This Tawny Eagle was very protective of his kill.. It was quite difficult to see what he had in his claws, but every now and then I got a glimpse of an impala head... So I am thinking that this was the remains of a Wild dog kill...
The majority of the hill ranges around Manglot Wildlife park are now denuded of vegetation. If human pressure was not so great the barren hills of NWFP would all look the same as this. Acacia and wild olives dominate here. The wildlife park spread up to the top of the tallest peak. Chinkaar Gazelles, Urial Sheep, Wolves and Leopards were found here until very recently. Historically Tigers and Rhino's were also found here within the time of Babur, the Muhal; emperor.

He will be 9 next month and my twins will be 6. My three little eggs are getting so big. I want to protect them from time and from getting older. I am not ready yet for the Birthdays. Maybe we just need a big party. This image is inspired by so many things, including my feelings about their Birthdays, my sons hair that looks like a birds nest most days and the prop I bought for my newborns. Also I have been reading my Elizabeth Messina book, this is such an inspiring wonderful book. I don't have a daughter to wear flowers in her hair but I do have my lovely Leo. Three beautiful little boys in my nest.
High Street, Markyate, Hertfordshire. The county in general, but this village in particular, is regarded as "safe". The crime rate, when compared to the UK average, is low. This "safety", however, comes at a price. Using a bit of sarcasm, I could say that one would not commit a crime here because there is nothing interesting to be criminal about. But, on the other hand, boredom and predictability also have their price. In this village, young people have no way of advancing their career and prospects. Self harm, particularly among young men, is common. When it comes to protecting the community, "safety" is only one of the core elements.

This is a new photo in ”The grey mass” series. The series is about people living their lives on a scheme. Everyday looks pretty much the same. Wake up, go to work, eat, watch television, sleep. Over and over again, on repeat. I guess we all live that life sometimes, some more than others.
This time I’m using the umbrellas as a symbol for security and protection. A comfort zone hard to step out from.
You can see the other photos in the series here and here.

Having seen the Old Athens Cemetery neglected ever since I moved here in 1989, I was suprised to find signs that it is being restored. Graves and plots, or rather, what is left of them (not much) have been outlined and marked, as the gravestones and markers are either missing or illegible.
A pile of grave bricks is secured with a plastic cover and from a distance looks like a fresh burial.

The old castle, protected by a moat, was built in four periods. Based on a document of 1192, it is assumed that Walter of Wiltz and Beaufort was the first Lord of Beaufort.
The oldest part of the castle dates from the early 11th Century. It was a small square-shaped fortress on a massive rock, surrounded by a wide ditch and a second wall facing the valley. Around the first half of the 12th Century, a flanking tower was added and the access gate was moved and enlarged.
The marriage of Adelaide of Beaufort with William of Orley in 1348 meant that the castle became the property of the House of Orley. The lords of Orley expanded the castle towards the valley. The wing containing the well and the upper rooms as well as the lower part of the main tower date from this period. Since 1539 Bernard of Velbrück was Lord of Beaufort.
The House of Beaufort became ruined by the Thirty Year War and thus was forced to sell up. On 27.11.1639 Johann Baron von Beck, governor of the province of Luxembourg on behalf of the Spanish King, acquired the greatest part of its properties. It's likely he built the wing with the large Renaissance style windows in the main tower and the northwestern cannon tower. After 1643 he ordered the building of the new renaissance chateau. J von Beck, however, died of injuries received at the Battle of Lens in 1648 before he could even move in. His son finished the construction in 1649.
The old abandoned knights' castle slowly decayed. At the beginning of the 19th Century it was even used as a quarry. In 1850 the Luxembourg Government declared the castle a cultural heritage.
As of 1893 Beaufort castle acquired a new look under the new owner Henri Even and his son Joseph Linckels. The new palace was restored and the sheep farm was expanded.
In 1928 Edmond Linckels cleared the rubble from the castle and the well and made the site available to the public. Since 1981 the castle and the chateau are owned by the Luxembourg Government.

The Radiated Tortoise (Geochelone radiata) is one of the most protected species of tortoise in the world. Within the reptile world, it is something of a poster child for environmental conservation. In the U.S., this means that--in order to keep them legally--one must obtain a USFWS captive bred wildlife permit, and many states require their own licenses atop this U.S. one!
The protection is helping. Today, it is likely that over 3,000 of these tortoises are living and breeding in the U.S., while civilization continues to encroach on their homelands in Madagascar.
The captively-cared for juvenile photographed here is approximately four years old and could have well more than 100 years to go!
Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin.
The park is located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory. It covers an area of 19,804 km2 (7,646 sq mi), extending nearly 200 kilometres from north to south and over 100 kilometres from east to west. It is the size of Slovenia, about one-third the size of Tasmania, or nearly half the size of Switzerland.
The Ranger Uranium Mine, one of the most productive uranium mines in the world, is surrounded by the park.
The name Kakadu may come from the mispronunciation of Gaagudju, which is the name of an Aboriginal language spoken in the northern part of the park. This name may derive from the Indonesian word kakatuwah, (via Dutch kaketoe and German Kakadu) subsequently Anglicised as "cockatoo”. Kakadu is ecologically and biologically diverse. The main natural features protected within the National Park include:
•four major river systems: the East Alligator River, the West Alligator River, the Wildman River; and the entire South Alligator River;
•six major landforms, estuaries and tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands, the stone country, the outliers; and
the southern hills and basins;
•a remarkable variety and concentration of wildlife; over 280 bird species, roughly 60 mammal species, over 50 freshwater species, over 10,000 insect species, over 1,600 plant species and some 117 species of reptiles
Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years. Kakadu National Park is renowned for the richness of its Aboriginal cultural sites. There are more than 5,000 recorded art sites illustrating Aboriginal culture over thousands of years. The archaeological sites demonstrate Aboriginal occupation for at least 20,000 and possibly up to 60,000 years.
The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognised internationally when the park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognised as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu was listed in three stages: stage 1 in 1981, stage 2 in 1987, and the entire park in 1992.
Approximately half of the land in Kakadu is Aboriginal land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, and most of the remaining land is currently under claim by Aboriginal people. The areas of the park that are owned by Aboriginal people are leased by the traditional owners to the Director of National Parks to be managed as a national park. The remaining area is Commonwealth land vested under the Director of National Parks. All of Kakadu is declared a national park under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Aboriginal traditional owners of the park are descendants of various clan groups from the Kakadu area and have longstanding affiliations with this country. Their lifestyle has changed in recent years, but their traditional customs and beliefs remain very important. About 500 Aboriginal people live in the park, many of them are traditional owners. All of Kakadu is jointly managed by Aboriginal traditional owners and the Australian Government's Department of the Environment and Water Resources through a division known as Parks Australia. Park Management is directed by the Kakadu Board of Management.
Chimpanzees are more than 98% identical to humans genetically. They’re more closely related to us than they are to gorillas.
The Los Angeles Zoo is home to one of the largest chimpanzee troops of any zoo in the country. Built in 1998, the Zoo's "Chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains" habitat has been hailed by renowned primatologist Jane Goodall as one of the country’s finest chimpanzee habitats. Maintaining a healthy, diverse zoo population of chimpanzees is crucial to the survival of the species.
Unfortunately, chimpanzees are currently on the endangered species list. Populations have decreased because of foresting, hunting, commercial exportation, and collection for scientific research. Although chimpanzees are protected in 34 national parks and reserves, laws can be difficult to enforce in remote regions.
