Chestnut-sided Warbler
This was one of my goals. To find and shoot a nice male in breeding plumage. He was the third goal of an epic day at Delaware State Forest, Pike County PA.
Also a painting on a large concrete block, found at the Honigcomplex in my hometown Nijmegen.
For some reason there is in hole in these blocks, perhaps an easier way to transport them? But anyway, this artist (Dragon?) used it to create a third eye.
Happy Wall Wednesday ;-))
I took this shot circa 1974 with the Pentax K1000 film camera. This photo was scanned from a print. These third graders are hard at work creating three dimensional clay maps of continents and ocean floors as part of a curriculum I helped create and develop.
If a UFO takes you off planet earth in 2021, is it kidnapping or ransom?

Earlier I posted shots of attempts to reach the top of Barden in Senja. The first attempt failed when rain and hail, and bad visibility forced me to go back (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/54821190337/in/datepo...), and the second attempt stranded because clouds were packing and the sun was obscured, with the end results probably showing not the pictures that I wanted to have (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/54885638309/in/datepo...).
4 days later they predicted good weather! In the early morning there would be clouds and mist, but from ca. 11.30 the sky would open up, and around 1300 it would completely open up!
So up I went again over that slippery and very muddy path, now being accustomed to the idea of getting wet shoes, socks and feet.
Alas! Although from this point I still climbed some 100 meters (and got again a little bit further up the Barden track), I ended up in the mist, and no panorama vista to be seen. But I was still optimistic and sat down, waiting for the glorious moment of the first stretch of blue sky appearing.
1,5 hours later it didn't happen, and there were no signs of it to happen, so there I went again, down that muddy and slippery path. And yes, my feet were still very wet. And long after I was down (around 1830), the miracle finally happened, the sky opening up.
Despite the somewhat disappointing result, I made some nice shots, this is one of them.

This is Skaga stave church. It is the third stave church at this place - and it dates to 2001.
The original, dated to the 12th century, was built close to an old sacred well from (possibly) pagan times. There are a lot of legends surrounding this little church, more than perhaps trustworthy history, including how the founder of the church (a woman named Skaga) was saved as an infant by a dog when her father wanted her dead and placed her in the woods, and that the church fell out of use after the Black Death and the area was abandoned - that is quite possible, but the legend continues that the church was re-discovered 'several hundred years later'. I wonder how much you would find of a abandoned wooden building several centuries later... Be that as it may, the church stood there until 1826 when it was pulled down. A copy of the medieval church was built in 1957–58 and inaugurated in 1960. But the church burnt down in 2000. Just a year later a third incarnation of the church, the one still present, was opened to the public. (Well, it is open if you come at the right time - when we passed by the place was closed.)
The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, on Old Town Square. The clock is located on the south wall of the town hall. The clock is said to have been built by master clockmaker Hanus on 9 October 1410. Legend has it that Hanus had his eyes gouged out to prevent him from reproducing his masterpiece elsewhere. The clock comes to life every hour until 9 p.m.
Third enclosure with gallery. It is probably a restored part of the archaeological site. Ta Prohm is surrounded by five concentric enclosures.
Plan of Ta Prohm is similar to Banteay Kdei but much larger and complicated. It was founded in 1186, one year later than Banteay Kdei, by Jayavarman VII. Both are referred to as the Bayon type of temples, but Bayon is newer than the two.

The legendary King Arthur has a direct association with the Castle Rocks of St John, courtesy of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem of 1813, Bridal of Triermain. The poem tells the story of a young knight named Roland de Vaux who falls in love with a mysterious woman named Gyneth, who is revealed to be a fairy queen. The story takes place in the scenic Vale of St. John, near the town of Triermain. Gwyneth resides in the castle there (Castle Rock).
Synopsis of the poem:
The Bridal of Triermain interweaves three stories, all with a Lake District setting: the eighteenth-century courtship of Arthur and Lucy, the Arthurian Legend of 'Lyulph's Tale', and the twelfth-century romance of Sir Roland de Vaux.
In order to warn his aristocratic lover Lucy against excessive maidenly pride, the low-born poet Arthur recites 'Lyulph's Tale' in cantos I-II. He tells how how King Arthur is seduced by the enchantress Guendolen. When he abandons the pregnant Guendolen to resume his kingly duties, she swears revenge. Sixteen years later, the fruit of their union, Gyneth appears at Camelot to remind Arthur of his promise that should he and Guendolen produce a daughter, she would wed the bravest of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur declares a tournament with Gyneth's hand as the prize but instructs her to halt the combat before lives are lost. As the instrument of her mother's wrath, however, she does nothing to end the ferocious fighting, until Merlin arises from a chasm in the ground to punish her. She is sentenced to slumber in Guendolen's enchanted castle until awakened by a knight as brave as any of the Round Table.
The poet Arthur's courtship of Lucy proves successful and, following their marriage, Lucy begs him to tell of Gyneth's fate. In the third and final canto, then, he recounts the quest of the twelfth-century knight Sir Roland de Vaux of Triermain. He has heard Gyneth's legend and sets out to find the enchanted castle. Having located it in the Valley of Saint John, he successfully passes through a series of allegorical dangers and temptations (Fear, Avarice, Sensuality, Ambition) to awaken Gyneth from her five hundred-year sleep and win her hand.

One of those moments when you stop thinking about whether you are in the best place and just shoot......one not to be forgotten!.......and one light range far beyond that of a camera.
Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!
