Il termime stormo, equivalente a branco per i mammiferi, si riferisce ad un gruppo di uccelli che si riuniscono assieme durante il volo o mentre si nutrono. I benefici che gli uccelli traggono raggruppandosi in stormi sono numerosi. In certi casi gli stormi si formano per specifici propositi.

The 4.5 mm focal length used here is the equivalent of a 25mm moderately wide angle on a 35 mm camera. It gives me focus from foreground to infinity and is my ultimate point and click setting. I think this is a Menil Roe Deer.
Shot from a distance with the OM1 72mm lens, equivalent to 144mm on full frame. It is very sharp, very happy with this lens.
Le Vevey a été commandé en 1905 par la CGN à la compagnie Sulzer frères à Winterthour. Il est mis en service en 1907. C'est un bateau à vapeur jumeau de l’Italie, commandé en 1906 et mis en service en 1908. Sa décoration intérieure est de style néoclassique et Art nouveau (ou Jugendstil). Le salon de 1re classe est décoré de boiseries en châtaignier clair marquetées d’amarante1. Il peut accueillir 750 passagers2.
Spécialement équipé pour le service de nuit, avec un puissant projecteur de proue, on lui ajoute une illumination. Puis le chauffage est amélioré et des vitrages sont installés sur le pont supérieur. Un toit en métal remplace la toile de ce pont en 1929.
Entre 1952 et 1955, le Vevey est transformé. Il est équipé d'un moteur diesel-électrique2. Sa cheminée est raccourcie et son fumoir au pont supérieur a été supprimé. Cependant le salon de 1re classe et son mobilier sont conservés.
Le Vevey est drossé par un fort vent du sud contre la digue de Lutry le 16 juillet 1969. C'est l’Italie qui le sort de ce mauvais pas.
Une panne électrique immobilise le bateau en 1974. Puis il subit une réfection des ponts et superstructures et reçoit une commande électro-hydro-électrique du gouvernail en 1975. Une nouvelle cheminée, construite selon les plans d'origine, remplace l'ancienne en 1987. En 1989 c'est au tour du salon de 1re classe d'être refait.
Le bateau cesse provisoirement de naviguer le 1er octobre 20103.
En 2011, il est classé monument historique par le canton de Vaud4.
Il est rénové à partir de la mi-2012. Le bateau est en grande partie démonté pour remettre en état la structure et les moteurs diesel-électrique de 1955 sont remplacés. La partie électrique et électronique (GPS, aides à la navigation, wi-fi, écrans vidéos…) est modernisée, l'équivalent en câblage d'un Airbus A320 y est ainsi installé. Enfin, l'intérieur et les décors sont restaurés. Le bateau rénové a repris du service le 18 novembre 20135,6,7,8.
Le Vevey est le bateau de la CGN qui a le plus navigué, ayant parcouru environ 3 000 000 km.

LA NOBILE GIOVANE RIBELLE
Riuscirà (?) ad ascoltare la disperazione legata alla ragione….
Riconoscere (?) le illusioni che la circondano, e che le rendono
difficile l’abbandonarsi al tempo….
Saprà difendere la nuova appartenenza?
I segni dell’esistenza e non i gesti dell’illusione?
Nell’essere riuscita a riagganciare il rituale, sente di aver
ri-conquistato qualcosa…

On ne peut que se souvenir des couleurs du Landmannalaugar.
Pour mémoire ou ceux qui viennent pour la 1° fois dans cet album....
La lave s'est, ici comme dans bien des endroits en Islande, mise en place sous la calotte glaciaire et a permis la formation de tufs rhyolitiques Ces tufs de couleurs très diverses dues au fer - ce qui fait la beauté de ces sites - sont peu résistants à l'érosion et présentent des formes arrondies et ravinées, traversées ou non par des filons d'obsidienne...
Les laves de Landmannalaugar sont acides
....
La rhyolite (ou rhyolithe) est une roche volcanique de couleur assez claire, rosée ou grise et parfois bleue. C'est une roche à structure microlitique présentant des minéraux visibles à l'œil nu : quartz, feldspaths et biotite La rhyolite est l'équivalent volcanique du granite. Il existe des variétés entièrement vitreuses : obsidienne, pechstein, perlite, pyroméride.
Les rhyolites se trouvent :
• en dômes ;en coulées courtes et épaisses (laves visqueuses) ;en blocs ;
• parfois en masses puissantes, dans les arcs insulaires.
Actuellement, les éruptions de laves rhyolitiques sont rares, en dehors de quelques régions comme l’Islande.
Des gisements sont présents en Harz, en Saxe, dans les Vosges ou dans l'Esterel.

DESCRIPTION:
On 16 February , at about 17:00, there was a short but violent eruption of volcano Etna. The eruption begun with an explosion followed by a massive lava fountains rising from the South-Est crater, one of the summit craters. This phase lasted just under two hours, then quickly the phenomenon decreased in intensity and after few hours the volcano went back to sleep. The picture shows the South Est crater at a time when the paroxysmal phase is over, but the lava keeps to coming out from the cracks of the crater created by the explosion . The incandescent fumes that partially cover the crater , come from the Central crater and from the other summit craters.

By 1929, Packard controlled half the world's prestige car trade.
His cars were associated with Hollywood and the American High Society and was the equivalent of the English Rolls Royce.
By 1953 the variety of models had become far too great for the Packard factory to operate profitably.
Therefor Packed merged with Studebaker in 1954 to compete with the "Detroits Big Three".
In 1955 the new models of this merger were introduced, but because the technicians did not had time enough to solve the technical problems of the cars, the reliability of the car brand fell drastically and sales plummeted.
This was the rerason that the once famous car brand disappeared.
Today this model of 1929 is a highly sought- after collector's item and the highest resale value is $ 115.500,00
His engine was a naturally aspirated petrol engine which was virtually vibration- free.
The car was equiped with a 3- speed gearbox and had a cylinder capacity of 5.2 liters and was equiped with 8 cylinders, each with two valves.
Despite this large displacement, the engine only had an output of 90 HP/ 67 Kw!
Anyway, it is a real thrill to be able to see such an old vehicle in its full glory........
The Steller's Jays are back! About two weeks ago I heard a familar call that I hear about this time of the year every year. The Stellar Jays have moved down from the higher elevations where they hang out during the summer months. We have three that have been visiting our feeders and I find myself putting out peanuts for them.
The Stellar Jays range from Alaska to central America and are the equivalent to their eastern cousin the Blue Jay.
The Steller's Jay is British Columbias provincial bird.
The Iberian equivalent of the Starling. Taken on our recent visit to Spain.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
El Castillo at Chichen Itza
Kukulkan was the Mayan equivalent of the Great Feathered Serpent ( Quetzacoatl in Aztec)
At one of the mayan Equinoxes as the sun rose a serpent's shadow seemed to make it's way down the pyranid stairs.
"chichen Itza" meant "the mouth of the Wizard's well". and was a great magical ceremonial and sacrifial center. Sacrifices were mainly male though maidens were also thrown into the well.
A very poetic, but dark and fascinating culture based on sacred ritual.
The New York State Capitol, the seat of New York State government, is located in Albany, the capital city of the U.S. state of New York. The capitol building is part of the Empire State Plaza complex on State Street in Capitol Park. The building is a marvel of late 19th-century architectural grandeur, built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 25 years.Housing the New York State Legislature, the building was completed in 1899 at a cost of US$25 million (equivalent to $711 million in 2015), making it the most expensive government building of its time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, then included as a contributing property when the Lafayette Park Historic District was listed in 1978. The New York State Capitol was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1979

Oporto es la segunda ciudad más poblada de Portugal, después de Lisboa.
Tenía 297 559 habitantes en el año 2011. Su densidad de población es de 5560 habitantes/km2. Contornan el núcleo central de la ciudad de Oporto la subregión de Gran Oporto y, de manera más amplia, el Área Metropolitana de Oporto, que forma su área metropolitana de 2.959.045 habitantes. Se encuentra en el norte del país, en la ribera derecha del Duero en su desembocadura en el océano Atlántico. Es sede del distrito homónimo, en la Región Norte de Portugal.
El municipio de Oporto tiene 15 freguesias (equivalentes a parroquias o barrios). Limita al norte con Matosinhos y Maia, al este con Gondomar, al sur con el río Duero y Vila Nova de Gaia, y al oeste con el océano Atlántico.
Como muchas ciudades europeas, Oporto es una ciudad antigua que cuenta con un amplio patrimonio histórico, aunque durante las últimas décadas ha sido sometida a una amplia modernización. Cuenta con el metro más largo de Portugal, que cubre no solo el centro, sino también zonas de su área metropolitana como Senhora da Hora o Maia. Asimismo, el Aeropuerto Internacional Sá Carneiro ha sido recientemente ampliado para permitir una capacidad de 16 millones de pasajeros anuales.
Desde muy antiguo hay una rivalidad entre Lisboa y Oporto. Dicen que esta ciudad tiene un cierto aire británico, desde que se asentaron allí comerciantes de vino ingleses. Un refrán popular reza: «Lisboa se divierte, Coímbra estudia, Braga reza y Oporto trabaja».
Su centro histórico fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1996. Otros atractivos turístico-culturales son la torre de los Clérigos, realizada por Nicolau Nasoni, la Casa da Música y la Fundación Serralves, dedicada al arte contemporáneo, y que es el museo más visitado de Portugal. En el margen sur del río Duero se encuentran las famosas bodegas de vinos, aunque este sector ya no pertenece al término municipal de Oporto sino a Vila Nova de Gaia. Dista de la frontera española con Galicia unos 140 km, que pueden recorrerse por autopista.
Tanto el país como el vino de Oporto deben sus nombres a la ciudad, que a su vez significa «el puerto». Por su pujanza cultural, demográfica e industrial es considerada como la «Capital del Norte» de Portugal.
En 2014 y 2017 fue elegida como el mejor destino turístico por la Agencia Europea de Destinos Turísticos y forma parte de la Ruta Portuguesa del Camino de Santiago. También es sede de uno de los mejores equipos de fútbol de Portugal: el FC Porto.

Porto or Oporto is the second-largest city in Portugal and one of the Iberian Peninsula's major urban areas. Porto city proper, which is the entire municipality of Porto, is small compared to its metropolitan area, with an estimated population of just 215,945 people in a municipality with only 41.42 km2. Porto's metropolitan area has around 1.7 million people (2019) in an area of 2,395 km2 (925 sq mi), making it the second-largest urban area in Portugal. It is recognized as a global city with a Gamma + rating from the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.
Located along the Douro River estuary in northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, as "Historic Centre of Porto, Luiz I Bridge and Monastery of Serra do Pilar". The historic area is also a National Monument of Portugal. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the name Portugal, based on transliteration and oral evolution from Latin. In Portuguese, the name of the city includes a definite article: o Porto ("the port" or "the harbor"), which is where its English name "Oporto" comes from.
Port wine, one of Portugal's most famous exports, is named after Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, transport, and export of fortified wine. In 2014 and 2017, Porto was elected The Best European Destination by the Best European Destinations Agency. Porto is on the Portuguese Way path of the Camino de Santiago. Porto is also the home of one of the country's most successful football clubs, FC Porto.

DISCLAIMER: This Snowy Owl was photographed from a safe distance, using a 600mm prime lens, on a cropped sensor, which is a 900mm focal length equivalent. The image was also cropped in post editing. No Dunes were harmed during the making of this picture.
Snowy Owl
The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large, white owl of the typical owl family. Snowy Owls are native to Arctic regions in North America and Eurasia. Younger Snowy Owls start with darker plumage, which turns lighter as they get older. Males are almost all white, while females have more flecks of gray plumage.

Taken a couple of months ago on a day when the mist was just starting to retreat. The bridge is Southwark Bridge, the building in the distance is 1 Blackfriars Road. The lens I used was a 200mm full frame equivalent which compresses the scene nicely.
I've turned comments off for this image as I'm going to be off Flickr for a day or two and I won't have the time to reply to your kind comments.
“Black-headed Grosbeak parents fly south with worn feathers after breeding season. Their molting locations had been a mystery. The California scientists solved it with relatively inexpensive Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving devices.
They attached the 1-gm electronic devices to a leg of each grosbeak. The devices wake up every 2-6 weeks, record the GPS position and switch off. The GPS device, leg harness and leg bands weigh less than 2 g, or the equivalent of a long-distance runner carrying a laptop in a backpack. Each bird must be recaptured to download the data.” Topbirdingtours.com
One of the presets in the stock camera app of the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is a mirror mode (it exists horizontally and vertically)
This works on all four lenses/modules on the back for still images and for three of them for video
Here from the 35mm equivalent (1.2x) lens/module
With this module the "zoom gap" becomes visible
A 50mm equivalent would have been the better choice
Eines der Presets in der Stock Kamera App des ZTE Axon 30 Ultra ist der Spiegelmodus (den gibt es um die horizontale und vertikale Achse)

Mit dieser Brennweite entsteht eine "Zoomlücke"
Ein 50mm Äquivalent wäre die bessere Wahl gewesen

Since an adult bird is about the equivalent of a nickel in weight they can perch on pretty light material. Here this female perches on a Hosta bud for a second while probing the mature flowers for nectar. In exchange for these tiny birds inserting their long bills and long tongues in the flowers to lap up nectar the flowers get pollinated. They will also feed on tiny insects and small spiders they pluck from the air and spider nests.
At times we may find these little birds perched on an exposed branch but most often we see them hovering with pin-point precision extracting nectar from a tubular flower.
This female is striking a nice pose for me midst a Hosta plant.
The Australian equivalent of our Little Grebe. It differs mainly with its pale eye and in breeding plumage, a blacker head with only a flash of chestnut. It occurs from Java, Lesser Sundas, New Guinea, Solomon Is through Australia to New Zealand where it only became established in the 1970's and is now declining,
The River Esk has been crossed by bridges at this location for centuries. A grant made by King Edward III in 1351 allowed the collection of tolls for the maintenance of a bridge. By the mid 1550s the tolls averaged around £6 per annum (equivalent to £2,421 as of 2021). The current bridge was opened in 1909.
Situada a orillas del río Ganges, Haridwar es una de las ciudades más santas de India; un lugar que no nos podemos perder si queremos sentir en nuestra propia piel la intensa fe y profunda espiritualidad que mueve este país.
Según la leyenda, Haridwar fue uno de los cuatro puntos donde cayeron las cuatro gotas de “amrita”, el néctar de la inmortalidad por el que dioses y demonios combatieron durante doce días y doce noches divinas, equivalentes a doce años humanos.
Por ese motivo, cada tres años estas cuatro ciudades se turnan para celebrar la fiesta religiosa más importante de India: el Kumbha Mela. Cuando a Haridwar le toca, ésta se llena de shadus y personajes de todo tipo llegados desde los lugares más lejanos para bañarse en las aguas del Ganges, que esos días multiplica sus propiedades mágicas y curativas.
Pero el papel de Haridwar como lugar de peregrinación no se limita al Kumbha Mela. Vayamos en la época que vayamos, Haridwar nos recibirá siempre con una explosión de música, colorido y ceremonias religiosas realizadas a orillas de la “Madre Ganga”.
Paralelo a su cauce, un gran mercado se convierte en punto de encuentro de peregrinos, turistas y habitantes de Haridwar. Allí podremos comprar de todo, pero destacan los puestos de mālās y prasad, así como estampitas de diferentes dioses y hombres santos (y no sólo de la religión hindú: los retratos de diversos profetas musulmanes así como del mismísimo Jesucristo son de lo más corriente).

Tuesday Musings...
At Forresters Beach this morning I got to thinking about Tuesdays—today being one. It’s like the hump day between the weekend and the official hump day. Maybe Tuesday is just when we realise that Monday was a warm-up!
I went down a Google rabbit hole reading about Tuesdays. Turns out, there are some pretty cool Tuesday facts, too many to bore you with here but these few caught my eye:
Ruby Tuesday? The birthstone for Tuesday is Ruby—makes you wonder about The Rolling Stones song! 💎🎶
Do you see dead people? Some believe that if you’re born on a Tuesday, you have the power to see spirits. Wonder if Bruce Willis was born on a Tuesday. 👀👻
Research suggests that Tuesday is the least popular day on Facebook. I wonder if that applies to Flickr too? 🤔More investigations coming on that!
Tiw’s Day – Tuesday is named after Tiw, the Norse god of war, equivalent to Mars in Roman mythology. In old English : Tiwesdæg. No wonder it’s said to be a day of action and bold decisions! ⚔️🔥
The OG music drop day before digital streaming took over, music was officially released on Tuesdays. The idea was to give record stores time to unpack new albums before the weekend rush. Now, it’s all about Friday drops. 🎵📀
Anyway… Happy Tuesday, folks! Hope yours is a good one. 🚀😎
Update: I just checked my Flickr stats for Jan/Feb and yes, Tuesdays are the slowest day significantly! Not that you will read this because it's a Tuesday and you won't be here 😏
European hornet (1 inch)
This time let try a portrait of an european hornet in a flower.
Be very careful before to try to approach them
Be sure there is not a nest near
Be sure it is alone
Be sure to not bother it
Dont do it in summer when weather is hot
etc...
But best thing is to not try that it is a bit dangerous and stupid
One sting is equivalent to 7 wasp stings, 10 stings and you're dead
Zoom in please for more details
Frelon Europeen (2.5cm)
Cette fois, voici un portrait d'un frelon europeen dans une fleur.
Soyez très prudent avant d'essayer de les approcher
Assurez-vous qu'il n'y a pas de nid à proximité
Assurez-vous qu'il est seul
Assurez-vous de ne pas le déranger
Ne le faites pas en été quand il fait chaud
etc...
Mais le mieux est de ne pas essayer, c'est un peu dangereux et stupide
Une piqure équivaut à 7 piqures de guepe, 10 piqures et vous etes mort

Fabriquer de l’hydrogène « vert » à partir d’eau de mer, on s'en rapproche !
L'hydrogène serait l'un des outils majeurs pour décarboner les industries lourdes, le transport de marchandises ou l'aviation, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns.
Toutefois, ce carburant n'est pas encore totalement écologique, car la majeure partie de sa production se fait en décomposant du méthane et en brûlant des combustibles fossiles.
L'hydrogène vert a ses mérites, mais son coût est élevé et il comporte ses propres défis et défauts.
Une molécule d'eau est composée d'une molécule d'oxygène et de deux molécules d'hydrogène.
Il est possible de récupérer ces dernières par électrolyse, en émettant peu de gaz à effet de serre, du moins lorsque la chaîne de production est alimentée par des énergies renouvelables.
Cependant, ce procédé a besoin d'eau douce pour fonctionner correctement. Avec 10 litres d'eau nécessaires pour produire un kilogramme d'hydrogène, cela signifie que les (nombreuses) sources d'eau potable seraient rapidement saturées si ce carburant était utilisé à grande échelle.
D'après l'Agence internationale pour les énergies renouvelables, faire fonctionner les camions et les industries principales à l'hydrogène vert pourrait nécessiter l'équivalent de la consommation d'eau d'un pays comme la France !!!
Mais la Terre ne démérite pas de son surnom de planète bleue, puisqu'on trouve de l'eau sur une grande partie de sa surface. Cependant, 97 % de celle-ci est constituée d'eau de mer, et elle ne fait pas bon ménage avec les électrolyseurs.
À son contact, ils convertissent ses ions chlorure en chlore gazeux, mauvais pour l'environnement et suffisamment corrosif pour les faire tomber en panne au bout de quelques heures seulement …
Quoi qu'il en soit, l'hydrogène continue de faire l'objet d'une attention et d'investissements particuliers et semble appelé à faire partie intégrante de notre avenir.
Si la méthode n'est pas encore arrêtée, les idées fusent, et c'est bien là le plus important 🤔

Producing “green” hydrogen from seawater, we are getting closer!
Hydrogen would be one of the major tools to decarbonize heavy industries, freight transport or aviation, to name a few.
However, this fuel is not yet completely environmentally friendly, as most of its production is done by breaking down methane and burning fossil fuels.
Green hydrogen has its merits, but its cost is high and it comes with its own challenges and flaws.
A water molecule is made up of one oxygen molecule and two hydrogen molecules.
It is possible to recover the latter by electrolysis, with low greenhouse gas emissions, at least when the production chain is powered by renewable energies.
However, this process needs fresh water to work properly. With 10 liters of water needed to produce one kilogram of hydrogen, this means that the (many) sources of drinking water would quickly become saturated if this fuel were used on a large scale.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, running trucks and major industries on green hydrogen could require the equivalent of the water consumption of a country like France!!!
But the Earth deserves its nickname of blue planet, since there is water on a large part of its surface. However, 97% of it is made up of seawater, and it does not mix well with electrolyzers.
On contact with it, they convert its chloride ions into gaseous chlorine, bad for the environment and corrosive enough to break them down after a few hours alone...
However, hydrogen continues to receive special attention and investment and seems destined to be an integral part of our future.
If the method is not yet stopped, ideas are flowing, and that's the most important thing 🤔

n 1888 Queen Victoria granted Belfast the status of the city and it was agreed that a grand and magnificent building was required to reflect this new status. City Hall opened its doors on the first of August 1906, at a time of unprecedented prosperity and industrial might for the city.
The new City Hall was designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas in the Baroque Revival style and constructed in Portland stone. The incredible building cost £369,000 to complete, the equivalent around 128 million pounds today but remains an extraordinary beacon of success and civic pride for Belfast.
City Hall has many connections with the famous ocean liner Titanic. Viscount William Pirrie who was Lord Mayor in 1896-1897 just before City Hall’s construction, was also managing director of Harland & Wolff Shipyard. He is the man credited as having the idea for both ambitious builds. He used many of his skilled workmen in the fit-out of City Hall which is why the interiors today are considered an incredible insight into the finish of Titanic’s lounges and suites, the ship’s carving panelling being very similar.
