Happy May Day! My first Osprey of the season.
Osprey feed primarily on live fish, which they catch from the water by using their long, hooked talons. An osprey can plunge so forcefully into the water that if will completely submerge! They are a perfect fishing machine with a success rate of around 70%.

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée avec ma femme au départ du Gaschney, en passant successivement par le Lac de Schiessrothried, le Col du Wormspel, le haut de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, une partie du Sentier des Névés, le Col du Wormspel à nouveau, le Hohneck et pour finir le Col de Schaeferthal.
Les paysages grandioses et les magiques couleurs d'automne au soleil ont fait de cette rando une de nos plus belles randos ! ❤️
Comme indiqué dans le titre, cette photo a été prise depuis le flanc droit de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, près du point le plus haut.
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir quelques beaux rochers de cette crête rocheuse et sauvage, prisée des alpinistes et amateurs de sensations fortes. D'ailleurs, à droite des rochers de gauche, on aperçoit légèrement le casque d'un alpiniste et le corps d'un autre.
En bas à droite, on peut voir la pente abrupte plonger vers la Combe d'Ammelthal et ses belles couleurs d'automne.
Quand j'étais sur cette forte pente, j'étais subjugué la sauvagerie du décor mais je n'étais pas à l'aise car je suis légèrement sujet au vertige et qu'il y avait du vent. J'étais particulièrement mal à l'aise quand je prenais des photos. 😉
Dans la pente, on peut voir quelques arbustes déjà complètement dénudés le 13 octobre. Il y en avait beaucoup plus sur le flanc gauche, du côté du Lac de Schiessrothried.

The world is getting warmer. Since the Industrial Revolution, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 0.9 degrees Celsius and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the warmest years on record taking place since 2010. 2016 and 2019 were the warmest years on record.
Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action.
It is causing a set of changes and complex shifts to the Earth's which climate scientists call “climate change”. Volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation from sunspots have contributed only about two percent to the recent warming effect. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors.
The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it’s changing the climate faster than some living things can adapt to. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate poses unique challenges to all life. A one-degree global change is significant. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age.
Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet.

With this shot I'd like to celebrate two precious things: the Earth's Day 2020 and my family.
I have captured this moment during our 2014 summer vacations while descending from the Waldnersee, in Ahrntal (South Tyrol). It had just stopped raining, at least for the moment. The temperature was about a windy 3-4° C; the landscape was soaked wet, but always beautiful. My wife, Laura, decided that she wanted to improve the mood of the family and, typically, offered us some candies ;-)
The summer of 2014 was exceedingly rainy and cold and after that hike I got a half-bronchitis; nevertheless this photo stirs warm memories of a time when our sons were still almost out of their teen years and life was a bit nicer and simpler ;-)
Hope that you will enjoy it!
Dear friends, what are we doing in times when we are not allowed to travel? We can take photos around our home - sure. I guess we all do this - till we cannot see anything new any more, right? And then we remember the great times where we have been at the most wonderful places that are right now and possibly forever totally out of reach - full of desire. Such a place is Machu Picchu for me - a magic place and a place that I had the chance to visit exactly one year before.
We were fifteen people in our group last year - great folks and we are still in contact. And one of us had the idea to start with a kind of diary from our tour to South America in our WhatsApp group. So we start each day with a short summary of what we experienced that day and everybody contribute with photos, comments and memories - and so we are virtually travelling back to the past and redo our tour again...and are happy about all the little things that we thought we have forgotten and can now enjouy again...
That's also the reason why I am posting these photos now here on flickr and hope to take you with me a bit along that journey...
Take care and stay healthy, Werner
Liebe Freunde, was machen wir in Zeiten, in denen wir nicht reisen dürfen? Wir können Fotos rund um unser Zuhause machen - sicher. Ich denke, wir alle machen das - bis wir nichts Neues mehr finden können, oder? Und dann erinnern wir uns an die großartigen Zeiten, in denen wir an den schönsten Orten waren, die jetzt und möglicherweise für immer völlig unerreichbar sind - voller Sehnsucht. Ein solcher Ort ist für mich Machu Picchu - ein magischer Ort und ein Ort, den ich genau vor einem Jahr besuchen durfte.
Wir waren fünfzehn Leute in unserer Gruppe - großartige Menschen und wir sind immer noch in Kontakt. Und einer von uns hatte die Idee, mit einer Art Tagebuch von unserer Tour nach Südamerika in unserer WhatsApp-Gruppe zu beginnen. So beginnen wir jeden Tag mit einer kurzen Zusammenfassung dessen, was wir an diesem Tag erlebt haben, und alle tragen mit Fotos, Kommentaren und Erinnerungen dazu bei - und so reisen wir praktisch zurück in die Vergangenheit und wiederholen unsere Tour erneut ... und freuen uns über all die kleinen Dinge, von denen wir dachten, dass wir sie schon vergessen hätten und können sie jetzt wieder genießen...
Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich diese Fotos jetzt hier auf Flickr poste und hoffe, Euch auf dieser Reise ein wenig mitnehmen zu können ...
Passt auf euch auf und bleibt gesund, Werner

The caption states "Flooded Street" but it's not flooded, just very wet! What is remarkable is the stream of cars coming down the street in Glenties. What was going on? Was it a funeral or were the politicians in town?
