Hormuz Island, Hormozgān Province - Persian Gulf, Iran
© Vafa Nematzadeh. All rights reserved. Thank you very much for your visits, faves and comments here.
Hormuz Island is an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf. Located in the Strait of Hormuz, 5 miles off the Iranian coast, the island is part of Hormozgān Province.
Based on the studies geology, Hormuz island was born in 600 million years ago and also about 50 thousand years ago coming out of the water.
Hormuz Island has an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). It is covered by sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material on its surface. The highest point of the island is about 186 metres (610 ft) above sea level. Due to a lack of precipitation, the soil and water are salty. Specialists have helped cultivar white mangrove or Hara trees to grow in the climate. There are many virgin beaches that go all around the island.
Every moment travel on Hormuz island is like traveling on another planet and every 5 minutes hiking on the island, scenery and colors quickly changes! The island of Hormuz is where the warm waters of the Persian Gulf meet the red and silver sand of the island and create a marvelous combination of colors. Therefore Hormuz an island that can be called the "Rainbow Island".
You can see a part of the amazing "Valley of the Statues" and the "Strait of Hormuz" in Persian Gulf of this photo.
About ..Valley of the Statues:
This stunningly beautiful natural site is called "Valley of the Statues" because here tall rocks have been sculpted into strange shapes by the elements. With a bit of imagination you can see a dragon, birds and mythical creatures. The site is located on a bluff that affords fantastic vistas of the coastline.
>>> COOPER
We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.

I joined a photo class in San Francisco, this time as a student instead of an instructor. We started at the Ferry Terminal and walked along the Embarcadero. Instructor Jerry Downs had some fun jumping into a puddle of water at Pier 14.
I processed a balanced HDR photos from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves.

"Comment perfectionner cette photo d'escalier ?", me demandais-je alors que le Lutin d'Ecouves, la Mutine d'Ecouves et moi-même nous étions mis en quête d'une terrasse où siroter quelque chose de frais ?
Et parfois, les habits de vos compères du jour font tout à votre place !
Merci au Lutin d'Ecouves (allez voir son Flickr !!) et à la Mutine d'Ecouves pour avoir daigné poser pour moi, suivre mes instructions, et sans se plaindre, malgré la belle chaleur qui s'est installée depuis plusieurs semaines sur ma douce Normandie !

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
There is a large herd of about 50 or more deer on the Lagoon Creek reserve.
Deer – Chital
Scientific name - Cervus axis
Other common names - Chital deer, Axis deer, Indian spotted deer.
Origin - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka
Distinctive characteristics - White throat patch and white spots. Dark dorsal stripe and band over muzzle. Noticeably long tail compared with other deer species.
Identification - Feral chital deer are a small-medium sized species. Their coat colour is variable, but is often dark to rusty red with uniformly marked white spots in lines along the body. They have a distinctive white throat patch and a dark muzzle. The coat colour of the inner legs and underside of the belly is white-beige. This species is often found in medium to large groups. Mature males have antlers that are smooth and slender with usually three tines on each, though the number of tines is influenced by animal condition. Antlers may be 70-89 cm in length. Males are larger in size and weight (90 cm and 85 kg) than females (80cm and 60 kg). Chital have a distinctive high-pitch alarm call when disturbed. Scats are small cylindrical pellets sometimes with an indentation at one end.
History and Biology - Chital deer were initially introduced to Australia from Sri Lanka and India in 1802 but did not survive. They were later successfully released into Queensland in the 1860's. Chital deer are herbivores that browse on a variety of grasses, fruit and leaves. They are gregarious and can form groups of more than 100 individuals. They do not have a defined breeding season, and are capable of producing three offspring in two years. Chital deer will eat their shed antlers if their diet is lacking the vitamins and minerals. Females will separate from the herd during birthing and rearing of young.
Distribution - Feral chital deer occur in many areas throughout Queensland, small areas in NSW, Victoria and the south-east of South Australia. They are absent from other regions.
Habitat - They can be found in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands, open and closed woodlands, thick forests and heavily timbered farmland.
Damage - Feral chital deer are a growing pest threat. They can cause significant browsing damage to native vegetation, damage sensitive habitats and compete with livestock for pasture. They can damage forestry plantations and ornamental gardens. They are not often found in close proximity to humans but they do present a serious motorway hazard. Feral chital deer may carry and spread livestock diseases that can cause production losses and increased management costs.

Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
Scientific Name: Calidris acuminata
The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is the most dinky-di of all migratory shorebirds that visit Australia, carrying the rich ochre colours of the red centre in the plumage on its head and back. It is also finely tuned into Australiaâs boom-and-bust ecology â in years of inland floods, few birds travel to our southern shores, preferring, instead, to gorge on the banks of inland floodplains, such as the Diamantina. This way, they save themselves travelling thousands of kilometres. They are the international guest star in the festival of the living desert.
Description: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a medium sized wader with a straight black bill that has an olive-grey base. It has a chestnut crown and nape, a white eyebrow, and reddish brown upperparts, with each feather having a black centre. The rump and tail are black, with white outer margins visible in flight. The wings have an indistinct white bar. The breast and flanks are white, streaked and speckled black, with a reddish brown tinge on the chest, grading into a white belly and undertail. The legs are olive. This species is commonly seen with other waders during its migration from northern breeding grounds.
Similar Species: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is very similar to most other sandpipers, especially the Pectoral Sandpiper, C. melanotos, but may be distinguished from this species by having no clearcut division between the breast and belly markings, olive (rather than yellow) legs, and a chestnut (rather than dark) head.
Distribution: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a summer migrant from Arctic Siberia, being found on wetlands throughout Australia. It is also found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and New Zealand. It is a vagrant to India, Europe, western North America, Fiji and other parts of the central Pacific region.
Habitat: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper prefers the grassy edges of shallow inland freshwater wetlands. It is also found around sewage farms, flooded fields, mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and beaches. Its breeding habitat in Siberia is the peat-hummock and lichen tundra of the high Arctic.
Feeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper feeds on aquatic insects and their larvae, as well as worms, molluscs, crustaceans and sometimes, seeds. It is often found in large flocks, often with other waders, foraging in shallow waters.
Breeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper breeds in the short Siberian summer (June to August). Its nest is a well-hidden shallow hollow on the ground, lined with grass and leaves. The female incubates the eggs and raises the young alone.

Période de nourrissage chez le busard cendré.
J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à l'affût pour photographier ce busard en vol. En période de nourrissage, il peut rester de longs moments près des petits puis repartir en chasse. L'approche est très rapide, le busard cendré se pose vite dans les blés, ne restant que de trop brèves secondes devant l'objectif.
Bonne journée à tous.

Period of feeding in the montagu's harrier.
I spent a lot of time on the lookout for to photograph the harrier in volume In the period of feeding, it can remain for long periods of time close to small then go hunting. The approach is very fast, the harrier arose quickly in the wheat, being that all too brief seconds in front of the lens.

Período de alimentación en el aguilucho cenizo.
Me pasé un montón de tiempo en el puesto de observación para fotografiar el aguilucho en volumen En el periodo de lactancia, puede permanecer por largos períodos de tiempo cerca de la pequeña, a continuación, ir de caza. El enfoque es muy rápido, el aguilucho se levantó rápidamente en el trigo, siendo que todos demasiado breves segundos en frente de la lente.
Buen día a todos.

Periode van voeding in de grauwe kiekendief.
Ik besteed veel tijd op de uitkijk voor om de foto van de kiekendief in het volume in de periode van het voeden, het kan blijven voor langere tijd dicht bij kleine dan gaan jagen. De aanpak is zeer snel, de kiekendief ontstond al snel in de tarwe, wordt dat maar al te korte seconden in de voorkant van de lens.
Goede dag allemaal.

Buona giornata a tutte.
