🇫🇷 Les Girafes du Nord utilisent leur cou comme arme de combat, un comportement connu sous le nom de "necking". Ce comportement sert à établir la domination et les mâles qui gagnent les combats de cou ont un plus grand succès reproductif. Les girafes broutent pendant les premières et dernières heures de la journée. Entre ces heures, les Girafes du Nord restent debout et ruminent. La rumination est l'activité dominante pendant la nuit, où elle s'effectue principalement en position couchée.
🇬🇧 Northern giraffes use their necks as weapons in combat, a behaviour known as ‘necking’. This behaviour serves to establish dominance, and males that win neck-fighting contests enjoy greater reproductive success. Giraffes graze during the early and late hours of the day. In between, Northern giraffes remain standing and ruminate. Rumination is the dominant activity at night, when it is carried out mainly whilst lying down.
🇩🇪 Nördliche Giraffen nutzen ihren Hals als Kampfwaffe, ein Verhalten, das als „Necking“ bekannt ist. Dieses Verhalten dient dazu, Dominanz zu etablieren, und Männchen, die bei diesen Halskämpfen siegen, sind fortpflanzungsbiologisch erfolgreicher. Giraffen weiden in den frühen und späten Morgen- und Abendstunden. Dazwischen stehen die Nördlichen Giraffen aufrecht da und wiederkäuen. Das Wiederkäuen ist die vorherrschende Tätigkeit während der Nacht, wobei dies hauptsächlich im Liegen geschieht.

The Plaza Murillo is the central plaza of the city of La Paz and the open space most connected to the political life of Bolivia. Prominent buildings on the plaza include the Presidential Palace, National Congress of Bolivia, and the Cathedral of La Paz (or more formally, the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, La Paz). It is located in the old town, or Casco Viejo, of the city and is surrounded by Socabaya Street to the west, Ayacucho Street to the east, Comercio Street to the south, and a continuation of Ingavi and Ballivan Streets to the north.
The Plaza was originally named the Plaza Mayor (Greatest/Main Plaza) after its construction. It was later known during the colonial period as the Plaza de Armas. Following independence, it was renamed the July 16 Plaza (Plaza 16 de Julio) on February 3, 1902, in honor of Pedro Murillo, captured and hung by Spanish troops in January 1810.

Really hope I can get back to France next year to see some of these species again!
Pantegnies - Parc de l'Avenois - France (Sept 19)
Aguilucho lagunero, en su laguna, desde hide comercial, por la tarde, al aterrizar, llevaba un 400mm fijo y no habia posibilidad de moverme asi que tuve que decidir por donde cortar, estaba claro que la cara no, a veces un corte puede potenciar que nos fijemos en detalles del sujeto, en este caso garras, pico y mirada, aunque los cortes no fueron queriendo, si hubiese tenido zoom lo hubiese incluido entero. (esta a 1920pix, para comparar)

Captured in Funchal (Madeira Island - Portugal)
"Armas" is a Portuguese word that stands for "Guns", in English. But here it has a different meaning, it's the name of a company that owns this ferry boat, and it transports people, not guns ☺
My researches tells me that "Naviera armas" its a transport company, based in the Canary Islands, and it has routes between the Madeira Island, Canary Islands and the Algarve.

ARMA II
6400x3600 (SRWE*) || Scripting (freecam, time of day/month/year, weather, gamespeed, various post process effects, other stuff) || In-game mission editor
*SRWE does technically work (adjusting values forces the rendering res), but I found that most of the time the rendering res would be slightly off because its basing it off having a bordered window. You can of course remove that with SRWE, but the game seems to usually think you still have one. It doesn't help that going into or changing video options brings back the border, so trying to get the '3d resolution' back on track is difficult. Looking glass seemed to crash the game as well...I'll probably stick with gpu resolutions + 200% rendering for now.

Ci si mette a scrivere di lena, ma c'è un'ora in cui la penna non gratta che polveroso inchiostro, e non vi scorre più una goccia di vita, e la vita è tutta fuori, fuori dalla finestra, fuori di te, e ti sembra che mai più potrai rifugiarti nella pagina che scrivi, aprire un altro mondo, fare il salto. Forse è meglio così: forse quando scrivevi con gioia non era miracolo né grazia: era peccato, idolatria, superbia. Ne sono fuori, allora? No, scrivendo non mi sono cambiata in bene: ho solo consumato un po' d'ansiosa incosciente giovinezza. Che mi varranno queste pagine scontente? Il libro, il voto, non varrà più di quanto tu vali. Che ci si salvi l'anima scrivendo non è detto. Scrivi, scrivi, e già la tua anima è persa.

At last! A species I'd been after for some time! Very pleased to finally spot one last week! :-)
Mer de Sable - Forêt de Fontainebleau
Armas Square, Morelia City.
Had the chance to climb up to a under-construction building to enjoy the view. A very special perspective from here.
