I go different ways on my long walks to and from work, and noticed this display the other day. On my way home I purposely went this way again to capture this image through the window.
Sus fecas son muy ácidas y los árboles en que anida suelen secarse razón por la que en algunos países son declarados plagas y su erradicación por cualquier forma es permitida. Una pena.

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.
In the time of pandemic, everything goes back to the basic. People care about food, shelter, hygiene and the relationship with family. You are not able to have face to face contact with your families and friends. You may make use of the online social media now.
In photography we also go back to the basics i.e. the design elements, the composition, the light and the appreciation of forms.
Have a great weekend!

A new image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope reveals a remarkable cosmic sight: at least 17 concentric dust rings emanating from a pair of stars. Located just over 5000 light-years from Earth, the duo is collectively known as Wolf-Rayet 140. Each ring was created when the two stars came close together and their stellar winds (streams of gas they blow into space) met, compressing the gas and forming dust. The stars’ orbits bring them together about once every eight years; like the rings of a tree’s trunk, the dust loops mark the passage of time.
In addition to Webb’s overall sensitivity, its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is uniquely qualified to study the dust rings. These rings are also called shells by astronomers because they are thicker and wider than they appear in the image. Webb’s science instruments detect infrared light, a range of wavelengths invisible to the human eye.
Contributed under both ESA and NASA leadership, Webb’s MIRI instrument detects the longest infrared wavelengths. This means that it can often see cooler objects – including the dust rings – than Webb’s other instruments can. MIRI’s spectrometer also revealed the composition of the dust, formed mostly from material ejected by a type of star known as a Wolf-Rayet star. A Wolf-Rayet star is born with at least 25 times more mass than our Sun and is nearing the end of its life, when it will likely explode as a supernova and then collapse into a black hole. Burning hotter than in its youth, a Wolf-Rayet star generates powerful winds that push huge amounts of gas into space. The Wolf-Rayet star in this particular pair may have shed more than half its original mass via this process.
Transforming gas into dust is somewhat like turning flour into bread. It requires specific conditions and ingredients. Hydrogen, the most common element found in stars, can’t form dust on its own. But because Wolf-Rayet stars shed so much mass, they also eject more complex elements typically found deep in a star’s interior, including carbon. The heavy elements in the wind cool as they travel into space and are then compressed where the winds from both stars meet, like when two hands knead dough.
Some other Wolf-Rayet systems form dust, but none is known to make rings like Wolf-Rayet 140 does. The unique ring pattern forms because the orbit of the Wolf-Rayet star in WR 140 is elongated, not circular. Only when the stars come close together – about the same distance between Earth and the Sun – and their winds collide is the gas under sufficient pressure to form dust. With circular orbits, Wolf-Rayet binaries can produce dust continuously.
The science team thinks WR 140’s winds also swept the surrounding area clear of residual material they might otherwise collide with, which may be why the rings remain so pristine rather than smeared or dispersed. There are likely even more rings that have become so faint and dispersed, not even Webb can see them in the data.
Wolf-Rayet stars may seem exotic compared to our Sun, but they may have played a role in star and planet formation. When a Wolf-Rayet star clears an area, the swept-up material can pile up at the outskirts and become dense enough for new stars to form. There is some evidence the Sun formed in such a scenario.
Using data from MIRI’s Medium Resolution Spectroscopy mode, the new study provides the best evidence yet that Wolf-Rayet stars produce carbon-rich dust molecules. What’s more, the preservation of the dust shells indicates that this dust can survive in the hostile environment between stars, going on to supply material for future stars and planets. The catch is that while astronomers estimate that there should be at least a few thousand Wolf-Rayet stars in our galaxy, only about 600 have been found to date.
These results have been published today in Nature Astronomy.
MIRI was contributed by ESA and NASA, with the instrument designed and built by a consortium of nationally funded European Institutes (the MIRI European Consortium) in partnership with JPL and the University of Arizona.
[Image Description: The background of this Webb image of star Wolf-Rayet 140 is black. A pair of bright stars dominates the centre of the image, with at least 17 pink-orange concentric dust rings emanating from them. Throughout the scene are a range of distant galaxies, the majority of which are very tiny and red, appearing as splotches.]

"The Canadian National Railways was formed in 1923 to rescue several financially troubled rail lines. At the time of the merger new motive power was badly needed and the CNR's first order for new locomotives was given to the Canadian Locomotive Company to build sixteen "Mountain" type locomotives.
This batch of sixteen 4-8-2s were delivered in 1923 and was designated as Class U-1-a and assigned road numbers 6000 through 6015. These locomotives had 26 x 30 cylinders, 73" drivers, a 210 psi boiler pressure and exerted 49,588 lbs of tractive effort. They weighed 354,110 lbs and were used on express passenger trains between Montreal and Toronto.
Twenty-one more "Mountains" were delivered from the Canadian Locomotive Company during 1924 and 1925. These locomotives were designated as Class U-1-b and given road numbers 6016 through 6036. They were similar to the Class U-1-a "Mountains" and were added to the passenger motive power roster.
Five more 4-8-2s (Class U-1-d, road numbers 6042 through 6046) from the Canadian Locomotive Company and twelve more 4-8-2s (Class U-1-e, road numbers 6047 through 6058) from the Montreal Locomotive Works were delivered in 1929 and 1930. These last two groups had minor improvements but were essentially the same as the sixteen delivered in 1923.
A final batch of twenty “Mountains” was delivered by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1944. This group was designated as Class U-1-f and assigned road numbers 6060 through 6079. These very heavy (416,500 lbs) locomotives were semi-streamlined and intended to be used primarily for fast passenger service. Some were also used in a dual freight and passenger capacity. They were capable of reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
The U-1-f class locomotives had a distinguishing conical nose that housed the headlight and the number lamps. The stack was flared after the British style. They were normally painted in CNR's passenger colours of black with green board skirts, cab and tender. Some of them were eventually converted to burn oil.
There are five surviving CNR "Mountains":
"6015 at station yard in Jasper, AB
6043 at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, MB
6060 at the Rocky Mountain Railway Society in Calgary, AB
6069 at Bayview Park in Sarnia, ON
6077 at Prescott Park in Capreol, ON "

Buxton set BX494 formed of a pair of Derby built Class 108 power cars stabled on the centre roads at the station on 1 August 1987 a further 108 power car and a Rail Blue centre coach stand to the rear along with one of the two Independent Snowploughs that always seemed to be resident here. Having looked at the photo again I did notice the lack of a windscreen wiper on the 108 so I'm guessing it wasn't a runner.

Des icebergs aux formes incroyables dérivent sur le lac Jökulsárlón. Seuls 10 % sont visibles au-dessus du niveau de l'eau. Les icebergs de Jökulsárlón fondent rapidement à cause de l'entrée d'eau de mer chaude dans le lac. Leur instabilité peut être due à une fonte sous-marine irrégulière, qui les fait parfois se briser ou rouler brusquement, formant de grosses vagues. Ils sont un mélange de glace, de sable, de gravier, de téphra et de bulles d'air. Cette composition est clairement visible dans les icebergs qui se détachent du front du glacier. La couleur bleue de la glace dense est due au fait qu'elle absorbe toutes les couleurs du spectre sauf le bleu, qui est réfléchi. Ainsi, la glace transparente paraît bleue. Cette teinte bleue s'atténue lorsqu'elle fond au soleil. Sous le niveau de l'eau, la glace fond sans contact avec l'air. C'est pourquoi la couleur bleue est si frappante après le basculement d'un iceberg, laissant la partie de la glace immergée exposée.
Icebergs of incredible shapes drift on Jökulsárlón lake. Only 10% is visible above the water level. The icebergs in Jökulsárlón melt rapidly because warm seawater enters the lake. They can become unstable due to non-uniform underwater melting, which sometimes causes them to break or roll suddelnly, forming big waves. Glacial ice is a mixture of ice, sand, gravel, tephra end air bubbles. The composition is clearly seen in the icebergs that break off the glacier snout. The blue color of the dense ice is due to the fact that it absorbs all colors of the spectrum except blue, which is reflected. Therefore, clear ice seems blue. The blue hue is diminished when is melted by the sun. Beneath the water level, ice melts wihout contact with the air. This is why the blue color is so striking after an iceberg has tipped over, so the part of the ice that wa underwater becomes exposed.
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the Pyrenees Mountains in southwest Europe. The mountain range forms a natural border between France and Spain with the small, landlocked country of Andorra sandwiched in between.
Stretching from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea on the east to the Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Ocean) on the west, this international mountain range is 430 km long. The area pictured in this image, captured on 30 January 2022, spans around 120 km from the village of Escallare in the east to Panticosa to the west.
Located in the Spanish province of Huesca in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park lies Pico de Aneto, the highest mountain peak in the Pyrenees. It rises to an elevation of 3404 m and is also the third-highest mountain in Spain. Click on the circle in the image to take a closer look at Pico de Aneto.
Geological studies have revealed that the Pyrenees Mountains have been around for longer than the Alps, with their sediments first deposited in coastal basins during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. The entire mountain range formed due to the upwelling of large sedimentary rocks by the collision of the Iberian and the Eurasian plate around 100 to 150 million years ago, followed by intense erosion from ice and water.
Snow covers many of the peaks year-round, especially those in the centre-section of the chain. The western Pyrenees typically receive greater precipitation than the eastern Pyrenees owing to moisture blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. The mountain range is also home to several small glaciers, as well as many mountain lakes and some of the highest waterfalls in Europe including Gavarnie Falls which, at 422 m, is France’s highest waterfall.
Few people live at the Pyrenees’ highest elevations; however, Andorra is nestled among peaks near the eastern end of the chain (not visible in the image). With an area of around 468 sq km, Andorra is the sixth smallest country in Europe.
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission is designed to play a key role in mapping differences in land cover to understand the landscape, map how it is used and monitor changes over time. As well as providing detailed information about Earth’s vegetation, it can also systematically map different classes of cover such as forest, grassland, water surfaces and artificial cover like roads and buildings.
This image is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.

Tall trees form a light forest canopy at Pinery Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
Pinery Provincial Park was initially reforested with red and white pine trees giving the park its name. However, the area is not naturally a pine forest; the natural ecology is a very rare oak savanna. Only later was the true value of the natural ecology recognized, and the health of the oak savanna is now promoted.
