This was taken this year, in May. I was in my car when it landed very close...

Owls Gallery

It was Boxing Day in Canada, and lots of people were out and about with their fancy cameras at the Boundary Bay Dyke Trail.

We were all following one distant owl that was flying around in the southern marsh. Eventually, I decided it probably wasn't going to come any closer so I decided to head farther along the trail, away from the other people.

I had barely taken ten steps when I noticed this other short-eared owl sitting about 20 yards away. Oh wait, I meant "metres."

With the sun out the following day i had to return though as i arrived it clouded over but as Robin was leaving i had them to myself for an hour. They did come fairly close which was nice :-)

La catedral de San Salvador de Zaragoza...

La catedral de San Salvador de Zaragoza es la segunda gran iglesia de la ciudad, como la basílica catedral del Pilar, está construida en la plaza del Pilar, la gente le dice la Seo, como a la otra le dice El Pilar.

Está construida en el lugar de un antiguo foro romano, y fue una mezquita en la época mora. Eso explica que el minarete permanece integrado al actual edificio, y que las paredes exteriores de la catedral parezcan algo influenciadas por los árabes también.

Es una mezcla de estilos, la fachada es diferente de la torre del campanario, mezcla el románico, el gótico y el gótico – mudéjar, el renacentista y el barroco. Siempre ha sido el centro religioso de la ciudad desde la época romana.
