The lion is a carnivorous mammal and the only feline in the world that lives in groups. It is never found in the jungle but lives in savannas and other open spaces. It sleeps for an average of 20 hours a day, is active mostly at night, and can live for over 25 years.
Thoroughly average power traverses a decidedly not thoroughly average, late-season snowy landscape at Kalama, Washington on BNSF's Seattle Sub, with coal headed north, either for the Centralia Generating Station or for export at Roberts Bank, BC.
The long-eared owl's (Asio otus or Strix otus) breeding season is from February to July. This bird is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its temperate range. Its habitat is forest close to open country. Overall, these owls are secretive, and are rarely seen.
It nests in trees, often coniferous, using the old stick nests of other birds such as crows, ravens and magpies and various hawks. The average clutch size is 4–6 eggs, and the incubation time averages from 25–30 days. It will readily use artificial nesting baskets. An unusual characteristic of this species is its communal roosting in thickets during the winter months. The young have a characteristic call, likened to a rusty hinge.
The long-eared owl hunts over open country by night. It is very long winged, like the similar short-eared owl, and glides slowly on stiff wings when hunting. Its food is mainly rodents, small mammals, and birds. In Europe it faces competition from the tawny owl and is most numerous in localities where the tawny is absent, notably in Ireland, where the long-eared is the dominant owl; it can occasionally be seen even in Dublin city centre.
Males occupy nesting territories first and may begin their territorial calling in winter. Nesting occurs mainly from mid March through May. During courtship, males perform display flights around nests. Display flights involve erratic gliding and flapping through the trees with occasional single wing claps. Females respond by giving their nest call. The female selects a nest by hopping around it, while the male displays above. She then performs display flights as well, and flies repeatedly to the nest. Leading up to mating, the male approaches the female after calling and performing display flights, then waves his wings as he sidles up to her. Mutual preening and courtship feeding also occur. After pairing, adults roost close together, but the female tends to roost on the nest after it has been selected.
Long-eared Owls hunt mainly by ranging over open rangeland, clearings, and fallow fields. They rarely hunt in woodlands where they roost and nest. They hunt mainly from late dusk to just before dawn, flying low to the ground (1-2 m), with the head canted to one side listening for prey. When prey is spotted, the Owl pounces immediately, pinning the prey to the ground with its powerful talons. Smaller prey is usually swallowed immediately, or carried away in the bill. Larger prey is carried in the talons.
Long-eared Owls feed primarily on mammals. In most areas voles are the most common prey, but deer mice are the most important prey in other areas. In southwestern deserts, pocket mice and kangaroo rats are primary foods. Other mammal prey includes squirrels, bats, chipmunks, gophers, shrews, moles, and cottontail rabbits. Birds are also taken, occasionally on the wing. Most bird prey are smaller species that occur on or near the ground. Bird prey includes meadowlarks, blackbirds, juncos, Horned Larks, doves, bluebirds, and thrashers. Larger birds such as grouse and screech-Owls are occasionally taken. Long-eared Owls sometimes eat insects, frogs, and snakes.
Pellets are fairly large, about 5.1x1.9 cm. They are oval or cylindrical, greyish, and compact with many bones, skulls, and teeth. They are regurgitated 3 to 4 hours after eating.
Hollywood is a city in Broward County, Florida, located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The average temperature is between 68 and 83 degrees. As of July 1, 2015 Hollywood has a population of 149,728. Founded in 1925, the city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and is now the twelfth largest city in Florida. Hollywood is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
Joseph W. Young founded the city in 1925. He dreamed of building a motion picture colony on the East Coast of the United States and named the town after Hollywood, California. Young bought up thousands of acres of land around 1920, and named his new town "Hollywood by the Sea" to distinguish it from his other real estate venture, "Hollywood in the Hills", in New York
Young had a vision of having lakes, golf courses, a luxury beach hotel, country clubs, and a main street, Hollywood Boulevard. After the 1926 Miami hurricane, Hollywood was severely damaged; local newspapers reported that Hollywood was second only to Miami in losses from the storm. Following upon Young's death in 1934, the city encountered more terrific hurricanes and not only that, but the stock market crashed with personal financial misfortunes. It felt as though the city was tumbling slowly piece by piece with all of those tragic events taking place.
Hollywood is a planned city. On Hollywood Boulevard is the Mediterranean-style Joseph Young Mansion, built around 1921, making it one of the oldest houses in Hollywood.

Landscape of Tibet
Tibet is the highest country on earth with an average elevation of over 4000m. The lowest regions of Tibet are still over 2000m above sea level with Jomo Langma (Everest,Sagarmatha) ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ being the highest point at 8848m. Tibet is covered in grasslands, mountains and valleys.
Many of Asia’s largest rivers have their headwaters in Tibet such as the Ma chu རྨ་ཆུ་ ( Yellow River), Dri chu འབྲི་ཆུ་ (Yangtze), Nag chu ནག་ཆུ་ - རྒྱ་མོ་རྔུལ་ཆུ (Salween), Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) and Dza chu རྫ་ཆུ་ (Mekong). Western Tibet (Ngari) is a high, arid region with few people, while southeast Tibet (Kham) is forested and suitable for farming. Northern Tibet (Amdo) is covered in vast grasslands filled with yaks and sheep and central Tibet (U-Tsang) is the most densely populated area of Tibet lying along the fertile Yarlung Valley.
A lot of photographers seem to eschew vertical photographs for reasons I truly don't understand. I shoot more than average and honestly almost always prefer them over horizontal when placed head to head as is again the case with this location.
Providence and Worcester Valley Falls based local PR-3 is southbound with their 83 car unit ethanol train for Shell (ex Motiva) tank farm at the Port of Providence. The local's two regular GP38-2s 2007 and 2008 (built new by EMD in Nov. and 1980 respectively for the then only seven year newly re-independent road) along with B39-8 3909 (ex LMX 8535 blt. Dec. 1987) are leading the train down Amtrak's #7 Industrial Track between LAWN and ORMS interlockings in this view looking off the Branch Ave overpass.
It's hard to imagine now but everything in this scene was once a massive classification yard. The New Haven built its new Northup Avenue Hump Yard which opened in 1922 extending some two miles in length and 800 feet in width. Originally a rider hump, in 1929 it received 14 modern electro-pneumatic retarders in three groups feeding a 34 track bowl. From a peak of classifying over 1300 cars a day by 1958 traffic had declined to the point that the retarders were removed. Other than P&W using the remains of the old receiving yard to the north the yard is all gone now with much redeveloped and some retained for use as Amtrak's Providence MofW base.
To learn more about the yard and see many historic photos I HIGHLY recommend Edward J. Ozog's fabulous page. The start of his history of this yard can be found here: sites.google.com/site/humpyardprovidence/home and then click each progressive link.

I love to go to movies. In a theatre with a crowd. The crowd is optional, but prefered...
I probably average one a week during the course of a year.
A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS AND WORTHLESS OPINIONS...
I hate arriving late for a movie. If the show is about to start... be prepared to see something else or buy tickets for the next showing. "I'm very anal about this". The last time I walked into a darkened theatre was the final installment of "Star Wars". This was only because I had already seen it... I like to have my popcorn and be seated before the coming attractions... "coming attractions" ARE a part of the movie experience. Commercials, on the other hand, suck.
Jodie Foster is the only movie star who's films I go to just because she's in them.
Russell Crow is my favorite actor. I am still miffed that he did not win the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". A film which won "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best S. Actress", and "Best Writing". All for a movie in which every scene surrounds his character. losing to Denzel Washington(a very good performance) in "Training Day"(an ok film)... so wrong.
... that said. I do think Halle Berry was brilliant in "Monster's Ball". The last ten minutes alone were worthy of an Oscar nomination. She had very little dialogue during this part of the film. The emotions were conveyed in her facial expressions and body language. "Simply amazing"
"As Good As It Gets" is that rare movie where I leave the theatre wishing the characters would just keep going... the only film since then to bring out this response in me was "Friends With Money". A movie for which I have yet to lend to anyone who liked it.

Shot at night I chose the spot meter to the lamp at zone 7 and lightened the shadows in development to achieve a better exposure instead of using matrix or averaging modes.
Grand Canyon National Park. Considered one of the seven natural wonders of world. Honored as a World Heritage Site. Visited by five million or more each year.
Six thousand feet deep at its deepest point and up to 18 miles across at its widest, the canyon is immense and colorful with steep canyon walls and jutting mesas. Exposed geologic formations chronicle three of the earth's four eras of geologic history, making the Grand Canyon one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world.
Carved by the Colorado River over a period of six million years, it is one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is also one of the most biologically diverse with several major ecosystems that range from coyote willows at the river's edge to hanging gardens along the canyon walls to ponderosa pines along the canyon rims.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, sometimes referred to as the "other" Grand Canyon, is less populated with visitors and uniquely different from the South Rim.
With an average elevation of 8,000 feet, the North Rim offers views of the canyon from a higher vantage, in an environment and sub-alpine climate of blue spruce, Douglas fir, mountain ash, colorful lupines and grassland meadows. Look for Kaibab squirrels, goshawks, porcupines, mule deer and elk.

2 July 2021: The average number of patients being hospitalized for Covid has dropped under twenty. Just over 300 Covid patients are still in hospital but the decrease in new cases is slowing down. During the week from 22 to 28 June an average of 351 people tested positive for the coronavirus. This is only 8% down on the figures for the previous week. Belgium’s Reproduction number still stands at 0.71 but there are mounting concerns about the more contagious delta variant of the virus. The good news is that the EMA confirmed that two doses of vaccines protect against the delta variant. Unfortunately, my attempt to move my August appointment for my second AZ jab was not successful: no one picked up the phone at the vaccination center and the website did not offer a solution. I’ll keep trying and hopefully today I’m lucky - Sint-Idesbald, Belgium
Our temperatures in Alaska are rather mild for this time of year. Our cabin is located in one of the colder regions of the state - but temperatures are averaging in the mid-thirties during the day, and a mild eighteen degrees at night. We awoke to a heavy fog bank this morning and Jack Frost took out his paint brush and lightly touched every branch and twig around our cabin. In the afternoon sunlight even the tiniest weed took on a magical look.

It happens on average every 15 years, now around 20, that the south-westerly wind blows strong and prolonged into the Gulf of Trieste coming from northern Romagna.
The gulf is very windy, but there are also long periods of calm, but no wind, even the strong Bora, can create high waves, given that within this stretch of sea the maximum distances between the coasts are between 20 and 30km.
The only exception is provided by the wind that comes from the south-west in the wind rose and enters the only opening towards the rest of the Adriatic between the Grado peninsula (FVG, Italy) and tip/rt Savudrija (Istra, Hrvatska).
Through this passage the wind fishes on approximately 250km of sea surface and manages to generate waves of up to 3/4m (sea force 4/5 on the Douglas scale) which are decidedly important values for the area.
This is what happened on Friday 3 November 2023, to which a strong high tide was added, flooding the adjacent state road 14 (viale Miramare) in the Barcola section and where wood, branches, porphyry cubes, concrete blocks were dragged (dragged for meters and metres) algae, stones, sea gravel and seafood.
The road surface is approximately 6m above the sea level.
The photos were taken in reportage style, so point and shoot without paying too much attention to the composition and limiting the image quality to have a quick shot with very short times.
The purpose is not that of likes, obviously, but to document an event which for those who know these areas with little waves was very significant.
The precedents of the last 70 years are very few (1957, 1969, 1984 and 2003) and each time the seafront and the popular bathing establishments have been strengthened so, from the significant damage that occurred, it can be argued that it could have been the strongest storm ever or, at least, among the strongest for this area.
Bison are grazing animals. The average adult bison needs to eat about twenty-four pounds (11 kg) of food each day.
'The oldest continuing cycle race in the world'
This prestigious event goes back to 1886 and, with the exception of the war years, has been run ever since. Traditionally on the first Sunday in October. prior to the formation of the RTTC it was considered to be the ‘Championship of All England’ and still attracts the leading 'Hill-Climb' riders from all over the country.
The challenge is Yorks Hill, a 707yd climb with an average gradient of 12.5%, with two stretches of 25%. Needing an all-out lung bursting effort.

On average, for the last 7-8 years about 4-5 days a week, I've been consuming the same basic thing almost everyday... a protein smoothie for lunch and a salad for dinner. I'm still using my old Ninja blender for my smoothies and thought it would be a perfect fit for the Macro Mondays theme of kitchen this week. This is the top blade of my Ninja... it's a little dinged up but still going strong! Just like me, ha!
Colorado's snowpack is well above average state-wide, in some regions over 150% above average. This is good news after last year's severe drought. Our hope now is for average temperatures for the next couple of months so it doesn't melt and runoff too fast.
This shot is of the rugged Gore Range from near Ute Pass north of Silverthorne.

I follow Cryptid a bit, until he led me to a small campfire with two other soldiers sitting around it. he led me over to the one on the north side of the fire, and introduced me. "This is Mackenzie, but we call him 'Klip.' I shook his hand, and told him my name. I told him a bit about myself, being overwatch and all. Then, out of the blue, the other soldier piped up, rather resentfully, "What are you, some damned super-soldier? The perfect sniper, eh?"
A haunted look must have come to my eyes; I could see it reflected in the gaze of the kid, Klip. "No, I'm not perfect, or even close," I responded. Klip softly asked me to continue. So, I did.
"I wasn't that much of an excellent shot, up through a few years ago. I was still fresh meat then, near the beginnings of the war. I was responsible for covering my unit in a rather ugly section of a city. Twenty-three men had their lives depending on me to keep them covered, and to give them warning of any attacks. I stopped looking for a brief moment, and by the time I looked back, the screams had begun. The Urags had been laying in wait, for a hapless unit of Earthlings to slaughter. Twenty three men, who died because of my carelessness. I should have seen the signs, should have warned them. Ever since then, I have dedicated myself to being the best sniper I could be. Many of my exploits are exaggerated, but I can run and gun along with the rest of them."
The group had gone quiet for my tale. There were several moments of tense silence, until the offending soldier whispered, "I'm sorry. I had no idea."
I took it in silence. It hurt, hurt badly that these soldiers can look upon their own allies with resentment, could judge without knowledge. I needed to get out of where I was, needed a change of scenery. So, through some cosmic flip of a coin, a coin scarred and malformed through eons of abuse, I decided to go out on a limb and ask these men whom I did not know, did not know other than the wind in their step and the fire of their guns, to hold my future in their response. "I could join your team, if you'd have me. Sniping isn't all I'm good at."
Here in Barnet the average winter temperature does not usually fall below 2 degrees C (35.6 F) so the recent cold blast -5 degrees C (23 F) was a bit of a shock. This is a series of 5 photos taken in the cold weather
After setting the pole up for this shot at Asgarby earlier today, I decided to retract the equipment and have a look down the line as the loco was taking longer than Id expected to get here. Low and behold no sooner had I got onto the crossing the barriers went down on Burton Road and 56090 screamed into view.
After whipping the pole back up to about 3 metres I realised my lens was set at quite a wide angle. However, being out of time I pressed the shutter and got this result. Apart from having to remove the crossing sign in the corner of the frame Im actually quite pleased with the end product and the wide angle finish gives a slightly different perspective to what I would normally go for
Average red-bellied trogon of subtropical forests. Male is iridescent green on breast, head, and back; female is brown. Namesake dark mask is usually obvious, especially on females. Nearly identical to Collared Trogon but very little overlap; Masked is almost always found at higher elevations. Where both are possible, look especially at tail pattern on males: large white tips on underside of tail feathers, otherwise dark with very fine white barring.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
The Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross averages 81 cm (32 in) in length. It is a typical black and white mollymawk with a grey head and large eye patch, and its nape and hindneck are white. Its bill is black with a yellow culminicorn and a pink tip. It has a blackish grey saddle, tail and upperwing, and its underparts are predominantly white.
Its underwing and primaries show a narrow black margin. The juvenile is similar to the adult but with a white head and black bill. It can be differentiated from the Indian yellow-nosed by its darker head. Relative to other mollymawks it can be distinguished by its smaller size (the wings being particularly narrow) and the thin black edging to the underwing, The grey-headed albatross has a similar grey head but more extensive and less well defined black markings around the edge of the underwing. Salvin's albatross also has a grey head but has much broader wings, a pale bill and even narrower black borders to the underwing.
Atlantic yellow-nosed albatrosses nest on islands in the mid-Atlantic, including Tristan da Cunha (Inaccessible Island, Middle Island, Nightingale Island, Stoltenhoff Island) and Gough Island. At sea they range across the south Atlantic from South America to Africa between 15°S and 45°S.
This image ws taken just off the coast of Tristan da Cuhna in the South Atlantic Ocean.
In summer, the average water temperature at the surface of Crater Lake in Oregon is 60F (16C).

This is going to be a series of FUNGI I photographed at Cape Tribulation in far north Queensland in February 2007, for 3 days. Cape Tribulation, 150/200 km north of Cairns, is pristine rainforest and freshwater and mangrove swamps. Rainfall in 2006 was way above average at 300 inches (7.5 metres). It was not easy getting these photos because I was often down in the wet and damp and eaten by mosquitoes, bitten by angry black ants, and totally drenched through because of high temperatures and humidity. Nevertheless I am happy with some I have taken and will share these with you over a period of time. I will start with these today and more will follow:-
Mycology is an interesting subject and it was only 2 months ago I began to get interested in it mainly because of the macros I was seeing on Flickr. You people who live in England, France, Germany and the USA are fortunate because a lot of work has been done on your fungi and identification resources are available to you. In Australia this is not so. No Australian Government gives any money for fungi research and identification, even though an Australian scientist discovered the fungi that led to penicillin being produced (Florey). It is estimated that Australia has around 250 000 fungi in all the fungi families, but no more than 5 to 10% have been properly classified and identified, and most of that is in the State of Victoria (Capital Melbourne) but that is 3000 km south of me.
Because I am so new at this, and have scant resources, then I am going to be hopeless at providing any names for you. I apologise for that so don’t be mad at me. Hope you like these. A few of mine (not too many) will have a bit of blurring because light in the rainforest is not good especially when the sky is overcast which it often was.

The average elevation of Leh-Manali highway is more than 4,000 m (13,000 feet)[1] and its highest elevation is 5,328 m (17,480 ft) at Tanglang La mountain pass. It is flanked by mountain ranges on both sides featuring some stunning sand and rock natural formations.
The highway crosses many small streams of ice-cold water from snow-capped mountains and glacial melts without a bridge and it requires driving skill to negotiate fast-flowing streams. The landscape changes immediately after getting past Rohtang Pass and entering into Chandra river valley in Lahaul region that lies in rain-shadow. The greenery on the southern side of the mountain pass disappears and the mountain slopes on the leeward side become brown and arid. However, the mountain peaks are covered in snow and shine brightly in sun.
Leh-Manali highway is generally two lanes wide (one lane in either direction) without a road-divider but has only one or one and a half lanes at some stretches. It has over a dozen bailey bridges and most of them are in dilapidated condition. The highway has many damaged stretches and under-maintenance portions where even a little rainfall can trigger landslide making it very dangerous to cross that stretch of the road. The riding quality is not good at many places and fast speeds can cause discomfort.
These women do not exist. They each are a composite of about 30 faces that I created to find out the current standard of good looks on the Internet.
On the popular Hot or Not web site, people rate others’ attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. An average score based on hundreds or even thousands of individual ratings takes only a few days to emerge.
I collected some photos from the site, sorted them by rank and used SquirlzMorph to create multi-morph composites from them. Unlike projects like Face of Tomorrow or Beauty Check where the subjects are posed for the purpose, the portraits are blurry because the source images are low resolution with differences in posture, hair styles, glasses, etc, so that I could use only 36 control points for the morphs.
What did I conclude about good looks from these virtual faces? First, morphs tend to be prettier than their sources because face asymmetries and skin blemishes average out. However, the low score images show that fat is not attractive. The high scores tend to have narrow faces. I will leave it to you to find more differences and to do a similar project for men.
Average red-bellied trogon of subtropical forests. Male is iridescent green on breast, head, and back; female is brown. Namesake dark mask is usually obvious, especially on females. Nearly identical to Collared Trogon but very little overlap; Masked is almost always found at higher elevations. Where both are possible, look especially at tail pattern on males: large white tips on underside of tail feathers, otherwise dark with very fine white barring. On females, look for evenly barred undertail with large white tips combined with contrasting black face. Usually found singly or in pairs, perched quietly from the understory to the subcanopy.
