The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565

I took this for work the other day.
I think it captures the movement of the machine and the care and skill of the operator... more than I hoped for.
Chuffed with it :)
a small, compact heron closely associated with warm, shallow freshwater habitats. It favors reedbeds, marshes, flooded meadows, slow-flowing rivers, lake edges, fishponds, and rice fields where dense vegetation provides cover for feeding and nesting. In Romania, the species is most strongly linked to the Danube Delta, one of Europe’s most important wetland complexes, but it is also found along the lower Danube, in southern lowland wetlands, and locally around lakes and managed fishponds. During the breeding season it often nests colonially, sometimes alongside other herons, building nests in reeds, shrubs, or low trees close to water.
In terms of distribution, the Squacco Heron is a migratory species in Romania, arriving from its wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa in late April or May and departing by September. Romania represents an important part of its European breeding range, particularly in the southeast. The species is easily recognized in breeding plumage by its pale buff head and neck, creamy back, and contrasting white wings visible in flight. Outside the breeding season, it becomes much browner and more cryptic, blending well into reedbeds. Although locally common in suitable habitats such as the Danube Delta, the Squacco Heron remains dependent on the conservation of wetlands and stable water levels for its continued presence in Romania.
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Review

Als diese Kamera 1981 erschien, war sie die kompakteste Kleinbildkamera der Welt mit Motor und Belichtungs-Vollautomatik. Auch das Gehäuse-Design war richtungsweisend und das Prinzip des motorisch versenkbaren Objektivs mit Schutzabdeckung bewährt sich auch im digitalen Zeitalter. Betätigt wird dieser Mechanismus durch einen vertikalen Schiebeschalter, der bei geschlossener Linse auch den Sucher verdeckt. Das Solinar ist ein Vierlinser mit der Lichtstärke 2,8 und der Brennweite 39 mm. Die Entfernung wird manuell eingestellt - Nahgrenze 1 m. Die Programmautomatik steuert den Verschluss von 1/45 bis 1/1250 Sekunde und die Blende von 2,8 bis 22.
Es gibt ein passendes Blitzgerät, das seitlich angeflanscht werden kann (wie bei der Olympus XA). Der Filmtransport-Motor schafft ungefähr 1 Bild pro Sekunde. Der Messbereich geht von 25 bis 400 ASA, im Sucher wird ausreichendes Licht durch ein grünes Signal angezeigt, sonst rot.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch zwei AAA-Batterien.
Offensichtlich war die Agfa compact als Fortführung der Optima sensor electronic-Reihe gedacht, denn man nannte sie zuerst "Optima 935 sensor". Weil sie aber doch auf einem völlig neuen Konzept beruhte, verzichtete Agfa auf die namentliche Integration in die ältere Reihe – sie hieß nun einfach "Agfa compact".
Dieses feine Gerät war übrigens die letzte in Deutschland entwickelte und hergestellte Agfa-Kamera.

This was a tiny nymph walking along a fence rail. Such funny proportions! Possibly Rhyparochromidae?
