*[left-double-click for a closer-look - 6ft 7in wingspan!]
*[among the wading big-birds of our area with extremely
long-legs and extremely wide-wingspans; they seem to be
much BIGGER than the great-blue-herons and great-egrets]
*[looks like two adults and a juvenile. You
can't see it (here) but they have red heads]
*[when they get 'honking all together', even in-flight,
they are REALLY, REALLY LOUD! Fun to hear. LOL]
The Backstory: Not a very good shot of them, not very colorful, but this was a 'Lifer' for me, first time seeing them (flying) in the wild of The Florida Everglades. The sun was setting and shadowy darkness was settling in...but there they were, circling and circling and circling about a one-mile diameter for about a half-hour, and whooping-on-through REALLY LOUDLY, before they flew off. I could hear them all trumpeting-together from a half-mile away! Fun! Thanks for looking
Bluethroat......Blauwborst
I was not expecting the bluethroat in this spot and when he showed himself I wasn’t aware of my position while taken this shot. It was the only chance I’ve got but it turned out rather nice. It looks a bit like he is hiding behind the leaves

This is the gallery/coffee house I enjoyed in today.
We had the strangest light this morning, bit of sun and storm clouds rolling into the valley; it's supposed to snow tonight...
I thought these colors looked amazing in that pale light, could not resist clicking once. After this shot I left my camera in the car, just wanted to sit by the window and enjoy Saturday morning by doing nothing except sipping tea.
Hope your morning was as relaxing :)

Gorgeous Winter Solstice Dusk 360° 4π Spherical Panorama At Long Island New York Home - IMRAN™
Where In The World Is IMRAN? And where is Imran? Can you spot both in this full 360x360 spherical panorama I took tonight at my home marina in New York?
Another spectacular Long Island South Shore dusk at blessed home at Heron Pointe, East Patchogue, NY. The Great South Bay shimmers in shades of jade, blue, and gold while the clear sky is bordered by just the right amount of perfect clouds to make for a gold and red hot iron sun's farewell dusk. Created from a single photo taken with my Nikon KeyMission 360. I had to enhance the colors in Photoshop and used the clone tool very roughly to cover the wood piling I had set the camera on because I did not have a stand or tripod with me.

yea yea... it's kinda lame to post something from feb 03, 2005... but i like it... and my camera... loaded with new images... is all the way down in the car...
so... you have never seen this image anyway, as it is part of my personal "OneClick" project... well... most of you haven't seen it anyway...
wondering around canal park with keith and reuben... the entire evening photo shoot was a success... the colorful sky played a wonderful show for us that night...
I was born in the ruins of Berlin. My father found me two days later. He’d left his unit to find his pregnant wife and escape to the west. He found her, too. Under the half ton of rubble where the upper floors had cascaded into my parents’ small apartment. She’d lived long enough for me to enter the darkness of her tomb and take my first choking breath of air filled with plaster dust. I’m told that I was still suckling her breast when the wreckage was cleared, the beams were parted above us, and my father’s face looked in upon the poignant scene. I don’t remember any of it.
Which is strange. Because my first memory is from inside the womb.
Just before exiting the birth canal, I felt a tug on my feet. I remember thinking – yes, thinking – that it might prevent my birth. So I kicked. The tugging grew more forceful, so I kicked harder. That did the trick, and I was born...
I don’t know what happened to my father. I was raised by a young girl who lived in the same apartment block, and whose family were lost in the air raid and building collapse. She told me that I was in her arms when she woke one morning. I was wrapped in a shabby Wehrmacht feldbluse and looking directly in her eyes when they opened. Her first reaction was to gasp, she said, not from the surprise of waking with a newborn in her arms, but from the awareness she saw in the depths of that newborn’s focused gaze. The impression was that of having her grandfather’s eyes reading her soul... So she says. I don’t remember that either.
In fact my second memory is of a dream months later. At least I took it for a dream.
A lone bomber, silver in a blue sky, white vapor trails in fading lines... A speck detaching from it, falling... then lost against the blue...
The speck became visible again half a minute or so later.
Plummeting down from the sky was a little boy - no, a bomb - or both, somehow. And somehow the bomber was also a mother... a mother who'd bred her kid to become a clinical agent of mass destruction.
I watched the little boy/bomb from my hospital room as it streaked toward me. In seconds it had sheared off the corner of a building in the hospital grounds, demolishing a quarter of the structure, then buried itself in the earth, sending a shudder through the window that I felt deep in my chest. There was no explosion. The fins of the huge bomb - it was definitely a bomb, now - appeared to be intact, sticking out of the hole where the monster hit the ground.
Or...
An instant after locating the speck again in the sky, I was looking directly into the sun. Except it wasn't the sun, but something else... something done...
I remember that my eyes were open as I woke, the glaring sunlight blinding and hot on my face. I took this to be what I experienced in the dream. At least, I did until many years later, when I learned more about my vision.

This story began as a failed attempt to make the first line iambic pentameter... for a SF Sonnet. "I was born in the ruins of Berlin" refused to become iambic. So I had to write the tale as prose (and hopefully prose poetry, to some extent). It's an alternate history, as you might suspect from the parallel-but-divergent-threads dream - the (first) point of the split in the time streams. (The following occurred in the baseline - our own - time stream: Dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber named after a crewman's mother, Little Boy exploded over the Shima Surgical Hospital, about 185 yards from its intended target....).
[CAUTION: This next paragraph contains themes that may be disturbing to some.] [I'm one of them.]
The concept has spawned extensive research into the last months of WWII and post-WWII Germany (with a focus on Berlin) and Japan. I really don't want to write extensively, in detailed characterization, about the most horrific aspects of the fall of Germany and Berlin. The Red Army's weeks-long and repeated mass rape of 100,000+ (some estimate a twice that number) women in Berlin from ages 10 to 70 (or 8 to 80... you get the picture) did happen, but I sure have no interest in dramatizing it for this story. How I can deal with that and still write the tale I have to tell in a way that is true to actual events - that's the challenge I face, and what will determine whether there will be a chapter 2 posted here...
I already have strong swirls of a storyline for Chapter 2, as well as an outline of the divergent history (subject to change, but what I have is fairly detailed so far). We'll see if it all pans out before my attention gets captured by some other project... :)
BTW, the terms Stunde Null and Nachkriegszeit are concisely explained here. The Wikipedia article also has other terms you'll see in chapter 2 (if it comes to fruition).
Click here for more about this image and the series, SF Sonnets (although this particular work, Nachkriegszeit, as you can see, is prose or prose poerty, not a sonnet :D). The image is a gradient map alteration of a long-exposure photo I took, moving the camera, of a psychadelic oval-shaped lamp.
