My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
So this photo is a bit of a novelty for me - at least here on Flickr, but it's also a journey back in time in a sense. I've always loved b/w and sepia photography; already as a very young teenager I would go out into the woods with an old Pentax Spotmatic (which I had nicked from my father) whenever it was a foggy day to shoot b/w compositions of sunbeams cutting through the ghostlike trees.
I used films with a sensitivity of at least 1600 (for those of you who remember what that means 😉 ), and the resulting photos had an incredibly fine grain which I loved; I blew them up to the size of posters and hung them on the walls of my teenage man-cave next to Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Slash.
But then I abandoned photography altogether for 20 years, and when I finally picked up a camera again, it was one of the digital kind. Now neither film nor grain played any role in my photographic endeavours - let alone b/w compositions: because the reason I fell in love with shooting pictures once more was the rare and incredibly colorful lizard species that had chosen my garden as its habitat.
It's this species - the Lacerta bilineata aka the western green lizard - that my photo website www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ and also my Flickr gallery are dedicated to, but I've since expanded that theme a bit so that it now comprises the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat, which is to say my garden and its immediate surroundings and all the flora and fauna I find in it.
I like that my gallery and the website have this clear theme, because in order to rise to the challenge of portraying all aspects of a very specific little eco system (which also happens to be my home of sorts), it forces me to constantly explore it from fresh angles, and I keep discovering fascinating new motives as my photographic journey continues.
Which brings me to the horse pasture you see in this photo. This playground for happy horsies lies just outside my garden, and it normally only interests me insofar as my green reptile friends claim parts of it as their territory, and I very much prefer it to be horseless (which it thankfully often is).
Not that the horses bother the reptiles - the lizards don't mind them one bit, and I've even seen them jump from the safety of the fly honeysuckle shrub which the pasture borders on right between the deadly looking hooves of the horses to forage for snails, without any sign of fear or even respect.
No, the reason I have a very conflicted relationship with those horses is that they are mighty cute and that there's usually also foals. The sight of those beautiful, happy animals jumping around and frolicking (it's a huge pasture and you can tell the horses really love it) is irresistible: and that inevitably attracts what in the entire universe is known as the most destructive anti-matter and ultimate undoing of any nature photographer: other humans.
Unlike with the horses, the lizards ARE indeed very much bothered by specimens of loud, unpredictable Homo sapiens sapiens - which makes those (and by extension also the horses) the cryptonite of this here reptile photographer. It's not the horses' fault, I know that, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm just telling you how it is (and some of you might have read about the traumatic events I had to endure to get a particular photo - if not, read at your own risk here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... - which clearly demonstrated that even when it's entirely horseless, that pasture is still a threat for artistic endeavours).
But back to the photo. So one morning during my vacation back in May I got up quite early. It had rained all night, and now the fog was creeping up from the valley below to our village just as the sky cleared up and the morning sun started to shine through the trees.
And just as I did when I was a teenager I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph this beautiful mood of ghostlike trees and sunbeams cutting through the mist. There had already been such a day a week earlier (which is when I took this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51543603732/in/datepo... ), but this time, the horses were also there.
Because of our slightly strained relationship I only took this one photo of them (I now wish I had taken more: talk about missed opportunities), and otherwise concentrated on the landscape. It was only later when I went through all the photos on my computer that I realized that I actually really liked those horses, even despite the whole composition being such a cliché. And I realized another thing: when I drained the photo of all the color, I liked it even better - because there was almost a bit of grain in it, like in the photos from my youth.
Since then I have experimented quite a bit with b/w and sepia compositions (some of which I will upload here eventually I guess), but this photo here is the first one that helped me rediscover my old passion. I hope you like it even though it builds quite a stark contrast with the rest of my tiny - and very colorful - gallery. But in the spirit of showing you the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat (and also in the spirit of expanding my gallery a bit beyond lizards and insects), I think it's not such a bad fit.
As always, many greetings to all of you, have a wonderful day and don't hesitate to let me know what you think 😊

A tighter crop on a beautiful sunrise in Canmore AB. Mt. Lawrence Grassi, Ha Ling Peak and Ship's Prow reflected in Policeman's Creek.
Mount Lawrence Grassi is named for an Italian miner, who emigrated to the country in 1912. In addition to his career as a miner, he was an avid climber and became well-known and well-respected as a climbing guide at the time.
Mt. Ha Ling is named for the intrepid Chinese cook that first scaled its intimidating summit in 1896, who climbed it on a bet. This prominent peak is situated between Mt. Rundle and the Three Sisters and is over 2408 meters.
So much beauty in the Canadian Rockies.
I'm off to visit my 93 year-old father and other family members I've not seen for over a year. Many hugs ahead!
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
...you just want to hold on.
In the morning in the Wittlich valley, as so often a mix of fog, clouds, sun, a single bird, looking after what's there, the smells and voices of the early day...
...möchte man einfach festhalten.
Morgens in der Wittlicher Senke, wie so oft ein Mix aus Nebel, Wolken, Sonne, ein einzelner Vogel, der nachsieht, was es gibt, die Gerüche und Stimmen des frühen Tages...

At the end of a night on the Devils Garden Campground in Arches NP, the thunder of a thunderstorm approaching from Canyonlands woke us up. From a safe distance, we were able to observe and photograph the scenery during the golden hour before sunrise.
Am Ende einer Nacht auf dem Devils Garden Campground im Arches NP weckte uns der Donner eines von Canyonlands heranziehenden Gewitters. Aus sicherer Entfernung konnten wir die Szenerie während der goldenen Stunde ca. 1/2 Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang beobachten und fotografieren.

When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Back to Alpine Texas for another Respect Big Bend (respectbigbend.org/) workshop with our Stakeholder Advisory Group. Flew thru Midland and caught a glimpse of the energy colony that the area between Midland & Odessa has become - amazing to see. In case you are thinking those are houses - no they are oil and gas well pads.

When I took this picture, the owner told me to keep my fingers away from the beak. They have very powerful beaks that can generate a pressure of 500 up to 2,000+ psi (pounds per square inch). Humans, for example, average a bite force of around 150 psi.
This image was captured at Parrot In Paradise, a parrot rescue, rehabilitation, education and adoption center. We were fortunate enough to stay on the property during our travels on the Big Island of Hawaii. . Being invited into the aviaries with these gorgeous birds was exciting. I was new to using a macro lens and found myself moving closer and closer to the birds. Before leaving I offered many of my photographs to the owners and throughout the years, those images have been used on their website. What golden memories!
One more of the many zebra photos I shot last summer. For me one of the most photogenic species...

Imagine you are on a dream beach in the summer and have it alone for you...
Reminiscent of the Caribbean, a manless sandy beach on the Isle of Harris, outer Hebrides.

Before the sun shone directly on the water in the morning and outshone it, I "played" a bit with exposure times and details.
The water has such a high falling speed that 1/8 to 1/10 exposure time is sufficient to make it soft and yet with a certain movement.

Die Blüten, inkl. Stiel, haben eine ungefähre Länge von 15 cm, geöffnete Blüten messen ca. 20 cm länge und haben einen Durchmesser von ca. 10-13 cm.
Schade blühen sie nur einen Tag lang.
The flower, including the stem, have an approximate length of 15 cm, opened flowers measure about 20 cm long and have a diameter of about 10-13 cm.
Too bad they bloom only for one day.
Las flores, incluido el tallo, tienen una longitud aproximada de 15 cm, las flores abiertas miden unos 20 cm de largo y tienen un diámetro de unos 10-13 cm.
Es una pena que sólo florezcan durante un día.

A ruff taking a bath in its pond.
They are amazing birds - in the mating season they wear a fantastic colourful plumage. At the other seasons they are grey-brown, but also beautiful.
This photo shows it in B&W to play a bit with contrast, light and shadow.

We need to be environmentally savvy and respect and care for our environment, by doing so we will leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. If we ignore being environmentally friendly we will be left with even more environmental havoc and land will be taken away from us forever.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMEjemplar de Tángara azulada, (Thaupis episcopus) ( En Costa Rica "Viudita"), con algunas curiosidades:
La tángara azulada (Thraupis episcopus) también conocida como azulejo de jardín, simplemente azulejo o viudita (en Costa Rica), es una especie de ave paseriforme americana de la familia Thraupidae. Se distribuye desde México hacia el sur, hasta el noreste de Bolivia y el norte de Brasil; en toda la cuenca Amazónica, excepto el extremo sur. Si bien en Perú es una especie propia de la amazonía, recientemente se han encontrado ejemplares en Lima, donde se han adaptado muy bien sin intervención humana aparente.
Se reconocen de 13 a 15 subespecies, de acuerdo a las variaciones en el matiz de azul en el hombro con respecto al resto del plumaje; pueden ser grisáceos, verdosos o azul púrpura con hombros color lavanda, azul oscuro o blanquecino.

Sword ferns often don't get the respect I think they should. They carry on with their lives, not asking much of us. A bit of water and some shade will help the average sword fern thrive. I knew they held a certain beauty with their arching fronds that sheltered the spiders and other little creatures in my garden. However, once I took a close look at the underside of one leaf, I had to know more. Here's a link: www.nwplants.com/business/catalog/pol_mun.html
All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)
"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.
The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.
The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.
Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)
Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)
Price:
Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.
After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.
Prims:
You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.
If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.
Privacy:
Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.
You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.
Music and parcel name and description:
If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.
Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.
Luanes Residential World Group:
"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.
Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.
Sincerely LuaneMeo.
Wishing all my WTBW friends Congratulations for our Third Anniversary! Thanks to you all for your wonderful artistic contributions for a better world over the past 3 years. Hopefully, in a small way we make a difference.
Let's all reach out beyond the divide and come together in kindness, tolerance, understanding, love, help, respect, positive thinking and actions, compassion and embrace our differences, my friends!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
A most humble bow of respect to the painters and woodblock artists who created the "ukiyo-e" celebrating the original "floating world" of the Edo period of Japanese history. (From the series: "The secret life of lily pads")
I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!
When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!
Problem solved!
I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.
So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!
The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?
El andén principal de la desaparecida estación de ferrocarril de Baza, cuya linea ferrea iba desde Murcia a Granada, y que era conocida como la linea del Almanzora,, dado que transcurria por el valle de dicho rio.
En la actualidad el trazado se encuentra repartido en varias líneas, de las cuales la sección Guadix - Baza - Almendricos está clausurada desde el año 1985 por la baja rentabilidad que tenia.
Aunque en un principio estaba proyectado como un único ferrocarril de carácter transversal, el trazado fue construido en diversas secciones entre los años 1.885 y 1.907, interviniendo en el proceso distintas compañías.
El cierre del trazado no estuvo exento de polémica en su época y fue muy criticado por la población de las zonas afectadas, dado que dejaba sin conexión ferroviaria a una gran área del Sureste español, y por este motivo, desde entonces ha habido diversas iniciativas ciudadanas que han buscado su reapertura, aunque sin éxito hasta la fecha, e incluso el proyecto de reapertura se encuentra dentro del Corredor del Mediterraneo, sin que hasta la fecha se sepa nada al respecto, solamente que se ha aprobado en marzo de 2004 la primera del estudio informativo, el cual debería haberse acabado al completo en otoño de 2023.
En la actualidad el recinto de la estación se utiliza como aparcamientos, para la realización del mercado semanal de venta ambulante y como recinto ferial, mientras que la linea ferrea, en distintos tramos, es una via verde-
It amazes me to think that the subtle, slow moving and constant forces of nature are seemingly always at work. Take an old railway track like this one where the force of nature has bent and changed the shape of this railway track. Simply Amazing.

Cet oiseau à tout pour plaire ! Peu farouche, on peut s'asseoir à distance respectable alors qu'il regarde son domaine sur un petit monticule dans la toundra. Parfois, sa tête tombe en avant, ses yeux se ferment... Il pique littéralement du bec et est parti pour la sieste. Ce n'est que lorsqu'il aura décidé d'aller voir ailleurs ou qu'une buse pattue passe en vol qu'il décolle.
Contrairement à son cousin le labbe parasite, le cleptoparasitisme en été est plutôt rare chez cette espèce. Il préfère chasser les rongeurs. On le voit d'ailleurs souvent faire du vol stationnaire au-dessus de la toundra, à la manière d'un faucon crécerelle.
Celui-ci était accompagné d'un jeune (volant). On a passé un moment à les observer, et le jeune semblait avoir quelque chose de coincé dans la gorge. Il a fini par régurgiter une masse noire peu ragoutante. Il l'a trifouillée un moment, se demandant s'il devait la manger à nouveau ou la laisser là. Quand ils sont partis, on est allé voir. C'était des restes de rongeur, on voyait très bien l'une des pattes !
