Three greylag geese in tight formation above the Ismaninger Speichersee, east basin.
The Ismaninger Speichersee is a reservoir in the north of Munich, built in 1929 to regulate the water flow for the run-of-the-river power plants along the Isar Canal.
The reservoir and the adjacent fish ponds are a nature reserve (Europareservat) and an Important Bird Area (IBA).

Hard drive find from one of the most remote places in the American Southwest in new processing:
In the late afternoon, after 61 miles (98 km) of gravel road, we reached Toroweap Point on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Before I set up the tent on the primitive campsite, I used the beautiful light to explore the area with the camera.
Festplattenfund von einem der abgelegensten Orte des amerikanischen Südwestens in neuer Bearbeitung:
am späten Nachmittag erreichten wir nach 98 km Schotterpiste den Toroweap Point am Nordrand des Grand Canyon. Bevor ich das Zelt auf dem primitiven Campingplatz aufstellte nutzte ich das schöne Licht, um die Umgebung etwas mit der Kamera zu erkunden.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Jökulsárgljúfur National Park is a former national park situated in the north of Iceland around the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum. It lies to the north of the Dettifoss waterfall. On 7 June 2008, it became a part of the larger Vatnajökull National Park
The area is of interest because of its chaotic canyon and volcanic mountains. Eight thousand years ago, volcanic fissures of the Askja volcanic system erupted directly underneath the river and glacial ice. This caused explosions and chaotic flooding.
The center of the park was Vesturdalur with Hljóðaklettar (rock of echoes). Rauðhólar (red mountain) is of interest because of its special colouring due to iron oxidations. Another sight is the canyon of Ásbyrgi to the north of the park which is formed like a horseshoe.
I processed a few more photos from my vacation to Bryce so thought I may as well post another. I promise not to post another 25 of them:-))).

Another Lifer from beautiful Southern California.
Here is another beautiful bird passing through this wonderful place and since it was California's spring wildflowers lined the hills.
Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a medieval town first named in 1294 and received it's city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1383. Because of these rights the citizens were allowed to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications didn't last long however because a part of the town was destroyed in 1427 in a war between two rival Bishops and the wall was never rebuilt. It was originally a very important fishing villiage since it was part of a wide, open valley of the river Eem. Their main catch was paling, which is still a favorite of the Dutch today.
A century after Bunschoten was first mentioned, the settlement of Spakenburg developed. Originally the two towns were separated by a river inlet but much has happened in their history to change the lay of the land. Because of the location on the coast of what was then the Zuiderzee (a shallow bay on the Northsea), many floods inundated the area which caused the towns to become isolated.
So dikes were built to hold back the sea and stay the floods, this also caused new land to be created behind the dikes, this land (polder in Dutch) was often below sealevel and needed drainage and pumps to remain dry even if the dikes held, a big disadvantage of the dikes was that it limited access to the sea.
In the early 1900's the prosperous fishing harbor boasted over 200 ships but the closing of the "Zuiderzee" after the floods 1916 and further reclaiming of land after that period brought an end to that. No commercial fishing is now done from this area but heritage wooden vessels are still being built and repaired here.

Unfortunately, the spruces on the Herikerberg and the surrounding area have been seriously affected by an insect called the European spruce bark beetle. The spruces have weakened after a storm in January 2018 and the subsequent dry summers of 2018 and 2019.
Under these circumstances the trees could not defend themselves well against the bark beetle plague, which caused the death of trees on a large scale.
The affected dead trees are removed for safety and to prevent further spread of the bark beetle.
The felled forests will be replanted and will continue to be maintained as forest.
Helaas zijn de fijnsparren op de Herikerberg en omgeving ernstig aangetast door een insect, genaamd de letterzetter (een kever). De fijnsparren zijn na een storm van januari 2018 en de daarop volgende droge zomers van 2018 en 2019 verzwakt.
Onder deze omstandigheden konden de bomen zich niet goed verweren tegen de letterzetterplaag waardoor op grote schaal bomen zijn afgestorven.
De aangetaste en dode bomen worden weggehaald uit veiligheid en om verdere verspreiding van de letterzetter tegen te gaan.
De gekapte bossen zullen weer opnieuw worden ingeplant en gewoon verder als bos in stand worden gehouden.

Audubon’s Oriole is primarily a species of both coasts of Mexico, with a small population in southern Texas, USA. This individual was seen at the Salineno Birding Area near the Rio Grande, in keeping with a preference for riparian areas.
The other day we drove down to Elk Rapids to a Walk in the Park. Nice to be out side too. Packed a lunch and although it was cool we sat in the car had lunch and enjoyed this view.
A friend captured this Hawk with his phone camera. The hawk had swooped down and captured a squirrel to feed upon high in this tree. My friend said he was honored to get this shot. This bird of prey was “Watching The Area” intently when spotting the squirrel. Thanks for viewing this work. Stay kind.
