The photo was taken in the early February in 2019. It was very cold that year. Most of the Niagara Falls were frozen except horseshoe falls which flows forever. Got up early from the falls view hotel (missed that experience for the whole 2020), walking along the Niagara Pkwy in a freezing cold winter, I could feel the mist and the sprays from the horseshoe falls … The Niagara river was covered with the thick ice, I did not see like this in several years. But the power flow from the horseshoe falls was still on… it never stops! I wanted to shoot the sunrise, but the sun was blocked behind the clouds, very light morning colors. It was hard to take LE photos at -28C. The camera battery dropped quickly; the lens was covered with vapor… so difficult to capture the photos in that weather condition… Camera went on strike... My fingers hurt, no feeling, numb... itchy, then back to have feeling :))
Now stay-at-home order is still couple of days more in effect, plan to go there soon once the ban is lifted, hope to capture something new in the early morning!
Have a safe and wonderful Friday and weekend!

Commémoration de la reddition sans condition de l'Allemagne nazie le 8 mai 1945.
Commemoration of the surrender without condition of nazi Germany on May the 8th 1945.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
☛ An Oldsmobile 1958 and a Chevrolet 1948 facing Parque John Lennon in the Vedado neighborhood. Vedado is bordered to the east by Central Havana district and west by the Miramar district, just north of Plaza de la Revolución, the central administrative division of the Cuban government. In early colonial times, it was forbidden to build on these lands to be able to see at far the enemy fleets coming. Hence the name of Vedado, which means forbidden in Spanish.
☛ Une Oldsmobile 1958 et une Chevrolet 1948 face au Parque John Lennon dans le quartier Vedado. Vedado est bordé à l'est par le celui de La Havane Centrale et à l'ouest par le Miramar, juste au nord de la Plaza de la Revolución, chef-lieu du gouvernement cubain. Au début de la période coloniale, il était interdit de construire sur ces terrains afin de voir venir de loin toute flotte ennemie. D’où le nom de Vedado, qui signifie interdit en espagnol.

En los primeros tiempos de la colonia, que estaba prohibido construir en estas tierras para ser capaz de ver en el momento las flotas enemigas que viene. De ahí el nombre del Vedado, lo que significa prohibido en español.
I loved this old stone bridge over the river Gairn in the Scottish Cairngorms, but even more I loved the traffic sign depicting its dangers ... ;) :D
This single-arched rubble-built bridge, which crosses the River Gairn just north of Gairnshiel Lodge, originally formed part of the network of military roads in this region. It now carries the modern A939 public road which follows the line of the older road.
Built in 1751, it still survives in very good condition.
Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

What causes a squirrel to be white?
White Squirrels | Coastal and Marine Laboratory
The white squirrel is actually a genetic anomaly due to a mutated gene from the common Eastern Gray Squirrel. It is called leucism, which is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals caused by a recessive allele. Unlike albinism, it is a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin.
What is the difference between leucistic and albino?
Leucism vs. Albinism in the Animal Kingdom
Leucism and albinism are often difficult to tell apart in animals since the conditions share some of the same characteristics. While albinism refers to the complete lack of melanin—the natural pigment that gives skin, feathers, hair, and eyes their color—leucism involves a partial loss of pigmentation.

Finally got round to tidying all of my photography folders dating back to November last year. Whilst I don't like to revisit older shots I found myself dwelling on the Ayanna Witter-Johnson gig captures from last year.
It was a superb night despite just about every single photography condition being against me. Luckily the lady herself was mesmorising so it inspired me to get on with the job and focus on the things in my control. The result was a crazy amount of expressive live moments. Even the high ISO worked well.
A companion shot to one I've already posted the venue was basically purple as was Ayanna's jump suit. I've tried to keep the spirit of this reducing the saturation and playing with the colour swatch.
As always thank you for any comments and faves they are gratefully received.

On the shores of the Atlantic near the Stormsriver mouth at the Tsitsikama Nature Reserve I spotter this little fellow.
The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), also called rock badger and Cape hyrax, is commonly referred to in South African English as the dassie. It is one of the four living species of the order Hyracoidea, and the only living species in the genus Procavia. Like all hyraxes, it is a medium-sized (~4 kg) terrestrial mammal, with short ears and tail.
The closest living relatives to hyraxes are the modern-day elephants and sirenians. The rock hyrax is found across Africa and the Middle East in habitats with rock crevices into which it escapes from predators. Hyraxes typically live in groups of 10–80 animals, and forage as a group. They have been reported to use sentries: one or more animals take up position on a vantage point and issue alarm calls on the approach of predators.
The rock hyrax has incomplete thermoregulation and is most active in the morning and evening, although its activity pattern varies substantially with season and climate. Adults make use of at least 21 different vocal signals. The most familiar signal is a high trill, given in response to perceived danger. Rock hyrax calls can provide important biological information such as size, age, social status, body weight, condition, and hormonal state of the caller, as determined by measuring their call length, patterns, complexity, and frequency.

A female Blackbird 'sunning' in the garden earlier. Had to Google the behaviour as I thought it was sick at first...
No-one knows for certain the reasons birds do this and several theories have been proposed. However, sunning would appear to perform two separate functions: maintaining the bird's feathers in good condition, and helping to regulate it's temperature. There is even a suggestion that they do it simply because they enjoy it!

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.

As though the carved heads outside and the zigzag carving of the tower arch were not enough, each of the dozen or so columns supporting the arches in the nave have rich carving on their capitals. In astonishingly good condition, they're both varied and imaginative, mostly featuring creatures in a style I would describe as Celtic. These may be leopards, or some mythical beast, though I don't suppose there was much chance of a stonemason having seen a real leopard in the 12th century.
