Sossusvlei ,Namibia.
I am assuming this is somewhat what the dead trees at Deadvlei looked like before they died, this spot is probably 15mins walk to Deadvlei .I took this on the way to Deadvlei , got a bit lost and came up on this other clay pan with some trees that seemed to be alive and well , the landscape here is quite strange and interesting . I thought the trees lined up quite nice here and well the sky was wicked .
Thanks for viewing and commenting everyone .
As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.
Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.

Tail feathers, check! Wings, check! Feet, check! Runway,,,,,, SHORT !! :)))
I arose early to walk around Rookes Point to catch a sunrise.
One of my favourite pics of the morning, turned out to be this one.
It was actually taken in the opposite direction... from Rookes Point, Mallabula... towards Sunrise Point at Tanilba Bay.
The soft subtle colours created a feeling of peace and tranquility... the pre-dawn lighting slowing the shutter speed enough to enhance the effect.
Photographed in Bradford, West Yorkshire. This weathered panel was seen inserted into the stone wall of an old warehouse.
Oiseau de pâturage plutôt furtif. On le localise à son chant particulier.
Bird of grazing rather stealthy. It is localized to its own singing.
A male ruddy duck, before breeding season. During the breeding season, their bill becomes bright blue and their plumage a beautiful ruddy red. This shot from January, but I figured my stream needed a break from hummingbirds 😁 (a shot of a ruddy duck in breeding plumage in first comment)
A koa’e ‘ula spots fish, stops and hovers in mid-air, then plunges into the water for the catch. Tropicbirds are superb aerial acrobats and underwater swimmers. Their aerial courtship displays over the ocean are fascinating to watch. One of the few birds that can fly backwards. The red-tailed tropicbird is one of only three species of tropicbirds worldwide and identified by the red bill and distinctive long, red, central tail streamers. Surely among the most beautiful of all the seabirds! Koa’e ‘ula, red-tailed tropicbird, Phaethon rubricauda.

Dear friends of photography, thank you very much for your visits, your faves, comments and group-awards!
The photo contains a secret. Have you figured out what I'm talking about?
My tip: Take a closer look at the bird at the height of the sunrise...;)
You know it’s name?
