Photo taken at Brimketill in Reykjanes, between Grindavík and Hafnir. My brother-in-law watch a massive wave crash in to the rock and rush up in the air, magnificent sight. In large size you can see seaweed in ther.

Large woodpecker found in the subtropical and temperate zones in the Andes from extreme western Venezuela to Peru. Look for the white stripe that runs down the face and neck, a white ‘V’ on the back, and the cinnamon belly with dark barring. The male has a red crest. Found at higher elevations than any similar large woodpeckers – typically above 1,800m and all the way up to over 3,000m. Pairs wander widely throughout the forest, so they are infrequently encountered.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
since the last one I posted was so popular, I thought you guys would dig this one too.
man, that dam sure does harness a lot of power.
'I'm the mighty one'. The powerful Male Greenfinch in prime breeding plumage, West Yorkshire. So Sad to see the Greenfinch added to our UK RED LIST of our most endangered bird species December 1st 2021.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
Greenfinch Notes:-
The greenfinch is one of Europe’s most widely distributed birds, breeding from the Mediterranean to the arctic, but absent from Iceland.
Since the 1950s it has become increasingly common in towns and villages, nesting in parks and gardens.
It has spread north in Scandinavia in recent years, a move thought to be due to the increasing popularity of garden bird feeding.
Few birds show as much enthusiasm for feeders as this finch, and peanuts, sunflowers and other seeds readily attract it.
Though it generally feeds in groups or small flocks, large autumn gatherings of several hundred birds are not uncommon.
Ringing has shown that individual birds will move 2000km, but British breeding birds seldom move more than 20km from their birthplace.
Ringing has also proved that numbers of greenfinch from the Norwegian population move to British in the winter.
Greenfinches are sociable birds, and often feed in company with other ground-foraging species, including tree sparrows, linnets, yellowhammers and reed buntings.
The song flight of the cock is distinctive: he flies with slow deep wing beats, singing continuously.
British birds generally start breeding in early April, with their first clutches complete by the end of the month.
The clutch consists of four to six eggs, and incubation takes 11-15 days, with fledging taking place 14-18 days later.
Two broods are usually attempted by each pair.
Young greenfinches can be confusing to identify as they lack the distinctive yellow on their primaries and tail that the adults show.
The plumage of adult male greenfinches from northern Europe is olive-green and yellow, and only looks bright in sunlight. Birds from south-eastern Europe tends to be distinctively brighter.
In Victorian times considerable numbers used to be caught for the cage-bird trade by trappers using clap nets, but they were never as popular as goldfinches or linnets.
These finches have been widely introduced to other countries, and today they are well established in south-east Australia, including Tasmania, both the North and South Islands of New Zealand and in Uruguay and Argentina.
There has been a marked decline in the British population since 2006 due to Trichomonosis. This is the name given to a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae.
Birds suffering from Trichomonosis appear lethargic and puffed-up and have difficulty swallowing food. Death can take days, but sometimes weeks.
Trichomonosis is spread by birds sharing dirty feeders or drinking water; strict hygiene, including regular cleaning of feeders and disinfecting the ground under feeders, will help prevent outbreaks of the disease.
There are four closely related species of greenfinch found in south-east Asia: the oriental, Himalayan, Vietnamese and black-headed.
Nearly all the local names for the greenfinch refer to its colour. They include green linnet and green grosbeak. Living with birds notes.
Three events have shaped my life, my entire being, like none other...the Birth of Jesus, His Crucifixion, and His Resurrection...the cross and a tortuous death could not hold him...for on Easter so very long ago, He rolled away the stone that sealed His mortal body and He faced the glorious sunrise of a new day for humanity...His Father's plan, lovingly carried out to a Holy conclusion beyond the brilliance of the morning sun...wishing you all the glory and love that God intends for us all, on this Easter and throughout eternity...it's there for the asking! Have a joyous, beautiful Easter, everyone!

These waves were very powerful and it was quite captivating to watch them smash into these cliffs with great power as the tide was rising but I didn't have much time to watch them.

Amazing how they can turn their heads through 180 degrees to look behind. And the late afternoon/early evening sun catches the eye.
Thanks to Luke Shelley for spotting this one that I had missed.
After a rainy night, we were alerted by a particular ruckus by the Choughs that frequent our front yard to the presence of this Powerful Owl in a low tree in our yard. Their outrage was well warranted as the owl had the dismembered carcass of one of their family in its talons. We've heard these birds often at our place at night but this is the first time we've seen one on our property. And I have never been closer to one as they are usually in higher trees when I do see them. Very exciting. Strangways, Vic. Dja Dja Wurrung Country

I was filming flowers today with my 50mm at the Depot and why I looked up I do not know. There glided a bald eagle right over head dead into the sun and past the American Flag flying. I STOOD up in awe and snapped one photo. Cropped allot but........................powerful to me.
A powerful explosion from pressure build-up of hot magma and ground water may have caused the Ubehebe Crater as recently as 300 years ago. The 600 foot deep and half mile wide hole that remains has begun the process of erosion, noticeable on the far wall's colorful sandstone.
Had a little fun with this one. I took the image of the storm and abandoned house separately on two different occasions and created a composite. It really illustrates the mood felt while exploring some of this old relics.
Cet ours noir venait sûrement de se réveiller de son hibernation. Il marchait sur les dernières plaques de neige sous le soleil de printemps à la recherche de quelques jeunes pousses à se mettre sous la dent. Impressionnant animal !
