Detail of One Pool Street, part of the UCL East campus in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Designed by architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands and completed in 2022.
The foreground is just fabulous - the colour from the winter sunshine brings out all the details perfectly...
One day, I hope to get a photo of a puffin with a series of fish tucked into its beak, bringing them home to feed their young. On my recent visit to the east coast, I didn't see evidence of that behaviour. Perhaps the babes hadn't hatched out yet.
To help it catch and hold up to 10 small fish at a time, the Atlantic puffin has a few tools at its disposal. First, their colourful beak is long enough to hold the fish. Next, the birds have a series of protrusions from the roof of its mouth. These denticles point back, towards the throat, acting like little hooks to keep captured fish from slipping away. Another important tool is their tongue, which can be pressed up against the denticles to retain the fish it has already caught and then open its beak to catch more fish. Very cool!
Seek, and you will find. It amazes me how certain elements within nature just come together. Its kinda like peanut butter and jelly. I scouted this area out for sometime when I came across this section of mud tiles that caught my eye. I noticed that this small section had the perfect pyramid formation that pointed straight out into the badlands.
Hope all you guys out there are doing well. Summer is almost over! YAY!!!!! Stay cool out, the fall is almost here.
Lots of new images coming soon!!! Peace and Love.
