Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

Pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true

The Three Rondavels on Mpumalanga’s Panorama Route give a spectacular view over the Blyde River Canyon.
Shaped like traditional African beehive huts, the Three Rondavels form three huge pinnacles of rock rising above the canyon below.
The Three Rondavels are three round mountain tops with slightly pointed tops, very similar to the traditional round or oval African homesteads made with local materials called rondavels. Once known as The chief and his three wives – the flat-topped peak represented Mapjaneng, famous for opposing invading Swazis in a memorable battle is on the right, whilst the rondavels are three of his more troublesome wives – Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maseroto.

Three different green textures of rice paddy, Himekawa Dam No.2 and the cliff of the Himekawa river. This photo was taken in the northern part of Hakuba village. Aoni settlement, which is famous for the view of rice terrace and Kita Alps, is on the cliff in the photo a few km from there.
It is reported that the dam was much deeper and larger when it was completed in 1935. It was quickly filled with sediments from Hakuba mountains and is now too shallow to function as a dam.
There are several such dams and hydropower plants along the Princess river to produce some electricity.
On the other hand in Itoigawa 50 km downstream on the Japan Sea coast, beaches got eroded and its coastline is now protected with tetrapods to save residential areas.
The princess was born beautiful but she has undergone too many plastic surgeries to spoil her beauty.
After three days in Amsterdam, we wanted to see the countryside of Holland. We found a nice excursion: Zannsee Schans, Volendam, the island of Marken, and a full afternoon at the fantastic Keukenhof park, which we wabsolutely wanted to see in the famous splendor of its tulips. I can already say that we were amazed.
Here we arrive at Zannsee Schanns, with a spectacular view. It's a small village with a lot of preserved vintage mills.

Trois moulins
Après trois jours à Amsterdam, on a eu envie de voir la campagne de Hollande. On a trouvé une belle excursion : Zannsee Schans, Volendam, l'ile de Marken, et une après-midi complète au fantastique parc de Keukenhof qu'on voulait absolument voir dans la splendeur renommée de ses tulipes. Je peux déjà dire qu'on a été émerveillés.
Ici, on arrive à Zannsee Schanns, avec une vue spectaculaire. C'est un petit village avec plein de moulins préservés d'époque.

The definition of three, according to the dictionary:
~one more than two~
If only more of life were that simple!
This picture for me fits the old song......I don't know why I love you like I do, I just do. Not worried about the technique, It makes me feel happy!
The Three Sisters in Canmore, the town’s most recognizable peaks and some of the most unique in Canadian Rockies. The Three Sisters are never getting old 😉. The names of the Three Sisters are individually known as Big Sister, Middle Sister, and Little Sister – or Faith, Hope, and Charity respectively. Went there twice, first time to check the location around sunset time, second time for sunrise, it was very dark in the early morning to walk there before sunrise… Head lights and bells were recommended. Several people arrived one after another, it was freezing cold, stayed for over two hours, from blue hour to golden hour… Closely contacted with three sisters. 😊
Plaza del Pilar in Zaragoza (Spain) is the largest pedestrian square in Europe and is a Marian pilgrimage site and a gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Looking over the plaza is a sculptural monument dedicated to Francisco de Goya, the city’s most famous painter. The whole monument consists of a simple cylindricalcenotaph of the painter himself with stone tablets alluding to both him and his daughter-in-law's family.
On the western side, you’ll find the Fountain of Hispanidad. This consists of a ramp with water flowing down it and a pond, which together, from above, take the shape of Latin America. A further three marble blocks represent Columbus’ ships.
As well as the Basílica del Pilar, there are other buildings which embellish and enhance this wonderful plaza. These include the Cathedral of El Salvador , La Seo which rises up on the eastern side of the plaza, The Lonja de Mercaderes , a Renaissance-style building built from brick with similar architecture to the palaces.
The town hall was built in the second half of the 20 th century in keeping with the style and materials of the rest of the buildings. The two sculptures on either side of the main entrance will particularly grab your attention. They’re the work of Aragonese sculptor Pablo Serrano and represent Saint Valerius (the city’s patron saint) and a guardian angel.
In the small square behind the Fountain of Hispanidad, you’ll find the church of San Juan de los Panetes, with its distinctive leaning tower. With the plaza’s overall sense of harmony and the slenderness of the buildings surrounding it, it’s no surprise that the square is known as “the living room of the city”.
"If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe." - Nicola Tesla.
In reference to the sacred geometry, that all things return in numerological degrees to 3 6 or 9. it also said that, "The numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 represent the physical world while the 3 6 9 represent the divine realm of the physical world." Which in accordance to how one receives, perceives and transmits the universe can yield the translation of the same, but numbers are in infinite and so are we!
This bridge has been a noticeable feature on many of my walkabouts in Berlin, on this particular day it on my route. I always pick a destination and head straight to it, as the crow flies so to speak, then zigzag between locations of photos toward the route back home. This bridge was one of those moments. This way I have a definitive photographic goal which is then also spliced with a "come what may" approach to my homeward direction. Thus hybridising a mental target with an open mind.
I hope everyone has a Happy Easter and all are well, so as always, thank you! :)
