Also known as the Eastern Gray Squirrel, native to eastern North America where it is an essential natural forester. Less arboreal than then the Red Squirrel as the grey tends to feed extensively on the ground. Its not their fault that there over here in the UK that one lie's with the worlds most destructive and most dangerous animal on the planet called the human. This is one of the first wild mammals that children can get to see regally and so sometimes help encourage them to get into nature.
Ceiling in one of the newer buildings in Christchurch , NZ
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.
Just a black vulture perched on a wood post. This one was in front of a farm. In Hershey, Pennsylvania these birds have been “destructive by nature,” and cause damage to homes and property in the neighborhood, as well as at Hersheypark’s ZooAmerica, where they were a nuisance last year.
Black vultures, which can have wingspans up to 5 feet, are protected under federal laws. It’s illegal in the U.S. to trap or kill the birds without a permit, and violators can face a fine of up to $15,000 and six months in prison.

As in storm. Never as destructive as a Nor'easter but quite a blow. Thanks for the look and have a great evening.
In antiquity a town called Thermae (Greek: Θερμαί, hot springs) existed on the site. In 1847, an announcement in Italy asserting the therapeutic benefits of bathing in the natural thermal spas found in Loutraki caused an influx of settlers in the surrounding areas, thereby creating modern Loutraki. In 1928 Loutraki was completely destroyed by earthquake and rebuilt. A large park was created by reclaiming sea area using the rubble of the fallen houses. Another strong earthquake hit the area in 1981 with less destructive effects.
" In my room, with nothing but me and my destructive mind. Its overthinking all the little details. Its not knowing why that person suddenly stopped talking. Its that corrosive feeling of worthlessness that your mind convinced you of being. Its when war wages on inside your brittle self and you know you could not hold on any longer. Its when youre all alone with no one there to save you from yourself. Its a torture that makes death seem like a friend. Beckoning you into its embrace."
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

Sächsische Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz
Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.
Bergformen
In der Regel sind zwei Bergformen zu unterscheiden. Als Steine werden zahlreiche Felsformationen des Elbsandsteingebirges in der Böhmischen und Sächsischen Schweiz bezeichnet. Prominente Beispiele sind der Königstein, der Lilienstein, Gohrisch und Papststein. Die Bezeichnung erstreckt sich nicht auf die hügelartigen Kuppen aus vulkanischem Basalt oder granitischem Material des Grundgebirges wie die Waitzdorfer Höhe oder den Großen Winterberg.
Die kretazischen Sandsteingebilde ragen aus den sogenannten Ebenheiten heraus, dem ehemaligen Niveau der Elbe, und stellen ihrerseits Reste einer früheren Rumpffläche dar. Im Zuge der spättertiären Anhebung des Erzgebirges und des seitlichen Druckes vom Lausitzer Bergland zerbrach die Sandsteinplatte kreuzgitterartig, was bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Fließgeschwindigkeit der Elbe und rückschreitender Erosion in den Seitentälern Angriffsmöglichkeiten und Leitbahnen für die zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers bot. Zunächst verblieben die größeren Tafelberge (Lilienstein), oder bereits stark zerklüftete wie Zirkelstein oder Kaiserkrone, oder aber bereits bewaldete (Kohlbornstein), die sich bei weiterer erosiver Zerstörung in langgezogene Grate (Schrammsteine) bis hin zu einzelnen Felsnadeln (Torwächter) auflösten. Morphologisch härtere Schichtpartien, die der Erosion länger und erfolgreicher Widerstand leisten, bilden meist die oberste Schicht. Der Zusammenbruch erfolgt somit meist von unten her bzw. von den Felsflanken.

Saxon Switzerland - Elbe Sandstone Mountains
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland
Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with local and international climbers.
The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
Hills
As a rule, two types of hill may be distinguished.
Numerous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in both Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland, are known locally in this region as Steine ("rocks"). Prominent examples are the Königstein, the Lilienstein, the Gohrisch and the Papststein. This description does not, however, include the dome-shaped Kuppen such as the Waitzdorfer Höhe or the Großer Winterberg, whose bedrock is made of volcanic basalt or granitic material.
The Cretaceous sandstone formations soar above the so-called "levels" of their surrounding area, the former level of the River Elbe, and represent the remains of an old peneplain. In the course of the Late Tertiary, uplifting of the Ore Mountains and sideways pressure from the Lusatian Highlands shattered the sandstone plate along lines that intersected like a grid and this, combined with the simultaneously increasing stream velocity of the Elbe and regressive erosion in its side valleys, offered new lines of attack and new routes for the destructive power of water. Initially the larger table hills (Lilienstein), or those already deeply fissured like Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone or already forested (Kohlbornstein), remained, but these too broke up later as a result of erosive destruction into long ridges (Schrammsteine) or even into individual rock pinnacles (Torwächter). Morphologically harder sections of strata, that resisted karstification longer and more successfully, generally form the uppermost layers. The collapse of rock structures is usually therefore a result of erosion from below or from the flanks.
Why try to do normally in these dangerous times?
what is so important that you put your life at risk?
look..he doesn't even have his nose covered..
so dumb n self-destructive
cover yer nose and mouth
keep yer distance...now more important than ever
wash n sanitize yer hands
be smart n alert

This was taken upstream from the previous shot, the pink flowers are Himalayan Balsam, highly invasive and destructive to river banks.
8-Sep Northern Utah experienced a destructive wind storm with gusts reaching 99 mph (159 km/h). 200,000 homes/businesses without power (I am one of those).
I prefer not to photograph destruction or bad things and instead try to find beauty in all. So naturally, I headed out to the Great Salt Lake!
Photographing out in the open was a real challenge; my tripod would not stay, so I shot handheld. The salt spray was everywhere, and I was coated in salt.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
No need to comment – Just enjoy :-)
This bolt seemed to be searching for something before it hit. Taken at Panama City Beach, FL. Nature reminds me of Gods peace that transcends understanding, How something destructive can also be so beautiful. Thanks for looking and may God Bless you/!

∎ "'Climate crisis' or 'Earth overheating' are more precise terms. They make the cause and urgency of the problem clearer. In other policy areas we are quick to use the term 'crisis' - euro crisis or refugee crisis - but avoid it when we talk about the fundamental distortions of our planetary system. That says a lot about the political importance of the various policy areas.”

This is actually the first nymph form of this bug that I've seen in the area. It's an invasive and highly destructive species.

We have not seen this much snow since the pandemic began. It came yesterday. Not long after this photo was taken, one of the big tree branches collapsed. Snow was pretty, but can also be destructive. It caused us out of power for 20 hours in a fridge temperature.
Witnessing the erosion and destructive forces of both volcanism and wind/sea at Capelos on the Azores island of Faial, a SciFi lover will easily be reminded of Frank Herbert's planet Arrakis / Dune and its capital Arrakeen. It certainly had this effect on me and I was ready to witness sandworms in this desert ;) In the background lie the remains of the Capelinhos volcano which erupted twice between 1957 and 1958.
Little Orphan Raccoons there mother was bringing them up here to mooch some food, she started when she was expecting, foraging hard for something to eat, when she had the babies she brought them up to eat. One day they came by themselves, then the next day, they were starving, they had not learned to find food yet. I started to feed them, the dark one was very aggressive, the other two not so much. They got bigger and did survive, they learned to hunt. The dark one still comes by occasionally, I recognized him because of color, the other two probably are out there. They got a bit destructive for a bit, then calmed down.

More properly known as Coypu (Myocastor coypus), a destructive invasive in Texas, previously over-running the Riverstone Wetlands in Sugar Land. Then a alligator came into the wetlands, maybe from the nearby Steep Bank Creek, and the nutria were gone. Now the alligator's gone, possibly removed from these family-friendly wetlands, and the nutria are back. Nutria eat tree roots and grass stems as seen here. BTW, the red incisors are typical of rodents.

Off-shore winds try to push back the waves. Whilst not huge by comparison with elsewhere in the world. these waves can be very destructive despite being between the sand bars and the coast. On the horizon you can see the white horses as they cross the sand bars. That is usually an area where ships can anchor to stay safe from the storms - an area known in history as the Yarmouth Roads. Robinson Crusoe is supposed to have begun his journey here! Most often in the winter the ships can be seen lined up inside the 'roads' even today, to avoid paying harbour tax yet to escape the worst of the storm. But on this day, even though it was July, they were seeking harbour.
The wonderfully red sunset after a destructive rainstorm over Kuala Lumpur - nature can be very angry, but she sure is beautiful
We’ve had several days of unstable weather as humid summer air rises up over the Appalachian peaks and condenses into thunderclouds as it cools. The resulting storms can get destructive, but they sure make for pretty skies while they’re brewing.

La eslora es la dimensión de un navío tomada a su largo, desde la proa hasta la popa...
Esta distancia se mide paralelamente a la línea de agua de diseño, entre dos planos perpendiculares a línea de crujía; un plano pasa por la parte más saliente a popa de la embarcación y el otro por la parte más saliente a proa de la embarcación.
Se incluyen todas las partes estructurales o integrales como son proas o popas, amuradas y uniones de casco con cubierta. Se excluye el púlpito de proa, en cuyo caso, el plano de referencia pasa por el punto de intersección de la cubierta con la roda. Asimismo, se excluyen todas las partes desmontables que puedan serlo de forma no destructiva y sin afectar a la integridad estructural de la embarcación.
The length is the size of a ship made in his long, from the bow and stern ...
This distance is measured parallel to the water line design, between two planes perpendicular to line corridor, a plane passing through the most outgoing astern of the vessel and the other by the most outbound bow of the boat.
It includes all the structural parts or integrated as PROAS or popas, bulwarks and hull to deck joints. Excluding the bow pulpit, in which case the reference plane passing through the intersection point of the cover with the stem. It also excludes all removable parts that can not be so destructive and without affecting the structural integrity of the vessel.
Bo isn't a destructive dog by nature, she is a tranquil girl, she loves to chew on toys but she doesn't eat them.
Sometime, when she's alone, for boredom, she creates her work of art on the wall of corridor.
She did holes everywhere.
Last week a mason came home to fix some of them.
“I am humbled by the destructive and creative nature in us all. This is what keeps me painting.” – FAITH47 (American street artist).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 14th of June is "murals". Now, I won’t lie: being a traditionalist, I am no fan of street art, even though I know it is a legitimate and ever evolving art form. Last year I went to a famous Melbourne artists’ market, the Rose Street Market, looking for gifts for Christmas. The inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, where Rose Street and the Rose Street Market are, is famous for its murals and street art, as there is so much of it there. This mural is on a small apartment block on Rose Street in Fitzroy, and I only discovered it because I went to the market, and even I must confess that it is very beautiful with its two pink galahs looking down with beady eyes. As I learned from a dear Flickr friend John from Brisbane that the beautiful orange brown eyes that they have denote these two are females. I dedicate this photo to my very dear Flickr friend whom some of you know, The Pocket Rocket. She is a lover (and photographer of) Australian birds, including galahs, and her favourite colour is pink. . I hope you like my choice of this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
