I give most of these abstract, ever-changing water reflections a simple date and time for a title because they record a unique and fleeting moment in time (and, let's be honest, because it's easier than thinking of words for each one!).

While travelling through the streets of Kolkata, I reached Kumartuli, the exquisite idol city..It seemed a rare and unique planet to me out there..Being surrounded by the unborn idols, being immersed in strangeness, diversity and vibrance..I was lost in one unique world....

One of the unique things we found in our travels through the southwest was the Center of the World in Felicity, California near the border of Arizona. The town, with a population of 2, includes the Church on the Hill constructed on a 35 foot manmade hill, a 21 foot glass and granite pyramid built over the bronze marker of the Center of the World and dozens of polished granite panels containing the history of humanity as written by the founder, Jacques-Andre Istel. Admission is $10.00. The hill is enclosed by a fence.
Happy Fence Friday!
A few years back I had a unique photographic experience. I came across 2 foxes that were running along the side of the road. They did not seem to mind my presence, and so I walked with them for about an hour, before they decided to split up and wonder down different trails in the park. I went with one of the foxes, and we walked down and back along a marsh trail for over an hour, he hunting for voles while I tried to capture the moments. During that hour he caught 14 voles (hungry fellow) and provided me with over 500 pictures during the 2 1/2 hours I spent in total with the two of them...
To see more pics from this day and other fox photos please check out my album entitled "foxes" at www.flickr.com/photos/black_cat_photography/albums/721577...
All comments regarding this picture, subject, composition, etc are welcome and appreciated. TIA.
One more frame of this scene, this one zoomed in on the two unique trailing units because it is doubtful this will ever be repeated!
In a surprising turn of events the CSXT Geometry train returned to the MBTA for several days of testing. The purpose of this was to run the CSXT train in a consist with the MBTA's own newly built revenue GEO cars, the MBTA 533 and 534. These rebuilt MBB coaches were outfitted with data collection instrumentation from Ensco and the Keolis engineering team wanted to run them together with a piece of control equipment so they all collect the same data at the same time to be compared and validated. The train consisted of F40PH-3C 1070 bracketing cab car 1706, the two MBTA GEO cars, CSXT's three car train of 994366 (Geometry/theater car TGC3), 994365 (support car Hocking Valley), and 994369 (crew car Grand Rapids) with its assigned one of a kind unit, CSXT 9969, an ex MARC GP40WH-2. All of that was bracketed on the other end by MBTA 1130, a rebuilt GP40MC dressed in its one of a kind 'heritage' colors colloquially known to fans as the 'easter egg scheme' which mimics the paint job worn by the original F40PHs in the 1970s and early 1980s as well as some of the FP10s. This was the second of six (so far!) 'heritage' schemes designed to pay homage to the MBTA commuter rail system's early years and its legacy predecessors.
The Keolis north side work train crew is on board the 1070 as they head east toward Rockport over the causeway at MP 25.3 on the Gloucester Branch which dates from 1847 when constructed by the Eastern Railroad. They are crossing the double track thru girder bascule drawbridge built by the Boston and Maine in 1944 which provides access to Manchester's inner harbor.
Rising at right can be seen the white steeple of the First Congregational Church which dates from 1809, and is the fourth meeting house...with the first having been built way back in 1656!

The Norwegian Natur & Foto Magazine organized for the 7th time the largest, likely most prestigious, Nordic nature and wildlife photography competition.
With its fantastic nature, unique light, magnificent wildlife and plant life, Nordic nature is in a class of its own and the magazine wants to promote that via the Nordic Nature Photo Contest, which is international and open to everyone. All images must be shot in one of the Nordic countries, Norway including Svalbard, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, the Faeroe Islands and/or Greenland.
One of the images I sent was a high key image of an Apollo (Parnassius apollo). In Finland, the beautiful, elusive, though vulnerable Apollo butterfly was one of the first species of insects declared endangered in the country and is thus very hard to find. I have tried to photograph it throughout the last few summers, though not always with success.
However, there is always a chance to get lucky... and I did... back in July 2016. Went to an area in the South of Finland where the Apollo flies in limited numbers. I searched, stayed patient and got 'awarded'. The Apollo visible, in this now awarded image, was either not warmed up properly, or simply lacking energy, as it was extremely calm for some 20 minutes providing me however with enough photographic opportunities. I converted this particular image into a high key B&W using Silver Efex Pro, but kept the 'eyes', though partially hidden as the wings were closed, red.
As you all know, I am on the never ending pursuit of that next ‘cracking shot’ … and long may it still continue. Happy days! For further information on the competition, please visit www.nnpc.no/en/
The Breakaways are a striking & unique example of arid scenery. From the flat - topped mesas to the stony gibber desert, remnants of millions of years provide a wealth of geological interests and breathtaking views. Looking out over the breakaways it is hard to believe that over 70 million years ago, a vast inland sea covered the area. The region is rich in Aboriginal and European history and is home to an array of native fauna and flora, which have successfully adapted to one of the world's harshest environments. Definitely one of Outback South Australia's best-kept secrets.
This is sunset time looking east. I could not capture any decent cloud. There were some more defined clouds in the distance the rest were all a sort of haze.

Seen while out walking. I'm not very good at plant ID at any time much less this one, but it did strike my attention while walking by.

Common Names: Hot Lips, Hot Lips Plants, Flower Lips, Hooker's Lips, Mick Jagger's Lips.
Hot lips plant has just the kind of pucker you might expect from the moniker, but the pair of lips are actually the plant’s flower.
There are over 2,000 species of Psychotria, the genus under which hot lips falls. Where does hot lips grow? Psychotria elata is part of the tropical rainforest understory flora of the Americas. It is a unique plant with uninteresting flowers but fabulous lip-like bracts. The plant can be difficult to grow and has very special cultivation conditions.
Hot lips grows as a shrub or small tree. The plant has deeply veined simple leaves of matte green. The flower is actually a pair of modified leaves that pout around the tiny star-like white to cream flowers. These become small bluish-black berries. The plant is very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Unfortunately, the plant is severely threatened due to habitat destruction and development. It is nearly impossible to get the plant or seeds here in the States. It is a common gift plant in Central America, however, usually for Valentine’s Day.
Chester Rows is a unique architectural feature in Chester, England. The Rows are a series of two-tiered medieval buildings with covered walkways on the first floor, dating back to the 13th century. These walkways, known as "rows," provide access to shops and other premises, with another set of shops located at street level, often accessed by descending a few steps. The black and white half-timbered buildings are believed to be built on top of Roman ruins. The exact reason for their construction remains a topic of speculation, with one theory suggesting that the Roman walls limited space for commercial expansion. Today, the Rows are a popular tourist attraction and shopping destination, housing a variety of shops.
Undercrofts or "crypts" were constructed beneath the buildings in the Rows. The undercrofts are made from stone while most of the buildings in the Rows are timber. Today about 20 of the stone undercrofts still exist, but at the level of the Rows very little medieval fabric remains. Many of the buildings containing portions of the Rows are listed and some are recorded in the English Heritage Archive. The premises on the street and Row levels are used for a variety of purposes; most are shops, but there are also offices, restaurants, cafés, and meeting rooms. Chester Rows are one of the city's main tourist attractions.
The building housing Mollie's Sweet Shop is a black and white timber-framed structure, characteristic of the Tudor Revival style. The shop's exterior is decorated with a red and white colour scheme and features two tin soldier statues flanking the entrance. Mollie's Sweet Shop is a chain that sells traditional British sweets and American candy. The shop in Chester is situated in a Grade II* listed building at numbers 27, 29, and 31 on Northgate Street, within the Dublin Packet passage.
Next to Mollie's Sweet Shop is the Dublin Packet pub, located at 27-31 Northgate Street, which is also part of the historic Chester Rows. The Dublin Packet is a Grade II* listed building, noted for its black and white timber-framed architecture, typical of the Chester Rows. The pub itself is a traditional British pub that dates back to the 1800s and is named after the packet boats that used to travel between Chester and Dublin. For 16 years after World War II, it was run by former Everton footballer Dixie Dean.
I have met many cats, each with a unique and unrepeatable personality, but there are some who leave a permanent mark. She was one of them.
An extremely unique and distinctive design by Giovanni Michelotti, built by Vignale and based on the famous Fiat 8V. Michelotti demonstrated his creativity and inventiveness with this Démon Rouge (red devil) at the Turin motor show in 1953.
The semi-circular, vertical rear window under the extended roofline is one of the most striking details. It was an aerodynamic trick intended to keep the rear window clean and dry during heavy rainfall. Something similar would later be applied to the Ford Anglia and the Citroën Ami. The roof itself is largely made of Plexiglas, to give the impression of an open car. The door handles are ingeniously incorporated into the rear pillars. There are no bumpers and the headlights are framed by the grille.
In 1955 the design won the first prize in the ‘Coppa Campione d’Italia’ Concours d’Elégance. Nearly fifty years later, in 2004, the car won the ‘Best of Show’ prize at the Concours d’Elégance at palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn.
The Fiat 8V – ‘Otto Vu’ in Italian – is the only eight-cylinder built by Fiat. Between 1952 and 1954 exactly 114 8Vs were built, some with special Ghia and Vignale coachwork.

All 173 species of Banksia bar one, are uniquely Australian. The genus is a member of the Proteaceae family and was first collected at Sydney in 1770 by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. Fossils found have shown that these incredible plants have been on earth for 59 million years.
Inflorescences on B. ericifolia can grow to 30cm in length. This species is endemic to this area here on the east coast.
This may look like a delicate beauty - but it is in fact rather like touching a wire brush. These plants, (even their inflorescences), are tough as old boots.
Flowering in autumn and winter. Like other banksias, B. ericifolia plays host to a wide variety of pollinators and is a vital source of nectar in autumn, when other flowers become scarce.
Can grow to 6 m.

Dames Cave is a 1.2 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Brooksville, Florida that features a cave and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The Dames Cave area is located in the Citrus Tract portion of the Withlacoochee State Forest in Citrus County, Florida and are found on a western portion of the Brooksville Ridge physiographic region. This landscape is dominated by karst landforms including uvalas, dolines, solution valleys, and caves. Geologically, the caves are among the oldest in Florida.
The entrance trail to the Dames Caves is located off S Lecanto Hwy. Quite possibly there will be several cars already parked there, as these will be the only indicators that one of Florida's most unique and oldest cave systems is just a short jaunt off of this straight and narrow farm road. Parking is free, but is at your own risk, mainly because there are no designated parking spots. A short half-mile trail leads off into the Withlacoochee State Forest.
Once again, no trails are marked, but heading directly east will bring you to the opening of one of the most popular caves. Surrounded by several concrete posts and heavy gauge wire, the opening to Vandal Cave appears before your eyes. One of the best spot for pictures, this cave opening is actually an ancient roof collapse. Part of the roof is still connected and creates a land bridge that can be easily walked across by daring individuals. A small side cave allows access into the inner cave system. Once inside you can see why it is called Vandal Cave. Graffiti and other damage can be seen throughout, explaining why this cave system is so hard to find. Other smaller caves branch off from this Vandal Cave and range in a variety of difficulties of exploration from simple head ducking and flashlight exploring to belly-slinking and crawling through tight spots in the mud.

The unique Glasswing or Clearwing (Greta oto, too Greta morgane oto) is a brush-footed butterfly where its wings are transparent.
Like its English name its Spanish name too is very fascinating. It is called 'Espejitos', which means 'little mirrors’. The tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass. The opaque borders of its wings are dark brown, sometimes tinted with red or orange, and its body is dark in color. The length of the wings is between 4.5 and 6.0 cm. It is thought that their mostly transparent wings make these butterflies less visible when in flight.
It is a day active common butterfly from Central America (Mexico to Panama) and the Caribbean. The Glasswing may also be found in Venezuela in the mountain area around the City of Caracas. Adult glaswings inhabit the tropical rainforest and feed on the nectar of a variety of tropical flowers.
This picture was taken in the tropical butterfly house of the botanical gardens of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
De unieke glasvleugelvlinder (Greta oto, ook Greta morgane oto) is een wat schuwe overdag actieve vlinder met doorzichtige vleugels. Het is een algemeen voorkomende vlinder in Midden-Amerika (Mexico tot Panama) en het Caraïbische gebied. De soort wordt ook gevonden in Venezuela in het bergachtige gebied rond de stad Caracas, maar is daar minder algemeen.
Net als de Engelse en Nederlandse namen “glasswing” en “glasvleugel” is de Spaanse naam in Midden-Amerika, waar de vlinder vandaan komt, ook erg fascinerend. De vlinder heet daar ‘Espejitos’, wat 'kleine spiegels' betekent. Het doorzichtige weefsel tussen de aderen van de vleugels lijkt op glas. De niet doorzichtige aderen zijn donkerbruin, soms wat rood of oranje.
Het lichaam van de vlinder is donker van kleur. De lengte van de vleugels is tussen 4,5 en 6,0 cm.
Er wordt gedacht dat de doorzichtige vleugels de vlinders minder zichtbaar maken tijdens de vlucht.
Volwassen glasvleugelvlinders bewonen het tropisch regenwoud en voeden zich met de nectar van de verschillende tropische bloemen.
Deze foto is gemaakt in het vlinderhuis in de Botanische Tuinen van de Utrechtse Universiteit.
