…dass wir mittendrin sind im Klimawandel, merken wir am Wetter, das immer extremer wird. Noch vollzieht sich die Veränderung schleichend und ist verkraftbar für uns. Doch dann können plötzlich Kipppunkte auftreten.
Ein einziger Kipppunkt kann eine ganze Kettenreaktion auslösen – ähnlich wie bei Dominosteinen. Wird einer von ihnen gekippt, schiebt dieses Element die Erde auf einen weiteren Kipppunkt zu…

...that we are in the midst of climate change, we notice from the weather, which is becoming more and more extreme. The conversion is still taking place gradually and is manageable for us. But then tipping points can suddenly appear.
A single tipping point can set off an entire chain reaction - similar to dominoes. If one of them is tilted, this element pushes the earth towards another tipping point...

An older image from the harbour in Flensburg! I found it to be a wonderful place. Since they keep "the points" there (traffic violations and such) I was pleased that there was so much more to this city. I would love to return there one day.
At 10,700 feet elevation the early morning temperature was 41 degrees (f). There were 15 bull elk grazing in a nice open setting.
This group lined up nicely as they went about the business of bulking up for the coming rut and following winter. A pretty good way to spend a July morning for this photographer.

Points of Light looking like a strange galaxy, this is just a very heavy frost with reflections on the ice, shot in North Carolina.
I think this was a young princeling of a stag. He needs 12 points to be a Royal and 14 to be a Monarch. I'm told it was rather harsh judging him for just being a six pointer: after all it's not his fault. But when I had spotted a deerling (2 points) on a hillock close to the road I grabbed my long (crappy) lens and fired some shots at him, only to notice after a while that there were bigger antlers poking over the ridge and this chap emerged to stand on the skyline against black and white snowy mountains in the background. I thought I had hit the jackpot until I realised this was nothing like a Monarch of the Glen, that I wanted to bag.
You may remember my submission for theme # 37; Flame, where I used a reflection of some painting with light to produce an image of owls sitting in a tree.
Well those same owl have now taken up syncronised fledging at angles of 45 degrees to each other.

Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilegia
Been away over the holiday when all the "fun" with this site began and I must say I am not impressed. Has there been any communication form flickr?
