'Three eyed ' deer in New forest national park. Perfect timing and composition for this shoot. This deer looks like it's got three eyes and three ears.
Just a few buddies enjoying a good ride. Taken during the 2004 Sea Otter Classic mountain bike race. This is from the "fun ride" (and not the actual race), so we had time to pose for photos.
Mustafapasa is a small town in Cappadocia. It had a mainly Greek Orthodox population until the Greek / Turkish population exchange of 1923 when the majority of Turkey's Greek Orthodox population was exchanged for the majority of Greece's Muslim population. The town bears many signs of its Christian history (such as buildings with windows in 3s).
Three mates about to jump off the rocks at Merewether beach at sunrise during surfest. The slow shutter speed gives the sense of movement and excitement as they step up to take the plunge into the surf.
This image of was taken in the Mount Field National Park in Tasmania, Australia. There are three falls in the park including Russell Falls, Lady Baron Falls and Horseshoe Falls. I now have images of these 3 falls and other parts of the park which I will be gradually posting in this photostream.
I rate this National Park as the most photogenic place I have been to in Tasmania. Next time I will be focussing on the Talls Trees Circuit and macro images of this wonderful rainforest environment.
Geology
The park lies to the west of the Derwent Graben, formed during the mid-Tertiary. Outcropping to the west of the park, and underlying it as basement rock, are strongly folded older successions of Ordovician and Siluro-Devonian sediments including the Gordon limestone and its equivalents. Jurassic dolerite is ubiquitous above about 760 metres, with Triassic and Permian sediments outcropping at lower altitudes.
The Triassic and Jurassic rocks of the park and reserves show strong Gondwanic links with those of the Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica. The Triassic sequence of sedimentary rocks is very uniform, non-marine in origin and contains evidence of lacustrine and fluvial conditions with basic intrusive material.
The basalt dyke visible near Mt Bridges above Lake Seal is evidence of a recent intrusion in the faulted dolerite. The Jurassic dolerite (170 million years old) provides a firm link with Antarctica being of identical age.
Lady Barron Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Russell Falls are composed of horizontally bedded marine Permian siltstone benches. The vertical faces of the waterfalls are composed of the more resistant sandstone layers along vertical joint.
Aboriginal Heritage
Limited archaeological surveys in the park have shown that Aborigines used the land and waters of the park; more extensive surveys of the nearby Florentine Valley have shown Aboriginal occupation of over 30,000 years.
To date there have been no systematic archaeological surveys conducted in the park and reserves. Two Aboriginal sites have been identified inside the park boundaries, located near Lake Fenton and Lake Dobson.
The park fell within the territory of the Big River people, who occupied territory ranging from the Great Western Tiers to Mount Wellington. The Pangerninghe band located at the junction of the Derwent and Clyde Rivers near the present-day township of Hamilton, were the closest band to the park and reserves area.
European History
Early reports by white settlers noted the presence of Aboriginal people in the Russell Falls area. One such report dated 1827 noted an Aboriginal party of some 60 persons engaged in a skirmish with landowner Charles Abbott's servants, until the overseer arrived and "prudently settled all differences by the distribution of some provision amongst them" (The Tasmanian, 16 November 1827 p.2 col.1.).
From the 1830s, trappers and snarers worked the high country around Mt Field, coming in from Montos Marsh (now Ellendale). Bushrangers and escaped convicts were known to have hidden out in the country around Bushy Park in the 1840s, trapping and taking advantage of local farms such as Fenton Forest.
Prior to 1910, the only access to the high country was by pack track from Ellendale. In 1869, the eminent botanist Baron von Mueller visited Mt Field East on a week-long collecting trek, guided by the Rayner brothers, local trappers. He described the snow gum (Eucalyptus coccifera), the urn gum (E. urnigera), the cider gum (E. gunnii) and cushion plants (Donatia novaezelandie) from the meadows around Lake Fenton. The botanist Leonard Rodway also explored the area from the 1850s.
The first non-Aboriginal to encounter Russell Falls was a settler named Browning in 1856. The falls became known as Brownings Falls until about 1884 when confusion caused them to be referred to as Russell Falls, and by the turn of the century, the name was firmly established.
The original Russell Falls, named for a member of an exploration party in the Derwent Valley, was actually located on the Tyenna River, which was previously known as Russell Falls River. Frodsham surveyed the area in 1884, and the Falls Reserve was proclaimed in 1885.

It's been a while since I uploaded, slowly getting back to it. You'll see me more and more around in the next weeks. Have a nice week-end!
The "Three Cairns" is an installation by the British artist Andy Goldsworthy. Accordining to Wikipedia, Goldsworthy "produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. His art involves the use of natural and found objects, to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment." Goldsworthy did similar installations at art museums in New York and California as a way to symbolically connect the east coast, west coast and midwest.

The male Three-wattled Bellbird has a white head, chestnut body, and three long, obvious, blackish-grey wattles at the base of the bill. The female is much more nondescript, lacking the distinct wattles and is yellowish-green overall. Found in high mountain forests, this species is a pronounced altitudinal migrant, wintering in lowland forests. Although silent throughout most of the year, from March through June males of this species give a remarkable, far-carrying “boi-nng,” call from an exposed perch that has been the subject of many studies on vocal communication. Even though this species is known for its loud, piercing call, it is easily overlooked when silent. Only recorded feeding on fruits, the Three-wattled Bellbird may forage by aerial sally or while perched. This species has a restricted range and a small population size of less than 20,000 individuals, which is believed to be declining; due to these factors, the Three-wattled Bellbird has been listed as vulnerable on the IUCN watchlist.
In the beginning, there was one. Then it became three.
But for survival, all three depend on the tree.

20200707-212314 Copyright © VW Selburn 2020: I am not a fan of rotary clothes lines. I stretch the three varying sized washing lines (wrapped around this cable tidy), between three very tall wooden posts I had specially installed in the garden. The beauty of this is that I only need to put out as much line as is required. Spider webs don't hang around them because I unclip them from the posts when I take in the washing. At the extreme, I can quickly unclip and gather up a whole line should an unexpected downpour occur. The clips hook onto rings screwed into the post. No faffing about! It works for me anyway...
I was on food and hospitality trade show in Moscow all last week. It was a nightmare, tones of clients, people staring asking questions, partners from all over the world. After a day at the fair we had a late night diner and a party with foreign partners. No time to rest. But, every morning for like 10 minutes before opening, I sketched the view on still under construction new parts of the trade show facilities. This sketch took me three days, but it was really like 5-10 minutes.
The three well organised main event manager's of the Woodhead Run enjoy a well earned bite to eat.
A big thank you to you all for making it another memorable and enjoyable day out "up north".

For the second part of break Risa, Bri, and I headed out to the south
end of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track (about 60km away in the town of
Marahau, just back over the Takaka Hill), which is one of New
Zealand's most famous 'Great Walks', to meet up and hike with our
friends on the Stray backpacker's bus - Hayley, Rachel, Tori, and Wei.
The Coastal Track is a beautiful stretch of easy trail that runs
through lush jungle like forest and will suddenly open up onto
beautifully sandy beaches. For Risa and Bri this invlovled a group of
friendly climbers from camp headed that way, and for me a grape farmer
(and retired orchard owner) and then a Marahau B&B owner. I arrived a
bit behind everyone else to discover that they had already headed out
on the trail, worried about being able to make it through as much
trail as possible (the Stray folks had to be back at the south trail
head in three days), leaving me with some catching up to do. Finally
caught them at dusk and just arriving at the Torrent Bay camp by
crossing one of Abel Tasman's many mud flat bays (at low tide. So we
were all caught up - there was much rejoicing, tent setting, and
delicious dinner making (fortunately lightening my far too heavy load
of food). The next day we headed out, through even more great beaches
and forest, this time with less people (as we were beyond a day
hiker's range) to camp the second night at the Awaroa Camp on another
bay (this one impassable except at low tide). That night we were
rained on and our tramping club tents got a fairly good test (with
varying degrees of success, although my yellow Fairydown tent
performed very well). The next day we split up, with Hayley, Tori, and
Wei turning back south and Bri, Rachel, Risa and I continuing the
track north. The last day of the track turned out to be some of the
most beautiful and most deserted. Bri headed all the way out of the
park, while the rest of us spend our third and last night at the
Whariwharangi Camp (pronounced like fairy-farangee, as in Maori
pronunciation 'wh' is pronounced as an 'f'). Having arrived early, we
went for a scramble on some of the rocks at the end of the beach and
were rewarded by finding a very playful seal (who seemed about as
interested in us as we were in her), some funny birds, and a very
beautiful sunset over Golden Bay. Headed back to camp for some dinner,
socializing with some other campers (and a old and very interesting
warden) around the campfire (fortunately there was fire allowed in
this section of the park, as the storm the night before had brought in
some cold weather). In the morning, we headed out for the two hour
hike out of the park and then headed our separate ways.
