Exactly 3 years ago today, on an extended photo tour at home, I passed the railway line between Koblenz and Trier, where the sun was just fighting through the fog.
Heute vor genau 3 Jahren, auf einer ausgedehnten Fototour in der Heimat, kam ich an der Bahnlinie zwischen Koblenz und Trier vorbei, wo sich gerade die Sonne durch den Nebel kämpfte.
The beginning of the Eiger trail Alpine tranquility , swiss summer time . The Fallbodensee and the walls of the Jungfrau Mountain. The Schilthorn is covered with clouds. No, 7708.

"Short, medium-level hike through some of Switzerland's most iconic scenery.
Hike through the glorious high alpine pasture and lakeland scenery of the Grindelwald, pass a wonderful waterfall and come within touching distance of the Eiger's iconic north wall.
Easy public transport to both trailheads from Grindelwald make this stunning walk an easy excursion; hardier walkers have many options to extend."
The Gepatschferner is the second largest glacier in Austria. After a very nice hike, we stood at the foot of this glacier, which extends to an altitude of around 3,500m. In a short moment, the sun managed to displace the fog a little.
he Southern Alps is a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand's South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the range's western side. The name "Southern Alps" generally refers to the entire range, although separate names are given to many of the smaller ranges that form part of it.
I used the fish-eye mode on my PowerShot for this Tiger Lily in my garden.

Rot ist eine der Primärfarben. Manche weisen ihr Aggressivität als Merkmal zu, Das muss nicht immer stimmen. In die Farbfülle einer natürlichen Umgebung eingebettet entfaltet Rot eine durchaus angenehme Wirkung,
The favorite color of most people is blue. But red also has a lot to offer in his gradients.
Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
One of the beautiful pieces of art work you’ll find below Grand Central at the new Long Island rail Road extension.
Whale breaching - Southern Right Whales are about 15m/50ft in length, so only about half of it is visible here.
The patterns of white barnacles and sea-lice are unique to each whale and is thought to aid visual identification amongst the whales.
Its eye is clearly visible - they are able to focus both below and above the surface. The reason for breaching is not entirely clear; it could be part of their mating behaviour, or possibly a way of removing skin infestations - or maybe it's just fun!
Pictured here off the coast of Hermanus in South Africa. The whales can be easily seen from the cliff-tops.
We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present. Marianne Williamson

I apologize for the long absence. Turns out, flickr is inaccessible in China. Who knew?
Grey Heron - Ardea Cinerea
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
The birds breed colonially in spring in "heronries", usually building their nests high in trees. A clutch of usually three to five bluish-green eggs is laid. Both birds incubate the eggs for a period of about 25 days, and then both feed the chicks, which fledge when seven or eight weeks old. Many juveniles do not survive their first winter, but if they do, they can expect to live for about five years.
In Ancient Egypt, the deity Bennu was depicted as a heron in New Kingdom artwork. In Ancient Rome, the heron was a bird of divination. Roast heron was once a specially-prized dish; when George Neville became Archbishop of York in 1465, four hundred herons were served to the guests.
The grey heron has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, and spoonbills, which extend their necks.
Fish, amphibians, small mammals and insects are taken in shallow water with the heron's long bill. It has also been observed catching and killing juvenile birds such as ducklings, and occasionally takes birds up to the size of a water rail. It may stand motionless in the shallows, or on a rock or sandbank beside the water, waiting for prey to come within striking distance. Alternatively, it moves slowly and stealthily through the water with its body less upright than when at rest and its neck curved in an "S". It is able to straighten its neck and strike with its bill very fast.
Small fish are swallowed head first, and larger prey and eels are carried to the shore where they are subdued by being beaten on the ground or stabbed by the bill. They are then swallowed, or have hunks of flesh torn off. For prey such as small mammals and birds or ducklings, the prey is held by the neck and either drowned, suffocated, or killed by having its neck snapped with the heron's beak, before being swallowed whole. The bird regurgitates pellets of indigestible material such as fur, bones and the chitinous remains of insects. The main periods of hunting are around dawn and dusk, but it is also active at other times of day. At night it roosts in trees or on cliffs, where it tends to be gregarious.

The town of Czarnków is located on the Noteć river, on the edge of the Noteć Forest and the edge of the moraine plateau. The location of the city creates picturesque landscapes, which extend from the moraine donations above the city. On one of the hills, a viewpoint of the city and the Noteć river valley was created.

Siproeta stelenes (malachite) is a Neotropical brush-footed butterfly (family Nymphalidae). The malachite has large wings that are black and brilliant green or yellow-green on the upperside and light brown and olive green on the underside. It is named for the mineral malachite, which is similar in color to the bright green on the butterfly's wings. Typically, the wingspread is between 8.5 and 10 cm (3.3 and 3.9 in). The malachite is found throughout Central and northern South America, where it is one of the most common butterfly species. Its distribution extends as far north as southern Texas and the tip of Florida, to Cuba as subspecies S. s. insularis (Holland, 1916), and S. s. biplagiata, and south to Brazil.
