The Usmanov family migrated from Russia to Rishtan to add to Rishtan’s rich tradition of pottery. With Rishtan being situated on the Silk Road, the ancient major East-West trade route, it is thought that Rishtan potters may originally have tried to copy Chinese porcelain, despite the necessary kaolin clay not being locally available. This led them to the discovery of the local Rishtan clay, which more than made up for the absence of the kaolin clay. The Rishtan ceramists say their clay is so good that it does not require preliminary processing and exposure time. Adding to the beauty of the Rishtan ceramics is the ishkor glaze which gives Rishtan pottery its brilliant blue-green glaze, bringing alive the colors of the earth and the sky.
The Silver Y (Gammafly / Autographa gamma) is a migrating moth coming to Norway in large numbers every summer. It is a very fast flying butterfly. The only way I could get decent photos was by using my "bird-lens" from about 150 cm distance.

Approximately 250 southward-bound Canadian Geese soar way above the countryside near Lake Park, Minnesota.
Summer is coming to a close when the geese begin their commute (more-or-less) southward. If this picture was animated, you would see the classic V formation forming as they jostled for position.
Taken on a recent trip to Howard Creek Ranch, near Westport in California.

We seem to get one or two every year in our lavender hedge, presumably it is a stop off point for them migrating down to Africa. Taken South Manchester.
This couldn't have been a finer day in February, not only were the migrating geese flying over head, but the pedestrians seemed to be welcoming them too.
