Outside of the Chenek campsite in the fabulous Simien Mountains, Ethiopia.
Red Eyed Crocodile Skink. These lizards looks like a miniature crocodile rather than a species of skink. The body scales are rough, with three hard, spiky projections running along their back down to the tip of the tail. The eyes are unique with a red/orange ring around the eye socket and yellow in the corner of the eye.

Thanks for the comments.
It was my intent to post this for lonely bench Monday but I worked until midnight and turned around and started my week 6 hours later. I'm working very long hours Sat. and Sunday as well so what the heck, gotta get the Fall pics out there before the snow buries us all. :-)
The title was prompted by the fact that I have two shots that I LOVE of this bench, this one better reflects my mood though, the distance putting me away from the scene and also represents how I feel about missing out on you folks. I'm working next weekend too so pffft! I'll peek in as often as I can, meanwhile, happy Friday, hope all is well with you. :-)
Violets (Violas) are a genus of Spring flowering plants in the family Violaceae. [...] The word 'Violet' comes from the Latin name 'Viola'. [...].
True Violets have been known for centuries with the ancient Greeks cultivating them about 500 BC or earlier. Both the Greeks and the Romans used Violets for all sorts of things such as herbal remedies, wine ('Vinum Violatum'), to sweeten food and for festivals.
Über den Bahnhof meines Dörfchens schrieb ich schon (s.unten) . Hier gibts noch eine uncolorierte Version.
The Lower Christine Falls (seen in comments) gets most of the attention. The Upper Falls is more challenging to shoot, plus one must stand on the busy Christine Falls bridge while capturing this 32' beauty.
For comparison, the Lower Falls shown below drops 37'.
Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated.
It's a grand old metaphor.
The tree is old and straggly.
I'm old and straggly.
The tree has lost it's foliage.
I've lost my foliage.
The tree is standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
I'm standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
The tree has a big branch pointing skyward.
I have.........
And so the poor metaphor endeth.
This is directly opposite the Frolicking Field, just outside The Middle of Nowhere, South Australia, Australia.
Sorry I haven't been round to visit everyone. I'm slowly getting there.

With the black & white image I'd taken at this point, I wanted to focus more on the tonal contrast of this setting on the banks of the Merced River. With a color image though, I wanted to bring out more of the vibrant colors I saw that late afternoon. And with the colors, it wasn't just so much in the different shades of green in the nearby trees; it was also the different colors and textures in the mountainsides. Looking to the left part of the image, one can see El Capitan with its rock face and the structure and feel in the mountainside. Off to the image right is the roaring waters of Bridalveil Fall with the nearby towering peaks of Cathedral Rocks. The whole setting is of colors and textures...and sounds of nature!
De Bahama pijlstaart leeft in de zoete en brakke wetlands van Zuid-Amerika.
Hij eet er kleine waterdieren, algen en waterplanten.
Hoewel mannetje en vrouwtje op het eerste gezicht sterk op elkaar lijken, kun je ook enkele verschillen zien.
Het mannetje is iets groter en wat feller gekleurd.
Ook is zijn staart iets langer.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the main international airport of the Netherlands, located about 9 km of Amsterdam. Schiphol Airport is an important European airport. Schiphol's name is derived from a former fortification named Fort Schiphol, which was part of the Stelling van Amsterdam defence works. Before 1852, the Haarlemmermeer polder in which the airport lies was a large lake with some shallow areas. There are totally six runways. The sixth runway was completed at quite some distance west of the rest of airport in 2003 and was nicknamed the Polderbaan. The name was decided via contest. Polder is the Dutch word for land reclaimed from a body of water. Schiphol Airport is situated in a polder. Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase. For aviation enthusiasts, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has a large rooftop viewing area, called the Panoramaterras. Besides the Panoramaterras, Schiphol has other spotting sites, especially along the newest Polderbaan runway.
The newest runway of Schiphol Amsterdam opened 2003. The Polderbaan which have a own control tower. it was located to reduce the noise impact on the surrounding population. Along this runway so you have the best chance to see planes starting or landing. With 3800 meters, the runway, the longest runway of the airport. An airplane from Air Italia just arrived above the rye field towards the Polderbaan.
Haarlemmermeer is met Schiphol Airport binnen de gemeentegrenzen, een paradijs voor de vliegtuigspotter. Schiphol heeft in totaal 6 landingsbanen. De landingsbanen liggen in diverse windrichtingen, waardoor er ook geland kan worden bij extreem weer. De Polderbaan verhoudingsgewijs het meeste gebruikt. Langs deze baan heeft u dus de meeste kans om vliegtuigen te zien starten of landen. Met 3800 meter is de Polderbaan de langste start- en landingsbaan van de luchthaven. De baan is 60 meter breed, dit, in tegenstelling tot de overige banen, die 45 meter breed zijn. Over de Polderbaan is jaren discussie gevoerd, betreffende milieunormen, geluidsoverlast en regelingen met het rijk. De baan werd door Schiphol gepropageerd als middel tegen geluidsoverlast, omdat hij de Zwanenburgbaan zou ontlasten dit bleek niet helemaal waar te zijn. Ten westen van de Polderbaan kant Vijfhuizen bevindt zich een officiële spottersplaats, beter is om aan het begin van de baan te staan waar de vliegtuigen laag overvliegen.
Triangle Falls Glen Leigh Kitchen Creek Valley Cascade
Luzerne/Sullivan Counties, Northeastern Pennsylvania
Accessed via Pennsylvania Route 487 & the Waterfall Trail
Date taken: May 21, 2016
I visited an old friend--triangle falls--on a quick one day in-and-out trip up to Ricketts Glen, Pennsylvania this past weekend. After what has seemed an endless stream of rain for the mid-Atlantic this spring, I was rather surprised and somewhat disappointed to find the flow at Ricketts Glen to be rather low overall. There was not enough water coming over triangle falls to show the full veil and foreground triangle cascade even. It was still beautiful, however, with the spring greens showing their early season yellows and literally glowing in the photographs. This is a small cascade/waterfall on the Glen Leigh branch of the waterfall trail that takes visitors past a couple dozen named waterfalls over the course of six miles or so of trail.
European common frog (Rana temporaria) - Tyrolean Alps, Austria
A common frog in habitat in the Austrian Alps. A beautiful area to live but full of its own kind of challenges, yet R. temporaria is up to them. It survives and flourishes in the cold environment high up in the mountains where other species could not eke out a living. They seem to be rather successful as I saw quite a large number of them during my hike through the Alps, they were seen moving about in the dewy grass and anything more than a cursory inspection of any mountain stream seemed to reveal atleast one of these frogs.
INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":
Mount Nuvolau reflected in a small pond located not far away from the beautiful Giau mountain pass, near Cortina d'Ampezzo and in the middle of the most known and iconic Dolomitic peaks of the north eastern italian range.
The Nunnery Quadrangle (a nickname given to it by the Spanish; it was a government palace) is the finest of Uxmal's several fine quadrangles of long buildings with elaborately carved façades on both the inside and outside faces.
A sunrise that lacked a certain woomph but it means I will keep revisiting until I'm satisfied.
Sun rise meant to happen at 4.52am according to The Photographer's Ephemeris; the shot was taken at 5:40am.
By that time all the night lights had been turned off.
Female Kingfisher (Alcedo attis). At last, after several tries, I managed to see and get some decent shots of a Kingfisher so please forgive me if I do share quite a few as I just love these stunning birds.

Green-winged Teal (male) / Tavi (koiras)
It's a migratory bird and now it's here, in Finland. It migrates south in winter (in August from Finland).
PS. I've never seen it before here, even in summer.
