Three greylag geese in tight formation above the Ismaninger Speichersee, east basin.
The Ismaninger Speichersee is a reservoir in the north of Munich, built in 1929 to regulate the water flow for the run-of-the-river power plants along the Isar Canal.
The reservoir and the adjacent fish ponds are a nature reserve (Europareservat) and an Important Bird Area (IBA).

"Double Arch takes its name because it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion."

Snowy Egret
From Cornell:
Highly social all year long, Snowy Egrets forage with gulls, terns, ibises, and other herons, and they nest in colonies alongside many other species, including Great Egrets, night-herons, Glossy Ibises, Little Blue Herons, Tricolored Herons, Cattle Egrets, and Roseate Spoonbills.

Bicycles
Although I don’t ride a bike, well not at least for 40 odd years, there is something satisfying about a bike. It’s solid, reliable (mainly), an art form, it has a place in our society, an environmental champion, a pleasure and a serious competitor.
There aren’t many things in life that fulfil those criteria, there will always be those detractors but for me the bike is a hero.

Female Albino Sulphur - my insect book says the females can be greenish white and males are yellow; this one was white when the wings were open with beautiful color on the edges. Females sometimes exhibit a white form known as 'Alba'.

Circulando por la A-384, carretera que une las localidades de Arcos de la Frontera y Antequera, y dentro de este municipio se puede divisar unas enormes llanuras, en concreto la depresión de Antequera, ú Hoya o Vega de Antequera.
Está situada entre las cordilleras Subbéticas, al norte, y la cordillera Penibética, al sur, siendo una de las depresiones que se alinean formando el Surco Intrabético. Hacia el este se comunica a través de un estrecho pasillo con la Vega de Granada. Por el oeste, la Serranía de Ronda la separa de la Depresión de Ronda.
La llanura se compone de campos ondulados salpicados de cerros y colinas, y dispone de agua en abundancia, ya que la lluvia, incapaz de formar corrientes en este terreno sin desniveles, se acumula en su mismo centro, originando lagunas como las lagunas de Campillos, la Ratosa o Fuente de Piedra, en la que cada año crían millares de flamencos.
Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
This beautiful rhododendron flower wasn’t formed to a fascinating sculpture by the rain. These are dewdrops collected on the petals during the night. Together with this soft and diffuse morning light its producing a impressive look, in my opinion.
Diese wunderschöne Rhododendron Blüte wurde nicht etwa vom Regen zu einer faszinierenden Skulpur umgewandelt. Dies sind Taudropfen, der sich über Nacht auf den Blättern gesammelt haben. Zusammen mit dem weichen und diffusen Morgenlicht ergibt das eine beeindruckenden Anblick, finde ich.

GOLDEN BRUSHTAIL possums, adorable and rare, are an unusual form of the common brushtail possum that get their fluffy golden coats from a genetic mutation that results in low levels of melanin in their skin and fur; this is the same pigment that gives human skin and hair its colour and makes you look tanned.
Unfortunately for these little guys, their colour is more of a bane in the wild because it makes them conspicuous to predators. It’s hard to hide among the leaves when you’ve got bright golden fur! Because of this, the golden brushtail possum is a rare sight in the wild, being found mostly in small pockets around Tasmania where they have fewer wild predators.
Have a lovely weekend
Icebergs form when chunks of ice calve, or break off, from glaciers, ice shelves, or a larger iceberg. Icebergs travel with ocean currents, sometimes smashing up against the shore or getting caught in shallow waters ( credit NSIDC). We sailed into Paradise Bay it was very dark with mist. Then there was a break in the clouds over the mountain slope. This photo was taken in the mid afternoon. The seas were still but visibility was poor. The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica, located at the base of the Southern Hemisphere. Antarctica is a continent, bigger than Europe, North America or Australia,
Dark Series
These are a favourite of mine. Cityscapes looking very dark and dreary. End of times.
I need a trip to Aberfoyle tomorrow early before it gets to hot.
Happy Slider Sunday
Sui monti che circondano la conca d'Alpago è scesa la prima neve. E' una neve tardoautunnale; sono veli leggeri ed effimeri che avranno beve durata. Eppure essi rivestono la montagna di fascino e ne alleggeriscono l'immagine cupa e massiccia. Grazie ai primi veli di vene, infatti, la montagna rivela tutta se stessa, tutte le sue asperità, le sue forme, i suoi anfratti. Come una signora che offre d'improvviso tutta la sua bellezza ..... ..
