With the weather turning back to rain today, and having only taken 4 photos in an hour, I decided to pack up and head home. As I shut the car door I heard the distinctive call of a Western Pardalote, and noted that I was near a nesting site I had discovered a few years ago. As I turned around the male and female landed near their nest, so I quickly grab my gear and stood patiently for the pair to emerge. After a few minutes the male emerged and stood guard at the front of the nesting site, allowing me to grab a few intimate images of this remarkable bird.

Close-up candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Capturing the moment she turned her head from right to left and although the focus is pin-sharp, the subtle motion blur on her face adds something to the shot that I love. Enjoy!
Weird building actually. It used to be one of the tallest building here in the north (Sweden) but I heard something about it's only the second highest building nowadays.
Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.

This is what the steering wheel and dashboard of a 1960 Dodge Phoenix looked like when it was new.
At 190.4 meters, Turning Torso is the third tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-meter skyscraper Triumph Palace in Moscow and the 212-meter skyscraper Sky Tower in Wrocław.
The construction is based on nine cubes with five floors in each cube. Including the intermediate floors, there will be a total of 54 floors. Each floor is about 400 m². The total office space comprises approx. 4,200 m² and is located in the two lowest cubes. Cube three to cube nine comprise a total of 147 apartments. The top two floors (53 and 54) are the Turning Torso Meetings conference facility. Each floor basically consists of a square part around the core and a triangular part, which is partly supported by an external steel support structure. The entire structure turns a quarter of a turn on its way up.

It's a couple of days until the Autumn Equinox and we're really starting to feel the changes as the nights are drawing in. There's now a distinct nip in the morning air and the hedgerows and local orchards are burgeoning with ripe autumn fruits.
This is the collaborative display that Carter and I put together for BrickWorld, it took alot of effort on both our parts and we were extremely pleased with how it turned out in the end. Anyway, without further adduce we present you with "Under the Saharan Sun", enjoy.
The basic plot here consists of the misadventures of a NATO Satyr column that is in rout to verify some shady info on a high value target that might be hiding in a small North African port city.
Due to setting in the bleak hopeless future of 2052 the water in this area of the Mediterranean is receding, destroying the fishing/import export economy of the city turning it into a den for terrorists and paramilitary groups.
Seokchon Lake Park.
Il lago Seokchon era originariamente una parte del fiume Han.
C'era un'isola chiamata Burido nel mezzo del fiume Han che lo divideva in due, il fiume Songpa (la parte settentrionale) e il fiume Sincheon (la parte meridionale).
Nell'aprile del 1971, iniziò un progetto di costruzione per collegare Burido con la terraferma.
Proseguì allargando il fiume Songpa e chiudendo il fiume Sincheon.
A causa di questa costruzione, la parte meridionale chiusa del fiume Han divenne il lago Seokchon e il terreno creato dal progetto di bonifica divenne Jamsil-dong e Sincheon-dong.
Negli anni '70, dopo la costruzione, il lago Seokchon e l'area circostante erano sgradevoli alla vista.
Fu creato un sentiero pedonale e piantati alberi, trasformando l'area in un parco.
In seguito, il lago Seokchon divenne inquinato causando un cattivo odore.
La gente evitava il parco del lago Seokchon per questo motivo.
Nel 2001, Songpagu lo ha designato come attrazione turistica e ha avviato un progetto di manutenzione per ripulire l'acqua e consentire il recupero del sistema ecologico.
Seokchon Lake Park.
Seokchon Lake was originally a part of the Han River.
There was an island called Burido in the middle of the Han River that divided it into two, the Songpa River (the northern part) and the Sincheon River (the southern part).
In April 1971, a construction project began to connect Burido with the mainland.
It went on to widen the Songpa River and close off the Sincheon River.
Because of this construction, the closed off southern part of the Han River became Seokchon Lake, and the land created by the reclamation project became Jamsil-dong and Sincheon-dong.
In the 1970s, after construction, Seokchon Lake and the surrounding area were unsightly.
A walking path was created and trees were planted, turning the area into a park.
Later, Seokchon Lake became polluted, causing a bad smell.
People avoided Seokchon Lake Park because of this.
In 2001, Songpagu designated it as a tourist attraction and initiated a maintenance project to clean the water and allow the ecological system to recover.

First pictures since the Winter months for me of the amazing Aurora Borealis which was very active last night 26/08/2015. Picture was taken from the roadside opposite the Roreisle beach turning on the Kinloss road in Moray North East Scotland.
