I think juncos are the most common/numerous bird where I live, so I rarely take photos of them. However, last year I was jealous of my neighbors a couple hundred yards away who had a family of blond juncos in the yard for several weeks. We thought they had moved on, but I saw one near their house again about a week ago, and this afternoon one appeared in my yard. As you can see its coloring is very unusual.
It looks to me more like some kind of weird genetic variation than leucism, since there's nothing splotchy about the coloration, and in addition to the clearly white wing and tail feathers, the rest of the bird is more blond and beige than anything else. Anyway, I'm very happy to have finally photographed it. And if you know what to call this, please let me know. Abnormally colored dark-eyed junco, backyard Olympia.
There are numerous places on Earth that receive rainfall less than even 0.76 mm annually. From Bolivia’s Salt Flats To Chile’s Atacama Desert is the driest place on Earth (if you exclude the poles). The average rainfall in the region is about 15 millimeters (0.6 inches) per year.

Numerous theories attempt to explain the symbolism and purpose of the 14th century Patio de Los Leones at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, The 12 marble lions supporting an alabaster basin here are among the most iconic images of Islamic art in the world.
Heavenly Capital Peak is about 1829 metres high. Situated in the south east of the Huangshan, it is one of the 3 major peaks of the range.
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is a jagged range of more than 70 knife-like peaks in eastern China’s Anhui province. The region's low-hanging clouds, distinctively shaped granite rocks and twisted pine trees have been subjects of numerous classical paintings and poems. Cable cars provide access to several peaks, and steep paved trails with thousands of stone steps snake past many of the range's famous viewpoints. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.

Portovenere - La Chiesa di San Pietro
Nota per la sua antica architettura, è famosissima per le sue particolari valenze panoramiche e paesaggistiche: posta a strapiombo sul mare, la chiesa è oggetto di numerose e celebri fotografie. Costituita da due edifici collegati: l’uno di stile gotico più recente; l’altro romanico, molto più antico. L’edificio più antico, incluso nel perimetro della chiesa ne è parte integrante, a pianta rettangolare con l’abside semicircolare ha l’asse longitudinale correttamente orientato a levante, ne consegue ovviamente che quello medioevale, in forma del tutto inusuale, volge a sud la sua abside quadrata. L’edificio più recente iniziato nel 1256 e terminato nel 1277 secondo il disegno originale doveva essere condotta a tre navate sopra l’area spianta della vecchia chiesa, questo progetto fu poi modificato e i due templi furono collegati mediante due arcate a tutto sesto aperte nel muro della chiesa antica. L’ interno è decorato da larghe fasce bianche e nere e il presbiterio è dotato di due cappelle laterali quadrate coperte da volte ogivali. La torre campanaria, contrariamente al corpo dell’edificio che si presenta avaro di vuoti, si apre all’esterno presentando in ordini sovrapposti delle bifore che ne alleggeriscono l’ imponente mole. Per la tecnica ardimentosa della sua struttura e per la fine eleganza scultorea è una delle costruzioni esemplari dell’architettura gotico genovese in Liguria.

Portovenere - The Church of San Pietro
Known for its ancient architecture, it is very famous for its particular panoramic and landscape values: located overlooking the sea, the church is the subject of numerous famous photographs. Made up of two connected buildings: one in the more recent Gothic style; the other Romanesque, much older. The oldest building, included in the perimeter of the church and an integral part of it, has a rectangular plan with a semicircular apse and has a longitudinal axis correctly oriented to the east. It obviously follows that the medieval one, in a completely unusual shape, faces south. its square apse. The most recent building begun in 1256 and finished in 1277 according to the original design was to have three naves above the open area of the old church, this project was then modified and the two temples were connected by two round arches opened in the wall of the ancient church. The interior is decorated with wide black and white bands and the presbytery has two square side chapels covered by ogival vaults. The bell tower, unlike the body of the building which is stingy with voids, opens to the outside presenting overlapping rows of mullioned windows which lighten its imposing mass. Due to the daring technique of its structure and the fine sculptural elegance it is one of the exemplary constructions of Genoese Gothic architecture in Liguria.

Today's edition of Armchair Traveling takes me back to our time on the Amazon River near Iquitos, Peru. We visited a floating "zoo" - a shack where numerous uncaged rainforest animals were being held captive for our viewing pleasure. The toucans obviously hung around because of the frequent handouts of food from the visitors. If you sat near him, he would tap your shoulder reminding you that he expected a tidbit.
The abbey bells are automatically controlled these days; but in the past a brother would access the bells numerous times a day via the doors in this tower.

Hanging Rock contains numerous distinctive rock formations, including the "Hanging Rock" itself (a boulder suspended between other boulders, under which is the main entrance path), the Colonnade, the Eagle and the UFO. The highest point on Hanging Rock is 718 metres above sea level and 105 metres above the plain below.
Hanging Rock (also known as Mount Diogenes, Dryden's Rock, and to some of its traditional owners as Ngannelong) is a distinctive geological formation in central Victoria, Australia. A former volcano, it lies 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon.
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon and, to the east, Crozier's Rocks. All three mamelons are composed of soda trachyte. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.

I've shot this lighthouse on the coast of Maine numerous times at night, and on this particular night I was teaching a workshop and standing out of the way so the students could move around as they needed. I setup and just shot for fun, continuing to play with and test out the Nikon D5 at different exposure settings at night and helping the students as needed. I didn't think I'd come away with something interesting that I hadn't captured before here, but a small patch of clouds passed overhead and ending up making for a nice atmospheric touch to the scene.
The light rays coming out of the lighthouse are real, the light (as in many lighthouses) is so directional and bright that you can see this wagon-wheel type effect with your naked eye looking up at the lighthouse when it blinks.
And to answer a question I get asked all the time, the lighthouse is not blowing out the scene completely because it is a blinking light, blinking twice every 8 or 9 seconds. A constant on light would have been much more difficult to work with.
Normally I use the "star stacking" technique of shooting a bunch of exposures at a short enough shutter speed to capture pinpoint stars, usually 10 seconds x 10 exposures, and then stack & blend them in Starry Landscape Stacker (available for Mac) to get both pinpoint stars and low noise, but in this case I ended up using a single 20 second exposure because I liked the look of the clouds in the 20 second exposure vs the effective 100 seconds that 10 x 10 gave me, where the clouds streaked out very smoothly and lost their texture.
Nikon D5, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm. One shot for the sky at ISO 3200, f/2.8, 20 seconds, and one shot for the lighthouse at ISO 1600, f/5.6, 4 minutes. Following my usual workflow, the images were prepped in Lightroom, and then blended and finished with creative edits in Photoshop.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the U.S.! It's been another heckuva year but there is still much for which to be thankful.
Originally created for deer hunting, Richmond Park now has 630 red and fallow deer that roam freely within much of the park. A cull takes place each November and February to ensure numbers can be sustained about 200 deer are culled annually and the meat is sold to licensed game dealers.Some deer are also killed in road accidents, through ingesting litter such as small items of plastic, or by dogs; three deer were killed by dogs in 2012.Many of the deer in Richmond Park are infected with a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi which can be transmitted to humans through a tick bite, causing Lyme disease.
The park is an important refuge for other wildlife, including woodpeckers, squirrels, rabbits, snakes, frogs, toads, stag beetles and many other insects plus numerous ancient trees and varieties of fungi. It is particularly notable for its rare beetles.
Richmond Park supports a large population of what are believed to be ring-necked (or rose-ringed) parakeets. These bred from birds that escaped or were freed from captivity.

The fog on Monhegan Island was so surreal. I wondered if the birds knew where they were going. I think it caused migrating birds to drop in as there were large numbers of them at times that seemed disoriented. Some warblers were so tiny....all wet from the fog and if I stood very still they would land on me......especially the numerous parulas. Fortunately most seemed to begin feeding in the low vegetation after resting for several minutes. I don't know if they can navigate through such high, thick fog. This image was taken at one of the highest points on the island.
I've been adding more images than usual as I will be traveling for 2+ weeks. I will be able to comment with my cell but won't have a computer to post. I wish I hadn't been so busy and could have posted birds I shot on the island when the fog would clear for short periods.....but that will have to wait.

The wooden church of Urnes is a 12th-century stave church at Ornes, Norway, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is the oldest of its kind in the country, bringing together traces of Celtic art, Viking traditions and Romanesque spatial structures, according to whc.unesco.org/en/list/58.
There have been numerous attempts to interpret the iconography of the church's most remarkable part, the old portal in the northern wall, a carved decoration of interlaced, fighting animals. Some believe it portrays the eternal fight between good and evil. Others – that it shows scenes from Norse mythology, with the intertwined snakes and dragons representing the end of the world according to the Norse legend of Ragnarök.
We knew that the church is a must see on our trip to Norway, and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. It is difficult to convey that with photos, but I had to try.
This is #1 (of 3) where you can appreciate the scale of the wooden carvings.

There are numerous tree-lines and copses on Penrith golf course, backs onto the Beacon Woods. With the freezing temperatures the hoar frost gives an appearance of fallen snow. This little copse caught my eye posing nicely, like a decoration on a cake!
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Riomaggiore is a village and comune in the province of La Spezia, situated in a small valley in the Liguria region of Italy. It is the first of the Cinque Terre one meets when travelling north from La Spezia.
The village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards. Riomaggiore is in the Riviera di Levante region and has shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa, with a small beach and a wharf framed by tower houses. Riomaggiore's main street is Via Colombo, where numerous restaurants, bars and shops can be found.
The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola, also part of the Cinque Terre.
Riomaggiore is the most southern village of the five Cinque Terre, all connected by trail. The water and mountainside have been declared national parks.
I had previously posted of numerous shot of Toronto's skyline from Polson Pier but I have not included the Algontario ship with it. I walked a little further to the pier parking lot to get the composition of the ship with the city. It was warm and the gentle air was perfect creating such calmness in the Lake.

The water feature at the Museum of the American Indian has been flowing great lately. I know they worked on this fountain recently like they routinely have to do on the numerous fountains and water features in DC (of which there are many). As of this morning, 3 fountains that I visited around the National Mall were not running. Some water features seem permanently derelict, most notably the enormous Columbus fountain outside Union Station, dry for a decade and futilely awaiting a $10 million overhaul. That one was built in 1912 with the waterworks buried within the sculpture; getting to the pipes will take not just plumbers but art conservators.
Single exposure RAW. I did some light painting of the foreground in this image. I had a headlamp with me in my bag and covered the 3 lamp lenses with a white microfiber lens cloth. It provided very soft illumination and seemed to highlight the flowing water with just the right amount of light. Processed in Photoshop and finished with NIK plugins. Thanks for looking!
Moritzburg Palace - one of the numerous German castles on the water.
It was built between 1542-1546 as a hunting palace for Prince Maurice Wettyn.
In the years 1723 and 1733, at the request of Augustus II Strong, the elector of Saxony and the king of Poland, the castle was rebuilt and was erected park so that it could serve as a leisure area.

Yes, it's come to this. For lack of other subject matter, I spent a few minutes photographing this coot. They're so numerous, I just always skip over them. But on my rather brisk walk today at the lake, there didn't seem to be a lot of opportunity. And I do love their feet. The lake level had risen so much from recent rains (hard to believe, I know) that the shoreline I usually walk along was pretty much gone, so I had to watch this bird from the elevated path.

Cabo Carvoeiro is located over the Atlantic Ocean, in Peniche (Leiria, Portugal). It represents a place of great value, with a wide variety of calcarian cliffs, highly eroded and field of "lapiás". It is one of the most western points of Portugal (in the Continent), north the Cabo da Roca. Here the lighthouse of Cabo Carvoeiro was built, 25 mts of height, due to the numerous ship wrecks that used to occur around this place.

On the way to start a bushwalk on the South of the Island, it was hard to resist climbing the numerous steps required at the Big Hummock Lookout to take advantage of the early,clear and crisp morning light. Here we are looking towards the South of the island, the ocean beach off to the left is in Adventure Bay ( where Captain Cook moored !! ) which is off the Tasman Sea. To the right is the 'sheltered' side of Isthmus Bay which runs off the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. The headland off to the far left is Fluted Cape and inclement weather can be seen towards the far Southern parts of the island.

In the year 2034 numerous nuclear outbreak in Japan and the wear of poverty in north Korea take its toll on the countries, leaving them deprived of resources essential to their growth. This did not go unnoticed by the newly brought up Chinese Empire. They took this to their advantage in offering to share the plentiful resources that they owned in their country (as a result or their industrial change) in return for alliance with the country’s military power and overlook of their political movements. Korea refused, however out of sheer desperately, the government of Japan agreed. China gains a mild control over Japan and develops a bridge colony that connects the two countries together, However the two’s relationship remains delicate.
In the year 2045 the bridge colony of the Chinese Empire, remains a neutral ground for both Japan and the various military governments of the opposing Asian countries beyond China. This lay as the only structure of support in China’s and Japan's unstable relationship.
Bridge colony is a floating cityscape developed by china. It lies in the space of water that separates Japan, China and Korea. It also acts as a bridge for supplies resources workers and Intel. The sheer resources and man power of China provide Japan with plentiful to get by.
The Edge of dust and the brink of war
After the reluctant agreement to side with The Chinese Empire, Japan took to lurking within the safe confinements of its own boarders, it accepted supplies graciously, whilst the shadow of hatred lurked within their eyes. The Japanese government didn’t take lightly the Idea of siding with that which should be considered an enemy and thus fuelled by the fires of the past, Japan began to plan their rebel.
Under the looming eye of the Chinese empire, Japan played safe. They carried out acts through their dwindling military power as a set-up, acting as a blindfold to the Chinese, thus making them oblivious to what was going on under there very noses. Japan separated itself as a secret PMC in their own country, Known as the Japanese Liberation Guild.
February 2 2045 1:35AM
The late winter air hurtles through the age torn structure of the Bridge colony. The people take shelter from the cold. The crowded streets become scarce of activity. Offcourse The Japanese Liberation Guild Did not programme their drones to “feel”. Chinas fatal mistake was its pride of power, they wouldn’t expect retaliation from Japan. They Chinese Empire thought that the supply of resources would act as a safeguard to prevent what it chose to shut out of its mind. Revenge. On February 2nd 2045 The Bridge Colony is stormed by Japan. Their troops are already thick within the city by the time the Chinese Empire is fully made aware of their presence.

It is five bays wide at ground level, with more numerous windows higher up, with projecting bay windows higher up to the left and right ends, and a modest central portico with some slight emphasis given by a projection of the bay immediately above. Higher up – there are five storeys above the ground floor including the dormers – are a long balcony and pointy roofs.The whole is in terra cotta and red brick, and with the lower buildings to left and right of the same materials, appears to be the central portion of a larger edifice. It is the work of Grayson, of the architectural partnership of Grayson and Ould (who were also responsible for the next building along, once the Queen Insurance Building), and was put up in 1888-1890.
The building decoration, which is what is of interest to these pages, includes moulded sculptural ornament in terra cotta, and, less usually, a mosaic frieze. This latter consists of three long, narrow panels above the first floor, and to left and right of these, triangular panels next to the bases of the projecting bay windows. The central panel shows the company name on a twisted ribbon, with the flags of Liverpool and England to left and right. The panels to left and right show shipping. That to the left shows two sailing ships and a grand ocean liner to the left, with a sunrise in the background; that to the right has three more ancient boats, including a galleon. All three panels have much gold mosaic in the background, to help light up the thin panels. The triangular panels, sort of upside down spandrels, as it were, contain dolphins in Roman style.
British & Foreign Marine was one of the leading marine insurers in Liverpool, England in the second half of the nineteenth century, at one point claiming to have the largest reserves of any marine insurer in Europe. It was acquired by Royal Insurance in 1909 but continued as an independent entity for several decades.
We came across numerous Blue Birds today, in Contra Loma. It was a beautiful day at Contra Loma once the overcast skies cleared and the sun shone through. The brilliant blue-and-rust Western Bluebirds sit on low perches and swoop lightly to the ground to catch insects. Deep blue, rusty, and white, males are considerably brighter than the gray-brown, blue-tinged females.
Numerous lightning-caused wildfires in the area and throughout the state of Alaska. Acreage is not unprecedented, but the sheer numbers of wildfires is fairly impressive.

The Cappadocia region is a historical and tourist central Anatolia, Turkey.
The most distinctive features of the region are the unique geological formations, the result of volcanic phenomena and erosion, and its rich historical and cultural heritage, including numerous underground cities and houses and churches carved into the rock, with many of these admirable fresh. In 1985, the Göreme National Park, one of the most famous areas of the region, with 9576 ha, was declared World Heritage by UNESCO.

The former splendour of Torcello’s numerous palazzi, its twelve parishes and its sixteen cloisters has almost disappeared since the Venetians recycled the useful building material. The only remaining medieval buildings form an ensemble of four edifices.
Today's main attraction is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in 639 and with much 11th and 12th century Byzantine work, including mosaics (e.g. a vivid version of the Last Judgement), surviving. Other attractions include the 11th and 12th century Church of Santa Fosca, which is surrounded by a porticus in form of a Greek cross, and the Museo Provinciale di Torcello housed in two fourteenth century palaces, the Palazzo dell'Archivio and the Palazzo del Consiglio, which was once the seat of the communal government. Another noteworthy sight for tourists is an ancient stone chair, known as Attila’s Throne. It has, however, nothing to do with the king of the Huns, but it was most likely the podestà’s or the bishop’s chair. Torcello is also home to a Devil's Bridge, known as the Ponte del Diavolo or alternatively the Pontecello .

There are numerous Gull and shorebird species that feast on the tiny, greenish Horseshoe Crab eggs here every spring, but their survival is not dependent on the crabs like the Red Knots. This Laughing Gull was trying to ward off other hungry birds so it could be first to feast when the crab was finished depositing its eggs. Every year 70-80% of the "rufa" subspecies of Knots stop at Delaware Bay where the competition is intense for the eggs. Severe harvesting bans are direly needed along the eastern seaboard to increase the population of crabs to aid the Knots.
The slow motion coupling of the crabs is compelling to see when you contemplate how critical it is to the Red Knot's survival. Iconic Red Knot B95 was seen again this spring. His age of over 20 years is the oldest recorded banding and he is affectionately named Moonbird because his lifetime migration equals 1 1/2 times the distance between earth and the moon. Hopefully the Red Knot population will increase so many will be able to thrive and reach such a milestone.
