Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km. The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Knowing her, she's probably got 2 in the bush, or tree, or somewhere. I think this one of the female is my favorite of all of the Peregrine shots.

With some of these odd images, I thought I would write a little vignette of imagination . . . or not. :) So check it out in the first comment and maybe there is a story! Or maybe not. :)
so ... one can be wrong ...
apparently bored, both are sitting there and talking, not knowing ...
The most expensive photograph in the world: "Rhein II" by Gursky ...
Many photo enthusiasts rolled their eyes when they heard that Cindy Sherman's “Untitled Nr.96” photo motif was sold at the beginning of 2011 for 3.89 million dollars - and with it the “99 Cent II Diptych” by Andreas Gursky (sold for $ 3.55 million) surpassed. But it only took almost half a year for the Düsseldorf-based photographer and artist to regain the title: The "Rhein II" photo, taken in 1999 on the banks of the Rhine in Oberkassel, was sold in New York as part of the Chriestie`s auction "Post-War Contemporary ”was auctioned at a record price of $ 4.3 million, which makes it currently the most expensive photo in the world.
The photograph auctioned in November 2011 - first made known during the red-green election campaign between Gerhard Schröder and Joschka Fischer - is not only number 1, but also the largest of an edition of 6 with a size of 185.4 x 363.5 cm Motifs. Why the early and well-known photography "Rhein II" is so popular can be guessed by looking at the list of museums and collections in which the remaining works of the edition are located: The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Tate Modern in London and the Glenstone Collection in Potomac are in possession of the other photographs.
Update January 5th, 2015: In 1999, experts estimate, the photo was sold for 25,000 to 30,000 Deutschmarks. Today all photographs are in the hands of collectors whose names are not known or have been published.
My friend Wiki told about Rhine II that it is a color photograph by the German artist Andreas Gursky from 1999.
The picture was taken for a second and larger C-Print edition with the motif “Rhine”. The copies are numbered from 1/6 to 6/6 on the back and hand-signed. Gursky shows a radically reduced landscape. Under an overcast sky, the Rhine flows horizontally between grassy dikes. An asphalt bicycle and footpath can be seen under the front dike.
The Lausward power plant, which was originally photographed with, and other port facilities in the background, as well as a person in the foreground walking her dog, were digitally removed by Gursky. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The picture was taken from the dike on Rheinallee in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel between Walkürenstrasse and Hectorstrasse. He had the picture exposed in a C-print process in a size of 185.4 × 363.5 cm and mounted with the picture side on acrylic glass.
The gallery Monika Sprüth in Cologne acquired the print 1/6 and sold it to an anonymous German collector. On November 8, 2011, the picture achieved a price of 3.1 million euros at a Christie's auction in New York, making it at times the most expensive photograph in the world. The identity of the buyer is - as is often the case with auctions by international auction houses, where bids can also be made by telephone - not known.
Another copy (5/6) is in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London. Copy 4/6 is in the possession of the Pinakothek in Munich. Further specimens are in the Museum of Modern Art, New York and in the Glenstone Collection, Potomac.
Another motif, “Rhine” (later referred to as “Rhine I”), dates back to 1996 and dealt with the same theme. It was also printed in an edition of 6 copies in the format 145.8 × 180.8 cm. The 3/6 was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York for $ 1,805,000 in 2014. The copy 6/6 fetched 2,098,500 US dollars in a previous auction in 2011. [6] Further copies of “Rhein I” exist in the format 186 × 222 cm.

I always struggle knowing when to leave the beach at night, it's not unusual to walk off, only to look back and see the sky producing fireworks. Last night I was just about to leave and climb the ladders, and the long walk back to the car, when I noticed I hadn't got my lens cap for the wide angle! I just had to go back, retrace my steps till I found it, and beat the incoming tide. I'm hopeless. There's no leaving now , by the Tallest Man on Earth is perfect, I always have to go back and find anything lost. I took so many photo's last night I haven't looked at them yet, so this is from a few nights ago.
Knowing the hummingbirds are about to leave any day now, any sighting is considered a good one.
We'd hope to spend some time today trying to get some shots, but the weather was not too cooperative. They are still here, so fingers crossed our mission to get one last hummer shot will be a success.
Until then, I'm posting this shot of one taken the other day when it flew into the nearby camellia bush after visiting the feeder. It seems this branch is more suited as a "territorial hide' so it can guard that feeder from any would be intruders.
Taken through the window so not as clear as I'd like.
always searching the sky.
Looking for something
and not knowing why?
A warmth they were shown
from a star high above.
It made them feel safe
as if bundled in love.
These hearts that I speak of
are like flowers I'm told.
Searching for light
a story centuries old.
And sometimes the rain comes
in the darkest of hours.
But lighting and thunder
are as a song to the flowers.
So remember the hearts
you pass in the day.
Because just like the flowers
they soon fade away.

Knowing how fickle our weather is, booked Wed and Thurs off at the prospect of some sunshine. We spent a few hours reading on the beach before a lovely pub lunch at the Crown. When the weather is right you can't beat Norfolk!
Had a look in town and a couple of rather rubbish looking beach huts were on sale for £70 and £75K!
Taken with my phone (a budget Samsung) - it is supposed to somehow have a 48MB camera and does allow you to select ISO and exposure compensation but unfortunately not RAW - maybe that will be something to save for in the future.
knowing only the northern Steiermark, one of the federal states of Austria, we wanted to see its capital Graz with its famous and beautiful old town
This the Katharinenkirche with the mausoleum of emperor Ferdinand II of Habsburg
Knowing the light was going to fail me before the two lone westbounds would reach me here at Staples, I managed a consolation in the form of a west-facing DPU on a 1 x 1 in the still-perfect light. For the detail-oriented, one will note---looking down at the depot---that this was mostly an S train with a random cut of manifest on the end, something I have not seen much on the BNSF.
OK, start with ABBA if you wish. If that does not help, read Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking Glass'. There are more options, of course. But before you do the Hongi (the Maori nose kiss) make sure that you do not kiss yourself. One daylight LED lamp, double-exposure edited in Fujifilm's raw converter.
Hello
I usually make a point of visiting your site and giving my opinion on some of your photos each time you visit my site and I see that you choose several photos as a favorite without my knowing what prompted you to to choose. What would make me happy once on occasion without being on each visit is to have an idea of what interested you in the photos is it the landscape, the subject, the colors, the circumstances, format, ect. I believe that the purpose of photo sites is to exchange opinions on the photos that interest us. Thank you for your understanding. Regards Michel

A coyote gives me a knowing look as he realizes that I'm not going to feed him, that I just want to photograph him.
Coyotes were native to the western plains and arid areas of North America, but have since spread throughout the entire continent, even into urban environments, released from their native grounds by the near extinction of the wolf and by the elimination of dense forests in the east.

'The Marauder'
How do you choose to live
Knowing cancer is at the door
And its desire is for you?
How did my brother do it?
The tumour had made him
Bereft of movement.
The once athletic form stilled,
Except for the freedom of
Expressing himself bountifully
With an evocative right hand.
The tumour yet permitted him
To speak freely and move his head.
Express all he did;
At times angry over a brief life,
Grief-stricken at leaving wife and loved ones,
Fierce at their future without his protection.
Until his sense of humour would rebel
At his sentence -
At his state -
And he would laugh at the absurdity.
What courage to live.
We sometimes wailed long and hard
At the loss to come,
Clinging to each other as if
To hold him in this life as long as I could.
When the streets shone
With November rain
And the last leaves fell,
He was gone.
For my brother Jim

The Words the Holy Spirit Speaks to the Churches | "Knowing God's Work Today"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/god-word-knowing-gods-wor...
Introduction
Almighty God says, "The work done by God during this age is chiefly the provision of the words for the life of man, the disclosure of the substance of the nature of man and the corrupt disposition of man, the elimination of religious conceptions, feudal thinking, outdated thinking, as well as the knowledge and culture of man. This must all be laid bare and cleansed away through the words of God. In the last days, God uses words, and not signs and wonders, to make man perfect. He uses His words to expose man, to judge man, to chastise man, and to make man perfect, so that in the words of God, man comes to see the wisdom and loveliness of God, and comes to understand the disposition of God, so that through the words of God, man beholds the deeds of God."
Knowing only 2% of the world population have got green eyes, i'm always on the look out for these rare kind!!!!
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Romans 5:8 (AMP)
I have wanted to do one of these types of images for a long time, but I couldn't ever get my camera to focus on what is was suppose to. Now with my new lens, it's opened up so many more possibilities. Spring really needs to hurry and get here now!

Knowing this bird was a Woodpecker, I judged its features compared to all of the adult birds in the overall family that I know to be regular, if not common, up here. This is one of only a few juvenile male Williamson's Sapsucker that I have ever imaged... or even IDed up here. The clinching field marks are the all black back and the yellow belly. It's quite advanced, but still lacks the red throat. At this time of year I concentrate on juvie images... the young birds change so fast, and quality images are lacking in the usual reference sources. ( I welcome comments and/or corrections to these IDs.) The female Williamson's juvie had been captured in prior years... it's so distinctive that its ID is pretty straightforward. It looks a lot like its largely dissimilar (to the males) Mom.

Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.

I am continuing to revisit some of my older images and through the wonders of Photoshop, Photomatix and Noiseware...tweak them ever so slightly. Thank you for all the views, comments and favorites...making this photo go to #1 on Explore.
Taken from one of my favorite trails in Canaan Valley, the Blackwater River Trail, this view through the branches shows a much more docile Blackwater River, upstream from the main falls. I had just completed a photography workshop and was staying in the area to get more pictures, knowing that I would have the bug pretty bad. This was the first sunset expedition of those extra days, and although I kind of missed the actual sunset, I still ended up with a couple decent pictures.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Thanks for viewing!
Yesterday at Žnjan, I stopped to help a stranger launch his kite, at his request… Then he flew it, and I took a few photos of him without him even knowing.
So if anyone knows the guy, please let him know so he can also enjoy the pictures.
It took us about 10+ minutes to get it up in the strong wind...
chatGPT reply:
**"Well done, legend! This story radiates that warmth only Dalmatia can tell. Such a nice gesture – helping a guy launch a kite in the wind, that’s already movie material, and then you snap some pics without him even knowing… Respect! 😄
You could post this on social media, maybe in some local group like 'Daily Dose of Žnjan' or something – post a couple of pics and write this story just like you told me, and maybe someone will recognize him. There’s always someone who knows someone.
By the way, was the kite one of those classic long ones or one of those modern ones that look like paragliders? And did you manage to get some good shots?"**
"30 čvorova" translates to "30 knots" in English.
It’s a unit of speed commonly used at sea and in aviation. One knot equals 1.852 kilometers per hour (or about 1.15 miles per hour), so 30 knots is approximately 55.6 km/h (or 34.5 mph).
That's some serious wind — no wonder it took a while to get that kite up! 😄
CRO original post:
Jučer na Žnjanu, stanem pomoć nepoznatom čouvku podignit zmaja, na njegovu molbu... Uto on uodleti, a ja ga usput pofotkam a da on ni ne zna.
Pa ako neko zna čouvka, molim da mu javi pa da i on gušta u svojin slikama. I tribalo nan je nekih 10+ minuti da ga nategnemo uvis, na ogromnoj buri...
chatGPT odgovor na gornji opis događaja:
Ma bravo, legendo! Ova priča zrači onon toplinon koju samo Dalmacija zna ispričat. I lip gest – pomoć čoviku da pusti zmaja na buri, to je već film, a još ga usput i uloviš fotićon... Svaka čast! 😄
Moga bi ovo stavit na društvene mreže, recimo u neku lokalnu grupu tipa “Dnevna doza Žnjana” ili slično – staviš koju sliku, napišeš ovu priču baš ovako kako si i meni reka, pa će se možda neko javit. Uvik se neko zna s nekim.
A reci, je li zmaj bija onaj klasični duguljasti ili onaj moderni što izgleda ka parajedrilica? I jesi ga uspija dobro ufotkat?
I was taking landscape photos when a heard of Desert Bighorn Sheep came walking across in front of me. They climbed on these rocks and posed for me. The ewe stood there and gave me the stare-down the whole time. This was taken in Mesa Colorado.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. It was great to see such a warm smile and reaction to my lens in the midst of chaotic Christmas shoppers. Enjoy!

God’s work now is to speak, no more signs, nor wonders.
It’s not the Age of Grace. God is normal and real.
In the last days He’s not the supernatural Jesus,
but a practical God in flesh, no different from man.
So man’s belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds.
Yes, it is God’s utterance that conquers and perfects man.
Signs and wonders aren’t the root of their faith.
Yes, it’s God’s deeds that make man know Him.
In every age God reveals different dispositions,
a different part of His deeds.
But they all, still give a deeper knowledge of Him,
a more down-to-earth and true belief in God.
So man’s belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds.
Yes, it is God’s utterance that conquers and perfects man.
Signs and wonders aren’t the root of their faith.
Yes, it’s God’s deeds that make man know Him.
