El embalse de El Atazar es el mayor de la Comunidad de Madrid: con una capacidad de 425,3 hm³, representa el 46% del volumen embalsado de la región. Fue construido en 1972, siendo una de las obras más importantes de la dictadura de Francisco Franco. Es el quinto embalse en el sentido de la corriente que se encuentra el río Lozoya a su paso y pertenece a la red del Canal de Isabel II.

Fleißiger Mann beim Beschneiden seiner Weiden am Wasser - was bei dem sonnigen Wetter schöne Spiegelungen erzeugte.
Looks like this Blackcap is mated up and out collecting for the nest-build early this morning. Spring seems to have only just arrived here.... was like winter two days ago,
Many thanks to those who view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.

I do not like to photograph people because I always have to seek their permission to do so. These two of my neighbors agreed but on condition that I give them those photos. It was a very fun experience. First they posed by leaving their shovels and standing side by side,serious as in church . When I shot them the way they wanted, I showed them the photos and they were pleased. Then I asked them if they allowed me to shoot their tools and they continued to work on making concrete and I was able to shoot them as they worked.
Talking to them, I learned that my neighbors thought I am a weird woman and they call me 'Rambo'. They never know what bush I am hiding behind, passing by they often see me at some strange place, roof, tree or crawling through the grass just like Rambo.
I unsuccessfully explained to them that is a best way to take a good wildlife photos.

Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!
Welder in picture is my friend ylli.

A couple of months ago, I travelled along old Route 66 heading north into Illinois from St Louis (Missouri). I was reminded why Illinois is known as America's breadbasket with its thousands of farms, fields, and silos. I even had a crop duster fly directly over the car while spraying the local crops. Though I stopped a number of times to capture the rural scenery, this simple image is a testament to all the hardworking farmers and their families who keep us supplied with food. Enjoy!
He is not prospecting gold or catching fish. He is collecting boulders to be used for construction of roads, buildings and infrastructures to enrich our civilization. Someswary River has been carrying stones alongwith sand and silt from the mountainous upstream for hundreds of years. After days of hardwork he earns a meager amount to feed his family only.

Black Swallowtail -ovipositing female- (Papilio polyxenes) Allegany County, Maryland
She never stops moving and fluttering her beautiful wings when she looks for her host plant, touching many and stopping only very briefly to deposit her single egg on the right plant.
Her larvae will only survive and thrive on plants in the parsley and carrot family (Apiaceae). So include parsley, dill, or fennel in your garden and you may be rewarded with her visit and as a bonus you will witness and observe the astonishing life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to larva, to chrysalis and finally the amazing emergence of the beautiful adult.

Farmers in the Kazbegi region of Georgia lead a simple but hard life. The climate is harsh, with severe winters and short summers. The rocky soil and mountainous terrain make farming a challenge, so most farmers focus on livestock, especially sheep and cattle. They also grow cold-resistant crops such as potatoes and barley. The photo shows the ruins of stone huts, remnants of ancient shepherds’ shelters in the Kazbegi region. These simple structures, often built from local stone, provided shelter for herders as they herded their livestock in the vast mountain pastures. Their location in the rugged landscape, surrounded by imposing mountains, reflects the herders’ remote and self-sufficient lifestyle. In the summer, they moved their herds to higher grasslands, while these shelters served as temporary shelters from the cold and strong winds. Today, these ruins stand as silent witnesses to an age-old tradition that still lives on in the Kazbegi region, where herders and nomadic communities continue to tend their livestock in harmony with nature.

Boeren in de Kazbegi-regio in Georgië leiden een eenvoudig maar zwaar bestaan. Het klimaat is ruw, met strenge winters en korte zomers. Door de rotsachtige bodem en het bergachtige terrein is landbouw een uitdaging, waardoor de meeste boeren zich richten op veeteelt, met name schapen en koeien. Daarnaast verbouwen ze gewassen die bestand zijn tegen de kou, zoals aardappelen en gerst. De foto toont de ruïnes van stenen hutten, overblijfselen van oude herdersverblijven in de Kazbegi-regio. Deze eenvoudige bouwwerken, vaak opgetrokken uit lokaal gesteente, boden onderdak aan herders die hun vee hoedden in de uitgestrekte bergweiden. De ligging in het ruige landschap, omringd door imposante bergen, weerspiegelt de afgelegen en zelfvoorzienende levensstijl van de herders. In de zomer trokken zij met hun kuddes naar hoger gelegen graslanden, terwijl deze onderkomens dienden als tijdelijke schuilplaatsen tegen de kou en harde wind. Vandaag de dag zijn deze ruïnes stille getuigen van een eeuwenoude traditie die nog steeds voortleeft in de Kazbegi-regio, waar herders en nomadische gemeenschappen hun vee blijven hoeden in harmonie met de natuur.
Seaweed farming is a common activity for women in Zanzibar and other coastal areas in East Africa and it involves cultivating different types of seaweed, primarily for commercial purposes. During low tide, women wade into the shallow waters along the coastline to tend to their seaweed farms. They typically tie small pieces of seaweed to lines or nets anchored to the seabed. These lines are then suspended in the water column, allowing the seaweed to grow and flourish.

They produce excellent Garnacha grapes every year and they are used to make wines at Domaines Lupier, Navarra, Spain. We just tasted them just before harvest.... incredible. And after fermentation... more incredible :-)
Two young brothers, ages five and ten years old, work together in fetching water for use by their mother in laundry washing.
They draw the water by using a hand water pump at their neighbor's place and then they carry the water pails by hand to their house. They do this repeatedly until the wash basins and a few large plastic containers are all filled with water.

While in Nepal for 5 weeks, I got to meet so many wonderful people. I'm amazed at the heavy load this woman carried, and yet she still took time to visit with me. My burdens no longer seem heavy.
Inle Lake in Myanmar is famous for rowers masterfully balancing on one leg. Photos of such hardworking fishermen are plentiful, but most are staged. Of course, there are many "real" fishermen plying Inle Lake with traps in order to bring home the catch to their families. But the 'model' guys have figured out another way to make a few dollars off the lake—posing for tourists for tips. They wear traditional, colorful clothing and perform amazing acrobatic shows; their sense of balance and the strength required to pose is quite remarkable. When they finished their act, I gladly gave a modeling fee to these hard-working men who provide an honest service. Despite the shots being posed, the moment is still magical and does not make the images any less beautiful.
Balancing in the boat's stern and paddling with one foot is a traditional fishing technique dating to the 12th century. Using a leg instead of hands to row allows a fisherman to see submerged obstacles and find a clear route while searching for the tell-tale bubbles of fish shoals.

This guy who I believe to be in his late 60s is a farmer from a neighboring town. When I initially saw him, he was cutting some tall wild grass on a vacant private lot near the junction of the highway and the road leading to the Subic Shipyard.
Out of my curiosity, I later asked him what he is going to do with the grass that he already cut with a long knife and which he is preparing to transport via his motorcycle taxi. He said that he will feed it to his four female cows and that he came to Subic Town because he could not find any of that kind of grass in any areas near his farm.
Taken in the aforementioned municipality of Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
Few months back, I met this poor farmer, a real hard worker, in the pre summer unexpected rains, saw him right n de middle of his Rice field , looking at the submerging seeds, felt xtremely bad but his face was EMOTIONLESS, asked me what can be done to save the field getting damaged due to unexpected flooding!!! Just looked at me n walked away. Chased him, now 'm also wet due to de heavy rains n wind, thought I can be of some help, but he didn't look at me, nor answered my Q's. After sometime, wen the rain subsided, saw him doing something n another field. 'm sure that he lost all or part of his hardwork n de fury of Nature.
Later, I visited the area looking for my usual birdies, n found that he has planted fresh seeds, curiosity broght me there again one month back and seen his fields are n healthy condition, de harvesting is going on with modern methods, men are replaced by machines for speed n efficiency?? Modern transporting systems replaced de Bullock carts too!!!! Yes we're moc=ving ahead fast,
His emotionless face, I can still visualize and this is just for HIM!!! Good Luck my Dear Friend!!
