La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Black Phoebe lives in a variety of habitats but is always near water. It is mainly insectivorous, and waits on a perch before flying out and catching its prey in the air. The sexes are identical in color, and juveniles have brown feather tips.
Subspecies "angustirostris" is found in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Also called "White-winged Phoebe" because it has more white in the wings than the northern subspecies.

I find peoples photos interesting not always because they look great but because of what one finds lurking around .
Here we have an ok photo of me with a leftover Halloween ghost on the dresser a tennis ball on the floor in the living and a spirit level on the shelf above by head and now doubt some other out of place stuff as well

After a stormy day on Monday. On Tuesday morning, St Mark Square was flooded from the rain. The building and tourists were clearly reflected on the water and lot of tourists enjoying themselves with this clear calm water in the square. Three hours later all the water totally disappeared from the square.

Taken tonight on my street using a 10 second timer my camera sat on an empty tissue box on the pavement or for my American friends, the sidewalk!
Got a few funny looks from dog walkers and joggers!

I have always wanted the opportunity to photograph birds at the water level. At Westhay I was in the right place with perfect lighting to give it a go. This pair of Great Crested Grebes were the ideal subjects.

A composition in steel by local sculptor David Jensz at this year's Sculpture by the Sea. Unexcitedly titled, 'Level', according to the blurb it's a statement on anticipated sea level rise (it might be rusted by then).
Well nearly anyway. Roxy is very good at sitting still, but this was a challenge. The mini-level is just a round barrel so any movement would cause it to roll off. This is as good as I could get as she was tiring of my instructions. Bless.

A minor level crossing near Worsbrough on the Worsbrough branch, that linked Wath with Barnsley Junction at Penistone, that was once part of the 1500DC Woodhead system.
This section of the Woodhead route closed to all traffic just after 1pm on 17th July 1981, after the passage of the Wath branch bankers which were 76012 and 76007.
The Worsbrough branch now forms the 9 mile Dove Valley Trail that runs from Silkstone Common towards Wombwell passing through Dodworth and Worsborough and forms part of the National Trans Pennine Trail.

Denton Village Crossing is one of the many and varied crossings on the former NER route between Carlisle and Newcastle. This one – pictured looking east in February 2009 - had a crossing keeper with manually controlled gates and a ground frame with semaphore stop and distant signals.
The signals were normally in the off position with gates closed to road traffic but I was fortunate to capture them at danger while a car crosses. The signals were removed just a few months after this picture was taken as part of the area’s re-signalling project, based on the new signalling centre at Low Row, however the gate keeper was retained.
The signal post on the left (for the up direction) is slightly unusual (though similar to one at Low Row). It’s constructed of a welded steel frame stem surmounted by a tubular post, surprisingly - in this exposed location - not in need of any “guy ropes”. To the right of the image, the down signal looks like it has an original NER square wooden post but that is tethered by three stabilising wires.
Commentary.
08:00, my son, James, and I left base-camp at Glen Brittle beach.
Ninety minutes in and the gentle foothills are behind us.
As we stare into Coire Lagan, Sgurr Alasdair looks awesome, impenetrable, and unclimbable.
As we summit the corrie’s smooth-rocked, ice-scoured lip to the corrie lake the basalt and gabbro wall of rock shows a thin grey streak of ice-shattered scree.
The two thousand foot, “Great Stone Shoot,” gives a narrow but climbable rocky desert.
Three hours in and we reach the col at the base of the summit.
One final scramble and this view south welcomes us at 11:22.
On top of the world, level with powder-puff clouds we peer down on a balmy Hebridean Sea, Rum, Soay, Rubha an Dunain peninsula, Loch Brittle and the beach campsite.
Further on the horizon the southern end of the Outer Hebrides, as far as Barra, can be seen, over fifty miles distant.
How this feels like a God-like throne –
Shared by us
– mere mortals.

Poem.
A seat with the Gods.
Brush the clouds.
Touch the sky.
Nigh on one thousand metres up on precipitous ridges of gabbro, basalt and bands of quartz.
On the serrated, pinnacled, fragmented remnant ridge
of a long-time extinct and exploded super-volcano.
Having clambered past the Fairy Pools,
The Cioch, Coire Lagan, the Inaccessible Pinnacle and two thousand foot of sharp, shattered scree making up the Great Stone Chute and the final summit arête, this is the view southwards.
To stand here.
And see this.
It is surreal.
Spiritual.
An honour.
A privilege.
A sight that relatively few have seen.
But those that have seen it, will not forget.
To see for 80-100 miles in all directions.
To see Ben Nevis, An Teallach,
Ben More on Mull,
Canna, Rum, Eigg, Muck and Soay.
And to see a large part of the incredible Isle of Skye, itself,
and the Outer Hebrides.
It is too much to take in, too much to believe.
I shall have to return and confirm that it was real,
not, merely, a wonderful dream!
The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High Level Bridge, was constructed between 1907–1909 at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada at a cost of $1,334,525.
This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer J. E. Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada. It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.
I couldn't wait to see this bridge, my inspiration was one of my contact's photo's, I did my best, waiting for quite some time for the sun to set and getting bitten to pieces in the process, but if you want to see what I consider the very best, please check out Larsthrows images:

I have one more shot of this bridge (a daytime version to come).
Explored 20.10.08...I think! No number though must have gone in and out like a rocket while I was sleeping!!
