Local legend suggests that this bridge was started by Bishop Henry Cheyne in the late 13th or early 14th century and completed by Robert the Bruce. Whilst this may or may not be true, historical documents show that the bridge we see today was the result of rebuilding work in three phases in the early 17th century.

This was the main crossing on the Don leading to the north from Aberdeen and vice versa prior to the construction of the adjacent Bridge of Don in 1831. Today the Brig o’ Balgownie is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

As the name suggests, the Jamaican Woodpecker is one of the 28 endemic birds on the Caribbean island and is common and widespread. This male is 24cm (10in) long and favours forests, woodlands and gardens from sea level to the mountains.

This bird was seen on Ecclesdown Road, a well-known birding spot in eastern Portland, which passes through the foothills of the John Crow Mountains.

el paso del tiempo, casa abandonada en Uglich, Rusia.

Úglich es una ciudad del óblast de Yaroslavl, en Rusia, siendo el centro administrativo del rayón de Úglich. Se encuentra sobre el Volga, poco antes de que deje el embalse de Ríbinsk, a 92 km al noroeste de Yaroslavl.

La cascata si trova nei pressi del confine del territorio comunale di Santu Lussurgiu, al cui abitato è più vicino geograficamente. Per accedere alla cascata principale occorre scendere in una lunga scalinata immersa in un bosco rigoglioso, sinchè si arriva ad un luogo fiabesco. Per visitare il primo salto, invece, occorre procedere su un sentiero che si snoda a mezza costa senza particolari asperità. L’ enorme incendio appiccato a fine luglio 2021, che ha interessato una vasta porzione boschiva del centro Sardegna, purtroppo ha irrimediabilmente alterato questo suggestivo palcoscenico naturale.

La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.

Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio

de los tímidos pasos del día

aventurándose en su costumbre

de ruidos ascendentes

La piel se recupera y va asumiendo

el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga

su lujo de colores y relieves

el mar azul, el avaro espejo

en que se mira el cielo soleado

y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas

sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.

Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días

en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida

The light spawns its silver light over the sea.

Pacified, the waves magnify the silence

of the feeble steps of the day

venturing into their habit

of increasing noises.

The skin gets over and is assuming

the splendor of the sun which already lavishes

its luxury of colors and reliefs,

the blue sea, the greedy mirror

in which the sunny sky watches itself

and in its swinging the sound of the waves

suggests a long trip to memory.

Each day renews its memory, old days

in the time unit which is the life.

The Little Owl is not a native species, having been introduced to Britain in the 1870s, but it appears to have occupied a vacant niche without having any detrimental impact on other species. Numbers and breeding distribution increased gradually, reaching an estimated breeding population of between 4,000 and 8,500 pairs at the time of Project Barn Owl. The current distribution extends across England, north to the Scottish borders and west into Wales, where it is largely confined to Anglesey and to eastern parts of the country. There have been very few records from Ireland.

Pairs remain on their breeding territories throughout the year, with territorial calling evident during autumn – when young birds are searching for breeding territories – and again during spring. Small cavities are favoured for breeding, these often located within hedgerow trees or the walls of old agricultural buildings. Favoured nesting chambers tend to be located some distance from the cavity entrance and with little daylight reaching them. The male will often perch close to the nest cavity while his mate is incubating her clutch of eggs.

Little Owls often hunt from a perch, taking small mammals and large invertebrates, including earthworms, cockchafers and other beetles. There is evidence to suggest that breeding success is linked to the availability of small mammals, though some pairs evidently do well on other prey; a pair breeding on the island of Skomer, for example, took a large number of Storm Petrels (Courtesy BTO).

"La Scala dei Turchi è una falesia viva costituita da uno sperone di marna bianca prominente sul mare, le cui falde degradanti a strato conferiscono un aspetto molto suggestivo, accentuato, a sua volta, dai forti contrasti cromatici se si pensa all'azzurro del mare e del cielo contrapposto al bianco accecante della roccia.

La forma che questo monumento della natura assume è quella per l'appunto di una scalinata, dove secondo la leggenda, durante le invasioni moresche che imperversarono nel '500, i turchi (così erroneamente chiamati) approdarono nel territorio dell'odierna Realmonte inerpicandosi sulle stratificazioni di questa falesia."

Lido Rossello è la località marittima di Realmonte da cui dista circa 1,8 km. Ubicato proprio nella Baia di Capo Rossello il piccolo centro abitato si trova inserito in un contesto ambientale molto suggestivo: a nord infatti è chiuso dall'arco della Costabianca, ad ovest da Capo Rossello e ad est dalla continuazione dell'arco costiero che finisce con lo sfondo di Scala dei Turchi, a sud invece si apre sul mare con una spiaggia di modeste dimensioni ma molto composta e raccolta.

This is the main staircase in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) which is part of the White House complex in Washington, D.C.

It was built between 1871 and 1888, on the site of the original 1800 War/State/Navy Building and the White House stables, in the French Second Empire style. As its first name suggests, it was initially built to house three departments. While the building's elaborate style received substantial criticism at first, it has since been designated as a National Historic Landmark. It was for years the world's largest office building, with 566 rooms and about 10 acres (40,000 m2) of floor space. Most White House staff have their offices in the EEOB.–from Wikipedia

Thraupis palmarum (Palm Tanager / Tángara palmera)

The Palm Tanager is one of the most widespread and familiar birds of the neotropics, from Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. They are common at forest borders, but also occur in the canopy of the interior of forest. As the name suggests, Palm Tanagers often are associated with palm trees, but by no means are they restricted to living in palms.

St Andrew’s is one of Norfolk’s many round tower churches. The county contains three quarters of those still standing in Britain

The tower - of the usual local flint and mortar construction and thought to be 11th Century Saxon - is an enigma because it is quite separate from the rest of the building.

A clearly visible filled in arch on the tower's east side suggests that a nave was once attached there but the reasons for that church’s subsequent demise are unknown. Was it actually finished? If not why? Was the current church contemporary - Elsewhere in Norfolk two churches are so close that they touch.

*There is also a Great Snoring which is actually the smaller village. ‘Snoring' derives’ from someone named Snear rather than any stentorian prowess of the locals..

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a yellow day at Color my world Daily and I suggest we celebrate with a yellow macro picture. By doing so, not only I get to show you my « old » picture but also I will have more time on working on my photo book for 2021. Each year, we do a photobook with pictures from families events, gatherings, holidays etc. Of course during pandemic my book focuses on our immediate family but still I have a ton of pictures I have to sort and edit. Since I’m very lazy and disorganized, I’m very last minute and I have max until the middle of this month if I want to get my book in time for Christmas (it is a gift for my parents, my in-laws and my sister…) and get a November discount at Blurb… So lets just hope you will like my picture and wish me luck in sorting my 6500 pictures (it isn’t a joke !!! ) of very ordinary pandemic family activities, Iike baking cookies, racking the leaves , or folding the laundry with my sons… I have a feeling the year edition of our photobook will be a success !

See you later ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!

ai piedi dell‘imponente abbazia, si snoda il piccolo borgo … da qui parte un camminamento sulle mura …

a discapito dei saliscendi e della fatica lo spettacolo che ci aspetta è suggestivo : un tripudio di antiche case normanne, di viottoli e di scalini , tanti scalini …

e su e giù … mentre i gabbiani ad ali spiegate, fieri signori del luogo e padroni del cielo ,. si avvicinano paurosamente , volteggiano sopra le nostre teste per poi tuffarsi in basso lanciando grida stridule in una danza affascinante …

tutt’intorno al monte una inquietante palude di sabbia , all’orizzonte il verde dei prati e degli alberi …

Said to be the most colorful lake on the AlCan Highway. Must agree, it was a brilliant teal green, especially when the sun broke thru the clouds.

I liked the dual reflections, skies and land.

"The jade green color of the lake is attributed to the presence of copper oxide leached from the bedrock underneath. Its name is derived from the Kaska language in which "muncho" translates as "big water."

Some have suggested it was named by camping hippies.....who got hungry......

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!

As what passes for night in Greenland's high Arctic in late spring, a thin film of ice which in the morning would be adjoined to the pack ice was forming with a unique design.

I suggest you enlarge the foto to observe its details.

Cape Otway Lighthouse, Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia. At the southern tip of the continent guiding the ships into safe passage to the city of Melbourne ca. 100 kms (62 miles) away. It was established in 1848 on these towering sea cliffs 90 metres above where Bass Straight (between the Australian mainland and the island Australian state of Tasmania) and the Southern Ocean merge (which goes on down to the Antarctica).

The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye. The vivid blues and greens of the pools suggest an unnatural origin. They are a popular place for wild swimmers.

The habitat of the Fairy Pools hosts a variety of animals, such as red deer, rabbits, and sheep. The area is also host to a large number of birds. Large flocks of crows, ravens, and gulls are present in the area, as well as such smaller birds as meadow pipits, turnstones, common ringed plovers, grey herons, dunlins, and curlews. The physical landscape is predominately rocky, with some boggy areas here and there. The water in the area is typically cold.

The Fairy Pools are a popular location for walkers. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Fairy Pools from the Glen Brittle car park.

Percorrendo la suggestiva strada provinciale 17 si può ammirare la bellissima costa sud-orientale dell’isola. Superata la frazione sinnaese turistica di Solanas (provenendo da Cagliari), la strada inizia a salire considerevolmente attraverso alcuni tornanti. Giunti alla sommità di un piccolo rilievo, sulla destra, si trova un’ampia piazzola di sosta sterrata che si erge sul mare. Percorrendo una stradina sterrata che si dirige a sud è possibile visitare la torre di Capo Boi, edificata nel 1591. Se si prosegue sulla suddetta stradina si può tornare al punto di partenza (con un percorso ad anello) transitando nel versante occidentale del rilievo noto come monte Turri, da cui si può ammirare la sottostante spiaggia di Solanas.

As the name suggests, this tall, white heron is considerably larger than the similar little egret. Once a rare visitor to the UK, sightings have become more common over the last few decades, with several pairs now breeding.

Compared to the now familiar little egret, the great white egret is enormous, almost as large as a grey heron. A few decades ago, records of great white egret were less than annual, but many now winter in the UK and a few pairs even nest here. Visiting birds can be found in all kinds of wetland habitats, even farmland ditches! They stand in shallow water, waiting for fish, insects and amphibians to approach, then spear them with their dagger-like bill.

Came across this unexpected rarety at Kidwelly & probably startled it, but being a large, slow flying bird was able to get a few shots of it as it took off

Ruderi di Poggioreale

Nel territorio di Poggioreale si ritiene essersi svolta nel 339 a.C. la Battaglia del Crimiso, forse proprio in prossimità del luogo dove è stata ricostruita la nuova città, poco distante dal punto di confluenza dei due rami del Belice.

Il nome Poggioreale viene dal latino podus regalis (ovvero "Poggio del Re").

Il paese fu fondato come centro agricolo nel 1642 dal marchese di Gibellina, Francesco Morso, che nel 1643 ebbe il titolo di principe di Poggioreale.

Nel 1968 ci fu la violenta scossa che colpì la Valle del Belice distruggendo la città. Restano i ruderi che, ancora oggi, testimoniano la vita prima del 1968.

Dopo il terremoto si decise di non restaurare questi ruderi ritenendo il loro ripristino antieconomico e potenzialmente pericoloso. Il paese venne ricostruito alcuni chilometri più a valle, con strutture moderne e avveniristiche (per l'epoca).

Poggioreale "nuova"

Poggioreale (Puggiuriali in siciliano) è un comune italiano di 1482 abitanti della provincia di Trapani in Sicilia. Il paese dista 67 km da Trapani, 61 km da Palermo, 120 km da Agrigento.

Sorge su un territorio collinare (a circa 150 m sopra il livello del mare) nella Valle del Belice, vicino al fiume omonimo. Ha una superficie di 37 km² e una densità di 46 ab./km². Non si articola in frazioni.

As its name suggests, the Cryptic Wood White butterfly is very difficult to distinguish from the Wood White. This species only occurs in Ireland, where it is widespread. It was discovered to be different from the Wood White in 2001 and, more recently, its identification was changed again to this new name. The Wood White is very similar, but seems to be restricted to the Burren region in Ireland.

This example of Cryptic Wood White was one of many seen along the banks of the River Barrow in County Kilkenny.

Oh no, tonight I find it hard to swallow

The bed is made and I feel hollow

My friends suggest that I should take it slow

I took it slow

I sweat it out, I'm not okay, I'm shaking on the floor

I lay awake and I count the days and I wait beside the door

For love, I only want you next to me

Sweet love, how long before you hurt for me?

Hurt for me, do you hurt for me?

Blackout the night before inside of my mouth

Too much it's what I like to do now

My mind explodes and I can't make it out

I'm falling down

I see your face in blurry shades and I reach out for your hand

All your ways I can't explain but I want to understand

My love, I only want you next to me

Sweet love, how long before you hurt for me?

Hurt for me, do you hurt for me?

I sedate my mind with hope of your return

Just enough to weigh me down

I can fake my heart and I love to watch it burn

But it knows you ain't around

My love, I only want you next to me

Sweet love, how long before you hurt for me?

Hurt for me, will you hurt for me?

walking by a roadside garden last summer ....l paused for a moment to admire this red zinnia ....and the pretty flower attracted another admirer as well :-)

A standout of the London skyline is the Shard, a 95 storey building that as the name suggest looks like a ‘shard of glass’. This structure is so imposing that I was able to capture the top of it as we travelled east on the Thames River into the wharf district. Ironically Metropolitan Wharf is on the north bank of the Thames and the Shard is on the south bank. I had to look at a map to put this into perspective for myself. I love the contrast between these old industrial buildings from the 1800s with this piece of modern architecture.

The Painted bunting is a small brightly-colored member of the cardinal family. The males are brightly colored with blue, green, red and yellow plumage. Females and juveniles are bright green with pale rings around their eyes. The male is considered by many to be North America's most beautiful bird, and they are one of the most popular visitors to bird feeders. Painted buntings are one of the most spectacularly colored and visually impressive birds in the United States and are the only U.S. bird with a blue head along with red underparts.

Painted Buntings are still fairly common, but populations have been dropping for several decades. The North American Breeding Bird Survey estimated a decline of 62% between 1966 and 1995, but the 1966-2014 survey does not find significant decreases, suggesting that populations may have stabilized, or at least the decline has slowed, since 1995. Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 13 million, with 80% spending at least part of the year in the U.S., and 51% in Mexico. The species rates a 12 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score, and is not on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List. Painted Bunting is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.

Found this male in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.

it seems very likely that St Anthony's Chapel was closely associated with Holyrood Abbey, which stood just a few hundred yards away to the north-west. The two were linked by a well-made stone track (now heavily worn) with prominent kerbstones that can in places still be seen, and about three quarters of the way along this track up to the chapel is the spring and carved stone bowl known as St Anthony's Well.

It's tempting to think of St Anthony's Chapel as an outlying chapel for Holyrood Abbey, perhaps constructed as a means of getting pilgrims out from under the feet of the monks in the abbey. It has also been suggested that the chapel served as a sort of religious beacon, designed to be clearly visible to sea-borne pilgrims coming to Holyrood Abbey as they sailed up the River Forth.

As for dating, there are references to a grant paid for repairs to St Anthony's Chapel by the Pope in 1426, suggesting the building could date back into the 1300s or beyond. Details of its demise are equally unclear, but presumably, like Holyrood Abbey itself, St Anthony's Chapel fell into disuse and disrepair after the Reformation in 1560.

Today, all that remains of the chapel are parts of the north wall plus remnants of another building a little to the south-west, which has sometimes been called a hermitage but was probably just a store room. The remaining chapel wall shows signs of vaulting, and it is thought that when complete the building would have comprised a small three-bay chapel, with a three-storey tower at its west end. This odd shape, almost as tall as it was long, supports the idea that the chapel was designed as much to ensure distant visibility as to accommodate worshippers.

This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight it has long, rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight undulation.

Breeding Bird Survey data suggest that little owl numbers are declining, with the UK population estimated to be down by 24 per cent between 1995 and 2008.What they eat: Small mammals and birds, beetles and worms. (Courtesy RSPB).

I liked the setting of this group of buildings on the edge of Austnesfiord just north of Svolvar in the Lofoten Islands. I think the shot was taken on the day of the summer Solstice

انا ملكتك وانا فقدتك

ليتني لمن عرفتك ماتركتك

لما عيوني عانقوك

في غمضه وحده ضيعوك

اسال زماني والمكان

واجمع سواليف الحنان

Not suggesting for a moment that this is postcard quality but I've been away from Flickr for a while and wanted to let you know that my shutter finger is still operational.

This shot was taken from a recent overnight trip to Oban on the west coast of Scotland. The island of Kerrera can just be seen on the left, the small Maiden Island is on the right, and the cloud covered mountains of Mull are in the far distance behind the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry.

As its name suggests, redshanks' most distinctive features are their bright orange-red legs. They have a medium-length bill with an orange base to match, brown speckled back and wings and paler belly.

St Mary's sits next to the coastal salt marshes. Domesday Book mentions it and a substantial part of the existing church dates to those times - the 11th Century.

The nave pictured here was widened in a 15C makeover. The door leads to the south porch added then. The curtained archway leads into the bell tower. The pews are probably a 19th Century addition.

Externally, the flint tower's tapering base is probably Saxon and is topped by a cylindrical Norman construction suggesting that it was completed after the Norman Conquest. St Mary's great attraction is its quaint Medieval 'spirelet' of lead coated timber frame. Outside view of tower and 'spirelet'

Brewer’s Blackbirds are social birds that nest in colonies of up to 100 birds. The first females to arrive choose a nest site to suit them, and later arrivals follow suit. Eggs are extremely variable in color and pattern. Some studies suggest the variability helps the eggs match the background pattern of the nest, helping to camouflage them.

Broadway Tower is a "folly" on Broadway Hill, near the large village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire and was constructed at the second-highest point of the Cotswolds. In architecture, a "folly" is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose. The tower itself stands 65 feet (20 metres) high.

This "Saxon" tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798–1799. (Wiki)

Fosso Bianco , Terme libere di Bagni San Filippo

Le acque temali a Bagni San Filippo hanno creato un paesaggio magico di bianche formazioni calcaree, cascatelle e piccole vasche di acqua calda nel mezzo di un verde bosco rigoglioso.

Le prime pozze e le prime formazioni calcaree sono poco distanti mentre per vedere la famosa cascata e fare il bagno nelle bianche acque sulfuree si deve andare oltre. Attraverso un suggestivo percorso pedonale immerso nel verde della boscaglia si arriva alla cascata Balena Bianca, accompagnati dal fruscio dell'acqua.

As their name suggests, they have a ring of white or silvery feathers in a ring around their eyes.

Here in southern Queensland, we are lucky enough to have southern Silvereyes visiting for the winter.

Found from down in Tasmania all the way up-to North Queensland. In the south of their range, many Silvereyes move north each autumn, and move back south in late winter to breed. Though not all populations of Silvereyes migrate—some stay in Tasmania all year round.

Migrating Silvereyes mainly travel at night when it is harder for predators to spot them.

My purpose for this shot was to make it look like a drone picture, and I think I went pretty close to it!

La suggestiva scogliera si trova nella parte nord-occidentale dell’isola di Sant’Antioco a pochi km a sud-ovest dell’abitato di Calasetta. Per accedere è possibile avvalersi di una panoramica strada asfaltata costiera e poi fare un centinaio di metri a piedi in una stradina lastricata che si diparte da uno spazioso parcheggio sterrato che d’estate è a pagamento. La costa risulta particolarmente esposta ai moti ondosi alimentati dal libeccio e, in misura inferiore, dal maestrale, come è testimoniato da questa foto.

This is a photo of the intense colours of sunset photographed through some trees while intentionally moving the camera. I love how the diffuse darker toned shapes suggest a pareidolia narrative - a scene of a heroic military commander such as Alexander the Great rallying his army during battle. The composition of the image is divided in half by a balanced light/dark polarity or dualism.
