Active Weekly May 31st - June 7th: Illusion
Illusion is defined as something which deceives by making a false or misleading impression of reality. I want you to take this however you'd like. I love seeing a variety of photos. This could be an optical illusion or just something that may not be what it seems. You could even make a short story in your description to go along with your picture to explain what makes it an illusion (For example: having a picture of an innocent looking child and then explain that they are in fact a highly dangerous assassin). Get creative and have some fun!
WIT: I had to try this one. Its called a Penrose triangle. I was inspired by a version of this built with dice. I didn't have enough dice so I used some wooden blocks. This is a combination of two images merged together in PSE. The photoshop work took a few more steps than in should have because I wasn't exact enough in my set up of the blocks. i was close, but not close enough. Cropped and a curve adjustment layer added to boost contrast.
Look closely to spot this well-camouflaged female Northern Flicker at her nest in Montpelier, Idaho. Flickers are woodpeckers that nest in cavities they excavate in trees. I was very lucky to spot this hole, and learned that it was an active nest after waiting a few minutes for the bird to arrive.

I originally posted this DJI Mavic 2 Pro Drone image panorama to my photostream on July 2nd 2021 even though I knew there was some badly aligned trees in the original panoramic image.
I decided to have another crack at it and this time downloaded all 26 images that made up the panorama. I submitted all the images to Microsoft Image Composite Editor (MSICE) and after a little playing around was able to correct most of the poor alignments which existed in the previous image.
This image, straight out of MSICE before editing with Luminar AI, was pretty big being 26160 X 7971.
I then submitted the image to Luminar AI but the image could not be saved without significantly downsizing the long edge to just 1500 while retaining the side edge at 7971. This is a major flaw in Luminar AI IMHO and one that many have sought to have corrected. So far Luminar has rejected all approaches to make this change.
Despite the faults in the original image it was somehow quite popular having recorded 417 views, 17 favs and 5 comments as at 12th July 2021 when I replaced it with this Version 2 image..
The area depicted in the image is a replanted area following the drought of 2019. This area was at that time completely covered by many tall Archontophoenix cunninghamiana - Bangalow Palms.
They all died in the 2019 drought and a program of removal and replanting was carried out beginning with the breaking of the long drought on February 8th 2020.
With all the Bangalow Palms gone the area was planted out over several months from February-March of 2020 with hardy dry and subtropical large rainforest trees.
Part of the area, which became known as Cove 19, was used as a place to burn the massive assemblage of Bangalow Palm fronds which had become a terrifying fire risk during the drought of 2019.
Most of the planting was done during the first Covid 19 lockdowns in Australia from March 2020 which arose out of the bungled Ruby Princess Cruise ship passenger evacuation which set off a major contact tracing exercise to locate where all the opportunistically released passengers had gone to after disembarkation.
With regular nightly campfires it wasn't long before our neighbours began to join us, socially distanced of course, around these campfires.
With Donald Trump actively encouraging QAnon and other conspiracy theories during this period many such theories gained a foothold not just in the USA but also in Australia, some even perpetuated by our own then conservative government ministers.
As we sat around the campfire in early 2020 many of these conspiracy theories became the subject of discussions so it was an easy choice when we renamed the forest area here "The Forest of Conspiracy". The circular walking track which defines the area became known as "Fake News Loop".
The use of a drone to capture this shot was something I had previously contemplated however I did not have the skills to do so given the risks posed by the dense vegetation in the area.
This panorama image, (Version 2) was actually taken by my son using a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. He has kindly allowed me to post it to my Flickr photostream.

Lake Taisho, set against the backdrop of an active volcanic vista, Kamikochi, Japan:
Today, after 5months' absence, I trekked here, wearing crampons, yet turned out I didn't have to, to Lake Taisho, Kamikochi. Took only some 60minutes hitting here from a local bus stop, called Nakanoyu, so no big deal coming here. There was nothing that could be hoped for more, weather- and view-wise, today: 'Yeee-Hawww1'

A nature walk was cut short by the neverending stream of thunderstorms. Going in danger's way can provide some good photo opportunities however. We left before the lightning came very close
I've chosen the theme natural abstract for my photography project. I thought that I better get taking some photos as I haven't been active very recently!
NASA image captured April 3-5, 2011
Cascades of spiraling magnetic loops observed in extreme ultraviolet light by SDO danced and twisted above an active region on the Sun (Apr. 3-5, 2011). These loops are charged particles spinning along the magnetic field lines, and thus visually revealing them. The bright active region was fairly strong and the activity persistent, though not explosive. At one point darker plasma can be seen being pulled back and forth across the region's center.

This particular night was so active, incredibly this is just a 30s shot. The bolts were coming down everywhere. The winds just in front of this system were very strong, at one stage I had to hop into my car, and hope to god my camera rig was sheltered enough not to get knocked over.
Now it's winter, I'm just waiting for next spring-summer so I can get back out into the wheatbelt and beyond.
Great spot for the portion of the year where the sunlight is on this side of the tracks in the morning and late afternoon, the wall of trees does an fantastic job of hiding the substation and the greater wall of haze that looms over the Inland Empire on the daily. As the Spirit of The Union Pacific continues it's brisk climb up the west slope of Beaumont Hill.

Baia das Pedras, Southern Pantanal | Brazil
The Pantanal is home to four different armadillo species, ranging in size from the extremely elusive and very rarely seen giant armadillo which spends virtually all its life underground through to the small three-banded variety. Between these two species are the six-banded, which can be seen during the day, and the nine-banded which will generally only be seen at night by torchlight. Also called the Yellow Armadillo, the Six-banded Armadillo favours open ground where it lives in burrows. It will excavates everywhere if the ground is right, leaving some areas like minefields littered with mounds and holes. It’s solitary and although active by day is extremely difficult to see. If you are lucky enough to spot one they are usually lying in the entrance of their burrow and at the slightest sign of danger they will bolt back in. However, if you’re very patient, you may see one travelling between burrows or hunting for food. And, if you’re very lucky, you may just see one standing up in order to get a better view of its surroundings.

Taken at Arenal Observatory Lodge in Costa Rica - a very intriguing place - basically a lodge near the base of a volcano. A very active volcano. The coolest thing would be to see it erupt at night when it would send car-sized boulders of hot lava into the air which would then break up into little bike-sized boulders as it came tumbling down the rocks. Funny place - the big attraction is the volcano, not the wildlife. I was working with the front desk one morning (trying to fax home) when a lady from the states comes to the desk and says, "Excuse me, could you tell me what time the volcano will erupt?".
Just got my flash back from the Canon wizard repair shop. Awesome. If you haven't heard it from me already - Canon service absolutely rocks. Fixed my flash for a very reasonable fee, and put on a new cover to boot (my old one had lots of little plastic burn/melt holes from the better beamer working backwards and frying any ants crawling on my flash!).
Italien / Piemont - Nationalpark Val Grande
On the way from the Capella Fina to the Rifugio Pian Cavallone.
Auf dem Weg von der Capella Fina zum Rifugio Pian Cavallone.
Val Grande National Park (Italian: Parco Nazionale della Val Grande) is a protected area located in Piedmont, in the north of Italy, at the border with Switzerland. It is most notable for landscapes of the High Alps.
Geography
The park is located in Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and is shared between ten municipalities: Aurano, Beura-Cardezza, Caprezzo, Cossogno, Valle Cannobina, Intragna, Malesco, Miazzina, Premosello-Chiovenda, San Bernardino Verbano, Santa Maria Maggiore, Trontano, and Vogogna.
The park lies entirely in the drainage basin of the Po River. It is located between the valley of Vigezzo in the north, the Cannobina valley in the northwest, the valley of Ossola in the southwest, and Lake Maggiore in the southeast. The park is not populated and is often described as "the largest wilderness in the Alps"
Val Grande and Val Pogallo, two principal valleys inside the park, with the former running southeast and the latter running south, feed the two major rivers in the park. These valleys join into Torrente San Bernardino, a tributary of Lake Maggiore. The majority of the area of the park is forested.
History
Shepherds populated Val Grande since at least the 13th century, and the timber production was active since the 15th century. However, at the end of World War II all population left the area, following the actions of German troops against the Italian resistance in the area in June 1944. The idea to create a national park in Val Grande dates back to 1953. In 1967, the area was designated a Strict Nature Reserve and became the first conservation area with this status in the Italian Alps. In 1974, the Association Italia Nostra developed a detailed plan to establish a national park, and, in the 1980s, the preparation started. The park was established on March 2, 1992. On June 24, 1998 the area of the park was extended.
Tourism
As of 2012, the park had three visitor centers (located in Santa Maria Maggiore, Cossogno, and Premosello-Chiovenda), two museums, and a number of nature itineraries, which should be followed accompanied by a guide.

Der Nationalpark Val Grande (italienisch Parco nazionale della Val Grande) ist ein Nationalpark in den norditalienischen Alpen, nahe der Schweiz. Er liegt zwischen dem Lago Maggiore und dem Val d’Ossola in der piemontesischen Provinz Verbano-Cusio-Ossola und ist 146 km² groß.
Im westlichen Teil des Parks liegt seine namengebende Kernzone, das schwer zugängliche Val Grande. Der östliche Teil besteht aus dem offeneren Val Pogallo und einigen angrenzenden Gebieten.
Das Gebiet des Felsenmassivs Pedum wurde 1967 zur Riserva naturale integrale (Totalreservat) erklärt. Nach mehreren Initiativen lokaler Gruppen und des Umweltministers in den 1980er Jahren wurde schließlich 1992 der Parco Nazionale della Valgrande geschaffen.
Die einzigen Ortschaften im Nationalpark sind Cicogna im Val Pogallo und Colloro am südwestlichen Rand des Parks. Der größte Teil des Nationalparks war nie ganzjährig bewohnt. Es wurde jedoch intensive Almwirtschaft betrieben, bis in die 1950er Jahre auch Waldwirtschaft. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden bis in die 1970er Jahre sämtliche Almen aufgegeben, im Val Grande selbst bis 1969. Nachdem der Verbiss durch die Weidetiere fehlt, wandeln sich die ehemaligen Almen allmählich zur Wildnis.
Erst nach Gründung des Nationalparks begann ein bescheidener Tourismus. Abgesehen von etlichen frei zugänglichen Steinhäusern ist kaum touristische Infrastruktur vorhanden. Außer den Zufahrten nach Cicogna und Colloro existieren keine ausgebauten Straßen.
Geographie
Val Grande
Das Val Grande ist etwa 25 Kilometer lang, der größte Teil davon ist unbewohnt und liegt im Nationalpark Val Grande (Parco Nazionale della Valgrande). Der Hauptfluss des Val Grande ist der Torrente San Bernardino, er entspringt am Monte Togano (2301 m s.l.m.) und fließt in Intra/Verbania in den Lago Maggiore (193 m s.l.m.). Sieben stark bewaldete und ursprüngliche Seitentäler bilden den oberen Teil des Val Grande. Mancherorts finden sich noch Überreste der einstigen Alpwirtschaft.
Im Zentrum des oberen Val Grande steht der Pizzo Mottac (1802 m s.l.m.). An dessen Fuß liegen die Alpen In La Piana und Gabbio. Der mittlere Bereich ist eine wilde Schlucht ohne Wanderweg. Steile Wälder und Felsbänder prägen diesen Abschnitt. Der unterste Teil des Val Grande ist ab Ponte Casletto mit einer schmalen Straße, die nach Cicogna führt, erschlossen. Darin liegen die Ortschaften Rovegro, Cossogno, Santino, Unchio und Trobaso.
Das Val Grande gilt als das größte Wildnisgebiet im Alpenraum.
Die Vegetation besteht in den Tälern aus Kastanien- und Buchenwäldern. Bis 1800 m s.l.m. reicht dichter Bewuchs. Darüber findet sich Grasheide mit Erlensträuchern in geschützten Lagen.
Die Seitentäler des oberen Val Grande heißen Val Gabbio, Val Serena, Valle Rossa, Val Ragozzale, Val Portaiola, Val Biordo und Vallone di Loc. Im mittleren Val Grande heißen die Seitentäler Val Fredda, Val Piana und Val Cauri.
Val Pogallo
Beim Ponte Casletto treffen sich Val Pogallo und Val Grande. Das Val Pogallo ist bewohnt und besser erschlossen. Zur Blütezeit der Holzwirtschaft wurde ein teils mit großen Steinplatten sehr gut ausgebauter Weg von Cicogna aus erbaut. Dieser Weg wurde später nach dem Gründer der Holzgesellschaft und vielseitigen Industriellen Carlo Sutermeister benannt und wird als Strada Sutermeister bezeichnet. Gerne nutzen ihn als einen der schönsten leichten Wege Wanderer von Cicogna aus. Das einstige Holzfällerdorf Pogallo war zwischenzeitlich komplett verfallen. Nach und nach wurden viele der Steinhäuser wieder instand gesetzt. Mitglieder des Vereines Associazzione Amici di Pogallo pflegen das Dorf, das von Cicogna aus über eine 1,5 Stunden lange Wanderung erreichbar ist. Der Weg ist ein Sentiero Natura mit Infotafeln des Nationalparkes und führt auch an einer Badestelle vorbei.
Geschichte
Zur Römerzeit scheint das Val Grande besiedelt gewesen zu sein. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert begannen die Bewohner der umliegenden Täler die Alpwirtschaft auf das Val Grande auszudehnen.
Mit der Industrialisierung ergab sich eine Abwanderung aus den Bergtälern und die Alpwirtschaft wurde bereits stellenweise aufgegeben. Im Val Grande wurde 1969 die letzte Alp der Natur überlassen.
Im mittleren und unteren Val Grande hinterließ die Holzwirtschaft in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ihre Spuren, als ein verzweigtes Netz von Seilbahnen errichtet wurde. In dieser Zeit wurden in Pogallo, Orfalecchio, Arca und an anderen Orten Wohn- und Wirtschaftsgebäude errichtet.
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gründeten antifaschistische Partisanen die Repubblica dell’Ossola. Nachdem alliierte Truppen bereits Rom eingenommen hatten, wurden die Partisanen von Soldaten Mussolinis und der deutschen Wehrmacht vertrieben und zogen sich ins Gebiet des Val Grande zurück. Im Juli 1944 unternahm die deutsche SS mit Einheiten der faschistischen Repubblica Sociale Italiana eine Durchkämmung (Rastrellamento), um gegen Kämpfer der Resistenza in den Bergen vorzugehen. Dabei wurden ca. 500 Menschen getötet. Darunter wurden viele Opfer grausamer Hinrichtungen der Faschisten.
Wie die Zeitzeugin Antonietta Chiovini berichtete, wurden auf dem kargen Gipfel bei der Kapelle von Marona von der Waffen-SS zwölf Partisanen gestellt, die den Feind von der eigenen Brigade ablenken wollten. Um Munition zu sparen, wurden die jungen Männer halbtot geschlagen, bevor sie den Abhang hinunter gestoßen wurden.
Beim Beschuss der Bergsiedlungen wurden viele Gebäude und die zum Abtransport gefällter Bäume dienenden Seilbahnen zerstört. Der Verlust der Infrastruktur trug zum Rückzug des Menschen aus dem Gebiet um das Val Grande bei.
Wanderrouten
Im oberen Teil existiert ein gut ausgebauter und markierter Weg von Malesco über die Alpe Scaredi, In La Piana, Gabbio und Alpe della Colma nach Premosello (in diesen erwähnten Alpen stehen kostenlose und sehr einfach eingerichtete Hütten zur Verfügung). Abseits dieser Route gibt es nur wenige und schlechter erkennbare markierte Wege. Die meisten alten Pfade sind verschwunden. Mobilfunkempfang gibt es fast im gesamten oberen Val Grande nicht.

Here’s my latest gal to move into the Sindy house; – My 1976 Active Ballerina Sindy, another favourite doll from childhood, with that interesting ‘double-cup’ waist and ball-jointed wrists that were on the earlier versions (and yes, I am super careful with dressing and posing her because of those joints!) I love her super pale, almost platinum blonde hair colour and her very sweet face, and even though the seller said otherwise, her ankles still bend perfectly. It’s become an unintentional ritual of mine that if I don’t get a Sindy in her original outfit, her first shot will be wearing that favourite logo T-shirt and some Mix & Match slacks! LOL
She is sitting on the 1977 Scenesetter kitchen stools that I also just got. This set was described in the Pedigree trade catalogue as a “Sindy pocket money play situation”. You probably can’t see it in the photo, but these were detailed with a Sindy “S” logo on the cross-bar supporting the legs. Funtime Sindy in her 1976 ‘Cook In’ outfit and June (redressed in a funkier chocolate brown and sunshine yellow outfit created from items from the 1979 Mix & Match range, with a long chunky knitted wool scarf in her hair that the seller also threw in with the lot) are welcoming the new gal to their house.

This guy was actively feeding, running through the water, and swinging his feed from side to side as is their want to do.
So, getting his head in focus is more or less a thing of chance where focus on the body and time the shutter lag to catch the head as it swings through focus on it's way past the body.
