Peregrine Falcon - Falco Peregrinus
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.

Representa a Latona, madre de Apolo y Diana siendo increpada por los hombres que como castigo se van convirtiendo en ranas.
Historia:Este conjunto de mármol esculpido por los hermanos Marsy en 1670 es una las obras más famosas de Versalles y representa a Latona y sus hijos, dando nombre al estanque sobre el que se erige. Inspirado en Las metamorfosis de Ovidio, el estanque de Latona ilustra la metamorfosis de los campesinos de Licia en anfibios tras haber impedido a la diosa y a sus hijos Diana y Apolo beber en un estanque. El estanque y el parterre que lo rodean –diseñado por André Le Nôtre– fueron íntegramente restaurados en el año 2015.

* Castillo de Medellín. Medellín. Provincia de Badajoz. Extremadura. Ruta de los Conquistadores. España.
* El Castillo de Medellín comenzó siendo un campamento romano en 74 d.C. En el siglo XIII se convirtió en una fortaleza medieval. Después de la reconquista del castillo en el año 1234 por Fernando III el Santo, perteneció a varios dueños durante el siglo XIV. El castillo lo reconstruyó el rey Enrique II, en el año 1357, si bien no alcanzó su forma definitiva hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XV. Entre los años 1475 y 1479, tomó parte a favor de Juana la Beltraneja al igual que la mayoría de la nobleza extremeña.
Se encuentra emplazado sobre una colina junto al río Guadiana. Fue declarado monumento histórico artístico y bien de interés cultural en 1931.
* Nada mejor para evocar esta foto que un fragmento del texto poético que Francisco García escribió sobre el mismo.
…El Castillo de Medellín, cual otro Arca Bíblico colocado en la cima de un montículo, es algo así como otro signo representativo de una historia que es fortaleza, que es heroísmo, que es religión, que es poesía, que es drama, que es cementerio, que sintetiza una gama de matices difícil de sintetizar en unas cuartillas periodísticas…
(FRANCISCO GARCÍA. El Castillo de Medellín.)
The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

C'est l'œuvre de Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1850-1923), l'un des principaux représentants du modernisme catalan. Les travaux se déroulèrent de 1905 à 1908 et firent appel à des structures avancées telles que l'utilisation de nouveaux profils laminaires. C’est une des plus belles salles de spectacle au Monde reconnue comme un des chefs-d’œuvre du Modernisme d’une extrême luminosité et d’une extraordinaire ornementation inspirée par la nature.
Sur le mur de l’abside de la scène, sous l’immense orgue, on retrouve sur un fond de trencadis rouge les 18 muses de la musique aux divers instruments. Autour sont regroupés diverses sculptures sur des œuvres musicales.
Au centre du plafond, la coupole de vitraux est l'œuvre de Antoni Rigalt i Blanch. Elle est éclairée par de la lumière naturelle de jour, et est équipée d'un éclairage électrique pour les nuits. Elle est conçue en son centre en forme de sphères inversées représentant un grand soleil or et ocre. Les couleurs se dégradent peu à peu vers le blanc et bleu clair — couleur du ciel — avant de dessiner des bustes de femmes.
This image represents an unexpected sight. Exploring areas near Kanab, Utah, we were on our way to Old Paria, which was billed as a ghost town with a wooden structure which would make for a wonderful foreground against the striated hills behind. We read that the structure was actually built as a movie prop and was used in westerns, including The Outlaw Josey Wales. Supposedly, it was damaged and moved to higher ground nearby to protect it from floods. We found, or rather didn't find the structure, which we're pretty sure no longer exists. At least we couldn't find it, and it wasn't for lack of trying. We were rewarded, however, with this view along the way. Luckily, the area had been dusted with snow that morning, adding a delightful frosting to the hills and gullies and the remnants of the snowstorm in the sky.
Painted ceramic benches representing all the provinces in Spain are arranged round the square.
It was built because of the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929, held in Seville. Its creator was Aníbal González. He mixed a style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida). Its floor plan is semicircular. It is dominated by 2 towers, one on each side of the enclosed area, which frame the central building where the main rooms are. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with an arcade of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands.

The image shows my youngest son's wrist identification band from when he was born in hospital. It's been hanging around the kitchen for ** years for some reason; I've never worked out why I haven't put it away safely. His birthday was two days ago, and meant that the year he was born we both ended up coming out of hospital on Valentine's day; the best valentine's present ever...! :-)

Representante de la arquitectura de finales del siglo XIX, obra del arquitecto Santiago Rebollar, que finalizó su construcción en 1892. Destaca la fachada principal, rematada con el escudo de la ciudad, y la de la Merced, con una tribuna de columnas jónicas coronadas por un frontón. Toda la parte baja del edificio es de piedra caliza blanca y la superior de ladrillo visto y piedra caliza.
En el interior una impresionante escalera, desarrollada en dos vertientes y cubierta por una cúpula decorada por Ángel Andrade y Samuel Luna. En sus galerías, como exposición permanente, destaca la obra de Andrade junto a otros pintores y escultores de la provincia.
Iglesia de Santa María la Real de Olite (Navarra).
La fachada principal es uno de los conjuntos más importantes de la escultura gótica navarra. Se acabó sobre el año 1300 y tiene claras influencias de la Catedral de Notre Dame de París. Contiene una portada de arco ojival que está flanqueada por un friso con un apostolado (representación de los doce apóstoles). La decoración del arco está presidida por una imagen de María con el Niño, flanqueada con representaciones de varios pasajes de la biblia. La Anunciación de María, el nacimiento de Jesús, la matanza de los inocentes, la huida a Egipto y el bautismo de Jesús.
Sobre el arco de la portada se ubica un segundo arco ojival que contiene un rosetón de gran tamaño y dos rosetones menores para rellenar el hueco de la parte inferior del arco. Los vitrales del rosetón son modernos (se repusieron en 1998) y están formados por mosaicos que forman un patrón abstracto con cierta simetría radial.6
El atrio se añadió hacia 1432, y tiene un arco de entrada flanqueado por dos esculturas de Doña Blanca de Navarra y la Virgen con el Niño, que descansan sobre ménsulas con las armas de Doña Blanca y Juan II de Aragón, atribuidas al taller del maestro escultor Jehan de Lome.

Mouette rieuse (beaucoup plus commune). En période de reproduction, la Mouette mélanocéphale possède une tête noire, le contour de l’oeil blanc et le bec rouge. En hiver, la tête devient presque entièrement blanche si ce n’est un bandeau grisâtre en arrière de l’œil. En toute saison, le dos et le dessus des ailes sont gris clair, les rémiges, tout comme le dessous du corps, sont blanc pur.Migratrice partielle, elle hiverne essentiellement sur les côtes atlantiques et méditerranéennes.La Mouette mélanocéphale ne se reproduit en France que depuis 1965 (Camargue). Cet oiseau est en fait originaire de la Mer Noire, mais depuis les années 1940, ses populations se sont déplacées vers l’ouest de l’Europe.On observe également de la nidification sur quelques étangs. Ces îles sont généralement couvertes de plantes herbacées et sont suffisamment éloignées du bord pour éviter toute prédation terrestre.
MosaiCanada150 display represented every province and territory in Canada with a living statue dedicated to the unique character of each place, this celebratory attraction comes from Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montreal headed by Lise Cormier’s who for the past 17 years has grown this artform into an international competition that travels every 3-4 years to a new participant country.
This display took place in 2017 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the confederation of Canada and in less volatile days Canada’s relationship with China was closer than today, so much so that China actually gifted to Canada two of the largest displays of the event one from Shanghai depicting the dance of the “Nine Lions” and another donated by Beijing depicting the “Blessing of the Good Omen Dragons”.
According to legend the imperial Dragon fathered nine dragon sons whom he divided the heavens into nine kingdoms that each ruled, in ancient times it was believed that the Emperor was descended from this lineage, captured here are two imperial dragons playing with a pearl representing the sun or moon a common depiction in Chinese art.

The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."

Las Alondras y todos los representantes de su familia los alaudidos, son cada día mas escasos,
Habitantes de espacios abiertos, sufren como otras tantas especies de aves, la explotación intensiva de muchos pastizales.
Campos de cultivo de cereales de crecimiento rápido que se siegan antes de que las aves puedan haber terminado su ciclo reproductor y rociados de herbicidas y pesticidas que envenenan a sus presas, la verdad es que no lo tienen fácil para sobrevivir.
Sin embargo, bastan que en esos cultivos intensivos, se dejen pequeñas parcelas de terrenos sin sembrar, donde crezcan las mal llamadas malas hierbas y no se echen tantos pesticidas y herbicidas a los cultivos, que al final también nosotros los terminamos ingiriendo y acumulando en nuestros tejidos, para que las alondras y demás aves habitantes de estos espacios, pudiesen criar y alimentarse.
¿Estaremos dispuestos a ello?.
En algunos lugares se hace con resultados muy buenos en lo referente a los aguiluchos cenizos y pálidos,
Ojala esa sensibilidad cada vez este mas presente, pero tengo muchas dudas de ello.

Vue aérienne du parc olympique de Montréal prise à partir de l’avion, lors d'un vol entre Francfort en Allemagne et l’aéroport Pierre-Élliott-Trudeau à Montréal au Canada.
La grande surface verte adjacente au parc olympique représente le Jardin botanique et le parc Maisonneuve.
En arrière-plan, on peut voir le fleuve Saint-Laurent, les ponts reliant l'île de Montréal à la rive sud ainsi que les îles Notre-Dame et Sainte-Hélène qui ont été réaménagées dans le cadre de l'Expo 67, l'exposition internationale dont Montréal fut l'hôte à l'été 1967.
Le titre de ma photo s'inspire des paroles de la populaire chanson de Robert Charlebois "Je reviendrai à Montréal" présentée dans le video suivant qui montre de très belles images de Montréal en hiver: youtu.be/K6FqfK3Q0Vg?si=kIAqdvaV95h1sjQP
Le Stade olympique est un stade omnisports couvert d'une capacité de 56 000 places, pouvant être aménagé jusqu'à une capacité de 65 000 places. Conçu par l'architecte français Roger Taillibert à la demande du maire Jean Drapeau, le Stade avait pour mandat d'accueillir les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1976 dans un premier temps, puis les Expos de Montréal par la suite, qui y ont séjourné à partir de 1977, jusqu'à leur départ, en 2004. Sa tour de 165 mètres de haut, soutenant 75 % de la charge du toit, est la plus haute structure inclinée au monde et elle comporte un funiculaire qui permet de rejoindre un observatoire.
Édifice emblématique de la ville de Montréal, il demeure controversé, étant vu à la fois comme un chef-d’œuvre d'architecture et comme un éléphant blanc. Surnommé en anglais le « Big O » en référence à sa forme vue de haut, c'est le plus grand stade du Canada. Depuis 2012 c'est le stade hivernal de l'Impact de Montréal.
Situé au cœur du Parc olympique de Montréal, le Stade olympique fait partie d'un ensemble d'équipements, comprenant la Tour de Montréal, le Centre sportif, les esplanades extérieures, ainsi qu'un vaste stationnement intérieur de près de 4 000 places. L'espace à la base de la tour abrite le Centre sportif du Parc olympique et le plus grand centre aquatique au Canada, équipé de gymnases, de salles de musculation et de sept piscines.
This photo is from Marado [Mara Island]. Marado represents the southernmost point in South Korean territory. The island is about 30km from the southern port of Jeju and the trip by ferry took about 15-20 minutes. The island is comparatively small (approximately 0.3 square kilometers) and you can walk around its entirety at a leisurely pace in about 90 minutes. Marado is home to about 90 residents and "…has long been known for its population being composed of strong women and docile men." (Wiki). While there, we saw traditional "haenyeo" women divers actively working at their trade of free diving to gather seafood.

La cathédrale de San Nicolo représente le lieu de culte le plus important de la ville de Noto, dédiée à S. Nicolo de Mira, elle fut église siège de la paroisse jusqu’en 1844, année de création du Diocèse de Noto, pour ensuite devenir le siège de l’évéche du dicèse du même nom en Sicile.
La construction de l’édifice religieux débuta en 1693, mais suite aux nombreux séismes qui se succédèrent au fil des siècles, elle subit des dégats et successives restaurations.
L’actuelle structure est en patie le fruit des derniers travaux, seulement terminés au XIXè siècle sur les plans de l’Architecte Bernardo Labisi.
En 1848 s’écroula la coupole, qui fut reconstruite sur les plans de l’arc. Cassone. La construction fut portée à terme en 1862, et les travaux d’embellissement internes de l’église se terminèrent en 1959.
Durant « la secousse du séisme de Santa Lucia » du 13 Décembre 1990, les piliers supportant la coupole de l’église ont subi des dégâts. Le 13 Mars 1996 l’énième effondrement porta l’écroulement total de la coupole, de la nef centrale et de celle orientale. Les travaux de reconstruction et de restauration de l’église ont porté à la réouverture au culte le 18 Juin 2007.
Le 21 Janvier 2012 le pape Benoît XVI a élevé la cathédrale au rang de Basilique Mineure.
La cathédrale se dresse au sommet d’un grand et monumental escalier, sur le côté nord de Piazza Municipio.
La façade flanquée de tours latérales élancées, représente un exemple de l’architecture baroque tardif de la Val di Noto, où ne manquent pas des éléments éclectiques et une notable inspiration néoclassique.
L’intérieur de l’église, à croix latine avec trois nefs, était dans le passé embellie de fresques des peintres Bandinelli et Arduino, perdues lors de l’effonfrement de 1996; à ce jour, elle se présente avec de grands et volumineux espaces blancs, simples et des décorations baroques.
The cathedral of San Nicolo represents the most important place of worship in the city of Noto, dedicated to S. Nicolo de Mira, it was the seat of the parish until 1844, the year of creation of the Diocese of Noto, and then became the seat of the bishopric of the dicese of the same name in Sicily.
The construction of the religious building began in 1693, but following the numerous earthquakes which followed one another over the centuries, it suffered damage and successive restorations. The current structure is the fruit of the latest work, only completed in the 19th century on the plans of the Architect Bernardo Labisi.
In 1848 the dome collapsed, which was rebuilt on the plans of the arch. Cassone. Construction was completed in 1862, and internal church improvement work was completed in 1959.
During the "earthquake in the Santa Lucia earthquake" of December 13, 1990, the pillars supporting the church dome were damaged. On March 13, 1996 the umpteenth collapse brought the total collapse of the dome, the central nave and that of the east. The reconstruction and restoration of the church led to the reopening of worship on June 18, 2007.
On January 21, 2012 Pope Benedict XVI raised the cathedral to the rank of Minor Basilica.
The cathedral stands at the top of a large, monumental staircase on the north side of Piazza Municipio.
The facade flanked by slender side towers represents an example of the late Baroque architecture of Val di Noto, where there is no shortage of eclectic elements and a notable neoclassical inspiration. The interior of the church, with a Latin cross with three naves, was in the past embellished with frescoes by the painters Bandinelli and Arduino, lost during the 1996 collapse; to date, it presents itself with large and voluminous white spaces, simple and baroque decorations.
The name anemone comes from the Greek word for "windflower." According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis.
Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it's a signal that rain is approaching.
Still other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep under the petals after they closed at sunset. Perhaps it's because of this magical and prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation

Las Tablas son uno de los últimos representantes de un ecosistema denominado tablas fluviales que se forman al desbordarse los ríos en sus tramos medios, favorecidos por fenómenos de semiendorreísmo y la escasez de pendientes. El humedal se forma en la confluencia del río Guadiana y su afluente Cigüela y es uno de los ecosistemas acuáticos más importantes de la península ibérica por la variedad y calidad de la fauna y flora que habitan en ella, así como por aquellas aves que la emplean en los pasos migratorios. Las Tablas sirve de refugio a más de 2.000 especies (plantas, aves, insectos, peces, réptiles... ).
Sin embargo, la supervivencia del parque peligra debido a la sobreexplotación de los acuíferos. Debido a esta degradación, el 22 de octubre de 2009 la Comisión Europea abre un expediente a España,6 mientras que la Unesco ya había expresado con anterioridad la posibilidad de retirar la figura de Reserva de la Biosfera. La Unesco abrió un expediente contra España a instancias de la denuncia presentada en noviembre de 2007 por las organizaciones ecologistas (Ecologistas en Acción, Greenpeace, SEO/BirdLife y WWF); en ella se argumentaba que la Reserva de la Biosfera de La Mancha Húmeda y, en especial, Las Tablas de Daimiel, presentaban un alto nivel de degradación que suponía la pérdida de los valores que las habían hecho merecedoras de la calificación como Reserva de la Biosfera.

Un tableau représentant l'arrivée de la reine Victoria au Tréport lors de sa visite en France en 1843 atteste la présence d'un phare, qui figure également sur un croquis de 1845 de Joseph Mallord William Turner et sur un plan de 1829 représentant les principaux phares de la Seine-inférieure conservé aux Archives nationales. En 1846, le peintre Auguste Jugelet grave une estampe montrant le phare dans sa première version.

Cette statue contemporaine en bronze représente un personnage populaire qu’on pouvait croiser naguère dans les rues de Verviers. Il s’agissait d’une sorte de représentant de commerce qui allait proposer sa marchandise chez les lainiers. Il transportait et présentait ses échantillons de laines (venus d’Argentine, du Chili, d’Australie et d’Afrique du Sud) contenus dans des cylindres de papier bleu. Vers 1950, ces marchands étaient encore près de 200 à Verviers. Il y avait tellement de filatures à visiter qu’il fallait une semaine pour en faire le tour. Le sens premier de l’expression « ploquettes » se rapporte aux déchets provenant des loups-cardes c’est-à-dire des premières machines à épurer les laines brutes fort chargées de matières végétales et autres impuretés qui devaient être carboniséesavant leur réintroduction dans la fabrication. Les fameux cylindres de papier bleu pouvaient contenir des ploquettes mais très souvent il s’agissait d’échantillons de laine pure. Cette statue de Louis-Pierre Wagelmans symbolise donc l’éclat de l’industrie florissante de la laine à Verviers.
This contemporary bronze statue represents a popular character that could once be seen in the streets of Verviers. He was a sort of sales representative who was going to sell his wares to the woolen companies. He carried and displayed his wool samples (from Argentina, Chile, Australia and South Africa) contained in cylinders of blue paper. Around 1950, there were still nearly 200 of these merchants in Verviers. There were so many spinning mills to visit that it took a week to tour them. The primary meaning of the expression "ploquettes" relates to the waste coming from the wolves, that is to say from the first machines to purify the raw wools heavily loaded with vegetable matter and other impurities which had to be carbonized before their reintroduction in the manufacturing. The famous blue paper cylinders might contain small flakes, but very often they were samples of pure wool. This statue of Louis-Pierre Wagelmans therefore symbolizes the brilliance of the flourishing wool industry in Verviers.
This was an impromptu moment. I am sure my camera chose the moment. We were photographing at an international car rally. There were a number of young women representing the sponsors, Red Bull, performing their assigned roles at the presentation. Hence they wore a headband with red horns, which showed splendidly in this shadow as it encountered the kerb.

The color green represents envy and jealousy. The phrase "green with envy" is a fairly common saying that is said to come from Shakespeare's metaphorical use of color in both Othello and The Merchant of Venice. In Othello, Iago uses "green-eyed monster" to describe the jealousy that threatens to drive Othello mad.
