by the family of Asbeck. Only a little later the property was owned by William of the Ovelacker. After the hereditary daughter of Goldschmieding, Anna Margaretha von Ovelacker, married Johann von Schell zu Rechen in 1583, Haus Goldschmieding moved into the possession of the lords of Schell, who had their ancestral seat in the house of Rechen near Bochum. Jürgen Christoph von Schell (1619-1677) became the patron of the small Protestant congregation in Castrop. He enabled her to celebrate Evangelical Lutheran worship in the Knight's Hall. In the second half of the 16th century, the Protestant congregation had been able to celebrate its divine service at Bladenhorst Castle, but after its castle lord Philipp Arnold von Viermundt (also called "Philipp von Viermundt der Jüngere") turned to the Reformed Church, this was no longer possible there.
The Basilica and Convent of San Francisco, is a Catholic basilica that stands in the middle of the historic center of Quito. The structure is the largest architectural complex within the historic centers of all of South America. San Francisco is considered a jewel of continental architecture for its mixture of different styles combined throughout more than 150 years of construction. Inside the church there are more than 3,500 works of colonial art, of multiple artistic manifestations and varied techniques, especially those corresponding to the Colonial Quito School of Art, which was born precisely in this place.

The internal part and design of German Fountain's dome, Istanbul, Turkey
The German Fountain is a gazebo styled fountain in the old hippodrome, Istanbul, Turkey.
German fountain was presented as a gift for Sultan Abdülhamid II by German Emperor Wilhelm II. It was built in Germany, then was transported piece by piece and was assembled in Hippodrome - Istanbul in 1900. German Fountain of Wilhelm II was built in neo-byzantine architecture style. Fountain's octagonal dome has eight blue porphyry columns, and dome's interior is covered with golden mosaics.The rock porphyry is from Ancient Greek (πορφύρα porphúra) and means "purple". Purple was the color of royalty, and the "imperial porphyry" was a deep purple igneous rock with large crystals of plagioclase. Some authors claimed the rock was the hardest known in antiquity. "Imperial" grade porphyry was thus prized for monuments and building projects in Imperial Rome and later. Porphyry typically has hardness 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, corresponding to steel and quartz.
According to wikipedia, The Hippodrome of Constantinople (Greek: Ἱππόδρομος τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, translate. Hippódromos tēs Kōnstantinoupóleōs) was a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today it is a square named Sultanahmet Meydanı (Sultan Ahmet Square) in the Turkish city of Istanbul, with a few fragments of the original structure surviving.
The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos (ἵππος), horse, and dromos (δρόμος), path or way. For this reason, it is sometimes also called Atmeydanı ("Horse Square") in Turkish. Horse racing and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine era.
