Das war mir einen Repost wert.
Vielen Dank an die Jury ich fühle mich sehr geehrt.
A small tit resident to the Himalayas in India and Nepal and one of the half dozen tits in that area. We had a few sightings of this bird, though its common, but like other small birds - it had to time its presence around the larger birds - especially the Magpies and Treepies both of which were very aggressive.
We sighted it only one day - on our last day I think foraging on tree trunks around the hide. Only for a few minutes did it come to this open branch. These are resident birds and easily confused with the Indian Yellow Tit which also looks very similar, but of a different geographical range. The bird forages on small insects and grain found in the area.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback - much appreciated.
My super wide angle telephoto lens captures not only earth scenes but spacial sky images also. How can that be? Don't know - I just take the pictures.

Mono Lake, looking west from Paoha Island toward the Sierra crest late afternoon as a storm was developing. I had a 2 mile open water paddle back to shore and got caught in some high winds which was pretty exciting.

Roughly 300km up the West Coast from Cape Town, Lamberts Bay is a small and not exactly attractive fishing town, but a draw for tourists nonetheless. We found it the perfect spot - quiet, isolated, nothing happening - for a quiet break and some R&R at the end of my last contract in SA, before we returned to Canada.
Taken over a ten-year period, between 2012 and 2022, this series of photographs is from a project on South African country villages and towns. Many of the images are of small Karoo towns, and many of these in turn are of the Dutch Reformed Churches whose steeples are visible for miles around in the vast, semi-desert region that lies, metaphorically and geographically, at South Africa’s centre.
There is something about these Karoo towns, in particular, that has always spoken to me - the stillness of the empty streets in the heat of the day, the white, shuttered cottages, the big skies overhead. And always, at the edge of town, or sprawling out into the arid land, the coloured settlement or African location. In South Africa, as elsewhere, as Faulkner wrote, ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’

El nacedero del río Urederra, con sus espectaculares aguas de color turquesa, es uno de los enclaves naturales más espectaculares de Navarra. Se halla en el Parque Natural de Urbasa, bajo el llamado Balcón de Pilatos, un anfiteatro rocoso impresionante, al que subimos posteriormente. La ruta entre la poblada vegetación es muy amena y transcurre por sendas acondicionadas que permiten disfrutar de una caída de agua de 600 metros en épocas de lluvia. Con el paso del tiempo, esta caída de agua acabó modelando ese anfiteatro rocoso. En la ruta se suceden más cascadas y pozas de color turquesa, difíciles de encontrar en otro río peninsular. Al final del recorrido hay un puente que atraviesa a la otra orilla para apreciar el nacimiento del río Urederra.

The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" was written by Gertrude Stein as part of the 1913 poem "Sacred Emily", which appeared in the 1922 book Geography and Plays.
In that poem, the first "Rose" is the name of a person. Stein later used variations on the sentence in other writings, and the shortened form "A rose is a rose is a rose" is among her most famous quotations, often interpreted as meaning "things are what they are", a statement of the law of identity, "A is A."
Stein once remarked, "Now listen! I'm no fool. I know that in daily life we don't go around saying 'is a ... is a ... is a ...' Yes, I'm no fool; but I think that in that line the rose is red for the first time in English poetry for a hundred years." (Four in America). (Source: Wikipedia).

UNA ROSA ES UNA ROSA ES UNA ROSA... (2024)
La frase "Rosa es una rosa es una rosa es una rosa" fue escrita por Gertrude Stein como parte del poema de 1913 "Sacred Emily", que apareció en el libro de 1922 Geography and Plays.
En ese poema, la primera "Rosa" es el nombre de una persona. Stein utilizó posteriormente variaciones de la frase en otros escritos, y la forma abreviada "Una rosa es una rosa es una rosa" es una de sus citas más famosas, a menudo interpretada como que significa "las cosas son lo que son", una declaración de la ley de identidad, "A es A".
Stein comentó una vez: "¡Escuche! No soy tonta. Sé que en la vida diaria no andamos por ahí diciendo 'es una... es una... es una...' Sí, no soy tonta; pero creo que en ese verso la rosa es roja por primera vez en la poesía inglesa en cien años". (Cuatro en América). (Fuente: Wikipedia).

A portion of this statue-menhir was found at the top of this field in 1980 and the original can be seen in Saint-Affrique's 'Maison de la Mémoire'. The library has many key books and papers on the subject and its collection of pastoral objects in its display area is of general interest.
The city of Albi is internationally known, as is the 'Pont de Millau' by Norman Foster architects. As you leave Albi, heading east, the road hits statue-menhir country in probably 35 minutes. The statue-menhir area stops just before Millau and once you have this line in mind, it is a whole geography of rolling hills both to the north and even more to the south. The Statue menhirs of this zone are known as the 'rouergat' which is a category big enough to further split into the subgroubs of Dourdou, Rance, Monts de Lacaune, Agout et Tauriac. Other distinct areas of statue menhirs are not so far away in the Hérault and Gard and Vaucluse regions.
