Monument Valley "Ndzisgaii in Navajo", meaning valley of the rocks, is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona–Utah state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West.

Tierra de Campos ("Land of Fields") is a large historical and natural region or greater comarca that straddles the provinces of León, Zamora, Valladolid and Palencia, in Castile and León, Spain. It is a vast, desolate plain with practically no relief, except for some wide undulations of the terrain.
Originally it was known as "Gothic Plains" (Campi Gothici or Campi Gothorum), as the area had been settled by Visigoths who fled from Aquitaine Gaul after its conquest by the Franks. It was first mentioned under this name in Codex Vigilanus (Codex Albeldensis), and described as extending "from the river Douro, to the Christian Kingdom".
Sorto nel cuore di una vasta foresta ricca di selvaggina, Chambord non è stato progettato per essere una residenza permanente ma semplicemente un padiglione di caccia. Francesco I amava trascorrervi le giornate per dedicarsi al piacere della caccia, all’epoca privilegio riservato alla nobiltà. Non soggiornò che per brevi periodi nel castello, lasciandolo completamente vuoto dopo ogni passaggio e, in definitiva, il castello non fu mai terminato…

Elle apprécie les zones humides boisées (dont mangroves) et la proximité de vastes étendues d'eau (douce, saumâtre, salée), rizières, vasières ou champs ou friches provisoirement inondés.
Elle niche dans les arbres ou roselières et plutôt sur les littoraux et zones humides de basse altitude. Dans les Andes et quelques régions on peut la trouver à des altitudes plus élevées1.
Description
D'une longueur d'environ 80–104 cm et d'une envergure de 140 à 170 cm, pour un poids de 700 grammes à 1,5 kg, la grande aigrette est un peu plus grande qu'un héron cendré. Son plumage est uniformément blanc. En période nuptiale, de longues plumes apparaissent sur le dos (aigrette) dépassant la queue, sans crête ni longues plumes sur la tête. Les yeux sont jaunes avec une pupille noire.
Hors période de nidification ou si l'individu ne niche pas, la couleur du bec est jaune, plus foncée à son extrémité.
Par contre en période nuptiale il fonce et peut devenir orangé1 à noir, avec les lores verts.
Les pattes et les doigts sont noirs (en toutes saisons).
Mâle et femelle sont très semblables, la femelle étant légèrement plus petite à âge égal.
Le juvénile ressemble à un adulte non-nicheur, avec des couleurs moins vives sur les pattes et le bec.
En vol, le cou est replié dans les épaules, comme celui d'un héron cendré.
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

The vast coastal dune fields of Namibia, Africa, are home to beautiful wildlife, such as this Springbok, sprinting up one of the dunes. They are specially adapted to this area, and can eat a plant rich in water, but bitter, which their own species in other parts of Namibia would not be able to tolerate.
The afternoon was devoted to lava fields, we stopped at the village of Vik before crossing the Myrdalssandur volcanic washout plains. We ended the day passing through the vast Eldhraun lava field, the world's largest recorded lava field in the past thousand years. These are vast and desolate places but the essence of Iceland with its 130 volcanoes.

Seasons greetings to all friends and contacts on Flickr, thank you for all the comments on my photography. I am always so inspired by the amazing wildlife images I have seen throughout the past year and look forward to 2025
Vaste prik op de dinsdagmiddag in het Maintal is de Schwaiger houttrein vanuit Hengersberg naar Brake die wordt verzekerd door EVB. Sinds dat EVB haar twee Eurodual's heeft mogen ontvangen in haar loccenbestand worden deze treinen regelmatig gereden met een van deze krachtpatsers en dus was de hoop dat dit op dinsdagmiddag 3 mei ook het geval zou zijn. Vorig jaar konden we te Gambach deze toch wel bijzondere foto van de trein maken toen ze nog werd gereden met een ER20 in dubbeltractie met een Taurus, iets wat tegenwoordig alweer verleden tijd is bij EVB. Overigens rijdt de trein enkel bij Gambach goed voor de zon, en als ze ook maar iets te vroeg is, is het vrijwel onmogelijk om een foto te maken met een goede zonstand dus dat is ook nog een dingetje.
Terwijl we op zondagmiddag 1 mei onderweg waren richting het Maintal werd reeds de EVB 159 229 gemeld met de lege houttrein voor Schwaiger richting het zuiden, wat zou betekenen dat dinsdag er inderdaad een Stadler Eurodual voor de trein zou zitten. Er kon natuurlijk nog van alles gebeuren, maar de trein werd voor dinsdag in ieder geval in het achterhoofd gehouden. De maandag ging voorbij met veel wolken en toch enkele leuke zonplaten en dinsdag leek niet veel anders te worden. Zoals verwacht werd tegen het eind van de ochtend de trein noordwaarts gemeld en daaruit bleek ook dat ze stipt op tijd was. Ondertussen had de zon veel terrein gewonnen en konden nog de nodige leuke platen gemaakt worden op het viaduct in Harrbach alvorens we richting Gambach trokken voor de verwachte houttrein. Een deel van de groep besloot om richting Karlstadt te gaan en dus zouden zij voor ons de trein doormelden als deze bij hun gepasseerd was. Echter kwam er vanuit het noorden een groot probleem opzetten in de vorm van een regenbui die tergend langzaam richting de zon schoof, maar omdat deze nog aan het ontwikkelen was kwam deze bui toch sneller dan gedacht dichter en dichter bij.
We hadden al een tijdje niks meer vernomen van de trein, maar uiteindelijk kwam daar de melding dat de trein Thüngersheim gepasseerd was. Een blik naar de wolkenformatie leerde ons dat we echt nog maar enkele minuten hadden totdat de zon zou verdwijnen, en aangezien de achtergrond gewoon nagenoeg blauw was zou een "grijze" plaat geen optie zijn. Gelukkig was de trein in rap tempo onderweg en werd al zo'n vijf minuten later gemeld te Karlstadt wat betekende dat het nog zo'n twee à drie minuten moest duren totdat we konden afdrukken. Al snel toonde het sein veilig en was het in spanning afwachten of het ging lukken, de zon was namelijk echt bijna verdwenen. Zo'n twee minuten later is dan het gezang van de spoorstaven hoorbaar en komt de blauw met gele locomotief door de bocht gezeild en kan het afdrukken beginnen.
Het is 14:07 als de lekker opvallende EVB 159 229 de vier opgeluchte fotografen passeert te Gambach met aan de haak Schwaiger houttrein 69694 vanuit Hengersberg naar Brake an der Unterweser. Na de passage hield de zon het nog eens een paar minuten vol totdat ze dan voorlopig verdween achter de regenbui. Wij besloten richting Thüngersheim af te zakken waar voorlopig nog wel zon was en we een paar interessante treinen konden klikken die richting het zuiden afkwamen. Zo was weer één van de hoofddoelen geslaagd!
Teuge - Sinds kort heeft NS weer de moeite genomen om hun 1700'en te wassen. Daarom ben ik deze maandagavond naar Teuge gegaan om 142 uit Berlijn vast te leggen, gezien deze werd verzekerd door de schone 1746. Hoewel de trein ruim een halfuur vertraging had, was dit ten opzichte van de zon alleen maar gunstiger. Het licht werd steeds fraaier en hierdoor hadden we geen wolkje voor de zon. Met een vertraging van circa 30 minuten passeert de 1746 met aan de haak IC 142 naar Amsterdam Centraal in een heerlijk zonnetje Teuge.

The River Arts District consists of a vast array of artists and working studios in 22 former industrial and historical buildings spread out along a one mile stretch of the French Broad River. This eclectic area is an exciting exploration of arts, food and exercise. Plan on spending a day or more visiting artists working in their studios, grabbing a bite of local cuisine or a brew and taking time to find art that’s perfect for your world.
More than 200 artists work in paint, pencil, pottery, metal, fiber, glass, wax, paper and more. As unique and individual as their art, so too are their schedules. There are no official “Open Hours” for the River Arts District, but at any given time throughout the year, you will find a plethora of open studios and galleries. If you are coming to see someone in particular, your best bet is to check in with them before your visit. Do it here, online via our search feature, or check the Studio Guide.

Cloister of the abbey. The abbey of San Giovanni in Venere is located in the municipality of Fossacesia, on a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The monastic complex of San Giovanni in Venere consists of a basilica and the nearby monastery, both built in the early thirteenth century.
The site where the abbey stands was a sanctuary, already existing at the time of the first Roman emperor Caesar Augustus, dedicated to the goddess Venus Conciliatrice.

Most South Africans I know feel quite lost in the vast dangers of our current political and economical situation. Bad government may soon cause our downfall. Nonetheless, it will be a last resort for me to leave. I love this continent.
while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.

Spagna, Castiglia-La Mancia, Toledo, Inverno 2013
Toledo è una città situata nel centro della Spagna, nella regione di Castilla-La Mancha. È stata dichiarata Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO nel 1986 per il suo vasto patrimonio culturale, monumentale e storico dato dalla co-esistenza delle culture cristiana, musulmana ed ebrea. Toledo è anche conosciuta come la "città imperiale" per essere stata la sede principale della corte di Carlo I. Nel 1085, la città cadde in mano ad Alfonso VI di Castiglia e fu la prima città importante durante la Reconquista. Toledo ha una lunga tradizione nella produzione di armi bianche, che sono divenuti ormai popolari souvenir.
Toledo is a city located in central Spain, in the community of Castile–La Mancha. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures ("City of the Three Cultures").Toledo is also known as the "Imperial City" for having been the main venue of the court of Charles I. In 1085, the city fell to Alfonso VI of Castile as the first major city in the Christian Reconquista. Toledo has a history in the production of bladed weapons, which are now popular souvenirs of the city.
I have just spent the past five days in the vast Hortobágy National Park in eastern Hungary. The park, a part of the Alföld (Great Plain), was designated as a national park in 1973 (the first in Hungary), and elected among the World Heritage sites in 1999. The Hortobágy is Hungary's largest protected area, and the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe.
However, I didn't have to travel far to see this Syrian Woodpecker which is very like Great Spotted Woodpecker. It was nesting in a tree outside the front door of my hotel!
Thanks for your visit and any comment you make on my photographs – it is greatly appreciated and encouraging!

Bécasseau sanderling | Sanderling | Calidris alba

Suite de cette belle première...
Voici une autre image de cette rencontre toute en proximité avec le Sanderling! Une première dont je me souviendrai longtemps! Ce lieu, si vaste, parfois accueillant, parfois repoussant où son fond nous est révélé dans sa splendeur ou sa laideur, faut voir pour comprendre, nous procure à l'occasion, et j'en ai eu beaucoup cette saison, des rencontres d'une intimité inouïe comme ce fut le cas cette après-midi là où pendant une vingtaine de minutes un bon groupe de Bécasseaux Sanderling a décidé de faire une pause pour se reposer et nettoyer leur plumage juste devant moi, à quelques pieds...
Patagonia has always held a special place in my heart. The vast landscapes, imposing mountains, serene lakes, and diverse wildlife leave me breathless. It was in this magical region that I experienced one of the most thrilling moments of my life: a face-to-face encounter with a puma.
On the second day of the W Circuit trek, I was hiking solo from Central Mountain Hostel towards Francés Mountain Hostel (a roughly 17 km/10.5-mile, 6-hour trek) when I spotted a figure in the bushes. My heart raced – could it be a Lesser Rhea ( flic.kr/p/2mw23tV ), the ostrich-like bird I'd been hoping to see?
Cautiously, I started taking pictures. To my surprise and delight, the creature emerged from hiding. But it wasn't a Rhea – it was a puma!
I never imagined seeing a puma so close. Its beauty and imposing presence left me speechless for a moment. I watched it, mesmerized by its reddish-gray coat and piercing eyes.
Torres del Paine National Park is estimated to have a puma population between 50 and 100. These magnificent animals are the second-largest cats in the Americas, after jaguars, though considered "small" globally. While Patagonian pumas are Chile's largest feline, males typically weigh between 150 and 220 pounds (68-100 kg), while females weigh over 100 pounds (49 kg). Their length can range from 5 to 9 feet (1.5-2.7 meters) from head to tail. (For reference, I'm 5'8" tall and weigh 140 pounds – 1.73 meters and 63.5 kg).
Fear quickly replaced my awe. I was alone in a wild environment, facing a top predator. What should I do?
Safety leaflets from the park entrance came to mind – make eye contact, stand tall, and don't run. Generally, staying calm is key around wild animals, as they're unlikely to attack unless threatened. Additionally, in a park with abundant food sources like guanacos, rheas, huemuls, Patagonian gray foxes, and culpeo foxes, the pumas likely wouldn't see me as prey.
Carefully, I put my camera away and gripped my trekking poles tightly. If the puma attacked, I'd defend myself with everything I had.
A Happy Ending and Unforgettable Lesson:
Thankfully, the puma showed no interest in me. With the same calmness it displayed upon arrival, it retreated back into the forest.
Trembling with a mix of emotions, I stood there for a few minutes. Adrenaline still coursed through my veins, but overwhelming joy and gratitude filled me. I had just witnessed a spectacular display of nature's power.
This encounter profoundly impacted me. It instilled a deep respect for wildlife and their habitat. It also revealed the awe-inspiring power of nature and the importance of connecting with it.

If you have Netflix, check out a documentary called "Our Great National Parks," narrated by Barack Obama. Season 1, episode 2 focuses on Chilean Patagonia. This breathtaking region boasts 24 unique national parks and is quickly becoming one of the most protected areas on Earth.
The series showcases the stunning beauty of the natural world, from the beaches of Africa and the islands of Japan to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Bonus fact: The episode featuring Chilean Patagonia even won Barack Obama an Emmy Award for Outstanding Narrator!
From the top of the mountain which was once the kingdom of Mapumgubwe, this is a panoramic shot of the valley below. There is evidently some water below the surface as the trees are green despite the drought. There are two small groups of impala, an obvious group of elephant and another elephant herd just visible on the far slope. I haven't yet spotted anything else but the ranger had his gun to hand just in case. If you can zoom in you will be able to just see over the ridge the dry sandy river basin of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers.
Sunset from Kaim Hill in Ayrshire.
Having never been up here before I didn't know what view to expect from the summit, so I was shocked to discover how vast it was. Views over Hunterston Power station to Arran and the Cumbrae Isles. You can also see two oil drilling vessels, Ensco Ds8 and Valaris Ds, down on the right that are being stored at the old Cyldeport at the moment.
Kaim Hill itself has a bit of a history being an old millstone quarry many years ago. From what i believe, the ruins in the foreground is whats left of the old millstone quarry office.
The vast interior based on the basilica's plan was designed in Latin cross and divided into naves, two corridors with stained glass windows and a short transept. The largest ship is 100 meters long, which gives it an impressive austerity. It has a trompe-l'oeil effect on the ship heading toward the aspe, making it appear larger than it really is. The thin composite pillars between the nave and the aisle are getting closer as you enter the nave.
The interior also has Corinthian columns, which were inspired by the classical Greek and Roman era.
The pulpit on the right, commissioned by the Rucellai family in 1443, was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and executed by his adopted son Andre Cavalcanti. This pulpit has a particularly significant history, because in this pulpit occurred the first attack to Galileo Galilei, leading eventually to its accusation.
Le ragondin est un animal préférant vivre dans les milieux aquatiques d'eau douce, parfois saumâtre. Aux rivières et fleuves d'Amérique du Sud d'où il provient s'ajoutent désormais tous les réseaux hydrauliques constituant son nouvel habitat dans les pays où il a été introduit : fossés et canaux reliant les marais.
Il creuse un terrier de 6 à 7 m le long des berges. Ce terrier possède en général plusieurs entrées, dont une subaquatique. Dans certaines régions à très forte densité de ragondins, et lorsqu'il a à sa disposition un vaste réseau de fossés et canaux, les terriers du ragondin participent à la déstabilisation des berges. Par la quantité de terre exportée dans l'eau à chaque terrier creusé, le ragondin provoque également l'accélération du comblement des fossés et canaux. Il arrive qu'il utilise les terriers déjà creusés par le rat musqué, avec qui il entre en concurrence. Il peut également construire des huttes de feuillages.

A strikingly marked, adult male Western Netted Dragon (Ctenophorus reticulatus) surveys his territory from a stone adjacent to the shallow burrow he has excavated on a slightly elevated roadside verge situated on a vast gibber plain in the arid north of South Australia.
The vast sandy beach at Chapel Porth in north Cornwall only becomes visible at low tide. Then during the holiday season the beach is manned by RNLI Lifeguards. The red and yellow flags indicate the area within which it is safe to swim. It would seem that only a small area is considered safe today. This is a favourite place for surfing when the conditions are right.

Landscape of Tibet
Tibet is the highest country on earth with an average elevation of over 4000m. The lowest regions of Tibet are still over 2000m above sea level with Jomo Langma (Everest,Sagarmatha) ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ being the highest point at 8848m. Tibet is covered in grasslands, mountains and valleys.
Many of Asia’s largest rivers have their headwaters in Tibet such as the Ma chu རྨ་ཆུ་ ( Yellow River), Dri chu འབྲི་ཆུ་ (Yangtze), Nag chu ནག་ཆུ་ - རྒྱ་མོ་རྔུལ་ཆུ (Salween), Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) and Dza chu རྫ་ཆུ་ (Mekong). Western Tibet (Ngari) is a high, arid region with few people, while southeast Tibet (Kham) is forested and suitable for farming. Northern Tibet (Amdo) is covered in vast grasslands filled with yaks and sheep and central Tibet (U-Tsang) is the most densely populated area of Tibet lying along the fertile Yarlung Valley.
Een vaste klant op zondagavond is trein 44752 die Crossrail van Wustermark naar Antwerpen Noord rijdt en garant staat voor een mooie sleep ketelwagens. En omdat het niet altijd een Traxx moet zijn, rijdt deze trein vast met een class 66 - of is het 77, maakt niet uit. Hier rijdt deze mooie trein door Balderse velden, opgewacht door een heuse schare fotografen, dat had natuurlijk alles te maken met de omleidingen en dus het drukke verkeer die avond op lijn 16.
