From a hill opposite the Passo Giau near Cortina d'Ampezzo I discovered this puddle in a meadow just below the pass. As it turned out, it was pretty muddy and served as a water trough to the cattle, yet enough to reflect a whole mountain range in it.
Von einer Anhöhe gegenüber dem Passo Giau nahe Cortina d’Ampezzo entdeckte ich diese Pfütze in einer Wiese etwas unterhalb des Passes. Wie sich heraus stellte, war sie ziemlich verschlammt und diente den Rindern als Wassertränke, dennoch ausreichend, um ein ganzes Gebirge darin zu spiegeln.

My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
So this photo is a bit of a novelty for me - at least here on Flickr, but it's also a journey back in time in a sense. I've always loved b/w and sepia photography; already as a very young teenager I would go out into the woods with an old Pentax Spotmatic (which I had nicked from my father) whenever it was a foggy day to shoot b/w compositions of sunbeams cutting through the ghostlike trees.
I used films with a sensitivity of at least 1600 (for those of you who remember what that means 😉 ), and the resulting photos had an incredibly fine grain which I loved; I blew them up to the size of posters and hung them on the walls of my teenage man-cave next to Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Slash.
But then I abandoned photography altogether for 20 years, and when I finally picked up a camera again, it was one of the digital kind. Now neither film nor grain played any role in my photographic endeavours - let alone b/w compositions: because the reason I fell in love with shooting pictures once more was the rare and incredibly colorful lizard species that had chosen my garden as its habitat.
It's this species - the Lacerta bilineata aka the western green lizard - that my photo website www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ and also my Flickr gallery are dedicated to, but I've since expanded that theme a bit so that it now comprises the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat, which is to say my garden and its immediate surroundings and all the flora and fauna I find in it.
I like that my gallery and the website have this clear theme, because in order to rise to the challenge of portraying all aspects of a very specific little eco system (which also happens to be my home of sorts), it forces me to constantly explore it from fresh angles, and I keep discovering fascinating new motives as my photographic journey continues.
Which brings me to the horse pasture you see in this photo. This playground for happy horsies lies just outside my garden, and it normally only interests me insofar as my green reptile friends claim parts of it as their territory, and I very much prefer it to be horseless (which it thankfully often is).
Not that the horses bother the reptiles - the lizards don't mind them one bit, and I've even seen them jump from the safety of the fly honeysuckle shrub which the pasture borders on right between the deadly looking hooves of the horses to forage for snails, without any sign of fear or even respect.
No, the reason I have a very conflicted relationship with those horses is that they are mighty cute and that there's usually also foals. The sight of those beautiful, happy animals jumping around and frolicking (it's a huge pasture and you can tell the horses really love it) is irresistible: and that inevitably attracts what in the entire universe is known as the most destructive anti-matter and ultimate undoing of any nature photographer: other humans.
Unlike with the horses, the lizards ARE indeed very much bothered by specimens of loud, unpredictable Homo sapiens sapiens - which makes those (and by extension also the horses) the cryptonite of this here reptile photographer. It's not the horses' fault, I know that, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm just telling you how it is (and some of you might have read about the traumatic events I had to endure to get a particular photo - if not, read at your own risk here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... - which clearly demonstrated that even when it's entirely horseless, that pasture is still a threat for artistic endeavours).
But back to the photo. So one morning during my vacation back in May I got up quite early. It had rained all night, and now the fog was creeping up from the valley below to our village just as the sky cleared up and the morning sun started to shine through the trees.
And just as I did when I was a teenager I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph this beautiful mood of ghostlike trees and sunbeams cutting through the mist. There had already been such a day a week earlier (which is when I took this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51543603732/in/datepo... ), but this time, the horses were also there.
Because of our slightly strained relationship I only took this one photo of them (I now wish I had taken more: talk about missed opportunities), and otherwise concentrated on the landscape. It was only later when I went through all the photos on my computer that I realized that I actually really liked those horses, even despite the whole composition being such a cliché. And I realized another thing: when I drained the photo of all the color, I liked it even better - because there was almost a bit of grain in it, like in the photos from my youth.
Since then I have experimented quite a bit with b/w and sepia compositions (some of which I will upload here eventually I guess), but this photo here is the first one that helped me rediscover my old passion. I hope you like it even though it builds quite a stark contrast with the rest of my tiny - and very colorful - gallery. But in the spirit of showing you the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat (and also in the spirit of expanding my gallery a bit beyond lizards and insects), I think it's not such a bad fit.
As always, many greetings to all of you, have a wonderful day and don't hesitate to let me know what you think 😊

🎼: Cigarettes and Alcohol ~ Oasis ~
✈️ : Astoria 2022
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top...
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

Caligo es un género de lepidópteros ditrisios de la familia Nymphalidae conocidos vulgarmente como mariposas búho. Incluye 20 especies propias de las selvas de Centro y Sudamérica hasta los 1800 m s. n. m., desde el sur de México hasta el sur de Brasil, y en Trinidad y Tobago.
Destacan por su tamaño. Las larvas llegan a medir hasta 15 cm de largo y los adultos pueden superar 20 cm de envergadura
Su nombre común proviene de los grandes ocelos en la parte posterior de las alas, que parecen ojos grandes.
Aunque actualmente no se sabe a ciencia cierta la significación de estos ocelos, sí se conoce que en otras mariposas, particularmente en el caso de Satyrinae, cumplen la función de desviar el ataque de los pájaros hacia partes menos vulnerables del cuerpo, mientras se protege el abdomen y la cabeza de la mariposa. Se requiere sin embargo mucha más investigación para descifrar cómo aprecian los depredadores a estas mariposas, ya que una cosa es el camuflaje frente al observador humano y otra con respecto a aves que pueden apreciar los rayos ultravioleta.
En cualquier caso se considera que los ocelos forman parte de una estrategia de cripsis que protege a las mariposas. Algunas especies vuelan solamente unos pocos metros para evitar exponerse a los pájaros. Las mariposas búho tienen hábitos crepusculares y son pocos los pájaros activos a las mismas horas que ellas, por lo cual sus principales depredadores son aparentemente lagartijas tales como las del género Anolis. Se ha sugerido que los ocelos de las mariposas búho tratan de semejar la cabeza de las ranas Hyla a las que temen los Anolis. Esta hipótesis tampoco ha sido probada, pero es cierto que los ocelos sirven a varias especies para protegerse de los depredadores
Muchas gracias a tod@s por vuestros comentarios y favoritos. Un saludo.

Weather
Rain
Water is the Essence of Life. No living thing can survive very long without it. It is incredibly old. We have the same rain as the ancients did and before their existence. It signifies the power to purify, to give deliverance, and it can also destroy evil and enemies in flood as in the Biblical stories. It is awesome as it is kind. It is benign, it is malignant, for we live or die without it. What a miraculous thing it is, it can engulf you but you cannot hold it in the palm of your hand. It can scold you, it can freeze you, it can inspire and frighten in the very next breath. I will always respect it in its many forms.
These are just a few images of rain observed ……….
Back to Alpine Texas for another Respect Big Bend (respectbigbend.org/) workshop with our Stakeholder Advisory Group. Flew thru Midland and caught a glimpse of the energy colony that the area between Midland & Odessa has become - amazing to see.

...la fleur du magnolia reçoit son nom en 1703 par le Père Charles Plumier, botaniste du roi Louis XIV. Plumier rend hommage à Pierre Magnol, directeur du jardin botanique de Montpelier à la fin du 17 ème siècle . Le magnolia est originaire de l'Extrême orient, l'Asie centrale, d'Amérique centrale et du nord.
Aujourd'hui largement acclimaté en Europe, le genre de magnolia de la famille de magnoliacées compte 125 espèces d'arbres et d'arbustes. Plante apparue vers la fin du crétacé, le magnolia à réussi de survivre jusqu'à aujourd'hui peut être grâce à la texture vernis de ses feuilles qui le protège de la pollution de nos villes .La première fleur apparue sur terre il y a 100 millions d'années. Les moines bouddhistes le plantaient autour de leur Temple en symbole de la pureté. Aujourd'hui , le magnolia représente l'amour de la nature et la gaieté, fleur pour fêter le printemps. Ils portent des fleurs à la signification profonde; blanches, roses ou pourpres, ces fleurs font partie de l'amour, ils symbolisent l'innocence, le respect, la fidélité la force et la dignité; également la beauté et la joie. Le parfum est souvent décrit comme étant frais, légèrement sucré avec des notes de bergamotes de jasmin et de rose.

Dokra making Process:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB6-wQ23xu0
Dhokra or Dokra art is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. One of the earliest known lost wax artefacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro
From the heart of West Bengal comes an art so eternal, it is cast in the absoluteness of metal. An ancient method of making metal artefacts, Dhokra art goes back 5000 years. What’s shocking, however, is that this tribal art form, done by the traditional metalsmiths of Bengal – the Dhokra Damar tribes, has survived the test of time and is still in use today. Here’s a look at the journey of this metal art from the heartlands of Bengal to the rest of the world.
More details can be found here: www.mashindia.com/dhokra-art-the-unusual-craft-of-brass-f...
In the photo it is seen that a man is selling his dhokra art!
We need to be environmentally savvy and respect and care for our environment, by doing so we will leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. If we ignore being environmentally friendly we will be left with even more environmental havoc and land will be taken away from us forever.

La postura y la técnica de los guitarristas flamencos, llamados tocaores, difieren de las usadas por los intérpretes de guitarra clásica. Mientras el guitarrista clásico apoya la guitarra sobre su pierna izquierda de forma inclinada, el guitarrista flamenco suele cruzar las piernas y apoyarla sobre la que se encuentra más elevada, colocando el mástil en una posición casi horizontal con respecto al suelo.
What has happened to the art of respect? We are all human beings, made of flesh and blood, no-one is superior to anyone else. It is time to change the political rhetoric which is supposed to guide us. The language used these days is not fit for our children's ears, it needs to be cleaned up so that we can teach our children about love and diversity, not hate and non acceptance! It is President Trumps duty to lead by example, through educated behavior which can also benefit his own son.

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.
For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.
I got lucky this day as...In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.
Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

Chaque individu, quel que soit son sexe, doit être en mesure d'aimer et d'être aimé, de donner du plaisir et d'en ressentir, et à ces fins, en fonction de sa personnalité, de séduire activement et faire l'objet de séduction. Et surtout que cette dernière soit accompagnée du respect de l'autre : respect par celui qui séduit, respect de celui qui l'est ; respect de la décision de refus, respect (et reconnaissance) de l'invitation au plaisir, qui ne doit plus être perçue comme une agression.
