Sculpture trail on the sea dike in De Haan (Belgium)
This work by Chinese artist Xu Zhen (徐震) is based on the bronze statue of Artemision. This statue from 460 BC was found in a Roman shipwreck on the seabed near the Cape of Artemision, off the coast of Greece. Xu Zhen copied the ancient sculpture and placed several Peking ducks, a Chinese specialty, on the arms of the statue. Peking duck became popular in the 14th century when it was considered the favourite dish of the Chinese imperial court. Since then, it has been a national symbol representing Chinese culture at diplomatic dinners.
Xu Zhen combines two elements from Western and Eastern culture in his sculpture. He acknowledges that in real life there is some reluctance in the exchanges between China and Europe, perhaps caused by cultural prejudices and the fact that each party interprets history in its own way. Xu Zhen reflects on the development of a culture and civilization based on mythology and argues that historical interpretations are not as decisive as is often assumed.
This work is part of “The Eternity Series,” a collection of sculptures that mix Eastern and Western historical artifacts.

They’re back living in the river birches! Today is a windy, cloudy & chilly day for my first of the season handheld shot, but I was happy with the detail. I have some “in nature” shots in mind for the next 4 weeks.

Although there's a little bit of color left, this is definitely the end of autumn. And seeing as it was November 1st, it really should have ended long before this! Hope you enjoy the different colors in this photo: blues, greens, browns...still a bit of color to make it enjoyable!

Red headed cardinal beetle.
Looking for a cardinal, presumably.....
Quite rare in the countryside, normally found in cathedral cities, particularly abundant in Canterbury and Rome.
Thanks to Julie for finding this fellow for me :^)
I finally got to visit another @FrankGehry location. And yes, I'm already planning a trip back.
2 hours and 10 minutes to photograph @WaltDisneyConcertHall and @TheBroadMuseum is not nearly enough. Never mind the other options nearby.
So. Many. Reflections. Options. Angles. Curves. It boggles the mind and is so much fun to find compositions here.

Plötzlich und unerwartet hat sich unser Weihnachtskaktus ein buntes Blütenkleid zugelegt. (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlumbergera)
Suddenly and unexpected, our Christmas Cactus has acquired a colourful dress of blossoms.

DE AARDBEI OF TUINAARDBEI (Fragaria × ananassa) is een veelgeteelde kruising tussen twee Amerikaanse aardbeisoorten, en vooral bekend om zijn eetbare vruchten. De ouders van de kruising zijn de van de Noord-Amerikaanse oostkust afkomstige soort Fragaria virginiana en de van westkust van beide Amerika's afkomstige soort Fragaria chiloensis. Van deze hybride zijn vele honderden rassen in cultuur. Botanisch gezien is het fruit van de aardbei een schijnvrucht. De echte vruchten zijn nootjes, en herkenbaar als pitjes op het oppervlak van de schijnvrucht.

This is a wildflower but even with Google's help I have yet to find out what type? They are very, very tiny - a bit bigger than a pea. This is cropped and greater than 1:1 magnification.
Update: Thanks to Maryse Tremblay they have been identified as Anaphalis margaritacea ... from the sunflower family apparently. The common name is 'Pearly Everlasting' which is a poetic name if ever there was one.

DE ASPERGE (Asparagus officinalis subsp. officinalis) is een plant die in het wild vooral voorkomt in kuststreken en langs rivieren. De plant wordt vanwege de jonge scheuten geteeld als groente. Er zijn witte, groene en paarse asperges op de markt. De witte zijn onder de grond gegroeid en uit het licht gehouden, de groene en paarse asperges hebben wel zon gezien. In Noordwest-Europa zijn witte het meest gebruikelijk, in landen als Italië groene.
Het woord asperge is via het Latijn (asparagus) ontleend aan het Griekse ἀσπάραγος (asparagos) of ἀσφάραγος (aspharagos), een woord van onzekere herkomst.

It's been a while since I posted one of my safari Leopards that I love so much (the Leopards, not my photos). I though the BnW might be appropriate here as this was a night sighting with the light coming from our guide's torch.
It's funny how you can suddenly feel very small when sitting in the back of an open-top jeep without sides in the pitch blackness of a South African night in the middle of the bush with no signs of humanity for many many kilometres. Then your guide shines a torch on a leopard mid-prowl, and she roars into the night. Whether in warning or anger or for help I don't know. Then the calls & cackles of hyenas come answering back, in number. You feel very alive, and vulnerable. And thrilled to be taking the scene in with all your senses, sight, smell, sound and the "feel" of the moment. Wondrous memories of a wondrous time for me.
Have a great weekend out there everyone and watch out for those leopards & hyenas.
When heavy brush and vines obscure your view of a scene, it's sometimes better to just focus on the obstruction...
This is the Columbia River Gorge, as photographed from the Oregon side. For those of you that don't know, the Columbia River divides Washington state from Oregon. It's quite a large river, and although I kinda prefer pictures from the Oregon side, you can't go wrong with either side!
This particular photo was taken near Corbett, Oregon, which is just east of the greater Portland area. There's really only one place to pull out along Interstate 84 (west-bound), so if you're looking to capture a great sunset, that is your only hope! ha! Hope you enjoy!
