These chairs were perfectly placed to enjoy the wonderful sunset that was starting to develop. I took a photo at roughly the same location last November: www.flickr.com/photos/123895834@N08/22856676063/in/album-...

A beautiful Sunday to those who share my faith, and to those who do not!
Photographed at a World War II reenactment several years ago, I'm not sure what this bag was intended to hold. The vehicle was marked as an ambulance, so maybe it held medical supplies.

Black fronted dotterels also known as black fronted plovers, Elseyornis melanops, taken in the Kimberley, Western Australia.
They typically feed in freshwater wetlands.
This pair were not at all afraid of people which made them wonderful photographic subjects.

a white fronted bee eater (merops albicollis).
this kind of bee eater con be found in south africa all the year around.it's a lovely bird and in some areas quite common.
in photography the hardest part is in this case to get the details of the white front.the whites are very easy to be "fired" especially in canon.take care on exposure!

My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Cords, Ropes or Hoses".
Shot with a Nikon "LS-3510AF 50 mm F 3.5" (scanner) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
To get this shot, I set my camera on a tripod the next rock over and set the timer for 20 seconds (as long as my camera allows). I then set it to take 9 photos, giving me more time to get in place. Once I released the shutter, I moved as quickly and CAREFULLY as I could to get in place. The first three photos were taken without me since I had not arrived to the spot yet. #4 showed me in the process of sitting down, and then I had a few more where I could just sit and relax. The white bird droppings on the rock give authenticity! This is my last photo I'll be posting from my morning at Valley of Fire State Park. I had an awesome time, and I really hope I make it back some day for more exploring and photography.

no plow up the street yet, so not going anywhere soon
I managed to nab a cherished front seat on the DLR. The windscreen wiper arms across the right of the shot were unavoidable. Approaching Tower Gateway Station as another one had just departed and a C2C train on the mainline to the right had just left Fenchurch Street.

I love everything about Jeffrey. One of the cutest things is, when he puts a paw on my shoulder to get my attention.

This crimson fronted parakeet was pretty far in the distance but I was excited to capture it in its environment.

04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
I spotted a pair of Black-fronted Dotterels along the Victoria University stretch of the Old Main Drain.
