---------------------------
The beautiful villa was built at the end of XVII century by the Milanese marquis Giorgio Clerici in a natural basin between lake and mountains, facing the dolomite Grignas and the peninsula of Bellagio. The architect created for the Clericis an important but sober building, with an Italian garden decorated with sculptures, stairs and fountains.
In 1801 Gian Battista Sommariva, famous politician, businessman and patron of arts, bought the villa. Thanks to this owner the property in Tremezzo attained the summit of its splendour and became one of the most important halting-place of the Grand Tour. The villa became a temple of XIX century art with works of Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez: Palamedes, Eros and Psyche, Terpsychore, The last kiss of Romeo and Juliet are only some of the masterpieces that enriches the extraordinary collection. Under Sommariva part of the park was transformed in a fascinating romantic garden.
Sommariva's heirs sold the villa in 1843 to Princess Marianne of Nassau, Albert's of Prussia wife, who gave it as a present to her daughter Carlotta in occasion of her wedding with Georg II of Saxen-Meiningen. Hence the name Villa Carlotta. Very fond in botanic, Georg enriched the park, today of great historical and environmental value. The gardens of Villa Carlotta chiefly owe their reputation to the rhododendrons' and azaleas' spring flowering, consisting of over 150 different sorts.

——————
The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level.
Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes are alike in coloration. Juveniles do not have the long tail feathers that adults do.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.
Very happy to have one of my images of Ratcliffe on Soar power station included in this month’s edition of Practical Photography Magazine.
Not only that a couple of friends that I have got to know through Flickr are also in this months mag. Well done guys.

The incoming tide rushing through a channel at Turimetta beach.
A grey and wet sunrise. Thankfully the rain stopped long enough for us to still have a good morning shooting.

Polaroid SX-70 / 708 film (battery-less Timezero film) exp. 04/1999
Chris had bought a crate of this film and was so friendly to send me a few packs.
This is the oldest working integral film I ever knew of. It gives funny artefacts.

Pine Creek Canyon Overlook is one of my favorite trails in Zion National Park. I love the short distance of the hike and the beautiful views, but I've always found it challenging to capture good photos there due to the lighting conditions. I've been to the viewpoint three times, twice during sunrise and once for sunset on our most recent trip. During my last visit, there was some police activity near the tunnels, causing traffic to back up for quite a while. I decided to stay longer than usual, hoping to capture an incredible light trail once the traffic cleared. As the ambient light got low, the slow-moving traffic worked in my favor, allowing me to capture beautiful full-length light trails, which is rare at this location due to the distance and low-speed limits. I chose a short-tele focal length to eliminate the sky from the composition and emphasize the mountains surrounding this stunning stretch of road.
In th short time Barangaroo has been open, this has become one of the classic compositions.
A calm spring morning, with great light.
It appears so peaceful, out the front door of our hootch. But every once in a while, Charlie would fire a rocket at us. Thankfully, due to the mountains behind us, it was pretty much impossible for him to get the right 'angle' of attack, and they either ended up near the air base, or waaaaaaaaaaay out in the rice paddies.
And yes, that is Monkey Mountain in the distance. That's where our AFVN radio station was located. It would give us the 'sanitized' news of what was going on back home. People just don't realize how much truth there was in the old Robin Williams film, "Good Morning, Viet Nam."
At least they would play Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Grass Roots, and Steppenwolf, without whom we would have never survived.
The Original Photo:
All the thousands of miles I’ve travelled taking pictures it figures that the ones to get published are those taken closest to home — this one from inside the house looking through the window. No complaints, just interesting how that works. The squirrel photo is mine, but cover art for the 360 page book is by CAAC - The Pigozzi Collection, Genève, copyright Pierre Bodo and photo copyright by Maurice Aeschimann. The book is a catalogue to accompany The Great Animal Orchestra, a Bernie Krause exhibit at the Foundation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris last summer. The catalogue is loaded with amazing art and photographs from around the world. If I could read French I’d tell you more about the exhibit, I just wish I had been able to make it to Paris to see it in person.
Published...Very blessed to have this Black-tailed buck image published in the most recent Mule Deer Foundation Magazine. Sorry I have not kept you abreast of published images for the past year or more...too busy!

As part of the redevelopment of Barangaroo the tower has ben decomissioned, but a long battle to save it from demolition has failed.

Today I became a published photographer. One of my photos is on the cover of a local tourist magazine. This is the first time I've had a photo used in print. Had some used on websites before, but that's all until today. 35,000 copies are being distributed to the towns listed on the cover. It's not Nat Geo, but I'll take it. lol
The photo used was taken last November from Foothills Parkway looking toward the Great Smoky Mountains.

Veronica filiformis may be considered a weed, but last year I transplanted some out of the lawn into the garden. It's one of the first flowers to appear in spring and it's still going, spritzing the cheddar pinks with incredible blue specks.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
There was some nice light over Bronte Beach over the weekend.
This was just after sunrise, and the pastel skies and soft light off the water really appealed to me.
I'm sorting old photos and posting a few interesting ones. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Jan. 3, 2022.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The lesser flamingo (Phoenicoparrus minor) is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, with another population in India. Birds are occasionally reported from further north, but these are generally considered vagrants. It was moved from the genus Phoeniconaias to Phoenicoparrus in 2014.
The lesser flamingo is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is a tall and large bird by most standards. The species can weigh from 1.2 to 2.7 kg (2.6 to 6.0 lb). The standing height is around 80 to 90 cm (31 to 35 in). The total length (from beak to tail) and wingspan are in the same range of measurements, from 90 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in). Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, the only other Old World species of flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. Size is less helpful unless the species are together, since the sexes of each species also differ in height.
The lesser flamingo may be the most numerous species of flamingo, with a population that (at its peak) probably numbered up to two million individual birds. This species feeds primarily on Spirulina, algae which grow only in very alkaline lakes. Presence of flamingo groups near water bodies is indication of sodic alkaline water which is not suitable for irrigation use. Although blue-green in colour, the algae contain the photosynthetic pigments that give the birds their pink colour. Their deep bill is specialised for filtering tiny food items.

Lake Amboseli is located in the Nyiri Desert (also called Taru or Nyika Desert ) that stretches along southern border of Kenya and Tanzania. The name ‘lake’ is a bit of a misnomer as for most of the year all it is is a massive flat desert pan with no water in it, except after extended rains, when it becomes an alkaline lake.

Early morning light shining through the heavy fog.
Yarramundi reserve, Springwood, just outside Richmond.
I had a longer than usual visit there last Sunday--I seemed to be the only one there, despite the better-than-predicted weather.
A simple image from sunrise this morning. Just great to be out early - not too cold and a beautiful still morning on the beach.
WINTER WONDERLAND
Heavy frost turned much of the Prairies into a picture postcard last month. This photo was taken near Deerwood, Man.
On January 15 2009 US Airways Flight 1549 crashed into the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey. All 155 people survived. There were no fatalities thanks to the quick response of the pilot, crew, and rescue workers. The water temp was aprox 40 degrees and the air temp was in the 20's. Many of the passengers exited the plane and climbed onto the wings until rescue boats came to lift them to safety. As passengers from the ill fated flight were being brought onto the numerous boats that responded, divers from the NYPD Scuba Unit deployed from a helicopter to assist with the rescue and search for potential victims still inside the plane. This plane left from Laguardia airport in Queens NY and was destined for North Carolina. It was truly a miracle that EVERYONE was able to walk away from such circumstances. (more pictures will follow)

The bright green seaweed growing on this rock shelf would hav been a major focal point if the sunrise hadn't stolen the show.
An amazing sunrise at Bungan Beach / Mona Vale Headland.
A large and conspicuous waterbird, the cormorant has an almost primitive appearance with its long neck making it appear almost reptilian...It is often seen standing with its wings held out to dry. Regarded by some as black, sinister and greedy, cormorants are supreme fishers which can bring them into conflict with anglers and they have been persecuted in the past...The UK holds internationally important wintering numbers...

Compilation of the Krautrock label Ohr, published in 1971. 2 LPs, both good, particularly the second one, which has mostly instrumental tracks that are unusually experimental and long for a compilation. Some of them, however, have been cut shorter. Well, they had to make some compromise, I guess. Annexus Quam is gigantic.
I have another Ohr compilation, called Ohrenschmaus, with similar music. But I don't like its cover so I won't post it on Flickr.
Gatefold cover designed by Helmut Friz. Later a CD with a very similar cover became available, but it's not as good as this one.

A sudden rush of light across the Grosse river as the sun breaks through the patchy cloud.
I was in the process of packing up and making my way back up the river bank when the light broke through. One mad rush back down to the shoreline to set up and catch the light before it faded.
30 seconds later and it was gone again.
