I had been shut out for 5 nights in a row on this trip and was willing to shoot anything at this point. As I was running around to the different viewpoints on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon looking for some open sky, I rounded the corner along the drive and hit the brakes for a quickie. :) I set up one light panel quickly and snapped 3 shots then jumped back in and off I went. I used a cooler white balance than usual on this one at around 3200. :)

There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

I found this cute little sparrow chick with a funny hairdo in one of the Moscow parks ... he fell out of the nest.

What to do? How can I help this baby?

The fact is that in many birds (primarily small passerines), the chicks leave the nest as half-fledged fledglings. During this period of life, they still do not know how to fly, but they are already actively mastering the surrounding space. The parents did not abandon this chick, but simply flew away for food. Of course, as long as you stand next to the chick, they will not make themselves felt. Savvy birds can check after you leave that it was you considered there, they will find and kill the chick. Hence the conclusion: do not "save" everything that catches your eye. If the chick is dry, warm, active, well-feathered, then it does not need help.

And if the situation raises concerns? What to do first:

1. Quickly and carefully inspect the place where you found the chick, remember what it looks like. In some cases, this will help determine the type of bird.

2. Pick up the chick (with gloves) and bring it home as soon as possible.

3. On the way, inspect the chick for damage. If the bird has clearly visible fractures of the legs, wings, contusion (how to define it a little below), then you cannot do without a veterinarian. It is highly advisable to seek help from a veterinarian who specializes in the treatment of birds (unfortunately, such specialists are extremely rare). If there are no obvious signs of a fracture, and the general condition of the chick is satisfactory, just provide good conditions - nature will do its job and he will recover.

4. Provide the chick with food as soon as possible, it is even more important than equipping him with a house.

What did I do in this case? The kid is absolutely healthy and active, but I saw how a passerby man almost stepped on this chick and I brought a man from the administration of this park to this place, he promised to do everything necessary. I do not know anything about the fate of the bird, I have never visited this park again.

It is possible that there was a church on this site in Saxon times, and it is known that a church was built here about 1250-70. The record of Rectors of Child Okeford Superior and of Child Okeford Inferior begins in 1297. In 1297 Galfrid de Stocks was presented to the Parish as priest, by his relative Roger de Stocks, who held the land under the King.

 

The old medieval church was largely knocked down in 1878 and a “new” church built. The new North Chancel Aisle, designed for 52 Sunday School children, was actually occupied by the new Organ. This was built to a specification set by Dr (later Sir) Arthur Sullivan. The Vestry, which had been in the Tower, was also moved to the new North Chancel Aisle, where it remains.

It would be possible to get this shot where I live HOWEVER that is not what happened.

 

The hawk is my shot that I took while out on a winter hike and although I do have trees like these around here, these particular trees are courtesy Unsplashed. I blended the two together for a little winter wonderland.

I have shown this photo in a colour version before.

Today I show it again as a symbol of social distancing, which has become so normal for all of us in these days

O inevitável cotidiano / The inevitable daily

Coleção: A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis

 

É inevitável, pontos de conflito, linhas de organização e insurreição, invisbilidades. O tempo passa... por cima.

 

A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis: um olhar, um passo, um gesto, as linhas da cidade ou um detalhe qualquer, completados pelo olhar, criando uma poética nos movimentos que só existem no encontro entre corpos, fotógrafo, local, pessoas fotografados e quem vê a foto, e isso pode gerar uma potência de presença, uma dança estática.

The inevitable daily

Collection: The poetry of invisible movements

 

It is inevitable, points of conflict, lines of organization and insurrection, invisibility. Time passes... over.

 

A look, a step, a gesture, the lines of the city or any detail, completed by the look, creating a poetics in the movements that only exist in the encounter between bodies, photographer, place, people photographed and who sees the photo, and this can generate a power of presence, a static dance.

Detail shivering spiral

The shivering spiral is a classic at any party. Try to get from the beginning to the end as quickly as possible without letting the loop touch the thread. Does the buzzer sound or do you hear an alarm? Then you have to go back to the beginning or the last resting point.

“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.

 

Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”

― Mike Norton

On digital cameras there is often a Macro Focus mode which switches the auto focus system to attempt to focus on subjects much closer to the lens.

 

We measure macro ability (of cameras with non-interchangeable lenses) in our reviews as the ability of the lens to get the best possible frame coverage. So a camera which can fill the frame with a subject that is 20mm wide has better macro capabilities than one which can only capture a 40mm wide subject.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

This morning I was late to the dining room, everybody from my party were already seated when I arrived. I was ushered to a table at the far end of the dining room. I asked to be seated with my party, but this was not possible, I had to sit at the allocated table. Foolishly I pressed my argument, then it dawned on me, I was in some Chinese version of Fawlty Towers and this woman was Manuel in drag. It was pointless to argue.

 

The toaster worked, they provided soup bowls for the toast, a novel innovation I thought. The bacon was real and the eggs almost speedy.

 

Outside the day was misty. We took a bus to a wharf on the Li River for a scenic cruise past some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in China. Jennifer, our guide, said the mist would add soft light to our photos, so we should not be despondent.

 

The plan was to cruise 3½ hours through impressive gorges and tranquil farming villages to the town of Yangshou. There we'd explore the cobblestone streets, experience the local life and do some bargain shopping in the colourful markets before returning to Guilin by road in the late afternoon. It all sounded too good to be true, and so it was.

 

This photo was taken a short time after we left Guilin, the mountains were spectacular, this landscape on a sunny day would have been amazing.

"Bay of Bones" - during a dive in the lake of Ohrid, divers found the wooden piles. Made archaeological work made it possible to recreate the prehistoric settlement. Dates back to 1,200 - 700 r. BC On land was made museum where collected found on the bottom of the lake exhibits from the bones. It was the people of hunter-gatherers.

"Zatoka Kości" - w trakcie nurkowania w jeziorze Ohrydzkim, płetwonurkowie odnaleźli drewniane pale. Wykonane prace archeologiczne pozwoliły na odtworzenie prehistorycznej osady. Datowana jest na 1.200 - 700 r. p.n.e. Na lądzie urządzono muzeum w którym zgromadzono znalezione na dnie jeziora eksponaty z kości. Był to lud myśliwsko-zbieracki.

Historical country house also to be opened to the public

As of 1 September, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be using the historical country house, Trompenburg, as an extra location. Trompenburg, which is close to Hilversum, was built after 1677 by Admiral Cornelis Tromp (1621-1691), the son of the legendary Admiral Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. The residence, that was built to resemble a ship, will be open for use by the Rijksmuseum from 1 April to 1 October for holding lectures, small conferences and small-scale exhibitions. In addition, Trompenburg will also be opened to the public a few times each year.

 

A monument for the Tromp family

Throughout the years, Trompenburg House has been a home to different families, and has been in the care of the Government Buildings Agency as a monument since 1938. Cornelis Tromp, who was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch and Danish fleet, built Trompenburg as a monument for himself and his ancestors, his father in particular. The Tromp family's glory is the theme of the dome hall - which can be seen as the maritime answer to the Oranjezaal, the central chamber in Huis ten Bosch Palace. The dome hall contains the portraits of father and son Tromp and both their wives, portraits of the ships and the naval battles.

 

Decoration and exhibitions

Trompenburg will not be used for large exhibitions, as the country residence is too small. However, the Rijksmuseum is considering whether the house could be decorated with art works on a limited scale. Where possible, any art work that is selected will be in keeping with the themes of life on a 17th Century country estate and the maritime history of the period of 1630 and 1690.

 

Due to the limited capacity of Trompenburg House, the exhibitions as well as the lectures and conferences will all be small-scale. The house will be opened to the public once a month during the April-October season (six times in total). A steward will reside at Trompenburg House.

Not 100% sure but I suspect it's ticks that are damaging the birds eyes, if you zoom in just under the eye there's something that looks like a fresh tick. Sorry Jean Marie but your comment made sense, I think you are right it's the ticks that's damaging the eyes..

No one said that tears do not escorreriam by the face, but smiling maybe you can use those tears as spiritual cleansing and let it rain. Rain until the sun reappears and overflow you from light. No one said that you would be able to see clearly everything around you, but smiling maybe you will rediscover the path after tripping a few times. Nobody said it would be easy and its not!.

ein Gebäude, das ich seit ca. 10 Jahren fotografiere ...

und zum ersten Mal erlebte, ohne eine Wasserfüllung im Becken.

Das Wasser war sicher aus Sanierungsgründen abgelassen worden.

 

So konnte ich in die Beckenmitte gehen, bis zu einer kleinen Regenpfütze, die sich gebildet hatte.

 

Dort nahm ich einen tiefen Standpunkt ein um die Teilspiegelung des Gebäudes auf der Wasseroberfläche in mein Bild aufzunehmen.

 

Ich hatte damit die garantiert richtigen Spiegelungsproportionen des bildwichtigsten Bereiches, eines Teiles des Gebäudes.

 

Den Rest habe ich dazu gemalt und kann sicher sein, dass so schnell ein ähnliches Bild nie wieder entstehen kann.

 

Durch das Sichtfenster in der Betonwand, im inneren des Gebäudes, beobachtet das Kassenpersonal den Eingangsbereich und stürmt bei gestiefelten Regelüberschreitern direkt nach draußen ;-) ...

Hello my dears!! ^.^ I hope you are thrilled and impressed by this photo as I have enjoyed doing it. I’ve clearly tried to build on one of the scenes with Amanda Bear from the famous Saw Saga.

 

I wanted to convey a dirty and agonizing touch in the photo, to portray the scene as similar as possible, all wearing the new LANEVO mask, which does not lack any detail.

 

As always. I hope with emotion that you like it. A big hug!! <3

¡Hola mis queridos!! ^.^ Espero que os emocione e impacte esta foto como lo que he disfrutado haciéndola. Claramente he intentado basarme en una de las escenas con Amanda Bear, de la famosa Saga Saw.

 

Quería transmitir un toque sucio y agónico en la foto, para retratar la escena lo más similar posible, todo ello portando la nueva máscara de LANEVO, a la cual no le falta detalle alguno.

 

Como siempre. Espero con emoción que os guste. Un fuerte abrazo!! <3

I finally got to see two chicks, Yea! Normally the Red-shoulder hawks lay up to five eggs and generally two survive. It's possible there could be younger siblings in the nest that I'm not able to see at this time.

Following yesterday's picture, someone challenged me to do something similar but with the wings coming out of the frame too. Not easy because they are translucent, but it is possible if you have the right sort of picture to start with ie without too busy a backdrop.

It’s still possible in these mesh-charged days in Second Life to get a perfect gorgeous gown that’s still essentially an old-fashioned flex offering, and here’s a brand new example from Sascha’s Designs. Though the basic dress is mesh, all of the trimmings are decidedly flex and move and float with your body in a frankly adorable way!

I usually like to get as close to the water as possible with my seaside shots, esp. when there's crashing waves against rocks. I'm looking over my folder of photos taken when I went on my "lighthouse" tour up the coast of Maine in October 2019, and even though I've posted many photos from that time since then, here is one as close to the water as I could get.

 

This was processed 05-16-21. Shot with the Canon EOS80D. Processed with Photomatix Pro, Photoshop CC, Topaz DeNoise, and Aurora HDR

 

Prints available in the "Lighthouses of New England" gallery of the "Lighthouse Collection" album in my online store.

I had always believed that shooting with the lowest possible ISO was the best (going back to the days of film), but a video I watched last night suggested some experimentation with higher ISO settings for wildlife shots could yield results. So here we go - ISO 6800 and these mundane Black-headed Gulls become almost ethereal

In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.

ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.

 

Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –

The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.

 

However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

I was still working when I suddenly noticed that we had a nice sunset for a change. So I grabbed the camera and took a few quick photos before the sun disappeared and the colours faded. This was one of the moment when I always wish I could see that sunset in a nicer place, at a lake or even better at the seaside. As this wasn't possible I can only offer the view from study, from the same window where the Dragon sat in the other photo I post today.
