Aiguille du Midi, m. 3842 (ft 12605)-(Gruppo del Monte Bianco) – ore 7,30 del mattino – Per pura combinazione colgo questa immagine. Si tratta di un numeroso gruppo di guide alpine francesi e scalatori cher scendono sul Ghiacciaio del Gigante per protestare contro il funzionamento delle telecabine Italia-Francia che, per l’appunto, sorvolano in alto il Ghiacciaio del Gigante
Aiguille du Midi, m. 3842 (ft 12605)-(Mont Blanc Group) - 7.30 am - For pure combination I take this image. A large group of French mountain guides and climbers descend on the Gigante Glacier to protest against the operation of the Italy-France cableway which, in fact, flies over the Gigante Glacier

clouds came across the path of the sun, but it disappears beyond the forest and the land falls hastily in twilight../ Nedstigning...molnen ställer sig i vägen för solen, men den slinkar undan och sänker sig bakom skogen, skymningen faller snabbt över landet.../ Descenso..., unas nubes se atraviesan en el camino del sol, pero desaparece tras el bosque y el campo entra de golpe en penumbras...(DSC_7584-2)
I met these two walkers who seemed to have had enough of the cold wet and windy conditions up top. Photo taken on Comb Crags, as a brief sunny spell brushes Middle Tongue on the flanks of Helvellyn.
La valleuse de Vaucottes, que l’on atteint par une route pittoresque en venant de Vattetot-sur-Mer par le Bois des Hogues ou d’Yport par la côte, offre une vue vertigineuse sur la falaise et constitue un spectacle saisissant de beauté ! Le charmant chemin qui descend jusqu’à la mer vous promène entre deux versants de la vallée, où se dressent des manoirs délicats et des villas étonnantes et somptueuses. Dans l’une d’elles, la Villa Marie-Louise où séjourna Maurice Leblanc, auteur des célèbres aventures d’Arsène Lupin.

A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.

St. Pauli-Elbtunnel
Hamburg
"Am 30. November 1909 war ein erster Bauabschnitt, der Schacht in St. Pauli, im Rohbau fertig, am 29. März 1910 wurde schon die Oströhre durchgeschlagen, am 1. Juni folgte die Weströhre.
Auch oberirdisch sollte Hamburgs neuer Stolz Maßstäbe setzen. Verantwortlich dafür zeichnete Otto Wöhlecke vom Altonaer Architektenbüro Raabe & Wöhlecke, von dem auch das Landungsbrücken-Ensemble stammt. Der Elbtunnel galt als »Kathedrale der Technik«, Sinnbild unaufhaltsamen Fortschritts, und wurde entsprechend gestaltet. Die Eingangsgebäude waren – wenn schon, denn schon – mit Rotunde, Säulen und tempelartigen Giebeln dem Pantheon in Rom nachempfunden. Das stieß nicht überall auf ungeteilte Begeisterung: »Einem Mausoleum nicht unähnlich«, mäkelte die Zeitschrift Deutsche Bauhütte.
Die beiden Gebäude hatten identische Silhouetten, bestanden aber aus verschiedenen Materialien: rotem Backstein auf Steinwerder, passend zu den umliegenden Zoll- und Werftbauten, Tuffstein, Basalt und Granit in St. Pauli, um die Landungsbrücken optisch zu ergänzen."
Driving around that bend on the left of the picture, one was faced with a sudden descent that made your hair stand on end !

Out of the bosom of the Air
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
Hạ Long Bay (Vịnh Hạ Long, literally: "descending dragon bay") is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular travel destination in Quảng Ninh Province, Vietnam. Administratively, the bay belongs to Hạ Long City, Cẩm Phả town, and is a part of Vân Đồn District. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various shapes and sizes. Hạ Long Bay is a center of a larger zone which includes Bái Tử Long Bay to the northeast, and Cát Bà Island to the southwest. These larger zones share a similar geological, geographical, geomorphological, climate and cultural characters.
Hạ Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone. The core of the bay has an area of 334 km2 with a high density of 775 islets. The limestone in this bay has gone through 500 million years of formation in different conditions and environments. The evolution of the karst in this bay has taken 20 million years under the impact of the tropical wet climate.
The geo-diversity of the environment in the area has created biodiversity, including a tropical evergreen biosystem, oceanic and sea shore biosystem. Hạ Long Bay is home to 14 endemic floral species and 60 endemic faunal species.
Historical research surveys have shown the presence of prehistorical human beings in this area tens of thousands years ago. The successive ancient cultures are the Soi Nhụ culture around 18,000–7000 BC, the Cái Bèo culture 7000–5000 BC and the Hạ Long culture 5,000–3,500 years ago.
Hạ Long Bay also marked important events in the history of Vietnam with many artifacts found in Bài Thơ Mount, Đầu Gỗ Cave, Bãi Cháy.
500 years ago, Nguyễn Trãi praised the beauty of Hạ Long Bay in his verse Lộ nhập Vân Đồn, in which he called it "rock wonder in the sky". In 1962, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of North Vietnam listed Hạ Long Bay in the National Relics and Landscapes publication. In 1994, the core zone of Hạ Long Bay was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site according to criterion vii, and listed for a second time according to criterion viii.

This bird and the pose just makes me think of an angel coming down from above.
In this shot, the bird was heading towards the feeder but he wasn't quite within the sweet spot for the best focus. He hit that just as he was landing and also as he left the feeder.
So the sharpness is definitely lacking a bit but I thought the overall aesthetics were pleasing anyway so I decided I share it. Can't always get that perfection but sometimes we get what we get.
And it's so rare to see these birds do anything other than scale up and down a tree trunk. So I'll take it, even if it's not perfect.

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring —
When weeds in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

Here is another opportunity capture that presented itself when down in the underground fort in Maine. The standing water made a neat reflection there in the tunnel section. Was able to catch this young lad coming back down the stairs.

Unfortunately I don't have much time to take photos at the moment as I'm busy with preparing my move to another apartment and also there's a lot going on at work (will have to change something about that too, and soon). Anyway, I guess I'll keep posting holiday photos from last month for some time...
Small, sturdy songbird in the family Muscicapidae.
The bird is found in Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Their preferred habitats are streams, nullahs and rivers with boulders that are shaded, as well as vegetation near riverbanks. Streams with higher populations of insects such as mayflies appear to be preferred.
They are typically found at relatively high elevations, with the ones living in the Himalayas seen between 2000 m and 4100 m. However, they tend to descend to lower altitudes during the winter.
