Full moon last night

This is my room key in Tokyo. I think it's awesome that it's a real key and not a plastic card.

Long day and long week- great to pour a glass of wine and do some Flickr.

Stomoxys calcitrans - Stable fly.

 

Now i have learned to ID this fly (& examine the visitors to the patio table with the Raynox) I am realising this species is by far the main lander on our patio table. They dont bother us at all -Actually no one ever gets any bites at all here except very, very occasionally from Culicoides midges on muggy summer evenings. I am glad our stable flies are better behaved around humans that they seem to be in other parts of the world.

A Northern Cardinal on Avery Island, Louisiana, near dusk, hence the very soft focus. They must have been the models for angry birds, right?

OK this was a wierd experience for both of us.

Another Pacific sunset.

 

Today is day 263 of Project 365

Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.

 

Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.

Spotted this guy looking through the window last night, casing the joint I guess. Please don't comment on the smudgy window.

 

Today is day 133 of Project 365 (Thursday).

the route along the Annacloy river!

Playing around yesterday evening, using tree ornaments as prisms.

James looks out from behind Seljalandsfoss, a huge waterfall that has a trail going behind it. Again on the south coast, one of our cloudier days. He has a ghost image reflected on the water.

Visited the De Young yesterday. Always love watching people react to art.

These ones are probably long since gone. ..so imagination comes into it.

I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.

 

On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.

 

Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the island of South Georgia. Linked with the South Sandwich Islands to form a British Overseas Territory, this southern Atlantic island is a haven for a vast array of wildlife.

 

Around five million seals call the islands home, as well as 65 million birds of 30 different species. Migrating whales and various fish species populate the surrounding waters and there is a large penguin population.

 

First discovered by Captain James Cook in 1775, there is no permanent human population on the island, due to its remote location and inhospitable environment. Nevertheless, a British Antarctic Survey research station operates in the capital, King Edward Point, in the island’s centre. This is a centre for applied fisheries research, while on Bird Island, lying off the north-west tip of South Georgia, scientists and support staff focus on research into bird and seal biology.

 

As we can see clearly in the image, South Georgia is mostly covered in snow. Its polar climate gives it short and very cold summers, and long, freezing and overcast winters. The rugged landscapes of the island are often said to leave visitors in awe, with two mountain ranges dominating - the Allardyce towards the middle of the island and Salvesen in the south.

 

In 2012 the UK Government designated South Georgia as one of the world’s largest sustainable use Marine Protected Areas. Significant investment has also been made in fisheries management and scientific research, as well as targeted conservation efforts to help protect the albatross. South Georgia is home to the Wandering Albatross – the largest flying bird species in the world.

 

Sentinel-2 is a two-satellite mission to supply the coverage and data delivery needed for Europe’s Copernicus programme. The mission’s frequent revisits over the same area and high spatial resolution allow changes in inland water bodies and the coastal environment to be closely monitored.

 

This image, which was captured on 22 February 2018, is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.
