As we await the findings of the Grey Report here in the UK we hope that the behaviour of those who govern us will no longer be a 'grey area'. Despite this being a Pied Wagtail it aptly presents so many shades of grey as well as some definite black marks!
Thank you all for your kind response
THE ANIMAL CRUSADE
One day all the sties and burrows opened
And out came the cave-bear the mammoth the seafaring
cormorant, that poetic diving bird, the white-headed vulture
the rock-goat from the mountains, the sea unicorn
You could see by their snouts that they meant business
You could hear by their flapping wings and their burr
They had thrown off their humility, cast down their yoke
once imposed by Adam’s secretive hero
the one with the garden
They were, to cut a long story short, fed up
And the morals of the shotgun had been cast off
the flayed skin of flight had faded
The viper walked tall and the swine wore polaroid glasses
that lent him pleasant looks. The beavers
gnawed down telegraph poles and so cut off any form of communication
Predictably enough, the lion led the way black black
as black gold and gold-coloured as deep black
It was a magnificent procession, blinding to the eye
At the back the unicorn reported as missing, the dodo the passenger pigeon
as well as various viruses and the elated spermatozoids
So the holy animals
travelled the holy world
And do you know how or why?
Oh no, they just went travelling, they didn’t have a flag!
Sometimes ripped up laws out of sheer happiness
or bled a city dry
Now and then trampled on a Jesus
or struck down a prophet or a princess
They were beginning to get tired
Haste no longer necessary
The one day’s deities left the fire

I don't think this kind of image is possible without the use of infrared. It is pregnant with energy. The box belongs to the Bureau of Meteorology which has an official weather station at Low Head.
Weather Report was also the name of a very fine Jazz group, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Jazz is actually a nice way of describing infrared photography. Every shot is an improvisation and makes us see things anew.
Macro Monday: #PatternsInNature
Width of the frame: 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches
Last Minute capture for "Patterns in Nature". It's an extreme close-up of an agate palm or worry stone which to me looks like a storm on Jupiter.
Taken with two Kenko extension tubes (16 and 10 mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 "super macro conversion lens" all mounted to my macro lens, and with in-camera focus stacking. Developed and processed in ON1 Photo Raw. It's amazing that some backlight, and then haze reduction and increase of saturation and dynamic range brought out these colours on what looks like a fairly palish (mostly brown and white tones) mineral to the unaided eye (no extra colours added!).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Last-Minute-Foto für das Thema "Patterns in Nature". Extrem-Makro (so etwas in der Art) eines Achat-Handschmeichlers, aufgenommen mit zwei Kenko-Zwischenringen (10 und 16 mm) in Kombination mit dem Raynox-DCR-250-Macro-Converter. Von hinten angestrahlt und mit der Kamera-internen Fokus-Stacking-Funktion aufgenommen. Entwickelt in ON1 Photo RAW. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung sowie "Haze Reduction" (Dunst entfernen) und die leichte Erhöhung der Sättigung und des Dynamik-Umfangs brachten mal wieder erstaunliche Farben zutage, die mit dem bloßen Auge so nicht zu sehen sind, da wirkt der interessant gemusterte Stein eher blass mit seiner bräunlichen Grundfarbe sowie der weißlichen Bänderung. Die Gelb- und Orange-Töne dürften auch überwiegend dem Hintergrundlicht zu verdanken sein. Künstliche Farben habe ich der Aufnahme aber nicht hinzugefügt.
Ich wünsche Euche eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 19
This is a panorama composed of two photos. They show Storsandnes Beach near Leknes on Lofoten. A panorama of the aurora is a little tricky. The northern lights change noticeably between the two photos if the exposure time is too long, and then the partial images no longer match. It took me several attempts to finally get an acceptable panorama.
The image shows the view to the north. The constellation of the Big Dipper can be spotted here pretty much in the middle of the sky in the reddish part of the aurora.
This 4200 Report Monitor reel-to-reel tape recorder was manufactured by Uher factories in Munich in the early 1980s. It was primarily developed for professional use and was intended for use with 13 cm reels in half-track mode. The housing is made of robust die-cast aluminum, and in addition to numerous technical features, there were also many accessories, such as matching microphones, for use in interviews by reporters. The sound is excellent and enables perfect recordings in hi-fi quality! My device still works well and looks quite good.

.... this is not a report....but it is only a collection of images taken a few days ago in Sicily and that, in some way, also speaks of Sicily ... (we are living in our island, a very fine "long summer") ...

Doze off then wake up surrounded by Forties

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 18
The terrace of a Rorbu cabin afforded a wonderful view west across Offersøystraumen to Leknes. The Space Weather App had predicted favorable conditions for aurora sightings, and just after 8 p.m. a green band stretched across the sky. In the excitement we didn't have time to turn off the cabin light and so the rocks in the foreground - partly submerged - are illuminated by the light from the Rorbu cabin.
The shot didn't require any special editing tricks in post-processing. I basically just used my default raw processing settings in Lightroom with a small increase in brightness and clarity (although the rocks in the foreground required special attention to bring out the details). There was no change of colors.
Cold, and gray, windy and rainy...... this barred owl didn't seem to mind too much. So sorry to have been away, we went to our daughter's for a week at Thanksgiving (and also celebrated our 40th anniversary!), and for whatever reason I haven't gotten back in the groove. Hope all are well!

Winter close to Bromma Airport on January 11, 2021.

I'm currently working on a new skin and lens
The head is the Nova of the Lelutka Revolution line.
It's my favorite!
It takes some time to make each skin into three different brand's heads, but it's fun.
I can't wait to show you.

Horace was pacing up and down the lounge, I said “what’s up old pal” he responded well tis like this Bri, I phoned Huw Edwards a few days ago at The BBC (Huw and Horace go back a long way, drinking in Tredegar) and asked why there had been no reportage or sightings of ‘The Beast Of Bodmin Moor’ recently.
Check what ever search engine you good people use, allegedly the beast is quite a fearsome cat like animal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bodmin_Moor
Huw responded “well Horace, we have had no information on the beast for some time, would you like to go out and report back”.
Horace looked at me with that cute face and asked if we could travel out onto the moor, I said “no problem Horace”, great he responded, I have your brothers Land Rover out in the drive ticking over ready to go.
So we rounded up Hoof, got in brothers Land Rover with Horace at the wheel and off we went. We came to this location on the edge of Bodmin Moor, you could hear Horace’s knees knocking, he was out the vehicle calling “here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty”.
We then could see the sweat coming off Horace’s brow, he spotted this large Y shaped object, he thought it was the giant wishbone of a dinosaur, which Horace felt the beast must have eaten for breakfast.
So Hoof being the only sensible one of the three of us, explained to Horace, this was only a piece of wood which just happened to be pointing at one of the very early China Clay dries, some say it dates back to 1900. Just up over from the chimney is the disused Stannon Clay works which was bought by English China Clays in 1919.
We felt that a trip to the nearby Old Inn, at St Breward, was required in order to calm Horace down. At around 720 feet above sea level, it is the highest pub in Cornwall.
Wasn’t long Horace was back to his old self, following a few pints, plus he and Hoof were playing spoof with the locals at a social distance in the beer garden.
Following H & Hs drinking exploits, guess who ended up driving them home😎
Have a lovely weekend, thank you for looking at my photographs. The comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

Here is what Duncan had already written about: as we drove past, the assistant on the locomotive filmed what we were doing. Personally, I recognized this at first, but I wasn't sure what it meant. In concrete terms, it meant that a report had been made. And as soon as we were back on the main road and took the next picture from there, we had a visitor. A man got out of a car and said we shouldn't take pictures. OK, so we did that and drove off to leave the area. The whole region is afraid after ArcelorMittal was chased out of the country. No one can say exactly where the money for the Qarmet holding came from. Everyone reports, reporting makes free.
Duncan's picture can be seen here:
