Chain Bridge (Lánchid) in Budapest - was built between 1839 -1849, designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark.
Bridge was the first permanent connection to the opposite side of the Danube - Buda and Pest. It was also the first stone bridge on the Danube in the limits of contemporary Hungary. The total length of the bridge is 380 meters and length of central span of 230 meters.

Most Łańcuchowy (Lánchid) w Budapeszcie - został zbudowany w latach 1839-1849, według projektu angielskiego inżyniera Williama Tierney'a Clarka.
Most stanowił pierwsze stałe połączenie leżących po przeciwnych stronach Dunaju - Budy i Pesztu. Był jednocześnie pierwszym mostem kamiennym na odcinku Dunaju w granicach ówczesnych Węgier. Całkowita długość mostu wynosi 380 metrów, zaś rozpiętość środkowego przęsła 230 metrów.
Probably one of the most photographed, most tourist packed and most overrated locations in Norway, in my opinion.
We were leaving Lofoten when I took this picture. It was a brilliant sunset and I hadn't yet been able to take that "classic" Lofoten picture. When I saw this view here I just stopped and took some pictures, because OF COURSE I need to have something. I think it turned out very well.
My thoughts about Lofoten, well, it's not ideal for travelers who want to sleep in tents. Do yourself a favor and go there with an RV or something like that. Be prepared to not find any parking places, especially in Henningsvær for example. Reine was also full of people and we only found a free parking spot after six in the evening. Other people were parking along the main road but I wasn't brave like them. I already got stuck once on this trip.
I have to say I prefer southern Norway with its majestic fjords and valleys to Lofoten, but Lofoten definitely has a unique look and so, so many bridges.

Most of northern Iowa is under a blizzard warning today and with the heavy snow and raging wind causing whiteout conditions this male cardinal is looking for any port in a storm.
Most of my visits here i wish the boats to be facing into the sun, but in this case the light was perfect, love this place, you never know what you are going to find in the way of boat positions water around them, the light plays a big part on this vast sandy beach.
Country: Montenegro
Location: Slijepač Most
Train: IC 1131 "Tara" Beograd - Bar with ŽPCG 461 039
Die 461 039 war die "Standard Lok" für das IC Zugpaar 1130/1131 in den Tagen unseres Besuchs. So hing sie auch an diesem Nachmittag wieder am Zug der aus Serbien kommend vor kurzem in Bijelo Polje seinen ersten Stopp in Montengro verlassen hat.
Er befindet sich gerade auf der 450m langen Ljuboviđa-Brücke, der zweitlängsten Brücke in ganz Montenegro.
Nach einer Verfolgung an Bijelo Polje vorbei fotografierten wir den Zug hier zum zweiten mal. Deshalb wussten wir auch mit wieviel Verspätung wir zu rechnen hatte. Denn auch an diesem Nachmittag traf der Zug nicht pünktlich aus Serbien ein. Mit nur knapp 30min Verspätung hielt sich das aber alles in Grenzen.
Schade war die Garnitur an diesem Nachmittag. Der 2023 nur im Sommer verkehrende IC wird mit einer Garnitur der Serbinschen Staatsbahn und mit einer Garnitur der Montenegrinischen Bahn geführt. Jene der ZGCP ist zumindest auf einer Seite relativ frei von Schmiererein. Das kann man von den Serbischen Wagen nicht behaupten. Es ist eher so, dass man die ursprüngliche Lackierung nur mehr erahnen kann. Jänu ... schön ist das Bild trotzdem :-).

Ellery Creek Big Hole is one of the most popular and picturesque camping, walking, swimming and picnic spots in the Tjoritja / West MacDonnell National Park. The spectacular waterhole is fed by the West MacDonnell Ranges (Tjoritja) and surrounded by high red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. It is also at the trailhead for Sections 6 and 7 of the 231 kilometre Larapinta Trail walk.
Thousands of years of massive floods have carved out this waterhole, which is recognised as an internationally significant geological site. Take the 3 kilometre Dolomite walk to see the surrounding formations. The Aboriginal name for Ellery Big Hole is Udepata. The permanent water made it a special meeting place for the Aranda people on the fish and honey ant dreaming trails. 16311

With most shortlines generally operating on weekdays, I had to take advantage of an entire Wednesday off work yesterday. Initially I had planned to head east to Delaware on good authority that ESPN would run a blue and yellow trio out of Wilsmere, but when I punched this into the GPS I must've had a brainfart of some sort, as it began taking me west towards the MMID. By the time I noticed my mistake I was already half way to Union Bridge, so turning around would've been of a low mental standard. Instead I caught up to UBHF at Thurmont, where I was very pleasantly surprised to see a lashup of three flared 40's and a pair of oldies in tow, lined up with the 2060 facing east for the return. After a westbound chase to Highfield, I set up in Sabillasville after scoping out all the possible eastbound angles and settled for this winner. A nerve-wracking two hours later, and surely not long before the shadows consumed the ROW, the screaming dynamics of the MMID quintet could be heard roaring down the mountain, and a scene for the ages was converted into pixels.
Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. They mark the most eastern point of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
The fortifications and walls of Dubrovnik are most interesting tourist attraction of this city. They are about 1940 m long, up to 25 m high and 1.5 to 6 m thick. The walls, built from the 9th to the 17th century, additionally strengthen five bastions and towers.
The first walls were probably built at the end of 8th century. The rapid development of city, and especially the appearance of aggressive neighbors, prompted the citizens of Ragusa to build more powerful fortifications. In 867, the city was attacked by Arab troops. Later, many times the walls defended the city against hostile invasions. They were also rebuilt and modernized many times.
Outside the walls are two fortresses (Lovrijenac and Revelin), which were the first line of defense of city.

Fortyfikacje i mury Dubrownika stanowią najciekawszą atrakcję turystyczną tego miasta. Mają około 1940 m długości, wysokość do 25 m i grubość w granicach 1,5 - 6 m. Mury, budowane od IX do XVII wieku, wzmacnia dodatkowo pięć bastionów oraz wieże.
Pierwsze mury zbudowano prawdopodobnie pod koniec VIII wieku. Szybki rozwój miasta, a zwłaszcza pojawienie się agresywnych sąsiadów skłoniło obywateli Ragusy do wzniesienia potężniejszych umocnień. W 867 roku miasto zostało zaatakowane przez wojska arabskie. Później jeszcze wielokrotnie mury broniły miasto przed wrogimi najazdami. Były również wielokrotnie przebudowywane i modernizowane.
Po za murami są zlokalizowane dwie fortece (Lovrijenac i Revelin), które były pierwszą linią obrony miasta.

Unlike most terns, the Gull-billed Tern has a broad diet and does not depend on fish. Instead it commonly feeds on insects, small crabs, and other prey snatched from the ground, air, or even bushes. It is also known to eat small chicks of other tern species.

As I was driving into work, the morning sun was making its way thru the mist and fog, trees are just starting to burst with color and I couldn't help myself but to pull over and take it all in. I drove up on this ridge and parked. I walked up to the open gates and noticed several small spider webs, glistening from the dew in the morning sun and started snapping away, I was very excited to see these come out so well on my iPhone. Tiny moments otherwise unwitnessed, my "stopping to smell the roses" moment.
In the run down to the end of 2021, I'm reposting some of my most successful photos and videos. This was my most viewed train shot in the past 9 years.
The TranzAlpine is one of the world's great train journeys covering 223 kilometres (139 miles) one-way, crossing New Zealand's South Island from Christchurch to Greymouth. On this journey you’ll see epic vistas, travel the edges of the ice-fed Waimakariri River, traverse the Southern Alps, and see miles of native beech forest.
I took this shot from the open air observation car at the back of the train. Put it on your bucket list, you'll not be disappointed.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men
who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind
their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and
permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back their lives
as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to
fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing
off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up
violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy
vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.
They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed
by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's door, and they will
cry, scream, and beg for mercy...but it will fall upon the deaf
ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone. "
Most of you know I have a small obsession with feathers. I just love their patterned, colourful beauty and intricacy. When my nephew is with me, he and I spend a lot of time on our walks looking at the ground!
I found these blue beauties across the road from my home. I think they've most likely become detached from a Crimson Rosella, although there are a few other possible candidates. And yes, the feathers really are that blue.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Happy Canada Day to all who celebrates it!
The plumage of most kingfishers is bright, with green and blue being the most common colours. The brightness of the colours is neither the product of iridescence or pigments, but is instead caused by the structure of the feathers, which causes scattering of blue light (the Tyndall effect).
The kingfishers have long, dagger-like bills. The bill is usually longer and more compressed in species that hunt fish, and shorter and more broad in species that hunt prey off the ground. The largest and most atypical bill is that of the shovel-billed kookaburra, which is used to dig through the forest floor in search of prey. They generally have short legs, although species that feed on the ground have longer tarsi. Most species have four toes, three of which are forward-pointing.
The irises of most species are dark brown. The kingfishers have excellent vision; they are capable of binocular vision and are thought in particular to have good colour vision. They have restricted movement of their eyes within the eye sockets, instead using head movements to track prey. In addition, they are capable of compensating for the refraction of water and reflection when hunting prey underwater, and are able to judge depth under water accurately. They also have nictitating membranes that cover the eyes to protect them when they hit the water; the pied kingfisher has a bony plate which slides across the eye when it hits the water.
The most striking feature of Messe Basel - New Hall designed by Herzog & De Meuron and opened in 2013 is the cladding made of perforated aluminium skin with modular undulating stripes. In the centre of the structure there is a square, called Messeplatz, naturally lit through a large open circular ceiling.
I'm not a great lover of photographing captive birds but as I have never seen one in the wild I thought I would make the most of the opportunity.
Die in den Jahren 1858 bis 1864 erbaute große Wallfahrtskirche wurde 1923 zur Päpstlichen Basilika erhoben. Das Patronat der „Aufnahme Mariens in den Himmel“ soll daran erinnern, was das Ziel irdischer Pilgerschaft ist.
1991 wurde mit der Innenausmalung in Anlehnung an Sainte-Chapelle in Paris eine Restaurierung abgeschlossen und damit einer der farbenprächtigsten Kirchenräume des Rheinlandes wiederhergestellt.
The large pilgrimage church built between 1858 and 1864 was elevated to the status of papal basilica in 1923. The patronage of the "Assumption of Mary into Heaven" is intended to remind us what the goal of earthly pilgrimage is.
In 1991, a restoration was completed with the interior painting based on Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and one of the most colorful church interiors in the Rhineland was restored.
The Black Cuillin are the finest mountains in the British Isles, bar none. Big, black, jagged and scary - who can fail to be impressed? Some of my most memorable mountain days were spent up there, and I hope I still have the legs to make it back.

One of the most common and widespread sparrows in North America. Fairly large with a long, rounded tail. Overall coarsely patterned with gray and brown, usually with more reddish-brown wings and tail. Look especially for thick brown streaks on the underparts and a broad dark mustache stripe. Significant variation in plumage geographically: relatively pale and rusty in the southwestern U.S.; blacker streaking in California; overall dusky in the Pacific Northwest. Larger, longer-tailed and usually more rusty than Savannah Sparrow. Found in a variety of scrubby habitats both near and far from human development, especially edges of fields, often near water. Listen for husky "chimp" calls and melodic song with chips and trills. (eBird)

Always happy to see a Song Sparrow. This one is in fresh breeding plumage and looks great against the pale grey background of the Ottawa River.

Most of the cone flowers here have given way to the summer heat. Petals are dropping, cones are drooping over (sorta how I feel out in the humid hot summers of Arkansas). But found this lone cone in fairly good shape with the help of part day shade.

.... if the most exciting event is a nap on a shoe.
It has been raining almost all day which means that Cleo is comatose, Fynn is out all day and enjoys getting wet and Linus is bored. When I took some photos of shoes he joined me and eventually fell asleep on my props. There is another capture of the shoes in the comments. They belong to my niece Natalie who temporarily lives in Cleo's hibernation room in the basement. I love Natalie but what really drives me nuts is that she leaves her stuff everywhere, especially her shoes. As the weather was too bad for taking photos outdoors I thought I could just as well use the shoes for some photos, mainly in order to test different types of lighting. For the photo in the comments I used an external flash plus the softbox. It was really very dark and I think the lighting worked pretty well although I still needed the tripod. For the Linus photo I only used the softbox and a reflector, the flash was off.

The radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) is a species in the family Testudinidae. Although this species is native to and most abundant in southern Madagascar, it can also be found in the rest of this island and has been introduced to the islands of Réunion and Mauritius.
It is a very long-lived species, with recorded lifespans of at least 188 years. These tortoises are classified as critically endangered by the IUCN, mainly because of the destruction of their habitat and because of poaching. – Wikipedia
* One of the most extraordinary aspects of the city of Bologna is its amazing range of porticos. Today the historic centre of Bologna, that is to say the area included into the city walls of the thirteenth century, contains some 38 kilometres (23 miles) of porticos build during a long historic period from the eleventh to the twentieth century. It was very hot while we there but you could walk almost everywhere in the shade of these porticos. No doubt in bad weather you would be equally protected from rain and snow. Many Italian cities had extensive systems of porticos but most got rid of many of them to allow the roads to be widened. Bologna has chosen to put people before cars, which is a change. They are very pleasing to walk through, light and shadows constantly change under them. I took quite a few shots of these architectural features some of them will no doubt appear later in my stream.
