Lake Bashkara was formed in the 1930s and 1940s due to the melting of the Bashkara glacier. In surveys of 1932-1933, the lake was not yet recorded, and in the late 1950s it already existed. The depth of the reservoir is 32 m. The height of Lake Bashkara above sea level is 2750 m.
Lake Bashkara is known for repeated cases of breakthrough. In 2017, heavy heavy rain triggered the overflow of Lake Bashkara. A block of ice broke off from a neighboring glacier and collapsed directly into the lake. About 1 million cubic meters of water escaped from the lake and, destroying everything in its path, swept along the bed of the Adylsu River. In the valley of the Adylsu River, 350-500 thousand cubic meters were involved in mudflows. m of solid material. 3 people died.
In the late 1980s. at the edge of the Bashkar glacier, a group of new breakthrough-hazardous lakes formed, which later merged into a single lake Lapa.
Озеро Башкара образовалось в 1930-1940-х годах вследствие таяния ледника Башкара. В исследованиях 1932-1933 г. озеро еще не зафиксировано, а в конце 1950-х оно уже существовало. Глубина водоёма — 32 м. Высота озера Башкара над уровнем моря составляет 2750 м.
Озеро Башкара известно неоднократными случаями прорыва. В 2017 году сильный проливной дождь спровоцировал переполнение озера Башкара. С соседнего ледника откололась глыба льда и рухнула прямо в озеро. Около 1 млн. кубометров воды вырвались из озера и, разрушая все на своем пути, пронеслись по руслу реки Адылсу. В долине реки Адылсу в селевой паводок было вовлечено 350–500 тыс. куб. м твердого материала. Погибли 3 человека.
В конце 1980-х гг. у края ледника Башкара образовалась группа новых прорывоопасных озёр, впоследствии соединившихся в единое озеро Лапа.

I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.
The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,
I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.
This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.

A pastel from my art 'chapter' archive. Making this little image was sheer joy. With no planning at all, everything about it flowed out spontaneously, with ease and grace, and I was pleasantly surprised at the result.

When it was time to setup for an evening shot, the sun was teasing me with light. Although present and to my left, it was timidly hiding behind a low cloud. It seemed to mock me with its faint glow, provoking a shot, then just as quickly hiding, as if playing some game.
However, I knew the chance for side lighting would come because the clouds had vacated the horizon. I composed the shot with the use of tiny puddles in the mud. They appear disproportionate to the scene with the lens inches away. But lead the viewer in. Then for a moment the canceled becomes the revealed, and the side lighting changes the scene, helping shapes take form.
A week on and the frog embryos are developing into tadpole form (can be seen clearer if enlarged). Fascinating & wonderful to observe.
"To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

A view of W. Main Street as seen from above Capitol Ave. in the heart of the Mount Sterling Commercial Historic District. The district includes four entire city blocks and parts of four others. Nearly all of the buildings in the district are Italianate commercial buildings; the only exceptions are a Classical Revival bank building (a portion of which is seen in the lower left) and the courthouse (shown previously), which incorporates both Italianate and Classical Revival elements. The district was added to the NRHP in 1987.
Mount Sterling is the seat of Brown County. The city had a population of 2,006 at the 2020 census.

New plantlets form at the end of the flower spikes; after flowering, the spikes fall over and a new plant grows, so the plant "walks".

La più elevata forma di rispetto verso se stessi è ripiegare in se stessi, trovare il coraggio di affrontare le proprie caratteristiche.... scoprire la propria vera essenza, e avvedersi che il cammino personale è ben diverso da quello che la massa ha già tracciato e che vorrebbe inalterato per non veder minare il proprio equilibrio, eventualità più che concreta se tutti o una gran moltitudine affrontassero tale ripiegamento. Tutto ciò indipendentemente dal desiderio di distinguersi dalla massa che piuttosto ne è una naturale conseguenza. Verrà da sé......
A heap is an elementary form / as is a second heap. // The building seen on the right / is a non-elementary form / as you all wil understand.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Little Pied Cormorant
Scientific Name: Microcarbo melanoleucos
Description: The Little Pied Cormorant is one of the most common of Australia's waterbirds, occurring on water bodies of almost any size. It is entirely black above and white below. The face is dusky and, in adult birds, the white of the underside extends to above the eye. Immature birds resemble the adults except there is no white above the eye.
Similar species: The Little Pied Cormorant resembles the Pied Cormorant,Phalacrocorax varius, but is easily distinguished by its smaller size and proportionately shorter bill The Pied Cormorant also has an orange-yellow face patch and black thighs.
Distribution: The Little Pied Cormorant is found throughout Australia.
Habitat: The Little Pied Cormorant is at home in either fresh or salt water. It is often seen in large flocks on open waterways and on the coast, especially where large numbers of fish are present. On inland streams and dams, however, it is often solitary. The Little Pied Cormorant mixes readily with the similar sized Little Black Cormorant, P. sulcirostris.
Feeding: Little Pied Cormorants feed on a wide variety of aquatic animals, from insects to fish. On inland streams and dams they turn to their most favoured food: yabbies (freshwater crayfish). These are caught by deep underwater dives with both feet kicking outward in unison. Other crustaceans are also taken, with shrimps being a large part of their diet in winter months.
Breeding: Little Pied Cormorants breed either in colonies or, less commonly, in single pairs. The nest is a flat platform of sticks, lined with green leaves and is usually placed in a tree. Both adults share in egg incubation and care of the young.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 66cm
Average size: 58cm
Clutch Size: 3 to 4

A wider take on this scene moments before sunset.
Having completed turning this welded rail train on the yard lead via CPF 197 and 196 this CSXT/Pan Am Rigby yard crew is headed back to the yard with the train as they catch the last glow of evening sun. It will be doubled to the rear of M426 and head to Waterville the next morning ultimately destined for the track project going on between Northern Maine Junction and Mattawamkeag as CSXT rebuilds the old Maine Central mainline they purchased last year.
The crew has a nice merger pair of geeps in the form of MEC 514 and CSXT 2548, the former of which is a GP40-2W blt. Apr. 1976 as CN 9655 and the latter a GP38-2 blt. Nov. 1973 as SCL 548 and delivered in black and yellow. They are on Main 1 of 1500 ft long double track bridge over the Fore River with the warehouses of Merrill's Marine Terminal (owned by New England based Sprague Energy since 2005), an important railroad customer, visible at center behind the train.

There are two sea stacks that together form Drangarnir. These impressive natural formations have become a symbol of the Faroe Islands’ unspoiled landscapes and untamed wilderness. To me, they conjure visions of a dragon's back, rising up from the icy waters swirling along its base. It is a haven for birdlife and a bucket list item for photographer's fortunate enough to find themselves in this Viking wonderland.
For me, it was an experience of a lifetime and the fulfillment of a bucket list dream that all began with a tiny image I saw on Instagram of a grass roofed cottage. What an incredible privilege to photograph the immense Drangarnir sea stacks (the smaller one rises out of the ocean to a height of over 200 '), probably one of the most iconic formations of the Faroe Islands.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the more harrowing places to get to. If I wasn’t grey already, that day would have done it in spades. Thank God for great travel partners, and our gifted leader, Thomas Vikre, who guided us through the gauntlet of eel-slippery rocks, steep slopes ending abruptly into the North Atlantic, and high tides bouncing our Zodiac around like a ping pong ball. Honestly, I would have turned back each time if given a choice. I have no desire to “prove” myself, or conquer fears at this point in my life, but it was a one way street, so no way to turn back. And in the end, I am glad for that. The beauty and majesty of the place is really indescribable, and to stand in the midst of it was truly an “epic” 😉 experience for us all.
