Just as they have since the line opened, trains stop to exchange single line tokens at Glenwhilly. The signalman left it until the last seconds before he emerged from his box to avoid the midges!

Following this was a very very long drive home!

The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large sub-Saharan African bovine. There are five subspecies that are recognized as valid by most authorities:
Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the nominotypical subspecies, as well as the largest, found in Southern and East Africa.
S. c. nanus, the forest buffalo, is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of Central and West Africa
S. c. brachyceros, the Sudan buffalo, a smaller version of the Cape buffalo, found in the drier, northern areas of Central and West Africa.
S. c. aequinoctialis, the Nile Buffalo, sometimes considered identical to the Sudan buffalo, found in the drier, northern areas of East and Central Africa.
S. c. mathewsi, the mountain buffalo, a disputed subspecies from the Virunga Mountains in Central Africa.
The adult African buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature: they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head, referred to as a boss.
The African buffalo is more closely related to other buffalo species than it is to other bovids such as American bison or domestic cattle, with its closest living relative being the Asian water buffalo. Its unpredictable temperament may be part of the reason that the African buffalo has never been domesticated, which would also explain why the African buffalo has no domesticated descendants, unlike the wild yak and wild water buffalo which are the ancestors of the domestic yak and water buffalo. Natural predators of adult African buffaloes include lions, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas, and Nile crocodiles. As one of the Big Five game animals, the Cape buffalo is a sought-after trophy in hunting.
The African buffalo is a very robust species. Its shoulder height can range from 1.0 to 1.7 m (3.3 to 5.6 ft) and its head-and-body length can range from 1.7 to 3.4 m (5.6 to 11.2 ft). The tail can range from 70 to 110 cm (28 to 43 in) long. Compared with other large bovids, it has a long but stocky body (the body length can exceed the wild water buffalo, which is heavier and taller) and short but thickset legs, resulting in a relatively short standing height. Cape buffaloes weigh 425 to 870 kg (937 to 1,918 lb) (males weigh about 100 kg (220 lb) more than females). In comparison, African forest buffaloes, at 250 to 450 kg (600 to 1,000 lb), are only half that size. Its head is carried low; its top is located below the backline. The front hooves of the buffalo are wider than the rear, which is associated with the need to support the weight of the front part of the body, which is heavier and more powerful than the back.
Other than humans, African buffaloes have few predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions. Lions kill and eat buffaloes regularly, and in some regions, the buffaloes are the lions' primary prey. It often takes several lions to bring down a single adult buffalo, and the entire pride may join in the hunt. R_48461

That was picked some 10 yrs ago with a single needle. I wanted to do it straight away, but I couldn't find any other needle, so you can imagine it took me a long time :)
Strong winds cause the light sand particles to fly and whisper over ground in these days in Waddensea Nationalpark (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany).

i would be happy to make my bed here and not miss a single sunset. taken at st hilary`s church wallasey uk.
One single snowflake frozen in the air. I was zoomed in all the way to 105 mm, wide-open at f/4, and just happened to get lucky.
I intended to just get the repeating pattern of the logs with snow on them and this little guy creeped into focus.
It was a great way to spend some time on a beautiful day.
Have you ever experienced a momentary encounter with someone when your eyes locked and it struck a deep chord within you? Sometimes we can remember that instant connection for years afterwards even though in the scheme of things it was a pretty insignificant event.
A couple of days ago, my wife and I were returning to town after a couple of hours scouring the countryside for friendly encounters with things that move. As we neared town, I spotted an eagle resting on a smaller tree as he surveyed a wetland pond that was trying to escape the clutches of winter.
After watching for a bit, he decided to leave. Nearly every time I am within 50 yards of an eagle and they get up to leave, they normally head away from me and are soon gone far from me.
But this one decided to circle above the pond and then came back to check me out as if he couldn’t believe what he saw the first time. Always a thrill to look into the eyes of an eagle.

In August 2015, I travelled to Belize to conduct the BugShot workshop along with John Abbott and Thomas Shahan attended by some of the most passionate macro photographers on the planet. I'm compiling the interesting finds and fuzzy behind the scenes shots in a single post as it would be too lengthy to do a daily journal. Read more.
