The ex D&E Volvo B7TLs are being repainted into this version of fleet livery without the upperdeck blue swoop. They are also being reregistered with cherished plates on retention although 16977 has yet to receive its new mark whlst seen here at the depot.
Partially covered in cloud, Beinn Nuis holds a dark past. The mountain was responsible for the loss of 3 aircrews when their planes crashed into it during world war 2. The remains of the liberator, flying fortress and lodestar still lie on the mountain. A silent memorial to the men that lost their lives.
Partially cloudy and windy nights with Moon shining are perfect for some LP action in the middle of nowhere.
... partially protected by the balcony railing.
Looking as though it is suspended in mid air, this is the only 'yellow' variety that I have growing. It is of course attached to the plant by its own stalk.
(Am really enjoying eating the leaves and flowers of the other ones ... delicious and healthy!!)
These Rhododendron blossoms caught my attention with them being partially in the sunlight. These are in the entryway to our building.

Aber Falls (Rhaeadr Fawr in Welsh) is a stunning waterfall located in the foothills of the Carneddau mountain range in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The waterfall cascades from a height of approximately 37 metres (121 feet) and is fed by the Afon Goch river, which originates from the surrounding mountains. The area is rich in natural beauty, with scenic walking trails, lush greenery, and diverse wildlife.
The walk to Aber Falls is relatively easy and well-maintained, making it a popular spot for visitors of all ages. The main trail, starting from the nearby village of Abergwyngregyn, takes around 45 minutes each way and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. In the spring and summer months, the area is alive with wildflowers, while autumn brings golden hues to the trees. Winter can be particularly spectacular, as the waterfall may partially freeze, creating a dramatic icy spectacle.
Aber Falls is steeped in history and folklore, with evidence of prehistoric settlements and ancient burial sites nearby. The area is also home to a local distillery, producing Aber Falls whisky and gin, which adds to the region’s cultural appeal.
Even though it tried to hide behind the leaves this Red-tailed Hawk did not do a very good job of keeping me from spotting it. Of course it was too busy looking for its next meal to pay much attention to me.
A partial lunar eclipse provided a free & fascinating show for millions around the world in the last 24 hours. Photographing this natural wonder from my location in Sydney, Australia, meant being on-site, ready and raring to go by 4:43 am, when the penumbral phase of the eclipse began. Sure, it was cold out, being winter down here, but the sky was clear, and there are plenty of other cold mornings in the year to stay in bed.
The point of maximum eclipse was tabled as occurring at 07:30, but Moonset in Sydney this morning was 07:02 so we missed seeing the best bits of this heavenly happening. Mrs Nightscapades & I were due to meet friends for breakfast, so I didn’t spend much time looking at the shots when I got back from my morning mission. Tonight after work, though, I started looking at the results more closely and found this gem. The photo shows the Moon in partial eclipse as it silhouetted the form of an inbound domestic jet on approach to Sydney’s Kingsford Smith International Airport. Bingo!
For this lucky shot, I used a Canon EOS 6D camera, fitted with a Tamron 70-300 mm lens zoomed to 300 mm. I set the lens’ aperture to f/8.0, the shutter speed to 1/60 sec and used an ISO value of 200.
Petra, Jordan
Petra (Arabic: ٱلْبَتْرَاء, romanized: Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα, "Rock"), originally known to its inhabitants in as Raqmu or Raqēmō is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. It is adjacent to the mountain of Jabal Al-Madbah, in a basin surrounded by mountains forming the eastern flank of the Arabah valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC, and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom, as early as the 4th century BC. Archaeological work has only discovered evidence of Nabataean presence dating back to the second century BC, by which time Petra had become their capital. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the incense trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.
The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The Nabataeans were accustomed to living in the barren deserts, unlike their enemies, and were able to repel attacks by taking advantage of the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. Petra flourished in the 1st century AD, when its famous Al-Khazneh structure – believed to be the mausoleum of Nabataean king Aretas IV – was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.
Although the Nabataean kingdom became a client state of the Roman Empire in the first century BC, it was only in 106 AD that it lost its independence. Petra fell to the Romans, who annexed Nabataea and renamed it as Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after an earthquake in 363 destroyed many structures. In the Byzantine era several Christian churches were built, but the city continued to decline, and by the early Islamic era it was abandoned except for a handful of nomads. It remained unknown to the West until it was rediscovered in 1812 by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt
Perhaps the most popular waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, Narada Falls has an ever-present following of visitors. Veiling over a wall of basalt, the Paradise River slides and plunges 17 feet into a small pool then spreads out and veils 159 feet in a lacy display that can stretch to 75 feet wide at peak flow. When the river is running high, be prepared to get soaked at the viewpoint - the spray is always funneled straight at the trail. While the commonly enjoyed viewpoint provides the best views of the falls, a second, less developed viewpoint further downstream yields a side view of the falls from below, which has been used for some of the more famous pictures of this waterfall. The falls can also be partially viewed from the side of SR 706 near a large pullout about ½ a mile east of the bridge over the Paradise River. During the winter, the falls freeze and become 150 feet of Icicles, which attract ice climbers from afar.

Lake Champlain is a natural freshwater lake in North America mainly within the borders of the United States but partially situated across the Canada–U.S. border, in the Canadian province of Quebec. The New York portion of the Champlain Valley includes the eastern portions of Clinton County and Essex County.
This pair of garden gates were partially open on a very bright, summer day, creating these angled Shadowgates.
Partially in reference to the SOPA/PIPA legislation that could have a terrible impact on how we interact with each and access/share our lives through the internet and partially inspired by the splitting headache that I've had since noon. At about 2:30 this afternoon I felt like blackness was the only thing that could take away the pain from inside my head. Hate those kinds of headaches!
My bathroom sink looks like an oil spill.
MSCE 2/23/09: spray painting my hand gold made me think about spray painting other things gold, which inspired the idea of creating obscure trophies / awards that could (and perhaps do) exist.
In the grass behind the Convention Center, there was a bounty of thrushes...a great chance to hone your thrush ID skills. :)
From the weekends trip to Wales to see the Kites and Buzzards.
It was freezing, a fresh breeze keeping the temperatures down and the from the car the sunshine was misleading! A good day all the same.
This photo shows a Buzzard that has either a very infected left eye or perhaps no eye at all. It didn't realise I was there until it fully turned its head and as soon as it realised I was there off it went with no trouble at all landing in a tree where it sat and preened itself.
Song Thrush at River Gwash Trout Farm.
Whilst waiting for Ospreys I was delighted that this Song thrush found a reasonably close and low perch to sing from. It has a small lump on its upper bill which could be a parasite, lump of mud or a deformity which I have partially removed in the edit.
Another frost! There had been a little dusting of snow which had partially melted and re-frozen giving the ice surface the texture of leather as it began to melt again.
For the MOST group: Interesting.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Uluru / Ayers Rock.
Massi caduti a causa dell'erosione dovuta all'acqua eal vento.
Dietro questi massi esiste il riparo degli aborigeni che ci ha parzialmente protetto durante la tromba d'aria/uragano.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Uluru / Ayers Rock.
Rocks fallen due to erosion by water and wind.
Behind these boulders there is the Aboriginal shelter which partially protected us during the whirlwind/hurricane.
