Five final shots of a sky filled with swallows. The interesting thing is that after the photomerge, the program removed half of the swallows, so I had to go back to the original shots and re paste the birds into layers :-) It must be said that when doing this I did enlarge two, to give the photo a hint of drama to its space...

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-))
Where in this wide world can man find
nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility;
he has fought without enmity
. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
All is relative: the Black-shouldered Kite flew low, yet the bee danced far above.

High Brown Fritillary - Argynnis adippe
This large, powerful butterfly is usually seen flying swiftly over the tops of bracken or low vegetation in woodland clearings. In flight, the males are almost impossible to separate from those of the Dark Green Fritillary, which often share the same habitats. However, both species frequently visit flowers such as thistles and Bramble where it is possible to see their distinctive underside wing markings. The Dark Green lacks the orange ringed 'pearls' on the underside of the hindwing.
The High Brown Fritillary was once widespread in England and Wales but since the 1950s has undergone a dramatic decline. It is now reduced to around 50 sites where conservationists are working to save it from extinction.

..a wee bit of wifi discovered on Kangaroo Island! Such a treasure trove of stunning scenery, nature...last day tomorrow. Wishing all flickr friends well, I am missing regular contact.
With warmer temperatures these past several days, this wildflower was able to make an appearance...... just barely breaking through the snow cover.
This great EMD lash leads the manifest SUPNTW south and west over the Hinckley Sub over the Net River trestle through Holyoke.
Catching a green SD60 leading has been on the list for some time, and even though the weather was awful, I'll take it.

I have to go to meet some politicians today to help introduce them to the work we're doing to try and save the High Brown Fritillary in Wales. Among others I think the First Minister and Deputy First Minister are coming. It should be fun, apart from the fact the thick fog means we won't be able to see much. Lucky You is by The National.
Even at the end of a long winter there are so many beautiful views in this earth. Love this falls in County Durham the walkway to the base is beautifully laid out and makes this falls accessible to most.
Please enjoy the wonderful details in Large.
Thank you so much for your visit!

The Old Police Headquarters is an administrative building in Frankfurt am Main, built between 1911 and 1914, which was the seat of the Frankfurt Police Headquarters from 1914 to 2002 and is a listed building.
In March 2018, the sale of the Old Police Headquarters by the State of Hesse to the Düsseldorf-based Gerchgroup for 212.5 million euros was announced. The proceeds are to be invested in housing and education. The plan is to renovate the old building and construct a new ensemble with apartments, offices, a hotel, as well as a daycare center and a gym. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022, with completion in 2026. In total, the site covers more than 15,000 m². The sale of the site was preceded by a dispute over the sales price between the City of Frankfurt and the State of Hesse.
