Continuing the theme of "quirky Indiana", today's feature is this old Impala sitting on the top of a metal tower.
One may ask "why", and I don't have an answer. But this is (or was) part of a menagerie of unusual stuff that included a vintage motel sign, old railroad cars and junk trucks. All located at a train station that was converted into a seafood restaurant. The business has since closed and to my understanding most of this stuff have been removed from the property. I'm not sure if this car is still there or not!
Charlestown, Indiana
UPDATE: Unfortunately this car (and everything else) has been removed from the property as of 10/2021.
A morning photoshoot in a professional hide in the Great Plains of Hungary.
I managed to take some cool shots of interesting and rarely seen species like the Eurasian roller (Coracias garrulus, szalakóta).

had another go at the roller as it is in my local patch and had a bit of a mare missing everything in the grass but these with a bee were quite nice
The lilac-breasted roller is found in savanna and open woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Seen here in Tarangire National Park.
It’s easily spotted as it likes to perch conspicuously on top of high vantage points like trees and poles, looking for prey on the ground such as insects, scorpions, snails, and rodents. During mating seasons the males fly high to engage in huge dives and swoops whilst making loud calls. [credit SafarisAfricana]
Vehicles hustle across the Antioch Bridge spanning the San Joaquin River in morning traffic.
I was determined to find an unobstructed angle in which to feature the steep rise of this bridge. Entering an unlocked gate in the 2am hour, I made my way along this private section of Sherman Island. By the time I was ready to leave, the gate had been padlocked shut and I spent a few extra hours confined to this area until an unhappy property owner chided me for my trespassing ways. He then allowed me to exit.
Shot with the long end of the DFA 150-450.
Lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) I try to avoid taking photos of this rather over photographed roller. But couldn't resist this!
Saw this Roller perched in a tree as we were driving past. I pulled up by the side of the road but it was on the passenger side so I had to manoeuvre my camera past my wife and twist round into a position to take the shot. Lol.
It only posed long enough for this shot and then flew off!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
