The Common Redshank is 27–29 cm long, has a wingspan of 48–55 cm and weighs around 120 g. It is a somewhat dumpy wader, with long orange-red legs and a straight, medium-length bill with a reddish base. In flight the feet project beyond the tip of the tail. Redshanks breed in damp places like saltmarshes, flood meadows and around lakes. Redshanks hunt for insects, earthworms, molluscs and crustaceans by probing their bills into soil and mud

The scene captures verdant forested hills and scattered patches of farmland. The gentle curve of the river is framed by rocky outcrops and distant peaks. Sunlight casts a warm glow over the landscape, highlighting the natural beauty and geographic contours of the area in the early morning or late afternoon light.

Found my local family of LO's surrounded by a field of horses and being nervous of animals larger than a dog, i retreated to do more work on some older shots.
Found this wonderful 1939 National Geographic photo taken on the New Mexico border by Luis Marden. Note the single taillight on this car. It is difficult to read the brand name on the hubcap of the spare when I look at the photo I downloaded in 1920x1057 size, but it could start with D. So, a Dodge maybe? But the car looks too modest to be a Dodge.

This interesting rock formation was taken in the Cavendish Cliffs area, just off the Terre Rouge Lane, not far from the Green Gables. It was a fine autumnal afteroon. The beauty of the striking red soil cliffs against the deep blue colour of the Southwest Basin water was simply too hard to do justice in photography.
Prince Edward Island is an island province of Canada. While it is the smallest province in terms of land area and population, it is the most densely populated. The island has several nicknames: "Garden of the Gulf", "Birthplace of Confederation" and "Cradle of Confederation". Its capital and largest city is Charlottetown. It is one of the three Maritime provinces and one of the four Atlantic provinces.
The geography of Prince Edward Island is mostly pastoral with red soil, white sand, and scattered communities. Known as the "Garden of the Gulf", the island is located in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence north of Nova Scotia and east of New Brunswick, with which it forms the Northumberland Strait.
The coastline of the island consists of a combination of long beaches, dunes, red sandstone cliffs, saltwater marshes and numerous bays and harbours. The beaches, dunes and sandstone cliffs consist of sedimentary rock and other material with a high iron concentration which oxidizes upon exposure to the air.

The Magnificent Torii Gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine (Kyoto, Japan)
One of the main objectives from my trip to Japan was to capture the row of vermilion torii gates that straddle the paths at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, traditionally worshipped by merchants and manufacturers. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.
Due to the extreme popularity of the site, the only way to avoid the masses and “pull off” the shot was to get there early in the morning, as soon as the shrine opened to the public.

Norwegen / Nordland - Hinnøya
Raftsundet - View to Austvågøya
Raftsund - Blick nach Austvågøya
Hinnøya (Norwegian) or Iinnasuolu (Northern Sami) is the fourth-largest island in Norway, and the largest outside the Svalbard archipelago. The 2,204.7-square-kilometre (851.2 sq mi) lies just off the western coast of Northern Norway. The island sits on the border of Nordland and Troms counties. The western part of the island is in the district of Vesterålen, the southwestern part is in the Lofoten district, the southeastern part is in the Ofoten district, and the northeastern part is in Troms.[3] As of 2017, Hinnøya had a population of 32,688. The only town on the island is the town of Harstad. Some of the larger villages include Borkenes, Lødingen, Sigerfjord, and Sørvik. The island is split between several municipalities: Harstad, Tjeldsund and Kvæfjord in Troms county, as well as Andøy, Hadsel, Lødingen, Sortland, and Vågan in Nordland county.
Etymology
The Old Norse form of the name was just Hinn (the suffix -øya meaning "the island" was added later). The large island is almost divided in two parts by the Gullesfjorden and Øksfjorden, and the old name is probably derived from an old verb with the meaning "cleave", "split", or "cut".
Transportation
Hinnøya is connected to the mainland by the Tjeldsund Bridge across the Tjeldsundet strait. To the west, it is connected to the island of Langøya by the Sortland Bridge, and to the northwest to the island of Andøya by the Andøy Bridge. It is connected to the Lofoten islands by the Lofoten mainland connection which opened on 1 December 2007. That connection is part of the European Route E10 highway. The highway runs near Møysalen National Park. There is also a ferry connection in the southeast between the village of Lødingen and the village of Bognes on the mainland, crossing the Vestfjorden.
Geography
Hinnøya is dissected by several fjords, and two very long ones, Gullesfjorden in the northeast and Øksfjorden in the southwest, almost sever the island in half. There is a five-kilometre-wide (3 mi) isthmus between innermost parts of the two fjords. Tjeldsundet sound divides Hinnøya from the mainland and from Tjeldøya; the narrow Raftsundet strait divides Hinnøya from Austvågøya and between Hinnøya and Andøya goes Risøyrenna strait. The island contains a mostly rugged and mountainous terrain, especially the southern part. There are also valleys and lakes, the largest lake is Storvatnet at 6,67 km2. The treeline lies close to 400 m above sea level, but varies from 250 m to nearly 500 m above sea level.
The best agricultural area is in the northeast, in Harstad and Kvæfjord Municipalities. The southern part is the location of Møysalen National Park, which includes the highest mountain on the island, the 1,262-metre (4,140 ft) tall Møysalen. In the northwestern part of the island, near the village of Forfjord, there is a nature reserve containing a valley with forests and bogs, including the oldest pine trees in Norway, more than 700 years old.
Climate
The climate of the southern coast of the island is warmer and wetter in winter than the northern coast. Harstad, situated on the northern part of Hinnøya, has all-time high 31.7 °C (89 °F) recorded July 2014, and record low −16.1 °C (3 °F) recorded in February 2010.

Raftsundet (Norwegian) or Ráktanuorri (Northern Sami)[1] is a strait in Nordland county, Norway. The 25-kilometre (16 mi) long strait runs between the islands of Hinnøya and Austvågøya, mostly in Hadsel Municipality, but the southern end is in Vågan Municipality. The strait is crossed by the Raftsund Bridge near the northern mouth of the strait. The Trollfjorden is a small fjord that branches off the strait to the west and it is a well-known tourist attraction. The island of Stormolla lies at the southern mouth where the strait joins the Vestfjorden.

Hinnøya ist mit 2.204 km² Fläche die größte Insel[1] vor der Küste Norwegens. Mit Ausnahme der Inselgruppe Spitzbergen ist sie die größte norwegische Insel. Hinnøya ist bewohnt, neben der größten Siedlung Harstad gibt es einige kleinere Dörfer. Sie ist eine der einwohnerreichsten Inseln in Norwegen.
Der Ort Digermulen am Südende der Insel übte eine starke Anziehungskraft auf Kaiser Wilhelm II. aus. Er reiste ab 1890 mehrmals hierhin und bestieg die Bergkuppe Digermulenkollen, die eine großartige Aussicht auf den Vestfjord und auf den Raftsund bietet. Er errichtete hier eine Varde. Die Bergkuppe heißt seitdem Keiservarden. Zahlreiche deutsche Touristen folgten seinen Spuren.
Geografie
Die Insel im Europäischen Nordmeer wird von mehreren Fjorden geteilt, und zwei besonders lange, der Gullesfjord im Nordosten und der Øksfjord im Südwesten, schneiden sie beinahe in zwei Teile: nur 5 km trennen ihre Enden voneinander. Die Landschaft ist bergig. Im Süden der Insel liegt der Møysalen, mit 1.262 m Höhe ihr höchster Berg. Die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung ist im Nordosten um Harstad und Kvæfjord konzentriert.
Die Verbindung zum Festland wird durch die 1007 m lange Tjeldsundbrücke über den Tjeldsund hergestellt. Im Westen führt die Sortlandbrua auf die benachbarte Insel Langøya und im Norden die Andøybrücke auf die Insel Andøya. Diese drei Inseln gehören geographisch zur Inselgruppe Vesterålen. Im Südwesten führt die Raftsundet bru zur Insel Austvågøya, die zu der Inselgruppe Lofoten gehört.
Politische Einteilung
Hinnøya liegt ungefähr zur Hälfte im Fylke Troms (Harstad, Kvæfjord und Tjeldsund) und zur Hälfte in Nordland (Andøy, Hadsel, Lødingen, Sortland). Der Westen von Hinnøya wird der Inselgruppe Vesterålen zugerechnet, die südwestliche Spitze gilt als Teil von Lofoten, weil sie früher nur mit dem Boot von Svolvær aus erreichbar war.

Der Raftsund ist die Wasserstraße zwischen Lofoten und Vesterålen. Entlang des Sundes liegen mehrere Häuser und ehemalige Handelsplätze, die zumeist nach dem Ausbau des Straßennetzes ihre einstmals zentrale Lage und Funktion verloren haben. Die Natur entlang des Raftsundes ist dennoch ein großes Erlebnis. Besonders eindrucksvoll ist der Trollfjord.
Der Raftsund wird im Norden von der Raftsundet bru überspannt, die ein Teil der Festlandsverbindung der Lofoten ist. Die Brücke wurde am 6. November 1998 eröffnet.
Die Schiffe der Hurtigruten verkehren auf ihrem Weg zwischen Svolvær und Stokmarknes durch den Raftsund. Bei schönem Wetter machen sie dabei in den Sommermonaten einen Abstecher in den Trollfjord.
In der Nacht zum 22. September 1954 lief das nordwärts fahrende Hurtigrutenschiff D/S Nordstjernen bei Hanøy im nördlichen Raftsund auf Grund und sank innerhalb von 20 Minuten, wobei fünf Menschen ihr Leben verloren.

My pic (left) in a new National Geographic book (Practical Photography Guide, technical tips for taking great photos), the caption reads "The hands of this lady perched on an Afghan blanket are the focus of this photo. The sharpness of the focus makes us feel the hands as if they were ours, and we can almost feel the texture of the fabric."

I don't know about you, but I've always thought that having one's photo published by National Geographic is the ultimate honor a photographer can have....
So imagine my surprise when I found out that a photo of Dominica that I took a couple of years ago was featured on the National Geographic website. You can see the usage at this link:
blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/intelligenttravel/dest...
Now, its not the same as making it to the pages of the print magazine, but I have to admit that I was pleased that one of my photos showed up on anything affiliated with National Geographic.
I hope you'll excuse my pride, but I wanted to share it with my friends here on Flickr.
And where did they find the photo?
On Flickr, of course.
You just never know who is looking at your work.....apparently even National Geographic editors visit here.
