The long-tail boat, used to carry passengers on a river may include a lightweight long canoe hull, up to 30 metres. They are not the quietest or most comfortable boats to travel in but usually the cheapest and most fun.

Elakala falls are some of the most photographed falls of West Virginia. However, this one is less commonly photographed because it requires some efforts to be reached. This is known as the second fall. More sometimes there is no much water. However, our group was lucky to be there few days after some heavy rains so the falls was at its best. This image was taken after crossing the creek to get a better view of the fall. I used a long exposure to the get the swirling water. This was achieved by using a polarizer filter and a 10 stop ND filter.
Join us starting today @Frogmore for a 1 week photo challenge. This challenge will be located in our Shire area which includes a new garden splash pool for fun avatar photos. We have amazing views from every angle and lots of wildlife including Ducks, Egrets, Frogs, Doves, Seagulls, as well as Capybaras, Butterflies, and a Kitty or two. This is designed to be a fun challenge, and we will have prizes to go around. **Frogmore Inworld Group Membership Required** Avatars photos encouraged.

I am a bird lover but I do not have the proper lens nor the speed required for bird photography, when I arrived where these geese were hiding, I disturbed them and they flee. I will take the hints from you guys expert bird photographers!
Bald Eagles require about five years to fully develop the adult plumage featuring the white head and chocolate brown body that many Americans are familiar with. Younger birds, such as this one, are typically a mottled white and brown.
An interesting fact from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "Immature Bald Eagles spend the first four years of their lives in nomadic exploration of vast territories and can fly hundreds of miles per day. Some young birds from Florida have wandered north as far as Michigan, and birds from California have reached Alaska."
I don't know where this bird originated, but it was photographed at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, near Saginaw, Michigan.
Small dark dragonfly with a pale creamy white face.
Male: black with red-orange markings.
Female: black with yellow markings.
It requires relatively deep, oligotrophic, acidic bog pools with considerable rafts of Sphagnum at the edges in which to breed.
Larvae also occur among waterlogged Sphagnum in depressions devoid of standing water.
The larvae live within the matrix of submerged and floating sphagnum and are confined to waters without fish. Away from its aquatic habitat it also requires scrub or woodland, which provides important roosting and feeding sites.
Assignment 4 - Heels, Heels, and More Heels
My latest assignment requires me to submit one photo per week to the group Sexy Heels of SL in bed of which the administrator is my very own Flickr Sensei, Wolf Braham. He LOVES heels!!!!! I know a lot of men love heels, but no one loves them quite like Wolf.
Just a note about this photo: The highlight of the photo is the heels. My hand appears to be pointing to my left foot and the light focuses on the lower part of my body. Not my face, because in this group it is really all about the heels.
I submit to you Week One of the assignment.
See Week Two of the assignment here.

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colours to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 36670
Totally overcast, and totally still. I have never seen conditions like this before (and probably won't again for a long time). It was the end of the day and I already had a few images that I was happy with. So I wasn't really paying attention. Plus, the egret was very far away, requiring a heavy crop. But looking at it on my computer screen afternoon, I was kicking myself for not appreciating the potential of this moment.
Laugharne Castle is a castle in the town of Laugharne in southern Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is located on the estuary of the River Tâf and was originally established in 1116.
So! at certain times of the day the carpark near the castle will flood...and the seating area ofcourse ☺.
Iguazu Falls span across both Argentina and Brazil. We visited Argentina side followed next day the Brazilian side. The water spray was quite intense requiring the cameras to be cleaned after every shot
Just in the last week or so the butterfly bush has started blossoming. I was very happy to see the monarch stop by! An added bonus with the small bee in flight, honing in on the fragrant blossoms. Patience was required with the blustery breezes blowing and the butterfly flitting between different blossoms.
This bush is in our yard so I look forward to seeing what other visitors might stop by!

Sometimes my photos require “Getting Close” to the subject physically. Lying on top of pile of leaves or wading in shallow waters. Remaining always safe there’s not much I haven’t tried yet to “Get That Shot, lol” From the top of the Empire State Building in NYC to a Native American Celebration in New Mexico and many cool places in between. Passion drives us to get our next fun capture. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe, mask up and go get your next great capture. 🙏
Can a house be semi-abandoned? Aspects of the place appeared to be looked after, others not so much. For example, the broken window in the kitchen, which had glass pieces on the sill.
i stood quiet and still, leaning on the gate of a barn at Adam's — who i'd just delivered logs to — hoping her curiosity would draw her. Sure enough she got closer and closer. Smelly breath, but easily tolerable for this gorgeous animal.
The Golden-cheeked Warbler requires old juniper woodlands and live-oak habitat for nesting. This habitat occurs in central south Texas. In fact, this bird nests exclusively in the Lone Star State although vagrant birds have shown up in other states.
GCW numbers are declining because of habitat loss due to clearing of juniper and oak forests for grazing and human encroachment.
Solution: build more high rises and stack people in urban areas since a majority of people claim to be extroverted and enjoy one another's company.
So there's desert nightmare Batman!
It isn't the definitive version, I'll want to give him a customized face/cowl with sanding and stuff, but that requires more square parts. I don't want to alter my current only short eared cowl.

This is as close as I can get to an 8 mm glass bead on a metal ruler (ruler is in mm's). My camera is a compact zoom with built-in lens so requires accessories to get this close when using 1:1 macro. I used Hoya Close-Up II 52 mm filter lenses +1, +2 & +4 combined & fitted to my Canon PowerShot 42 mm lens via a 42-52 mm adapter ring. Photographed outside in bright, natural daylight. The metal ruler has a brushed stainless steel surface and is 20 mm wide. When taking the shot I tried to exclude as much of the ruler as possible leaving just enough to show measurement of bead with a couple of spare mm's here and there.

I saw the garage scene at Backdrop Village (maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eversong/218/202/2204) and decided to pop on overalls and make myself look like a gearhead. Nothing in reality could be further from the truth.
I am far too short for the built in animations. I had to rez a box to stand on and add a pose of my own.

No ropes or anchors would likely have been required to secure these lovely ladies to the dock, during the early January cold snap, These boats appeared well secured, and frozen into place.

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.
