organ player (and his wife?) rehearsing at St. Stephen's Church, Mainz
Ein Orgelspieler (und seine Frau / Begleitung) probt auf der Klais Orgel in St. Stephan, Mainz. Ich gehe davon aus, dass es sich um Christoph Keggenhoff (Speyer) handelt, der am Donnerstag (06. August 2015) um 19:30h ein Konzert auf dieser Orgel spielt. Der Eintritt dazu ist frei:

Probing for nectar, a mejiro spreads pollen between the shandilay blossoms. Mejiro, Japanese white-eye, Zosterops japonicus. Klip dagga, Leonotis nepetifolia.
Just below the summit of Legges Tor, which rises above the central plateau of Ben Lomond, we come across some interesting equipment. The ski lift is obvious enough, but my title reflects a little confusion as to the origins of the solar panel on the right.
My first thought was a weather station, but that seems unlikely since we lack the means of measuring rainfall and wind speed (there's no anemometer). Is it an alien probe? My guess is that it in fact measures seismic activity and relays this information electronically.
Interestingly enough, this is the only place on the entire mountain that has mobile phone reception. So one would think that our phones can tap into whatever signal is being emitted from this "probe". Any suggestions warmly welcomed.
In lovely condition despite having covered 132,000 miles. Very rare now.
Are these a badge engineered Mazda?
From the archives... One year ago.
Or what a probe on a shoestring budget (broken lander leg) might see upon landing at the Michigan City Lighthouse. The near object is a massive block of ice which has formed over a small concrete pillar. The frozen, Southern tip of Lake Michigan is between the frozen pillar and the sky beyond.
Whether the probe landed here, or at the U.S. Capitol Building, the conclusion might be the same: no life here (no offense to those living camera left...the probe was just pointed the wrong way here).
A kōlea probes the damp soil for earthworms. A Pacific golden plover patrols the Oahu shoreline and reestablishes his territory after a five-month summer breeding season in arctic Alaska. With his seasonal mating plumage fading this shorebird looks for food to replenish his body fat. The return trip traversed approximately 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring an exhaustive 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight. Incredibly, some kōlea will continue their marathon semiannual migration to oceanic islands of the southern Pacific resulting in an annual round trip total of about 15,000 miles. Their fledglings set off from the tundra searching for an island and a suitable territory a month or two after the adults have departed. Many fledgling birds probably miss landfall and perish at sea. Survivors are superb navigators with territorial fidelity, using the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of land every year. Like most transoceanic migratory birds, they may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.
Black crowned Night Heron
"A heron can use a Probing
technique by quickly and repeatedly moving its bill into and out of the water or
substrate, in a method more typical of ibises. Probing is a non-visual, tactile foraging
technique. A more common behavior is Pecking. The heron merely picks up an item
from the substrate, often repeating the movement. The substrate may be the ground, a
plant, or surface of the water. A specialized method is Scooping used by the Boat Billed
Heron. By Scooping, the individual walks forward with its bill partially submerged,
thrusting forward and Scooping with each step.
Prey are caught in the bill either by Impale Capture or Grasp Capture. Impaling
means the bill tip goes into or through the prey. This occurs mostly on large and wide
prey, and mostly by herons with bills large enough to withstand the stress of impaling
and landing a larger prey item. Grasping is the more common capture method in which
prey are caught in a tweezers grip."

My handmade radio probe for borehole exploration.
Despite the availability of all necessary documents and presence agents of Hydro Invest company, the customs officers of airport forced me completely disassemble the device and wait for arrival of their technical specialists.

A Dowitcher searching for sustenance in the beach wrack. Seen off of the Estero Bluffs north of Cayucos, ca.
Fairly common but inconspicuous (plumage blends well with bark) in woods, forests, and gardens with larger trees. Usually seen as singles or pairs, creeping along trunks and branches using its tail for support, like a mini-woodpecker. Probes in crevices for insects and spiders, and often spirals up then drops to low on the next tree and spirals up again. In areas where Short-toed Treecreeper also occurs, the two species are often not safely distinguished without considerable experience.

Small numbers visit Western Europe. A lifer for me.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-billed_dowitcher
The long-billed dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus) is a medium-sized shorebird. The genus name Limnodromus is Ancient Greek from limne, "marsh" and dromos, "racer". The specific scolopaceus is New Latin for "snipe-like", from Latin scolopax, scolopacis, a snipe or woodcock.[2] The English name is from Iroquois and was first recorded in 1841.[3]
Adults have yellowish legs and a long straight dark bill. The body is dark brown on top and reddish underneath with spotted throat and breast, bars on flanks. The tail has a black and white barred pattern. The winter plumage of both an adult and a juvenile is largely grey.
Their breeding habitat is wet tundra in the far north of North America and eastern Siberia. They nest on the ground, usually near water.
They migrate to the southern United States and as far south as Central America. Long-billed dowitcher is a rare but regular visitor to western Europe, with some individuals staying for long periods.
These birds forage by probing in shallow water or on wet mud. They mainly eat insects, mollusks, crustaceans and marine worms, but also eat some plant material.
They are more likely to be seen near fresh water than the short-billed dowitcher.

Today I'm presenting you my newest creation,
the Viper Probe Droid.
The build didnt take long, but it was very fun building all the eyes and sensors.
Hope you guys like it:)
I look forward to hear critics or comments,
Benedict
This Pacific golden plover has been probing the rain soaked ground for earthworms and insects. There is mud on its bill and head. But my favorite detail is the adorable eyelashes. (View large.)
Camouflaged for ground nesting, the Kolea (Pluvialis fulva) annually migrates from breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia to tropical Pacific islands over thousands of miles of open ocean. After 3 to 4 days and nights of non-stop flying it arrives at the first landfall, Hawaii. A magnificent navigator, it uses the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find the exact same location each year. This one winters in Hawaii. Some continue on into the southern hemisphere as far as New Zealand.
