Large gray-brown honeyeater with a completely bare black head and a distinctive "horn" on the bill. Upperparts are gray and underparts are dull white. Completely bare head is unique among the friarbirds. Typically very loud; emits a variety of harsh, loud squawks. Inhabits a wide range of habitats in eastern Australia, including (especially) open forests and gardens and parks, where it is common. (eBird)
Can be very noisy, almost deafening when in large numbers; considered one of the noisiest birds in savanna of S New Guinea. (Birds of the World, Cornell Lab of Ornithology)

We saw these interesting birds a few times on the trip. They are very active and like to interact with each other. For a change, this one was resting for a bit, and I got to admire his ruff and the horn on his bill.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is numbers.
As you can see, Mr. Egg is obsessed with numbers… Since he gained a little bit of weight, he can’t stop measuring himself… He takes note of all the numbers each day. Unfortunately for Mr. Egg, even with all the efforts he makes in order to lose some weight, the numbers are still the same (or almost)… Maybe Mr.Egg’s metabolism has slowed down…or maybe it is hormonal … or maybe it is both… or maybe Mr. Egg eats too much Nutella on his cheat days… We will never know. However, Mr. Egg is very motivated to bring those numbers down before going back to work in few weeks…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in profile close-up. The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes and is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It typically scavenges on carcasses. Although this is a common species, numbers of these birds are decreasing rapidly. Threats include poisoning, hunting and loss of habitat, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "critically endangered". It is a small species compared to most vultures.

Arithmophobia or Numerophobia is the exaggerated, constant and often irrational fear of numbers. The words Arithmophobia and Numerophobia both have Latin/Greek origins where the root word stands for numbers, and phobos is Greek for “deep aversion or fear”.
The fear of numbers can place many restrictions on the phobic’s life and may even affect his standard of living. Specific number phobias like the fear of number 13 or 666 etc could be fuelled by cultural or religious beliefs or even TV shows and movies about them. She/he often feels embarrassed to admit the problem causing one to become socially withdrawn. Hereditary, genetic factors and brain chemistry can sometimes lead to this phobia.

Monday morning numbers...
You will sing it when you read it and it will be in your head for a while :-)
Two of my trusty rules to get the size of the macros frames, one steel rule and the other an inside/outside caliper done in inches and mm which makes it super easy to convert inch to mm. This was an 1-5/8 inch frame or 41mm.
They are everywhere these days.

Just a simple close-up shot of the corners of £20, £5 and £10 notes. I don’t love money but love the designs and colours on banknotes wherever I come across them around the world.
A foreground feature to catch interest, a nice colour in the sky to fill the background and some smooth water to fill in the gaps. I know it’s all very formulaic and landscape photography by the numbers, but you know what, I’ve been doing this for years now and I still like the formula. I still find myself mesmerised by a beautiful sunset and find it invigorating to get up before the sunrise to see the stunning dawn to a new day. I wish I had more free time to catch nature’s lightshows but for now I’ll get out there when I can and hope to catch a few images worth sharing. Even if they are a bit formulaic!

Lyrics:
Great titles do nothing Beautiful slogans mean nothing Love is a sentimental hodgepodge Write, look, die, fight, then lose it We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens Great titles do nothing They'll not see their own pride The ego got lost in its thoughts, exits, profits Too much loss In love with numbers, drinks, exposed to another shot This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens
This photo is nearly organic :). I took it RAW so it naturally came trough some editing but I didn't do anything distinct with it, just slightly tuned the colour and the light balances. Nevertheless it looks like a HDR image, why? I think the reasons are the streetlamp light and especially the thin layer of snow which lies on all the surfaces, windows, sails, booms and boards.
The red series of numbers in the background is a work of environmental city art. It's maybe the most mainline landmark in Turku city. It looks pretty tiny here but actually it's quite large scale stuff, it has been fixed on the side of the smokestack of a power plant. The name of the work is "Fibonacci Sequence 1–55". It has been innovated and designeg by a famous italian artist Mario Merz.
Here is some information about the fibonacci sequence in mathematics. With these numbers we dance around the golden ratio, which is a very important variable in art and photography, maybe the most important.
