Une ambiance nocturne et glacée.
Deux smartphones.
Deux manières de l'utiliser.
Et de formes de mobilité, car comme le disait Montaigne : "Même l'immobilité n'est qu'un bransle plus languissant" (ou quelque chose d'approchant).
Removing this boat turned out to be a daunting task! Luckily, it was a warm day, so maybe the men welcomed working in the water...
Meanwhile, what may be maddening in circumstances like these (and somewhat universal), two men in a rowboat went by and seemed to enjoy their efforts without offering to help.
What if there was a telephone that allowed you to speak with anyone from the past? Who would you call? This photograph prompted this discussion.
a recently fledged male kingfisher calling to it's parents as to why it has to go fend for itself. It seemed to be doing fairly well, as it perched further upstream and fished for couple of hours quite successfully.
Curlew has really risen up the conservation agenda recently because the population is plummeting, especially in Wales and Northern Ireland, and Britain has the third biggest Curlew population on the planet (after Russia and Finland I think). So if our Curlews disappear like Corncrakes did, the impact will be large on a global scale.
The scientific generic name of Curlew is Numenius, which translates from the Greek for new moon. Hesychius (Greek, 5th or 6th century AD) was the first to describe a bird he called noumenios (neos=new mene=moon) which has been traditionally associated with Curlew because its beak is the shape of a crescent moon. The specific name arquata comes from the Latin word arcuatus, meaning bow-shaped, again from the shape of the bill.
I took this photograph near Holmfirth in the South Pennines where they are still relatively common breeding birds.
This crow appeared to be directing the traffic as he perched on this roof calling out to whoever would listen

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I simply loved the aesthetics of this shot - the rim-lighting, shape and form of the semi-silhouettes and the composition of shadows. Enjoy!
Saltese Wetlands: Yellow-headed Blackbird - Calling in the Wind
3796
This is my 1st uploaded attempt with the new LrC lens blur feature.
I'm not a pixel peeper, but I can see that the bottom right of the bird needed more original focus.
I'd appreciate additional feedback & suggestions, especially when doing LightRoom post with wildlife pix.
Tx! 😁
Saltese Flats was once a nearly thousand-acre lake & was partially drained around 1900 for timothy hay agriculture. The Lake—originally spelled "Seltice" Lake—was named after Chief Andrew Seltice of the Coeur d'Alene tribe, who lived in a home on the west side.
Spokane County purchased 580 acres & began the wetlands restoration process in 2019. The project provides enhanced wildlife habitat, recreation, and strategic water management benefits. The primary goal is to restore the wetlands habitat while increasing late summer water flow into the Spokane River via the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. It has become an important stopover site for migratory waterfowl, as well as a wide variety of other birds and animals that once again call this home.

Urbex B.T
Does this count as Urbex? a rusty old phone box found while out walking the Clydach Gorge. There's not that many of these heavy old fashioned boxes left so hopefully it will be salvaged.
