Like a vast lump of clay on a potters wheel, the Peña de Arties (1642m) marks a dramatic form for the otherwise open and sun filled Cinqueta valley high in the Spanish Aragon region. Seen from some angles, the mountain is like a giant's grave, and it is perhaps not surprising to find that witches are reputed to have lived watching over its northern wall from the village of Sin, and that multiple bronze age cromlechs rose high above its indubitable presence (witches as varied pagan expressions and not necessarily close to any modern caricature or medieval stigma).
Like a 'roche moutonnée that decided to be a small mountain', the land aside is perfectly pastoral and open to sun - an invitation to strong minded peoples. Just after the Peña de Arties are the well known open villages of Plan and Gistain.
The view is from the dirt track that rises and dog-legs behind the village of Saravillo.

I quite liked the abstract art effect when this Great White Egret perched on a dead tree. Not ideal conditions, being at a distance, and with a grey sky, but overall a pleasing image. I can still remember when these were incredibly rare in Britain, and I drove over a hundred miles to see my first back in the 1980s. Nowadays birders barely look at them they are so commonplace on wetland reserves. I have even seen two separate individuals flying over the Pennines during my morning bike rides. This one was taken at Titchwell in north Norfolk.
This was on the day a storm was playing out trying too hide from a wave that had just crashed against the sea wall,and the wind blowing the fine like rain over us,the umbrella trying it’s best too save us,god bless the umbrella it failed,anyway back to the picture,let me know what your opinion is on the colour I have chosen.
The windfall apples quickly vanish after the first snow as the birds swiftly devour the softening fruit. We have a store of damaged fruit to feed to our feathered friends additionally.
yes, trying to be a bit arty - it does work once in a while...
sorry for the small upload, but computer is a tad slow at times, and i am in a hurry :)
Along willow-lined streams in Alaska in summer, the song of the Arctic Warbler is unmistakable: a slow trill, with an insistent or hammering sound. When the bird hops into view among the branches, it is less distinctive, plain olive and whitish with a pale eyebrow. In fall, the Arctic Warbler crosses the Bering Strait and migrates south in Asia. per Audubon

The Latrabjarg cliffs in the West Fjords are the western most point in Iceland and in Europe. It is also the most highly concentrated cliff of seabirds. The height of the cliff is 1,447 feet.
Recently I captured a bunch of images of these two of the best :-) Here's one of them to share with you guys!

The Autumnal colours are always beautiful but the dark mornings are harsh. Any ideas how to make them better?
