Yellowhammer - Emberiza Citrinella
The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a passerine bird in the bunting family that is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Most European birds remain in the breeding range year-round, but the eastern subspecies is partially migratory, with much of the population wintering further south. The male yellowhammer has a bright yellow head, streaked brown back, chestnut rump and yellow underparts. Other plumages are duller versions of the same pattern. The yellowhammer is common in open areas with some shrubs or trees, and forms small flocks in winter. Its song has a rhythm like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". The song is very similar to that of its closest relative, the pine bunting, with which it interbreeds.
Yellowhammer males learn their songs from their fathers, and over the course of time regional dialects have developed, with minor differences to the conclusion of the basic song; all are mutually recognised by birds from different areas. Each male has an individual repertoire of song variants within its regional dialect; females tend to mate with males that share their dialect, and prefer those with the largest repertoires.
The pine bunting and yellowhammer are so closely related that each responds to the other's song. The male yellowhammer's song is more attractive to females, and is one reason for the dominance of that species where the ranges overlap.
Yellowhammers of the British and Irish race, E. c. caliginosa were introduced to New Zealand by local acclimatisation societies in 1862, and soon spread over the main islands. They sometimes visit New Zealand's subantarctic islands, although rarely staying to breed, and have reached Australia's Lord Howe Island on a number of occasions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bunting was seen as a serious agricultural pest in its adopted country.
Populations of yellowhammer have also been introduced to the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The yellowhammer is a bird of dry open country, preferably with a range of vegetation types and some trees from which to sing. It is absent from urban areas, forests and wetlands. Probably originally found at forest edges and large clearing, it has benefited from traditional agriculture, which created extensive open areas with hedges and clumps of trees.
Populations have declined in recent decades in western Europe, including the British Isles, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy. The yellowhammer is a red-list (severely declining) species in Ireland and the UK In eastern Europe, numbers appear to be stable, although the trend in Russia is unknown. Changes to agricultural practices are thought to be responsible for reduced breeding densities. The introduced population in New Zealand has been very successful, with breeding densities much higher than in the UK.
This is developed in DDG with the T2D tool using the sunset image I posted yesterday as a base. No further edits.
As you can see the structure of the image is almost identical. This is an impasto palette knife version with the emphasis on the light reflections and flaming colors. To me this is a lot more alike to what I saw than the camera image. The sky was ablaze!
I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans :-)

A beautiful Autumn road photographed at the Big Creek (upper) Spillway near Polk City, Iowa. All our colorful leaves are down now, but it was great while it lasted.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.
In a, for the time of year, very cold polar airmass, weak showers developed. They were more like cumulus or stratocumulus clouds with some minor precipitation.
The temperature of the tops of these clouds was just below the freezing point, and so they could develop some precipitation due to a meteorological phenomenon, called the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process.

Dunes, Blowing Dust. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A late-afternoon spring dust storm sweeps across sand dunes, Death Valley National Park.
This was a wild scene. By late afternoon it was clear that high winds and blowing dust were on their way. We hunkered down for a while and ate an early dinner while waiting to see what would develop. The winds continued to build and the sand and dust were heading more and more in our direction. These conditions are both compelling and extremely uncomfortable, but my desire to photograph overcame my common sense and I headed out.
Since the winds were blowing from to my left and a bit behind me, I decided to head to an elevated spot where I would at least not be directly the blowing sand. From this location I could look down and across the dunes and the clouds of sand sweeping across them. The wind was still a problem, a big problem actually. It was blowing so hard that even my relatively stout tripod was useless, so I leaned against a fixed object, raised the shutter speed, turned on image-stabilization and hoped for the best. It was literally impossible to hold the camera steady, so I resorted to timing my exposures for brief moments when things at least slowed down a little bit.

Panoramic view of the road that leads to L'Ametlla de Segarra, in Catalonia, surrounded with gorgeous spring fields around it.
Managed to sneak out with the pup for a few minutes last night and catch this shot just as the sun was trying to break throught the clouds. Was kind of playing around and didn't think I;d have much time so I set the camera to 7 exp. at +/- 1/3 stops and converted in Photmatix.
I'm kind of liken the way this one developed
Hope you all have a great weekend ahead of you

Mehrere Bundesländer, nicht alle, veranstalten in unregelmäigen Abständen Landesgartenschauen, bekannt unter der Abkürzung LAGA. In Sachsen findet sie 2022 vom 23. April bis 9. Oktober in der durch ihre Renaissancearchitektur bekannten Stadt Torgau an der Elbe statt. Der größte Bereich der LAGA ist der seit dem 19. Jahrhundert bestehende Stadtpark auf dem Glacis der ehemaligen Festung Torgau. Die Festung Torgau entwickelte sich im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert aus einer Erweiterung der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer. 1811 wurde sie als sächsische Festung unter König Friedrich August I. auf Anforderung Napoleon Bonaparte ausgebaut. Nach Ende der Befreiungskriege musste Torgau 1815 vom Königreich Sachsen an Preußen übergeben werden. Die Festung wurde nun als preußische Festung weiter ausgebaut, bis sie 1889 aufgegeben und in den folgenden Jahrzehnten größtenteils abgerissen wurde. Der Stadtpark, den wir vor fünf Jahren zuletzt gesehen hatten, wurde durch Blumenbeete, einen Ornissteg genannten Steg zur Beobachtung der Vögel auf dem See und erneuerte Wege deutlich und nachhaltig aufgewertet. Daneben gibt es den "Jungen Garten" mit Spielplätzen, Sport- und Skate-Anlagen, das neu erschlossene Erholungsgelände der Eichwiese, durch das man zu den Elbwiesen gelangt mit einem Aussichtsturm und ein kleineres Areal am Weg von der Elbe zum Schloss mit einem Konzertplatz und einer Dahlenschau.
Several German federal states, not all, hold state garden shows at irregular intervals, known by the abbreviation LAGA. In Saxony, it is being held in 2022 from 23 April to 9 October in the town of Torgau on the Elbe, famous for its Renaissance architecture. The largest area of the LAGA is the city park, which has existed since the 19th century on the glacis of the former Torgau Fortress. Torgau Fortress developed in the 17th and 18th centuries from an extension of the medieval city wall. In 1811 it was expanded as a Saxon fortress under King Friedrich August I at the request of Napoleon Bonaparte. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Torgau had to be handed over from the Kingdom of Saxony to Prussia in 1815. The fortress was now further developed as a Prussian fortress until it was abandoned in 1889 and largely demolished in the following decades. The city park, which we last saw five years ago, has been significantly and sustainably upgraded with flower beds, a footbridge called Ornissteg for bird watching on the lake and renewed paths. In addition, there is the "Young Garden" with playgrounds, sports and skating facilities, the newly developed recreational area of the Eichwiese (Oak Meadows), through which one can reach the Elbe meadows with a lookout tower, and a smaller area on the path from the Elbe to the Renaissance castle with a concert area and a dahlia show.
Lots of desirable and expensive properties bordering the River Trent, just off Millgate in Newark. Although there are plenty of new developments of the old warehouses, because space is at a premium, quite a few little cottages were developed as well. This small row, with their tiny gardens are quite delightful although car parking space is very limited.
Hornby Castle in North Lancashire is now more of a country house that was developed from a medieval castle. The Grade I-listed building overlooks the village of Hornby in the Lune Valley in the north of the county.
The castle originally dates from the 13th century but virtually nothing from that period is now left. The polygonal tower dates from the 16th century.
During the English Civil War the castle was captured and subsequently occupied in 1648 by the Duke of Hamilton and his Scottish army. The castle then changed hands a number of times over the subsequent years. Much of the structure was rebuilt between 1847 and 1850, though the older parts, including the polygonal tower, were retained. Further additions and alterations were made later in the 19th century.

Ningú havia vist aquestes fotos fins ara, sobretot els que les varen fer. Fins que jo les he revelat ara.
Aquestes finestres son la única imatge visible d'un rodet en un horrible estat de conservació. No només s'havia mullat completament en algun moment (el paper estava completament enganxat a la pel·licula), sino arrugat en més d'un punt, quasi no el vaig poder carregar al revelador.
S'anomena "found film" a aquelles fotografies en pel•licula o placa que es troben sense revelar dins càmeres velles o per altres racons. La gracia és que ningú ha vist mai aquestes fotografies.
Aquest rodet prové un conjunt comprat a algú de Barró, prop d'Angulema, a França.
Aquest rodet, de format 120, de Kodak Verichrome, i pertant segurament exposat entre els anys 40 i 50 (es produí entre 1931 i 1956). El vaig revelar amb HC110 uns 10 minuts.
===================================================
Nobody, even less the author, had seen these pictures until now. Until I've developed them in the dark room.
This façade is the only useable picture in a quite damaged roll of film. It had been completely damp at some point (the backing paper was glued to the film), and it was wrinkled so I almost couldn't load into the reel. The pictures were probably taken in the 40's or 50's of the XX Century.
They call "found film" at those images in film or plates that are find undeveloped inside old cameras or in other places, like boxes or old houses.
This film is part of a large pack I bought in the internet from somebody in Barro, near Angouleme, France.
This one was a 127 format Kodak Verichrome film, produced from 1931 to 1956; stand developed with HC110 in c.10 minutes.
The Corsa 505 program is focused on developing drivers into accomplished racers by competing in the deepest and most competitive fields in the nation.
To that end, the Spec Racer Ford is the most successful purpose built road racing car in the United States, with fields of over 30 cars at regional SCCA races and over 60 cars at the National Championship Runoffs. Additionally the Spec Racer Ford (SRF/SRF3) rules, stipulate that no performance enhancing modifications can be made to the car and thus the success of any racer in this class, is solely based on his or her own skill and nothing else. These attributes make the SRF3 Class the ideal platform for our Driver Development Program.
We are proud to have MBI Racing as our technical partner, providing full service 'arrive and drive' track support and driver coaching.
Located at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, MBI Racing is a full service race shop. The MBI team primarily races Spec Racer Fords (SRF/SRF3) but has considerable knowledge and experience in racing Formula Mazda, Formula Continental, and Formula F. To date, MBI has won thirteen Regional Championships and four National Championships.
Yesterday I posted to Substack a bit of writing (and audio) about why we embrace the imperfections of film photography.
Few things exemplify that as much as expired film developed in ECN-2. Here, there's color shifts and probably some odd development quirks. There are white specks all over it as well, though I don't remember why.
I shot this in 2021 and developed it that autumn. I don't know why it took me this long to share it. Probably because of the specks and shifts.
These imperfections, well, looks like I haven't quite embraced them. But it's still kind of a cool photo. And a wonderful place.
