CANARY WHARF AND THE DOCKS
View allAll Photos Tagged Canary
Canary Wharf is located on the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs. From 1802 to 1939, the area was one of the busiest docks in the world. After the 1960s, the port industry began to decline, leading to all the docks being closed by 1980.

A Canary Island endemic, closely related to the Lulworth Skipper which is quite widespread across Europe - this pristine male was spotted on a rough grassy track in the steep-sided Barranco de la Vega near Las Mercedes in the Anaga Mountains in the north east of Tenerife (0232).
… the fish market, together with Spitalfields and Smithfield markets, is in danger of moving further East to Barking Riverside. The North Dock of Canary Wharf has become too valuable a property I gather…
Canary Springs, the largest spring at Mammoth Hot Springs. Canary Spring is named for its bright yellow colors.
The white sections are the travertine forms and the orange, yellowish, and brown colors are due to the cyanobacteria living in the springs. The water flowing down the face of the terrace has created multi-colored bands of algae and cyanobacteria.
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!

London Scenes - various
As the title infers, these will be slices of London, hopefully including every aspect of life. Including Architecture, Sculpture, People, Graffiti, Transport and pretty much everything I have seen over the past 10 to 15 years of photography.
The upper terraces at Canary Springs which is part of Mammoth Hot Springs are composed of calcium carbonate. The terraces are colored by orange, yellows and cream colored thermophilic organisms. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.

I found that Photoshop made a better job of stitching the images than Lightroom.

The Canary Islands chiffchaff (Phylloscopus canariensis) is a small leaf warbler endemic to the Canary Islands. Local residents often call it the "mosquitero" because of its active habit of hunting insects.
Appearance and Voice
This bird is roughly 10–11 cm long and resembles the common chiffchaff but has a longer bill, shorter wings, and a longer tail.
Coloration:
It features brownish-green upperparts, buffy-yellow underparts, and a prominent long eyebrow (supercilium).
Song:
Its voice is similar to the common chiffchaff but faster and more "explosive". Palmeros on La Palma sometimes call it "chivi-chivi" after its distinctive song.
Behavior and Diet
Unlike its migratory relatives, this species is sedentary, staying on the islands year-round.
Feeding:
Primarily an insectivore, it hunts by flitting through foliage or hovering to catch prey.
Nectarivory:
Unusually for a warbler, it frequently feeds on the nectar of endemic Canary plants like the Canary bellflower, acting as an important pollinator.
Habitat and Subspecies
The species occupies nearly every habitat from coastal gardens and urban parks to pine forests above 2,000 meters.
P. c. canariensis:
The "Western" subspecies, found on Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro.
P. c. exsul:
The "Eastern" subspecies (Lanzarote chiffchaff), which is now considered extinct, with no reliable records since the late 20th century.
Nesting
It breeds between January and July. The female builds an oven-shaped nest (ball-like with a side entrance) from dry grass and moss, often hidden in trees, palms, or bushes. This shape has earned it the nickname "hornero" (oven-maker) on some islands.
