Temple I (also known as the Temple of Ah Cacao or Temple of the Great Jaguar) is a funerary pyramid dedicated to Jasaw Chan K'awil, who was entombed in the structure in AD 734, the pyramid was completed around 740–750. The temple rises 47 metres high.
The massive roofcomb that topped the temple was originally decorated with a giant sculpture of the enthroned king, although little of this decoration survives. The tomb of the king was discovered by Aubrey Trik of the University of Pennsylvania in 1962. Among items recovered from the Late Classic tomb were a large collection of inscribed human and animal bone tubes and strips with sophisticated scenes depicting deities and people, finely carved and rubbed with vermilion, as well as jade and shell ornaments and ceramic vessels filled with offerings of food and drink. The shrine at the summit of the pyramid has three chambers, each behind the next, with the doorways spanned by wooden lintels fashioned from multiple beams. The outermost lintel is plain but the two inner lintels were carved, some of the beams were removed in the 19th century and their location is unknown, while others were taken to museums in Europe.
Tikal Temple I is the designation given to one of the major structures at Tikal, one of the largest cities and archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Mesoamerica. It is located in the Petén Basin region of northern Guatemala. It also is known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar because of a lintel that represents a king sitting upon a jaguar throne. Another name is the Temple of Ah Cacao, for the ruler buried in the temple.
Temple I is a typically Petén-styled limestone stepped pyramid structure that is dated to approximately 732 AD.
Situated at the heart of a World Heritage Site, the temple is surmounted by a characteristic roof comb, a distinctive Maya architectural feature. Building Temple I on the eastern side of the Great Plaza was a significant deviation from the established tradition of building funerary temples just north of the plaza in Tikal's North Acropolis.

The red-billed oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) is a passerine bird in the starling and myna family, Sturnidae; some ornithologists regard the oxpeckers to be in a family by themselves, the Buphagidae. It is native to the savannah of sub-Saharan Africa, from the Central African Republic east to South Sudan and south to northern and eastern South Africa. Its range overlaps that of the less widespread, yellow-billed oxpecker.
The red-billed oxpecker nests in tree holes lined with hair plucked from livestock. It lays 2–5 eggs, with three being the average. Outside the breeding season it forms large, chattering flocks.
The preferred habitat is open country, and the red-billed oxpecker eats insects. An adult will take nearly 100 engorged female Boophilus decoloratus ticks, or more than 12,000 larvae in a day. The red-billed oxpecker feeds on ticks found on other animals.
However, their preferred food is blood, and while they may take ticks bloated with blood, they also feed on it directly, pecking at the mammal's wounds to keep them open to more parasites.
This is a medium-sized passerine, 20 cm long with strong feet. The red-billed oxpecker has plain brown upperparts and head, buff underparts and a pale rump. The bill is red, and adults have a yellow eye ring. Its flight is strong and direct, and the call is a hissy crackling trik-quisss. – Wikipedia

Oberschwaben in Süddeutschland ... Äcker und sattgrüne Wiesen wechseln mit Wäldern und fruchtbaren Obstgärten, da und dort blitzt ein Weiher oder ein kleiner See, Hügel reiht sich sanft an Hügel. Dazwischen schmucke Dörfer und kleine Städte eingestreut, Burgen und Schlösser, Klöster und Kapellen und die fernen Alpen, bei Föhn zum Greifen nahe.
Upper Swabia in southern Germany ... fields and lush green meadows alternate with forests and fertile orchards, here and there flashes a pond or a small lake, hill joins hill gently. In between, pretty villages and small towns interspersed, castles, monasteries and chapels and the distant Alps, with hair dryer at your fingertips.
Souabe supérieure dans le sud de l'Allemagne ... Les champs et les prairies verdoyantes alternent avec les forêts et les vergers fertiles, çà et là un étang ou un petit lac flamboie, les collines tapissent doucement les collines.

A large, spectacular, slender, carmine-pink-and-teal-blue bee-eater with a long pointed tail, black bill, and black facial mask. The immature is duller and shorter-tailed.
It gathers in large groups that often attend bush fires, and it specialises in catching large flying insects, including dragonflies, butterflies, and locusts.
They breed colonially by burrowing into sandbanks. It has a complex three-stage migration; it generally breeds between 13–20°S from August–September, disperses south of the breeding area December–March, and then moves north of the breeding area April–August.
“Trik-trik-trik” calls are more guttural than those of European Bee-eater. Similar Northern Carmine Bee-eater has a teal-colored (not carmine) chin and throat.

Another shot of the A.T.S. Automatics HB Torana Trik Shot.
You don't see to many HD Toranas and this one is is a little more special than most with its power plant. The motor is a mechanically supercharged Holden six and is sure to generate more than a few smiles when the right foot is planted towards the floor. Must have been quite a few days and nights getting it sorted, but it was in my opinion a stand out of the show.

A cold winter's day is when I first laid eyes on this house. I parked at the end of the driveway (just barely) and walked down just as the sky was turning that deep blue colour after the sun has set. I walked inside and had a quick look around and knew this was a location that I needed to come back to. Unfortunately, I never marked down the location, I thought about the house numerous times over the years and knew that I had to find it again to go back there. Fast forward a few years and the location again popped back onto my radar. I finally made it out there and was able to see it again for the first time.
Built in the late 1800s this Victorian Farmhouse has sat abandoned for about 16 years according to a calendar on the wall from 2006. A time capsule with furniture, belongings and personal items left behind. It also has one of the most amazing staircases I have seen inside an abandoned farmhouse. It has sat decaying for at least that long while the surrounding land was used for livestock until at least 2015. Since then the land surrounding the home has become severely overgrown and almost invisible to people travelling by while the surrounding crops continue to be actively farmed.

Irgendwie ungewöhnlich: Das ist ein umgebauter Fiat 500 als Dreirad oder neudeutsch als Trike. Das Gefährt hat TÜV-Segen und erlaubt das Fahren mit dem Führerschein A1 ab 16 Jahren, wie es früher die Führerscheinklasse 4 war.
