8th September 2012 - Panavia Tornado GR4 'ZA547' wearing the 1,000,000 hour special scheme creates its own weather above the beach at Southport. This airframe was sadly reduced to spares at RAF Leeming in January 2014.
Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby seen in the Flinders Ranges South Australia.
"A large brightly-coloured and distinctively-marked rock-wallaby. Generally fawn-grey, white ventrally, with rich orange to bright yellow forearms, hind limbs and feet. Prominent dark mid-dorsal stripe from top of head to middle of back. Long ears and dark auxiliary patch. White stripes on cheeks, sides and hips.
Population numbers were drastically reduced following European settlement by a combination of factors such as habitat alteration by livestock, hunting for sport and the fur trade and predation by introduced predators."
Because of the safety measures implemented during Covid-19, there is a reduced collection of downtown Springfield, Mo regulars. Some, such as these couple of skate boarders, utilize the ghost town as a surrogate for their otherwise closed usual hang-outs.
I appreciate Dominic and his friend for inviting me to shoot them during their trick boarding session.
This is for my Flickr friends who rarely or never get to see snow where they live. We are under a winter storm watch as I type this. However, the earlier prediction of 5 to 8 inches has now been reduced to 3 to 5 inches. I'll be happy with the minimum. Still, I must say I totally enjoyed watching this little red squirrel this morning as it busily tunneled under the snow and then suddenly came popping up to look around (and maybe catch its breath!)
A strong dairy barn stands ready to do what it once did but instead now houses goats. Once we reach a certain stage in life, our life's work is replaced by something else, usually with us playing a reduced role.
day 2 of the monsoons. At least we don't have the wind today. The dog keeps whining to go out, then puts her nose out of the door and comes straight back in. So looks like a day to catch up on some paperwork - whoopeeeee!
Here I am standing on the edge of Lake Michigan during a polar vortex. The wind and blowing snow made it nearly impossible to get one shot without snow completely covering my lens. But somehow I managed to get a few. The sun was trying to shine thru the clouds at sunset. Snow squalls come and go making a very dramatic stormy feel to it.
Snowy Egret
The Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) is a small white heron. It is the American counterpart to the very similar Old World little egret, which has established a foothold in the Bahamas. At one time, the beautiful plumes of the snowy egret were in great demand by market hunters as decorations for women's hats. This reduced the population of the species to dangerously low levels. Now protected in the United States by law, under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, this bird's population has rebounded.

Un rapace perdu dans le silence du soir, immobile sur une branche nue, face à un ciel dénudé.
Une image dépouillée où la nature se résume à trois éléments : l’oiseau, l’arbre et la lumière.
Dans cette simplicité se cache toute la force du minimalisme : moins d’objets, plus de présence.

A raptor lost in the silence of evening, motionless on a bare branch against a stripped‑down sky.
A stripped‑back image where nature reduces itself to three elements: the bird, the tree, and the light.
Within this simplicity lies the strength of minimalism: fewer things, more presence.

Ruin of Teylingen Castle
The ruin of Teylingen Castle is a round moated castle that dominates the flat landscape. Originally there was only a ring wall; the keep was added later in the thirteenth century. In addition to the current castle, there was an extensive outer castle, which was also surrounded by a moat. A comfortable and luxurious house was built here in the fourteenth century.
The castle today consists of the still impressive round castle (37 m in diameter) on a castle island surrounded by a wide moat. On the inside of the wall you can see large savings arches on which a wall corridor has been placed. The massive residential building had also been erected against the wall. It is now an empty hull, but it used to have four storeys, the first of which was vaulted. The beam holes of the top floors can still be seen in the interior.
The castle was originally inhabited by the lords of Teylingen. The castle served to protect the Rijndijk and the road to Haarlem. The lords of Teylingen first appear in 1143. It is likely that the lords of Teylingen had borrowed the castle and the surrounding land from a count. In 1282 this family died out in the male line and the castle passed to the count.
The castle was given the function of hunting lodge and forester by the Dutch counts and the feudal man was given the title of forester and actually became a kind of civil servant with responsibility for management.
The most famous forester was Jacoba van Bavaria (1433). She came from the highest noble circles, but due to an unwanted marriage to Frank van Borsele had forfeited her rights to countlessness. She died of TB in 1436.
The castle was badly damaged during the Eighty Years' War. In 1572, during the siege of Haarlem and Leiden, Teylingen fell prey to the Spaniards and was reduced to ruin.
In 1888, the now heavily neglected castle was transferred to the state and the management of the monument was mainly focused on preservation and only since 1933 has further deterioration been prevented by constructive measures.
Since 1 June 2013, the ruin has been managed by: Stichting Beheer Kasteel Teylingen.
This chapel is a reduced scale reproduction of the Sacred House of Loreto in Italy. It is situated on top of a hill over looking the old town of Fribourg. The architecture style is Baroque.

If you look at the Google Street View of Ulm, you'll find this house as it was in 2014. The house is well-maintained, with an American flag flying on the porch. The yard is filled with a happy and vibrant selection of plants, and decorated with various knickknacks and bird baths. But on this rainy day in 2023 the house was abandoned. The yard was overgrown with brown weeds, with a crooked "Price Reduced" sign nearly hidden by a bush. I don't know what happened here, but we can guess. I can easily imagine a scenario, where the original owners were elderly, but they loved and dedicated their lives to this house and its yard. But when they sadly passed on, and there was no one to take care of the house or the property. It was put up for sale, but there were no takers. And then time passed along, as it always does.
Reduced to the essentials. Concrete, branches, light.

Minimalismus im Winterlicht
Reduktion auf das Wesentliche. Beton, Zweige, Licht.
Einen fliegenden Bussard zu fotografieren gelingt noch relativ leicht. Allerdings möchte man ja nicht einfach nur senkrecht in den Himmel schauen wo der Greifvogel aussieht wie der Drachen aus Kindertagen. Die meisten Menschen finden andere Perspektiven attraktiver. Bei dieser Aufnahme flog der Bussard zwar auch in 15-20m Höhe aber ich stand seitlich und der Aufnahmewinkel mit dem Teleobjektiv war flacher, so dass man den Bussard mehr im Profil sieht. Mir gefällt diese Perspektive besser als nur ein "Bauchfoto".
Tech. Detail: Seit einigen Monaten drehe ich nicht mehr selber am Farbregler, sondern verwende für meine Bilder nur noch die Farbprofile, die Canon in meine Kamera eingebaut hat. Meist verwende ich dann "Landschaft" oder "Portrait" als Bildstil. Das Licht bei dieser Aufnahme war jedoch so knallig, dass ich hier "Standard" verwendet habe, damit der Farbeindruck des Gefieders nicht unrealistisch "bunt" ist. Die einzige weitere Anpassung im Bereich Farbe war dann, dass ich Grün zurücknehmen musste weil der Bussard über einer grünen Wiese flog und von unten grün angeleuchtet wurde. Man sieht es noch aber es dominiert nicht mehr.
Um den fliegenden Bussard besonders detailreich sehen zu können, drückt die Tasten l (kleines L) und F11. Beim vergrößern nur durch Anklicken gehen euch viele Details verloren.
Photographing a flying buzzard is relatively easy. However, you don't just want to look straight up into the sky where the bird of prey looks like the kite from childhood. Most people find other perspectives more attractive. In this shot, the buzzard was also flying at a height of 15-20m, but I was standing on the side and the angle of the shot with the telephoto lens was flatter, so that you can see the buzzard more in profile. I like this perspective better than just a "belly photo".
tech Detail: For a few months now, I've only been using the colour profiles that Canon built into my camera for my pictures. I usually use the "Landscape" or "Portrait" picture style. However, the light in this shot was so bright that I had to use "Standard" so that the colour impression of the plumage is not unrealistically "colourful". The only other adjustment in the colour area was that I had to reduce the green because the buzzard was flying over a green meadow and was being illuminated in green from below. You can still see it, but is does not dominate the impression.

Sunbeam cars first appeared in 1901 and, from the outset, were involved with racing, competition and land speed record attempts. Bought out by the Rootes brothers, the name Sunbeam was then linked with Talbot until 1954, the year this car was built.
Based on the Hillman but with better performance, Sunbeam was the sportiest of the Rootes Group’s range. The Mk IIA had engine refinements and ventilated holes in the wheels to help cool the enlarged brakes. The flowing lines of the bonnet and wings were aerodynamically designed and wind noise was reduced to a minimum. The standard column mounted gear change was so unreliable that dealers offered customers free conversion to floor change.
Sunbeams were popular as rally and competition cars, with successes in the Monte Carlo and Alpine rallies. In production from 1952 to 1954, only 9,708 of this model were made.
This blue 1954 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk. IIA, TYJ341, is on display at Haynes Motor Museum.
I normally fly my drone for work purposes but on this day I turned the drone around to check out the view.
There are a few boats waiting to come in and guess what coloured car is popular in Australia.
Take a look around.

This picture was taken with the Leica Q3 at an autumn afternoon at Großer Ahornboden. Behind the valley with the colorful trees we can see Eiskarlspitze (left) and Spritzkarspitze (right).
I masked the sky to be able to optimize mountain landscape and sky separately. Finally I added a small radial gradation filter with the sun star in the center of it to reduce overexposure at that part of the picture and make the sunstar appear a bit clearer.

This is the valley of the River Kent at the appropriately named Sandside, near Milnthorpe. When the river is at low tide, there are large sandbanks, and the river is reduced to a stream. This is just off the road that leads to Arnside, which overlooks the river estuary. The River Kent then flows into the north of Morecambe Bay.
Despite this Red Squirrel's environment being severely reduced by forestry works it has chosen [at less temporarily] not to relocate.

This is an image of part of the Veil Nebula - a Supernova remnant found in the constellation of Cygnus. While often imaged in narrowband this image is a broadband version.
Present in this area of the complex is the Witch's Broom Nebula, NGC 6960 and Pickering's Triangle.
The filamentous nature of the nebula is due to the interstellar shockwave from the supernova causing glowing filaments of excited interstellar material.
The red colour is due to atomic hydrogen and the teal colour is due to oxygen. These being separated into filaments.
The blazing star is giant 52 Cygni and is not connected to the nebula, its position being a line of sight effect.
The Witch's broom is around 35 light-years across and lies at a distance of 1400 light-years.
Pickering's Triangle is the fainter of the two and has no formal NGC number although NGC 6979 is occasionally used as reference.
Although imaged last October due to personal circumstances I have only just got around to analysing the data.
As always many thanks for looking!
Imaged with an Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC camera. Esprit matched focal reducer.
A total of 2hrs Exposure with temp. matched darks, flats & dark flats.
A reduced palette again, only this time I went for the dark. Mannequins continue to be a favoured subject for me. I live and work in the downtown of a major metropolis, one that's growing at break-neck speed. So urban themes are the most immediately accessible and by being a 'downtowner' such themes are subject to my constant observation.
Music Link: "Nightporter" - Japan, from their album "Gentlemen Take Polaroids". David Sylvian's deeply moody, nighttime lament came to mind when looking at this finished image. The loneliness of night in his song is beautifully palpable. Here the image can be seen as both a portrayal of the denizens of night in a big, dark city and literally of mannequins in a shop window that one might see during a long, solitary walk in urban caverns. "Nightporter" is still a favourite of Sylvian's audience even though he left Japan over 30 years ago for a remarkable solo career.
