There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

The Lauterbrunnen valley is one of the deepest in the Alps, comparing the height difference of the adjacent mountains and the valley floor. In some places the cliff walls are 1000 m high. Streams flowing down the mountains, at the edge of the rocky valley walls, form high waterfalls. The most famous of these are the Staubbach Falls (visible on the right) and the Trummelbach Falls. The 297 m high Staubbach Falls is the tallest free-fall waterfall in Switzerland.

Dolina Lauterbrunnen jest jedną z najgłębszych w Alpach, porównując różnicę wysokości przyległych gór i dno doliny. W niektórych miejscach ściany klifu mają wysokość sięgającą 1000 m. Strumienie spływające z gór, na skraju skalistych ścian doliny, tworzą wysokie wodospady. Najbardziej znanym z nich jest wodospad Staubbach (widoczny po prawej) oraz wodospad Trummelbach . Wodospad Staubbach o wysokości 297 m jest najwyższym wodospadem swobodnie spadającym w Szwajcarii.

 

Thursday October 6th - Clarity

It seems at first glance that the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are sitting on the headland of Cullernose Point. Not so! They are in fact a further 3km distant.

Very different visibility from the vista the day before looking towards Dunstanburgh from a much closer spot on the other (north) side of Cullernose Point!

What a difference a year can make.

 

This morning Facebook asked if I wanted to share a memory from one year ago. The photo was of a Reddish egret taken in January of 2022 at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida.

 

A year ago, at this time Sanibel was swamped with both tourists and resident and seasonal birds, an estimated 247 different species. If you looked for it, you could find evidence of past hurricanes and tropical storms that had visited, mainly in the live oaks, but you had to look closely. Then 28 September of 2022 arrived with Hurricane Ian, a direct hit by a category four hurricane.

 

I sat and staired at the photo for quite some time, wondering if this beautiful creature survived. Wildlife doesn’t have many options when nature is at its worst. In the case of birds, they have two basic options. Some use the winds of the initial bands to propel them out of harms way. Others ride it out, taking shelter where they can.

 

While researching what wildlife does in hurricanes, a sad scenario was presented. It is well documented that birds often become trapped in the eye of hurricanes, taking flight possibly thinking it is over, then flying in a panic unable to escape the storms walls.

 

Here is an unreleased archive shot of the beautiful creature I was blessed to photograph, as I hope and pray it is well.

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.

 

There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:

Even with our differences

There is a place we're all connected

Each of us can find each others' light

 

For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.

 

I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,

"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.

 

I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!

  

Alone

by Maya Angelou

 

Lying, thinking

Last night

How to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirsty

And bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thing

And I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

 

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

 

There are some millionaires

With money they can't use

Their wives run round like banshees

Their children sing the blues

They've got expensive doctors

To cure their hearts of stone.

But nobody

No, nobody

Can make it out here alone.

 

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

 

Now if you listen closely

I'll tell you what I know

Storm clouds are gathering

The wind is gonna blow

The race of man is suffering

And I can hear the moan,

'Cause nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

 

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).

There is a huge difference in appearance between the male and the female. The male has a mostly bright green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.

It was first thought that they were of two distinct species.

What is the difference between "I like you" and "I love you"?

Buddha replies: when you like a flower, you take it. When you love a flower you water it all day.

Whoever understands this understands life.

(Buddha)

Huge differences in weather from the eastern part of Norway to the west coast, so now there is only rain and wind ahead 😂

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

- Why are you in the shadows?

- we are the different

- the different ones?

- yes, the ones that nobody wants to see, the ugly ones, the dented

ones, the failed, the incomplete ,that are not the right kind

- how sad it is...

- What can I do to help you?

- tell our story, tell them that the difference is not a fatality,

that we too are capable of being among you.

When I came upon this Cormorant gazing out over the water at a local lake, I wondered if it was lonely or just liked hanging-out alone. I’ve found there is a difference.

…One for Sliders Sunday - besides the obvious B&W -V- Colour can you see some magic sliding gone on to make them nearer to the Olympic rings - no photoshop only Lightroom and no washers were mutilated in the process! See 1st comment box for other shot - original one from last weeks Macro Monday. Happy Sliders Sunday, Alan:-) HSS…..

Taken about an hour apart this evening ...

This is a featheredge fence covered in algae, taken with the camera pointing downwards. And then I flipped it vertically. And then, for Sliders Sunday, I played with the colour sliders (Levels adjustment on individual RGB channels - that’s a new one for me :) ).

 

Well, that’s not exactly all.

 

It’s also an in-camera multiple exposure using three ICMs, the first two quite blurred, and Darken blend mode. To be honest this bit didn’t make a lot of difference apart from smoothing the lines.

 

I’ll post a link to the in-camera original for the ME/ICMs in the first comment.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x and Sliders Sunday!

Now that the Jubilee four day holiday is over, things can get back to normal - not that the ponies would ever notice the difference

It is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the 'pigeon'. The domestic pigeon descended from this species. Escaped domestic pigeons have raised the populations of feral pigeons around the world. Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, whereas domestic and feral pigeons vary in colour and pattern. Few differences are seen between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe alone. 15770

One image was taken last night at 10 PM. The other image was taken at 8 AM this morning. Do you see the one difference? Poor Pumpkin! 😂

This small place, located in the historical core of Liège, has been entirely renewed between 1978 and 1985. Charles Vandenhove (1927-) was the architect of the project. He proposed an intervention on the XVIIth and XVIIIth century building characterized by a marked difference between existing structures and new ones, through the use of steel and concrete and postmodern architecture. As one can see from the picture, the place has kept its character and attractiveness over the years…

One of the main differences between juveniles and adults is that younger birds tend to have pale brownish tails with evenly spaced bars.

Another reliable way to identify a juvenile Red-tailed hawk juvenile is by its iris, which is yellowish for around 1.5 years, then turning red-brown during adulthood.

Huge albatross of the Southern Ocean. Two subspecies: “Gibson’s” breeds primarily on Auckland Island and ranges at sea around New Zealand and eastern Australia; “Antipodean” breeds mostly on Antipodes and Campbell Islands and ranges mainly across Pacific to Humboldt Current off Chile. Plumage highly variable, starting chocolate-brown with a white face and gradually becoming whiter over many years. Younger birds separated from Southern Royal Albatross by darker tail, brown markings on head and back, and lack of black “lips” on cutting edge of bill. Older birds more difficult to separate; focus on more coarsely marked upperwings, often with conspicuous white patch in center of wing, and lack of black “lips”. Often shows orange stain on cheek, never shown by Southern Royal. Identification from other Wandering-type Albatross is extremely difficult and often presumed by range. Older “Antipodean” often retain complete dark cap, tail, and upperwings. (eBird)

Large albatross with a total length of 110–117 cm (1) and a wingspan of 2.8–3.3 m. (Birds of the World)

-------------------

Another close encounter with an albatross. Just slightly smaller than the Southern Royal Albatross posted earlier, the best way to tell the difference is the lack of "black lips" on this bird. The bill is also slightly pinker. Regardless, it was seabird overload at Kaikoura and I loved every minute of it.

The difference between the two is startling when they're close together. The Great Egret towers over the Snowy Egret! Lovely birds that look so much alike from a distance but are so startlingly different when seen together.
