Most nuthatches breed in the temperate or montane woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere, although two species have adapted to rocky habitats in the warmer and drier regions of Eurasia. However, the greatest diversity is in Southern Asia, and similarities between the species have made it difficult to identify distinct species. All members of this genus nest in holes or crevices. Most species are non-migratory and live in their habitat year-round, although the North American red-breasted nuthatch migrates to warmer regions during the winter. A few nuthatch species have restricted ranges and face threats from deforestation.
Nuthatches are omnivorous, eating mostly insects, nuts, and seeds. They forage for insects hidden in or under bark by climbing along tree trunks and branches, sometimes upside-down. They forage within their territories when breeding, but they may join mixed feeding flocks at other times. Their habit of wedging a large food item in a crevice and then hacking at it with their strong bills gives this group its English name.

The Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the Brent Goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the Cackling Goose lineage.The Barnacle goose was first classified taxonomically by Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1803. Its specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek leuko- "white", and opsis "faced".
In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles. It is sometimes claimed that the word comes from a Celtic word for "limpet", but the sense-history seems to go in the opposite direction.[2]The Barnacle Goose is a medium-sized goose, 60–70 cm long,[3] with a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. During flight a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible.
Barnacle Geese breed mainly on the Arctic islands of the North Atlantic. There are three main populations, with separate breeding and wintering ranges; from west to east:
Breeding in eastern Greenland, wintering on the Hebrides of western Scotland and in western Ireland. Population about 40,000.
Breeding on Svalbard, wintering on the Solway Firth on the England/Scotland border. Population about 24,000.
Breeding on Novaya Zemlya, wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 130,000.
A new fourth population, derived from the Novaya Zemlya population, has become established since 1975 breeding on the Baltic Sea islands (Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden), and wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 8,000.
Small numbers of feral birds, derived from escapes from zoo collections, also breed in other north European countries. Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.

When I first saw this colourful Spider in my French garden, it made me think of the St Andrew's Cross Spiders I captured in my Australian garden. One of the reasons was their shape and markings similarity, although their colours differ. The other reason was a zigzag-shaped web decoration, named the stabilimentum : the St Andrew's Cross designs an x on its web and the Wasp Spider, a single line. I soon discovered that they are both of the genus Argiope . /
En voyant cette Araignée aux jolies couleurs dans mon jardin Breton, j'ai tout de suite fait le rapprochement avec la St Andrew's Cross photographiée dans mon jardin Australien. Leur forme, déjà, assez similaire, le dessin sur leur corps, même si les couleurs sont différentes et le zigzag qu'elles dessinent sur leur toile, une décoration appelée stabilimentum, en forme de X pour la St Andrew's et droite pour l'Argiope frelon. J'ai découvert par la suite que toutes les deux sont du genre Argiope.
I have purposefully posted this landscape immediately after yesterday's landscape to highlight the similarities and differences in landscape photography.
'New Topographics' tenants utilize a straight forward approach. Striping away the extraneous, and focusing on the beauty and simplicity of humanity's intrusion upon the land. Avoiding the picturesque it brings formality, and focuses on the conscious awareness of 'space'.
I was lucky with the harsh sunlight which Robert Adams used when he photographed his series in Colorado.
To achieve this effect I shoot through a vintage glass Wratten 5N5, 3x3 inch filter, then post edit with 'Photoscape' black and white tool.

Stropkov is an economical, social and cultural centre of north Zemplín. It was established on left bank of river Ondava in beautiful scenery of central part in Ondava uplands. For its origins as an ancient Slovak settlement we have to look back (and many archaeologists and historians agree in this case) before the 13th century. The character of the main square is a proof that Stropkov used to belong to the royal lands and there are also some similarities with the development of another town, called Bardejov.
The first authentic written data about the town is from 1404 (Stropko), when Stropkov was already labeled as oppidum—townlet. German guests and soltys too were obtained with the same privileges as their fellows in Bardejov and other towns. The first owner of the town after the king was Ladislav Svatojursky. The other landlords in order were Balickovci, Perinskovci, Peteovci. In 1408 town's toll and castle—castellum—were mentioned for the first time. The development of the town and its whole economic expansion was supported by the law of thirty and market in 1698 which was strengthened by Leopold I with six annual fairs. Stropkov's manor owned about 51 villages in that time. The existence of a big department, which articles dated back in 1575 was an extraordinary event in the history of Slovakia. In this department many different people were united, for example: jewelers, tailors, butchers, cabinetmakers, saddlers, swordfishes, surgeons (shavers) and shopkeepers. Craftsmen from Stropkov were known not only in their hometown, they were selling their products in markets of towns in regions like Zemplin and Šariš as well.
Korean architecture has a big influence from Chinese architecture, hence the striking similarities. It has an emphasis on harmony with blending in into the surroundings.

This is just an insight into one of the most amazing and unearthly creations I have ever seen. There are similarities with the Yellowstone and Icelandic thermal parks which I have been fortunate enough to enjoy.I still can't really get my head around the colours, the smells and whole atmosphere that such visits offer.

Cattle Egret
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics, and warm-temperate zones. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Bubulcus, although some authorities regard two of its subspecies as full species, the western cattle egret and the eastern cattle egret. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonized much of the rest of the world in the last century.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands, and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations are migratory, and others show post breeding dispersal.

National Park Berchtesgaden and Yosemite Valley
Since 2014, the Berchtesgaden National Park and the Californian Yosemite Valley, the second oldest national park in the USA, have been working together. Despite all the differences, there are many similarities in the nature of the two protected areas: the type of rock formations and boulders, the vegetation in the alpine highlands, mountain forests and waters, and also the tourist use of the national park are comparable in many areas. But not only high mountain landscapes characterize the Yosemite Valley as well as the only German high mountain national park in Berchtesgaden, also the biodiversity is particularly high in both national parks. Future collaborations will build on these commonalities, and will focus on research and science, environmental education and public relations, visitor guidance, wildlife management and interaction with user groups.
I stitched 5 high-res 16mm photographs for this panorama.
Nationalpark Berchtesgaden und Yosemite Valley
Seit 2014 arbeiten der Nationalpark Berchtesgaden und das kalifornische Yosemite Valley, der zweitälteste Nationalpark in den USA zusammen. Trotz aller Unterschiede gibt es in der Natur der beiden Schutzgebiete viele Gemeinsamkeiten: Die Art der Gesteinsformationen und Geröllmassen, die Vegetation in den alpinen Hochlagen, Gebirgswälder sowie Gewässer und auch die touristische Nutzung des Nationalparks sind in vielen Bereichen vergleichbar. Doch nicht nur Hochgebirgslandschaften zeichnen das Yosemite Valley ebenso wie den einzigen deutschen Hochgebirgs-Nationalpark in Berchtesgaden aus, auch die Artenvielfalt ist in beiden Nationalparks besonders hoch. Auf diesen Gemeinsamkeiten baut die künftige Zusammenarbeit auf, erstrecken wird sie sich vor allem auf die Bereiche Forschung und Wissenschaft, Umweltbildung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Besucherlenkung, Wildtiermanagement und den Umgang mit Nutzergruppen.
Ich habe 5 hochauflösende Fotos für dieses Panorama zusammengesetzt.
“Three weeks? Oh no, we don’t do that! Nine or ten days at most is enough for us. We’d never stay that long.”
Quite why this woman felt the need to question the length of our holiday in such admonishing tones was a question that hung tentatively in the air across the desk between us. That she’d obviously been earwigging the conversation between us and the hotel receptionist was another one that nobody seemed to have an answer to. Why do people so often seem to feel the need to impose their own values on you? I mean, we weren’t doing anything wrong that either of us were aware of. Apart from checking in at the same time as a busybody with an agenda that was. It’s not as if we were hatching plans to kidnap puppies, or hotwire the neighbour’s Vauxhall Viva while he’d gone to dominoes night at The Plume, was it? As far as we know, it is entirely legal to choose the length of your own holiday and go for three weeks if you so desire. Or even three months. Or three days if that’s what floats your boat. We smiled, nodded and hoped we wouldn’t bump into her or her husband for the remainder of the nine or ten days at most that they had booked themselves in for.
Apart from that, it was good to be back in this part of the world. Catalunya and the Balearics. Before we retired, we used to take just two weeks - because three was out of the question as far as work was concerned - in Majorca every summer. We often went in spring as well. It was like a second home for us. For many years we hoped it would become a first home in fact, but a lot of barriers seem to have put themselves in the way of that particular ambition. We loved exploring different corners of the island, finding spots that the likes of Mr and Mrs Noseyparker were never likely to discover, swimming and snorkelling in the gentle warm Mediterranean. It was a place where we were completely happy and knew exactly where we were going for those two precious August weeks. The journey home to the dreaded September silly season, otherwise known as the start of the autumn term, was always an especially low moment in the annual cycle of events. And from there things only ever seemed to get worse.
Then 2020 arrived and the world closed down for a couple of years. By the time things started to return to normal, we were no longer straitjacketed by the academic year planners. We could go away whenever we wanted. And “whenever we wanted” wasn’t in the middle of summer when prices were sky high and everyone else was on holiday too. Now we could take our holidays when the rest of the world was working or in school - well except for us and the couple who seemed to think that we should be on our way home by next Friday at the very latest. Head for the sun at bargain prices at the start of October and things are far more peaceful in these southern latitudes than they ever were in August. And now we were finally back in the Balearics. But instead of our old stomping ground, we’d decided to have a look at the quieter and smaller neighbour to the east. Neither of us had ever been to Menorca before, but we’d heard good things.
We could see the similarities almost immediately. The scented green pine forests and the baked red earth were so friendly and familiar. The curious balls of soft vegetation on the beaches that we’ve only ever seen on these islands. Unyielding white limestone walls flanking narrow roads, the edges as sharp as dragons’ teeth. Conversations in the local Catalan dialect rather than Spanish. Road signs leading the way to the “platja,” rather than the “playa.” We could easily be back on the island where we’d spent so many summers, but there were subtle differences too. There was a compactness that we liked, and even though the main road across the island was mostly a single carriageway in either direction, it soon became apparent that it wouldn’t take that long to get to wherever we wanted to go. And then there was that wild section of coastline to the north, mostly visited only by the hikers who were on the Cami de Cavalls, the long distance trail that circumnavigates the island.
The very first outing was a wild one too for that matter, as the tail end of a mainland storm strafed the top half of the island. White tops on the water at Cala Pregonda. It was a good job that I’d brought the camera bag then.
This IS a Contraption!! At one stage, I made a number of really FUN Steampunk cloth dolls ( from commercial patterns- by 'Frowning Francis', for the Crafters among you) I collected tons of rusty bottle caps, pieces of rusted metal, springs, a derelict watch that a Dear Friend donated to the cause ( I dismantled it with difficulty) etc! I created this 'thingamy' but never got round to fastening it together. Anyway, for what it is worth, it is my contribution to MM's 'Contraptions' prompt. It is an Alternate Sponser- as, if it WERE all connected, I feel certain that it would Sponse, alternately!! And so it should!! ( please note- any similarity between an Alternate Sponser and Alternate Facts is purely coincidental!!!) HMM
In this ventral view, one cannot deny the similarity of this tiny, scorpion-tailed spider to the Alien face-hugger....the parasitic lifeform that hatches from xenomorph eggs in the Alien movie franchise.
But this little spider is just 10 mm total length.
These distinctive looking Australian spiders were given their common name because they sometimes curl the ends of their abdomens upwards in much the same way as a scorpion does - but there is no venom loaded sting to this tail.
Males are much smaller and lack the extended abdomen.

Common warthogs are a species of wild pig with many similarities to the domesticated pig raised by humans. They are voracious foragers, using their very powerful neck muscles to drive their snouts into soils to uncover anything edible.
There are certainly similarities in some of the architectures of NYC and Manchester. IMHO.

The Val Bregaglia is an alpine valley of Switzerland and Italy at the base of which runs the river Mera. The local dialect is a variety of Lombard with similarities to neighboring dialects of Romansh. The Bregaglia Range is a popular mountaineering destination, and includes such peaks as Monte Disgrazia, Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile.
Only after I uploaded this image did I notice the similarities to the style and motifs of the art of the First Nations of Canada's West Coast, and mingled with it near the top, an image reminiscent of Western religious art. What do you see?

Also known as the ‘Elevator of Carmo’, this impressive 45-meter (147-ft) iron structure links downtown Baixa with the higher Largo do Carmo. Opened in 1902 (and originally powered by steam), it was built by the Portuguese-born French architect, Raoul de Mesnier du Ponsard, apprentice to Gustave Eiffel (note the similarities to the Eiffel Tower!)
Identification is complicated by similarities to long-tailed jaeger and pomarine jaeger, and the existence of three colour morphs. Small for a skua, the parasitic jaeger measures 41–48 cm (16–19 in) in length, 107–125 cm (42–49 in) in wingspan and weighs 300–650 g (11 oz – 1 lb 7 oz).
The tail streamer of the breeding adult accounts for about 7 cm (3 in) of their length. Light-morph adults have a brown back, mainly white underparts and dark primary wing feathers with a white "flash".
The head and neck are yellowish-white with a black cap and there is a pointed central tail projection. Dark-morph adults are dark brown, and intermediate-phase birds are dark with somewhat paler underparts, head and neck. All morphs have the white wing flash.

No privacy, not even for this stork nesting on the town hall of Endingen, Germany. There is a camera watching his nest ...
There are several similarities between the scene on the left and the one on the right (in shapes).
You can see the similarities—the outward and the inward. This brutal thunderstorm so severe that left you parked along the road, questioning whether you would be able to continue traveling to your appointment where you receive the vital elements that provide support, healing and recovery. Bright bolts of lightning and roaring thunder that send startling vibrations throughout the car, thick, blasting, visually impairing sheets of rain sent sideways by the violent gusts of wind. These major, uncontrollable obstacles make what is necessary for growth, recovery, healing, repair and reworking seem to be impossible. The intense difficulties all seem to be symbolic of how hard you have to fight for your own life, growth, healing, recovery and to accept and receive help and support due to the effects of the brutal harm you’ve endured. It is amazing that as you experience many challenges that cause this healing journey to feel nearly impossible, you courageously work to keep fighting for life.

Object: Elephant's Trunk nebula (VdB 142) in IC1396 (October 2025)
The Elephant's Trunk nebula or technically VdB 142 (Van den Berg 142) in the northern constellation of Cepheus, is so named because of its similarity in appearance to an elephant’s trunk. The bright outline around the "trunk" is the surface of the dense cloud that is being illuminated and ionized by a very bright, massive multi-star star to the east of the structure known as HD 206267A. The entire IC1396 region is also ionized by this massive triple star system. Look just above the trunk in the picture to see it.
This was done using the SHO or HST (Hubble Space Telescope Palette) which is accomplished by combining sub frames using three narrowband filters that capture light produced by glowing hydrogen (Ha), oxygen (OIII) and sulfur (SII) present in the nebula. Green is assigned to hydrogen, blue to oxygen and red to the sulfur.

This was Zeus having fun with cirrocumulus clouds and vapour trails back in 2017. He enjoyed adding some mare's tails which provided a unique photo opportunity and a marine similarity.
Until a few months after taking this picture, I did not realize that I had photographed something similar to the "Fibonacci Spiral" on the interior staircase of the Uxama lookout tower.
The similarity is almost perfect.
The interior staircase that gives access to the top of the watchtower of Uxama.
The Watchovers were built with a certain abundance in the Middle Ages in Spain to mark the borders.
They served to warn of the arrival of enemy armies.
There were different types of visual signals to communicate with each other.
The Watchover in this picture is strategically located on the hill where the ancient Iberian and then Roman city of Uxama was located, which gave name to the cities of Osma and El Burgo de Osma in Soria, Spain.

LA ESPIRAL DE FIBONACCI EN LA ATALAYA DE UXAMA. 2017
Hasta unos meses después de hacer esta foto, no me di cuenta de que había fotografiado algo parecido a la "Espiral de Fibonacci" en la escalera interior de la atalaya de Uxama.
El parecido es casi perfecto.
La escalera interior que da acceso a la parte superior de la atalaya de Uxama.
Las atalayas se construyeron con cierta abundancia en la Edad Media en España para marcar las fronteras.
Sirvieron para avisar de la llegada de ejércitos enemigos.
Había diferentes tipos de señales visuales para comunicarse entre sí.
La atalaya de esta imagen está situada estratégicamente en el cerro donde se encontraba la antigua ciudad ibérica y luego romana de Uxama, que dio nombre a las ciudades de Osma y El Burgo de Osma en Soria, España.

The bridge is often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs because of its supposed similarity to the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice. However, Hertford Bridge was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge, and indeed it bears a closer resemblance to the Rialto Bridge in the same city.
There is a false legend saying that many decades ago, a survey of the health of students was taken, and as Hertford College's students were the heaviest, the college closed off the bridge to force them to take the stairs, giving them extra exercise. However, if the bridge is not used, the students actually climb fewer stairs than if they do use the bridge.
This 327 foot monolith is known by two names, Haystack Rock and Chief Kiawanda Rock, but its similarity to another Haystack Rock up the coast at Cannon Beach makes it a neat place to stop and see. It actually mirrors its smaller 237 foot namesake 60 miles away, but they appear the same size due to its location farther out in the ocean. Cape Kiwanda Natural Area is a good place from which to view it. (Sand Lake State Park area 297.jpg)
