Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and are centred on the sun itself. The secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one and because the rainbow itself is spread over a greater area of the sky. The dark area of unlit sky lying between the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's band.

Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. Located in the Sydney harbourside suburb of Kirribilli, New South Wales, the house is at the far eastern end of Kirribilli Avenue. It is one of two official Prime Ministerial residences, the primary official residence being The Lodge in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. The house, gardens and grounds are listed on the Commonwealth Heritage List.
Port Jackson, consisting of the waters of Sydney Harbour, Middle Harbour, North Harbour and the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers, is the natural harbour of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The harbour is an inlet of the Tasman Sea (part of the South Pacific Ocean). It is the location of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The location of the first European settlement and colony on the Australian mainland, Port Jackson has continued to play a key role in the history and development of Sydney. Port Jackson, in the early days of the colony, was also used as a shorthand for Sydney and its environs. Many recreational events are based on or around the harbour itself particularly the Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations and the starting point of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. The waterways of Port Jackson are managed by the Roads & Maritime Services. Sydney Harbour National Park protects a number of islands and foreshore areas, swimming spots, bushwalking tracks and picnic areas. 14701
An unusual and crazy secondary sunset in Canberra.

Large finch, nearly twice the size of a goldfinch. Stocky with strong, thick, pale bill and short, notched tail. Males are stunning with dark head fading to bright yellow underparts, and mostly black wings with bright white secondaries. Females are overall gray with some white on the wing. Flocks often come to feeders for sunflower seeds. Found in forested regions especially at higher elevations. Populations declining dramatically. (eBird)
Taken through my dining room window on the first and only time that they visited the feeders in one of my former homes.

Some asked to see this as a primary image when it was a secondary on the life-cycle mosaic, so here it is. Have a lovely Sunday.

WW J101 backs onto the Vineland Secondary before starting down towards Millville.
The Vineland Secondary was originally part of the PRSL mainline to Cape May. Before the PRSL, it was part of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, a subsidiary of the PRR. The Cape May line was electrified between Camden and Millville until 1949 when PRSL ended electric operations.
Lead engine OMLX #9006 was formerly WW #403 and was built for the Texas and New Orleans (SP's Texas subsidiary) in 1954, one of 59 EMD GP9s built for the T&NO. It was sold to Precision National in 1970 and was the first of seven Precision GP9s rebuilt by the Illinois Central at Paducah. For a brief time, it had IC-style "frog eyes" and SP-style gyralights. Unfortunately, that ended by the time W&W picked up this engine.

A pair of Conrail painted EMDs bring a Sunday H74 east on the Washington Secondary, passing the shell of PU Tower in Phillipsburg. Conrail units have all vanished from NS these days, and the Washington Secondary is now operated by a shortline. However, PU Tower still stands here in similar condition.

This is a pair of Common Blue Damselflies 'in the wheel' forming a heart shape. Damselfly sex is complicated, so pay attention!
The (blue) male initiates the reproductive process by depositing some sperm from his primary genitalia near the tip of his tail onto secondary genitalia under the 2nd segment of his abdomen (just below his 'chest') . Grasping a female by the back of her head or 'prothorax', they fly around in tandem until she is ready to collect the sperm, which she does by looping around so she can collect the sperm with her genitalia located near the tip of her tail - which is what is happening in this picture. They can remain like this for a few seconds or a few minutes, and can even fly around conjoined like this. At some point, she will straighten out, and then they fly in tandem to a nearby stretch of slow flowing water where she will deposit her eggs. I believe that the eggs are not fertilized until they are laid, so it is important the male keeps hold of her until the eggs are deposited to prevent other males from mating with her. The damselflies play no role in caring for their offspring and, in fact, only live a matter of weeks in the winged form. The eggs hatch and develop over a few weeks and the nymphs grow, shedding their skins several times over at least one year, some species multiple years, until, when the time is right, the final 'instar' climbs up a plant stem and sheds its skin to emerge as the final, flying adult form - transitioning from water breathing to air breathing in the process. The adult forms only live for a few weeks, spending that time eating and breeding. Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies) are amongst the most successful animals on earth, surviving virtually unchanged (apart from size) for hundreds of millions of years, being found in fossil records. No species has evolved from them - it seems any mutation makes them less successful.
All these mentions of sex, mating, copulation, sperm and genitals will get lots of hits by people searching for porn on Flickr!
Lovely secondary sunset in Canberra.

CSX B731 heads north on the Framingham Secondary in the nice afternoon light. The report time on this job changed recently as the train now leaves Readville in the afternoon allowing for a decent chase on a sunny day.

A montage of several photos of plants found at the Royal Melbourne Botanic Gardens. The Orange of the Prickly Pear Fruit, bright green of the leaves, Purple colours in the Bouganvillea vine. Happy secondary colours MMM.
The main falls where the Sai Yok empties into the Khwae Noi are upstream of this waterfall. Nonetheless, this secondary waterfall is an impressive sight. Photographed in Sai Yok National Park.
Some of my artistic photographic works are the fruit of careful preparation, the selection of the right solution from an aesthetic point of view. Individual plots, such as this landscape of Ile Perrot, are a rather successful reinterpretation of the expressive colorisation of the famous British romantic painter of the 18th century William Turner. This image conveys a Turner-like watercolour look of the December afternoon sun in the misty haze of the cooling Lake Saint-Louis

I managed to catch a bright -3 magnitude (-7 at center) Iridium Flare on Saturday night on a camping trip at Lake Dillon to celebrate Father's Day with my in-laws. The flare occurred at 22:53:37 and can be verified by the Heavens Above website Iridium Flare calculator here.
This is my third Iridium Flare to catch by luck when doing some night photography. For those new to them, Iridium Flares are caused by a constellation of highly reflective communication satellites (Iridium system) that regularly and predictably glint off the sun. See below for other examples from my stream and have a great week ahead!
A very basic shot in its essence, this frozen rock is nothing more and nothing else than the summit of a mountain, while all the other mountains in the glacier are under the snow.
Þursaborg is the name. 1.290 m high. Not the highest peak, though.
And it was Plan B. Visibility was not good where we were heading for in the first instance, so the flight plan was changed. We turned around, landed for a cup of coffee in a nearby airfield, took off again and flew over the glacier to continue our sightseeing on unparalleled (and well lit) landscapes. It is very difficult to choose pictures to upload.
