Thirsty male Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) at canal (Serangoon River) beside Hougang Ave 7.
12 June 2021 - A while ago, a pet, a critically endangered male Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) escaped from its owner. It stayed in a canal (Serangoon River) beside Hougang Ave 7 during its short span of freedom. Widely regarded as the world’s most beautiful duck, the male Mandarin Duck is known for its eye-catching plumage. When rumors got to us about this rare and enchanting escapee, we rushed to the spot. The place was very crowded cos this Mandarin Duck had already achieved quite a lot of fame due to many reports and news about its beauty. We noticed that some kind soul has put a huge package of cooked rice into the canal, perhaps for the survival of the Ducky Celebrity. Fortunately we managed to secured a nice place and shot numerous pics of this gorgeous duck.
Update: 1st July 2021 - Heard that the escapee Mandarin Duck was caught by relevant authorities and returned to its owner. Its brief adventure sadly over. However, after its first try at freedom, it managed to escaped many more times and back to captivity, again and again.
Note: The Mandarin Duck is not a resident of Singapore. It is the native of Northern East Asia, eg: Japan, Korea, China and East Russia. And the Mandarin Duck is an endangered species.

I haven't been here for a while, waiting for proper winter conditions.
I always loved the shape of the Blondin support tower, the aerial ropeway system that lifted carts of slate out of the bottom of the quarry. I'm not sure where the other end was secured to on the opposite side of the quarry but it must have had equally substantial fixings.
There are some climbers, slightly below centre of this shot.
Crazy Tuesday - Keys
Looked for a key with a bit of a 'different' cut out....... found this one that is used to secure the tow-hitch on a caravan - I did learn something when trying to photograph in an interesting position.......because it is metal it could stand 'on end' on my 'magnetic' tablet cover......who knew !!!
So just to make it a little more interesting, it stood proud in front of a bottle of cherryade!!
I saw this male bear several times while staying in Finland last summer, and every time he made a big impression, especially when appearing from behind a tree; I was extremely glad to be in a secure hide. The guides reckoned he was approximately 450kg, which is 5 times my weight. Individuals have been recorded at a whopping 650kg; the mind boggles. He was a relatively recent visitor to the area, and they thought he was fairly relaxed, but they did not want to meet him in the forest on foot!
I recently visited the Southward Motor Museum near Wellington and very handily, I just happened to have the big Pentax on board so decided to see what different shots I could get from my previous visits here.

I used the painting with light technique ( a long exposure in the dark with the subject illuminated by a flashlight) to achieve the dramatic lighting.
The key is a huge one that my husband "acquired" as a child from a convent that was being demolished.
Whatever this man is carrying on his homemade cart he's certainly making sure it's tied securely. Bacolod City

Large on black canvas | My favorite shots
Location: Along a fishing-lake at Haren-Ems (Emsland) Germany.
Description: Taken this morning while I was driving somewhere near the city Haren, when I noticed a large (sport-fishing) lake on the right side of the road. Initially I wanted to take some shots of this lake together with these thick cloud formation. But when I looked at the right side along this lake, I noticed these streamlined sky that seemed like a vein of heaven. So, I mounted the camera on my Manfrotto, made some shots, with different f-stops, from a low-angled position. When I got home, I was really surprised about how the sky eventually turned out: it was exactly what I had in mind, but it wasn't quite noticeable on spot with the relatively little LCD-display and bright low-angled morning sunlight.
Exposure: 3 brackets of -2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev at f/8, securely mounted on a Manfrotto 190.
Technique: HDR Tone Mapping & PS color and contrast enhancements.
