Clamator glandarius, el CrĂalo europeo, despegĂł al ver como nos acercabamos. Esta vez estaba peinado y no con la moña revuelta como es habitual verlos.
Looking in to the bay from the Golden Gate Bridge as the fog swirls and rises on a cold winter morning. Look closely on the right side and a boat can be seen. At the right edge is Alcatraz Island.

Sometimes, seeking refuge in the darkness doesn't mean you're lost.
Sometimes, you simply need to stand behind the curtain of a waterfall,
where the sound of falling water gives meaning to silence,
and every drop gently washes away the dust from your mind.
Then, all you have to do is lift your head...
The sky has been there all along— bright, peaceful, and endless.
Close to the parking lot for the hike to Teapot mountain is this former lift station for transporting ore down to the processing plant. It was built during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan.

The aerial lift bridge at Duluth, Minnesota, USA looking east with Lake Superior in the bg.
An icon of Duluth, this aerial lift bridge is the gateway to the Duluth harbor on Lake Superior and dates back to 1905. The structure originally operated as a transporter bridge (basically a suspended ferry), but was converted to an aerial lift bridge in 1930. It has a span of about 500 feet and a clear height for ships of about 138 ft. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1973.
Lake Superior is amazing and is aptly named. Lake Superior contains 10% of all planet Earth's fresh surface water. It covers 82,000 sq km (31,700 sq mi) with an average depth of 147 metres or 483 feet. The deepest point in the lake is 405 metres or 1,333 feet. It contains more water than all of the other Great Lakes combined. There is enough water in Lake Superior to cover all of the land area of North AND South America with water one foot deep. The maximum wave ever recorded on Lake Superior was 9.45 metres or 31 feet high. If all water were drained from the North American continent, the low point of Lake Superior would be the lowest point of land on the continent.
The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey, U.S.A.
The Mute Swan is one of the largest and most visually striking waterfowl species, known for its graceful movements and imposing size. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, it was introduced to North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily for ornamental purposes in parks, estates, and zoos. Over time, feral populations established themselves, especially in the northeastern United States, and have since expanded into parts of the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. While admired for their beauty, Mute Swans have also become controversial in some regions due to their aggressive behavior and ecological impact.
Mute Swans are among the heaviest flying birds in the world, with adults weighing between 14 to 29 pounds with a wingspan that can reach 6.6 to 7.9 feet.
According to the IUCN Red List, the Mute Swan has an estimated 308,000-348,000 mature individuals with a population trend that is increasing.
IUCN Red List Assessment (2025): Least Concern
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley
