A gathering of 'Grandessa' hybrid argyranthemum daisies, in my garden during Spring of 2020. The image has been refined in Adobe Lightroom and given a slender black frame. These are one of my favourite types of daisy to have in the garden. Always available in Bunnings garden centre at Dural, where else? lol

A bumblebee (or bumble bee, bumble-bee, or humble-bee) is any of over 250 species in the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini, though a few extinct related genera (e.g., Calyptapis) are known from fossils. They are found primarily in higher altitudes or latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, although they are also found in South America, where a few lowland tropical species have been identified. European bumblebees have also been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. Female bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals

The Pyrrhuloxia (pronounced however your mouth decides in the moment) is the desert’s answer to a cardinal—same spiky crest, but with more attitude and less hydration.
I found this one perched on a rare leafy ocotillo, posing like he owned the place. With his candy-corn beak, dusty-red plumage, and permanent side-eye, he’s the bird version of a grumpy old-timer who’s seen things.
He’s tougher than his Northern cousin—built for heat, sand, and yelling at you from a bush for reasons known only to him. His song? Like a cardinal, but sharper, higher, and just a little bit judgmental.
Get the light right, and he glows like a desert ember.
He sings with a sting and glares like a monk—
A feathered grump with desert funk.
It is the third highest mountain in Brazil, situated on the border of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states. It is the highest point in both states. It was historically considered the highest mountain in Brazil until 1965, when Pico da Neblina and Pico 31 de Março, next to the Venezuelan border, were explored, measured, and both found to be higher. The peak is said to have been so named after Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, ordered a flag to be flown on top of it.
It is one of the major attractions of Caparaó National Park, accessible from the nearby town of Alto Caparaó. That town and the entrance to the park lie in Minas Gerais, but the summit of Pico da Bandeira lies in Espírito Santo.
The summit is accessible to hikers of most age groups, with only very limited fitness requirements. The track from the park entrance to the summit track [8 km (5.0 mi)] can be driven by most vehicles, and the summit track itself runs for approximately 9 km (5.6 mi), with a further 1,000 m (3,280 ft) climb.

The sequence of the highest mountains in Brazil:
#1: Pico da Neblina (2,993.80 m / 9,822 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#2: March 31 Peak (2,972.70 m / 9,816 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#3: Pico da Bandeira (2,892 m / 9,488 ft), Brazil;
#4: Pico do Calçado* (2,849 m / 9,347 ft), Brazil;
#6: Pico do Cristal (2,769.80 m / 9,084 ft), Brazil;
The difference from the third highest to the first is only 101.80 meters / 334 ft in altitude.
I climbed the third, fourth and sixth in Brazil this weekend. Only the sixth mountain is challenging.
* For reasons of topographical prominence, the IBGE considers Pico do Calçado a secondary peak of Pico da Bandeira and not a separate mountain.

The berlin cube cloudified and kaleidoscoped for Sliders Sunday. Composite made of two images taken there in mid July. The first image is a capture I took standing right next to the cube's facade and pointing the camera straight up. In Photoshop, I copied the layer with the original image, flipped the new layer horizontally, and cross-faded it with the first layer by using the blending mode "Overlay" at 75 % opacity. 100 % would have resulted in a punchier look on the right side, but I rather liked the softness and that it somehow looks as if the cube would slowly dissolve into or merge with the clouds. The next step was to replace the sky above the cube(s). For that I used a small part of the very first image I'd taken at the cube; I was just about to compose the image in the viewfinder when I noticed the bird, and decided to skip the composing part in favour of the bird ;-) (Birds, just like photographers, love the new berlin cube. There was a constant coming and going on the cube's roof, and it seems that, while not even all new tenants have moved in, yet, the cube's roof has already been occupied by the bird population that lives in the Hauptbahnhof area.) Next, I gently HDRified the finished composite in Aurora, then went into ON1 where I added some sunbeams to the upper sky part of the image, and added a soft glow for an extra airy look.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice and safe new week ahead!
Kleine Spiegel-Spielerei vom "berlin cube" für den Sliders Sunday. Dieses Bild ist zusammengesetzt aus zwei verschiedenen Fotos, die ich dort Mitte Juli gemacht habe. Für Foto Nr. 1 hatte ich fast an der Fassade des Cubes gelehnt und die Kamera direkt nach oben gerichtet. Dieses Foto habe ich in Photoshop auf einer kopierten Ebene einfach horizontal gespiegelt und mit dem darunter liegenden Originalbild bei 75 % Deckkraft ineinanderkopiert. Danach habe ich den Himmel über "den Cubes" ersetzt, und zwar mit einem kleinen Teil des allerersten Fotos, das ich dort gemacht hatte. Ich war gerade dabei gewesen, eine gute Position zu finden, um den Cube möglichst sauber ausgerichtet fotografieren zu können, bemerkte dann aber den Vogel und beschloss, das saubere Ausrichten zugunsten des Vogels auf das nächste Foto zu verschieben ;-) Überhaupt ist der neue Cube schon sehr beliebt bei den Vögeln, die rund um den Berliner Hauptbahnhof leben. Während längst noch nicht alle Mieter in den Cube eingezogen sind, hat die Vogel-Gang vom Hauptbahnhof bereits das gesamte Dach in Beschlag genommen ;-) Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich das fertig zusammengesetzte Bild erst in Aurora sanft HDRisiert und dann, in ON1, dem oberen Teil ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und zum Abschluss dem gesamten Foto ein leichtes Leuchten verpasst, um den luftig-leichten Look zu betonen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund, liebe Flickr-Freunde :-)
Die Shoshone Falls nahe der Ortschaft Twin Falls gehören zu den größten Wasserfällen im Nordwesten der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie liegen am Snake River, der im Yellowstone-Nationalpark entspringt und durch Wyoming nach Idaho fließt. Das Wasser rauscht über eine knapp 300 m breite Felskante etwa 65 m in die Tiefe. Manchmal werden die Fälle auch als „Niagara of the West“ bezeichnet. Sie sind etwa 14 m höher als diese. Im Herbst 1869 wurde zum ersten Mal Gold unterhalb der Shoshone Falls entdeckt. Dies führte zu einem kurzen, aber bedeutenden Goldrausch.
The Shoshone Falls near the town of Twin Falls are among the largest waterfalls in the northwestern United States. They are located on the Snake River, which rises in Yellowstone National Park and flows through Wyoming to Idaho. The water rushes over a nearly 300 m wide rock edge and falls about 65 m into the depths. The falls are sometimes referred to as the "Niagara of the West". They are about 14 m higher than this. In the autumn of 1869, gold was discovered for the first time below the Shoshone Falls. This led to a short but significant gold rush.
Poor Santa was getting so cold sitting in the snow, he decided to climb the tree to get some sunshine. And this way, he can keep his eyes on the chimney :)

... at higher altitudes of the Black Forest only.
This is one of my favorite spots to start a winter walk like I did yesterday.
A nice 8 km path leads from St. Märgen to St. Peter, offering lovely views
to the mountains and remote Black Forest- farmhouses.
Wishing you a happy Sunday, dear friends :-)
Many thanks for your kind visits and comments, on my previous image too.

CN L536 rolls underneath the South Side Elevated starting down the Chicago Sub after taking its window at 16th. The South Side Elevated opened in 1892 making it the oldest line on the Chicago "L".
A nice old stone bridge spanning river Meavy near the small village of the same name. We spotted some trout in the crystal clear and still water. I especially like the gnarly and moss-covered tree mirrored on the water surface and framed by the arch.

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)
(Double click)
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or particles suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. The droplets and crystals may be made of water or various chemicals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere (which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere). Nephology is the science of clouds which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the atmosphere; Latin and common. Cloud types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. Formally proposed in 1802, it became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms that appear in any or all of three altitude levels (formerly known as étages). These physical types, in approximate ascending order of convective activity, include stratiform sheets, cirriform wisps and patches, stratocumuliform layers (mainly structured as rolls, ripples, and patches), cumuliform heaps, and very large cumulonimbiform heaps that often show complex structure. The physical forms are divided by altitude level into ten basic genus-types. The Latin names for applicable high-level genera carry a cirro- prefix, and an alto- prefix is added to the names of the mid-level genus-types. Most of the genera can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties.
Two cirriform clouds that form higher up in the stratosphere and mesosphere have common names for their main types. They are seen infrequently, mostly in the polar regions of Earth. Clouds have been observed in the atmospheres of other planets and moons in the Solar System and beyond. However, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are often composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid as well as water.
Taken as a whole, homospheric clouds can be cross-classified by form and level to derive the ten tropospheric genera and the two additional major types above the troposphere. The cumulus genus includes three species that indicate vertical size. Clouds with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one altitude level are officially classified as low- or mid-level according to the altitude range at which each initially forms. However they are also more informally classified as multi-level or vertical.
