On a small island, in a small lake, there is this nearly dead tree, and on this tree, there are dozens of Cormorant nests. Additionally, there are at least three Great Blue Heron nests (not shown in the picture). All of those birds eat fish. It's hard to imagine that the small lakes in a Denver, Colorado suburb can support so many large birds, but these nests have been in use every year that I have visited in the last eight years.
A Great Blue Heron female standing over her newborn chicks waiting for the male to bring food for the youngsters. The breeding plumage creates a whole new look for this species.
The big circular web woven by an enterprising spider on my front verandah of my house.
The broken bits near the foreground were caused by me when I got too close while photographing the trapped insect and accidentally touched it with my fingers.
...Going on with this egret at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Ks. near Great Bend. Or Shake Your Booty, Shake Your Groove Thing, Shake Ya Tailfeather (a favorite from my youth), another favorite, Shake, Rattle And Roll, not a title but lyrics, Shake it up baby, twist and shout, and last a band, Alabama Shake. Any others?
All life, as if an endless moment...
Seasons change after season.
This whole wonderful world was in white,
Then suddenly it becomes green again...
Where is the line, the one beyond which this life is?
Where is sensuality, and where is rationality?
Where is what we call MIRAGES,
And where is the inexorable reality?
And the world - it is as if woven from problems,
The mysteries in it are sometimes inexplicable,
But we live in it for some reason, why?
Everything in this world is so inexplicable...
We want it to be simple, why?
To understand everything that we do not understand?
So that no one understands
Everything that we feel and everything that we know?
What are we striving for, what do we want to understand?
First we create, and then we destroy again,
We are so used to losing so much,
That our souls become hardened from losses.
We are used to life, and it is only a moment!
I just started living, and life is already coming to an end,
And this world remains a fairy tale
A mystery, once unsolved...
Tres ábsides semicirculares de estilo románico (Siglo XII), el central mas bajo que los laterales, dejando espacio a un extenso rosetón que da luz al templo. Están divididos por contrafuertes en forma de elevadas columnas que llegan hasta la preciosa cornisa con arquería de medio punto. Edificios posteriores, como la sacristía, impiden apreciar debidamente el conjunto absidal.
The church of the old monastery of San Esteban de Ribas de Sil.
Three semi-circular apses of Romanesque style (12th century), the central lower than the lateral ones, leaving room for an extensive rosette that gives light to the temple. They are divided by buttresses in the form of high columns that reach the beautiful cornice with half-point archery. Later buildings, such as the sacristy, impede the proper appreciation of the whole of the apse.

The whole beauty of this mountain on a summer morning in the Bavarian Alps in Germany. Her majesty, the mountain named Höfats is one of the most striking peaks in the German Alps. With four major summits it looks like a crown from a different angle. The name Höfats means "upland pasture". Its steep and grassy sides are not quite easy to ascend!

Red-Headed Woodpecker.
A 10 inch long bird. Whole head is red, wings and tail bluish-black which a large white patch on each wing, white underparts and white rump. It is conspicuous in flight. Immature resembles adult but has a brown head, 2 dark bars on white ring patch.
Their habitat consists of open-county, farms, rural roads, open park-like woodland, and golf-courses.
They range from Saskatchewan to Quebec in Canada south to the Gulf Coast and Florida. They are scarce in the northeastern U.S. states. They winter mainly in the southern part of their range.

Time-transience has disappeared
, infinity has closed the ring,
and everything under the Sun is invariably
in a beautiful joyful country:
I am just a molecule of the Universe,
and the whole Universe is in me...
I am a drop in the sea—ocean,
in a salty splashing wave,
a star that disappeared in the fog...
And a drop of the rainbow is in me...There the key rang transparent, mountainous,
the waves were bright, azure,
the heavenly harp sounds full,
deep, inner peace...
The sea breeze filled the heart!
In the whole wide-open universe
there is only a sea breeze,
only a sea breeze....
A whole row of carved corbels above this left-over carved lintel from the time when it surmounted a doorway. Leaves and flowers are interspersed with geometrical patterns, which are thought to have been based on motifs in Reading Abbey, long since in ruins. This carved band would presumably already have been around 500 years old during the 1607 rebuilding of the tower, and in a style very unlike the prevailing one in Tudor times, so it's impressive that they decided to incorporate it in the new tower. I'm guessing that although only about 8 'tiles' are lattice work, they probably all were and have either become clogged up by centuries of dirt, or needed backing to prevent their disintegration.
I love these nice scenes captured underground. I hope you like it.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

In fact the whole village is named after the Saviour. Sotira in Greek means Saviour. Sotira is a well-known village in the Ammochostos (Famagusta) area of Cyprus and plenty of old churches have survived in the village centre. The "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Christ" is currently closed. There is archaeological work going on, but the building was too small anyway and, in the 20th century, had been replaced by the "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Jesus". I'll come back to this interesting change of title. This old church here goes back to the 13th century, back to the time of the crusades and the French occupation of Cyprus. The building began as a simple barrel roof construction. In Venetian times, the dome was added, and the spire, also in Venetian style, is a 19th century product (still built during the Ottoman occupation). The archaeological dig showed that this church is resting on foundations of a fifth century Christian basilica. So, the question of who the Saviour is, has always been central to this village. Metamorphosis or Transfiguration denotes the visible appearance of Jesus, not as man, but as God. But "Christ"? Christ is already a title presupposing divinity, no need to transfigure here. That is why, I would guess, that in the 20th century the title was changed to transfiguration of Jesus. It makes more sense. Sense is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. If, as Christian doctrine has it, Jesus Christ was one person, but had two natures (God and Man), and if the Trinity consist of three persons, but having only on nature, there is trouble if you apply Aristotelian logic. Things are made not easier by the gospel of John which stipulates that Christ was always there with God and, therefore, had pre-existence. If you find this difficult, it only means that your mind is working. The question of who the Saviour is is not a puzzle the mind can resolve. But if you sing the question, turn it into sound, or into vision, you may be on a different path. Fuji X-Pro3.
