King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.
Opening. I will post another shot when it is fully open. It is a very large flower - perfect for drying when it 'Dies'. :)

I spotted this Wood Stork standing in the very top of a large cypress tree while driving through the backroads of the Everglades. They say they are a barometer of the health of the Everglades. They also like to stand tall looking down on the rest.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Day and night versions of Dubrovnik, the night version had to be lower because the Lovrijenac fort where I took the day photo was already closed, and I was standing at the top of the steps in front of the gate to the paid area. It was super windy in both cases. I wonder who will die in tonight's GOT episode.
The snow is falling and the sun sets at 4:30pm - so it seems fitting, at least for today to post a dark image. I had a good time with this crow, we sort of had a moment together. I love this pose, even with the head out of focus. The feathers look like a work of art - perhaps this is why I am so fascinated with birds:)
Have a lovely weekend! And I'm incredibly grateful for your visit:)
Cheers to King Aiko

Your humble King
Looks pretty regal here, even if he has had to get a bit muddy feeding after a downpour.
One of the few shots I took where consditions kindly conspired to provide a very dark background (naturally) but good light on the King Vutlure.
Taken in the Carrivean Foothills, Costa Rica.

From the lounge room we could see a king parrot eating the seeds in the camellia tree. I was lucky enough to be able to sneak outside and get a photo.

Von allen historischen Bahnhöfen Londons hat King’s Cross die schönste Konstruktion – zwei einfache wie elegante Stahl- und Glasgewölbe überdachen die achtgleisigen Hallen.
Im Zuge der Vorbereitungen für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 2012 wurde das Londoner Architekturbüro John McAslan + Partners mit der Sanierung und baulichen Erweiterung der über die Jahre arg verkommenen Station beauftragt.
Weite Bereiche von King`s Cross sind denkmalgeschützt.
In zwei Bauabschnitten wurden die Bahnhofshallen gesäubert und neu verglast, sowie die beiden Western und Eastern Range Buildings behutsam saniert bzw. modernisiert.
Der dritte Bauabschnitt, und Höhepunkt der Baumaßnahmen, ist der Western Concourse mit seinem geschwungenen Stahl- und Glasdach, welches freistehend vor dem historischen Western Range Building neu errichtet wurde.
Unter dem sich bis zu 20 m aufschwingenden halbkreisförmigen Dach, mit einer Spannweite von 52 m und einem Durchmesser von 130 m, befindet sich der neue Bahnhofseingang.
Das – gemäß dem Architekten – größte freitragende Bahnhofsdach Europas zeichnet sich durch eine zentrale weiße Stahlfachwerkstütze aus, die wie bei einem Pilz vertikal emporstrebt und sich dann elegant in die Horizontale auffächert.
Der Außenkranz der circa 1.000 t schweren Dachkonstruktion liegt auf sechzehn Baumstützen, die einzeln je eine Last von 60 t aufnehmen.
