“The Lord will appear with a golden complexion, and His beautifully constructed body will resemble molten gold. Sandalwood pulp will be smeared over His body. He will take the sannyasa order, and will be self-controlled. He will be fixed in devotional service, and will spread the chanting of the holy names.”

 

-Mahabharata

One of the photos I am editing for a friend on Picnickers. I hope she likes them. I did a lot of cloning with this pic. I removed a lot of bird poo from the tracks and cropped the shot. Then I started removing lines on her face. Under her eyes, by her nose and on her chin. I also evened out her complexion and softened her look. I then enhanced her tan and brightened her hair, eyes, ring, nails and the background. Then I decided to go a little more dramatic and go for a dramatic sepia with some desaturation and a vignette. I then brightened it a little. I hope it turned out alright. original can be found here in (Mama)teur's photostream:

Garza real (Ardea cinérea)

•Familia: Ardeidos – Ardeidae

•Aspecto: Garza grande, de complexión robusta, predominantemente de color gris, con un pico recto, fuerte, en forma de daga. Las garzas pueden diferenciarse de las grullas durante el vuelo, y a menudo también cuando están de pie, por la forma en que encorvan su cuello.

•Tamaño: Largo 84-102 cm, envergadura alar 155-175 cm, peso 930-1.150 g.

•Nido: Una gran pila desarreglada de ramas, generalmente construido muy alto en un abeto o pino. Las aves pueden usar el mismo nido durante muchos años.

•Reproducción: Pone 6 huevos en mayo, incubados de forma alternada por los padres, en 4 a 6 períodos, durante 25 a 28 días. Las aves jóvenes aprenden a volar aproximadamente a los 50 días. Muchas garzas reales anidan en colonias.

•Distribución: Ave migratoria de verano que se reproduce poco en Finlandia (solo hay alrededor de 100 parejas). En los últimos años, los avistamientos de invierno se han vuelto más comunes.

•Migración: Pasa el invierno en el oeste y sur de Europa. La migración de otoño puede tener lugar entre mediados de agosto y principios de noviembre, y las aves regresan de marzo a mayo.

•Alimentación: Acecha inmóvil a lo largo de costas, lista para emboscar, en espera de que peces y animales acuáticos pequeños estén a su alcance.

•Sonidos: Un chillido fuerte, molesto, similar al llamado de la pagaza piquirroja.

La garza real tiene partes superiores de color gris claro, y partes inferiores de color blanco grisáceo. Su cabeza es mayormente blanca, excepto por una raya negra que se extiende desde encima de sus ojos hasta la parte posterior de su cuello, donde algunas de sus plumas se alargan para formar una cresta. Los adultos con plumaje de apareamiento pueden tener un color rosáceo a los lados del cuello, y algunas filas de rayas oscuras en el cuello y el pecho. La garza real tiene el pico de color amarillo o naranja amarillento, patas de color marrón opaco e iris amarillo.

Las aves inmaduras generalmente se parecen a las adultas, pero su capuchón y su cuello son más grises (y el cuello no tiene color rosáceo). Su pico es más pardusco y el iris es blanco.

Somormujo lavanco

(Podiceps cristatus)

Inconfundible por su largo cuello, es el mayor integrante de la familia de los zampullines y somormujos en España. Presenta un estereotipado cortejo nupcial, época en la que su plumaje adquiere un llamativo diseño facial, con penachos y expansiones de plumas muy característicos. Habitante habitual de una gran variedad de humedales, incluidos embalses y otros enclaves artificiales, esta ave acuática puede ser observada en nuestro país tanto en el periodo de cría como durante la invernada.

Descripción y Clasificación

Orden Podicipediformes; familia Podicipedidae

Longitud 46-51 cm. Envergadura 85-90 cm.

Identificación

El mayor de los somormujos y zampullines que pueden verse en España, con el tamaño de un ánade grande. Se trata de un ave elegante, de cuello estilizado, pico largo y apuntado, y cuerpo alargado. En verano luce un plumaje vistoso, con la parte superior de la cabeza negra, en la que destacan dos grupos de plumas a modo de penachos (dibujo 1). De las mejillas salen plumas llamativas, alargadas, de tonos rojizos y negros. La zona que rodea los ojos es blanca, al igual que el cuello, el pecho y el vientre, lo que contrasta con el dorso oscuro y los flancos rojizos. En plumaje invernal llama mucho menos la atención (dibujo 2), con un tono general oscuro en el dorso y los laterales, aunque presenta el cuello, la cabeza (excepto el píleo oscuro) y las partes inferiores de color blanco. Con cualquier plumaje, el largo cuello constituye un buen rasgo diagnóstico. En vuelo se observa su esbelta complexión, con su largo cuello estirado, y su batir rápido de alas hace ver las zonas alares blancas a modo de destellos.

No existen diferencias entre sexos. Los juveniles resultan similares a los adultos en invierno, aunque poseen en la cara un dibujo de líneas negras

que los distingue.

Canto

El somormujo lavanco emite sonidos de varias sílabas, ásperos y variados, alternados en secuencia: grhee-ghagha.

Busardo ratonero

(Buteo buteo)

Probablemente, la clave del éxito de una de las rapaces más abundantes de Europa sea la absoluta falta de especialización en cualquiera de las facetas de su biología. En efecto, el busardo ratonero es un ave acomodaticia, que puede reproducirse satisfactoriamente en infinidad de hábitats y de climas, que preda sobre un espectro amplísimo de la fauna local y que manifiesta una notable tolerancia hacia el hombre y las modificaciones que este

impone en el medio.

Descripción y Clasificación

Orden Falconiformes; familia Accipitridae

Longitud 46-58 cm. Envergadura 110-132 cm.

Identificación

Es una rapaz de mediano tamaño, complexión robusta y coloración muy variable, que posee un aspecto bastante rechoncho cuando se la observa posada. En vuelo exhibe unas alas relativamente cortas y muy anchas y una cola no demasiado larga, que frecuentemente despliega en abanico, gracias a lo cual el ave puede practicar

durante largo rato un vuelo sostenido que alterna con cernidos ocasionales. Su plumaje presenta numerosas variaciones individuales, por lo que se pueden observar desde individuos muy claros hasta ejemplares bastante oscuros. No obstante, la coloración más típica del adulto es de un tono marronáceo bastante homogéneo en las regiones dorsales y ligeramente más clara en las ventrales, donde aparece una franja pectoral blanquecina de desigual extensión (dibujo 1). En vuelo se hacen patentes unas amplias manchas relativamente claras —muy barradas— coincidentes con las rémiges primarias y secundarias en su cara ventral. Las alas muestran el borde posterior recorrido por una banda oscura, al igual que la cola, que puede aparecer variablemente barrada (dibujo 2). El joven presenta las partes inferiores de desiguales tonos marrones y las coberteras dorsales con bordes pálidos; además, su cola está finamente barrada, pero carece de la ancha banda terminal propia de los adultos. Visto ventralmente, no se aprecia con nitidez el reborde posterior oscuro de las alas, y tanto estas como el cuerpo dan la sensación de estar más estriados que barrados. Finalmente, a diferencia de los adultos, que poseen el iris de color oscuro, el del joven es bastante claro.

Canto

En vuelo emite con frecuencia un grito característico parecido a un maullido: piiiii aaaa.

Horace King (sometimes Horace Godwin) (September 8, 1807 – May 28, 1885) was an American architect, engineer, and bridge builder.

 

King is considered the most respected bridge builder of the 19th century Deep South, constructing dozens of bridges in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.

 

Born into slavery in South Carolina in 1807, King became a prominent bridge architect and construction manager in the Chattahoochee River Valley region of Alabama and Georgia before purchasing his freedom in 1846. He went on to construct lattice truss bridges in the style of Ithiel Town at every major crossing of the Chattahoochee River and over every major river in the Deep South between the Oconee and Tombigbee.

 

King served as a Republican member of the Alabama House of Representatives from 1868 to 1872.

 

Early career

 

Horace King was born as a slave in the Cheraw District of South Carolina, in present-day Chesterfield County, in 1807. King's ancestry was primarily African and Catawba, with contemporary biographer F.L. Cherry describing his complexion as showing more "Indian blood than any other."

 

Records indicate King spent his first 23 years near his birthplace, with his first introduction to bridge construction in 1824. In 1824, bridge architect Ithiel Town came to Cheraw to assist in the construction of a bridge over the Pee Dee River. While it is unknown whether King assisted in the construction of this bridge or its replacement span built in 1828, Town's lattice truss design used in both Pee Dee bridges became a hallmark of King's future work.

 

When King's master died around 1830, King was sold to John Godwin, a contractor who also worked on the Pee Dee bridge. In 1832, Godwin received a contract to construct a 560-foot (170-m) bridge across the Chattahoochee River from Columbus, Georgia into Girard, Alabama (today Phenix City). He and King moved to Girard that year to work on the project, which was completed in 1833 This bridge was the first known to be built by King, who likely planned the construction of the bridge and managed the slave laborers who built the span.

 

Rise to prominence

 

Between the completion of the "Godwin-King Bridge" in Columbus in 1833 and the early 1840s, King and Godwin partnered on no fewer than eight major construction projects throughout the South. The partners constructed some forty cotton warehouses in Apalachicola, Florida in 1834, the courthouses of Muscogee County, Georgia and Russell County, Alabama from 1839-1841, and bridges in West Point, Georgia (1838), Eufaula, Alabama (1838-39), Florence, Georgia (1840), and Columbus (1841), replacing their original span which had been destroyed in a flood in 1838. By 1840, King was being publicly acknowledged as being a "co-builder" along with his master, an uncommon honor for a slave. In the 1840s, King's prominence eclipsed that of his master, and he worked independently as architect and superintendent of major bridge projects in Wetumpka, Alabama and Columbus, Mississippi. While working on the Eufaula bridge, King met Tuscaloosa attorney and entrepreneur Robert Jemison, Jr., who soon began using King on a number of different projects in Lowndes County, Mississippi, including the 420-foot (130-m) Columbus, Mississippi bridge, and who would remain King's friend and associate for the rest of his life.

 

Freedom

 

Horace King used bridge-building techniques to design the spiral staircase in the Alabama State Capitol so that a central support was not required.

 

Despite his enslavement, King was allowed a significant income from his work and, in 1846, used some of his earnings to purchase his freedom from Godwin. However, under Alabama law of the time, a freed slave was only allowed to remain in the state for a year after manumission. Robert Jemison, who served in the Alabama State Senate, arranged for the state legislature to pass a special law giving King his freedom and exempting him from the manumission law. In 1852, King used this freedom to purchase land near his former master.

 

When Alabama State Capitol burned, and King was hired to construct the framework of the new capitol building, as well as design and build the double spiral entry staircases. King used his knowledge of bridge-building to cantilever the stairs' support beams so that the staircases appeared to "float", without any central support.

 

Around 1855, King formed a partnership with two other men to construct a bridge, known as "Moore's Bridge" over the Chattahoochee between Newnan and Carrollton, Georgia, near Whitesburg. Instead of collecting a fee for his work, King took stock instead, gaining a one-third interest in the bridge. King soon moved his family to Carroll County, adjacent to the bridge, though continued to maintain his home in Girard. The income from Moore's bridge allowed King a steady income, though he continued to design and construct major bridge projects through the remainder of the 1850s, including a major bridge in Milledgeville, Georgia and a second Chattahoochee crossing in Columbus, Georgia.

 

War times

 

King was conscripted to assist in the construction of Confederate ironclads, including this ship, the CSS Muscogee.

 

As the US Civil War approached in 1860, King, like many blacks in the South, opposed secession of the Southern states and was a confirmed Unionist. After the outbreak of hostilities, King attempted to continue his business as an architect and builder, constructing a factory and a mill in Coweta County, Georgia and a bridge in Columbus, Georgia. While working on the Columbus bridge, King was conscripted by Confederate authorities to build obstructions in the Apalachicola River, 200 miles (320 km) south of Columbus to prevent a naval attack on that city. After completing the obstructions on the Apalachicola, King was tasked to construct defenses on the Alabama River before returning to Columbus in 1863.

 

By this time, Columbus had become a major shipbuilding city for the Confederacy, and King and his men were assigned to assist construction of naval vessels at the Columbus Iron Works and Navy Yard. In 1863-64, King constructed a rolling mill for the Iron Works, providing cladding for Confederate ironclad warships. King's crews also provided lumber and timbers for the Navy Yard, and was at least peripherally involved with the construction of the CSS Muscogee.

 

As the war approached its end in 1864, many of King's bridges were destroyed by Union troops, including Moore's Bridge, which King owned. Raiders under Union general James H. Wilson assaulted Columbus in April of 1865, burning all of King's bridges in the city, including the one he had finished less than two years earlier.

 

King and Reconstruction

 

The destruction of the war led to new opportunities for King. Within six months after the war's end, King and a partner had constructed a 32,000 ft² (3,000 m²) cotton warehouse in Columbus and King had—for the third time—rebuilt the original Godwin-King bridge. Over the next three years, King would construct three more bridges across the Chattahoochee in Columbus, a major bridge in West Point, Georgia, two large factories, and the Lee County, Alabama courthouse.

 

When the Reconstruction Acts were implemented in 1867, King became a registrar for voters in Russell County, Alabama. Later that year, he attempted to establish a colony of freedmen in Georgia. While that plan was unsuccessful, King went on to be elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1868 as a Republican representing Russell County. King, though, busy in his construction business in Columbus, did not take his seat until over a year later, in November of 1869. King remained a reluctant legislator, voting only 78% of the time and proposing only three bills—none of which became law. Despite his lethargy, King was reelected in 1870, proposing no bills in the 1870-71 session and only five in the 1871-72 session, one of which—a prohibition on the sale of alcohol in Hurtsboro, Alabama—became law. King did not seek reelection in 1872.

 

Final years

 

After King left the Alabama legislature in 1872, he moved to LaGrange, Georgia. While in LaGrange, King continued building bridges, but also expanded to include other construction projects, specifically businesses and schools. By the mid-1870s, King had begun to pass on his bridge construction activities to his five children, who formed the King Brothers Bridge Company. King's health began failing in the 1880s, and he died on May 28, 1885 in LaGrange.

 

King received laudatory obituaries in each of Georgia's major newspapers, a rarity for African-Americans in the 1880s South. He was remembered both for his engineering skill and for his character and ability to bridge the gap between the races.
