Peregrine Falcons catch medium-sized birds in the air with swift, spectacular dives, called stoops. In cities they are masterful at catching pigeons. Elsewhere they feed especially on shorebirds and ducks. They often sit on high perches, waiting for the right opportunity to make their aerial assault.
Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 6:14,15
From when the White Wolf fought
A silver-tongued devil
His army of elves
At his hooves did they revel
They came after me
With masterful deceit
Broke down my lute
And they kicked in my teeth
While the devil's horns
Minced our tender meat
And so cried the Witcher
He can't be bleat
Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful Moms!
The cup is made by blowing a balloon dipping it in Chocolate,
when the chocolate is set with a pin prick the balloon, and you get the cup!

"When you walk along a wooded path
In the nature my heart held so dear,
Remember the joy that it gave me
And know that I’ll always be near.
When a robin announces his presence
Singing solo as day becomes new
The doe lifts her head to listen
As her fawn drinks the freshness of dew.
When an otter glides through the river,
His swim is a masterful one.
He engages his mate in a playful chase
Then they climb on the rocks to sun.
When the rustling leaves touch the autumn sky,
Boasting colors of russet and gold
Geese wing on their southern-most journey
To escape from the beckoning cold.
When the North wind blows through the towering pines
It delivers a mid winter’s chill
While snowflakes drift softly on fresh frozen lakes
And the call of the wild becomes still.
In each of these things, remember me.
And know that I’ll always be near.
The woodlands, God’s wondrous Creation,
In His nature my heart held so dear."

Le bâtiment est de style tout à fait futuriste. En effet, il prend la forme d'un long squelette d'un Animal préhistorique dont les épines dorsales percent le ciel. L’architecture correspond donc parfaitement au contenu du musée.
Le musée représente une superficie de 42 000 m2. Il mesure presque 250 m de long, 104 m de large pour 55 m de hauteur. Ces dimensions magistrales en font le plus grand musée d’Espagne. Il a ainsi fallu 58 000 m2 de béton et 14 000 tonnes d’acier pour le bâtir. L’édifice est entouré de 13 000 m2 de bassins.

Art gallery? Who needs it? Look up at the swirling silver-lined clouds in the magnificent blue sky or at the silently blazing stars at midnight. How could indoor art be any more masterfully created than God's museum of nature?
~Grey Livingston
I'm off on another adventure but not so far this time. I'll check in soon.
Have a great weekend and thanks for all your visits and comments. I have the best Flcikr friends. xoxo
Steam plus a loco this time and, for me, the star of the show on the East Lancs this last weekend (sorry "Flying Scotsman" fans).
Effortlessly and unceremoniously doing its job with masterful presence is Bullied West Country Pacific 34092 "City of Wells" resplendent with the Golden Arrow adornment. It doesn't get much better.
A bit traditional this one but I could just be encouraged to get into this kettle lark.

The ability of the waters of the world to produce masterful artwork abstracts knows no bounds. This capture taken around Lake Ashinoko in Hakone Japan, is another example.
Welcome to the architecturally stunning Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel, where heritage and adventure blend into a magnificent landmark. Housed in the classic Fulton Building, this Pittsburgh luxury hotel was masterfully restored, exuding the timeless elegance of old-world charm, while providing the personal service designed for modern contentment. Surrounded by five world-renowned theaters in the heart of the Cultural District, this hotel in downtown Pittsburgh is near the excitement of Heinz Field, PNC Park, and Mellon Arena, as well as the David L. Lawrence Convention Cente

Whichever direction it faces this tiny bird clings with its huge feet most masterfully.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
… on a windy day

A male Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) glides toward the nest occupied by his mate, eagerly anticipating his arrival home. While the gusty wind made his landing a bit less graceful than usual, it did ruffle his mates plumage in a way that made him recall Marilyn’s stance over the steam vent, stirring his ardor a bit and warming the homecoming.
This angle on the male reinforces my amazement that these birds only weigh around 5 to 6 pounds (2.5 kg) despite their relatively large size. Evolution’s masterful engineering yields this wonderful feat mostly as a result of their hollow bones.
Undoubtedly one of his greatest artistic endeavors even though a pope has to basically coerce him to take on the project, the paintings on Sistine Chapel Ceiling in the Vatican have been masterfully reproduced by using licensed high definition photography and then a specialized printing technique that emulates the look and feel of the original painting. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition a traveling exhibition that allows one to see Michelangelo’s masterpieces up close and on Sunday my west coast damsel and I went to the Northern California exhibition at Davis on the grounds of U C Davis. Amazing the detail and accuracy of each biblical character definitely recommended for anyone who like me hasn’t been to the Vatican or the Sistine Chapel, plus this got us closer than one would ever get in Rome. The reluctant painter considered himself a master sculptor, but the Pope at the time needed the chapel to be finished under his watch, so Michelangelo would have to address the Sistine Chapel before he could sculpt the Pope’s tomb which he had already been commissioned. This image is of the creation of man, Adam as God provides him with the breath or spark of life. #sistinechapelexhibit

Musée des sciences Príncipe Felipe,
Le bâtiment est de style tout à fait futuriste. En effet, il prend la forme d'un long squelette d'un Animal préhistorique dont les épines dorsales percent le ciel. L’architecture correspond donc parfaitement au contenu du musée.
Le musée représente une superficie de 42 000 m2. Il mesure presque 250 m de long, 104 m de large pour 55 m de hauteur. Ces dimensions magistrales en font le plus grand musée d’Espagne. Il a ainsi fallu 58 000 m2 de béton et 14 000 tonnes d’acier pour le bâtir. L’édifice est entouré de 13 000 m2 de bassins.
Le Pont de l'Assut de l'Or ou Pont de la Serradora
est un pont de Valence qui enjambe le fleuve Turia entre, à l'est, la Cité des arts et des sciences et, à l'ouest, l'Ágora, tous trois étant des réalisations de l'architecte valencien Santiago Calatrava Valls.
Le pont a été inauguré le 12 décembre 2008. Avec ses 123 mètres, c'est le plus haut monument de la ville. Le pont, blanc comme toutes les autres réalisations de l'architecte, adopte la forme d'une harpe dont les 29 câbles supportent le tablier.
L'Ágora
est une place couverte du complexe architectural de la Cité des arts et des sciences.
Elle fut dessinée par le célèbre architecte valencien Santiago Calatrava Valls, déjà auteur de quatre autres monuments de la Cité entre 1998 et 2008.
Comme les autres éléments de la Cité des Arts et des Sciences et œuvres de Santiago Calatrava Valls, le bâtiment relève du style futuriste : l'Ágora semble représenter deux mains entrelacées. Celui-ci représente une surface de 5000m² et atteint une hauteur de 80m, ce qui en fait le plus haut de la Cité juste devant l'Opéra de Valence, haute de 75m. Le bâtiment possède une structure métallique. De plus, il est revêtu de trencadis bleu, type de mosaïque créée à partir d'éclats de carreaux. Cette technique est d'ailleurs souvent utilisée par les architectes espagnols comme Gaudi. L'Ágora est aussi entourée d'un grand lac artificiel comme l'Opéra, l'Hemisfèric et le Musée des Sciences Prince Philippe, les autres bâtiments de la Cité.
Príncipe Felipe Science Museum,
The building is quite futuristic in style. Indeed, it takes the form of a long skeleton of a prehistoric animal whose backbones pierce the sky. The architecture therefore corresponds perfectly to the content of the museum.
The museum covers an area of 42,000 m2. It is almost 250 m long, 104 m wide and 55 m high. These masterful dimensions make it the largest museum in Spain. It took 58,000 m2 of concrete and 14,000 tons of steel to build it. The building is surrounded by 13,000 m2 of pools.
The Assut de l'Or Bridge or Serradora Bridge
is a bridge in Valencia that crosses the Turia River between, to the east, the City of Arts and Sciences and, to the west, the Ágora, all three being the creations of the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.
The bridge was inaugurated on December 12, 2008. With its 123 meters, it is the highest monument in the city. The bridge, white like all of the architect's other creations, takes the form of a harp whose 29 cables support the deck.
The Agora
is a covered square of the architectural complex of the City of Arts and Sciences.
It was designed by the famous Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava Valls, already author of four other monuments of the City between 1998 and 2008.
Like the other elements of the City of Arts and Sciences and works by Santiago Calatrava Valls, the building is futuristic in style: the Ágora seems to represent two intertwined hands. This represents an area of 5000m² and reaches a height of 80m, which makes it the highest in the City just in front of the Opéra de Valence, which is 75m high. The building has a metal structure. In addition, it is clad in blue trencadís, a type of mosaic created from shards of tiles. This technique is also often used by Spanish architects like Gaudi. The Ágora is also surrounded by a large artificial lake like the Opera, the Hemisfèric and the Prince Philippe Science Museum, the other buildings of the City.
is filling a „lost place“, an old ruin pf a former power station with beauty and a flair of art. I saw it during a visit of an exhibition. Sometimes this ruin is used for private concerts,
There was such a little beam of daylight, when someone opened the door to enter. This is a free hand shot!

Can I just say that this photo project can sometimes take over my life? I planned this destination shoot a few weeks ago because we decided to watch Up. I am in awe of the masterful storytelling in the first part of the show. After the movie came out, there was a home built that was modeled after the house from the movie and it was featured in our local Parade of Homes and we were able to take a tour. It is now a private residence and as you can see today was garbage day. I was really tempted to move the garbage cans but I felt like enough of a creeper to show up before sunrise and take pictures of the house so I decided not to push my luck.
Happy Fence Friday!
And oh yeah, I got numbers in there too for the 365: The 2015 edition theme this week. :)

A misty, mystical riverbed, my friend, you've captured the very essence of gothic romance with this shot. The mist rolls in like a gentle tide of spirits, each wave a whisper of secrets long kept by the ancient stones that lie scattered across the river's path.
The trees, shrouded in autumn's fiery cloak, stand as silent witnesses to the eternal ballet of water and fog. They're like the chorus in a tragic opera, their golden leaves the final applause for summer's end. The water itself, dark and brooding, carries the soft light as if it were precious cargo, ferrying it through the mist to places unknown, places of shadow and lore.
The stones, rugged and mossy, are the stepping stones of the fae folk, inviting the brave to venture across the water and into the realm of myth that awaits on the other side. They jut from the water like the backs of ancient creatures, long submerged, waiting for the perfect moment to rise again.
In this scene, one can almost hear the melodic strains of a haunting melody, as if the river itself is singing a siren song, luring the souls of the unwary to join in the eternal dance of water and air. It's a place where reality is draped in the gossamer veil of fantasy, and every rock, every tree, every wisp of fog is part of a larger, more enigmatic story.
This photograph is a gateway, my friend, a portal to a world that exists just beyond the reach of our fingertips, in the twilight realm between waking and dreaming. A masterful capture of the eerie beauty that lies at the heart of the natural world. Keep on clicking, for it's through lenses like yours that we glimpse the true, unspoken enchantments of this world.

This started out as a summery, flowery image. But then the weather got colder and the days darker and when I looked again, the image had completely changed. Very strange.
Everytime the rewind event comes around, the name reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Nas. I've been an avid fan of his since the 90's, but this particular song was especially masterful to me because of the way in which the lyrics were delivered. The entire story he's spinning from the first bar is a backwards telling of the events described, Rewind. From the way he rapped it, to the beat chosen, it harmonizes with that vision. When I saw the table and chair set by Cubic Cherry, of a cassette tape being rewound I was like yasss, and couldn't get this song out of my mind lol. I hope you all enjoy. ♥

Woodworking; most admirable of crafts, and possibly the oldest of trades. This beautiful woodworking shop in Toledo ES, with the most humblest craftsman. Been here 4 yrs back and it's alway a pleasure to see Mateo masterfully working his trade and passion. My love for this profession is personal, my Grandfather was a woodworker and carpenter, in a small town in southern Italy, the fond memories return when entering and the aroma of the various woods bring me back to Nono's shop. I still have and work with several of his chisels.

The Maryland Rinehart was one of a group of successful American sculptors who worked in Rome during the mid- nineteenth century.One of his finest works in his depiction of Latona.the Roman goddess of night,seated with Apollo and Diana,the twin she had by Jupiter,asleep at her side.She looks with tranquil affection at her sleeping infants who resemble classical putti.Further classical illusions are made by Latona's simplified hair patterns and archaeologically precise costume and sandals.Rinehart masterfully handled both the theme and the composition of this ambitious undertaking,avoiding sentimental "prettiness,"which he found "unworthy of sculpture."

Theres a bit of a story behind this shot , where im standing there is a bar here where we consumed quite a few Guiness whilst enjoying this view. We come here every year to purchase fresh lobster from the local fishermen and obviously enjoy the beaches although as you can see the weather took a turn for the worse . The red roofed house you see on the left is the fisherman we go to for the lobster. when we arrived he called his son who was down at the bay to go out to sea to get the lobster for us which were in traps kept fresh . We purchased 3 10lb live lobster for 50USD . Yes 50usd . My sister who is a chef , masterfully cooked them up that same evening for dinner . I am grateful to be born and raised in a place like this and have these experiences.
Thanks for looking everyone!

It is a work of the artist Enrique Mijallo. Mijallo's works are made with recycled materials from the automotive world, "car parts that we scrapped, welded together in a masterful way to obtain the desired shape, utensils and parts such as brake shoes, radiators, screws, a clutch, headlights etc.
No one likes vultures, but they fulfill an important role and I find these black vultures stunning! Here is one resting in the trees, in a partially shady area, so I had to recall Tanizaki’s masterful essay on esthetics…. Near the Conowingo Dam, Maryland.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that makes a simple sound or image into something far more noteworthy. The human brain is masterful in organizing visual data into meaningful and significant shapes. It is a way to make sense of random or ambiguous patterns where none really exists. Some common examples are seeing animals in clouds, monsters in cracks on the wall, or gnarly faces on tree trunks.
As a Mommy to eleven, I see a smiling face of a beautiful black cat! This is an antique round wrought iron mirror frame. I don't think it originally was a frame, but I have had it for years and it has a little round mirror in the center.
Happy Smile on Saturday!:-)
I used to have a friend here on Flickr, a fine photographer and masterful technical person who once said when I posted an image similar to this. Let me say that we met and photographed together on his visits from the U.K. but somehow drifted apart.
This is the same bird that gave me directions in the previous image, and became quite the poser as you will see.
He said the pose was because the bird knew I was a Hoodlum from Brooklyn N.Y. and was checking for his wallet and that he still had it after seeing me in the area, what they both did not know is I already had his wallet, lol-:)), and was living up to my reputation.
Thanks for visiting.
Taken by the unedited and raw shots of Emeline Laks. Masterful in her craft of lights and shadows with the Black Dragon viewer. This woman takes amazing shots!
Unfiltered/raw, photoshop or whatever way you choose to do your SL pics, it’s alright by me. I respect and appreciate them all.
Do you. And stay humble.

Ďuro Helle is a traveller and street musician. Not sure what is his nationality, but his first name is a version of Slovak name Juraj. His handling of steel pan is masterful and he attracts big crowds on the popular tourist destination Charles Bridge. The 'hang drum' is based on the Caribbean version of steel pan, but strongly modified by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer and introduce about 20 years ago. I do not know the name of the other musicians, but it seems to me they play together quite a while.
