Howth is a small village about 8 miles from Dublin, Ireland, with beautiful coastlines. We had only about 1.5 hours there but managed to get a few good shots.
Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens. Perhaps any image made away from the scene and trying to honestly symbolise the suffering in Gaza must be inadequate. "Let them eat lead" is my attempt to visualise the disregard for Palestinian life that is en vogue among the Israeli government. Terms like "war crimes" and "genocide" are in the air and they undermine the legitimacy of the State of Israel and the very reason for its establishment. Huge damage has been done to the lives of the Palestinians and, concerning the reputation of Israel, a demolition job is going on.
El petirrojo europeo (Erithacus rubecula) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Muscicapidae. Está distribuido por toda Europa, principalmente en la región meridional y occidental del continente, donde habita todo el año, y es migrante parcial en el norte de Europa y noroeste de África.
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a species of passerine bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is distributed throughout Europe, mainly in the southern and western regions of the continent, where it lives all year round, and is a partial migrant in the north of Europe and northwest Africa.
New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism.
For me happiness is when my Happiness is happy. Good equipment, the right light and the thing he saw on Krcedin's island is the reason for his big smile. What he saw you can see on the link.

This is a shrine set in shallow water just south of Isola del Tinetto. South of Porto Venere, Cinque Terre. I couldn’t find out much about this statue but I imagine it is some sort of sea faring shrine.

So just when you're wandering the ruined landscape and to your surprise find an apple tree with hopefully non-polluted apples, you hungrily tuck in...and hear a strange sound from a nearby building. I'm armed with my trusty Tsarknife from FOE, although its seen better days, and I'm sure my Outlander set from Somnium will help me blend in with the treeline. Time to run.

SS 2025 - Ticket Booth (From the Salvage Station hunt)

A large falcon that is endemic to South Asia including parts of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. This is as large as a Peregine Falcon and taller than Saker Falcon, but more leaner unlike the bulky build of Saker Falcon or Peregrine Falcon. We sighted them on two days in action - they were hunting in the area and one of them was fighting with the Saker Falcon. They seem to be quite common in the desert regions and as a fan of falcons was delighted to be sighting them and seeing them in action.
This was sighted in Pokhran, again a desert region. The bird was hunting in the area possibly targeting the many small birds like Pipits, Larks, Crested Larks, Wheatears etc.. There was no dearth of prey. Unfortunately, we didn't see it with any catch though and we were in a rush to see the Indian Bustards, so had to move along.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - very much appreciated.
Prairie hawks, continued...
It is unusual to see a hawk perched on something "natural" in my area, given the countless fence posts and power poles here. But there it was: an adult Swainson's Hawk on a rock. I slowed the rolling red Toyota blind to a stop; it didn't fly away. Nice, soft light. And then it turned its head... just so... looking at me with one eye while looking back over its shoulder with the other.
I continued up the hill, around the bend, down the hill... where I did not find anything especially interesting. So, back up the road, and the hawk was still there. I stopped again; more shots. But the first was the best.

This is a hawk mainly found in eastern North America and through the midwest onto the Great Plains, although some breed in Saskatchewan (north of my location) and into, Alberta and BC. The migration route of these northwestern breeders can bring it through my area, which is where I photographed this juvenile 18 months ago. I've had exactly two photo ops with Broad-winged Hawks, but perhaps that is mainly due to my failure to recognize what I was seeing.
I'm burning the candle at both ends these days - was out shooting the evening light yesterday and now I'm drinking coffee in the dark, waiting for my videographer friend George to get here so we can catch the early light. If there is any. Will get back to commenting when the dust settles...

Here is the image I captured without Sun! However next image shows how it turned out after 45 minutes!
The building in the background is Saffron Square tower is.
Well, it's hard to miss it even if you tried.
The 43-storey tower stands a whopping 134 metres tall and is the borough's second tallest building, behind only 101 George Street, the tallest modular tower in the world.
Saffron Square tower is visible from several miles away and is undoubtedly a distinctive part of Croydon's skyline, mainly due to its purple, shiny appearance.

Wastwater (or Wast Water) is situated in the Wasdale Valley on the western side of the Lake District. This dramatic lake is three miles long, half a mile wide and 260 feet deep. It is the deepest of all of England’s lakes as well as being perhaps the most awe-inspiring. It is surrounded by mountains including Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike, which at 3,209 feet above sea level is the highest in England.

It is really hard to beat this spot in Tremont at any time of year. The trees lean in over the river and form a vaulted canopy. In the fall, that canopy turns gold, yellow, red, and orange. Natures stained glass windows in natures cathedral.

Have a fine day - I'll try to visit your photostreams tonight...

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

blue skies and spring blossoms. The approaching spring fills me with such happiness!!!
This is for the group Parallel Vision~Word of the Week~Happy(~.~)
Now that flickr is working again, I will be doing some catching up! Thanks to all of my wonderful contacts, for all of your encouragement and support. You are all so sweet and inspire me to no end!
Edit~I used this texture from les brumes as well as one from Skeletal Mess.:-)
This is a merged image of 3 sets of HDR. Since the low fog changed rapidly and HDR can present its 3D effect. Lake Kawaguchi Bridge is showing in the fog.
拍攝富士山雲海時，發現HDR比較能呈現雲海立體的感覺，所以拍攝了三組各七張的相片，組合成這張全景，下面若隱若現的是河口湖大橋。

The train is a green Pullman carriage that was armored and weighed 83 tons. Stalin used the train for travel starting in 1941, including trips to the Yalta and Tehran Conferences. Stalin had a phobia about flying so instead he travelled from place to place in the Soviet Union using this train carriage. The train was recovered from the railway yards in Rostov-on-Don in 1985 and is now on display at the Stalin Museum in Gori, Georgia.

It happens only for once and second time is always a compromise made to forgot the first love.
The first love was,is and will be serene...

This is my 23rd photo I've posted from this same laneway. Each one very different from the others. If you're not familiar with Centre Pl, this photo is taken from 5m back inside the adjoining arcade, standing on the 5th step down on a staircase to the basement. I used the entire doorway to the lane like a giant window to this scene in Centre Place. The handrail is a bit annoying but still adds a bit to the character of the lane.
This is the oldest British flyable aircraft.
Built in 1912 by Robert Blackburn, it is the only one of this model constructed.
If you look very carefully, you can just see the engine cylinders, below the propeller shaft, which rotate around the crankshaft in the opposite direction to the propeller, as this is a rotary engine (not to be confused with a radial engine.)
Turns are aided by warping or twisting the wings via cables. Wing warping was invented and patented by the Wright Brothers, who vigorously defended their patents - it is likely that Wilbur, in particular, spent more time in court than he ever spent in the air.
Despite its fragile appearance, the Blackburn type D was capable of 60mph and a flight duration of more than 2 hours.
The aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 1914 and later purchased by Richard Shuttleworth. It was restored to flight in 1947 and can be seen on calm days flying at The Shuttleworth Collection's base of Old Warden.
Rudesheim is situated in the the Rheingau and Rüdesheim Rhine River Gorge winery area.
There are dozens of wine tasting and buying venues in Rudesheim. This is one restaurant, tasting room and wine store in Rudesheim.
The room is the cellar of the hotel Felsenkeller.
There are a total of 380 winemakers in the region marketing their own products. Most are family run companies tending vineyards of between four and eight hectares. There are also three local cooperatives and around two dozen large wine estates (between approx. 10 and 50 hectares). These export a considerable proportion of their production and thus contribute to the fame and reputation of Rheingau Riesling.
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
