It was quite a stormy day and the tugs had to struggle to push the empty bulker against the wind to its berth respectively to keep it away from the opposite side of the basin, as can be seen in the picture.
If elk drank beer, I'd say these guys have beer bellies.
The reality is that bull elk must bulk up before mating season, because they can lose 20-30% of their body weight during the rut. So the bulkier they are at the beginning, the better condition they'll be in at the end. These two guys seem to have a very good start with roughly five weeks to go before the frenzy of the rut begins.
I have no theme in mind for my next several posts. But I guess random can be considered a theme, so this is the start of my random theme.
RICARDA (IMO: 9693329, MMSI: 255805688) ist ein Bulk Carrier. Es fährt unter der Flagge von Madeira. Baujahr 2015.
Als Leuchtturm wird ein Turm bezeichnet, der eine Befeuerung trägt. Leuchttürme sind insbesondere nachts weithin sichtbare Schifffahrtszeichen (durch die abgegebenen Leuchtfeuer sowie als Peilmarke) und dienen der Ortsbestimmung, der Warnung vor Untiefen oder der Fahrwassermarkierung.
Der Leuchtturm Bülk steht an der äußersten östlichen Landspitze der Nordseite der Kieler Förde, auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Strande in Schleswig-Holstein. Der Bülker Leuchtturm ist der älteste Leuchtturm an der Kieler Förde. Er dient als Orientierungsfeuer für die Zufahrt zur Förde. Mit einem roten Warnsektor markiert er die Untiefe Stollergrund.
Nun strahlt er in Grün Weiß.
Hat neue Farbe bekommen.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird, young male
In my yard, hummingbird activity is at its peak around now, as adults and young prepare to migrate.

Bulk buffering and -transfer is one of the things of the Waalhaven. Shot near the Marcor Stevedoring terminal.
The Waalhaven is one of the harbours on the left bank of the Maas in Rotterdam. With its area of 310 ha, it is the largest excavated harbour basin in the world. The Waalhaven flows into the Nieuwe Maas and is directly connected to the sea via the Scheur and the Nieuwe Waterweg.
This is number 332 of Rotterdam Harbour & Industry and 1279 of Minimalism & explicit Graphism.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Brown Falcon
Falco berigora
Description: Brown Falcons are small to medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). The female is larger than the male. The Brown Falcon has a range of plumage colours, from very dark brown to light brown above and off-white below. Generally, the upperparts are dark brown and the underparts are pale buff or cream. The sides of the head are brown with a characteristic tear-stripe below the eye. Birds from the tropical north are very dark, with a paler face and undertail, while those from central Australia are paler all over. Younger birds resemble dark adults, but have less obvious barring on the tail, and a buff-yellow colour on the face, throat and nape of the neck.
Similar species: Paler birds may often be confused with a related raptor (bird of prey), the Nankeen Kestrel, F. cenchroides, which is quite a bit smaller and has a more rufous crown. Dark Brown Falcons may be mistaken for slightly larger Black Falcon, F. subniger. The Black Falcon has longer legs and lacks barring on the tail. The Black Falcon also appears sleeker in shape and movements.
Distribution: The Brown Falcon ranges throughout Australia, and north to New Guinea.
Habitat: The Brown Falcon is found in all but the densest forests and is locally common throughout its range. The preferred habitat is open grassland and agricultural areas, with scattered trees or structures such as telegraph poles which it uses for perching. Around outback towns, the birds become quite tame and will allow quite close approach. Birds may stay within the same areas throughout the year or may move around locally in response to changes in conditions. Paler birds are usually associated with inland areas, but all the colour varieties are fairly scattered throughout the range.
Feeding: Brown Falcons are usually seen alone, searching for food from an exposed perch. When prey is sighted, the bird swoops down and grasps it in its claws (talons), killing the prey with a bite to the spine. The powerful bill has specialised 'tomial' teeth and matching notches for this purpose. Less often the species will hunt by hovering or gliding over the ground, often at great heights. Brown Falcons feed on small mammals, insects, reptiles and, less often, small birds.
Breeding: The nest used by the Brown Falcon is normally an old nest from another hawk species, but the species may build its own stick nest in a tree. Occasionally birds nest in open tree hollows. Both sexes share the incubation of the eggs, and both care for the young, although the female performs the bulk of these duties, while the male supplies most of the food.
Calls: Normally silent at rest, but gives some cackling and screeching notes when in flight.

Bulk Carrier
Bulker, auch Massengutfrachter genannt, sind auf den Transport von trockenen, unverpackten Massengütern spezialisiert und werden je nach Größe und Einsatzgebiet in unterschiedliche Typen wie Handysize, Handymax, Panamax und Capesize sowie Spezialgrößen unterteilt.
We cycled here from Christianspries where we were camped. It is the oldest lighthouse on the Kieler Förde.
The construction of the current tower was begun in 1862 by the Danes but owing to the Second Schleswig War it was not completed until 1865, by Prussia. (Wikipedia).
It also has a cafe there, but which was closed, because it was Sunday. Of course.
