Flamborough and Bempton as seen from Filey Brigg.
As usually happens, clouds covered the sunrise proper but a short time thereafter, the sun blasted its light through the clouds and lit up the cliffs around the Flamborough peninsular. Quite a spectacular morning and well needed after two weeks of coughs and colds put me out of action. Surprising how my mood changes for a whole week if we don't get to have a run out somewhere.
With the arrival of a new visitor to our yard, I just had to take numerous photos of this Rufous-sided Towhee. As luck would have it, he's seems to be sticking around.

Photographed at La Minga Ecolodge near Cali in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, this White-sided Flowerpiercer (Diglossa albilatera) paused just long enough on a mossed branch for a clean frame. The bird’s charcoal plumage, broken only by the pale flashes along its sides, picked up the diffused forest light beautifully. The background fell away into soft greens and muted browns, creating a natural separation that required no artificial blur.
From a technical standpoint, this scene demanded careful timing. The species moves quickly and often remains partially hidden in understory cover. I waited for a moment when the bird stepped into an open patch of light, allowing me to position focus precisely on the eye and maintain crisp detail across the feather texture. The composition works because of that balance between subject clarity and environmental softness, a reminder of how important patience is when photographing small forest birds.

Where I live every side is a B side (well, there are some B+ sides I suppose). Anyway, thank you Markus for starting this group on Flickr and inviting me. Really appreciate it.

Fall bird
This species is migrating thru this location in decent numbers now. The fall plumage is dramatically different than the spring plumage for this warbler species. This individual has no discernible chestnut coloring on the side, but if one could lift the wing up exposing the entire side there may be some chestnut coloration that is hidden from view. In the field it is often difficult to distinguish first fall birds of this species from each other and from fall adult females. A fall adult male would have so much chestnut that it wouldn't be missed.
The upward cocked tail is very characteristic of this warbler species.
Moscow, Russia.
Outside the citycentre they are an enormous amount of these apartmentbuildings. Moscow has become so populair in Russia that everybody wants to live there.

Faringdon in Oxfordshire’s Vale of White Horse is a market town with a population of 8,260, growing quite rapidly.
The lake level was pretty high, as is usual early in the summer, so we could paddle into marshy side channels.

Candid in front of Rialto bridge,Venice
The first dry crossing of the Grand Canal was a pontoon bridge built in 1181 byNicolò Barattieri. It was called the Ponte della Moneta, presumably because of the mint that stood near its eastern entrance.
Maintenance was vital for the timber bridge. It was partly burnt in the revolt led byBajamonte Tiepolo in 1310. In 1444, it collapsed under the weight of a crowd watching a boat parade and it collapsed again in 1524.The development and importance of the Rialto market on the eastern bank increased traffic on the floating bridge, so it was replaced in 1255 by a wooden bridge. This structure had two inclined ramps meeting at a movable central section, that could be raised to allow the passage of tall ships. The connection with the market eventually led to a change of name for the bridge. During the first half of the 15th century, two rows of shops were built along the sides of the bridge. The rents brought an income to the State Treasury, which helped maintain the bridge.
The idea of rebuilding the bridge in stone was first proposed in 1503. Several projects were considered over the following decades. In 1551, the authorities requested proposals for the renewal of the Rialto Bridge, among other things. Plans were offered by famous architects, such as Jacopo Sansovino, Palladio andVignola, but all involved a Classical approach with several arches, which was judged inappropriate to the situation. Michelangelo also was considered as designer of the bridge.
The present stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was finally completed in 1591. It is similar to the wooden bridge it succeeded. Two inclined ramps lead up to a central portico. On either side of the portico, the covered ramps carry rows of shops. The engineering of the bridge was considered so audacious that architect Vincenzo Scamozzi predicted future ruin. The bridge has defied its critics to become one of the architectural icons of Venice.

Coming down on the west side of downtown, Marquette Rail's Z151 works its way toward Wyoming Yard with their interchange train for CSX.
Two cruise ships are docked side-by-side at the cruise terminal in St. Kitts. Not sure what the structure in the middle of the shot is but it gave nice symmetry to it.
