Redstarts are immediately identifiable by their bright orange-red tails, which they often quiver. Breeding males look smart, with slate grey upper parts, black faces and wings and an orange rump and chest. Females and young are duller. Redstarts 'bob' in a very robin-like manner, but spend little time at ground level. It is included on the Amber List of species with unfavourable conservation status in Europe where it is declining. From the RSPB website.
People spend hours making these intricate designs on the street only to have them destroyed when religious parades go by. Once the parades have passed by, they immediately begin to create another design for the same thing to happen all over again.
I have no idea if this has an official name and what it would be, but I once read a book that featured a "glass cathedral" and in my mind that name immediately popped up when I saw this beautiful structure :-)

St Ives, Huntingdonshire
The small triangular area of water meadow, immediately to the west of the town and adjacent to the River Great Ouse, known as Nobles Field was purchased by the Borough of St Ives for use by the people of St Ives. It is managed today by a small committee of St Ives Towns Council called the Nobles Field Trust.
the memos, once written, immediately become proof that they were busy ;-)

On the coldest days, you can find solitude here (I'm very thankful for my cold-weather gear).
Lake ice is starting to re-form after our recent warm spell. How much forms in the winter that we have left, we can only guess.
We often think of the Lake as a wilderness immediately next to our urban sprawl. It's not really a wilderness though. The Lake has been totally messed up multiple times, since we arrived. Better days for all of us will involve taking good care of our lakes.
Hoping that you have a really nice weekend!
After flying off these two almost immediately returned. I switched to a different camera with a zoom lens which made them easier to track. Curious to see if they could be sexed and turns out they can. The bird on the right is the female, they have a longer bill and can be 20% larger than the male on the left. He has a brighter orange bill and is more heavily barred during breeding.
The trees immediately south of the Canada/US border were covered in a fresh sticky snow. I was heading further south, but stopped to take this photo in a country region just south of the border and off Baie Missisquoi. As I expected, this fresh snow was only in the northern end of the state. In general, there is not a lot of snow in Northern Vermont. This is a mere dusting, when there should be a few feet of snow.
As I enter the grounds of the Imperial Palace of Osaka, I am immediately captivated by its grandeur and historical significance. The sight before me is a remarkable showcase of Japanese architecture nestled within its fortified walls, now transformed into an open-air museum. The palace stands proudly, exuding an aura of elegance and cultural heritage.
The first thing that strikes me is the intricate design of the palace's façade. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring, with delicate wooden beams and ornate carvings adorning every surface. The traditional Japanese roof, with its gracefully curved lines and layers of tiles, adds a distinct charm to the overall structure.
As I venture further into the palace grounds, I am surrounded by a serene and meticulously maintained landscape. The meticulously manicured gardens feature meticulously pruned trees, vibrant blossoms, and tranquil ponds. The air is filled with the soothing sounds of water trickling and birdsong, creating a peaceful atmosphere that transports me to another era.
Walking along the pathways, I can't help but imagine the historical events that have unfolded within these walls. The palace's fortifications, now serving as a testament to its past, remind me of the country's rich and turbulent history. I am reminded of the countless stories and legacies that have shaped Japan and its people.
As I continue my exploration, I come across various exhibitions and displays that showcase the cultural heritage of Japan. Ancient artifacts, traditional artworks, and historical documents are carefully presented, allowing visitors like myself to delve deeper into the country's fascinating past. The blend of historical significance and artistic beauty is truly remarkable.
Standing in the midst of this magnificent complex, I feel a profound sense of admiration for the Japanese people's dedication to preserving their heritage. The Imperial Palace of Osaka stands as a symbol of their reverence for tradition and their commitment to passing it on to future generations.
Leaving the palace grounds, I carry with me a newfound appreciation for Japanese architecture and history. The experience has been a captivating journey through time, allowing me to witness firsthand the splendor and cultural significance of this extraordinary landmark.

The previous posted shot is the one which i captured immediately after the sun broke out on, the first dawn of a new decade, starting 1st Jan 2010. I didnt plan to capture any more shots, however, when i saw the reflections of the sun in the water i captured this shot, and couldnt stop posting it here. Hope you folks like it.
Heart Spring
Upper Geyser Basin
Yellowstone National Park
Immediately southeast of the Lion Group, Heart Spring is a pretty pool of clear blue water, 15 feet deep and 10 feet across, enclosed by white sinter mats and orange-brown algae. It was named in the 1950s because of its heart-like shape. The pool is generally inactive, its water temperature a little below boiling. www.americansouthwest.net

Mama Red-winged Blackbird wasn't able to reach the spider from her previous position so she immediately switched tactics, flying to the other side, where she snatched the prize and carried it back to the nest on Horsepen Bayou.
Immediately below the Cora Lynn Falls, located on a tributary of the Armstrong Creek near Marysville in Victoria, Australia, the seed of a fern, bush, or tree had taken root on this very small rock and a new life had begun. I wondered how long it would survive before a flood washed it away and, when I visited the area six years later, this rock was no longer in place. . . . . .Tamron 55-200mm f4 -5.6 Di II LD Macro
Folks who’ve spent any time around Chester California will recognize the Olsen Barn immediately as it’s a bit of a local icon. It sits in a 100+ acre meadow nestled between the North Fork of the Feather River and Lake Almanor. Some time back the land was purchased by the Feather River Land Trust and, thanks to a very successful fund raising campaign, some restoration work was completed and the area serves as a publicly accessible nature preserve/historical site.
I confess that around 9:15pm on this particular night was the first time I’d ever actually walked out to this wonderful old structure even though I’ve driven by it scores of times and always thought I needed to photograph it. I guess under the core of our little galaxy is a good place to start.
I did process this image in color as well but I rather like this monochrome version with the rustic old structure so dominant in the image.

Since these pictures were taken, much restoration work has been done on the Propylaea (especially in the years immediately prior to the 2004 Olympics) and it still serves as the entrance to the Acropolis of Athens, used by thousands of tourists every year.
The fresh snow immediately thaws again and fog rises from the valleys. The view is reminiscent of paintings.
The waters flowing towards glen moriston here above the loch but the kintail hills surrounding are more associated with glen shiel. The vast open space is quite thought provoking and immediately raises the question (in many it doesn't!) as to how natural that is. In the distance there's a forestry plantation successfully growing, growing simply because it was protected from grazing animals ... so just how many deer or sheep does it take to raze a landscape like this into the current form we see?
Everyone loves Mardin, and it’s immediately apparent why: this ancient town crowned with a castle overlooks the vast, roasted Mesopotamian plains extending to Syria, and the honey-coloured stone houses that trip down the side of the hillside give it something of the feel of old city.
Wat Niwet Thammaprawat lies immediately south of the island on which the Bang Pa-In Palace stands. King Chulalongkorn (r.1868 - 1910) wanted it built in a different architectural style than other Thai Buddhist monasteries. The ordination hall is in the style of a Neo-Gothic Christian church. The windows and doors are stain-glassed. Above the door there is a picture of King Chulalongkorn in royal attire. He named the presiding Buddha image inside Phra Phutthanarumon Thammophat. The completed monastery was dedicated in 1878. The King declared it a royal monastery for the reformed sect of King Mongkut.
The only way to reach it is via this cableway. Sadly on this occasion I ran out of time for a visit but hopefully I will be able to next time I go
I hope your eyes immediately spotted the "Why Worry" road sign. Such a perfect name for a road surrounded by so much beauty!
My mother used to always recite a little quote to me by Corrie Ten Boom: "Worry does not empty tomorrow of it's troubles, it empties today of it's strength."
Have a great week everyone, and no matter which road you take, I hope it's one that is full of STRENGTH!
I have purposefully posted this landscape immediately after yesterday's landscape to highlight the similarities and differences in landscape photography.
'New Topographics' tenants utilize a straight forward approach. Striping away the extraneous, and focusing on the beauty and simplicity of humanity's intrusion upon the land. Avoiding the picturesque it brings formality, and focuses on the conscious awareness of 'space'.
I was lucky with the harsh sunlight which Robert Adams used when he photographed his series in Colorado.
To achieve this effect I shoot through a vintage glass Wratten 5N5, 3x3 inch filter, then post edit with 'Photoscape' black and white tool.
Immediately in front is the bronze statue of the Archangel bestowing the laurel branch upon the heroiczich

Dean Village (from dene, meaning 'deep valley') is a former village immediately northwest of the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was known as the "Water of Leith Village" and was the centre of a successful grain milling area for more than 800 years. At one time there were no fewer than eleven working mills there, driven by the strong currents of the Water of Leith.
Very territorial little Lizard. He spotted me a long way off and ran to confront me. Immediately challenge me to a contest of pushups. He did about 45 or more in just a few seconds. I said "Okay Pal, you win. No contest." Feeling superior now, he hopped up on a rock about 6 feet away, and proceeded to challenge me once again, but this time did about 75, and waited for a response. I straightaway turned and walked away, in absolute defeat.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

I didn’t immediately see this little guy because he was hidden in the middle of a group of Mallards. Also his colouring was much the same as the surrounding stone. They don’t stay still very long and he was wandering all over the place so I was fortunate to get him when he stood still for a moment.
Thank you for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
I came across this rattlesnake while walking a trail in the nature preserve near my home today. It immediately alerted me to its presence with its rattle (not stopping the entire time I was within its sight). As soon as I heard it, I took several steps backward. I could hear where it was, but it took me about a minute to spot it hiding under the sage bush where the sound was coming from.
I was about 4 feet away and had my telephoto lens attached (hoping for a good bird photo). I was able to adjust my exposure for the poor light under the bush and captured this shot through an opening in the branches (while maintaining my safe distance).
The quote: “Rattlesnakes would be a lot more dangerous if they didn't have the rattle.”
Is from the book ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. It is a good read for young adults. My son and I both read it when he was in middle school.
Shot for “Smile on Saturday!” and the theme ‘Pictures with added text’. (Smile? I’m smiling for capturing this shot without getting bit thanks to its rattle!)
I did not go any further on the trail. The path was too narrow for me to pass safely. I'm sure the snake was happy I turned back too!
The lion is another one of the amazing sand sculptures which add additional interest to the park at the palace of Ludwigsburg right now. In reality he sits in front of a restaurant which doesn't make a pretty background. When I saw him I immediately imagined him on a rock high above the plains of the Serengeti with only the sky above him and this is the reason why I chose this background for him.
That melody immediately played in my head, because it reminded me of the great Beatles' song, composed by George Harrison.
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That's much appreciated..
The last day of our adventure we were walking around Stockholm and came across a statue with glasses. My friend who had most similar glasses immediately decided to mimic the statue, therefore they became friends :)
This squirrel in my yard 3-5 days after leaving its tree cavity may now be my current "yard squirrel." It found my squirrel feeder immediately. All of my yard squirrels over the years proved to be females.
I visited this famous area for the first time and immediately forgot to bring my highly necessary tripod plate. Fortunately, Rob and later Karin were there and we had a nice chat about our mutual hobby....Fortunately, I still managed to get the chance to take this shot and clearly have another reason to return there.....:)
Sock thief to the left with Uncle Fester in the middle flanked by baby reptilian shapeshifter on the right are spies and monker (monster)hunters . They rest in between their exhaustive day of doing nothing but sleep that is. I turn on the tv and choose the long running tv show Grim. The three immediately sit up and take notice barking their heads off when a human morphs into a monster on the show. . They feel they must protect the family and me and all three charge the tv letting out high pitched barks then start posturing and strutting as though they impressed us with their bravery . I hide a smile behind my hand as they stare directly at me and get offended and cranky if they think one of us is laughing at them.
bread scars
I was surprised how incredible can be the bread crust, how beautiful shapes can be discovered. I immediately associated this one with scars. HMM to You :)
As I walked by this tree on the summit of Mt. Pemigewasset the idea of taking this bokeh shot immediately came to mind.
It’s easy to tell when they’re excited! That crest just immediately pops up! Show them a peanut – instant pop-up!
Part three of my series about the sights with a look over the Bohemian and currently extremely foggy Děčín in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
The building you see in the background, which stands in a fascinating but somewhat threatening place, caught my eye immediately when I arrived up here.
In contrast to the castle down in the valley, I didn't know it existed before and was very surprised to see such an impressive building there.
Because of the silhouette with the tower, I spontaneously thought it was a church or a small hunting lodge. But as I later found out, the building has been serving tourists since it was built in 1905.
The viewpoint can be reached in 20-30 minutes via a signposted hiking trail.
Or you can rent the necessary equipment at the foot of the rock (called Schäferwand) and use one of the 16 via ferratas. I think I'll tackle the latter at some point.
Teil drei meiner Serie über die Sehenswürdigkeiten bei einem Blick über das böhmische und im Moment extrem neblige Děčín im Elbsandsteingebirge.
Das Gebäude, was Ihr hier im Hintergrund seht und welches an einem faszinierenden jedoch auch etwas bedrohlich wirkenden Platz steht, fiel mir sofort ins Auge, als ich hier oben ankam.
Im Gegensatz zum Schloß, unten im Tal, wusste ich vorher nicht, dass es existiert und war somit sehr überrascht, dort ein solch impostantes Gebäude zu sehen.
Auf Grund der Silhouette mit dem Turm dachte ich spontan es wäre eine Kirche oder kleines Jagdschloss. Doch wie ich später herausfand, dient das Gebäude bereits seit seinem Baum 1905 der Bewirtung von Touristen.
Den Aussichtspunkt erreicht man in 20-30 Minuten über einen ausgeschilderten Wanderweg.
Oder aber, man leiht sich am Fuße des Felsens (genannt Schäferwand) die nötige Ausrüstung aus und benutzt einen der 16 angelegten Klettersteige. Ich denke, letzteres werd ich irgendwann mal in Angriff nehmen.

Perhaps it was the most amazing moment of the lunar eclipse. Immediately after the full phase (I observed from #Western_Siberia ), the southern pole began to flare up, freed from the shadow of the Earth ...
And at that moment, the colors typical of the golden hour (so familiar to us on earth during the sunset and dawn), and - at the same time! - colors characteristic of the blue hour.
Only on Earth do we observe the blue hour after sunset (or before sunrise). But the blue hour of the moon coincided with the appearance of the first rays of the sun on it.

Rus.: Синий час золотой Луны
Пожалуй, это был самый удивительный момент затмения. Уже не полная фаза, начал разгораться южный полюс, освобождаемый от тени Земли...
И в этот момент встретились краски, характерные для золотого часа (так знакомые нам на земле во время заката и рассвета), и - одновременно! - краски, характерные для синего часа.
Только на Земле мы синий час наблюдаем после захода солнца (или до его восхода). А вот синий час Луны совпал с появлением на ней первых лучей солнца.
Было очень красивое и необычное сочетание. Причём, видеть его можно было и невооружённым глазом.
Возможно, в городе не так, но мы вырвались на 23 километра южнее и не пожалели.
На фото такой цвет отразить оказалось сложнее, чем увидеть невооружённым глазом, но спасла монтировка, сделавшая возможной длинную выдержку - 10 секунд потребовалось камере с очень хорошим сенсором, чтобы на сравнительно невысокой светочувствительности добраться до нюансов цвета в тенях и на освещённой части.
Ещё раз убедился, что в астрофото часто важнее объектива (или телескопа - в данном случае) хорошая монтировка, способная компенсировать вращение Земли и обеспечить длинные выдержки (10 секунд для Луны на фокусном 1325mm - пока мой рекорд;-).
Конечно, при попытке сфотографировать туманности выдержка 10s кажется до смешного маленькой. А вот для яркой Луны раньше я такую никогда не применял. Затмение сподвигло лихорадочно перебирать параметры экспозиции в стремительно меняющихся условиях, чтобы хоть отчасти передать красоту явления.
Meols /ˈmɛlz/ (sometimes known as Great Meols) is a village on the northern coast of the Wirral Peninsula, England. It is contiguous with the larger town of Hoylake, situated immediately to the west. Historically in Cheshire, since 1 April 1974 it has been a part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in the metropolitan county of Merseyside.
Great name for an amazing butterfly. One of the Swallowtail family, which I could immediately tell from the way it flew through the meadow.

In a world where everything happens immediately, I like to do some things that take extra time on purpose. When you draw, you let your thoughts develop and evolve in ways you might be least expecting and you realize things about yourself, too. Sometimes, these are not easy things. It is a sort of psychological adventure each time and, even when you plan, you never know quite what you’ll end up with. As a photographer, I am spoiled. Waiting for just the right moment can still be a challenge but compared with drawing, it seems so easy. Drawing (and painting) is much harder work and taxing to your wrists, as well. The deliberate motions create a biological impact. So, why do it? We do it because we can prove this way that we are still human. I don’t get a chance to draw (or paint) very often, I must admit, and it is usually when I have a break from work. I started painting in my early 20s but it is much more messy and cats like to prance their paws all across the canvas (Some cats are artists, too!) In any case, I returned to drawing after the pandemic occurred and I had all of my social time taken away. It helped me discover hidden aspects of myself I hadn’t met yet or hadn’t been acquainted with for quite some time. If you’re looking to do some self searching but you can’t afford therapy, I recommend it as the next best thing. If you have a spot where you can put your work in progress and still have a cat on your lap, that’s even better. I never considered drawing like this when I was younger because I lacked the technical ability my mother has to make things look exactly the same. My style is definitely much different and more abstract but that’s ok.
I guess I never thought about a name for this piece until now. If I had to decide on one now, I would call it Harmony. I worked on it this past summer while visiting my parents. My dad received his Cancer diagnosis in May and this was a way to contemplate life. Nature has always calmed me when I am feeling quite stressed about things. You can lean your head on a tree and then realize how much suffering it has seen in all its many years and how many heads have similarly leaned. You can cry to an ocean but your tears will just be a very tiny fraction fo the water within. You can scream at a mountain and it will laugh at you in its own way.
There’s also a below here in the roots and I think about the human subconscious as well as the secret worlds of nature we forget about because we don’t always glimpse the roots or the vastness below the surface. Kind of like how we don’t see our own blood until the cut is deep enough.

Immediately upon arrival into Ketton Ward sidings of train 6F73, the 11:22 from London's St. Panacars cement terminal behind GBRf's 66753, RMS Locotech owned 08809 runs the first eight of thirty eight empty wagons from the exchange sidings, situated beside the Melton Mowbray to Peterborough line, up to the Ketton cement works. Located in the ancient county of Rutland in the centre of England, this short privately owned branch line links the cement works at Ketton to the main railway network. Old loading facilities and a tiny underpass beneath the A6121 limit the wagon type to these early 1980s French built PCA four wheelers of which there are 42 in service to maintain a 38 wagon set, all in use by Hanson Cement.
