Brant/Brent Goose - Branta bernicla
The brant, or brent goose (Branta bernicla), is a species of goose of the genus Branta. The black brant is a pacific North American subspecies.
It used to be a strictly coastal bird in winter, seldom leaving tidal estuaries, where it feeds on eel-grass (Zostera marina) and the seaweed, sea lettuce (Ulva). On the east coast of North America, the inclusion of sea lettuce is a recent change to their diet, brought about by a blight on eelgrass in 1931. This resulted in the near-extirpation of the brant. The few that survived changed their diet to include sea lettuce until the eelgrass eventually began to return. Brants have maintained this diet ever since as a survival strategy. In recent decades, it has started using agricultural land a short distance inland, feeding extensively on grass and winter-sown cereals. This may be behavior learned by following other species of geese. Food resource pressure may also be important in forcing this change, as the world population increased over 10-fold to 400,000-500,000 by the mid-1980s, possibly reaching the carrying capacity of the estuaries. In the breeding season, it uses low-lying wet coastal tundra for both breeding and feeding. The nest is bowl-shaped, lined with grass and down, in an elevated location, often near a small pond.
The brant goose is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds applies.

Inuksuit (the plural of Inuksuk) serve in a spiritual capacity to indicate a place where life is renewed or where spirits reside; where judgements or decisions are made or where celebrations and festivals are held. Traditionally, they were used by the Inuit in the north as directional markers. An Inukshuk in the shape of a person signifies safety, hope and friendship. These stone sculptures were also important for navigation, as a point of reference, as a marker for hunting grounds, or to denote a food cache.
~ We can observe the Black Tusk too here : The Black Tusk is a stratovolcano and a pinnacle of volcanic rock in Garibaldi Provincial Park of British Columbia, Canada. At 2,319 m above sea level, the upper spire is visible from a great distance in all directions.

Un Inukshuk en forme de personne signifie sécurité, espoir et amitié. Ces sculptures en pierre étaient également importantes pour la navigation, comme point de référence, comme marqueur de terrains de chasse ou pour indiquer une cache de nourriture

Seeing the millions of love locks spread all over this beautiful city one might end up thinking that we live in a world full of love yet we know very well that on this planet the things that we can most find at every step are violence, hate, war, suffering hunger and loneliness.
Does that happen because love itself is nothing but an illusion or because we unconsciously choose to love or even accept the existence of only those people that can wake our senses, those people that have: the same blood, the same skin colour or the same physical and psychological traits and not give a dam about the rest of the world?
Is it really the capacity for love of the human race so limited or we are just allowing discriminating ancestral patterns and fears to control our lives and our feelings?
And if this is the case, will it even change before we ruin our own chances of survival as a specie through this mad pursuit of destroying everyone that is different?
Great Mosque itself has an area of 6400 M2, with capacity 10 thousand worshipers. "Now for the number of poles, was not reached 1000, only 256 poles anyway," he said. Then came word mosque where a thousand pillars? According to Hasan Basri, the Grand Imam of Al Falah mosque to Jambi Independent, the term came from immigrants.

One of the capacities gradually developed by a photographer as time passes by is a "trained" eye for capturing a successful frame ... When you see the scene, it actually calls you to enclose it inside your camera's sensor ...
The two absolutely identical (from a technical - constructive point of view) old, wooden doors stay close to one another forming a formidable mirroring photograph at Nikiforos of Drama's prefecture ... A village of no more than 400 permanent residents but with an extremely interesting variety of old, poor yet architecturally interesting and still absolutely inhabitable if properly maintained dwellings ...
The photograph was taken somewhere around late afternoon hours, without a tripod and with the lowest possible ISO value set on my D90 in order to grasp details as clearly as possible .... Most of my effort was focused in actually framing the scene properly ...

Le lac d'Oô (Òu en occitan gascon moderne) est un lac des Pyrénées de 42 ha et d'une profondeur maximale de 67 m, artificiel depuis la construction d'un barrage sur le lac glaciaire. Il alimente la centrale hydroélectrique d'Oô d'une puissance de 30 MW. Son nom est particulièrement connu par les cruciverbistes.
Oô vient du gascon iu ou èu, « lac de haute montagne » : « lac d'Oô » est donc une répétition sur le plan étymologique.
Avec sa fameuse cascade de près de 300 mètres de haut qui dégringole du lac d'Espingo situé plus haut (1 882 m), le lac d'Oô (1 507 m) fait partie des randonnées incontournables de la vallée d'Astau, en Haute-Garonne dans les Pyrénées.
Malheureusement le ciel était bouché et nous n'avons pu voir les sommets environnants se refléter dans le lac.
Lake Oô (Òu in modern Gascon Occitan) is a lake in the Pyrenees of 42 ha and a maximum depth of 67 m, artificial since the construction of a dam on the glacial lake. It supplies the Oô hydroelectric plant with a capacity of 30 MW. His name is particularly known by cruciverbists.
Oô comes from the Gascon iu or èu, "high mountain lake": "lac d'Oô" is therefore an etymological repetition.
With its famous waterfall almost 300 meters high which tumbles from the lake of Espingo located higher (1,882 m), the lake of Oô (1,507 m) is one of the essential hikes in the Astau valley, in Haute-Garonne in the Pyrenees.
Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and we couldn't see the surrounding peaks reflected in the lake.

This one is not a crop, but if you look closely at the larger version you'll see just how much that ventral groove blubber attached to the lower jaw has been stretched! The pink stripes makes it easy to see how huge it is! Pretty amazing!
There are a number of humpbacks in this shot, but that is not a whale in the foreground, by the way. It's a wave breaking on the shore.
Pingmen or Ping Gate, Suzhou
Due to the account capacity constraints, this account will cease to be updated after 28 June, 2024.

This city gate is called "Pingmen" or "Ping Gate", located in the northwest of the old city of Suzhou. The gate is said to have existed 2,500 years ago, but was blocked until 1928, when it was reconstituted to facilitate the traffic of the nearby railway station outside the city. Then in 1958, when all the walls of the city of Suzhou were demolished, the gate of course ceased to exist.
However, in 2011-2012, the Suzhou municipal authorities rebuilt a section of the city wall at the location of the gate, directly south of the Suzhou railway station, with three arches on the wall, known as the "Ping Gate", and built on top of the wall above the gate an pseudo-ancient city tower, which had never existed at the Pingmen before 1958.

Total capacity is 3,300 billion litres. The lake is currently just under 100% after many years of drought and has not been this full since October, 1996.
This photo was taken at approximately 95% capacity. Two years ago the lake was at 25% capacity and the lowest level ever was 5.3% in April, 2007 exposing many old homes, farms and bridges.
It is now once again a haven for boating enthusiasts who enjoy fishing and water skiing and has greatly revived the economies of the townships that surround the lake who rely on it for survival.
Our annual Harvest Fest for the backyard visitors was a huge success with all.
With four pumpkins, two of them carved, gourds, Indian corn, almonds, pecans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, corn, brazil nuts, hazel nuts and sunflower seed setting the stage, everyone felt like a star whenever a treat or two was discovered.
In case of this chipmunk there's no telling how many treats are packed into those cheeks.
**For those of you who know me, if you saw the squirrel photos yesterday, then you probably guessed chippie shots were next!
