View of the medieval fortifications at Castiglione del Lago, which has a magnificent view over the Lake Trasimeno.
The fortress, Rocca del Leone (the Lion fortress) was first built in the first centuries of the 13th century, on orders from Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor. It was probably done by Elia da Cortona (also known as Elia da Assisi (he was born in Assisi and died at Cortona). Already in 1325 the fortification was renovated by Lorenzo Maitani (otherwise most known for his work on the cathedral in Orvieto). The tower here is the keep, a triangular structure, 39 metres high.
I was out taking macros of roses yesterday, and happened to notice a small bit of movement on the fence. Turned out to be 2 anoles fighting. Needless to say, I stopped taking flower pics and took lizard pics for about 15 mins while they fought. I got some really good ones.
Hope you like it. (I will likely share more)

With the rut underway, this buck shows some evidence of his battles, with the one antler tine snapped off and another short tine looking broken.

I spotted this battle between a wasp and a hoverfly in my garden yesterday - the wasp won. Wasps are just as important pollinators as bees and hoverflies, so please no calls for death to all wasps - HSS!
Streets all over the word turning in to places to protest and even in to battle fields.
Black life matters !
Stay safe .....

The female House Sparrows in my garden seem to get on very well and as a rule do not often fight These two males seem to think it is their duty every time they see each other to have a very loud and public battle . Showing off in front of the girls I suspect !
House Sparrow are still a common bird in Uk in gardens parks and around farms . They feed on grain buds and scraps . They are listed as a red list species which means they at serious risk. In the last 15 years the House Sparrow population in London has dropped by almost 70% and they are now completely absent from many city centers
Some young bucks tussling and butting heads. They were so busy they didn't notice me sneaking up on them. Love hunting with digital bullets.
Thanks for your visit. Always appreciated!
Within the old Lodgings building this wall spoke to me - the different colours, shapes, the chips and marks on each stone, and within a wall that's over 500 years old.

This red admiral was on high alert today, chasing away all invaders to his territory in our garden.
After each energetic aerial battle he'd return to his perch high above the ground (twine surrounding our chicken area) to wait for the next interloper. Thrilling stuff!
Roaring EMD prime movers fill the air as J783-29 hits the top of Botkins Hill and passes the signals at walking speed on a freezing January morning. The 0.63% climb that separates the Ohio River and Lake Erie watersheds sometimes poses a formidable challenge for heavy southbound trains, and this day is no exception as over 10,000 tons of local traffic heads for Cincinnati
Shot at Van Vihar National Park, Bhopal. Territorial battle between Golden Eagle and Wooly Necked Stork.
When I went to the place, I heard loud bird calls from Coromonts on a tree. I realised a huge Golden Eagle was sitting on the tree. I thought it was there to hunt. So I waited some time for it to catch a meal and maybe I will get a shot. Turns out there was a stork that was stalking the eagle as it jumped from branch to branch.
It was Storks area and eagle was trying to take over. I waited for few hours as eagle took its time to make a move. It happens in bursts and neither of the two are in hurry to attack as it can be fatal.
Unfortunately action when started happened at some distance and so none of the shots in sequence turned out to be sharp.
So I thought it would be a candidate for my worst shot of the year Flickr group.

A big bull elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, associating with two other bulls. The divots in his fur, evident on both flanks, may be battle scars. One of the other bulls had the tines broken off his antlers, while the third bull appeared unscathed.
The antlers will drop off soon, and new antlers will start growing in spring. These guys have some time to get back in shape and to think about battle strategy.
I tried to find micro LEGO tanks like these but I had no luck. Surely, they have been made like this before. If you know where they have been made before let me know and I'll update this.
Interestingly, some of the epaulettes fit nicely and some are too small. Not sure if the mold was changed at some point but the old ones fit better.

After a monumental screw up that could have been easily prevented a week earlier, another opportunity presented itself on the shot. After waiting in town for three and a half hours, a short Y102 returns back north with only a couple cars through Holly, MI past the very charming Battle Alley.
Pride leaders pay a heavy price for their position as is evident from this battle-scarred warrior. I watched an older lion, too weak to join the food fest after a kill, still play a dominant role when it came time to bring down a big bull buffalo. It still went out to challenge another younger and stronger looking male encroaching on the pride’s turf. The photographer part of me wanted to photograph a fight but my tender side wanted the pride leader to live to fight another day. There’s nothing like lions to bring out emotions.
