Halloween is upon us and sadly there will be those that try to spoil it for innocent children out to enjoy the adventure of the season. I remember each one of my childhood Halloween treks. My costumes were hand-made of whatever I could find. Walking from house to house, I never once felt in danger. Often I came home with homemade goodies that I enjoyed for days.
Unfortunately, those days are gone. As a parent, grandparent, or older member of the house hold, Please make sure that your little person enjoys a Happy Halloween! Check their treats, before you let them eat!
This shot was taken in Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. As I made the loop through the refuge, I spotted a great blue heron in the vegetation jumping and throwing his wings about. Once I stopped the auto, I could see there was also a snake (cottonmouth/ water moccasin). Each time the snake would strike, the bird would deflect the venomous mouth with his wing. The battle lasted for about 45 minutes. Finally the bird was the victor and he swallowed the snake in one piece/ head first.
The average weight of the GB heron is between 4.5 -5.5 pounds. The snake was 4-5 feet in length and weighs 3-4 pounds. Because of the added weight, it would be impossible for the bird to fly before he has digested the snake. I returned to this spot the next day and the bird was still in the same spot. I have a feeling he did not need to eat for many days.

Look how the flowers deflect the raindrops. I hope y'all appreciate me getting soaked to get this picture. The camera, at least, is showerproof - the photographer, not so much....
Schmetterlinge nehmen (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) mit ihrem Saugrüssel überwiegend flüssige Nahrung in Form von Blütennektar auf.Dieser hier liess sich überhaupt nicht ablenken. Danke dafür ;-)
Butterflies take up (up to few exceptions) with her proboscis predominantly liquid food in the form of flower nectar. Here this cannot be deflected at all. Thanks for it ;-)

In the Jewish Quarter. Streets there are narrow but clean and beautiful. Houses are painted in white to deflect light and keep it cool during the hot summer months.

The South Yorkshireman
viele Märchen- oder Sagengestalten mussten erst zum Ende des Regenbogens reisen, um den Schatz am Fuß des Regenbogens zu finden. Auch wenn wir den Fuß des Regenbogens niemals erreichen, so hat der Lichtbogen seine Faszination nicht verloren.
Aber wie entsteht ein Regenbogen.
Das Sonnenlicht wird von Regentropfen gebrochen und reflektiert. Er keinen festen Ort aber eine feste Ausrichtung. Er ist immer an der der Sonne genau entgegengesetzten Seite des Himmels in einem Winkelabstand von 42° um den Sonnengegenpunkt zu sehen. Da dieser Sonnengegenpunkt bei hochstehender Sonne hinter dem Horizont liegt, ist es unmöglich, mittags einen Regenbogen zu beobachten. Je höher die Sonne am Himmel steht, desto flacher ist der Regenbogen, bei tiefstehender Abendsonne wölbt er sich entsprechend hoch.
Warum aber beträgt dieser Winkel immer 42°? Ein Lichtstrahl, der in einen Wassertropfen eintritt, wird von der Grenzschicht zwischen Wasser und Luft reflektiert und verläßt den Tropfen wieder in einem bestimmten Winkel zu seiner ursprünglichen Einfallsrichtung. Natürlich fällt in Wirklichkeit immer ein ganzes Bündel Lichtstrahlen in einen Tropfen ein, und da jeder einzelne Strahl in einem anderen Winkel auf die Tropfenoberfläche trifft, sind die Austrittswinkel ebenfalls ganz unterschiedlich.
Dass dennoch nur die 42° Strahlen von uns als Regenbogen wahrgenommen werden, hängt damit zusammen, daß eine größere Ablenkung aus physikalischen Gründen nicht möglich ist. Alle Lichtstrahlen, die eigentlich noch weiter als diese 42° gebrochen werden müßten, konzentrieren sich an diesem Grenzwert und bilden dadurch den für uns sichtbaren Regenbogen. Die Lichtstrahlen mit kleineren Auslenkwinkeln verursachen lediglich eine leichte Aufhellung des Himmels innerhalb des Bogens.
Da das Sonnenlicht aus Strahlen verschiedener Wellenlänge aufgebaut ist, und sich die Brechung für jede Wellenlänge etwas unterscheidet, wird das Licht nicht nur abgelenkt sondern auch in seine Farbanteile zerlegt. Blaues Licht wird stärker gebrochen als rotes und liegt dadurch beim Austritt aus dem Tropfen näher am ursprünglichen Strahl. Im Regenbogen sehen wir daher den blauvioletten Streifen am weitesten innen, gefolgt von grün, gelb und ganz außen rot.
many fairy tale or legend characters first had to travel to the end of the rainbow to find the treasure at the foot of the rainbow. Even if we never reach the foot of the rainbow, the arc has not lost its fascination.
But how does a rainbow come about?
The sunlight is refracted and reflected by raindrops. It is not a fixed location but a fixed orientation. It can always be seen on the exactly opposite side of the sky to the sun at an angular distance of 42 ° around the sun's counterpoint. Since this opposite point of the sun lies behind the horizon when the sun is high, it is impossible to observe a rainbow at noon. The higher the sun is in the sky, the flatter the rainbow, and when the evening sun is low it arches accordingly.
But why is this angle always 42 °? A ray of light that enters a drop of water is reflected by the boundary layer between water and air and leaves the drop at a certain angle to its original direction of incidence. Of course, in reality a whole bundle of light rays always falls into a drop, and since each individual ray hits the drop surface at a different angle, the exit angles are also very different.
The fact that we only perceive the 42 ° rays as rainbows is due to the fact that a greater deflection is not possible for physical reasons. All rays of light, which should actually be refracted further than this 42 °, concentrate at this limit value and thereby form the rainbow that is visible to us. The light rays with smaller deflection angles only cause a slight brightening of the sky within the arc.
Since sunlight is made up of rays of different wavelengths and the refraction differs slightly for each wavelength, the light is not only deflected but also broken down into its color components. Blue light is refracted more strongly than red light and is therefore closer to the original ray when it emerges from the drop. In the rainbow we therefore see the blue-violet stripe furthest inside, followed by green, yellow and red on the outside.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 F/2
This is the follow-up to my previous photo, the promised glance into the "Beehive". The Reichstag dome isn't at all easy to photograph from the inside. A wide angle lens is strongly recommended, and this was the very first time I was able to use the Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 F/2 ultra wide-angle lens there. On that day the dome was also very well-patronised, if not to say crowded, which made it even more difficult to photograph. A few things I tried there simply didn't work out because there were always at least one or more persons too close to me which didn't exactly help with the composition, to say the least, and which also looked downright distracting in the photo ;-) The good thing is that I can re-visit this place as often as I wish, and I'm sure that one day I will find an emptier beehive ;-) At the moment the Reichstag roof-top terrace and the dome are still closed for public due to the Corona situation. I've read on the Bundestag website that the roof-top terrace and the restaurant will re-open in early July, and I hope that the dome will follow soon.
The atmosphere inside the beehive is usually very light and airy, even on a rainy day (and then it can also quickly get freezing cold inside, because the dome's top is open which also means that when you've climbed right to the top it will be wet and windy there on such a day). On the right you can see the cone which isn't just an architectural or design element. The cone is cased with 360 movable mirrors and serves as a "light deflecting element (...) which directs diffuse daylight into the plenary hall ten metres below. In addition, the light deflection element ensures that used air is removed from the plenary hall. It makes use of the thermal lift and directs the air upwards via an exhaust nozzle. This air then escapes through a 10-metre wide central opening at the top of the dome." (quote taken from the Bundestag website, bundestag.de).
The cone and its reverse, double-helix-like designed ramps (one is meant for walking up, the other, you've guessed it, for walking down inside the dome) have always reminded me of a whirlwind, albeit a "calm" and benign one. The Raw file was a little on the darker side, so I used several sliders in several editing programs to retrieve that airy, kind of "floaty" atmosphere. I've also slightly blurred the faces of the people standing closest to the cone to avoid recognition.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy, dear Flickr friends!

A Curve-billed Thrasher perched on a Saguaro cactus either: a) avoids the sharp barbs or b) ignores the pain or c) deflects the needles with its feathered exterior. Whichever it is (c?), it is indeed a prickly perch.
Decided to do something a little different today, though it still includes the sun…what your looking at is a picture taken just as sun was rising over the horizon, looking out my kitchen window, through the screen and into a tree, where the sun is hidden behind a leaf. Maybe not as beautiful as all the sunset shots lately, but different…

Dans la nuit du 28 septembre 2015, une éclipse lunaire totale, une "super-lune" de couleur sang a eu lieu.
Pour cette éclipse, la lune était au plus proche de la Terre.
Ceci est un montage des phases de l'éclipse lunaire, 02h34 à 06h20 du matin.
C'est la première fois que je photographie cet événement.
C'était un véritable défi, avec des réglages à effectuer à chaque prise.
Les conditions météo n'étaient pas favorables au début de l'éclipse lunaire avec des nuages par intermittence.
La distance moyenne séparant la Terre de la Lune est de 384 400 km. Elle est le cinquième plus grand satellite du système solaire, avec un diamètre de 3 474 km.
Au cours d'une éclipse totale de la Lune, les rayons lumineux passant dans l´atmosphère terrestre sont déviés par la réfraction atmosphérique et éclairent la Lune.
Ce flux lumineux est plus proche au centre de la Lune et se traduit par une coloration rougeâtre, qui rappelle un peu la couleur du ciel terrestre au moment du coucher de soleil.
Les autres régions de la Lune sont peu colorées, d´une teinte généralement grise.
L´aspect, les couleurs et l´intensité de l´éclairement sont très variables d´une éclipse à l´autre, sont imprévisibles et dépendent fortement des conditions météorologiques atmosphériques sur le terminateur terrestre.
Photo prise avec un Canon 5D Mark III et un objectif de 400mm.

On the night of September 28, 2015, a total lunar eclipse, a "super moon" color of blood took place.
For this eclipse, the moon was closer to Earth.
This is a phase of mounting Lunar Eclipse, 02h34h to 06h20h in the morning.
This is the first time I photograph this event.
It was a real challenge, with adjustments to be made for each outlet.
Weather conditions were not favorable at the beginning of Lunar Eclipse with clouds intermittently.
The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384 400 km. It is the fifth largest satellite in the solar system with a diameter of 3474 kilometers.
During a total eclipse of the moon, the light rays passing into the Earth's atmosphere are deflected by atmospheric refraction and illuminate the Moon.
This light output is closer to the center of the Moon and resulting in a reddish color, which is somewhat reminiscent of the color of the earth's sky when sunset.
The other regions of the Moon are not colored, typically Due gray tint.
The appearance, color and intensity of the illumination vary greatly Due to eclipse the other, are unpredictable and highly dependent on atmospheric weather on Earth's terminator.

This journey took place on 6th April 1968. These locomotives were subsequently named "Black Prince" and "The Green Knight". Sadly the Longmoor Military Railway closed shortly after their arrival but they were relocated elsewhere and are still running today.

The Risborough Venturer
I wish that I could get out of my own head
Forgot how to smile so I just pretend
And I'm scared to feel so I just deflect
But the low makes the high feel better
And I know I won't hurt forever
But I've been going to some
Dark places
I hate it when my
Mind races
I've got so many
Blank spaces
But I
Wanna change, wanna change, wanna change
From my
Old ways
And all the habits that I
Ain't shaking
Sometimes I feel like
I'm breaking
But I
I can change, I can change, I can change
And be happy
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I just want, I just want
Just wanna be happy
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I just want, I just want

The ETFE façades are shaped in a “sail” like form and are installed on three sides of the building; East, South, and West. A total of 399 sails cover an area of 8,125 square meters, supported by 180 tons of structural aluminum framing and 57 carbon steel “headmounts”.
“Here is why I will be a good person. Because I listen. I cannot speak so I listen very well. I never interrupt, I never deflect the course of the conversation with a comment of my own.
...I beg of you, pretend you are a dog like me and LISTEN to other people rather than steal their stories.”

One of the ghastly "ETHEL" train heating diesel locomotives is tucked in behind the locomotive.
After forty-five minutes of flight, it's time to return to dry land. To brake the aircraft, it is necessary to activate the deflectors, which create an aerodynamic barrier on the wings. In addition, just before the approach, the pilot can perform a “glissade”, a kind of skid in the air that reduces altitude while maintaining low speed, ideal for little.
As it arrives on the runway at low speed, less than 70 km/h, the glider stops a few meters after touching the ground. The ability to make short landings is one of the requirements for obtaining a license to fly gliders. The pilot needs to prove that he is capable of performing a safe landing in a space 30 meters long. This experience is necessary in case the driver needs to make an emergency landing in remote regions.
The experience of flying aboard a glider is the purest and simplest concept of flight, the closest a man can get to being a bird. It is a mixture of peace, due to the almost absolute silence in the cabin due to the absence of an engine, with the excitement of flying.
PS Filmed from Glider's cockpit by me.
The phone warmed up several times and stopped working. I had to put it outside to cool it.
Mountain wave/ lenticular clouds on the east slopes of the Colorado Front Range form when strong winds blowing out of the west are deflected by the Rocky Mountains. The moisture in the clouds condenses when forced upward, forming clouds. These clouds appear stationary, but they are quite dynamic, continually forming on the windward side (edge of the blue sky here) and dissipating toward the leeward side. Their inner beauty shows best when the sun is near the horizon at sunrise or sunset (as here). These clouds had particularly nice sharp edges to them.
Thanks for your views, comments and favs.

Not really the shot I was after, I have never been to this location before so I didn't know where the sun would be, in the end it was directly above the train and was too bright for my lens! I took the shot as wide as possible because I thought if you could see the sun it might help to justify the lens flare a little bit
