Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in profile close-up. The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes and is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It typically scavenges on carcasses. Although this is a common species, numbers of these birds are decreasing rapidly. Threats include poisoning, hunting and loss of habitat, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "critically endangered". It is a small species compared to most vultures.

Rated as one of the top fifteen rooftop restaurants in the world. Overlooks the Old Town Square in Pargue.
While in Lima nearly 10 years ago now, I had the joy and privilege of meeting Claudia Luthi, a wonderful photographer and a wonderful human being who sadly is no longer with us.
We spent the better part of a day exploring on foot a region she has photographed extensively and which was the subject of her essay for the Souvenirs exhibition we were both involved in. This series of small towns, about an hour’s drive south of Lima, are in a narrow stretch of land between the Panamerican highway and the sea. They were developed as seaside resorts in recent years, with a high rate of economic failure. Out of season the area is virtually deserted and eerily peaceful.
SASSI DI MATERA - The most spectacular City in Italy, the ancient neighbourhoods, known as sassi, are a series of grottoes carved out of limestone, teetering on the edge of a ravine.
Until the 1950s, Matera was a source of shame for Italy, a place of poverty, malaria and high rates of infant mortality, where people lived in caves without electricity, running water or sewage and indesperate conditions were people living in; between 1953 and 1968 about half of the 30,000 population were moved to new homes in the modern part of the city.

Japan has serious problems with the declining birth rate and actually there are few babies in a big city like Tokyo.
My simple question is what sort of adult they will be when small number of babies are raised in such modern and neat urban space.
Will they get the clarity of mind to solve every issue in a logical manner?
Background in this image is a public facility complex of Minato-ku which is the wealthiest ward in Japan. Minato-ku decided to support up to 600,000 yen (equivalent to 5,985 US dollars) for each childbirth in order that the expense of the delivery becomes free virtually.
Again I wonder to myself. Does this become one of the effective ways to stop the declining birth rate?
Thanks to everyone who took time to view, comment or fave!
Ospreys such as this one are unique among North American raptors for their ability to dive into water to catch fish, which is their primary food source. And they are very good at it. "Over several studies, Ospreys caught fish on at least 1 in every 4 dives, with success rates sometimes as high as 70 percent," according to AllAboutBirds.org. This bird was photographed near the Fox River in Northern Illinois.

The glacier was said to be advancing downstream at a rate of between 1.50m and 3m per day, under the pressure of the mass of ice accumulating at the top, and is crumbling and breaking as it meets the Rico River.
The glacier crumbles and breaks up when it meets the Rico River, but in the centre of the picture is the area where the glacier occasionally blocks the flow of water from the left-hand branch of the Rico, and the water accumulates in the upper branch and the flow decreases in the lower branch, which flows into the lake. The water then accumulates in the upper arm, the flow decreases on the lower arm which joins the lake. The water gradually digs into the base of the glacier..... which, at the critical moment, collapses, releasing enormous masses of water.This sudden influx of water rushes downstream, tearing away part of the banks in the process....... To this end, the footbridges do not go down to the bottom of the slope from which the photo was taken...
*****************************************************************************
Se dice que el glaciar está avanzando río abajo a un ritmo de entre 1,50 m y 3 m por día, bajo la presión de la masa de hielo que se acumula en la cima, y se está desmoronando y rompiendo al encontrarse con el río Rico.
El glaciar se desmorona y se rompe al encontrarse con el río Rico, pero en el centro de la imagen se encuentra la zona en la que el glaciar bloquea ocasionalmente el flujo de agua de la rama izquierda del Rico, y el agua se acumula en la rama superior y el flujo disminuye en la rama inferior, que desemboca en el lago. El agua se acumula entonces en el brazo superior, el caudal disminuye en el brazo inferior que se une al lago. El agua va cavando poco a poco en la base del glaciar..... que, en el momento crítico, se derrumba, liberando enormes masas de agua.Esta repentina afluencia de agua se precipita río abajo, arrancando parte de las orillas en el proceso....... Para ello, las pasarelas no bajan hasta el fondo de la ladera desde la que se tomó la foto...

Just like me :) Peyto Lake, a must see...it was a hike to get up here in the heat but worth it. Judging by my mail i thought it was time I poked my head up. This summer has been quite adventuresome to say the least. Most of the places i explored had no cell service, just the way i like it. Met some really interesting people along the way, Brits being high on the list as the nicest people....needless to say never a dull moment. This is exactly how i saw this lake. If you don't believe me there are plenty of images on google to look at. Couldn't be a more perfect day. The Alberta Rockies stir my soul and make me come undone like no other place on earth. Have a great weekend!!

As I cycle up Glen Shee from the Spittal of Glenshee the days out wonderfully bright as the morning sun lights the dramatic landscape around me. Unfortunately this isn't to last and the weather closes in the higher I climb towards Glas Tulaichean.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
I'm sure O'hare is as big of a mess as Schiller Park was on this fine snowy afternoon. The WC Y0175 pig transfer for Bedford Park is sitting on the Gauntlet with Super John Fenliciki chomping at the bit to go while a CSX Grand Rapids crew (you can plainly see) is in their usual no hurry to depart on CP 504 out track 7 to B-12. He's doubled out of the south end of the yard at Soering Avenue before power switches and CTC... A SOO SD60 is very rare on jobs that always rated CP SD40's and sometimes MLW's in their final winter in 1996.... I'm sure 3025 is warm, I guess its time to crawl back up on my geep and have another cup of coffee, it's going to be another all day, one-way adventure...
In the Caribbean where black-throated blue warblers winter and in the North American forests where they breed, El Nino brings drought. Insects and other arthropods become scarce, making it more difficult for birds to find food. In El Nino years they suffered high mortality rates on their wintering grounds in Jamaica and relatively few young fledged at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, a location where the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) scientists seek to understand how climate change affects migratory songbirds, such as the black-throated blue warbler and ovenbird.
Isotropic signatures suggest that black-throated blue warblers from the northern part of their breeding range tend to winter on the westerly Caribbean islands, Cuba and Jamaica. Those from the southern United Stares winter on the easterly islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. These findings could explain why black-throated blue warblers in the southern United Stares are declining more quickly than those in the northern portion of the range. It may not be a coincidence that the most extensive deforestation in the Greater Antilles has occurred on Hispaniola.

American Bird Association rates birds from 1-6 depending on how hard they are to find. 1 being the most common to a 6 birds that are thought to be extinct on extinct. This Bananaquit is a code 4 to give you an idea how tough it is to see it in the United States (Florida may be the only State you can find this bird). Bird is attracted to exotic garden with abundant flowers where it drinks their sweet nectar.
Bananaquit description:
Small and short-tailed with short, decurved black bill. Gray-black above with white throat and yellow belly with bold white stripe over eyes. Continuing rarity found at Richardson Historic Park and Nature Preserve in Broward County, Florida.
P.S. I have seen this species in Brazil and the Bahamas before but not in the USA.

Triplet lenses perform much better when stopped down, but their technical failings wide open have a certain appeal of their own. With the aperture almost open and without pushing the HP5, a kind of impressionistic look (old look, retro look, vintage look) is created: overall low contrast as well as only moderate sharpness in the center of the image and blurred corners. For comparison, see the previously posted picture of the same scene, taken under quite similar light conditions but with the lens stopped down.

I don’t usually take photographs in toilets – no really, honestly, I don’t! – but here at the Crown and Cushion restaurant near Camberley in Surrey, I couldn’t resist. Mind you, it was a hastily snatched image, in case anyone came in…
Anyway, the picture on the wall and the setting amused me as much as it did the management, I suspect. Oh, and in the restaurant itself the food, service and table spacing were top rate, too!
