My hometown Schuders is a village with just 30 souls, located in a remote place near Davos in the Swiss Alps. A one lane mountain road connects the village with the rest of the world. On the way you pass the Salginatobel Bridge, a historical reinforced concrete arch bridge, designed by Swiss civil engineer Robert Maillart, and built in 1930.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

We’ve been watching this family of Wrens since July 4th. As the chicks grew the parents never stopped bringing an endless assortment of bugs. On July 28th we watched as 6 fledglings took their first flight.

A pair of Trumpeter Swans swimming on the icy lake. It was very cold and windy there today.
Two years ago I took my wife for a drive within the hills on her rare day off. Early season rain got the hills off to a great start and the greens were progressing well. Making conditions even better this evening, patchy storms clouds rolled through the hills giving dappled light throughout the afternoon. The best light came for a few minutes prior to sunset when a small break to the west allowed some sunlight to strike the distant hills while lighting up the virga above. It is great to enjoy the scene while shooting, but even better to share the experience with someone else.

Some of these teams worked better together than others. The thing about kayaking, and perhaps life, is that when your team is out of sorts: you can always stop for a moment, take a breath to collect yourself and start back in a unified rhythm again.
Have a team working Sunday.
Oh, and last one of the kayakers. I promise :)

They have been to the classes, they've studied the form;
You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
Then you turn...
Oh, look... two Bald Eagles, click, click, click.

Alexander had always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. He spent years tinkering in his workshop, trying to create a machine that could transport him through time. Finally, after many failed attempts, he managed to build one that could move him backwards in time by five minutes.
With excitement and a great deal of trepidation, Alexander climbed into the machine and set the dials. After a five minute launch procedure, the machine hummed to life. Alexander felt a strange sensation wash over him. Suddenly, he was back in time, standing just a few feet away from himself.
Alexander's clone looked just as surprised as he did, and the two men started arguing about who should test the machine first. Neither of them wanted to miss out on the chance to experience time travel, so they decided to go back in time together.
As they emerged from the time machine, they were very surprised to meet the two Alexanders arguing over who should test the machine first. The four of them stared at each other in disbelief, but quickly realized that they were all versions of the same person.
Upon this realisation, their eyes all lit up and all four climbed through the portal.
"Soon our army will rule the world!" they cackled in unison....

Sarus Crane
The sarus crane (Grus antigone) is a large non-migratory crane found in parts of the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia. The tallest of the flying birds, standing at a height of up to 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in), they are conspicuous and iconic[4] species of open wetlands. The sarus crane is easily distinguished from other cranes in the region by the overall grey colour and the contrasting red head and upper neck. They forage on marshes and shallow wetlands for roots, tubers, insects, crustaceans and small vertebrate prey. Like other cranes, they form long-lasting pair-bonds and maintain territories within which they perform territorial and courtship displays that include loud trumpeting, leaps and dance-like movements. In India they are considered symbols of marital fidelity, believed to mate for life and pine the loss of their mates even to the point of starving to death. The main breeding season is during the rainy season, when the pair builds an enormous nest "island", a circular platform of reeds and grasses nearly two metres in diameter and high enough to stay above the shallow water surrounding it. Sarus crane numbers have declined greatly in the last century and it has been suggested that the current population is a tenth or less (perhaps 2.5%) of the numbers that existed in the 1850s. The stronghold of the species is in India, where it is traditionally revered and lives in agricultural lands in close proximity to humans. Elsewhere, the species has been extirpated in many parts of its former range.
