Shortly after draining out from a rock tunnel at Sunday Lake, Planter Creek flows over a small rock ridge to form a small yet sudden drop in a scenic wooded scene. Root Beer Falls is so named because rich brown tannin water creates almost a bubbly froth into the creek’s pool below.

The Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross is a relatively small albatross, with a total length of 71–82 cm and a wingspan of 180–215 cm (1). It is slim; the bill is long and thin, with a comparatively narrow yellow band on the culmen. The Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross breeds on Tristan da Cunha Island, Nightingale Island, Middle Island, Stoltenhoff Island, Gough Island, and Inaccessible Island. The at-sea range includes the South Atlantic Ocean and offshore South Africa, with increasingly common records off the eastern coast of North America.

A robust looking damselfly with a dark greyish abdomen and a blue "tail" in the male. The eyes of the male are deep red and the thorax in both sexes is bronze black on top. The female has short, yellowish ante-humeral lines.
Found in lakes, gravel pits, canals and slow-flowing rivers. The males often sit on water lily leaves defending their leaf from allcomers.
The similar, but smaller, Small Red-eyed Damselfly is sometimes found in the same habitat and careful observation is needed to distinguish the two species. Could be confused with the Blue-tailed Damselflies Ischnura elegans and I. pumilio, but these are smaller less robust looking insects and do not have red eyes.

Baboons are some of the world’s largest monkeys. The baboon, like other Old World monkeys, does not have a prehensile (gripping) tail, but it is still able to climb when necessary.
All baboons have dog–like noses, powerful jaws, sharp canine teeth, and thick fur. The male baboon also has a ruff—a longer mane around its neck.
The Chacma Baboon (Papio ursinus), also known as the Cape baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family.
The Chacma Baboon is perhaps the longest species of monkey, with a male body length of 20–45 in (50–115 cm) and tail length of 18–33 in (45–84 cm). It also one of the heaviest; the male weighs from 46–99 lb (21–45 kg) with an average of 70 lb (31.8 kg). The smaller female Chacma weighs from 26–55 lb (12–25 kg), with an average of 34 lb (15.4 kg).
The chacma baboon is omnivorous with a preference for fruits, while also eating insects, seeds, grass, smaller vertebrate animals, and fungi (the desert truffle Kalaharituber pfeilii). Located primarily in southern Africa, the chacma baboon has a wide variety of social behaviors, including a dominance hierarchy, collective foraging, adoption of young by females, and friendship pairings.

English Counties (05)
This is another collection of images which have been photographed over a long period of time. These are photographs taken mostly on holidays throughout our great English Counties. In the day we have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, with many coastal and country walks and a lot of photography.
This selection has been chosen from the many Cornwall photographs I have taken. Cornwall is a great county to visit with many places of interest and lots of diversity. We enjoyed many a walking holiday here in the day.

The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m and a weight of up to 158 kg, it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world.
Jaguars are the only big cat in the Americas and the third biggest in the world after tigers and lions. They look a lot like leopards, which live in Africa and Asia, but jaguars’ spots are more complex and often have a dot in the center.
These powerful cats were worshipped as gods in many ancient South American cultures, and representations of the jaguar show up in the art and archaeology of pre-Columbian cultures across the jaguar’s range.
Jaguars face a number of threats, including habitat fragmentation and illegal killing. South and Central America’s high rates of deforestation—for grazing land, agriculture, and other uses—have not only destroyed jaguars’ habitat but also broken it up. Fragmented forests mean that cats get boxed into patches of forest and can’t travel far to find new mates. That kind of isolation can lead to inbreeding and local extinctions.
Another threat jaguars face is retaliatory killings from ranchers. As grazing land replaces forests, jaguars are more likely to hunt cattle. In response—and sometimes in anticipation—cattle owners kill jaguars.
Poaching is another growing problem for jaguars. They’ve long been hunted for their pelts, and now there’s a growing illegal, international trade in jaguar teeth and jaguar bone products going to China.
Conservation Status: Near Threatened - in Brazil Threatened.

Built between 1866 and 1883 in the classical Greco-Roman style by architect Joseph Poelaert, this courthouse is the largest building constructed in the West in the 19th century. With a length of 186 m, a width of 177 m and a height of 116 m, the building has a built area of 26,000 m², dominated by a massive dome (24,000 t) that rises to a height of 116 m. Listed as a historical monument since May 3, 2001.
The scaffolding was erected in 1984 for restoration work which, in 2024, is far from complete.

Aswan,
way down south on the Nile
hot as hell
but heavenly beautiful....
The cataracts of the Nile are shallow lengths (or white water rapids) of the Nile River, between Aswan and Khartoum, where the surface of the water is broken by many small boulders and stones protruding out of the river bed, as well as many rocky islets. In some places, these stretches are punctuated by whitewater and are perhaps well characterized as rapids, while at others the water flow is smoother, but still shallow.

The Christmas cactus has amazing blooms, once you can figure out their preference for the temp and angles to sunshine at your window... I may not be able to tell you names of the plants I have, but I do have fun trying to grow as many as possible on my apartment's medium sized window sills... kitchen, livingroom and bedroom, the whole length of the wall... pretty special!
Pilze, und in diesem Fall meine ich in erster Linie die Großpilze, lassen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise in Szene setzen. Man kann sie mit einer längeren Brennweite vom Hintergrund loslösen und so die Aufmerksamkeit ausschließlich auf den Pilz und seine Strukturen und Farben legen. Man kann aber auch mit einer kürzeren Brennweite den Pilz in seinem Waldumfeld abbilden. Nun spielt er zwar immer noch die Hauptrolle, ist aber Teil einer Gesamtkomposition geworden. Letzteres habe ich mit dieser Aufnahme versucht. Zum Einsatz kam eine 22mm Festbrennweite, die am Canon APS-C Sensor 35mm KB entspricht.
Mushrooms, and in this case I primarily mean large mushrooms, can be presented in different ways. You can separate them from the background with a longer focal length and thus focus exclusively on the mushroom and its structures and colors. But you can also use a shorter focal length to image the mushroom in its forest environment. Now he still plays the main role, but has become part of an overall composition. I tried the latter with this recording. A 22mm fixed focal length was used, which corresponds to 35mm KB on the Canon APS-C sensor.
