This night photograph of the Jubilee Bridge (for pedestrians) and Esplanade Bridge (for road traffic) was taken from a spot near Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay looking towards Singapore’s Central Business District.

 

It was relatively windy evening which led to water movements in Marina Bay. The variety of architectural designs of the high-rise buildings provided an interesting skyline to complement that of the bridges.

Premièrement j'aimerais vous remercier toutes et tous pour vos merveilleux commentaires et favoris, ils sont très appréciés.

Je vous reviens encore avec cette superbe Chouette Lapone et mon unique soirée avec elle au printemps 2019 en sa compagnie. Certainement la meilleure séance que j'ai eu avec une Chouette Laponne à vie.

J'ai eu des courriels me demandant si cette chouette était nourrie et si je nourrissais . Et bien non aux deux questionnements, le groupe de 25 personnes qui était là était contre le nourrissage tout comme moi. Les captures plein cadre ou presque plein cadre sont tout simplement le choix ou hasard de mon positionnement par anticipation de ses déplacements et je n'ai et ne voulais aucunement nuire à sa chasse ni harcelée d'aucune façon. Je tenais tout simplement à faire le point sur le sujet. Je reviendrai plus tard avec d'autres photos de cette exceptionnelle rencontre qui m'a offert plus de 200 Shots.... Erreur sur la date de la signature !!!

I am back to you again with this beautiful Great Gray Owl and my only evening with her in the spring of 2019. Certainly the best photo session I had with a Great Gray Owl of my life.

I had emails asking if this owl was fed or if I was feeding. Well NO to the two questions, the group of 25 peoples who were there was against feeding just like me. The full frame shots or almost full frame shots are simply the choice or chance of my positioning ahead of here in anticipation of here next movements and I did not want to hinder here hunt or harassed here in any way. I just wanted to make my point on the subject.

I will come back later with other photos of this exceptional meeting which offered me more than 200 shots ....Mistake on signature date !

Movements in the water at dockside with a brilliant sun yielded this beautiful abstract.

They breed in Africa, central and southern Europe, southern and eastern Asia. The Western Palearctic populations migrate between breeding and wintering habitats whereas the African and tropical-Asian populations are primarily sedentary, except for occasional dispersive movements.

This blue hour photograph was taken from Esplanade looking in the direction of Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and ArtScience Museum, with the illuminated Helix Bridge leading into the Shoppes at MBS. It was a windy evening causing ripples in the bay. The photograph captured the movements of the water surface and reflections of the structures in the Bay.

Sunrise Tai Chi, Yishun Neighbourhood Park hilltop, Singapore. In parks and open spaces all over Singapore each morning many locals will practice this ancient Chinese discipline of meditative, gentle movements. Taken from a respectful distance and cropped later. In the background is a Women's Tai Chi group.

The story continues and the performers were outstanding and paying attention to detail with synchronised movements.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

 

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike

Scientific Name: Coracina novaehollandiae

Description: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes have a black face and throat, blue-grey back, wings and tail, and white underparts. They are slender, attractive birds. They have a curious habit of shuffling their wings upon landing, a practice that gave rise to the name "Shufflewing", which is often used for this species. This shuffling is also carried out by most other species in this family. Young birds resemble the adults, except the black facial mask is reduced to an eye stripe.

Similar species: Young Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may be confused with the White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Coracina papuenis, which also has a black eye stripe. However, this species is much smaller (26 - 28 cm).

Distribution: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is widespread and common. Outside the breeding season, large family groups and flocks of up to a hundred birds form.

Habitat: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is found in almost any wooded habitat, with the exception of rainforests. It is also familiar in many suburbs, where birds are often seen perched on overhead wires or television aerials.

Seasonal movements: Partially nomadic; some northwards migrations.

Feeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes feed on insects and other invertebrates. These may be caught in the air, taken from foliage or caught on the ground. In addition to insects, some fruits and seeds are also eaten.

Breeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may mate with the same partner each year, and may use the same territories year after year. The nest is remarkably small for the size of the bird. It is a shallow saucer of sticks and bark, bound together with cobwebs. Both partners construct the nest and care for the young birds.

Cuckoo-shrikes are neither cuckoos nor shrikes, but are so called because their feathers have similar patterns to those of cuckoos and their beak shape resembles that of shrikes.

Calls: The call most often heard is a soft churring, often being described as a warbling "creearck".

Minimum Size: 32cm

Maximum Size: 34cm

Average size: 33cm

Average weight: 112g

Breeding season: August to February; varies in more arid areas

Nestling Period: 21 days

Great Blue Heron gaining speed for liftoff

 

Perhaps it's my imagination, or perhaps it's the influence of the Jurassic Park trilogy. This running heron looks remarkably primitive, almost like a theropod dinosaur. It's astonishing how some of their features and movements seem to echo their dinosaur heritage. The long legs, streamlined bodies, and agile, predatory-like movements are evolutionary traits that remain discernible in modern-day birds.

 

It's intriguing to live in an era where we can understand how these adaptations have persisted and evolved over millions of years.

Thank you very muh for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers

 

Black-fronted Dotterel

Scientific Name: Elseyornis melanops

Description: The Black-fronted Dotterel is a small wader with a distinctive black face-mask and breast-band and prominent chestnut scapulars (shoulder feathers). In juveniles, the breast-band is initially absent but a brown band slowly appears as the bird develops. Legs are pink orange, and the bill is red with a black tip. The dark eye is ringed with red. In flight the wings look broad and the tail short, while the black and white contrast is striking. Flight is slow with almost hesitant wing beats. This species is also called the Black-fronted Plover.

Similar species: The adult and immature Black-fronted Dotterel are unmistakable, though the juvenile could be confused with the juvenile and immature Red-capped Plover.

Distribution: The Black-fronted Dotterel is widespread throughout Australasia.

Habitat: The Black-fronted Dotterel is found in the shallow margins of wetlands, lakes, rivers, sewage farms, storm drains and marshes. It is normally always near freshwater and is not often seen on the coast.

Seasonal movements: Breeding resident.

Feeding: The Black-fronted Dotterel eats small molluscs as well as aquatic and terrestrial insects. When it forages, it keeps its body horizontal while bobbing its head to look for food, often running then stopping suddenly to peck at food items.

Breeding: The Black-fronted Dotterel lays its eggs in a shallow scrape, often on pebbly ground and quite close to water. It may have more then one brood per year. Both parents incubate the eggs and look after the young.

Calls: Sharp 'tip' call, singular or repeated three or four times.

Minimum Size: 16cm

Maximum Size: 18cm

Average size: 17cm

Average weight: 32g

Breeding season: September to February

Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs

Incubation: 27 days

Nestling Period: 25 days

Four WE SD40-2's swing around a curve in the final few miles of their trip from Brewster back to the quarries at Carey.

 

Business continues to grow on the remaining section of the AC&Y with the opening of NGL Supply's Sycamore Terminal and new interchange traffic to the ASRY at Plymouth. Usually this section of the line sees 4 daily movements with the potential for up to 6 though most are usually after dark.

This shot really hard to do...hi...have nice week and wonderful time...take care...i love all your picture was sand to me...will comment son....

Purple Finch (Haemorhous purpureus)

 

Washington County, Maine, U.S.A.

 

Purple Finches are seed-eating songbirds that thrive on conifer seeds, buds, and berries, but will also sip nectar by piercing flowers at their base. They breed in northern forests and migrate southward in winter, though their movements are irregular and often influenced by food availability.

 

According to the IUCN Red List, the Purple Finch has an estimated 6,500,000 mature individuals with a population trend that is increasing.

In solidarity with the people of Ukraine and for a world without war

Silver Lake Viaduct in Pittsburgh's Larimer neighborhood is a prominent fixture showcasing a bygone era of masonry skills, being built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1902. Seeing and photographing a train across it had personally been one of my most sought after photos to get. On the morning of March 7th, I was able to accomplish that when the Norfolk Southern took a unit frac sand train down this on again, off again used piece of railroad to the Allegheny Valley Railroad interchange near the Allegheny River. Train movements prior to the fracking sand boom were extraordinarily rare, and movements across the Brilliant Branch in whole were even rarer.

 

When commuter trains were still was a regular thing in Pittsburgh, the Brilliant Branch stretched 4 tracks wide, featuring a flyover ramp build over top of the busy mainline in nearby Homewood. The flyovers purpose was being utilized by commuter trains and freight traffic bypassing the busy Penn Station at downtown Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania Railroad commuter trains came to an end in the early 1960’s and the flyover ramps were removed not there long after, going hand in hand with the greatly diminished use of Union Station. In 2025, the branch line which once played a critical role in keeping the railroads fluidity at their peak is down to a singular track and a wye at the junction of the Pittsburgh mainline. The branch has found use in more recent years, with trail activists along with the City of Pittsburgh's green initiatives pushing to turn this into a bike trail. An effort that later succeeded into accomplishing. Sometime in 2025 during the warmer weather months, this rail line will be removed for yet another hiking/biking trail connecting from nowhere to nowhere.

Thank you for visiting!

These three images I took of a mute swan as it was about to take off. I converted them into a minimalist looking b/w hope you like them!
