I owe this shot to my good friend Kenny Mullen. Story below👇
5 years ago Kenny and I were driving some backroads when he yelled “stop”. I didn’t see anything close by, so I asked what was up. Kenny replied “way out there in the distance!”. I scanned around the hills and couldn’t see anything, but then finally I saw it… We proceeded to get some memorable shots with our big lenses
Fast forward through the years and I’ve stopped to check this big glass comp many, many times (at least 30+). But it was never as good as when we first scored it
Deep down I knew that if the perfect conditions intersected this comp it could become magical. So, I stayed my course, and checked it often, but nothing much ever came of it
Then finally during this recent stretch-run of storms it all came together
I noticed the conditions were in the ball park one morning, so I got my 700mm ready, set up, and waited
But the clouds kept holding and very little light was getting through. After about 45 minutes I was about to give up… but then I noticed a dapple spotlight to the south of target moving in the direction I needed it to. I crossed my fingers and waited. Sure enough it intersected the comp perfectly, even providing a magical virga backdrop as it passed through. But just as quickly as it intersected, it was gone. The moment literally lasted a few seconds
I knew the moment I pressed the trigger that I had captured something amazing. This has now become one of my top 3 favorite shots I’ve ever captured up to this point
Thank you Kenny! Without your keen awareness I might have never seen the potential

- Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive and Chinese onion.
Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. China produces some 80% of the world supply of garlic.
The garlic plant's bulb is the most commonly used part of the plant. Garlic bulbs are normally divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. Garlic cloves are used for consumption (raw or cooked) or for medicinal purposes. They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
In folklore, garlic has been regarded as a force for both good and evil. In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic, perhaps owing to its reputation in folk medicine. Central European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against demons, werewolves, and vampires. To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows, or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.

The south square of the Cathedral, which owes its name to the goldsmiths' workshops located since the Middle Ages in the cloister's lower part, is dominated by the only Romanesque façade that the Cathedral has preserved. It dates from 1078 or 1103 and was severely damaged during the popular uprisings against Archbishop Gelmirez in the second decade of the 12th century, so it was rebuilt a few years later. In the following centuries, more Romanesque figures were added from the so-called Gate of Paradise, on the north side of the Cathedral, to create a richly iconographic ensemble.
In the centre of the square, the Fountain of the Horses stands against the backdrop of the Casa del Cabildo, decorated with geometric motifs typical of Compostela's Baroque style. It is a real stone curtain barely three metres deep, erected by the architect Fernández Sarela in 1758, with the intention of closing off the square in an almost theatrical manner.
To its left, at the start of the Rúa do Vilar, is the Casa del Deán (Dean's House). This 18th century house-palace, the work of Fernández Sarela, was used as accommodation for the bishops who visited the city.

Foto presa amb una KMZ FT-2 soviètica, fabricada el 1965; Kodak Ektar 100.
La vila occitana de Concas (Conques, en francès) és una de les més boniques de França. Es tracta d'una important població medieval, afavorida per ser un punt important de pas del Camí de Sant Jaume. I ella mateixa tenia el seu propi peregrinatge, en les reliquies de Santa Fe.
Aquí podeu veure Concas des del mirador de Le Bancarel, al altre cantó de la vall. La vista és espectacular i val molt la pena.
Recordo com el meu pare volia anar-hi en alguna ocasió que varem estar per Occitania, però no va poguer ser. Ara com a minim m'he tret aquesta espina.

======================
Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1965; Kodak Ektar 100 film.
Concas (Conques in French) is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved medieval towns in France. It owes it's fame and richness to the church of Ste. Foy, and above all, being an important stage in the Way of St. James.
Here you can see the village from the Le Bancarel viewpoint, on the other side of the valley.
My late father always wanted to visit this place, so at least now I've been there.
I could spend everyday in the Bison Range. This was my first (two) visits since the land was restored to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on the Blackfeet Reservation. It had been under the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service (the people who run the National Wildlife Refuges).
There was really no issue with *how* it was run under the federal government. The issue was that it should never have been federal at all, but simply part of the reservation (we're talking legally here, not morally).
Now, to the casual visitor, there's very little outward difference. The Flathead National flag flies above the visitor center. The pamphlets focus upon *all* of the history of the area - both tribal and white. The names of many of the hills and streams are in both English and Salish.
As to where the bison herds are, that was always dependent upon the bison. Some days you could drive the loop and see only one or two. Other times, you'd see dozens all over. There are also antelope, elk, coyotes, and any number of birds (including magpie!).
If you're traveling though Montana, you owe it to yourself to spend a couple of hours exploring the Bison Range.

Louvignies Castle
Louvignies castle is said to owe its origin to a tower built in the 8th century, the Tour des Sarrasins. This tower would have been used to keep an eye on the traffic on the road from Brunehaut.
In 1716, the estate passed into the hands of the current owner's family by marriage. The current Louvignies château acquired its final appearance in 1875, after eight years of renovation work by Count Léon de Villegas de Saint-Pierre and his wife Ferdinande de Maillen. Count Léon gave up his diplomatic career in 1880 to become mayor of Louvignies.
The castle has 60 rooms and houses a wealth of family portraits, works of art, furniture and curiosities from the 19th century.
Countess Albertine de Villegas, the last descendant of the de Villegas de Saint-Pierre family, had no children. She adopted Jean-Marie de Moreau de Villegas and left him the chateau when she died in 1971.
Today, Florence de Moreau de Villegas de Saint-Pierre owns the chateau.
A few times a year, the castle opens its doors to the public.
------------------------------
Het kasteel van Louvignies zou zijn oorsprong te danken hebben aan een toren die in de 8ste eeuw werd gebouwd, de tour des Sarrasins. Die toren zou het verkeer op de heerbaan van Brunehaut in de gaten hebben gehouden.
In 1716 kwam het domein door een huwelijk in de handen van de familie van de huidige eigenares. Het huidige kasteel van Louvignies kreeg zijn definitieve uitzicht in 1875, na een verbouwing die acht jaar duurde onder impuls van graaf Léon de Villegas de Saint-Pierre en zijn echtgenote Ferdinande de Maillen. Graaf Léon gaf in 1880 zijn diplomatieloopbaan op om burgemeester te worden van Louvignies.
Het kasteel telt 60 kamers en herbergt een schat aan familieportretten, kunstwerken, meubelen en rariteiten uit de negentiende eeuw.
Gravin Albertine de Villegas, de laatste afstammeling van het geslacht de Villegas de Saint-Pierre, had geen kinderen, zij adopteerde Jean-Marie de Moreau de Villegas en liet hem bij haar dood in 1971 het kasteel na.
Momenteel is Florence de Moreau de Villegas de Saint-Pierre eigenares van het kasteel.
Een paar keer per jaar opent het kasteel de deuren voor het publiek.

My parents started taking me and my brothers walking and then climbing over 50 years ago; a 20 minute break in the snow clouds reminded me of what I owe.
This isolated hexagonal apartment block by modernist architect Puig i Cadafalch owes its nickname, Casa de les Punxes (house of the tips), to the needles of its six towers, shaped like a witch's hat.
United Kingdom, London, Battersea Powesr Station, Winter 2023.
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout. The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The station provided a fifth of London's electricity needs. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals where the station was photographed with a inflatable pink pig floating between the two front chimneys.

214) Milky Stork
Milky Stork, Mycteria cinerea, Upeh Bakau
This is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This species occurs in Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sumbawa and Sulawesi. The milky stork can be found in coastal regions and favors mangroves and low-saline swamps of these areas. They feeds on fish, amphibians, small rodents, prawns, and crabs. It finds its food on mudflats, saltwater pools, freshwater marshes, ponds, and rice fields. It is classified as Endangered owing to loss of coastal habitat as well as hunting and trade. The storks' habitats are being diminished by logging and farming. In some areas, the birds, eggs, and chicks are being taken for domestication, food, or trade. Efforts are being made to boost the bird's population to prevent it from going extinct. In Malaysia, programs have been instated to breed the storks domestically and release them into the wild. In Perak, Malaysia, actions are being taken to create laws of protection for the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserves.
Burung Upeh Bakau diklasifikasikan sebagai terancam kerana habitatnya yang semakin menghilang selain diburu. Burung ini kini dibiakkan dalam program-program konservasi di Matang, Kuala Gula, malah di Putrajaya dan Zoo Negara
...Manchester owes its prosperity initially to the Ship Canal which brought ships directly into the heart of the city...and the Rochdale canal did a similar job on a smaller scale for the textile industries of West Yorkshire. Another in HB.
Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:
If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.
A swathe of English Bluebells fill the floor of a wood, in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
I found this wood quite by chance. The Bluebells are in full bloom even though its late for them. [ June 5th ] Im certain that owing to the shade of the trees, it has caused a late flowering.
The intensity of the colour is truly mind blowing! Im going back during the week for another fix! These truly wild bluebells are naturally occurring andthey are much older than the oaks which were planted here.
Hope you like,
Pat.
I owe this one to Andy Rouse, this is a crop of a previous shot called First Light, Andy had an almost identical shot but cropped it like this and called it First Light II, I liked his version more than my first one so hence First Light III.
I have a book, written nearly a hundred years ago called Bird Facts and Fallacies by Lewis Loyd (1927). He says that like the Robin and Swallow, the Crossbill is said to owe its red plumage to drops of Christ's blood which fell upon it during its efforts to ease his agony on the cross. It goes on to say that it is believed, particularly by peasants across certain parts of the Continent, that the crossed beak resulted from its efforts to remove the nails from Christ's hands and feet, and remains as evidence of those efforts. Also, on many parts of the Continent realistic representations of the crucifixion may be seen by the roadside. Locals (he calls them natives) say that Crossbills may often be seen striving to pull out the nails by which the image is suspended.
I found this same story in another old bird book (Bird Lore by CE Hare 1952) which also has a three verse German poem translated by Longfellow describing this legend. I won't quote the whole poem but "At the ruthless nail of iron, a little bird is striving there" are a couple of lines from it.
I photographed this red male Crossbill not far from home a few weeks back. If you zoom right in on the beak you can just see the crossed tip of the lower mandible protruding.
Half ower, half ower to Aberdour,
It's fifty fathom deep,
And thair lies guid Sir Patrick Spens,
Wi the Scots lords at his feet.
Honors Park in South Daytona is a lovely place, tucked back away from where many people go. This is mostly a locals only park, owing to its seclusion at the end of a side street. it is small, and has limited wildlife, although I have gotten some wonderful duck shots there! The flowers are nice, and colors on a sunny day like this one are stunning.
I am fortunate to live in an area that is graced by many local parks. this offers a place to relax as well as providing me with beautiful photos. Not many towns have as many parks as you find in the Daytona area. Tiny South Daytona has several, all but one of them small, but most are really lovely!
The City of Loreto, in the Marche Region, where I live, owes its fame to the Basilica where the Santa Casa della Vergine Maria (Shrine of the Holy House of the Virgin Mary) is preserved and venerated. It is a holy place defined by Pope John Paul II as “the true Marian heart of Christianity”.
