This belted kingfisher came up with two fishes with one dive. He cleverly managed to swallow the nearest fish while holding the second in the tip of its beak.

"Near Harlech Castle is "The Two Kings" sculpture. It depicts the sad story of Branwen, a tale from a collection of Celtic mythological stories known as The Mabinogion.
Bendigeidfran, King of the Island of the Mighty, was at his court at Harlech when Matholwch, King of Ireland, landed. He asked for the hand of Branwen, Bendigeidfran`s sister. The marriage took place and the royal couple had a son called Gwern who became king.
Later there was a war between the two countries caused by Bendigeidfran defending his sister's honor, and during the conflict Gwern was killed.
The sculpture is of Bendigeidfran with the body of his nephew.
The informational plaque reads:
The Mabinogion story of Branwen is a lament over the folly and carnage of war. Branwen, sister of Bendigeidfran, the King of Britain, departed from the court at Harlech to marry the King of Ireland. Their son, the boy King Gwern, was killed in the war which followed.
In the sculpture, the figure of Bendigeidfran, bearing the body of his nephew Gwern, symbolises the sorrowful burden that love can be.
Commissioned by the Welsh Arts Council and presented to the people of Wales in 1984."

Two of the more than one million fans who lined the parade route in downtown Toronto today to celebrate the Raptors victory in the NBA Championship series. Photographed on University Ave at Adelaide Street as the cavalcade finally passed by, several hours behind schedule, slowed to a crawl along the route by eager crowds spilling onto the roadway, blocking the parade vehicles. Processed in PS.
"We are spectators in the shade here", the bikes told me - "The show is opposite, in the sunny side of the street..."

I am no friend of the night. I really really hate staying up all, or even most, of the night for any reason. I sleep early and wake up early. This has been going on since my study for BA (YEARS ago)
It is 3.30 am now. I can't sleep. I don't know why. By the way, I drink decaffeinated coffee and I drink my last cup of tea by 4pm.
I have never posted a photo in such a time.
Khalid, my son, has a kind of a party in his kindergarten tomorrow. He will never forgive me if I oversleep,
Pray for me to be able to sleep.
Hope you like the photo.
