When I was in the Dolomites, I also visited the Sextenstein. From there you also have a good view of the Drei Zinnen, an absolutely amazing place. You walk about 6 kilometers from the parking lot and about 220 - 300 meters of altitude difference. The Sextenstein is at an altitude of 2539 meters.

This is actually a bit of a re-edit of one that appears earlier in the stream. I think it might be a bit better, though I'm still not happy with it. There is some detail in the background (bike rider, couple under umbrella) that I wish I could have captured and brought out better)
About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts (Courtesy RSPB).

Squabbling Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)
Smaller than blackbirds, with a short tail, pointed head, triangular wings, starlings look black at a distance but when seen closer they are very glossy with a sheen of purples and greens.
Their flight is fast and direct and they walk and run confidently on the ground. Noisy and gregarious, starlings spend a lot of the year in flocks.
Still one of the commonest of garden birds, its decline elsewhere makes it a Red List species. What they eat: Invertebrates and fruit. Starlings are conspicuous and widespread in the UK, occurring everywhere except for the highest parts of the Scottish Highlands. They are most abundant in southern England and are more thinly distributed in upland areas with moorland. Still one of the UK's commonest garden birds. In winter, huge roosts can be found in plantations, reedbeds and city centres (Courtesy RSPB).

This Golden Crowned Sparrow was very busy munching on tender leaves in the bush. And he was even kind enough to share with others, maybe not of the human type. Although often overlooked the lowly Sparrow is a very beautiful bird with many different types in its large family. They photograph well and have a variety of beautiful markings and colors.

Yah, the blog is now up! The first feature is about shooting in the rain (if interested, click on the 'Feature' item to the right on the blog). Wishing everyone a great Friday!!!
Nur gut drei Jahre nach Baubeginn des Beisheim Centers am Potsdamer Platz wurden die Bauarbeiten im Januar 2004 planmäßig beendet. Bei der Errichtung dieses ebenso exklusiven wie modernen Gebäudeensembles entstand auch ein neuer innerstädtischer Platz – der Inge-Beisheim-Platz.
Wahrzeichen des Inge-Beisheim-Platzes ist die von dem israelischen Künstler Gidon Graetz geschaffene Skulptur „Phoenix“, ein Geschenk der Otto-Beisheim- Stiftung an die Stadt Berlin. Mit ihrem Namen erinnert sie an die Entstehung des neuen Potsdamer Platzes, der wie „Phoenix aus der Asche“ auferstanden ist.
Just over three years after construction began on the Beisheim Center at Potsdamer Platz, construction was completed on schedule in January 2004. During the construction of this exclusive and modern building ensemble, a new inner-city square was created - the Inge-Beisheim-Platz.
The landmark of the Inge-Beisheim-Platz is the sculpture "Phoenix" created by the Israeli artist Gidon Graetz, a gift from the Otto Beisheim Foundation to the city of Berlin. Its name is a reminder of the creation of the new Potsdamer Platz, which has risen like "Phoenix from the ashes".
I enjoy shooting at night, and in the rain. Dark and wet are typically two of the conditions that most photographers either dread or, at the very least, would consider less than 'ideal' conditions in which to take a photo. I guess I lack common sense. :)
The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier and not as slim as the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. For such a small bird it has a remarkably loud voice.
It is the most common UK breeding bird, although it suffers declines during prolonged, severely cold winters. What they eat:
Insects and spiders (Courtesy RSPB).
