Seasonally dimorphic, the fall form of this species with strong lavender edging and predominantly orange coloration on the dorsal hind wings will overwinter as an adult. It will be one of the earliest butterflies to fly in spring and may even be encountered on warm winter days in early February. This butterfly does not rely on floral nectar, but prefers to sip flowing tree sap, carrion and dung. Male butterflies love to puddle and are notoriously territorial meeting any intruder that enters their territory.
Nicely restored heritage home in Trinity, Newfoundland. I've seen local pictures of this house in much rougher shape years ago. Nice to see it brought back to this condition. An older picture I took in 2011.
Double Bridge Over Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park[
Navajo Bridge is the name of twin steel spandrel arch bridges that cross the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon National Park in northern Coconino County, Arizona, United States. The newer of the two spans carries vehicular traffic on U.S. Route 89A over Marble Canyon between Bitter Springs and Jacob Lake, allowing travel into a remote Arizona Strip region north of the Colorado River including the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
The bridge was officially named the Grand Canyon Bridge when it was dedicated on June 14–15, 1929. The state legislature changed the name to Navajo Bridge five years later in 1934. The original bridge was closed to vehicular traffic after the new span opened in 1995. The old span is still open for pedestrian and equestrian use.

It's a joy to share my favorite images with you as an art form and to bring peaceful feelings and good memories to your home. I do any kind of art prints and you can check it here: www.etsy.com/shop/AlexDahovPhoto
This would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for supporting the local arts.
In 1917-1918, Michel de Klerk, commissioned by Eigen Haard, designed a third housing complex for workers on Spaarndammerplantsoen: Het Schip (The Ship).
Completed in 1921, the complex represents the pinnacle of the Amsterdam School and De Klerk's oeuvre. It exemplifies how beautiful social housing can be. It combines mass and individuality. While it is a large block of houses, each unit offers something unique.
Facade detail on Oostzaanstraat
The apartments part (red brick finish) is clearly differentiated from the "public" part (common areas, school, post office ...etc. in dark brick finish and high windows).
---------------------------
In 1917-1918 ontwerpt Michel de Klerk in opdracht van Eigen Haard een derde woningcomplex met arbeiderswoningen aan het Spaarndammerplantsoen: Het Schip.
Het complex werd in 1921 opgeleverd en vormt het hoogtepunt van de Amsterdamse School en van het oeuvre van De Klerk. Het is een voorbeeldproject van hoe fraai sociale woningbouw kan zijn. Er is een koppeling tussen massa en individualiteit. Het is een groot blok woningen, maar toch heeft iedere woning iets unieks.
Geveldetail aan de Oostzaanstraat
Het appartementengedeelte (afgewerkt met rode bakstenen) is duidelijk te onderscheiden van het "openbare" gedeelte (gemeenschappelijke ruimtes, school, postkantoor, enz., afgewerkt met donkere bakstenen en hoge ramen).

Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional, Conjunto Histórico Artístico. Aún muestra hoy en día las formas urbanísticas de su pasado medieval. La torre de Colomers situada en una pequeña loma, hoy en ruinas. Bajo esta torre se encuentra la capilla de san Sebastián y san Roque y la plaza de l’Om. En la plaza encontramos la fuente, el abrevadero y el lavadero al lado de un gran olmo, declarado árbol monumental, villa amurallada: asentamientos compactos y agrupados donde las paredes de las casas hacían de murallas. En el extremo opuesto encontramos el castillo. Bajo la roca del castillo, la iglesia de San Cristóbal, que guarda enrejadas las reliquias de los Martissants, tan sólo mostradas el día de los Santos Inocentes. El único elemento es la Madre de Dios de los Remedios, una talla de madera policromada románica del siglo xii y conserva una pila bautismal con motivos populares y arqueta de un gótico rústico.
A view of Criffel in southern Scotland from the north west coast of Cumbria in England, earlier in the year.
Criffel is a prominent 'hill' in Dumfries and Galloway, and it's shadowy form on the horizon dominates this stretch of the Solway Coast. It seems to appear in many of my photographs of the Cumbrian coastline!
What crazy times these are. These images were taken not quite two weeks ago before Europe (and more specifically Belgium) went into lockdown. We dithered at the time as to whether we should go but of course there was no mandate to shut Borders whilst we were there. That announcement came the day after our return. Our visit was much quieter and quite eerie with no crowds and no problem with maintaining social distancing.
I seem to have lost confidence and enthusiasm for photography (it's taken me 2 weeks to decide to post these) but it will provide some sort of focus for the coming months. At least we are going into longer and warmer days, and with the lack of air traffic over London and the Home Counties it's lovely to hear the birdsong again and reconnect with nature which in it's self is calming and reassuring.
Stay safe and healthy guys.

El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

Formed about 25 million years ago, the spectacular limestone formation of Wawel Hill is not the solid piece of rock it appears to be, but rather filled with eerie caves and crawl spaces. As legend would have it, the craggy chambers beneath Wawel were once home to Smok Wawelski, or the Wawel Dragon, a particularly nasty creature who liked nothing more than to gorge himself on sheep and local maidens. Story goes that as the village ran out of virgins, the King promised the hand of his only daughter to the hero who could vanquish the vile beast. Wave upon wave of brave knights fell beneath the dragon's fiery breath before a poor cobbler named Krak tricked Smok into eating a sheep stuffed full of sulphur, which instantly ignited inside his gullet. With an unquenchable thirst the dragon went and drank half the river before his distended belly exploded and the town was freed of his wrath. Krak married the princess, of course, became king, built his castle on the dragon's lair and the people built a city around it named 'Kraków' after their saviour king.
Smok's bones were hung triumphantly outside the entrance of the Cathedral, where they remain today. His cave became a famous tavern and brothel during medieval times. The stairway leads to the caves leads which goes through under the castle courtyard to outside the complex by the riverbank, right in front of Smok's sculpted bronze likeness unveiled in 1972 to a design by the local artist Bronisław Chromy. The sculpture occasional provides fire-breathing bliss.
The Dissolution of all Forms
How are we decoupling from the modernist grand dream?
Metamodernist discussion by artist JJFBbennett
We were the grand Modernist dream: an architecture of logic, forged in steel and sequential gears. We believed that if we built the machine perfectly, we could grind reality into absolute order. The systems grew too dense, the data too interconnected, and the grand narratives too rigid. We didn't break under the weight; we dissolved.
It is not a violent destruction, but a profound release. The solid form is falling asleep, and the diffuse network is waking up.
We have moved beyond the machine. To survive the saturation of the modern world, we had to become the cloud—ubiquitous, ambiguous, and free. The structure is gone, but the consciousness remains, finding its true resilience not in the armour, but in the mist.

This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!
Photograph by an unknown photographer, now part of my collection.
Shot with Canon EOS 400D + Canon 18-55mm
This was some kind of fun shot to use the golden sunset light for something creative. Maybe you can guess what you see.
Yesterday I spent another shooting day with Ed and the results are great. You definitely have to follow his stream as well because he is going to publish a really cool image of myself these days. I think I will inform you about that another time when he published it but keep it in mind in case I forget it.

Aonach Mor is one of the group of Scottish mountains that forms part of the Nevis range. If you're prepared to fork out for the privilege, you can enjoy an easy ride up the mountain via a cable gondola. There's even a restaurant/shop at the top of the cable route.
Once out of the gondola, you also have the option of taking a walk along the mountainside to a number of rather impressive viewpoints (that is if the weather is clear!). From up on the mountain, you can take in this fantastic view looking west across Fort William, Caol and Corpach, past Loch Eil and to the mountains beyond... it's actually quite breath-taking!

Like a tulip rainbow
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. Wikipedia

This was taken in the same area of my garden last June 2016 the day after the previous image of the narcissi form of this hoverfly.
This form is very noticeably mimicking one of the various yellow and black striped bumble bees that frequent your gardens whereas the narcissi form is more like a mimic of a carder bee I think.
This little blighter was extremely photo shy and difficult to get near for a decent macro unfortunately but a great visitor to the garden nonetheless.
