Piccadilly Circus - a tourist attraction locals tend to stay away from. As the nation moves into yet another strict lockdown to tackle the new variant, this one's for those of us responsible locals who have stayed home unless absolutely essential. Since March 2020.
A trip to La Gomera (Canary Islands), another lovely island, full of trees and amazing views. Here the “Roque de Agando” near the wonderful ancient National Park of Garajonay.
Walking in a park, looking for emotions in the “Magic Forest” project. A shot with the amazing old lens Canon EF 50mm f2.5 compact macro with the 1:1 Life-Size Converter (LSC).

Walking in the Circeo National Park. The amazing world under the trees… I’m fascinated by mushrooms and their ability to grow wherever there is shade and humidity, their shapes and colors, their tenacity. I don’t know them, I look at them, I admire them and I try to steal an image to take with me.
The joys of little less conversation and a little more action as friends reunite in groups of no more than 6 after national lockdown is slightly relaxed in the UK.

The cockshafer Loved and hated: this big beetle is the star in many fairy tales and stories but is nevertheless fought hard from time to time. Underground life When the fully developed may beetle crawls out of the earth in the spring and flies away, it has been on it for most of its life.
This beetle spent three to four years underground in the larva stage.
The adult insect lives only four to six weeks. May beetle year This life cycle follows one with many beetles, the so-called beetle year, on three 'beetle-poor' years. Unfortunately, the little beetle is no longer as well represented here as in grandmother's times, when huge swarms occupied our fields, forests and meadows. The small difference In our regions there are 3 species of may beetles: the common may beetle, the sand chick beetle and the rare Melolontha pectoralis. You can tell the insects apart by their differently shaped and colored abdomens. Males and females can also be distinguished in this way.
Antenna Another way to distinguish may beetle males and females are the antennae. Those of the males are considerably larger and have 7 'leaves' per antenna, those of the females have 7. The antennae are equipped with smell sensors and thus form the nose of the beetle, as it were.
The male cockchafer seeks out the females. For this he uses the lamellae (leaves) on his antennae as an organ of smell. The smallest concentrations of odor can be detected with these slats. The females secrete pheromones (odorous substances), which are smelled by the males. When a male has found a female, they mate. During mating, the ends of the abdomen are connected. The male drops onto his back and is then dragged along by the female for a while. Beetles do not sit on top of each other unlike other insects. After mating, the female flies to the open field. There she burrows a few centimeters deep into the ground. She deposits about 20 eggs in the soil with the tip of her abdomen. The eggs are small (diam. 2-3 mm), oval-shaped and off-white in colour.
The cockchafer is a medium-sized beetle 2-3 cm, with reddish brown elytra and legs. He has a black body with a striking triangle pattern on both sides. The cockchafer has red-brown feelers. The thickening on the end of the feelers can fan out into lamellae (blades). The May beetle therefore belongs to the family of the leaf blade beetles. Engerling is a name for the larva of the May beetle. These are known because they feed on plant roots, especially grasses.
The spring is coming… Walking into the Circeo National Park, always I can find something interesting.
Really, isn’t Mordor with the Amon Amarth Mountain but a really dark shot of a sunset at “Lago di Fogliano” near home.
A nice walk, under the rain in the park called “Jardin Canario” a lovely and amazing botanic park in the Tafira area Gran Canaria (Canary Islands).
