Otis Falls is almost not mentioned anywhere, which I find to be quite surprising. What is shown in this photo is only a fraction of the full height of the falls. I was pleasantly surprised with the beauty and shear natural force of these falls.
"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions -- the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimal of pleasurable and genial feeling." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
🇫🇷 Les trois fractions ladinophones se trouvent au sud-ouest de la commune
le Tyrol autrichien est germanophone, tandis que le Tyrol italien présente une situation linguistique plus complexe : au Sud-Tyrol, la moitié de la population se déclare germanophone, un tiers est italophone et il y a une minorité (4 %) ladinophone.
Cette langue est reconnue dans le Haut-Adige, ou Tyrol du Sud, concurremment à l'allemand et à l'italien ,dans le Val de Fassa au Nord du Trentin, le Nord de la Vénétie, autour de la station de sports d'hiver réputée de Cortina d'Ampezzo
🇩🇪 Die drei ladinischsprachigen Fraktionen befinden sich im Südwesten der Gemeinde.
Das österreichische Tirol ist deutschsprachig, während das italienische Tirol eine komplexere Sprachsituation aufweist: In Südtirol bezeichnet sich die Hälfte der Bevölkerung als deutschsprachig, ein Drittel als italienischsprachig und es gibt eine Minderheit (4 %), die ladinischsprachig ist.
Diese Sprache wird in Südtirol neben Deutsch und Italienisch anerkannt, im Fassatal im nördlichen Trentino, im nördlichen Venetien und rund um den bekannten Wintersportort Cortina d'Ampezzo.
🇮🇹 Le tre frazioni di lingua ladina si trovano nella parte sud-occidentale del comune
Il Tirolo austriaco è di lingua tedesca, mentre il Tirolo italiano presenta una situazione linguistica più complessa: in Alto Adige, metà della popolazione si dichiara di lingua tedesca, un terzo di lingua italiana e una minoranza (4%) di lingua ladina.
Questa lingua è riconosciuta in Alto Adige, insieme al tedesco e all'italiano, in Val di Fassa, nel Trentino settentrionale, nel Veneto settentrionale, intorno alla famosa località di sport invernali di Cortina d'Ampezzo.
🇬🇧The three Ladin-speaking fractions are located in the south-west of the municipality
The Austrian Tyrol is German-speaking, while the Italian Tyrol presents a more complex linguistic situation: in South Tyrol, half of the population declares itself to be German-speaking, a third is Italian-speaking and there is a minority (4%) of Ladin speakers.
This language is recognised in Alto Adige, or South Tyrol, together with German and Italian, in the Val di Fassa in northern Trentino, northern Veneto, around the famous winter sports resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo
L’église romane du XIIème siècle, a été reconstruite en grande partie aux XIX et XX ème siècles, sur les restes d’une abbatiale ruinée. L’édifice est particulièrement remarquable par l’élévation de la nef et l’intégration des techniques gothiques dans un style roman. C’est une église fortifiée, protégée par une enceinte de remparts. Elle est classée monument historique depuis 1965.

In everyday life there are fractions of time where Eyes stare and mind is full or thoughts. Time goes by and moments Flow in the torrent of thoughts.
“There is a creative fraction of a second
when you are taking a picture.
Your eye must see a composition or an expression
that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition
when to click the camera.
That is the moment the photographer is creative.
Oop! The Moment!
Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”
– Henri Cartier-Bresson
The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Adult sea otters typically weigh between 14 and 45 kg (30 and 100 lb), making them the heaviest members of the weasel family, but among the smallest marine mammals.
Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom. Although it can walk on land, the sea otter is capable of living exclusively in the ocean.
The sea otter inhabits nearshore environments, where it dives to the sea floor to forage. It preys mostly on marine invertebrates such as sea urchins, various mollusks and crustaceans, and some species of fish. Its foraging and eating habits are noteworthy in several respects.
Its use of rocks to dislodge prey and to open shells makes it one of the few mammal species to use tools. In most of its range, it is a keystone species, controlling sea urchin populations which would otherwise inflict extensive damage to kelp forest ecosystems. Its diet includes prey species that are also valued by humans as food, leading to conflicts between sea otters and fisheries.
Sea otters, whose numbers were once estimated at 150,000–300,000, were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911, and the world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals living in a fraction of their historic range.
A subsequent international ban on hunting, sea otter conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding, and the species occupies about two-thirds of its former range.
The recovery of the sea otter is considered an important success in marine conservation, although populations in the Aleutian Islands, in California, and in Russia have recently declined or have plateaued at depressed levels. The population in Japan likewise remains small and precarious. For these reasons, the sea otter remains classified as an endangered species.

This is just a fraction of the number of King Penguins that were at this location. There are really no words to describe the feeling of being among thousands of penguins that show absolutely no fear of people. It was quite a humbling experience. Now I say that I should have taken more pictures but sometimes you just have look and take it all in. We were told that there were more than 250,000 penguins at some locations. This is the summer season in the Southern Ocean and they come here only to nest, then return north to warmer waters during the winter. Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia with a beautiful glacier in the background. Zoom in for more detail. Another photo is in the comment box.

While only a fraction of the originals remain, the ones that do remain are a remarkable sight to behold to anyone with a fascination of railroad signaling. The former AT&SF semaphores that litter the BNSF Raton and Glorieta Subs in New Mexico are impressive to say the least. While it is a shame that the line only sees 2 Amtrak trains a day, you have to make the most of what is given. Flying along at 79 mph, the #3 Southwest Chief splits the blades at the ESS Wagon Mound on their way to their next stop in Las Vegas, NM.
This picture shows some of the abandoned mining equipment strewn about town and a few of the remaining structures in Bodie, California. Bodie, located north of Mono Lake, was a gold-mining town that once had a population of ~10,000. The small fraction of the ghost town that survives, is now a California State Historic Park preserved in a state of "arrested decay". Reportedly, it is essentially the way it was left when the gold boom went bust. Today, except for the occasional ghosts and several park rangers who live on site the town is deserted.

I've done five years of 365s. That's 1825 straight days of self portraiture. During that time I've seen the interaction on flickr dwindle and diminish to a mere fraction of what it once was.
Regardless of the causes, what was once a vibrant social media cannot even be called social media any longer. And at the end of 2015, I ponder whether I want to do this 365 thing again. Or even photograph much at all.
Goodbye 2015.

These two photos were taken a fraction of a second apart. It seems like the lightning started off as two separate strikes, and then merged - to find a better path between sky and ground, I assume.
The two photos were taken with my iPhone 5 using the app iLightningCam. These ones were taken from indoors on the top floor of my building, with a little tripod set up in a hallway window, so the photos were take through glass (I got crowded out of my unobstructed doorway spot by some rooftop partiers who didn't seem to be worried about getting hit by lightning). I then did some editing on each photo to improve contrast and to try to remove some artifacts from the dirty windows. The fact that one photo is more purple than the other is not something I did - the colors just came out different from one moment to the next, I suppose because of the changing light.
I actually got a couple photos of other strikes from the same storm showing a similar pattern to the first photo - that is, two strikes, one hitting the Sears Tower and one hitting off to the right in about that same spot. I even got another couple pairs of photos close together that show the bolts changing - but none of the others merged together like this.
How big of a fraction of a second apart were the photos, you ask? Well, based on the EXIF data, the photos are only about 5-10ms apart, but each photo has 50ms exposure time, and so its hard to say exactly when the brightest part of the strikes that shows up in the photos was captured. But, we can say they were between 5 milliseconds and 110 milliseconds apart.
He was convinced I was trying to steal his soul. I had to convince him I was only borrowing it for a fraction of a second (1/800th of a second to be exact) to preserve it for posterity, thus giving him a type of immortality. He finally agreed, albeit with some trepidation.

These lead sheets weigh 0,82 KG. According to Einstein's formula (energy is equivalent to mass times the speed of light squared) this lump of lead which fits in the palm of my hand contains the energy released by combustion of approximately 2,15 billion liters of petrol. Inversely, the combustion of petrol uses up only a minuscule fraction of the energy total stored in it. Edited in Luminar.
This image was made a fraction of a second before a similar image posted a few days ago. A parent's legs (not sure which parent) tower over the chick.
In the earlier post, the chick's wings are raised higher, and the adult's legs are a bit straighter. Things change in a fraction of a second.
Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 5/2023.
The photo shows a fraction of a dry lakes system that has been referred to collectively as The Johnston Lakes. These lakes in southwest Western Australia are remnants of ancient drainage systems (Palaeochannels). About 160 million years ago, the Gondwanan super-continent was covered in rainforest. Giant rivers the equivalent of today’s Amazon ran west into the Indian Ocean and east into the Southern Ocean. Large flows of water incised channels into the bedrock and left broad valleys across the landscape. Aridity started to increase 21 million years ago, a drying trend that still continues today. As the surrounding land eroded away, the drainage channels filled with sediments, resulting in the saline playas that we see today. The Great Western Woodlands is now a dry place most of the time. There are no permanent streams or rivers, and even the extensive salt lakes are nearly always dry, and only centimetres deep when ‘full’. Chains of salt lakes now indicate where these broad river valleys once ran across the landscape. The photo is a drone panorama.

Et bien parce que la couleur d'un iceberg dépend de son âge. Les icebergs sont constitués de glace pure, et ils subissent de fortes compressions tout au long de leur développement. Les compressions ont pour effet de chasser progressivement les bulles d'air piégées dans la glace, et de lisser les surfaces réfléchissantes.
Les icebergs issus de jeunes glaciers n'ont pas subis beaucoup de compressions et contiennent donc beaucoup de bulles d'air et de surfaces réfléchissantes, ils réfléchissent donc une grande partie de la lumière blanche et paraissent... blancs !
Par contre, plus l'iceberg est ancien, plus il aura subi de compression. Ceci a pour effet de chasser les bulles d'air et d'éroder les surfaces réfléchissantes. La lumière blanche qui pénètre l’iceberg est donc en grande partie absorbée. Les grandes longueurs d’ondes, comme le jaune et le rouge, sont absorbées en premier alors que les courtes comme le bleu persistent plus longtemps. A 30 m de profondeur, dans la glace, seul le bleu n’est pas totalement absorbé. De plus, en rebondissant sur les molécules de glace, les ondes subissent un important phénomène de diffusion ce qui amplifie les fréquences du bleu. La fraction de lumière qui ressort, privée de ses radiations rouges, donne sa couleur bleue à l’iceberg.
Well, because the color of an iceberg depends on its age. Icebergs consist of pure ice, and they undergo strong compressions throughout their development. The compressions have the effect of gradually chasing the air bubbles trapped in the ice, and smoothing the reflective surfaces.
Icebergs from young glaciers have not undergone many compressions and therefore contain a lot of air bubbles and reflective surfaces, so they reflect a lot of the white light and look ... white!
On the other hand, the older the iceberg, the more compression it will have undergone. This has the effect of driving out air bubbles and eroding the reflective surfaces. The white light that penetrates the iceberg is therefore largely absorbed. Long wavelengths, such as yellow and red, are absorbed first while short ones like blue persist longer. At 30 m depth, in ice, only blue is not fully absorbed. Moreover, by bouncing on the ice molecules, the waves undergo an important diffusion phenomenon which amplifies the frequencies of the blue. The fraction of light that emerges, deprived of its red radiations, gives its blue color to the iceberg.

Casal Borsetti è una frazione del comune di Ravenna, situata sul litorale 15 km a Nord della città.
È il lido romagnolo più settentrionale, oltre il quale c'è il fiume Reno.
La località è tagliata in due dal Canale di Bonifica in destra del Reno, visibile nell'immagine tra i due moli.

Piedipaterno, frazione del comune di Vallo di Nera, nella Valnerina, è addossato alla base della rocca sulla quale si trova il castello di Paterno. Circondato dai boschi della Valnerina, conta circa 100 abitanti. Sono salita per le stradine pedonali del paese e ridiscesa alla base. Spero che questa mia passeggiata fotografica vi piaccia.
Piedipaterno, a fraction of the municipality of Vallo di Nera, in the Valnerina, is leaning against the base of the fortress on which the castle of Paterno is located. Surrounded by the woods of the Valnerina, it has about 100 inhabitants. I went up the pedestrian streets of the town and went back down to the base. I hope you enjoy this photographic walk.

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is a natural history museum on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. Located in Theodore Roosevelt Park, across the street from Central Park, the museum complex comprises 21 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls, in addition to a planetarium and a library. The museum collections contain about 32 million specimens of plants, animals, fungi, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, and human cultural artifacts, as well as specialized collections for frozen tissue and genomic and astrophysical data, of which only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time. The museum occupies more than 2,500,000 sq ft (232,258 m2). AMNH has a full-time scientific staff of 225, sponsors over 120 special field expeditions each year, and averages about five million visits annually.
As you can tell I have taken a few bird shots recently. This is one of the best of the lot. The kind of capture that I have wanted for a long time.
A small fraction of the Snow Geese encountered at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge on the day after Christmas.
December 26th is the latest we've encountered large numbers of Snow Geese at the refuge. In past years we've seen peak numbers on Dec. 4th and Dec. 14th. None of the refuge waters were frozen and the weather has been mild, giving the geese plenty of time to rest and refuel before completing their migration further south.
this was on my car and was speeding around, only a fraction of an inch... I have seen these around, so I research to learn a bit more about them and I find that they have a huge number of varieties.
you must admit, it is very cute...
then I find this :)

A typometer is a ruler which is usually divided in typographic points or ciceros on one of its sides and in centimeters or millimeters on the other, which was traditionally used in the graphic arts to inspect the measures of typographic materials. The most developed typometers could also measure the type size of a particular typeface, the leading of a text, the width of paragraph rules and other features of a printed text. This way, designers could study and reproduce the layout of a document.
One of the domains where the typometer was most widely used was the editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, where it was used along with other tools such as tracing paper and linen testers to define the layout of the pages of the publications, until the 1980s.
Typometers were initially made of wood or metal (in later times, of transparent plastic or acetate), and were produced in diverse shapes and sizes. Some of them presented several scales that were used to measure the properties of the text. Each scale corresponded with a type size or with a leading unit, if line blocks were divided by blank spaces. However, typometers could not be used to measure certain computer-generated type sizes, that could be set in fractions of points.
Due to the technological advancements in desktop publishing, that allow for a greater precision when setting the type size of texts, typometers have disappeared from most graphic design related professions. It keeps being used, even today, by traditional printers who still employ type metal. Source Wikipedia.
Keele Hall is a 19th-century mansion house and is a Grade II listed building. The manor of Keele was held by the Sneyd family continuously from 1544 to 1948. A large gabled Tudor style house was built on the hill in 1580. In 1651 Colonel Ralph Sneyd fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War and was killed.
A outing with The Staffordshire Fungus Group. I had never visited Keele University before and the grounds are lovely. We only covered a small fraction of the grounds and found a lot of species of fungus many of which I have never seen before.
