The active volcano is the Sabancaya, a 5,976-metre-high stratovolcano in the Andes of southern Peru, about 70 kilometres northwest of Arequipa. It is considered part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, one of the three distinct volcanic belts of the Andes.
From a perch somewhere in your yard, a bird repeatedly utters a noisy call: “ta-whichity, ta-whichity, ta-whichity.” High in energy, this little brown bird with a stubby, rounded tail and a conspicuous white stripe over its eye is constantly on the move, stopping only briefly to sing. This bird shows little fear of humans, and, if you make no sudden moves or noise, may perch within a few feet of you. It also is bold, and may scold or chase your cat—but from a safe distance. If you have a bird with these qualities, you likely are sharing your yard with the charismatic Carolina Wren, which also inhabits wild environments throughout Florida. This songbird is in the family Troglodytidae (wrens) within the order Passeriformes (perching birds), and has 10 relatives in North America—5 of which also are found in Florida. The Carolina Wren is the largest of the Florida wrens. All species of the North American wren family are small, brownish in plumage coloration (sexes similar), and very active. In the wild, Carolina Wrens may live up to 6 years of age.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
Cowhands drove a herd of angus cattle toward summer range near Maudlow, Montana. Ranching is still very active in many rural areas of Montana and other western states.

In the floodplains of the Rhine, near the Gelderse village of Doorwerth, lies the famous Doorwerth castle. It has a long history, many renovations and even more noble residents. Including a remarkable woman, about whom a well-known novel has been written.
To get to know the first of those inhabitants we have to go back to the Middle Ages. Ridder Berend van Dorenweerd built a castle here on the banks of the Rhine around 1250. It was not very big yet: the structure consisted of one residential tower and was made of wood.
It has not been there for a long time. In 1260, the Count of Gelre, ruler of the area, ordered the tower to be set on fire. Knight Berend had to be punished for his predatory and violent actions in levying tolls on shipping traffic on the Rhine.
In 1280, a descendant of knight Berend rebuilt the tower. Over the years it has been enlarged a bit.
The most famous name associated with Doorwerth Castle is that of Charlotte Sophie van Aldenburg Bentinck (1715-1800). As a descendant of Anton Count of Aldenburg, she was for a short time the wife of William Count Bentinck (1704-1774), castle lord of Doorwerth.
She was an unusual woman at the time: independent, feminist and impulsive. She led an active love life and was a welcome guest at European royal courts.
Traveled and learned as she was, she maintained an exchange of letters with none other than the great French thinker and writer Voltaire (1694-1778). The writer Hella Haasse (1918-2011) recorded her story in the book Mevrouw Bentinck. Incompatibility of Character & The Great Ones (1978).
Finally, an interesting detail that is also given some attention in the castle. Kasteel Doorwerth has built up quite a reputation as a haunted castle among paranormal believers. For a long time there has been talk of ghosts and white wives who would wander around here. In 2004 British researchers - according to their own words - recorded a ghost on video here.

It was raining today and between storms I went to see what was happening. It was crazy changing light conditions and the hummingbirds were super active.
We enjoyed watching the float planes coming and going amongst the boats in Ganges Harbor on Saltspring Island, Canada. We also liked hiking, kayaking and a active arts-and-crafts scene.

My buddy and I decided to punch in the Great Gray Owl cheat code and flew to Minnesota. I got a tip from a Flickr friend and some other tidbits of insider news elsewhere. This was taken on our first day with the light snow falling. Only one owl actively hunting on this day. Next day three were hunting simultaneously. Took lots of shots. Saw about 8 or so GGO on our trip. Overall an amazing experience with these guys and the only battle was the minus temps. It got to as low as -24 one day!

The robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories.
The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, spring song is far more powerful in males.
Robins are adapted to life in poor light and are often active in half-light when few other birds are about. They tend to be among the earliest birds to start the dawn chorus and one of the last to stop in the evening
Active little bird of shrubbery, hedges, and gardens, mainly in the Andes, but down to coast in northern Chile and Peru. Usually in pairs or family groups and not with mixed-species flocks. Feeds low to high at fruit and flowers, rarely staying still long and often hidden in foliage. Grayish overall with variable buffy wash to underparts. Best identified by white eyebrow, sharply pointed bill, and small white wing flash; no other species in range looks very similar.
Santa Eulalia, Peru. October 2018.
The past few days has presented me with some awesome viewing of many species but the weather has not cooperated at all! I counted 14 males and I have no idea how many females have been present and enjoying the bird feeders!

Kunta Kinteh Island, formerly James Island, is an island in the Gambia River, 30 km from the river mouth and near Juffureh in the country of the Gambia. Fort James is located on the island. It is less than two miles from Albreda on the river's northern bank.
As an important historical site in the West African slave trade, it is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with related sites including Albreda, Juffureh and Fort Bullen. James Island is suffering heavy erosion, and is now approximately 1/6 of the size during the time when the fort was active. Ruins of several of the British administrative buildings (including a single cell, apparently used to house the most troublesome captives), a small jetty and a number of skeletal baobab trees remain. The ruins have been stabilised and protected by a capping. Because the island is low-lying, during high tide and storms sometimes waves will beat against some of the surviving structures.
Kunta Kinte, a character described in Alex Haley's book and TV series Roots, has become associated with James Island. He was one of 98 slaves that in 1767 the slave ship Lord Ligonier brought to Annapolis, Maryland.

The American Goldfinch is the only member of the finch family that undergoes any plumage changes during the year. Their plumage becomes less colourful in fall and winter.
They prefer a habitat of open country where they can forage on the many weed seeds they consume with some brush and trees nearby for shelter and nesting. Other than the breeding season they are very social and will flock with numerous other species.
Being the very active and acrobatic little songbirds they are we often see them clinging to weed seed heads especially thistles. Because they are heavy seed eaters they nest later in the summer than other species supposedly so they have a plentiful supply of late summer seeds for their chicks. Their young mature very quickly leaving the nest in only 11 to 17 days after hatching.
Another very different location on the northern section of the Trans-Mongolian Railway. Geographically, this area features a unique mix of terrain… rivers, mountains, pine forests, and sand. At times it resembles the Gobi, while in other moments it feels more like an oasis ️

Grey was the color of the day today. The clouds promised rain....and so did the forecast. However, we got our bikes out for a long cycle along Georgian Bay to end a relaxing Labour Day weekend. We had not a drop of rain. We did see this laker in the harbor which was a nice surprise. We haven't seen any ships in the harbor all summer! The Cuyahoga is the second oldest Canadian registered laker that is still active on the Great Lakes.
This active little bird—rare for our area—-has caused quite a stir this week on the Bob Jones trail here in Avila Beach. Lots of birders with lots of patience!
The Church of the Veil was built in Ploske village of Svaliavskyi district in Zakarpatska Region in 1792. In 1920th it was transported to Kanora village near Volovets. In Ploske the church was devoted to the Holy Virgin, and in Kanora – to Her Veil. The locals say that in the new place it has been re-mounted by masters from Rekity village. This church is a sample of a lemky church of 18th Century, almost ideal in shape.
The building is double-logged, has three floors and is made of ash and oak beams (14 – 40 cm). The angles are made in dovetail technique. The church is unique for unequal height of its lobed domes: the lowest one is above the sanctuary, the lower one – above its nave, and the highest, bell-tower is over narthex. A gallery with small engraved columns comes along its frontal and side facades.
Original iconostation of the church was not preserved: only a part of apostolic row, two patron icings and details of the iconostation’s engraving. From 2005 to 2009 the iconostation was restored. It was put in place by a brigade of engravers from Lviv, headed by Grygoriy Petryshchak. Art painting was fulfilled by an artist Oleksandr Okhapkin.
The church is active; church services of a Ukrainian Greek-Catholics are run here.
Total area of the church is 134 square meters.

401Da-314 hauls EP05-23 through the Staszica settlement in Pruszków, as preparations for the 2024 night of museums.
Recently, while browsing throught Philipp's gallery I came across his picture of the M62-0023 with a prefab settlement in the background. Then I remembered that I have one more pic to show from the transport of EP05-23 for the night of museums, utilising a similar subject.
What I didn't mention in my last posts about my only visit on the WKD is that the unelectrified connecting track between Komorów and Pruszków was proposed to be upgraded to serve the role of a normal commuter rail line.
Pruszów is one of the largest cities in the Warsaw metro area and it has two active passenger rail lines, but neither of them passes through the most densely populated areas. Activating the unelectrified track connecting PKP PLK and WKD would mean that citizens get almost direct access to railways at their doorstep.
However, as always, due to many difficulties, like:
-lack of funding
-level crossing avery couple of meters
-noise pollution
-a fire brigade positioned directly on the railway tracks (soon in one of my next posts)
-lack of diesel units in WKD
-and others
the project was never finalised.

On one of those early spring mornings when moisture from ground thaw creates a misty appearance over the farm fields and a haziness to the sky, eastbound Burlington Northern train 104 is approaching Rochelle, Illinois.
The BN 3513 GP40M leader was formerly a CB&Q locomotive, so it would already have traveled over this same route a countless number of times, and as of this posting it was still active on the BNSF roster as their #3012. - April 13th, 1990 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
Tungurahua, Ecuador's 10th-highest peak, is a 5016m high active stratovolcano also known as the "The Black Giant." It has a 600 ft. (183 m) wide crater. Most of the volcano is covered by snow.
Don't be fooled by descriptions of this mountain as "easy." People have died on this mountain and you need to be in good physical condition to climb it and enjoy it.
It is nowadays dangerous to climb (since 1999) as its increased volcanic activity has unpredictable eruptions as a consequence. You do not want to be caught on the volcano when major explosions of gases, ashes and lava occur.
When the volcano increased its activity in 1999, the ice cap melted away and the peak is since then ice free.
In spite of this many people still attempt to climb the volcano. ALWAYS check with locals about the mountains condition.
