44 years of abandonment and neglect, the second jetty from where copper was loaded for export.
The name Cyprus is a derivative of Kúpros, which the Greeks called the island, and means Cuprous, synonymous with copper. Copper production can be dated to the fourth millennium BC, when it was used to make tools.
During the Roman period Cyprus was able to satisfy almost all of the world's copper requirements, but after the downfall of the Roman Empire, copper mining went dormant until the 19th century. From the 19th century the mining industry was revived and continues to this day in a limited capacity.

Woodchat Shrike - - Lanius Senator
Shrikes are medium sized predatory birds with hooked bills, sometimes known as butcher birds in recognition of the way in which they catch their prey and feed (from the Latin genus derivative Lanius meaning butcher).
The adult male woodchat shrike has predominantly black upperparts and white underparts with a rufous crown, nape and upper mantle. The forehead is black extending to a black mask across the eyes and along the side of the neck finishing just prior to the rufous nape. Chin and throat are white as are the flanks and breast. The shoulders are a bold white partly obscured by a black lower mantle which becomes obvious when the bird is in flight. The back, upper wing and upper tail areas are in the main dark brown or black and the rump and the tip of the central tail feathers white. There is a broad white bar near the base of the primary feathers on the upper wing extending from the area of the alula (bastard wing) across to the median coverts, again particularly prominent in flight. The eye is very dark and the legs and stout hooked bill are black. Adult females are similar to the male although the crown and nape is paler and less rufous than the male and there is a whitish stripe across the top and around the eye and she is duller overall. Juvenile birds have grey brown upper parts with mottling to the head and shoulders and pale grey underparts with darker grey horizontal bars.
The preferred diet is one of beetles or spiders, caterpillars or large flying insects frequently caught on the wing or attacked on the ground from above but can also include small birds and lizards. The Woodchat spends a great deal of time perching in the open from where it can easily spot its potential prey and launch its attack.

The only reason we took this long cruise was
for me to take my own photo of this famous place in Willemstad.
It’s fitting that Curaçao’s name is a derivative of "coração",
the Portuguese word for "heart". For centuries, the Caribbean
island was the pulsing center of European trade in the region
and a melting pot for Dutch, Iberian, South American, African,
tropical, and even Sephardic Jewish influences.
Colonized by the Netherlands after its independence from Spain in 1634, Curaçao’s capital, Willemstad, has a distinct architectural tradition kept alive by its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage City.
Curaçao and St. Maarten have become autonomous countries
within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, joining Aruba,
which gained the status in 1986.
Thank you.
Found a nice spot from one side of the Singapore River. There were some nice white fluffy clouds hovering above the residential apts. The underbelly of the bridge was well lit. A perfect setting for another series of long exposures..
This one is derivative of 4 sections with the 14mm setting ! Yes ;-). So tells you how wideee this is.
2 for the length, with 70 % overlap. 2 for the bottom stonebank.

The barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the brant goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the cackling goose lineage.

The Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the Brent Goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the Cackling Goose lineage.The Barnacle goose was first classified taxonomically by Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1803. Its specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek leuko- "white", and opsis "faced".
In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles. It is sometimes claimed that the word comes from a Celtic word for "limpet", but the sense-history seems to go in the opposite direction.[2]The Barnacle Goose is a medium-sized goose, 60–70 cm long,[3] with a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. During flight a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible.
Barnacle Geese breed mainly on the Arctic islands of the North Atlantic. There are three main populations, with separate breeding and wintering ranges; from west to east:
Breeding in eastern Greenland, wintering on the Hebrides of western Scotland and in western Ireland. Population about 40,000.
Breeding on Svalbard, wintering on the Solway Firth on the England/Scotland border. Population about 24,000.
Breeding on Novaya Zemlya, wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 130,000.
A new fourth population, derived from the Novaya Zemlya population, has become established since 1975 breeding on the Baltic Sea islands (Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden), and wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 8,000.
Small numbers of feral birds, derived from escapes from zoo collections, also breed in other north European countries. Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.
Another shot from the archives, this time from last years Silverstone Classic and a photo of the Mark Sumpter Porsche GT1 Evolution in action during the GT Legends session.
The 911 GT1 is more Porsche 962 than 911, taking the 962's engine (water-cooled, twin-turbocharged and intercooled, four valve per cylinder flat-six engine) and placing it in the mid-mounted position rather than behind the rear axel, as is more normal for 911 derivatives.
The Evolution model featured revised aerodynamics, including that rather heavy handed rear wing. the changes aided the GT1's overall performance, but the car still failed to complete the 24 hours of Le Mans due to reliability problems.

Warum ist der Fliegenpilz giftig?
Schuld an seiner Giftigkeit sind die im Pilz enthaltene Ibotensäure und Muscimol. Ibotensäure bildet beim Trocknen oder Extrahieren der Pilze mehrere Derivate – also chemische Verbindungen, die aus einer anderen entstehen. Beim Fliegenpilz bildet sich durch diese chemische Reaktion Muscimol. Wie stark Ibotensäure und dadurch auch Muscimol im Pilz vorkommen, hängt dabei in erster Linie vom Zeitraum der Ernte, aber auch vom Fundort ab. Bestimmte Böden und Nährstoffe verstärken die Konzentration.
Why is the toadstool poisonous?
The ibotenic acid and muscimol contained in the mushroom are responsible for its toxicity. When the mushrooms are dried or extracted, ibotenic acid forms several derivatives - chemical compounds that arise from another. Muscimol is formed in the fly agaric as a result of this chemical reaction. The amount of ibotenic acid and therefore also muscimol in the mushroom depends primarily on the period of harvest, but also on the place where it was found. Certain soils and nutrients increase the concentration.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, deliberately sounding more like Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band than The Boss himself at the height of his popularity, rode the mistaken identity ploy all the way to the top ten on the U. S. pop charts, anchoring the top-selling soundtrack album for the film "Eddie and the Cruisers (1983). The movie told the story of a rock band from New Jersey who in the 1960s had promise, but then their lead singer died (mysteriously). They had a reunion in the 80s as a result of a reporter's investigation into the singer's death. The soundtrack sounded much more 80s than 60s. The movie was a complete flop at the box office. And yet, here I am, playing air drums in public at an old drive-in theater just off Route 66, somewhere in New Mexico, I think.

Mariadistel (Silybum marianum)
De zaden van de Mariadistel worden al eeuwen lang gebruikt voor medicinale doeleinden. Uit de vruchtwand van het nootje worden stoffen voor medicinaal gebruik gewonnen. De vruchtwand bevat 4-6% van deze stoffen. De stof silymarine wordt gebruikt bij chronische leverkwalen en bij galblaaskwalen. Silibinine of een derivaat daarvan wordt gebruikt bij vergiftiging door amanieten, zoals de groene knolamaniet en de vliegenzwam. Ook wordt mariadistel veelvuldig gebruikt voor leveronderhoud bij het gebruik van orale 17aa-methylsteroïden. Verder komen nog de stoffen silydianine en silychristine voor. Mariadistel verlaagt ook LDL-cholesterol

Świnica (Polish) or Svinica (Slovak) is a mountain in the main crest of the High Tatras, on the Polish-Slovak border. The main peak is at 2,301 m AMSL. A marked trail leads through the summit. The Polish name Świnica (derivative form of a pig or swine) was given to this summit in the mid 19th century. It probably refers to the resemblance of the peak to silhouette of a swine. Another, doubtful explanation, is that the summit was difficult to reach

My granddaughter`s mug hand painted at play school, with some help.Esmé comes from the past participle of the Old French verb esmer, meaing “to esteem” or “to love.” It can also be considered a derivative of the Spanish name Esmeralda. Esmé was traditionally as masculine name, as in its original bearer, Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, and Esmée, with the same pronunciation, was the feminine form. Today both spellings are used as feminine given names.

Maria
Origin and meaning of Mary
Maria is a Hebrew girl name and is a variant of Mirjam. The name Mirjam is known from the Old Testament. She was the sister of Moses.
The derivative Mary appeared in the New Testament. That is how the mother of Jesus bore this name. This maiden name has become much more popular than her tribal name.

The derivative Mary appeared in the New Testament. That is how the mother of Jesus bore this name. This maiden name has become much more popular than her tribal name.
It is not known exactly what the name Maria means. There are more than sixty different explanations. This is partly because the name was originally only written with consonants.
Usually the maiden name is declared as "bitterness". In the Middle Ages, the name Maria was often associated with the Latin word "mare", which means "sea".
Only later in the Middle Ages did the name become popular in our part of Europe. It is common among Roman Catholics to give the name Mary to boys as a second or third baptismal name.

Breeding on Svalbard, wintering on the Solway Firth on the England/Scotland border. Population about 24,000.
Breeding on Novaya Zemlya, wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 130,000.
A new fourth population, derived from the Novaya Zemlya population, has become established since 1975 breeding on the Baltic Sea islands (Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden), and wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 8,000.
Small numbers of feral birds, derived from escapes from zoo collections, also breed in other north European countries. Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.
We arrived early in the morning, minutes after the cathedral opened. It was close to empty. The gothic architecture is fantastic, and the light and the colors coming from the windows makes it a beautiful experience, as well as giving some great photos.

#5151 - 2022 Day 37: What's this? Ken posting something derivative and not straight out of camera? Whatever next? Truth is I went to find Ctrl+Alt+I to resize and hit Ctrl+I instead, inverting the colours. I was actually intrigued enough to like it. That's ALL I've done though; everything else is indeed untouched.

Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus),

Archaeologists exploring a cave in Spain in 1935 found baskets of poppy capsules laid beside human remains dating back to 4000 BC. On a 3,000-year-old statue from Minoan Crete, a Poppy Goddess statue wears an opium poppy headdress. According to classical Greek myths, poppies flowered along the banks of the River Lethe which flowed to Hades, and from which the dead had to drink to forget their former existence in the world of the living. Its petals are the colour of blood, and the opium poppy is a source of morphine, a powerful painkiller which made the physical agonies of war more bearable, and which was a derivative of opium.
