Part of a 10 m high spiral staircase in oak from Gauthier Oushoorn (Belgian artist).
He has a profound interest in the definition of space. Architecture is his recurring frame of reference, while his training in craftsmanship acts both as a tool and an obstruction. Through sculptural means he explores the elements for creating space, which he simultaneously uses as a functional tool for the realized work.
The stairs obey to mathematical laws which replace the ego of the artist, as in Islamic art.

These two swans were having their dinner at dusk on a winter's day. Every now and then they took their heads out of the water, but I had to wait until they did it simultaneously. That was a hard test in the cold, without gloves, as we had fresh snow.
Rotunda of St. Prokop in Strzelno is the largest Romanesque temple in Poland built on a circular plan. The entry in the chronicles of Jan Długosz gives the date March 16, 1133, however, archival research indicates the simultaneous completion of the rotunda and the nearby Norbertine church (i.e. the beginning of the 13th century).
The building was made of granite stone blocks, with later brick elements. Adjacent to the rotunda, which serves as the nave, is the chancel on a square plan, two apses and a tower.

Rotunda św. Prokopa w Strzelnie to największa romańska świątynia w Polsce zbudowana na planie koła. Zapis w kronikach Jana Długosza podaje datę 16 marca 1133, jednak badania archiwalne wskazują na równoczesny czas ukończenia rotundy i pobliskiego kościoła norbertanek (czyli początek XIII w.).
Budowla wykonana została z granitowych ciosów kamiennych, z późniejszymi elementami z cegły. Do rotundy, pełniącej funkcję nawy, przylegają: prezbiterium na planie kwadratu, dwie apsydy i wieża.

Sächsische Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz
Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.
Bergformen
In der Regel sind zwei Bergformen zu unterscheiden. Als Steine werden zahlreiche Felsformationen des Elbsandsteingebirges in der Böhmischen und Sächsischen Schweiz bezeichnet. Prominente Beispiele sind der Königstein, der Lilienstein, Gohrisch und Papststein. Die Bezeichnung erstreckt sich nicht auf die hügelartigen Kuppen aus vulkanischem Basalt oder granitischem Material des Grundgebirges wie die Waitzdorfer Höhe oder den Großen Winterberg.
Die kretazischen Sandsteingebilde ragen aus den sogenannten Ebenheiten heraus, dem ehemaligen Niveau der Elbe, und stellen ihrerseits Reste einer früheren Rumpffläche dar. Im Zuge der spättertiären Anhebung des Erzgebirges und des seitlichen Druckes vom Lausitzer Bergland zerbrach die Sandsteinplatte kreuzgitterartig, was bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Fließgeschwindigkeit der Elbe und rückschreitender Erosion in den Seitentälern Angriffsmöglichkeiten und Leitbahnen für die zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers bot. Zunächst verblieben die größeren Tafelberge (Lilienstein), oder bereits stark zerklüftete wie Zirkelstein oder Kaiserkrone, oder aber bereits bewaldete (Kohlbornstein), die sich bei weiterer erosiver Zerstörung in langgezogene Grate (Schrammsteine) bis hin zu einzelnen Felsnadeln (Torwächter) auflösten. Morphologisch härtere Schichtpartien, die der Erosion länger und erfolgreicher Widerstand leisten, bilden meist die oberste Schicht. Der Zusammenbruch erfolgt somit meist von unten her bzw. von den Felsflanken.

Saxon Switzerland - Elbe Sandstone Mountains
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland
Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with local and international climbers.
The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
Hills
As a rule, two types of hill may be distinguished.
Numerous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in both Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland, are known locally in this region as Steine ("rocks"). Prominent examples are the Königstein, the Lilienstein, the Gohrisch and the Papststein. This description does not, however, include the dome-shaped Kuppen such as the Waitzdorfer Höhe or the Großer Winterberg, whose bedrock is made of volcanic basalt or granitic material.
The Cretaceous sandstone formations soar above the so-called "levels" of their surrounding area, the former level of the River Elbe, and represent the remains of an old peneplain. In the course of the Late Tertiary, uplifting of the Ore Mountains and sideways pressure from the Lusatian Highlands shattered the sandstone plate along lines that intersected like a grid and this, combined with the simultaneously increasing stream velocity of the Elbe and regressive erosion in its side valleys, offered new lines of attack and new routes for the destructive power of water. Initially the larger table hills (Lilienstein), or those already deeply fissured like Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone or already forested (Kohlbornstein), remained, but these too broke up later as a result of erosive destruction into long ridges (Schrammsteine) or even into individual rock pinnacles (Torwächter). Morphologically harder sections of strata, that resisted karstification longer and more successfully, generally form the uppermost layers. The collapse of rock structures is usually therefore a result of erosion from below or from the flanks.
Novodevichy Monastery was founded by Grand Prince Vasili III in 1524. Is simultaneously active monastery and the State Historical Museum. ensemble of 14 buildings, including eight temples. In 2004, the monastery celebrated 480 years and its architectural ensemble was included in the list of cultural and natural heritage UNESCO.

Deutscher Dom | German Cathedral #3
Explored July 20, 2020
Oh dear, I realise that this last part (for now) of my mini series of the German Cathedral was due two Sunday's ago. So I better upload it today so as to not keep you waiting for another week (and also to open the way for some new captures which I took this week at the "cube berlin"). I do have more captures taken inside the German Cathedral, and also at the Gendarmenmarkt, and will post them peu à peu. But for now, this is the last one.
This is another kaleidoscoped Sunday slide (and please check out the fourth comment – I was too slow with posting the photo link –, because last year I had already posted a slide of an image taken during that visit at the German Cathedral's highest point : right under the cupola). The title came to my mind not only because of the rather obvious "vertigo"-inducing height of the tower, and the fact that this is a duplicated / mirrored / flipped-and-combined version of the tower, but it's also derived from the fact that back in the day the two buildings adjacent to the German and the French Cathedral were both used as churches. The "New Church" of the German Cathedral was used as a "Simultaneum", a double church for Calvinists and Lutherans, and the French Cathedral was a church for the, also Protestant, Hugenot immigrants to Prussia. The "kaleidoscoping" was easy here; I copied the original capture to a new layer in Photoshop, mirrored it, duplicated the canvas, combinded both the original and the mirrored image, and then, in Lightroom, rotated the final image to the right. I think the final result looks very natural, almost as if the building had been constructed that way and not the result of a composite done in PS.
I hope that the French Cathedral, which also houses the "Hugenot Museum", will be opened again for visitors soon. It's under renovation since 2017; it will be interesting to compare the German and French Cathedrals' interiors; as I've mentioned earlier, the German Cathedral's interior was reconstructed in a modern way – lots of raw concrete as you can see above and also in my previous picture from the series –, while I assume that the French Cathedral's interior will be reconstructed true to the original (here's a link that will take you to the French Cathedral's website where you can check out a few interior captures – unfortunately very small, but you can see the difference: www.franzoesischer-dom.de/pages/start/de/franzoesischer-d...).
Happy Sliders Sunday Everyone, have a safe and healthy week ahead!
Hier ist das – vorerst – letzte Bild meiner Mini-Serie vom Deutschen Dom. Ich habe noch einige Fotos vom Gendarmenmarkt und auch vom Innern des Deutschen Doms, die ich peu à peu hochladen werde, aber wann genau, weiß ich noch nicht. Diese Version ist ganz offensichtlich nicht die Originalansicht (siehe vorheriges Foto aus der Serie im Album), sondern wieder eine Kaleidoskop-Spielerei in Photoshop. Das Endresultat (Vorgehensweise: Originalbild auf eine zweite Ebene kopiert, gespiegelt, die Arbeitsfläche entsprechend vergrößert, beide Bilder mittig zusammengesetzt, zurück in Lightroom und dort das fertige Bild einmal nach rechts gedreht) sieht erstaunlich natürlich aus, finde ich, fast so, als wäre das Gebäude so konstruiert worden und nicht das Ergebnis einer Photoshop-Arbeit. Im vierten (ich war zu langsam) Kommentar findet Ihr ein weiteres Kaleidoskop-Bild vom Dom, aufgenommen am höchsten erreichbaren Punkt dort: direkt unter der Kuppel.
Ich hoffe, dass bald der Zwilling des Deutschen Doms, der Französische Dom, wiedereröffnet werden wird. Momentan sind letzterer und das Hugenotten-Museum wegen Renovierungsarbeiten geschlossen. Ein Vergleich des Innern der beiden Türme wäre sicher spannend, da ich anhand von Fotos (hier zu sehen, leider klein, aber man kann den Unterschied zum Deutschen Dom gut erkennen: www.franzoesischer-dom.de/pages/start/de/franzoesischer-d...) davon ausgehe, dass der Französische Dom, anders als der Deutsche, auch im Innern originalgetreu wiederhergestellt werden wird, also ohne die zweifelsohne faszinierende Rohbeton-Konstruktion des Deutschen Doms.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Sommer-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!

It looks like I got another life bird at Ken Hahn Park. I would have dismissed this chunk of a bird as a Hermit Thrush but another birder put the Swainson's on our radar. The bird stayed on the ground or on low branches in the shade of the Schotia Tree.
"During summer, look—and especially listen—for the Swainson’s Thrush and its distinctive, spiraling song in closed forests of northern North America and the West. Swainson’s Thrushes become numerous across most of forested North America during migration in spring and fall. Though these birds can be hard to spot on the ground in a dim forest understory, they sing frequently in summer and call frequently during migration. In the breeding season, listen for the species’ beautiful, flutelike song coming from rich forest. "allabouboids
"... the birds have a double voice box, unique to them, called the syrinx. A fine singer like a thrush can voice notes independently and simultaneously from each half of its syrinx, notes which blend brilliantly as ethereal, harmonious tones."birdnote.org

seeing and recording are almost simultaneous. His output is limited only by his ability to see. For this reason it has always been my belief that an experienced photographer, given the means to devote himself entirely to creative expression, should be able to produce a tremendous amount of valuable work.

Tina was chomping on Jimmy, who might have been simultaneously chomping on Tina. It was about ten minutes before their lunchtime, so they were probably both just a little antsy.
This coordinated song sparrow can't only walk and chew gum at the same time but it can also sing and do the splits simultaneously - now that takes talent!
A large, dark grayish brown kiwi with brownish streaking, often showing white patches on face. Restricted to native forest near Okarito in New Zealand, with small populations on predator-free Mana, Blumine, and Motuara islands. Often heard at night foraging as it sniffs loudly, tapping the ground for invertebrates. Male call is a series of clear rising whistles. Female call is a harsh throaty wail. Both sexes repeat their call many times, and sometimes call simultaneously. Could be confused with Weka by voice and shape; look for the kiwi’s much longer bill and lack of tail, and listen for its multisyllabic call. (eBird)
---------------
On the ferry to Blumine Island were two conservation officers who were taking two kiwis to a nearby island for release into the wild. During the trip, they brought out one of the kiwis and showed the fascinated passengers how the birds were banded and tagged with electronic trackers. The kiwi wasn't really impressed by all this handling, but the bander knew what she was doing and the job was quickly done. Before returning him to his travel box, the conservation officer showed him off to the enthralled passengers, most of whom had probably never seen a kiwi close up and in the daylight. I was absolutely thrilled!
A few days later, we heard a female calling at a mainland location, but did not see her so this was the only sighting that we had.

swimming in the lake was always a little dicey if you didn't like invasive species. there were razor clams, blue-green algae, and american eels streaming out of the tributaries, ready to rub their slimey bodies against your water-treading calves. but not so fast..... seems the eels have been dying off suddenly and it's a mystery. as it turns out, they're fascinating creatures. i discovered this after briefly cruising thru a review of "the book of eels" (european eels, in this case). i love the title, it sounds so biblical.... simultaneous righteous and evil connotations. who doesn't love a slippery dichotomy? PS this house is on one of those tributaries.
"Cygnus touchdown in 30", cited Ellwood calmly into his headset for history's sake knowing that no one would hear it for weeks.
Having been awakened four days ago he still felt weak and a little woozy, but setting eyes on the Swan provided enough adrenaline to overcome such trivialities. The blue orb glowed in it's ink black surroundings and his eyes darted to take it all in before his one way trip was over and he'd never see such sights again. "When you are a planet named after a constellation, you gotta be good", he quipped to himself.
The Rocinante pierced the atmosphere with a fiery roar that baptized the ship and ended all possibilities of communication with Earth simultaneously.
Another jolt as the reverse rockets fired adding to the cacophony that was his tiny world for the moment, ten NASCAR races combined couldn't mimic the din. Ever so slowly the descents' speed was lessened until that spine shrinking final blast, the hover, and then touchdown. All was silent except for his breathing which he had to urge because his body seemingly had forgotten to do it on its own.
Test probes had reported air that was breathable, too late to worry about that now so Ellwood unscrewed his helmet and tossed it aside, unless he would need a fishbowl later it was useless now. He took two deep breaths as he stared at the hatch. The hatch that would open to a new world, his new world. One final thought hit him as he reached for the door to the rest of his life, 'did I leave the oven on?'....
The modern double helix staircase, commonly referred to as the "Bramante Staircase", was designed by Giuseppe Momo, sculpted by Antonio Maraini and realized by the Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry in 1932 and was inspired by the original Bramante Staircase (from 1505 A.D.)
This design allows visitors to ascend and descend simultaneously without crossing paths, as the staircase spirals upward in a double helix formation. The term "double helix" refers to the two intertwined helical structures, reminiscent of the double helix shape of a DNA molecule.
A Halloween decoration emanates an eerie feeling of omnipresence as it beckons me from the shelf of a discount store. Even in the context of a brightly lit retail environment, full of shoppers and just one aisle away from potato chips, the eyes radiate pure malevolence. In moments like this it all feels directed solely at me. It's almost as if only I can see these things as they truly are, rather than the cheap plastic skull that other shoppers see. My mind always seems to work in this two-track system: interpreting what I actually see versus how things make me feel. There's often a wide gulf separating the two. It's the simultaneous curse and blessing bestowed upon artists. I snapped the picture then hurried on with my shopping. But memories of this moment will linger.

Tak Arikushi plays Gypsy-jazz music with a Japanese twist: he fuses the red-hot swing rhythms of Django Reinhardt with rhapsodic Japanese melodies both traditional and contemporary. The music is an exploration of the crossroads of American jazz and Japanese culture, and the historic exchange between the two. His accolades include sharing the stage with Gypsy-jazz giant Stephane Wrembel, a concert I also attended. Inventive arrangements with the acoustic string-swing instrumentation are played with virtuosity and passion for a sound that will have you tapping your toe and simultaneously contemplating zen. I am not sure, if this is the best photo of Tak I have, but it's certainly the latest from a jam session at the Drom's 'Swing Tuesday'. Here he is on the stage with Gabriel- clarinet, Max- bass and Matt Smith- trumpet. Tak is at these sessions quite often and his duels with other guitarists are a real treat. Tak usually plays Gitane guitar (John Jorgenson), but on this occasion he brought his Ibanez.

If sometimes you have no idea what kind of photo I am going to post, it's probably because I also have no idea what photo I am going to post, either. I usually decide about 15 seconds beforehand unless there's a birthday or Caturday post. Anyway, this was a reflection of the outside steps along the ceiling of the top floor of the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and I thought ok I like that and can also relate to that. I feel like I don't post photos of my home city of Chicago as often as I should, either.
So...what does it actually mean to be defined by diagonals? There's an element of unpredictability here and perhaps of choice paralysis too....you are constantly caught between two simultaneous directions given the illusion of a shorter distance between points but only if you are brave enough to take it and can survive. So, you may end up feeling trapped with an illusion that you should be feeling more motivated with a clear direction.

It's crazy how Second Life can virtually connect almost everybody who's interested in the entire world, pulling millions of people together in one vast beautiful place of endless creativity, but still somehow simultaneously make you feel like you're completely alone.
After watching this two slightly immature eagles fight over this stump space I think I can say that, like the quantum mechanical Pauli exclusion principle, this proves that two eagles cannot occupy the same space on a stump simultaneously. Of course this violates the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment that tries to illustrate the absurdity of applying quantum theory to the macro-physical world, but hey, even that appears to be in question these days...

My new rig using three 200mm lenses simultaneously is finally able to produce some images! Still working out several kinks in the process.
Spent 1.5 hours and gathered about 4.5 hours of light. The seeing was not very good, clouds rolled in but this is a large object and very happy to see this starting to come to life.
"The California Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It is named for its resemblance to the shape of the state of California in the United States. Here is an overview of its key characteristics:
Distance and Size: The California Nebula is approximately 1,000 light-years away from Earth and spans around 100 light-years in length. It appears large in the sky, with an angular size of around 2.5 degrees, which is about five times the width of the full moon.
Composition and Color: The nebula is predominantly composed of hydrogen gas, and its striking red color is due to the ionization of hydrogen atoms. This ionization occurs when ultraviolet light from nearby stars excites the hydrogen gas, causing it to emit a characteristic red glow.
Exciting Star: The main source of ionization for the California Nebula is the bright, hot star Xi Persei (or Menkib), a massive O-type star. The ultraviolet radiation from this star plays a significant role in energizing the surrounding gas.
Visibility: Despite its large size, the California Nebula is relatively faint and difficult to observe with the naked eye. It is best viewed with long-exposure astrophotography or through wide-field telescopes equipped with hydrogen-alpha filters, which enhance the nebula's emission."

Zubizuri, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Zubizuri, también conocido como puente peatonal del Campo de Volantín, aunque popularmente llamado puente de Calatrava, es un puente en arco (cuya pista cuelga de él) sobre la ría del Nervión, en la ciudad vasca de Bilbao, en el norte de España. Une el Campo de Volantín (Castaños), en la margen derecha, con Uribitarte (el Ensanche), en la izquierda.
Fue diseñado por el arquitecto valenciano Santiago Calatrava, que también dirigió el proyecto de la renovación del Aeropuerto de Bilbao. Las obras comenzaron en 1990 y fue inaugurado en 30 de mayo de 1997.
El diseño consiste en un arco inclinado que une dos plataformas, con rampas de acceso y escaleras en ambas orillas, que sostiene la estructura peatonal con cables de hierro. Todo el puente está pintado de blanco, como es común entre las estructuras de Calatrava.
Desde su inauguración, casi simultánea con la del Museo Guggenheim, el Zubizuri fue un símbolo de la nueva Bilbao, constituyendo un elemento turístico más del paseo de la Ría. Es un paseo habitual de los huéspedes de los hoteles del Campo de Volantín antes de llegar al mencionado museo
Zubizuri, also known as the Campo de Volantín pedestrian bridge, although popularly called Calatrava bridge, is an arch bridge (whose track hangs from it) over the Nervión estuary, in the Basque city of Bilbao, in northern Spain. It joins Campo de Volantín (Castaños), on the right bank, with Uribitarte (El Ensanche), on the left.
It was designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, who also led the Bilbao Airport renovation project. Work began in 1990 and it was inaugurated on May 30, 1997.
The design consists of an inclined arch that joins two platforms, with access ramps and stairs on both sides, which supports the pedestrian structure with iron cables. The entire bridge is painted white, as is common among Calatrava structures.
Since its inauguration, almost simultaneous with that of the Guggenheim Museum, the Zubizuri was a symbol of the new Bilbao, constituting another tourist element of the Ria promenade. It is a common walk for guests of Campo de Volantín hotels before arriving at the aforementioned museum.
Today, I edited some of the abstract images I took last year, where I rotate and zoom simultaneously while taking a longer exposure of our Rudbeckia. I’ve already done this before and it’s just so much fun that I do it every year. Since you can never be sure what comes out, I took a lot of such images, where I liked this one the most, even though it’s less regular compared my previous ones. Hope you like it too! :)

Demostración de las iluminaciones de los globos al inyectar fuego en sus interiores para que todo su colorido fuera muy vistoso y siguiendo el ritmo de la música discotequera. Es fantástico ver tantos globos hinchados simultaneamente, un verdadero espectáculo.
En esta ocasión busqué este encuadre y tuve que esperar que pusieran sus motores en marcha inyectando fuego a presión en el interior de los globos, pero no demasiado para que no se calentara en demasía el aire y se soltaran de sus sujeciones en el suelo, por ese motivo era muy dificil pillarlos todos a la vez inyectando fuego.
Debes estar tan atento a este momento y que no se te mueva la cámara, teniendo en cuenta que no puedes usar tripode por estar entre una gran cantidad de gente y entre los globos.
Después de una gran cantidad de disparos, (más de treinta), logré la foto que me propuse... y és esta.
Pero me quedó un ojo que no veia bien durante unos minutos, por estar mirando tan largo tiempo por el visor y recimiendo empujones de gente que pasaba de un lado a otro.
Comento como conseguí realizar la foto, pòr que quizás muchos se les pasa desapercibido que todos los motores estan en marcha dentro de mi encuadre... espero que os guste.

Demonstration of the lighting of the balloons by injecting fire into their interiors so that all their colors were very showy and following the rhythm of disco music. It is fantastic to see so many balloons inflated simultaneously, a real spectacle.
This time I looked for this frame and I had to wait for them to start their engines by injecting fire under pressure into the interior of the balloons, but not too much so that the air would not get too hot and they would come loose from their fasteners on the ground, for for that reason it was very difficult to catch them all at once injecting fire.
You must be so attentive to this moment and that the camera does not move, taking into account that you cannot use a tripod because you are among a large number of people and Engines running. (Igualada - Catalonia) among the balloons.
After a lot of shots, (more than thirty), I got the photo that I set out for myself ... and this is it.
But I was left with one eye that did not see well for a few minutes, because I was looking through the viewfinder for a long time and receiving shoves from people who passed from one place to another.
I comment on how I managed to take the photo, because perhaps many of them go unnoticed that all the engines are running within my frame ... I hope you like it.

The gate was built between 1380 and 1425 as part of the second city wall. The whole wall was completed around 1450. The gate was attacked in 1427 during the siege of the city. This attack was repelled.
The gate was opened and closed every day by the appointed raddraaiers, "wheel-turners". A minimum of twelve wheel-turners were collected morning and evening by several guards. It was an extremely dangerous task; if they did not begin walking simultaneously, then one could fall, dragging the rest along with often fatal results. Before the gate could come down, it had to be raised, to pull out the iron pins that held it in place. Only then could it come down. While the gate was going down, walking in the wheel grew ever easier and faster, and many people stumbled and broke their limbs. The koppelpoort was also never breached.
VIA 62 on the left and VIA 67 at right are arriving at Dorval Station simultaneously. Generally VIA trains in either direction will only be on the south track, so it's rare to see a meet like this.
This drake Teal decided to indulge in a simultaneous wing and leg stretch after sitting motionless for some time. It was on a small island and the conditions were just right for a mirror reflection. Even though it was in bright sunshine the angle was wrong to catch the green iridescence in its speculum, which is Latin for mirror and is that shiny patch at the back of the wing. Exactly like the iridescence on a Hummingbird's throat, the speculum just looks black unless you catch it at the right angle. For interest this is the same Teal and you can see the speculum's iridescent green on the closed wing: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52460114490/in/dateposted/
The colours on a duck's speculum (and a Hummingbird's throat) are not created by pigments like most coloured feathers. The beautiful green iridescence is formed by refraction of light through a microscopically thin transparent layer on the feathers. Light reflects off both the front and back of this layer and the light travels slower through the layer causing minute phase differences in the light which creates colours. Miniscule differences in the thickness of the layers create different colours. The same thing happens with a drop of oil on a puddle. Each rainbow colour is created by tiny differences in the thickness of the oil layer. But if you catch the bird at the wrong angle the colour disappears and the speculum just looks black like this. Incidentally the word iridescence comes from Iris, the personification of the rainbow in Greek mythology. That's why beautifully coloured things like eyes and flowers are named iris.
