Thank you so much in advance for all your kindness and support .I really appreciate it you're all amazing . Huge hugs and so much love to you all my dear friends 💕
I arrived at the site to discover I hadn't packed my tripod in the car boot. I can't handle a 500mm f4 lens unsupported for any length of time, so that was a huge negative at the start of the day having driven the 40 miles from Nottingham. The consequence was that of 300 plus shots taken all were to a greater, or lesser degree soft and largely scrap, which was a shame, as I thought I'd otherwise got a range of nice clean shots of these lovely little birds. This was one of the slightly more presentable ones. I haven't had much joy with Whinchats over the 6 years I've been photographing birds - the curse of the Whinchat strikes again!
Many thanks to Stuart Allen for the locational advice, it was spot on. Snag was a week had gone by and that was something else I omitted to double check this morning!
Thank you for your faves an comments - much appreciated.
The Far Side of the World
tribute to this great movie with Russel Crowe and novel written by Patrick O'Brian
in the film version, the action takes place in 1805, during the Napoleonic wars, instead of 1813 during the Anglo-American War of 1812, as the producers wished to avoid offending American audiences.[8] In consequence, the fictional opponent was changed from the USS Norfolk to the French privateer frigate Acheron
here is the movie version...so..we are the bad guys (the frogs)

This group of Greater Flamingos were performing their mating dance and display for dominance in Camargue, France.
The two flamingos in the center of this photography get their necks entangled with each other.
They quickly worked it out and then the group continued to perform the dancing ritual.
There are nine different postures during the courtship display and from these postures, there are more than 100 possible transitions between the postures.
The dance is a beautiful group behavior to watch and listen to.

Thailand Life: Wat Huay Pla Kang is a major tourist attraction located 20 minutes by road to the north of Chiang Rai town center
Wat Huay Pla Kang is a relatively new attraction in Chiang Rai which has become immensely popular in the past 2 years. The temple is an ever expanding project and now features three major elements, none of which existed before 2001 and the most recent of three structures was completed in late 2016. The most prominent part of Wat Huay Pla Kang is its large white statue. The figure represented by the statue is not the Lord Buddha, but rather Guan Yin whose is the Goddess of Mercy in the form of Buddhism practiced in China and Vietnam and the temple attracts a lot of visitors from those countries as a consequence..
Consequences in the Netherlands It is also getting warmer in the Netherlands and the sea level is rising. The main consequences of climate change for the Netherlands: The weather is becoming more extreme: more heavy showers, more heat waves. There is a greater risk of flooding: the rivers and sewers are no longer able to drain the water properly during heavy rainfall. Nature in the Netherlands is changing: species that originally come from warmer areas, feel more and more at home in the Netherlands. Well-known examples are the oak processionary caterpillar, the small hermit crab, certain tick species and the "hay fever plant" Ambrosia. Another effect is that spring starts earlier: plants bloom earlier, trees sprout earlier, insects appear earlier and birds breed earlier in the year. This can cause problems, for example for migratory birds that missed the insect peak upon arrival in the Netherlands and cannot find enough food. Species that cannot adapt quickly enough to changing circumstances run the risk of disappearing. There are also advantages: we can grow other vegetable and plant species because they will do better in the Netherlands. Winters are getting milder; it will freeze less often. It is getting wetter: in the spring, autumn and winter there is more rainfall. Summers are getting drier and hotter. There are more summer and tropical days. In the Netherlands, the consequences of climate change can probably be controlled. We can strengthen dikes and dunes and create storage areas along rivers for extra river water. You can also help to limit waterlogging by applying fewer tiles and more greenery in your garden. Rainwater can then sink into the soil, so that the sewer is less overloaded (so: less flooded basements and streets).
That special day.
you remember it.
22-12-2007, there was frozen fog on the trees and a blue sky. It was just a few hours. It was marvelous.
Sie will take you to a magical utopian place.
A place where dictators don't have fun at parties.
A place where climate conservation is a priority.
A place where everyone is safe.
A place where schools are funded.
A place where cops aren't allowed to commit murder.
A place where books aren't banned.
A place where for profit prisons don't exist.
A place where women have control over their own bodies.
A place where you're allowed to love who you love without consequences.
A place where everyone has healthcare.
Enough food to eat.
A roof over their heads.
Equal representation.
And is able to be who they are
without persecution.
But, we all know fair tales don't exist. (nor, do fairy tales)

In other policy areas we are quick to use the term 'crisis' - euro crisis or refugee crisis - but avoid it when we talk about the fundamental distortions of our planetary system. That says a lot about the political importance of the various policy areas.”

The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the most characteristic monuments of the city: visiting it is like leafing through a history book of Sicily.
It is the main place of worship in the city of Palermo and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its highly original mix of styles, with elements of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, Catalan and Gothic art, is a direct consequence of the presence of multiple populations that, over the centuries, have alternated on Sicilian soil.
The style of the twelfth century prevails over all, the Norman one, although the appearance of the church as we see it today is due to modifications and additions from the eighteenth century.
A highly suggestive experience is the visit of the roofs of the Cathedral, thanks to which it is possible to discover the artistic and architectural elements of the external walls of the monument and admire Palermo from above.
Ansel Adams would slap a red filter on his lens, then spend three days burning and dodging in the dark room, making his prints. That’s a manipulation. Even the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, with all due respect to him, are notoriously burned and dodged :-)

“For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.”
― Gregory David Roberts, for the book "Shantaram"

“His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.”
― The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 7th of March is "birds". Now you might feel that this is a nice and easy theme, which it is, but not for me. This is because I do not tend to photograph birds because I am usually too slow to catch them. Luckily, in my archives I have about a dozen photos of a bird I did manage to catch 'neath my lens. My friend and I were on a walk down along Brighton Beach when we came across a few beautiful Black Swans. This rather proud looking specimen is a male swan. Fortunately for me, he was in no hurry to move as he stood along the water's edge, and I managed to get a couple of photos of him. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
In adult Black Swans the body is mostly black, with the exception of the broad white wing tips which are visible in flight. The bill is a deep orange-red, paler at the tip, with a distinct narrow white band towards the end. Younger birds are much greyer in colour, and have black wing tips. Adult females are smaller than the males. Black Swans prefer larger salt, brackish or fresh waterways and permanent wetlands, requiring 40 m or more of clear water to take off. Outside the breeding season, Black Swans travel quite large distances. Birds fly at night and rest during the day with other swans. Black Swans are found throughout Australia with the exception of Cape York Peninsula, and are more common in the south. The Black Swan is a vegetarian. Food consists of algae and weeds, which the bird obtains by plunging its long neck into water up to one metre deep. Occasionally birds will graze on land, but they are clumsy walkers. Black Swans form isolated pairs or small colonies in shallow wetlands. They pair for life, with both adults raising one brood per season. Eggs are laid in an untidy nest made of reeds and grasses. The nest is placed either on a small island or floated in deeper water. The chicks (cygnets) are covered in grey down and are able to swim and feed themselves as soon as they hatch.
♪ARENA - How did it come to this ? (Soignies 2015) ♪
Something now, is something that will always be
This is far beyond some earthbound human plan
In this universe we're merely specks of sand
Nothing more than man
Tell me - How did it come to this?
What we do, may light an unexpected fuse
Every left or right may lead to consequences
If the butterfly should flap its wings
If an angel sings
Tell me - How did it come to this?
Tell me - How did it come to this?
Once a child, I tried to hold eternity
Take a leap of faith and never fear the fall
But as I floated to those distant shores
I would hit the wall
How could I believe...
There was something on the other side of it all
More than any man could truly understand
More than I could comprehend
So how did it come to this?
Honestly, I never thought I'd seek adventure in my life
Never thought that I would walk so dark a road
In this universe we're merely specks of sand
Nothing more than man
Honestly, I never thought I'd read such judgement in my life
Never thought that I would fall upon this road
And if that butterfly should flap its wings
If an angel sings
So how did it come to this?
How did it come to this?
is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

These last two years have been really hard for the consequences of the already pandemic drought that we are suffering in Spain.
Most of the reservoirs, whose dams were built mostly at the time of the dictator, General Franco, to alleviate in part the effects of the droughts, are running empty.
In some cases, the level of the waters of these reservoirs submerged entire towns, as happened with the town of Linares, a few kilometers from Maderuelo.
In the case of Maderuelo, the medieval bridge was submerged, as well as the hermitage of Vera Cruz (True Cross), that was partially submerged, whose beautiful frescoes had to be transferred to the Prado Museum in Madrid.
But in times of drought, the bridge re-emerges and we have verified that it is in a very good state of conservation.
In this photo you can see the medieval bridge next to the main bridge
And in the related photo, you can see the state of the water level in the reservoir, last August.

CONSECUENCIAS DE LA SEQUÍA, MADERUELO, SEGOVIA, ESPAÑA, 2022
Estos dos últimos años han sido realmente duros para las consecuencias de la ya pandémica sequía que sufrimos en España.
La mayoría de los embalses, cuyas presas se contruyeron en su mayoría en la época del dictador, general Franco, para paliar en parte los efectos de las sequías, se están quedando vacíos.
En algunos casos, el nivel de las aguas de estos embalses llegó a sumergir pueblos enteros, como ocurrió con el pueblo de Linares, a pocos kilómetros de Maderuelo.
En el caso de Maderuelo, el puente medieval quedó sumergido, así como también quedó parcialmente sumergida la ermita de la Vera Cruz (True Cross), cuyos bellísimos frescos tuvieron que ser trasladados al museo del Prado en Madrid.
Pero en épocas de sequía, el puente vuelve a emerger y hemos comprobado que se encuentra en muy buen estado de conservación.
En esta foto se puede ver el puente medieval junto al puente principal
Y en la foto relacionada, se puede ver el estado del nivel del agua del embalse, el pasado mes de agosto.

One year later (i.e. fall 2020), the Alex tempest made the Vésubie river that you can see, raging and devastating villages, houses and roads. Many victims and isolated people were accounted. We, scientists, have good reasons to think that such intense storms are direct consequences of the climate warming.
Please, take a few minutes and have a visit to the" World Scientist's Warning to Humanity" and share the article as widely as possible. Thanks.

Markyate's High Street follows the bed of the River Ver, so is sloping, approximately from north to south. This is the northern and higher end of High Street. The building reflects this situation too in that one end is higher above the ground than the other. There are consequences if, as here, you put the entrance to your home at the higher end.
und die Tatsache, dass keiner weiß, wie viele noch kommen -
macht mittlerweile müde.
Erneute Forderungen nach weiteren Kontaktbeschränkungen sogen für Unverständnis und ja - auch Ärger.
Mittlerweile kann ich nur noch die Spiegel in der Wohnung abnehmen, um keinem mehr zu nahe zu kommen ;-)))
Das macht mich "Mütend" - und es ist zugleich die neue Wortschöpfung dieser Zeit.

grandeur can sometimes blind us to the point that we fail to see the little things which are just as beautiful. by the same token, sometimes we get too busy attending to "grander" things in life, the ones we consider "matters of consequence" that we forget the simple yet sometimes more important things. have you smelled a flower today? have you looked at the stars? have you smiled at a stranger? have you said "i love you" to the significant people in your life? have you held their hands? have you called or written a friend just to say hello? life is fleeting. and it would be so tragic to realize it's too late to do any of these simple things because we have been too busy with "matters of consequence" .
