Another ridiculously early morning shot in the rain and wet grass, but as we say in Ireland, "A damp day, thank God!"
I took this a week ago, just getting to put it up now. My only shot of last Sunday. I thought it looked a bit shamrocky, even though they're clover leaves, so looks like a place a Leprechaun might leave his umbrella!
Today is day 192 of Project 365 (Sunday).
Zermatt, it's a pleasant town, but seriously they need to sort out all the traffic!!! This was base camp to getting up closer to the Matterhorn. I warned you all that I would be posting more gratuitous Matterhorn images!!! This is from a couple of weeks ago in Switzerland.
The whole traffic thing is a joke of course. Zermatt is actually combustion engine free, only electric and "grass-powered" vehicles up here. Which means you can't actually drive here, you need to take the spectacular cogwheel train to get to the village. Steep sections of the railway have cogs to stop the train from slipping backward or going down too quickly.
The horseman's outfit matches the Valais flag, which is the canton that Zermatt is in.
A Western Bluebird dropped by yesterday afternoon. Although they're around, I think this is the first time, I've ever had one at my house.

I am a bit short of current fly pictures these days ...must try to correct that this weekend.
Happy FlyDay Friday!
Not original. This is a extreme closeup of a painting in the lobby of a building somewhere in the Chicago loop.
Leaving Tokyo again today. This was from the Hamarikyu Gardens, near my hotel. Like most parks in Tokyo, it's repurposed from a Shogun stronghold.
the series goes from left to right, capturing the sunset in the west, the streets running north and final capture depicts the east river.

A big harvest this year, this group of woodpeckers have been harvesting for over 6 weeks, and have created two new granaries to store their acorns, this one on the roofs of several houses, and another on a palm tree. Normally they just use an old oak tree. It's so crazy now that they have to hop from tile to tile trying to find room for just one more acorn.
Loved this redhead's shadow too, with its big acorn revealed, and how clearly you can see how they use their tails to steady themselves.
Fascinating, innovative, super social creatures.

It turns out that 2016 had one last treasure to offer up, my son James and I spotted a whale just off the coast yesterday. It was a little far away, but a fluke's a fluke! I think it was a humpback, but I'm no expert.
This is a closer image I got earlier in 2016 - Link.
Like a sprinkle of powdered sugar on a rich red velvet cake, this scene from the ESA/Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captures the contrasting colours of bright white water-ice against the rusty red martian soil.
This delightful image was taken 5 July 2021 and soaks in the view of a 4 km-wide crater in Mars’ north polar region of Vastitas Borealis, centred at 70.6 °N/230.3°E.
The crater is partially filled with water ice, which is also particularly predominant on its north-facing slopes that receive fewer hours of sunlight on average throughout the year.
The dark material clearly visible on the crater rim – giving it a somewhat scorched appearance – likely consists of volcanic materials such as basalt.
Most of the surrounding terrain is ice free, but has been shaped by ongoing aeolian processes. The streaks at the bottom right of the image are formed by winds that have removed the brighter iron oxide dust from the surface, exposing a slightly darker underlying substrate.
TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 and began its full science mission in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.

the trace of many generations of spiders.
A corner of my greenhouse. I cleared out all the old tomato plants and washed the green algae off the inside of the glass yesterday.

Accidentally caught this guy with completely wrong dof setting, but interesting effect.

An aluminum pirate statue in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Seriously bad ass, no?
So, existential question. How do Pirates know they exist?
A: They think, therefore they Arrrrr!

The Mercado dos Lavradores, in the center of Funchal, Madeira, a Portuguese protectorate, offers fish not often seen elsewhere. Here is the Espada Preta which some call the black scabbard.
