It was gently snowing yesterday when we did our full-day Christmas Bird Count in the Snake's Head/Sundre area, north west of the city. I was wearing bright red, fleece mitts when we got out of the car occasionally to call in at someone's homestead. I thought this tiny snowflake was SO gorgeous, looking (to me) rather like a diamond ear-stud. If only I could have brought it home with me (LOL) so that I could try to photograph it properly with my macro lens and table-top tripod! The light snow today had no beautiful flakes, just tiny specks of white : (. Lyn (and Howard), if you happen to see this sometime, it's to say "Thank you" for the all-day ride yesterday. You, too, Dorothy (and Stephen), for getting me to and from the Count meeting place! Rebecca, you might like this one, too? : )
Oh, and by the way, I'm not interested in real diamonds (not "me" at all!) - only the kind that fall from heaven : )
Taken near the Amsterdam Arena Soccer stadium. Because the shape of this eyecatching facade is too narrow and in addition obstructed by a viaduct, I took pictures of several parts and created this remixed visual out of it. In the very heart, you can see a tiny self-portrait as a bonus.
Spoiler - the 'official' title is : Thrupp Cathedrale by Gavin McClafferty. But surely it could have an eyecatching name to match its appearance?!
This shelter definitely catches your eye, even on a grey rainy day. The artist was inspired by the "dazzle patterns" of the first world war which inverted the idea of camouflage. He used a mixture of donated paints, found wood and site hoarding.
Almost there........one more to find.

A captivating, eye-level portrait of a Pale Chanting Goshawk, Melierax canorus, perched on a branch, its beak wide open in a call. The bird's distinctive gray plumage and bright orange-red legs are in sharp focus, framed by the blurred branches of a tree in the foreground. The image captures a dynamic moment of a raptor in its natural habitat in Etosha.
Has your city got one of those? Everyone now seems to be running them as a 'unique' tourist attraction (but also useful local transport)...

Gesneriaceae est une autre famille de plantes, pour laquelle la Colombie est aussi le pays le plus riche en biodiversité d'espèces, beaucoup d'entre elles étant intéressantes et attractives, bien que passant souvent inapercues. Ici Columnea cf. rosea in situ en forêt super humide du Pacifique dans la Colombie mégadiversifiée.

Spent a day in Bruges, Flanders, Belgium yesterday. Got my best shots at night as it was quite cloudy during the day. This is my take on THE spot in Bruges: the eyecatching view on the Belfry tower as seen from the Rozenhoedkaai.
Bruges (Dutch: Brugge, French: Bruges, German: Brügge) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country.
The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval-shaped and about 430 hectares in size. The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (meaning "Brugge aan Zee" or "Bruges on Sea"). The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km² and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North". Bruges has a significant economic importance thanks to its port. At one time, it was the "chief commercial city" of the world.

Detail from the artwork Blickfång, Eye-catcher by Linda Perssonat the pedestrian tunnel at the commuter station in Handen. Part of a project called Ljuskonst på otrygga platser. This sculpture consists of two eyes. One that is closed and one that is open. There are several light fixtures like this one at a couple of dark and "unsafe" places around Haninge. Curated by Anna Ahlstrand. I will of course go back late one evening to see it glowing in the dark.

Another from Thursday's visit to Canary Wharf to photograph the Winter Lights Festival. More to come.
Originally commissioned for the 2020 Light Festival, the eyecatching red installation on the Cubitt bridge is called 'The Clew'. It was created by Ottotto, a portuguese architectural firm and it's one of several Festival installations which have become part of the permanent collection of Public Art at Canary Wharf.

From the Canarywharf.com website, "Commissioned for the Canary Wharf Winter Lights festival 2020. The Clew is made from 100 circles of red light, is a beautiful structure created by Ottotto, a portuguese architectural firm.
This minimal and elegant construction creates stunning reflections of sunset on the water and frames the bridge, making you see this familiar landmark in a brand new way."
