This is what a visitor sees when exits from the other side of the upper Antelope Canyon. I've made this photo for the second time after seven years and the result is almost the same; but this time I was more prepared to capture its stunning textures details; then I underexposed a little in order to capture all blue and purple hues that the sensor was able to register, maintaining the strong light coming from the outside. The result is something that I printed on a metal surface like aluminium in a vertical, supersaturated composition.
Brant/Brent Goose - Branta bernicla
The brant, or brent goose (Branta bernicla), is a species of goose of the genus Branta. The black brant is a pacific North American subspecies.
It used to be a strictly coastal bird in winter, seldom leaving tidal estuaries, where it feeds on eel-grass (Zostera marina) and the seaweed, sea lettuce (Ulva). On the east coast of North America, the inclusion of sea lettuce is a recent change to their diet, brought about by a blight on eelgrass in 1931. This resulted in the near-extirpation of the brant. The few that survived changed their diet to include sea lettuce until the eelgrass eventually began to return. Brants have maintained this diet ever since as a survival strategy. In recent decades, it has started using agricultural land a short distance inland, feeding extensively on grass and winter-sown cereals. This may be behavior learned by following other species of geese. Food resource pressure may also be important in forcing this change, as the world population increased over 10-fold to 400,000-500,000 by the mid-1980s, possibly reaching the carrying capacity of the estuaries. In the breeding season, it uses low-lying wet coastal tundra for both breeding and feeding. The nest is bowl-shaped, lined with grass and down, in an elevated location, often near a small pond.
The brant goose is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds applies.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
wasp on a daisy
Wasps have a great need for carbohydrates (sugars). To this end, they take in nectar from flowers, honeydew (the sugary, liquid secretion of aphids), the pulp and juice of ripe fruits (including pears and plums). The menu also includes sweet foods and drinks.
Wasps need proteins to maintain their own body, but especially to feed the larvae. They get it by catching and eating other insects. These can be all kinds of flies and mosquitoes, but also adult harvestmen, cicadas and their larvae, hairless or slightly hairy caterpillars, the larvae of sawflies, sawflies, honey bees and spiders.
A population of 400 wasps can bring as many as 3,000 captured prey to the nest per day!et
As a car enthusiast I do like it when I see a shiny bodywork on a classic car. That means, well kept, well maintained and it usually shows that the owner actually likes what he's doing. However, some times, the old timers need to be seen with the touch of time on them. I found this old truck parked on the yard of a winery at the Finger Lakes in NY. It quickly drew my attention, sitting there like an old rusty fella having proudly served its cause by hauling loads of grapes and crates of good wines.

Fountain Elms was maintained as a house museum, exhibiting the Proctors' paintings, prints and decorative furnishings as the nucleus of a permanent collection. In June of 1941, the Institute was granted the power to "provide instruction in higher education at the college level in the field of fine arts with authority to confer the degree of bachelor of fine arts." It was on this great occasion that the School of Art was established.
Owls are generally nocturnal hunters. Winter temperatures, however, require a much higher calorie intake to maintain body heat. This Owl would normally be sleeping at this time of day.
The hunt was successful.
I have maintained my social isolation in family and with professional work at home. Here in Brazil we are already with more than 13.000 deaths by Covid-19.
That's why I'm posting my travel photos to Portugal of December 2019.
I hope that my friends here on Flickr are maintaining proper care...we will still overcome all this worldwide adversity.

The Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, was the last home for Arizona's Territorial government, until Arizona became a state in 1912. Initially, all three branches of the new state government occupied the four floors of the statehouse. As the state expanded the branches relocated to adjacent buildings and additions. The 1901 portion of the Capitol is now maintained as the Arizona Capitol Museum with a focus on the history and culture of Arizona. The Arizona State Library which occupied most of the 1938 addition until July 2017 re-opened in late 2018 as a part of the Arizona Capitol Museum.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

This statue stands in the Jardins Biovès in Menton, France, a lush and meticulously maintained public garden located in the city center along Avenue Boyer. The statue visible is the “Monument to Queen Victoria”, commemorating her visit to Menton in 1882. The sculpture depicts Queen Victoria with a symbolic guardian angel by her side, paying homage to her significance and the role she played in popularizing the French Riviera as a winter destination among British aristocracy.
Surrounded by palm trees, rose-covered arches, and seasonal flower displays, the monument adds a regal historical touch to the tropical ambiance of the gardens. The setting, with the backdrop of the mountains and Belle Époque architecture, captures the elegance and timeless charm of Menton...

female of this beautiful and peculiar eagle species in Mara North Conservancy, Kenya
IUCN Red List Status: Endangered
The Bateleur is a mid-sized African eagle with long wings and a very short tail. It lives in partially open savanna country and woodland within Sub-Saharan Africa. The adults have spectacular colors but the juveniles have a quite uniform brown colors. It may take up to 8 years before the birds have the full adult plumage.
Bateleur is the French word for "tightrope-walker", this aptly describes its distinctive, erratic and unstable manner of flying; the rocking flight motion very much mimics the side-to-side movement of a tight rope walker maintaining his balance. The species also demonstrates some spectacular aerial displays, particularly during courtship.
They prey on mammals (often rodents), birds and reptiles. While looking for food they stay up in the air for up to 8 hours and cover huge distances. Carrion is also a part of their diet, especially for juvenile and immature birds. Many carcasses are often first detected by a Bateleur ( or a Tawny Eagle ) well before the vultures arrive

Serenity is maintaining a sense of inner peace even in difficult situations. We gain serenity by accepting the things we cannot change and focusing our energy where we can make a difference.
Fear, anger or desire can create a sense of urgency that triggers us to react impulsively. When this happens, we risk undermining our goals, damaging relationships--even violating our deepest values. By contrast, when we cultivate serenity, we don’t fear our emotions, but we do keep them in balance. We govern ourselves rather than being ruled by external circumstances and our feelings about them.
Meditative practices, contemplation, physical exercise and self-regulation skills all can help us to maintain a serene, peaceful state of mind. This mental state in turn frees us to live thoughtfully and intentionally. When we hold onto our own sense of serenity, we help others to keep theirs.
Crest of Mount Rainier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
At 14,411 feet [4392 meters] the crest of Tahoma/Rainier is typically covered in snow year round. But the heat waves this summer have melted most of the snowpack, leaving more rock exposed than I have ever seen on this mountain. I have been sad to see it looking so bereft, but it has also offered a very different view of the mountain, especially when seen up close.
When clad in its usual protective vesture of snow, the mountain seems aloof, maintaining an air of mystery and distance. It asks for deference and awe and is granted that without a thought.
Shorn of that icy impenetrable surface, the layers beneath are fully exposed. The mountain seems approachable, touchable, vulnerable. It permits an intimacy of acquaintance that previously seemed impossible.
And there is a beauty in those revelations, in those bare contours that entice the eye and speak of untold years. One feels there must be a multitude of stories in those lines and folds and shadowed spaces.
I fervently hope that once the snow returns it will remain as it should and I will not see those rocks again. Yet somehow it changes things, when one has seen the long kept secrets a formerly forbidding mountain holds inside. I will always know what I have seen there. I wonder if the mountain knows?
The annual Dahlia Display has been planted and maintained by the Puget Sound Dahlia Association since 1993. Sun-loving dahlias provide a kaleidoscope of color and texture from high summer through fall. The tubers are dug and stored every October; old favorites and exciting new cultivars are planted each spring.

The railway station at Newcastle Co. Wicklow which has now been very tastefully converted to a house. Lucky people. Only a few trains pass this way every day[ 4 ] coming from and going to the port of Rosslare, Co. Wexford. It costs a lot of money to maintain the track as it runs beside the sea and it often gets washed away. The only good thing is perhaps, if Brexit does take place in the UK, Rosslare will be a direct link to the continent so hopefully that would save this wonderful railway.
I think its a special place and it only takes me 15 mins to cycle there. I took the photo from the Blackditch Nature Reserve in Newcastle.

San Francisco has maintained its reputation as a center of cultural bohemianism. In earlier years it had drawn writers from Mark Twain to Jack London, and it became a center for the 1950s beat poets and for the Haight-Ashbury hippie counterculture that peaked with the 1967 “Summer of Love.”

Some Hadada ibis maintain a pair bonding throughout the year. Commonly, a female, with her wings half-open, approaches a male and touches her beak to his beak. After this brief mutual beak-to-beak touching, she resumes feeding elsewhere among the party. Billing behavior of pairs includes rattling of beaks up and down and side-to-side while nodding heads. Courtship includes the offering of sticks by each bird to the other 😄, followed by neck intertwining, mutual preening, head shaking

Sedona is known for having countless views of interesting and scenic red rock formations, many of which can be seen after a short walk or even from the road. However, there are also several more rugged and grander views in the Sedona area, which are not witnessed often, due to accessibility. Unfortunately, most of those require highly challenging off-road navigation, just to reach a trailhead. Fortunately, the trailhead which leads into this part of Sedona’s surrounding wilderness, is located next to a well maintained road. After hiking about 2.5 miles with 2000 feet of elevation gain, the reward is this view. However, I must admit that lack of patience, prevented me from setting up at one of the many better foreground options, and with some regret, I ultimately settled for this composition.

This was one of my target species for eastern Australia. A delightful little wader with enormous long toes and feet to enable it to stand on floating vegetation, hence their nickname, Lily-trotter. Females are the dominant sex in this family and are much larger than the males. The females maintain a territory with 3-4 males and they lay eggs in each male territory for them to bring up. Judging by the size of this bird, it is a male.

When the tide is at its lowest you can virtually wade across the river at Looe in south-east Cornwall. Looe sits on two steep hillsides either side of the Looe River. It still maintains a small fishing industry but, like all Cornish seaside resorts, it is heavily dependent upon holiday visitors for its main income.
The Covid pandemic and shut-down caused enormous losses to businesses both here and abroad. Now there are difficulties in taking foreign holidays (e.g.my daughter had to abort her holiday and fly home early from Mexico) many people who would not normally stay here are cramming in to coastal resorts to the general discomfort of those locals who live here. Sadly, many visitors feel unwelcome and will possibly never return. It's a no-win situation.

Europe, Spain, Andalusia, Sevilla, Plaza da la Encarnación, Metropol Parasol, Maintenance workers (uncut)
The Metropol Parasol, aka Setas de Sevilla was designed by Berlin architect Jörgen Mayer and opened in 2011. It's on the location of a demolished market and In its bowels are a new food market and a museal space where the ancient (Roman) foundations of the city can be visited. The main function of the edifice is to refresh and modernize the urban image of Sevilla.
At the planning stage, there was opposition - the Semana Sancta organizers were against it and, strange enough, a Spanish-German trade organization too. Perhaps it was a bit too much of a "fremdkörper" in the middle of town. But in the 6 years of its existence, it has become an organic element of the town.
The view it offers on the town and its surroundings is wonderful. It's, by the way, the largest wooden structure in the world. The laminated wood is covered by a fire retardant layer.
Seen here are maintenance works.
