Gannets are large seabirds, with long, tapered bodies, long, angular, pointed wings, pointed tails and dagger-like, pointed bills.
They feed by diving into the sea for fish. Only one species is regularly seen in the UK but a few other kinds are found, mostly in tropical seas, around the world. Photo's taken at Troup head near Banff, Scotland
Not my best shot, but a must after my last post, where I wrote that star trails are caused by earth rotation (angular motion).
Of course any rotation of the camera will lead to circular star trails. You can therefore also rotate your mount to achieve the effect. That's what happened here when I initiated a turn with my flying mount.
You can see the turning path in the cloud cover below, while the roll caused the star trails.

Y esto es lo que quedó de la tupida tormenta que nos retrasó hoy por la ciudad de Río Tercero.
Cuando salí del trabajo, en Almafuerte, estaba lloviendo a baldes, estaba cayendo granizo y como si fuera poco relámpagos a metros. Todo el pueblo inundado. Tuvimos demoras en el tránsito por ruta por inundación. Al final termine llegando a las 19:30 a mi casa entre rayos y la inundación jejejeje Había calles competas con agua de vereda a vereda :-S
Ni bien cayó la última gota, y aún en ausencia de mi hermana y compañera de caza tormentas, salí hasta la ruta de tráfico pesado en busca de algo, y esto es lo mejor que pude conseguir.

VER EN TAMAÑO GRANDE!!!
El castell de Carcassona. Fou reforçat molt especialment ja sota domini reial, mentre que quan fou la residencia dels Trencavell no sembla que fés tanta por una revolta de la població, per què sera? ;-)
La ciutat medieval de Carcassona és sense cap mena de dubte un dels més impressionants nuclis medievals d'Europa, tot i que part d'aquesta espectacularitat és una reconstrucció amb certa fantasia de finals del s. XIX. Amb tot, la gran majoria de les fortificacions son originals d'entre els segles IV i XIV. El conjunt és part del Patrimoni Mundial de la UNESCO.

===============================================
This is Carcassonne castle, in it's final form as a royal position. In the Trencavel times, the castle was much less fortified inwards, looking towards the people of Carcassonne.
The fortified Occitan medieval city and castle of Carcassonne, now in southern France, it's one of the most spectacular locations in all Europe. In a hill above the Aude river, it is protected by two walls and inside it lays the castle. Part of it's charm was "created" in the reconstruction of the XIX Century, but anyway most of the fortifications are real, dating from late-roman and medieval times. It's part of UNESCO World Heritage, and several movies have been filmed there, like Les Visiteurs or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
In Madrid for 24 hours on business, but I managed to slip away just long enough to take some shots of the leaning towers of the Puerta de Europa. The two towers lean toward each other at a 15º angle; this is the Caja Madrid building and the sunset behind it, reflected in the windows of the Realia building.
