Looking up as these magnificent creatures fly overhead is a thrill.

Catching up with 2018...though there is no time remaining on the meter...2019 arrived as predicted...I did not.

The story is jumbled...sorry.

 

The 2018 Fall Colors looked bleak through the month of October...an insanely wet summer and temperature deviations caused the colors to be mostly muted...then on the first weekend of November, the colors finally broke through...literally changing overnight. While it was a sight to behold, the Winds decided to pay a visit that weekend...but peak is peak...so I went out and immersed myself in the chaos of color dancing with the wind.

 

This is the second fall series. I took these in the morning...the Sun was glorious...the wind ever present...the results...well, you decide.

Hexham Bridge is a road bridge in Northumberland, England linking Hexham with the North Tyne valley. It lies north of the town of Hexham and is the main access to the A69 bypass.

 

The Tyne was crossed by two ferries called the east and the west boats. As a result of persistent agitation, a bridge was started in 1767 and completed in 1770. It was built by Mr Galt and consisted of seven arches. Less than a year later it was swept away in the great Tyne flood of 1771. In that flood, eight bridges shared the fate of Hexham. In 1774 a new attempt was made 46 metres to the west by Mr Wooler, an engineer who had been working on the new Newcastle bridge. Piles were sunk to carry the piers but work was abandoned on discovering that the "soil beneath the gravel was a quicksand with no more resistance than chaff". This first bridge, Hexham Old Bridge, was about 2 km upstream of the present bridge.

 

The authorities next approached John Smeaton, whose name as an engineer was famous. Henry Errington of Sandhoe was given the contract for the sum of £4,700, and work started in 1777. Although the half-completed piers were washed away the following year, work continued and the new bridge was opened to traffic in 1780. The Newcastle Chronicle, Saturday 8th July 1780 had "Saturday last, the passage along the New Bridge over Tyne at Hexham was opened, the Most Noble Errington was the first that passed it, who made a handsome present to the workmen." However, on 10 March 1782, there was a heavy fall of snow followed by a violent hurricane. The valleys of the north and south Tyne were inundated and the nine arches were completely overturned. They are still visible and act as a sort of weir. Robert Mylne, a famous architect and engineer, was called in to report on the feasibility of rebuilding Smeaton's bridge. He was eventually given the contract to build a fourth bridge, and the work was completed in 1793. It is listed as a Grade II* building by Historic England.

A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.

The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!

In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.

It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.

This is the first Christmas present I wrapped! I'm mailing this off to little Jasmine (it is one of those delicious cured dog bones which I think she'll really really like!) Wrapping presents is a lot of fun! Tonight, I will wrap some more doggy presents that are going to be mailed, and I can't wait.

 

Thank you very much Flickr EXPLORE!

Sometimes simple is better.

Super frustrated with this long blade-like leaf not able retain the water droplets and not able to keep them as perfect round spheres. I would have it all set and then the droplets would shift and morph into each other and change right as I was about to start shooting.. And that's after a lot of other setup work had been done. I think the upper part of the leaf must have just gotten saturated with too much water and lost its ability to hold a ball of water the way I wanted it to.

 

But then sometimes it just works. Something very simple and plain is often better. Still working to understand the how and why of the way this works. Its science, but it can also be pretty!

Few days ago had reliased the third episode of Life is Strange 2. I really love this game and decided to build a little scene from it.

This is One of those Cliche shot, that almost Every Photographer takes. So I took the Liberty and ... here it is. Felt like Uploading.

Frankfurt is one of the few European cities with a large cluster of high rise building in its downtown area; in many other European cities, skyscraper construction was not well received in the past due to the historical value of existing buildings. For this reason, Frankfurt is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" (a portmanteau of the local Main river and Manhattan), and Chicago am Main.

Klamath is an unincorporated, rural, census-designated place (CDP) in Del Norte County, California, situated on US Route 101 inland from the mouth of the Klamath River. The original "town" center was destroyed by the 1964 Flood. Considered a 100-year flood, it was the worst flood in recorded history on nearly every major stream and river in coastal Northern California.

This is a early morning shot which was taken just past mile marker 19 in the Yakima River Canyon. It is a stitch of 12 vertical images shot with a Rokinon 14mm on a Sony A5100. I took about an hour to climb the steep slope to this location which we shared with a few Big Horn Sheep.

This is the first winter that I have had Common Redpolls visit my feeders in the backyard. Since the weather is getting warmer, they will soon be returning to their summer homes far north.

I am posting the only photo that I was able to get of one in the sunshine.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

I love not Man the less, but Nature more,

From these our interviews, in which I steal

From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel

What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal."

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.

Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.

 

The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.

The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning

 

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.

Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

 

The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.

 

The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world

The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.

 

Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.

 

Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.

 

About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.

 

It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.

 

The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.

 

The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. The winding coast runs along pretty blonde bays overlooking the royal blue Adriatic Sea, ancient Venetian villages and UNESCO-walled towns. Podgorica is the capital city of Montenegro. Its rivers and bridges include the modern Millennium Bridge over the Morača River, and the stone bridge spanning the Ribnica River. The centuries-old Clock Tower, built by the Turks, dominates the old town.

 

Cetinje used to be the capital of Montenegro, but in 1946 it became Podgorica. The city was then called by a different name, namely Titograd, named after the Yugoslav president Tito, who died in 1980. In 1992 it was renamed Podgorica. Characteristic are the modern buildings, green parks, but also the large gray streets and buildings. The "new cathedral" Hristovog Vaskrsenja cathedral (as it is known in Podgorica) is great to visit. Built between 1993 and 2013, this must be one of the most spectacular cathedrals built in the last century. The large dome, the large towers with white stones and golden crosses of this immense new Serbian Orthodox cathedral are amazing. The inside with many frescoes is also impressive to see. The large central dome with supporting semi-domes is a sight to behold. The large chandeliers; the wall-to-wall murals and the beautiful marble floor. The cathedral has only been open since 2014. The interiors are enriched with iconography. The artistic decoration inside will blow your minds. Since the cathedral is quite new, the details are bright and clear. The locals are sometimes a bit disdainful of the cathedral - they prefer the really old churches with a lot of history - but the interior is beautiful.

 

Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Voorheen was Cetinje de hoofdstad van Montenegro, maar in 1946 werd dit Podgorica. De stad heette toen nog anders, namelijk Titograd, vernoemd naar de in 1980 overleden Joegoslavische president Tito. In 1992 kreeg het de naam Podgorica. Kenmerkend zijn de moderne gebouwen, groene parken maar ook de grote grauwe straten en gebouwen. De nieuwe kathedraal Hristovog Vaskrsenja kathedraal (zoals die in Podgorica bekend staat) is geweldig om te bezoeken. Gebouwd tussen 1993 en 2013 moet dit één van de meest spectaculaire kathedralen zijn die in de vorige eeuw zijn gebouwd. De grote koepel, de grote torens met witte stenen en gouden kruizen van deze immense nieuwe Servische Orthodoxe kathedraal zijn waanzinnig. Ook de binnenkant met vele fresco’s zijn indrukwekkend om te zien. De grote centrale koepel met ondersteunende halve koepels is een lust voor het oog. De grote kroonluchters; de muurschilderingen van muur tot muur en de prachtige marmeren vloer. De kathedraal is pas geopend sinds 2014. De interieurs zijn verrijkt met iconografie, de artistieke decoratie binnen zal je verbazen. Omdat de kathedraal vrij nieuw is, zijn de details helder en duidelijk. De lokale bevolking is soms een beetje minachtend voor de kathedraal - ze geven de voorkeur aan de echt oude kerken met veel geschiedenis - maar het interieur is prachtig.

A zombie is a creature that appears in folklore and popular culture typically as a reanimated corpse or a mindless human being. Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou, which told of the people being controlled as laborers by a powerful sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.

Reykjanesviti is Iceland's oldest lighthouse. The original structure was built in 1878; just eight years later the building was destroyed by an earthquake so 1907 it was rebuilt on a different location where it still stands today.

This week I went out for a pre-rain shoot with dramatic clouds. I was lucky on this field of wheat. In the background you can spot a few characteristic elements of the Deventer skyline (Bolwerksmolen, Lebuinuskerk & Wilhelminabrug).

The horned puffin (Fratercula corniculata) is an auk, similar in appearance to the Atlantic puffin; this bird's bill is yellow at the base and red at the tip. It is a pelagic seabird that feeds primarily by diving for fish. It nests in colonies, often with other auks.

 

The yellow bill plate grows before the breeding season and is shed later. They have a small fleshy black "horn" above their eyes. They have a white face with a dark line extending from the back of the eye and red feet.

 

This species breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Siberia, Alaska and British Columbia, in burrows, in rocky cavities or among rocks. It winters far out to sea. Feeding areas are usually located fairly far offshore from the nest. There is usually one chick and both parents feed the young.

 

Horned puffins will return from hunting with several small fish in their beaks. They also eat squid and crustaceans.

 

The population of these birds has declined due to the introduction of rats onto some islands used for nesting.

 

These Puffins were seen near Seward in Alaska.

Photographing Bee is a big challenge in photography.

 

I found this bee on the pink dahlia, my 1st impression is that this bee either sick or tire hiding in the petal that without pollens. then I attempt to move it. A soon as I use the stick to move this Bee, It began to move.

 

Then I found that the bee eyes are with pollens instead of the legs. I think this bee must be wounded otherwise the eyes would not be having pollens.

 

I am happy that at least I save one life. & This is a great shot.

 

Thanks for your view, comments & fave.

 

I appreciate it.

The topknot pigeon (Lopholaimus antarcticus) is a pigeon native to eastern Australia. The topknot pigeon is a large predominately slate-grey bird, 40–46 centimetres (16–18 in) in length. The back, coverts and upper secondaries are a darker slate-grey with black quills. The primaries are black, the remaining body in a lighter slate-grey in colour. The chest and hind neck are notched, showing dark bases giving a streaked appearance. The tail is black crossed with a board grey band. The crest is grey from the cere to the forehead, and russet brown on the crown with black sides. The mandibles are red with a brown tip, the protuberances at the base of the mandibles are bluish-green. The tarsals and feet are purplish red. The sexes are similar in description. However, Males have larger crest and lack some of the streaking on the chest. Juveniles are like females but the chest is mottled not streaked, the crest is smaller, with the cere and forehead being light brown, the crown grey. Tarsals and feet are reddish brown. The iris is yellow-golden with a bright red outer band. In fledglings the iris is brown.

Found from the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland to the central south coast of New South Wales. These pigeons cover great distances in search of fruit bearing trees suddenly appearing in areas where they have not been seen for many years and will occasionally move beyond their normal southern range limit, into eastern Victoria. The topknot pigeon has a solely frugivorous diet which varies throughout its range as fruit ripen at different times during the year. This includes various species of Ficus and other rainforest fruit trees. R_29948

Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church in central Bologna; it is located near the Two Towers, adjacent to the Strada Maggiore.

A church at the site dedicated to St Bartholemew had existed since the 5th century; it was likely built atop an even older church and housed Benedictine monks till the 16th century. The church was designed by Giovanni Battista Falcetti with elaboration by Agostino Barelli, and owes the awkward facade due to its construction in 1517 at the site of a palace begun by Andrea da Formigine, commissioned by a member of the Gozzadini. The project, which is seen in the single-story portico along the exterior, was interrupted after the death of the patron, soon after completion of what became the side portico.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santi_Bartolomeo_e_Gaetano

 

La iglesia de Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano, de estilo renacentista y de confesión católica romana, se encuentra en el centro de Bolonia, cerca de las Dos Torres, junto a la Strada Maggiore.

En este mismo lugar existía una iglesia dedicada a San Bartolomé desde el siglo V; probablemente se construyó sobre una iglesia aún más antigua y albergó monjes benedictinos hasta el siglo XVI. La iglesia fue diseñada por Giovanni Battista Falcetti, con detalles de Agostino Barelli, y su peculiar fachada se debe a su construcción en 1517 sobre el emplazamiento de un palacio iniciado por Andrea da Formigine, por encargo de un miembro de la familia Gozzadini. El proyecto, que se aprecia en el pórtico de una sola planta del exterior, se interrumpió tras la muerte del mecenas, poco después de finalizar lo que se convertiría en el pórtico lateral.
