White-tailed Kites in a courtship exchange where the male holds the prey in his kiting position for her to grab with her talons. It's harder than it looks - she actually misses this try by a feather but he holds steady and she gets another chance. I just couldn't pass up on the light in their eyes on this one.

It's kind of funny thinking back to the time before social media when a whole number (that you may or may not lose) might mean the difference between marriage or never seeing someone again. That's a little extreme but it's funny how we all got in the hang of memorizing and keeping track of these things and, in this modern age, it seems far more likely that the conversation might be "You can follow me on ___" and that information is then attached to much more than a simple number. You might get to see everything about the person's tastes from what they post, which might make conversation easier on those first few dates but also takes out the element of surprise. Then again, you can also see if you'd want to not pursue a person at all based on what you find out. Of course, if this woman called the other human's number, she'd have a date with pizza so that's an added bonus!

P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
Cleo and the owl are often having serious conversations. Sadly they don't allow me to participate. I'm probably not wise enough (yet).....
The Snail Kite has to exchange the snail from his talons to his beak so he can land and eat his prize.
1889-91, addition added in 1985. Preservationist fought to save this structure and the old stairway entrance which is on the other side.
This is a building that I didn't know existed until the other day.
The Corn Exchange, is a Grade II listed Victorian landmark, located in the heart of Doncaster. It was originally constructed in 1870 as a concert hall and marketplace and following a £5 million government-funded restoration, it has been beautifully transformed into a vibrant, multi-purpose venue. The two-year renovation project, completed in late 2024.
I think what this building shows me is that there are some real gems to be found if only we open our eyes. I live just ten miles from Doncaster and always seem to head straight for the rail station without exploring a little further afield.
Palma's Merchants' Exchange (Sa Llotja) is a smaller copy of its equivalent in Valencia; it was built in mid-XV century by the same architect, Guillem Sagrera. And just as the one in Valencia it is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
Купеческая биржа Пальмы (Са-Льотжа) - уменьшённая копия биржи в Валенсии; она была построена в середине XV века тем же самым архитектором, Гийемом Сагрерой. И так же как и валенсийская биржа является шедевром готической архитектуры.
The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

It took 16 photo sessions for a total of 35+ hours to get a few sweet images of these White-tailed Kites making an aerial vole exchange. It was well worth the effort.
Burlington Northern train Nos. 103 and 13 trade crews at Burke, Illinois, on April 7, 1990. Train 103 with GP39M No. 2830 was in the siding at Burke after delays and picking up cars at Eola created some concern that the crew would not make it to the next crew change at La Crosse, Wisconsin. Instead of sending out a new crew to dog catch the train somewhere, a clever solution of exchanging crews was used where No. 103’s crew would trade places with the crew of a higher priority train. In this way, No. 103’s former crew, with fewer hours of service left to them, would step aboard the hotter train and make the crew change point before “going dead on the law.” The hot train’s crew, with more available hours, would slog along with their “new” train, but they too would make the crew change point before going dead. I’m not sure how the crews felt about the situation, but it was a great way to keep the railroad fluid.
A pair of intermodal trains departed Chicago every early afternoon—Nos. 3 and 13—somedays with train 13 shadowing 3 by a block or two. This day was no different as No. 3 pounded past the stopped freight without stopping. The exchange of crews was going to be with No. 13, which came into view only a few minutes later. After making the crew “exchange,” train 13 took off like a bat out of hell with the hours-short crew. Burke siding’s signal blinked from red to yellow to green, and once again No. 103 headed west, albeit not as fast as the trains in front of it. The dispatcher got two hot trains around a slow freight in single-track territory and prevented a crew from dying on the law, all in one well orchestrated move.
Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]
It has twice been destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The present building was designed by William Tite in the 1840s. The site was notably occupied by the Lloyd's insurance market for nearly 150 years. Today the Royal Exchange contains offices, luxury shops and restaurants.......oh and a man talking about his fishing trip.

With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".
