Another from yesterday's visit to the Wyre Forest.

The yellow border of this field stood out like the proverbial sore thumb, I presume it must be Oil seed Canola, the light was nice with clouds racing across the landscape, it is strange today, it`s not raining .

Pearl-bordered Fritillary [Boloria euphrosyne]

LEPIDOPTERA > Papilionoidea (Butterflies) >

Nymphalidae (Brush-footed Butterflies) > Heliconiinae

You can really see the dogface image on the forewing of the butterfly with the dark eye and the elongated snout.

 

The solid dark border also shows that this individual is a male. Females have light spots within the dark border.

 

The top side of the wings is seen only in flight because the butterfly always keeps its wings closed.

I never intended going up here, I'd left my wife sat in the car while I popped out to get some photo's of the Roman Fort.. the light was poor, so I thought I'd try for a higher a view, next thing I knew, I was up at the top.. This is where I have to confess that I thought I was on Hard Knott's summit. Only when I got home and was looking on a map to see where the path was up to the summit, that I realised it was Border End summit, Hard Knott's summit was only a short distance away.

If the weather hadn't have been so poor, I probably would have had a roam about. As it was, I could see rain getting nearer and my wife was sat below waiting for me.. :-)

Paddy, having a moment realising that he's just about to land on Auntie Elk .. which would be a bad thing!

НАЛИЧЈЕ ПОСТ-ИНДУСТРИЈСКОГ друштва —Тачан моменат заласка сунца (које је заклоњено зградом са леве стране овог кадра), мразно ветровито вече пред Божић Јелинима и Сиријцима.

 

► █░▓ CHRISTMAS EVE day-to-night border line. The very moment of astronomical sunset. The Sun was blocked by the nearby shipyard. It was the first clear sunset this winter here (after December solstice launch last Sunday afternoon). It took place at 231°, which is the southernmost place on the horizon in the whole year's season cycle. Just to the left beyond this frame.

 

This is a strange capture, a compound of extremely busy lower half and the negative space in the upper half. A mayhem. This might work better in total monochrome. There is too much to name everything. Lower left the shipyard offices. To the right behind the trees a narrow strip of Avelingen, the Boven Merwede right riverbank. Behind the river: De Werken shipyards. Further behind: De Biesbosch. In the background De Dordtse Biesbosch.

 

The symbolism of this borderline industrial landscape may be obvious. The conclusion of Advent, the Christmas Eve is telling you: look at the world on the ground! It's one big mess, or made mess, skyline pollution, waterline pollution, wiring, heavy machinery dissecting the Earth, a conundrum of human attempts to reach happiness through pandemonium of tumultuous undertakings and enterprises. Most of which are destructive, or at best ludicrous. But not far from it — just a little higher — there is peace and calm, invariable space of original perfection, the gentle clear skies, the vestibule of Heaven. How many of us turn our eyes away from the ground and up into the free areas above?

 

Lumix G9 / Leica 100-400mm f4.0-6.3 fully zoomed in (800 mm the full-frame equivalent). Underexposed ⅓ of a stop. Handheld with support. Aperture priority f/9 resulting in 1/80 of a sec for ISO fixed at 200. AWB, sooc jpeg edited in Photos 10.0. Uncompressed, slightly cropped from 4:3 format, + Flickr B&W/'Sepia' filter (~30%). It was unattainable to get rid of the excessive orange sky colour without deteriorating the rest.

Blue markings are not natural. I have been told this may have been applied as part of a catch and release programme.

On the Portuguese Camino. 'Last' Portuguese town before crossing into Spain. A favourite shot of mine from the entire 2 week walk.

Auntie Elk, pausing for a moment in the midst of digging her snow hole!

Charlie, wondering what are you doing and is that camera edible.

This is my daughters dog and it was great to be able to catch up with them after lockdown.

Koda at Rufford Country Park thinking of squatting..

He watched us turn around and never left his position. Am sure he waits for his human to return home.
