)MYANMAR ,Burma - Old-Bagan, Sonnenuntergang mit Blick von der imposanten Shwesandaw-Pagode(Tempel
)Die Stufenpyramide hat fünf quadratische Terrassen, dann zwei achteckige Zwischenstufen und schließlich den klassischen zylindrischen Stupa-Aufbau mit Glocke, Turban, doppeltem Lotus, Bananenknospe und Hti. An den vier Seiten führen bis zur fünften Terrasse Treppen hinauf. Früher dienten sie den Gläubigen, damit sie die inzwischen verschwundenen Terrakotta-Platten mit Szenen aus den Jatakas auf den einzelnen Terrassen erreichen konnten; heutzutage steigen Touristen hinauf, um den Sonnenuntergang zu bewundern.
The step pyramid has five square terraces, then two octagonal intermediate steps and finally the classic cylindrical stupa structure with bell, turban, double lotus, banana bud and hti. Stairs lead up to the fifth terrace on the four sides. They used to serve the faithful so that they could reach the terracotta slabs with scenes from the Jatakas on the individual terraces, which have since disappeared; nowadays tourists go up to admire the sunset.

Always such a photogenic bird - this was taken at the end of the day when the light picked out this white Intermediate Egret against the dark background
With the wind ruffling the feathers - this one is in full breeding colours and plumage.

The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.

An extension ring extends the distance between your lens and the camera sensor. This reduces the minimum focus distance and allows you to focus closer to your subject. This allows you to depict your subject larger than if you had used the lens without extension rings. www.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/tussenringen-interessant-vo....
The intermediate egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. Two to five eggs are laid, the clutch size varying with region.

The Intermediate Egret has similar features with the Great Egret. They differ though as follows:
a. The Intermediate Egret is smaller than the Great Egret.
b. The gape underneath the eyes end at the rear of the eyes.
c. Does not have the large kink in the throat of the Great Egret.
The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.

Intermediate by name this species is half way in size between a Little Egret and the Great White. Taken in isolation when no size comparison is possible it can be separated by the lack of head plumes (Little) and the shorter neck (very long in Great White). The clincher is in the gape which extends well past the eye in the Great White. This one was easy as it is in breeding condition with the orange bill and greenish facial skin
Still standing, two pairs of US&S H2's act as intermediates at Mile 44.7 of Canadian National's Halton Sub. The R plate beside the single aspect upgrades the stop and proceed indication to a restricting to allow trains to pass the signal without stopping when following other trains.

MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO - 17 [ This series is dedicated to my elder brother HGM ]
PLEASE VIEW AT MAXIMUM TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF IT
This is the image of a series called " MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO ". This zoo is very unfriendly for the Photographers. Most of the animals and birds are kept in thick netting [sometimes multiple] with iron bars and Railings to keep the on lookers away from the cage. So the scope of Photography is very limited here. One has to use a telephoto lens above 400 mm to zoom out those bars and nettings to obtain an uninterrupted image of the display. This can be done only when the subject remains in a particular distance from the cage nettings.
