Excerpt from livabl.com:
Artist: Shayne Dark
Location: X The Condominium, 588 Jarvis St., Toronto
Made up of 25 steel poles painted an eye-catching shade of red, the artwork debuted in 2010. The artist recently told The Grid the sculpture was inspired by sticks that washed up on the shore near his home on Fourteen Island Lake. No stranger to public art, Dark is also behind a similar piece called “Double Take” at the condo’s companion project, X2 as well as “Nova” at Tableau Condominiums in the city’s Entertainment District.
I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great.

Maybe I should waited until the 14th of February before I up loaded this one :-) :-) :-)
The moon rising in daylight taken on the same day as my last post only with a sigma 600mm mirror lense ,a bit noisy but a big moon .
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and The Creator.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that the great Creator wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Looking at the Telus Building from Vic Yehia’s Nosherie on Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver yesterday.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES. ABRAZOS,
Water, the Hub of Life.
Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium.
Water is the most extraordinary substance!
Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building
material for its machinery.
Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
This inviting bench waits for someone to sit on and admire the view at sunset ,taken at Craigavon lakes Co Armagh in Ireland.
Love on the Rocks indeed and they would have needed a couple of ice cubes to Cool down,
i watched in amazment at these two and i can honestly say that they would put Most Men to shame they were at it for almost an hour before i left them to there devices!
A Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is sharpening it's beak on an available log in the early morning light on Luce Bayou in Huffman, Texas, USA.
Spring started with good and unusual rain. This picture marks the end of the last rain event. The horizon is just about to bring back blue skies.
Fun watching a puddling party next to Pine log creek yesterday with weather in the 80's. Lots of Tiger swallowtails, a couple of Spicebush swallowtails (this woods is full of spicebushes & this is the most common black swallowtail I see), Silvery checkerspots, and a couple of others briefly. Just a few Zebra swallowtails were flying but none joined in. Usually all males at these parties. Pine Log WMA / North Georgia

Perhaps you truly can see forever with a double pupil. Perhaps you would just have double vision.
While there is a real medical condition called polycoria, the pupils don't actually form an infinity symbol.

From the inside out
And don't know what to do,
Remember love and friendship,
And warmth will come to you.”

The razorbill is a medium-sized seabird. It is black above and white below. It has a thick black beak which is deep and blunt, unlike the thinner bill of the similar guillemot. It breeds around the coast of the UK, with the largest colonies in northern Scotland. There are none breeding between the Humber and the Isle of Wight. Birds only come to shore to breed, and winter in the northern Atlantic. The future of this species is linked to the health of the marine environment. Fishing nets, pollution and declining fish stocks all threaten the razorbill.
It occurred to me recently that I hadn't yet posted a shot from Clapham North or Clapham Common. Tiny stations, but great fun.
April @ Callaway Gardens - Georgia. Shot from a footbridge - the kind of spot you'd love to sit for hours. Now a very rainy week here.
A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most oriented toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, its apparent movement north or south comes to a standstill.
The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense, as the date (day) that such a passage happens. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some languages they are considered to start or separate the seasons; in others they are considered to be centre points.
Of the many ways in which solstice can be defined, one of the most common (and perhaps most easily understood) is by the astronomical phenomenon for which it is named, which is readily observable by anyone on Earth: a "sun-standing." This modern scientific word descends from a Latin scientific word in use in the late Roman republic of the 1st century BC: solstitium. Pliny uses it a number of times in his Natural History with the meaning it still has, but the word is in common use in other authors. It contains two Latin-language segments, sol, "sun", and -stitium, "stoppage." By this "standing" the Romans meant a component of the relative velocity of the sun as it is observed in the sky. Relative velocity is the motion of an object from the point of view of an observer in a frame of reference; for example, if it is true that seen from a space ship the Earth orbits the sun, it is also true that seen from the Earth the sun orbits the Earth. Relative velocity is quite real; that is, the perceived motions of objects are entirely relative to point of view; one and the same motion appears different from different frames of reference, and there is no absolute frame of reference from which all other motions are to be described.
To an observer in inertial space, perhaps in a space craft, the Earth rotates about an axis and revolves around the sun in an elliptical path with the sun at one focus. This is the point of view of writers of astronomy textbooks. The Earth's axis is tilted rather than perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit and this axis maintains a position that changes little (but does change) with respect to the background of stars. An observer on Earth therefore sees a solar path that is the result of both rotation and revolution.
The component of the sun's motion seen by an Earth-bound observer caused by the revolution of the tilted axis, which, keeping the same angle in space, is oriented toward or away from the sun, is an observed diurnal increment (and lateral offset) of the elevation of the sun at noon for roughly six months and observed daily decrement for the remaining six months. At maximum or minimum elevation the relative motion at 90° to the horizon stops and changes direction by 180°. The maximum is the summer solstice and the minimum is the winter solstice. The path of the sun, or ecliptic, sweeps north and south between the northern and southern hemispheres. Around the summer solstice the days are longest and the shortest around the winter solstice. When the path crosses the equator the days and nights are of equal length, a condition called an equinox. There are two solstices and two equinoxes.
This is what greeted me at the front gate on my late return from a trip to Griffith today.....
The rain really pelted down all the way home but here only got a sprinkling....
Apparently double rainbows are rare and the second rainbow has the colours in reverse..

Another kayaking photo i took this picture of the rainbow on loughneagh at oxford island it was a showry day and i did get wet !! but worth every minute at this time when Ireland has just had its first Snow at Halloween for 30 years .
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
Cheetahs stand on tree branches or termite mounds to locate their prey.
They then try to get within 50 metres of their victims before moving in for the kill.
Special body adaptations allow cheetahs to reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour.
A full sprint lasts about 20 seconds and rarely more than a minute.
Most hunts fail so cheetahs are forced to eat quickly in case they are challenged for their food.
Diet
Cheetahs hunt small to medium-sized mammals.
Size
A cheetah can be up to 150 centimetres (cm) long and 90cm high.
Their tails measure up to 80cm and they weigh, on average, 40 kilograms.
Location
Cheetahs are found in areas with tall grass and shrubs, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and northern Iran.
