Heute hatten wir Glück: nach der Messe war die Messnerin noch eine Zeit lang da und schloß das Gitter erst später. Die Sonnenstrahlen sind Original und tauchen den einzigen gotischen Sakralbau von Worms in ein mystisches Licht. Nach dem Verlassen der Kirche schlug dann auch die Hitze mit 30 Grad zu.
I didn't know it was going to be a full moon until we stumbled upon it in the morning. TBH, this is a day earlier than the technically precise time.
This was over the Mississippi River (no, not that one) at Ferguson's Falls, Lanark County, Ontario.
The gaggle of Canada geese were not impressed with my disturbing their morning slumbers and honked to voice their displeasure.

Rob and I had only just been singing the praises of worms, when I was out with Simba on the wood-chip trail around the fields and spotted this leaf at the beginning of its journey down into the soil.. pulled by the recycling champion of the world!
I have this rule to myself never to move anything in a shot i find, but i was ever so tempted to move the leaf in the shadow of the lit one and the three stalks. I'm simultaneously kicking myself now, and patting myself on the head :-))
And just to say to anyone who's reading this, sorry I've been so busy and doubtless missed loads of gems in my people stream... I'm dying to see and comment on them and should be back here properly again later today as the pressure's off now.
Oh, and to say thank you, this is for you, tapeworm is fine
Taken in Southern Ohio a couple of days ago, this beautiful Worm-eating Warbler gave us some excellent views.
One of our most poorly named birds, the Worm-eating Warbler is a characteristic songbird of our mixed and deciduous forests. Its name is misleading as this warbler forages primarily for caterpillars, largely the larvae of moths, which once were commonly misnamed “worms.”

Worms looks back on an eventful history. It is known as the “City of Luther” after Martin Luther and is famous for its central role in the heroic Nibelung saga. All over town you’ll spot statues and pictures of dragons and the dragon slayer Siegfried, who was celebrated as a German national hero in the 19th century.
Wax Worms are found in many places including Europe, North America, Turkey, Russia, and Australia, where it is an introduced species. It tends to live in and around beehives. Scientist are studying them as a possible way to reduce the huge plastic waste problems that we currently face. earth.org/how-wax-worms-can-be-used-to-fight-plastic-waste/
For me, this spring has probably been my best one ever for Worm-eating Warblers. It seems like I have seen at least one every time I have been out for the past month or so. If that wasn’t nice enough, I think I have had more photo opportunities than any other spring migration. For a fairly plain bird it’s actually pretty cool looking with those head-stripes. Every spring migration is different and I think that is a bit part of what keeps them so interesting.

Worm's Head is a headland, at Rhossili, part of the City and County of Swansea, Wales. It is the furthest westerly point of the Gower Peninsula. The name Worm's Head is derived from an Old English word 'wyrm' for 'sea serpent'.
The rebuilding in the 12th century resulted, essentially, in the current cathedral. Around 1130, probably because of further damage to the building, Bishop Burchard II began the demolition of the church build by his predecessor Burchard I and the construction of a new church. The whole eastwerk with its towers and cupola were completed by him in the period up to c.1144. The nave and westwerk were erected between 1160 and 1181 by his successors, Conrad I and Conrad II. The latter consecrated it on 2 May 1181.
The cathedral has features of the late romanesque style, such as being completely vaulted and is decorated in line with Burgundian-Cistercian influence. Several religious buildings of the area are modelled on the cathedral's decoration, such that one can speak of a "Worms Style." Additionally, the elevation resembles the Imperial cathedrals in Speyer and Mainz. The gradual progress of the rebuild can be charted with dendrochronology. Lamps were donated for the west choir in 1172 and Bishop Conrad II was buried there in 1192. In former times, the Johanneskirche (Worms) [de] stood on the south side of the cathedral and served as its parish church and baptismal chapel, until it was demolished in 1812.
A Worm-eating warbler perched with a slight head tilt to observe any activity on the branch up and to the right. Great fun today working with this species of wood warbler. They are not the flashiest colored warbler, but I find the earth tone colors to be quite pleasing. Not to mention the dark brown head stripes which are really vivid. One day I will get the Worn-eater snacking on his favorite food...a worm! :D Please view large for best experience.
Off to find another species or two tomorrow. Stay tuned...
Robins use their sense of sight to find worms, When robins tilt their heads, they're actually using one eye to look for worms in their underground tunnels—and the other eye is focused above, so the robin can spot predators, too!
The Worms Kaiserdom while not the largest church I have been in or even the largest imperial church of the trip was quite massive and you could really feel it when you first walk in.
The church through design seems to have a very grounded feeling at its ground floor base and then soars upward uplifting the eye to its lofty arched ceilings, quite a nice bit of engineering.
The Dom overall is 110 m long, and 27 m wide, the transepts near the west end, extend to 36 m, the height in the nave is 26 m and the interior of the domes are 40 m.

Welcome to the inside of the Kaiserdom of Worms, picture here is the high altar it is a Baroque extravaganza by the famous 18th-century architect Balthasar Neumann.
When you photograph the interiors of these large structures remember a flash does absolutely no good and is frowned upon by most locations as well as being annoying to everyone, parishioner or visitor.
Another thought is to switch your camera to quiet mode if you have such a setting as to not disturb others and be respectful this is someone’s house of worship.
This fantastic work is made of gold leaf covered wood and marble, it was so large that there was no place for a proper transept.
The decorations feature Saints Peter and Paul with two angels pointing at the Madonna and Child, this lavish high altar 1742 is in the east choir.
