We almost ran over it! A small blue spot in the middle of the road. Likely knocked out by grazing a car. It recovered in time.
Seokchon Lake Park.
Il lago Seokchon era originariamente una parte del fiume Han.
C'era un'isola chiamata Burido nel mezzo del fiume Han che lo divideva in due, il fiume Songpa (la parte settentrionale) e il fiume Sincheon (la parte meridionale).
Nell'aprile del 1971, iniziò un progetto di costruzione per collegare Burido con la terraferma.
Proseguì allargando il fiume Songpa e chiudendo il fiume Sincheon.
A causa di questa costruzione, la parte meridionale chiusa del fiume Han divenne il lago Seokchon e il terreno creato dal progetto di bonifica divenne Jamsil-dong e Sincheon-dong.
Negli anni '70, dopo la costruzione, il lago Seokchon e l'area circostante erano sgradevoli alla vista.
Fu creato un sentiero pedonale e piantati alberi, trasformando l'area in un parco.
In seguito, il lago Seokchon divenne inquinato causando un cattivo odore.
La gente evitava il parco del lago Seokchon per questo motivo.
Nel 2001, Songpagu lo ha designato come attrazione turistica e ha avviato un progetto di manutenzione per ripulire l'acqua e consentire il recupero del sistema ecologico.
Seokchon Lake Park.
Seokchon Lake was originally a part of the Han River.
There was an island called Burido in the middle of the Han River that divided it into two, the Songpa River (the northern part) and the Sincheon River (the southern part).
In April 1971, a construction project began to connect Burido with the mainland.
It went on to widen the Songpa River and close off the Sincheon River.
Because of this construction, the closed off southern part of the Han River became Seokchon Lake, and the land created by the reclamation project became Jamsil-dong and Sincheon-dong.
In the 1970s, after construction, Seokchon Lake and the surrounding area were unsightly.
A walking path was created and trees were planted, turning the area into a park.
Later, Seokchon Lake became polluted, causing a bad smell.
People avoided Seokchon Lake Park because of this.
In 2001, Songpagu designated it as a tourist attraction and initiated a maintenance project to clean the water and allow the ecological system to recover.

Druid CTA - recovering a load with mead that somehow got lost at sea. Luckily most of the barrels washed ashore on Nexus, together with bits and pieces of the ship that carried them. And a viking axe.....
Excerpt from youractionsmatter.ca/one-drop/:
One Drop:
• Coral ecosystems make up less than 1% of the ocean floor yet are home to over 25% of all marine wildlife.
• While you may think of coral as exclusively tropical reefs, more than half of all known coral species are deep and cold-water corals.
• Canada has several cold-water coral habitats, with sites off the coasts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Nunavut, and British Columbia.
• Cold-water coral reefs serve as a home for thousands of known sea animals and possibly millions of undiscovered species, making them one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems.
• Far from sunlight and hundreds to thousands of meters deep in the ocean, these cold-water corals have lifespans that can span centuries.
• Climate change, oil and gas exploration, and overfishing severely threaten Canada’s cold-water corals.
• As humans pump more carbon into the atmosphere, our oceans become more acidic, hampering corals’ ability to grow.
• The effects of oil and gas exploration, from contaminated drill bits to oil leaks, can also significantly contaminate cold-water corals.
• Most disturbingly, unsustainable fishing practices like bottom trawling can decimate coral habitats. When disturbed by bottom trawling, up to 90% of a coral colony perishes.
• Fortunately, cold-water corals have the ability to recover. However due to their slow growth rates, some as little as 3 mm per year, they need decades to start regenerating.
• This is why the establishment of permanent marine protected areas that explicitly prohibit unsustainable fishing practices and oil and gas exploration are so crucial.
Coral reefs are home to a quarter of all marine life and contain millions of undiscovered species. They are biodiversity hotspots, unmatched in species per area. More than just ecological treasures, coral reefs underpin the livelihood of more than 500 million people globally. However, despite their profound importance, 70% of the world’s reefs are currently threatened. The world has already lost half of its coral reefs since 1950, and scientific estimates suggest that we may lose them all by 2050 if urgent action is not taken.
The degradation of reefs doesn’t just mean losing biodiversity; it could directly affect human health. Various drugs are derived from animals and plants found in coral reef ecosystems as possible cures for cancer, arthritis, and other diseases. With the current rate of degradation, such potential discoveries could be lost forever.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play an invaluable role in safeguarding the health and longevity of coral ecosystems and habitats. The vibrant, intricate biodiversity found within these areas is highly susceptible to threats such as climate change, overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. MPAs effectively mitigate these pressures by regulating human activities in these regions. They serve as sanctuaries where coral ecosystems can regenerate and thrive.
Given the vital role that coral reefs play in our ecosystems, and the urgent threat they face, it is critical to take action to protect them before it's too late. MPAs are integral in safeguarding coral ecosystems and habitats, ensuring their survival for future generations.
Day 86 / 365
I recovered this from a completely blown out image (entirely white). I must remember not to take a pictures in shadows and then try to get the moon in daylight without adjusting. After I lowered the exposure to get back to the shoot I took, I had an unusual picture that I kinda like. It also shows some sensor banding that I kinda don't like.
House Martin / delichon urbicum. Derbyshire. 17/06/23.
'ENIGMA BIRD.'
A juvenile House Martin that I rescued during the summer.
* The full background story is given in a previous post.
The little beauty was photographed when I returned home.
Initially, placed in the shelter of a wood pile so the feathers could dry out, it settled quickly and calmly in order to recover.
The image suggests it knew exactly where it belonged, as it often raised its eyes skyward before getting placed inside a cardboard box.
* Thankfully my actions resulted in a happy ending that you may think worth checking out ...
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Local Pond recovering from fly tipping...plenty of birds around but all darted in the reeds when they spotted me.
Hello everyone!! I've been sick these weeks with a cold, or what I hope was a cold, and I've already recovered and I'm back with new things for you!!

Thanks for stopping by.. have a lovely day..
You would never know that her leg has a line of staples and stitches in it. She is her old self again...a good and bad thing. lol
Bloodied & tired from dental work but recovering well ... she still has her appetite 'tho we need to be careful ... nothing too soft to too hard ... just mouthfuls to swallow whole.
Here are the best figures I could make out of the castle figs I’ve dug up so far. Was plate feet medieval ever a thing?

Rufus gets really concerned when Izzy goes out, especially at night. He stayed in the main room until 12.45 when Graham said he'd have to go to bed. But even then Rufus kept coming in and out until Izzy came home.
Rufus: "When she came in, I gave her a very good sniff to make sure she was OK and then Mum gave me an extra treatie biscuit because I'd had a confused evening. Thanks Mum." ♥
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

This was shot through a dirty hotel window, at a distance, since there was no space on the window ledge, hence the results. From the recently recovered HD, which for years I'd deemed lost and unrecoverable.
Another pic of KJ. This one a few hours after the one I posted the other day. He returned to his cows, and my understanding is he later moved them to a different meadow and away from the rival bulls.
Originally, this was a potted flower (I think it is a Cape daisy) in our living room, but as it seemed that it was dying, my father planted it in our garden, where it is now recovering. I hope you like it!
this is what I look like now. I took this when I woke up, and I look tired and serious, but I like it that way. I'm moving back to school soon, leaving my boyfriend and my best friend behind, so my mood has been a bit somber lately. I think everything is going to be just fine.
It is easy to see where the recovering excavation had to start, just in front of the "modern" buildings behind thr remains of Herculaneum.
Recently, Boris underwent surgery to remove those bits that made him most a male.
He has now recovered.
Seal Team 4 Group Bravo have recovered the downed pilot. Area is a hot pocket filled with SAM Sites so will egress North for extract.
The city that has always turned its back on its coast, is slowly taking care of it. He still has a lot to do.
Gabriel Gehr, age 22, swam in the 2015 Oceanside Pier Swim, in the Restart Males division. He finished 9th in his division and his overall place was 216th out of 278 participants. Gehr’s overall time was 00:33:18.
Gehr sustained shrapnel injuries to his left side in 2013. After a lot of physical therapy and medical appointments, Gehr has gotten to the stage where he could participate in this challenging swim event. A fellow marine walks beside Gehr in support after Gehr completed the swim. For more information, read the article, Ohio Marine Receives Purple Heart.
Additional photos of Gehr show him walking to the race start and exiting the water.

De la grande visite sur la perche de Sophie (la Martin-pêcheur d'Amérique de l'été passé)...
Avril a été un mois particulièrement froid et gris au Québec, la glace vient tout juste de quitter le lac hier le 09 mai 2018 et mes premier oiseaux mouches sont arrivé en après-midi. Il y a eu plusieurs moralités de Cerfs de Virginie tout le mois d'avril et j'avait récupéré une carcasse que j'ai déposé juste sur la glace du lac devant la maison histoire d'avoir de l'action autour de chez moi. J'ai installé ma petite tente camouflage dans l'espoir d'y observer les Pygargues qui avait passé l'hiver dans ma région et qui habituellement passe dans ma vallée lors de leur retour à leurs sites de reproductions plus au nord. Pas de Pygargues mais de Urubus, Corbeaux, Corneilles d'Amérique, renards et loups m'ont rendu
visite.

Big visit on Sophie's pole (The Kingfisher from last summer)...
April was a particularly cold and gray month in Quebec, the ice just left the lake yesterday, May 09, 2018 and my first Hummingbird arrived in the afternoon. There were many white-tailed deer mortality during April and I had recovered a carcasse that I deposited just on the ice of the lake in front of the house in hope to have action in the area. I set up my little observer tent in the hope of seeing some Bald Eagles that had spent the winter in my area and which usually passes in my valley when they return to their breeding sites further north. No Eagles but Turkey Vulture, Ravens, Crows, foxes and wolves did visited me.
The village of Glenridding was devastated by the flooding in December, not once but, twice. The Beck (a small stream taking water from the adjacent mountains) was incapable of handling the volume of water and, it's banks were breached in many places. The village was effectively cut off from civilisation . Fortunately, the spirit of the village is strong and, it is springing back to some semblance of normality.
