The system that this picture represents is the Earth's ecosystem. This photo was taken in a large field of Black-eyed Susans. When most people walk through this field, they only see flowers. However, if you look and listen, you will find life everywhere. There are bees, wasps, grasshoppers, leaf hoppers, butterflies, frogs, lizards, birds, and even small mammals. Each has its own purpose. This is a thread-waisted wasp. Turns out wasps are very important pollinators. You can see the pollen on his mouth and legs that prove he has been on his job, For 125 in 2025 #100 System.
I've posted others from this area in the past. But what attracted me to this scene is the contrast provided by the reflected sunlight on the right side of the image. As opposed to the uniformity of the previous images. You can let me know what you think.
The Tungnaa braided river system in the Icelandic highlands creates beautiful abstract patterns in the mud when viewed from the air. Sunlight reflected from the water and wet mud helps create interesting contrasts throughout the landscape. The river derives its color from the glacial silt it picks up as it flows from the Vatnajokull ice cap toward the ocean.

This irrigation system(i think this is old style) was taken at the country side same day i took the hay bale shots~
When i was taking this photo, there was a car driving toward me, then he stopped the car infront of me and asking me with his smile what am i doing there~ He probably saw me from his house (his house just across the field) and drove there to see whether i was there tried to steal his irrigation system or not~~:-P
A SPARKLING SALT-WATER LAGOON
Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon is a spectacular five-acre salt-water lagoon featuring a state-of-the-art water circulation system.
Named after Hawaii's legendary Ambassador of Aloha – surfer and Olympic swimming champion, Duke Paoa Kahanamoku – the sparkling lagoon is the perfect place to lounge on a beach chair, take a tranquil swim, or while away the hour beneath swaying palm trees.
This man-made lagoon is located in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oʻahu near the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor and Fort DeRussy Military Reservation and boasts spectacular views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean.
It was developed back in the 1950's along with Henry J. Kaiser's Hilton Hawaiian Village. Henry J. Kaiser was a ship building and steel industrialist who amassed his multi-billion dollar empire during World War II.

I shot some pictures of the Selfridges Store building in Birmingham (UK) a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't get any great shots so I decided to make some kind of a landscape out of it, and this is what I ended up with.

Rail Express Sysytems liveried class 86/2 locomotive 86243 along with a Propelling Control Vehicle (PCV), head south past Heamies Farm, situated just north of Norton Bridge on the WCML.
Propelling Control Vehicle's (PCV) are former BR Eastleigh 1955 built Great Eastern Main Line Class 307 driving trailer cars, of which 42 were converted at Hunslet-Barclay in Kilmarnock between 1994 to 1996, so this very smart looking PCV could be one of the last converted on delivery.

This artist's concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance. One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, is about 30 AU.
Informally, the term "solar system" is often used to mean the space out to the last planet. Scientific consensus, however, says the solar system goes out to the Oort Cloud, the source of the comets that swing by our sun on long time scales. Beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, the gravity of other stars begins to dominate that of the sun.
The inner edge of the main part of the Oort Cloud could be as close as 1,000 AU from our sun. The outer edge is estimated to be around 100,000 AU.
NASA's Voyager 1, humankind's most distant spacecraft, is around 125 AU. Scientists believe it entered interstellar space, or the space between stars, on Aug. 25, 2012. Much of interstellar space is actually inside our solar system. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun. AC +79 3888 is actually traveling faster toward Voyager 1 than the spacecraft is traveling toward it.
The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The Voyager missions are a part of NASA's Heliophysics System Observatory, sponsored by the Heliophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

The Vancouver downtown from the highest structure of the city. There were dark clouds approaching that day and I was keen to see the cityscape at sunset. A bit disappointed I still continued to head up the building. The guide at the location however told me how people misjudge the cloudy weather and that it covers up the sunset. She told me to continue and I will be left impressed. She was right. The view with all the nature's elements was amazing. The clouds and the sunset peeking through them illuminated the sky and the city. I was not carrying the tripod. I had to capture the scene at a high ISO which created noise in the output. Nevertheless the results were pretty satisfying #Urbanscape #Canon

Severe/Tornado Warned Storm between Liberty - Tuxford SK Canada
Insane storm structure as I stood near North Grove looking West
This day’s forecasting was a challenge! I was seeing a couple different options. One being Weyburn and South (which ended up having a nice storm and dropped a Tornado) and another setup around Raymore. I chose Raymore region and away I went.
Sat in crazy muggy 30+ Degree heat while waiting, and waiting and waiting.
Boundaries forming all over, including my spot! Line of clouds would form and then die off. Form and then die off, over and over again.
Nothing was happening.
The Storms South of Weyburn began to fire up. My side .... still nothing.
Finally, around 5 pm North of Lucky Lake (to my West) a storm began to form on Radar. I waiting to see what direction it was taking and also was cautious of “jumping the gun” aka heading to the storm and missing a storm at my spot.
I let it run a few radar scans and then away I went!
Around 6:30 pm it was looking insane on radar as I was right around Liberty trying to get more South as it was moving straight East at me, and it sucks trying to get storm photos when you are cored in hail and rain and can’t see anything haha.
7 pm, I was heading towards Craik as photos on twitter began to pop up of the beautiful storm structure happening between Grainland, Central Butte &Tugaske (also showing rotation on radar).
7:15 pm I was still working my way South while also trying NOT to get cored in this system as I made my way towards Chamberlain.
7:37 pm I was near North Grove looking West at some INSANE storm structure !!!!
After enjoying that for some time, blasted further South to not get stuck within the core.
I headed towards Tuxford where around 8 pm I found myself in front on an angry lowering with my anemometer clocking wind speeds from 110 - 121 km !!!!
From there, I was too far back to ever catch up to the storm that now is just moving, so sat back and watched the beautiful system from the back end as it made it’s way East towards Manitoba.
What a hell of a beautiful chase day!!!

One of my favourite places in Prague, I thought I'd missed the chance to photograph this room as they closed up at 12 but it was only for an hour. Enough time to sample the monastery's on-site micro brewery selling very nice unpasteurised amber beer. The staff were also very patient with me whilst taking this shot with my tripod and lots of other visitors! You must buy a photography licence to take pictures in the monastery; however, it was only a small sum. Well worth it to work with such a location. There's also a guided tour that takes you into the rooms that aren't open to the public but it must be booked a few days in advance and subject to availability.
The Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians at Strahov is one of the oldest monasteries of the Premonstratensian Order in the world. It has been a working monastery practically ever since it was founded in 1142. Fire, the Hussite Wars, religious wars, and the Communists all failed to shut down this institution. Even when the members of the monastery were unable to live within its walls, they gathered wherever they could and nurtured the spirit of their House until they were able to return to the monastery complex.
The Theological Hall was built under Abbot Jeroným Hirnhaim (1671-1679). The architect was a Prague burgher of Italian origin, Giovanni Domennico Orsi, whose Italian school is evident in the stucco cartouches. The Baroque concept of the library is demonstrated by the shelves; unlike the Romanesque treasury system or the Gothic desk system, the books were stored upright. Above the shelves, there are gilded wooded carved decorations with wooden cartouches. This was a rudimentary library aid, because the pictures in the wooden cartouches and their titles specified the type of literature stored on the shelves. At this time (1672) Library Rules were compiled by Abbot Hirnhaim.
Theological Hall 1 Fifty years later, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the translation of St Norbert's relics (1727), the hall was extended by several metres. It was then decorated with frescoes by the Strahov Premonstratensian and painter Siard Nosecký. Symbolically, and based on quotations from the Bible (mainly Proverbs) and in part from the philosophical tracts of the hall's founder, Abbot Hirnhaim, he presented the true wisdom we acquire through piety, fear of God. In his tracts, Hirnhaim opposed scholasticism and its racionalistic understanding of the world and truth, which he believed to be false or proud wisdom. He wanted to gain an understanding of the world through true humble piety. A person enlightened by faith, however, must build on knowledge and education. The library hosts several frescoes as a symbol of this principle. Above the forged iron gates on the other side of the library there is a small legend: INITIUM SAPIENTIAE TIMOR DOMINI - the beginning of wisdom is fear of God. It remains a paradox that the philosophical works of the library's founder were put on the index of forbidden books and were therefore placed in special locked cabinets above both the hall doors; Hirnhaim himself had these cabinets installed. As time passed, publication of his works was permitted, and they became the inspiration for Siard Nosecký. A portrait of Jeroným Hirnhaim hangs by the first window, Nosecký's self-portrait by the second.
Theological Hall 2 The left-hand side of the hall is dominated by a Late-Gothic wooden statue of St John the Evangelist. The link between this statue and the library is his small pouch, held by St John in his left hand. This pouch called girdle-book, although frequently depicted in manuscripts, has only been preserved in several cases, mainly because of the purpose it served - as a travel bag. It was either destroyed during journeys or cut off on inclusion in the book collection. On the right-hand side, there is a 'compilation wheel', commissioned by the library in 1678 and used to compile texts. The scribe had the various sources he was using distributed over the shelves of the wheel. The planet mechanism means that when turned, its shelves were kept at the same angle so the books are not liable to fall.
A number of globes (both astronomical and terrestrial) line both sides of the Theological Hall. Some of them come from the workshop of the Rotterdam-based family Blaeu, which specialized in manufacturing maps, atlases, and globes over several generations in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Over 18,000 volumes are stored in the Theological Hall. The name of the hall comes from the content of these works. The northern wall contains nothing but different editions of the Bible or parts of the Bible in many languages.
In 1993 and 1994, the interior was restored; the shelves were completely dismantled and the wood was treated. At the end of the 1980s, the original red paint was discovered under the later blue-grey paint, and this red was used in the restoration as the oldest layer. The parquets from the 20th century were replaced with a historically and aesthetically more accurate copy of the original Baroque flooring. The original visitors' route went through all the main areas of the library. After long-term readings were analyzed, the tour was adjusted to the current version, as the humidity in the halls fluctuated so much during the day that the good condition of the frescoes and book bindings was in jeopardy.
The Strahov Monastic Brewery was first founded by King Vladislav II in 1142.
