En la toma anterior el abejaruco de la izquierda estaba visiblemente nervioso ante la aproximación de un tercero con un insecto en el pico. En esta toma se le puede ver sorprendido, (¿decepcionado?) cuando el que acaba de aterrizar con el sabroso regalo lo hace en el otro extremo del posadero y decide no ofrecérselo a nadie.
Recortada.
In the previous shot, the bee-eater on the left was visibly nervous at the approach of a third bird with an insect in its beak. In this shot he can be seen surprised (disappointed?) when the one who has just landed with the tasty treat lands at the other end of the innkeeper and decides not to offer it to anyone.
Hace casi tres años subí una fotografía parecida a ésta realizada en el mismo lugar (charcos del rio grande en Quesa -Valencia-) y con los mismos protagonistas, salvo que en esta ocasión se aprecia mucho mejor a la araña (en la anterior estaba más camuflada debajo de la hoja).
El macho de Gomphus graslinii se posaba de forma intermitente en ese posadero controlando uno de sus territorios, mientras que el aracnido se movía cautelosamente por debajo de la hoja.
Almost three years ago I uploaded a photograph similar to this one taken in the same place (charcos del rio grande in Quesa -Valencia-) and with the same protagonists, except that on this occasion the spider is much better appreciated (in the previous one it was more camouflaged under the sheet).
The male of Gomphus graslinii would perch intermittently on this innkeeper, controlling one of its territories, while the arachnid moved cautiously under the leaf.
La hembra de Trithemis annulata, si nos remitimos a los colores, no es llamativa en la mayoría de los casos y pasa algo desapercibida.
En este caso el espectacular posadero hizo que le pidiera que aguantara ahí.

The female Trithemis annulata, if we refer to the colors, is not conspicuous in most cases and goes somewhat unnoticed.
In this case, the spectacular innkeeper made him ask him to hold on there.

Whoever enters goes back in time. Furniture as before in all village cafés, flower curtains, a wall with manual coffee grinders, antique KG coffee and Heineken enamel signs on the wall and a cupboard full of antique tins.
Sister Huizinga (65) points to an almost hidden window. "In those years the maid was not allowed to enter the inn. When the brandy ran out, she had to go to the cellar to fill wine. She then knocked at this hidden counter so that the innkeeper could take the wine. It must have been around the beginning of 1900 .
The characteristic building was once a cretan house. Cattle dealer Glastra bought it and turned it into an inn. "The coachmen could sleep here. If a coachman came, the girl was lifted from her bed and the coachman came into a warm bed. She then had to sleep in the hayloft. "

In Friesland is skûtsjesilen (sailing with 14 historical flat bottom boats) one of the Top Event for Dutch tourism. Skûtsjesilen is a synonym for sailing competitions with old freight ships. These flat bottom boats were built at the beginning of the last century for the transportation of peat, manure and other loads to the farms. For this purpose the ships had to sail in shallow waters. That’s why these ships had to be built long and flat. Speed and manoeuvrability is characteristic of a skûtsje and therefore is this type of ship especially suitable for sailing competitions. To anticipate on supply and demand quickly and adapt to changing weather conditions was a daily struggle in those days. In difficult times the skippers mostly sailed on the initiation of the local innkeeper to make some extra money. Then, family and furniture were removed from the skûtsje and left on the shore.
N.B.
All races of all 14 skûtsjes can be directly followed Worldwide on the live stream “You Tube” and the app “Track&Trace”.
Fue llegar a la zona que frecuentaba este macho de Orthetrum brunneum, coloqué este posadero, me vuelvo al sitio donde tenía la cámara sobre el trípode, y al girarme ya estaba allí. ¡Y que bien acompañado! Fue una muy grata sorpresa.
Fotografiado en: Riu Congost. Montmeló. Barcelona. España.
Southern Skimmer, copula.
When I got to the area where this male of Orthetrum brunneum frequented, I placed this innkeeper, I went back to the place where I had the camera on the tripod, and when I turned around it was already there. And how well accompanied! It was a very pleasant surprise.

Uno de los parajes que más visitamos en la rambla de la Puça es su primera cascada, según el sentido del agua. Allí colocamos algunos posaderos (cañas, ramas, etc) para que se posen las libélulas y buscamos fondos algo diferentes aprovechando el agua.
En una de las cañas se poso este ejemplar macho de Orthetrum chrysostigma consiguiendo ese efecto bokeh de fondo de la fotografía.
One of the places that we visit the most in the Rambla de la Puça is its first waterfall, depending on the direction of the water. There we place some innkeepers (reeds, branches, etc) so that the dragonflies perch and we look for somewhat different backgrounds taking advantage of the water.
This male specimen of Orthetrum chrysostigma perched on one of the reeds, achieving that background bokeh effect of the photograph.
Era tal el número de individuos de Ischnura elegans que pululaban en un pequeño espacio de terreno que las cópulas se veían por doquier. Hasta el punto de poder observar varias de ellas en un mismo posadero.
En este caso su disposición me permitió sacarles una buena difinición a los cuatro.
En El Hondo (San Felipe Neri), Alicante, con una muy buena compañía y algún que otro envidiosillo.
Such was the number of individuals of Ischnura elegans that swarmed in a small area of land that copulations were seen everywhere. To the point of being able to observe several of them in the same innkeeper.
In this case, his disposition allowed me to get a good definition from all four.

Este macho de Platycnemis latipes, y algún otro también, me dejo hacerle fotos de cerca. Solo abandonaba el posadero para intentar capturar algún mosquito que merodeaba por la zona.
Ese día volaban gran cantidad de individuos de esta especie en las inmediaciones de Puente Cristinas, Pajaroncillo (Cuenca), a orillas del rio Cabriel.
This male Platycnemis latipes, and some others too, let me take close-up photos. He only left the innkeeper to try to capture a mosquito that was hanging around the area.
That day a large number of individuals of this species were flying in the vicinity of Puente Cristinas, Pajaroncillo (Cuenca), on the banks of the Cabriel river.

Es el mismo macho de Libellula depressa de la foto anterior, solo que en este caso el posadero y el fondo son diferentes.
Le pusimos algunas ramas en las inmediaciones de la balsa y allí se detuvo en varias ocasiones a la espera de la llegada de la hembra.
Hay que estar atento y aprovechar la ocasión.
It is the same male Libellula depressa from the previous photo, only in this case the innkeeper and the background are different.
We put some branches in the vicinity of the raft and it stopped there several times waiting for the arrival of the female.
You have to be vigilant and seize the opportunity.

Estuve vigilando el atractivo posadero por si algún individuo se prestaba a posar y este macho de Orthetrum brunneum me hizo disfrutar.
Hay zonas de tórax y abdomen que están sin pruinar, aún no tienen azul sólido, y eso nos indica que acaba de estrenar el estado de adulto.

I was keeping an eye on the handsome innkeeper in case any individual was willing to pose and this male of Orthetrum brunneum made me enjoy.
There are areas of the thorax and abdomen that are unprinted, they do not yet have solid blue, and that indicates that the adult state has just been released.

En la rambla de Agramón (Albacete) podemos disfrutar de las especies que vuelan por allí.
El posadero que utilizó este macho de Trithemis kirbyi estaba a ras de agua, por lo que hubo que hacer malabares y mojarse un poquito para poderlo fotografiar.
In the watercourse of Agramón (Albacete) we can enjoy the species that fly there.
The innkeeper used by this male Trithemis kirbyi was at water level, so it was necessary to juggle and get a little wet to be able to photograph it.

La más común de nuestras libélulas, la más extendida y una gran migradora, eso es lo que dicen los llibros de este odonato, Sympetrum fonscolombii.
En la foto un ejemplar hembra fotografiado en una rambla próxima a la localidad albaceteña de Agramón, próximo a su desembocadura en el rio Mundo.
Me gustó como incidía la luz oblicua del sol en la parte trasera del animal y su pose en el hinojo medio seco. Posadero solictado por varias especies que volaban por la zona.
The most common of our dragonflies, the most widespread and a great migrant, that is what the books of this odonate, Sympetrum fonscolombii, say.
In the photo, a female specimen photographed on a promenade near the Albacete town of Agramón, near its mouth in the Mundo river.
I liked how the oblique sunlight shone on the back of the animal and its pose on the half-dried fennel. Innkeeper requested by various species that flew through the area.
Este macho de Chalcolestes viridis pendía de este curioso posadero. Una flor seca y marchita que curiosamente presentaba unas diminutas bolas rojas en su parte superior (¿ácaros?).
Fue una agradable sorpresa encontrar esya especie en un humedal de Pinoso (Alicante).
This male of Chalcolestes viridis hung on this curious perch. A dry and withered flower that curiously had tiny red balls on the top (mites?).
It was a pleasant surprise to find this species in a wetland in Pinoso (Alicante).

Christiana Campbell (ca. 1723) was a colonial innkeeper from Williamsburg, Virginia. She started the business herself in an era where it was unusual for women to do so in the colony.] A replica of her tavern was built in Colonial Williamsburg and currently serves as a popular tourist attraction and restaurant.
During this time Williamsburg served as the capitol of the Colony of Virginia and as such, her tavern was often frequented by important political figures of the day. Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were both patrons of the establishment and many members of the House of Burgesses stayed in Campbell's tavern while the General Assembly was in session. Women visited taverns infrequently as these locations were considered inappropriate for ladies. However innkeeping was seen as an acceptable vocation for women during this time period. Wikipedia
Esta mañana iba siguiendo a este macho para fotografiarlo en un buen posadero (se suelen posar en el suelo, encima de piedras) cuando algo lo cazó el vuelo, cayendo los dos al suelo.
Al acercarme pude comprobar que un asílido (mosca asesina) lo había capturado. Luego voló con su presa hasta la rama de una mata donde los pude retratar.
Mi amigo Ricardo me llevó a ver individuos de Onychigomphus costae.
This morning I was following this male to photograph him in a good innkeeper (they usually perch on the ground, on top of stones) when something caught him flying, both falling to the ground.
As I got closer I could see that an aslido (assassin fly) had captured him. Then he flew with his prey to the branch of a bush where I could portray them.
My friend Ricardo took me to see individuals of Onychigomphus costae.
Those beautiful days of July, when the Goldfinches come to sing and give a nice ambient to all the sunsets of the Basque Country. Do you imagine a forest in silence? What would a world be without these beautiful animals? Because of pollution the birds are disappearing and we’re not aware of it. Everyone needs to put their grain of sand to make the birds sing again.
Este joven macho de Trithemis annulata se mostraba muy inquieto en el posadero, cambiando continuamente de pose: unas veces haciendo el obelisco y en otras en horizontal.
El viento dificultaba la fotografía.

This young male of Trithemis annulata was very restless in the innkeeper, continuously changing his pose: sometimes doing the obelisk and sometimes horizontally.
The wind made photography difficult.

En un tramo de la Rambla de Puça, Petrer, donde abunda el baladre (adelfa) y el agua transcurre junto a esa vegetación, vuelan un número considerable de Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis que pelean por conseguir un posadero y alimentarse de pequeños insectos que por allí revolotean. En algunas ocasiones puedes encontrar hasta seis individuos posados en la rama de un junco.
Saliendo de ese rincón y a primera hora de la mañana tienes una interesante luz que te permite determinados contraluces.
In a section of the Rambla de Puça, Petrer, where the ballad (oleander) abounds and the water passes alongside that vegetation, a considerable number of Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis fly, fighting to get an innkeeper and feeding on small insects that flutter there. Sometimes you can find up to six individuals perched on a reed branch.
Leaving that corner and first thing in the morning you have an interesting light that allows you certain backlights.

Podría contar una historia de como hice la imagen y adornarla un poco pero no me sale, cuando trabajo una especie nunca pienso en una imagen en concreto si no que voy innovando según se va dejando la especie, siempre empiezo con lo mas fácil en posadero y ya despues intento mejorar, pero nunca me salto esta regla, agradeceros a todos por los comentarios de mis imágenes anteriores , esta imagen es tal salio de cámara, I could tell a story about how I made the image and decorate it a bit but it doesn't come out, when I work on a species I never think of a specific image if not that I innovate as the species is left behind, I always start with the easiest as an innkeeper and I try to improve later, but I never break this rule, thank you all for the comments of my previous images, this image is such it came out of camera,

Hace tiempo que tenía ganas de fotografiar a este precioso ave, no es difícil hacerle fotos una vez localizado el ave y su zona de pesca.
Aún me queda que trabajar algo más con él, es la segunda sesión que le dedico, en la primera no hubo suerte, y en esta segunda hemos conseguido algo, aunque todavía no lo que quiero. Esta foto esta hecha en un posadero natural al que él le tiene cariño, espero que os guste.
I have wanted to photograph this beautiful bird for a long time, it is not difficult to take pictures once the bird and its fishing area have been located.
I still have to work a little more with him, it is the second session that I dedicate to him, in the first one there was no luck, and in this second one we have achieved something, although not yet what I want. This photo is made in a natural innkeeper that he likes, I hope you like it.
A photo taken after our first snow at Thomas Mitchell Park in Polk County, Iowa. It hasn't been cold enough yet for the ground to freeze or for much ice to form on ponds and lakes.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0. Two photos combined together with the Hugin Panoramic Editor.
Thomas Mitchell was one of Polk County’s earliest Anglo-American settler. He was an innkeeper, a farmer, legislator, sheriff, and an operator of a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Once again wandering the backstreets of a strange town, really there are very few streets to wander in St Goar, there is the main street which is the highway running parallel to the Rhine and the Oberstrasse which runs parallel to this one block back and a network of intersecting short streets linking the two.
Being named after the patron Saint of Innkeepers St Goar is a most hospitable place and most of its economy it focused on the tourists that pass through this little gem.
Sankt Goar is great place to purchase a souvenir beer stein, styling clogs, or a cuckoo clock, in fact it has the largest free standing cuckoo clock in Germany but save your wine purchases for another location though a center for Riesling production it is one of the more expensive areas for the libation.

NAPOLI
Chi ha visto la foto che ho pubblicato ieri sa già dove ci troviamo.
La maschera napoletana del Teatro dell'Arte per antonomasia è Pulcinella. Incarna la plebe napoletana, l'uomo più semplice, quello che nella scala sociale occupa l’ultimo posto, l'uomo che pur conscio dei propri problemi riesce sempre a venirne fuori con un sorriso.
Egli è chiamato a rappresentare l’anima del popolo e i suoi istinti primitivi, appare quasi sempre in contraddizione, tanto da non avere dei tratti fissi: è ricco o povero, si adatta a fare tutti i mestieri oltre al servo fedele eccolo fornaio, oste, contadino, ladro e venditore di intrugli miracolosi, è prepotente o codardo, e talvolta presenta l’uno e l’altro tratto contemporaneamente prendendosi gioco dei potenti.
La qualità che contraddistingue meglio Pulcinella è la sua furbizia, ed è proprio con la sua proverbiale furbizia che egli riesce a trovare la capacità di risolvere i problemi più disparati che gli si parano davanti sempre però in favore dei più deboli a discapito dei potenti.
Altra sua famosa caratteristica è quella di non riuscire mai a stare zitto e da ciò nasce l’espressione “segreto di pulcinella” cioè qualcosa che tutti sanno. (Wikipedia)
Anyone who saw the photo I posted yesterday already knows where we are.
The Neapolitan mask of the Teatro dell'Arte par excellence is Pulcinella. He embodies the Neapolitan plebs, the simplest man, the one who occupies the last place on the social scale, the man who, although aware of his problems, always manages to come out of them with a smile. He is called to represent the soul of the people and its primitive instincts, he almost always appears in contradiction, so much so that he does not have fixed traits: he is rich or poor, he adapts to all trades in addition to being a faithful servant, here he is a baker, innkeeper, farmer, thief and seller of miraculous concoctions, he is bully or cowardly, and sometimes exhibits both traits simultaneously making fun of the powerful. The quality that best distinguishes Pulcinella is his shrewdness, and it is precisely with his proverbial shrewdness that he manages to find the ability to solve the most disparate problems that confront him, always in favor of the weakest at the expense of the powerful. Another of his famous characteristics is that of never being able to shut up and from this comes the expression "secret of Pulcinella" that is something that everyone knows. (Wikipedia)
We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. Shortly after sunset I went up to the light tower to observe the view. Nowadays the light source are powerful LED lights with small individual lenses to focus the light. The light can be seen for 14 nautical miles.
I processed a paintery, a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Contrastes en la Naturaleza
Una vez hubo terminado el plato de "croco", la hembra de Orthetrum trinacria, voló a este posadero donde estuvo un buen rato.
Había que tirarse al suelo para poder fotografiarla y lo hicimos, no podía haber elegido mejor posadero.

We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. From the island you can see the skyline of San Francisco behind the Richmond Bridge.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
