A poorly named morph - uncommon though - of the locally migratory Grey-Bellied cuckoo. Hepatic meaning relating to the liver (like Hepatitis), but here it is used to denote the liver-red color of the bird!
This is a brood parasitic cuckoo that appears during the rainy season and early winters. The bird is quite easily heard due its distinctive call. It lays its eggs in other birds nests like those of Bulbuls and Tailorbirds.
Y'day we witnessed a very interesting feeding frenzy of over 15-20 species of birds in a small 25 sq meter area in the countryside. It was at an intersection of 3 roads - single lane - on a forest road. 100's of moths were coming out of the ground and all the birds were in a frenzy to grab them for breakfast! We were too close (in fact in the middle of it by accident) and hence couldn't get many shots!. This shot was taken during the hunt when this bird landed close to us and grabbed a mouthful of moths before flying away.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback Much appreciated.
Still pulling through a slow order, WAPO is seen approaching the Penney Road overpass on a beautiful fall morning behind CSX C40-8 9280. I'm sure GSP can relate, but this spot has become horribly overgrown in recent years, the only slight consolation being the nice burst of fall colors that it brings.

Suzanne Vega is one of my favorite singers. This song Luka was so impressive that I couldn't get it out of my head after I heard it for the first time. Last year I read Dennis Lehane's The Kenzie-Gennaro novels. I couldn't help relate the song to the main characters' stories, Patrick Kenzie's childhood and Angela Gennaro's marriage. Dark, sad... Like the tears on the lotus flower's petals...

Oh, why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good, no, I'm nothing...
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence, of love, and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow!
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep deep deep in the heart of your sins
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
By you, visions of you, then you're gone
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you...
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two over you
Over you
I'd break in two
I would break in two for you
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't
The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.

The Swiss Way relates the history of Switzerland surrounded by a scenic landscape. The trail was constructed as a joint project of the cantons on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations of the Confederation (1291-1991). It begins on the Rütli Meadow, where the Confederation was founded, and ends in Brunnen in the Swiss Expatriates Square (Platz der Auslandschweizer).
A completely new view, for a long time on my wishlist, and this day I finally got there. Clouds and sun were playing games, but I was able to make some nice sunny shots with the town of Sankt-Goarshausen in the background. This spot can easily be reached on foot. Just beware when parking the car during tourist season: the parkings at the Loreley site will be very busy.
Burg Katz in the background was built in 1393 and is now privately owned. It's name relates to burg Maus, in Wellmich, that can be seen on this picture www.flickr.com/photos/65238008@N03/7297555396/in/album-72....

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).
Entropy is a physical property of one system that relates to its degree of disorder. It is a concept I came across when at university, and I confess I had much trouble grasping it. The second principle of thermodynamics -- which Einstein considered to be the first law of all sciences -- states, in very simple terms, that unless you do something (some work is produced) systems will always get more and more disorganised.
I now see it everywhere....

The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.
The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.
Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області
Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».
Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.
Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.

Scam or mistake - you decide! This relates to copyright accusation (libellous) on my original photo 'G'Day' of this same flower on my photostream where someone is trying to claim it as theirs.
This photograph here is also of the same flower, taken as the EXIF data shows - exactly 2 and a half minutes after the first, but from a slightly different angle.
Did the person alleging copyright breach take this one also? If they think someone with a 90% sight loss is an easy touch - that would be a mistake.
I have also added on my photostream a photo of the same flower *G'Day 2* taken just now after the accusation with the same yellow dogwood and rose leaves. In this one the dahlia is looking tired.
You can see the original accusation and my responses on my original photo here.

It is a ridiculous claim and can havee no foundation.
It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.
This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.
Look at the exterior of the hut:
Характерною ознакою житла лемків (етнографічної групи українського народу), як і бойків, були білий та синій кольори.
Хата із с. Теребля, Тячівського району Закарпатської області
Датується XVIII ст. На час перенесення до музею хата була найстарішою в селі і належала родині Оросів. Хата дводільна: хата, сіни – є одним із давніх варіантів планування житла на Закарпатті. Стіни хати складені з широких дубових колених брусів. Високий чотирисхилий дах вкритий соломою.
Це найстаріша хата Закарпаття в експозиції нашого музею. Вона розкриває особливості народного будівництва у долині ріки Теребля та середньої течії р. Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.
Washington is a city in Beaufort County, North Carolina, United States, located on the northern bank of the Pamlico River. The population was 9,744 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Beaufort County. It is commonly known as "Original Washington" or "Little Washington" to distinguish it from Washington D.C. The closest major city is Greenville, approximately 20 miles (32 km) to the west.
Established in 1776 on land donated by Col. James Bonner, Washington is the first city named after George Washington, the first president of the United States.
Washington has a range of historical buildings and landmarks, with some dating back to colonial times and others of Victorian and Arts and Crafts design. A self-guided Historic Walking Tour allows visitors to explore the neighborhoods. A Farmer's and Artisan's Market is held regularly on the town's green areas on the waterfront.
The North Carolina Estuarium, located on the Pamlico River, includes more than 200 scientific and historic exhibits relating to the ecology of North Carolina's estuaries, the Tar-Pamlico River and Pamlico Sound. The Estuarium also includes a 3/4 mile boardwalk along the Pamlico River.
The Turnage Theatre, a restored historic vaudeville and movie theater, reopened in the downtown area in 2014 and hosts plays and other types of live entertainment. Between 1993 and 2017 a downtown music and art festival called "Music in the Streets" was held every third Friday during summer to attract people to downtown shops and restaurants. A cannonball from the Union attack on Washington during the American Civil War is displayed in an attorney's office on Water Street, and many nearby towns also contain Civil War artifacts and museums. Civil War re-enacters meet in the outskirts of Washington every year. (Wikipedia)
The beginnings of the Polish State relate to the history of Poznan, especially to Ostrów Tumski - an island on the Warta River which is part of the modern Poznan. The photo shows the interior of this first Polish cathedral. It is probably here that Prince Mieszko I was the first to be baptized and inscribed Poland on the pages of Roman Catholic church history. The marble of the cathedral floor is engraved with the names of the Polish kings for whom Poznan was home and Poznan Cathedral a place of eternal rest.

As a freelancer I can relate to this image, the struggle to make living using antiquated equipment, the long hours and stressful delays.
I made the image in taxi on the way back from a meeting with a potential client on the banks of the Cairo Nile, we were stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, the driver was tired and stressed, I was, for once content as I had eaten fish and concluded what I thought was a successful meeting. Now I look back, the real success was this image, which is one of my favourites.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Excerpt from the Signpost:
The origins of this huge rock, known locally as “Paddy’s Stone”, have many variations. One colourful version relates how Paddy Walker was sitting on the front step of his hotel one evening when the sky was lit by the trail of a falling meteor. Paddy thought it landed in the vicinity of Stoney Island and set out the next day with a wagon and team of horses to retrieve it. He proudly placed his “meteor” in this west yard for his family to appreciate.
With its conglomerate of rock fragments that has the appearance of a huge plum pudding, it is commonly called “pudding stone”. It is not, in fact, uncommon along the shores north of Kincardine and you will see another sitting in Victoria Park.
In 1999 Jack Ross, a retired Canadian government geologist examined Paddy’s Stone and you can read his determination by visiting the Walker Family exhibit inside.
** I did not see the exhibit, so I still don't know what this stone actually is.**
Spacial definition : of, relating to, or involved in the perception of relationships (as of objects) in space and the presence of air within a defined area.
I assume a lot of people who see this photo will relate to the circumstances in which it was taken - getting intel about a very interesting train, hopping on an overnight train journey in a normal coach for over 600km, going to the desired spot and finding out the train had already passed it. By sheer coincidence we managed to change course and chase it to a different spot.
Here a loaded sand train from Kotlarnia can be seen upon leaving the post EW (near the Rybnik power plant) while heading towards the station in Leszczyny. Machines on duty that day were 21D-008 (ex-TEM2-093) and 21D-006 (ex-TEM2-277). In Leszczyny, the train enters the public PKP railway network, and it will continue from there onwards to Katowice Murcki. The sand from the Kotlarnia mine will be used for construction works on the railway line, which suffered a slump due to the ongoing coal mining in the region. Such places, where terrain is visibly shifted or slumped are commonplace in Silesia and the railway needs to account for that by regularly maintaining embankments on the railroads. Such sand transports, leading out of Kotlarnia only happen less than 10 times a year and I have been lucky enough to have photographed a lot of them in 2024. Those pictures, along with their stories, you can see in our TEM2 album.
This post is a good occasion to talk about more developements in the Kotlarnia sand mine. The production there is still being scaled down and an end is innevitable. The quarry does no more night shifts (the pictured train has been loaded the day before and waited for the crew on the morning of 18.07.2025). Additionally, KPK has started selling a large chunk of its rolling stock (either for scrap or further reusing), and it seems like their main souce of income nowadays is lending TEM2 locomotives to various private carriers, who seek heavy diesel locomotives, which are now in high demand.

...::: NIve - Till you say i go :::...
Till you say i go
Say whatever’s on your mind
I’ll never let your heart just sink
Drown in colors that aren’t blue
And say, whatever makes you cry
I’ll never let your tears make a river
I’ll just linger by your side
When the night just feels too long
When the night just feels so cold
I will stay, wait a million years
I will stay, till you say I go
Dance under these shining stars
I’ll sing you a song, a lullaby
Gently whisper in your ears
And come let me guide you home
Wandering love just hold my hand
I will walk with you till the end
When the night just feels too long
I’ll stay till you say I go

don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
Astronomical spring relates to the position of the earth in relation to the sun, while meteorological spring relates to the warming temperatures from March through May. For meteorologists and climatologists, spring begins March 1.
sagittal - Relating to or denoting the suture on top of the skull which runs between the parietal bones in a front to back direction.
Vincent of Beauvais relates that at this time there was a young cleric at Lyons who had a dream in which he beheld a mountain with a beautiful city standing on the top of it. This city attracted him mightily so that he longed to get there. But between him and the mountain was a river, and in the river he saw twelve men washing their garments. With them was another, different from them, in a shining white robe who was helping them in their task. The cleric asked the stranger who they all were, and He replied that He was Jesus Christ and that those were men doing penance with His aid, and as soon as their robes were clean, they would be able to go on to the city which they all desired, that is, to heaven. Some time later the cleric told his dream to the Bishop of Châlons, who advised him on the strength of it to enter Cîteaux. He accordingly made his way to the woods where the monks were dwelling, and finally found the enclosure of the little monastery. The gate was made of wattles, and there was an iron hammer hanging there for a knocker. When the porter responded to his summons, what was the astonishment of the cleric to recognize him as one of the men in his dream. He also recognized all the other members of the community too, and he was not long in becoming one of them.

This world is dark.
Not everyone meets it's abusive hand equally.
So the ones who suffer the most are isolated with no one to relate to.
Very smart and very evil of this world.
Some souls suffer more than others.
Like an intelligent abuser, it gives you some hope and some good things so it can destroy them in the end.
Even our own physical form degrades.
There are no good forces with power or they would stop our suffering immediately.
I hope one day we can all experience a better realm than this.
