Outlet glacier, Hoffellsjökull, as seen in Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður National Park in south-east Iceland. Due to climate change,
Hoffellsjökull Glacier has retreated a considerable distance and a deep glacial lake is rapidly developing in the depression left behind.

Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, QUÉBEC - Ce matin, mi-confiant je me rends au parc afin de rencontrer, peut-être, le petit renardeau photographié depuis quelques semaines par bon nombre de photographes. Après avoir roulé plusieurs kilomètres et un porc-épic, je vois apparaître une belle femelle orignal au milieu de la rivière au kilomètre 20 environ. À ce moment, Gilles Tardif et sa femme Lisette se joignent à moi pour prendre en photo cette superbe bête qui se nourrissait de vallisnérie d'Amérique. Cette belle rencontre a fait notre journée!

A panoramic view of the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) at 5060m altitude in the altiplano of Chile to the east of San Pedro de Atacama. The 26 (?) antennae visible are around 40% of the 66 total.
The picture was taken while visiting ALMA as part of the EIROforum group, touring around the European Southern Observatory's astronomical facilities in Chile.

City Echoes II
The colossal granite statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II, known as the "Younger Memnon", currently located in the British Museum, London.
- The statue is a fragment, consisting of the head and upper torso, from one of a pair of colossal statues that originally flanked the entrance of the Ramesseum mortuary temple in Thebes, Upper Egypt.
- Carved from a single block of two-colored granite, the fragment weighs approximately 7.25 tonnes.
- The hole visible on the right shoulder is reportedly the result of an unsuccessful attempt to remove the statue by Napoleon's expedition in the late 18th century.
- Its arrival in England in 1818 is widely believed to have inspired Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem, "Ozymandias".

The making of Maasvlakte II, the new harbour expansion of the port of Rotterdam.
Austin II was built by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds (HE 1092/36) and delivered in 1936. It stayed on the Longbridge system for all of its life but, unlike some other Longbridge engines this little tank was scrapped in 1970.
This was a view Peter took many times and it shows "The Austin" when it was a large factory turning out decent family cars, the view is undated, the car in the foreground may well give a clue, but a roof and roof-rack are not enough for me to identify it.
At the other side of the railway wagon loads of steel scrap await working down to Kings Norton Yard, the scrap was trimmings from body panels stamped out in the press shop. The site is a college & retail park today.

While I was a student at TU Dresden around 1989 this was a pile of old black bricks with just a few reduced walls still standing and a lot of history to tell. Years later I read the ancient powers united efforts to rebuild this beauty incorporating bricks from the present and the past and from here and there. I still wonder how were the small details figured out.

"Hummingbird II" by Patti Deters. Ruby-throated Hummingbird panorama captured in my own backyard resting on the leaves of a magnolia sebodii tree. There were a pair of these hummers flying and perching in the tree right outside my office window - just begging for a photograph!
