I consider this statue in Kensington Gardens to be an asset to the park unlike the Henry Moore one.
Physical Energy is a bronze equestrian statue by English artist George Frederic Watts. Watts was principally a painter, but also worked on sculptures from the 1870s. Physical Energy was first cast in 1902, two years before his death, and was intended to be Watts's memorial to "unknown worth". Watts said it was a symbol of "that restless physical impulse to seek the still unachieved in the domain of material things". The original plaster maquette is at the Watts Gallery, and there are four full-size bronze casts: one in London, one in Cape Town, one in Harare and one soon to be sited at Watts Gallery - Artists' Village in Compton, Surrey. Other smaller bronze casts were also made after Watts's death.

Tribute to Hirst's Shark :)
Infos:
"The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" the title of one of the most famous works of the English artist Damien Hirst (1991). It represents a shark as if suspended in a huge formalin aquarium. Not durable, these works deteriorate over time and need to be replaced.
For Hirst, the shark represents both a terrible aesthetic of nature and a figure of capitalism. Hirst is a “symptomatic” artist who speaks to us, in his own way, of the evils of our time.
« L’impossibilité physique de la mort dans l’esprit du vivant », ainsi pourrions-nous traduire le titre d’une des œuvres les plus connues de l’artiste anglais Damien Hirst (1991). Cette dernière représente un requin comme suspendu dans un immense aquarium de formol. Non pérennes, ces œuvres se détériorent avec le temps et demandent à être remplacées.
Pour Hirst, le requin représente à la fois une esthétique de la nature terrible et une figure du capitalisme. Hirst est un artiste « symptomatique » qui nous parle, à sa manière, des maux de notre époque.
The River Tawang and Jung Falls(also known as Nuranang Falls) in remote Tawang valley in the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh,India.It was a cloudy evening ,the light was very dim and I have tried to do my best.:-)
I feel there are two kinds of people - those who love the mountains and those who don't.Thankfully I belong to the former category.The grandeur,the remoteness ,the mysterious and breathtaking beauty and the subtle challenge posed by mountains to your inner and physical strength has always fascinated me and I love going back to them again and again.:-)
The summit of the volcano at 530 meters high.
It is the local custom to place a stone to increase the height or for the physical achievement of having reached the top.
I put my stone on the top of the cairn.
The highest point on the island.
It is a volcano with several craters.
Having a 360º view of the island is really cool.

Lysandra coridon has a wingspan of 30–36 millimetres (1.2–1.4 in).[4] These small butterflies present a sexual dimorphism. This species' physical appearance can be described as males having pale silvery-blue upperside of the wings with a submarginal line of grey spots on the hindwings and a thin brown and white chequered fringe. Females have dark brown upperside of wings, with marginal orange spots and also with chequered fringes.[5] The underside of the wings show a light ochre colouration, several dark spots surrounded by white, a submarginal line of black marks, a series of marginal orange spots on the hindwings and a blue dusting near the body.
As with many blue butterflies, separation from similar species in the field is on the underside markings. Aberrations are common.
El Garceta rojiza (Egretta rufescens) es una garza de tamaño medio conocida por ser uno de los miembros más activos y "dramáticos" de su familia. Es famosa por su inusual técnica de pesca, que parece un baile frenético sobre el agua.
Características Físicas
Esta especie presenta dos variantes de color (morfos) que conservan durante toda su vida:
Morfo Oscuro (más común): Tiene el cuerpo de color gris pizarra con la cabeza y el cuello de un tono rojizo o canela intenso.
Morfo Blanco: Es completamente blanco.
Rasgos comunes:
Pico: Largo y puntiagudo, de color rosa con la punta negra (más brillante durante la época de cría).
Cuello: Presenta plumas largas y desgreñadas que le dan un aspecto "shaggy" o despeinado.
Patas: Son largas y de un color azul cobalto o negruzco.
Tamaño: Mide entre 68 y 82 cm de largo, con una envergadura de unos 116 a 125 cm.
Comportamiento y Alimentación
Se le apoda el "T-Rex de las marismas" por su estilo de caza agresivo y enérgico:
Baile de Pesca: A diferencia de otras garzas que esperan inmóviles, la rojiza corre, salta y gira en aguas poco profundas para perseguir a los peces.
Pesca con dosel: A menudo extiende sus alas formando una sombra sobre el agua; esto reduce el reflejo del sol y atrae a los peces que buscan refugio en la sombra, facilitando su captura.
Dieta: Se alimenta principalmente de pequeños peces, aunque también consume ranas y crustáceos.
Hábitat y Distribución
Es una especie casi exclusivamente costera.
Ubicación: Se encuentra en las costas del Golfo de México, el Caribe, América Central y el norte de Sudamérica. En EE. UU., es común en Texas y Florida.
Entorno: Prefiere marismas saladas, lagunas costeras, manglares y llanuras de marea.
=======ENGLISH========
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron celebrated for being the most energetic and "theatrical" hunter of the heron family. It is best known for its frantic, dance-like fishing technique.
Physical Appearance
This species is unique because it exists in two distinct color morphs, regardless of age or sex:
Dark Morph (Most Common): Features a slate-grey body with a contrasting shaggy, reddish-cinnamon neck and head.
White Morph: Completely white plumage.
Key Features:
Bill: Distinctive two-toned bill—bright pink at the base with a black tip.
Eyes: Pale, yellowish-white irises that give it a piercing gaze.
Legs: Long, cobalt-blue to blackish legs.
Size: Stands about 27–32 inches (68–82 cm) tall with a wingspan of approximately 46–49 inches.
The "Canopy" Hunting Behavior
The Reddish Egret’s hunting style is its most famous trait. Unlike other herons that stand still, it:
Dances: Runs through shallow water, spinning, leaping, and flapping its wings to startle fish.
Canopying: It often arches its wings over its head to create a shadow (canopy) on the water. This reduces glare, allowing the bird to see prey better, and lures fish into the shade for safety—at which point the egret strikes.
Habitat and Conservation
Range: A strictly coastal bird found along the Gulf Coast of the US (Texas, Florida), Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.
Habitat: It stays near salt water, favoring tidal flats, lagoons, and salt marshes.
Conservation: It is considered one of the rarest herons in North America, largely due to habitat loss and historical hunting for the plume trade.

"Sea Shell, Sea Shell, Sing me a song,
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands, fishes and corals under the waves
And seahorses stabled in great green caves"
Holding a beautiful seashell and connecting distant places as shells are a bridge between the physical and the supernatural realm.

"To me the Fox Sparrow stands out as the singer of joy. Many birds are of this kind, but few are to such a degree as this inhabitant of the stunted woodlands of the North. The musical construction indicates it, for instance the dancing rhythm, the major keys, and the speed with which it fairly shoots through the central phrase. But deeper than these are certain qualities in his physical being and character, which make for happiness: his robustness and virility, his excessive activity in all his waking hours."
William Brewster (1883)
The physical limits
Thanks to the confinement at home I have discovered a bush of begonias. This one is invaded by a swarm of tiny snails that feed on it. At first I wanted to eradicate them but later I decided to observe and photograph them. They are minuscule in size of just 4mm and this implies developing all the technique I have in macroscopic photography. I have worked with my Nikon D750 and D500 cameras, the TC 1´7 and a Kenko 36 mm extension ring. All this assembly has been stabilized by a BENRO LB200 rail and a Leofoto LH40 ball joint. I am enjoying a lot.
I did my best to try and duplicate the circa 1975 classic album cover, Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti. The actual building depicted on that album cover is at 96 St Marks Place in the East Village, New York City, not far from Tompkins Square Park.
*Here's a photo of the actual classic album cover, for visual reference: i1.wp.com/thevinyljungle.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2...
*Notice that there is actually one more floor/row of windows than what appears in the album. I guess some manual 'photoshopping' back in the day!
*A came across this fellow Flickr member who visited this site one day and happened to run into THE Robert Plant (singer for Led Zeppelin for those who don't know who that is), and here are his photos from that encounter - so cool!

After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates.
Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run.
“I’m just relieved and excited to have this done,” Cushing said. “I’m ready to play football and help the team win.”
Cushing (6-3, 262) was in Los Angeles when agent Tom Condon reached the agreement with general manager Rick Smith and director of football administration Chris Olsen.
Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years.
In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.
Odds are that Cushing’s contract will be extended before he enters the fifth season in 2013.
Smith and Olsen will have all eight of their draft choices under contract when the Texans take the field for the third day of two-a-day drills at their Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very important to have him signed,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Rick and Chris were up at 3 in the morning trying to get it done. They’ve done a good job.
“Brian’s two days behind now, but he didn’t miss anything we did in the offseason program, so that’s a good thing. He wanted to be here while we were working on the contract, but he couldn’t.”
Rookies who have signed with the Texans report a week early for conditioning and meetings before practicing for the first time with the veterans. Cushing wanted to report with the rookies.
He was working out at Reliant Stadium last week when the Texans had to explain league rules that forced him to leave.
Cushing took what turned out to be a quick trip back to Los Angeles. He returned to Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Texans coaches are excited to get him on the practice field.
“We’re going to put the pads on (Sunday morning), and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out there,” Kubiak said.
After the Texans used the 15th pick in the first round on Cushing, they inserted him into the starting lineup. He impressed his coaches in the organized team activities and minicamp.
“We like his presence on the ball,” Kubiak said, meaning Cushing has a knack for finding the ball and making plays. “He’s playing over the tight end, and we’re going to ask him to do a great deal. We think he can handle it.
“Brian’s very athletic. He’s physical against the run. He can rush the passer. He can drop into coverage. We brought him here for a reason, and we’re going to put him to work real fast.”
Frank Bush, who is in his first season as defensive coordinator, has to make calls that maximize Cushing’s strengths. The faster Cushing learns, the quicker Bush plans to utilize all his talent.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all his talent,” Bush said. “Because he’s such a talented kid, there are a lot of things we can do with him.”
The coaches say they think Cushing has everything it takes to become a star at his position.
“Brian can turn and run with the tight end,” Bush said. “He’s big and strong enough to strike them at the line of scrimmage and nullify some of their speed down the field, so we’re comfortable with him in coverage.
“His ability also gives us a chance to be aggressive toward the quarterback. He’s a big guy who’s shown he can get there.”
