Black Redstart (male)
This is an image of a 2nd calander year male nearing completion of moult. When he bred his plumage was pretty much identical with that of the female. In Manchester I have observed two pairs of Black Redstarts and each of them have had two broods. There have been no previous recordings of double brooding here. There has been another first here in Manchester concerning these birds but I will leave that for another post. This image is made with my newly acquired 5D MKIV which I am loving. My old 7D Mkii has become difficult to operate but served me well. I have ordered an R7 which I ordered from the get go but sadly whilst others appear to have got theirs, I am still waiting:-(
Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. ~Michael Strassfeld

A visit to a famous West Coast of South Island, NZ viewpoint back in winter (July) 2008. The left side is the camera made jpeg reversed and the reflection on the right is as I remember it. Simply made using the RAW conversion sliders in Photoshop adding light to shadows and reducing it in highlights, adding just a little clarity and dehazing (careful or you end up with the colours of old calander pictures).
It was raining here this morning as we slide towards winter too quickly.

I did this shot mid winter once and it was added to a swiss calander they were very surprised when they found out it was actually in Canada :-)
The moon rising in daylight taken on the same day as my last post only with a sigma 600mm mirror lense ,a bit noisy but a big moon .
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and The Creator.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that the great Creator wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Water, the Hub of Life.
Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium.
Water is the most extraordinary substance!
Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building
material for its machinery.
Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
This inviting bench waits for someone to sit on and admire the view at sunset ,taken at Craigavon lakes Co Armagh in Ireland.

Love on the Rocks indeed and they would have needed a couple of ice cubes to Cool down,
i watched in amazment at these two and i can honestly say that they would put Most Men to shame they were at it for almost an hour before i left them to there devices!
Grandma was a nurse. This came from a calander which was made for me. Unfortunately this page was soiled. I tried to fix it a bit with photoshop. You can still see it's not good in some spots.

The razorbill is a medium-sized seabird. It is black above and white below. It has a thick black beak which is deep and blunt, unlike the thinner bill of the similar guillemot. It breeds around the coast of the UK, with the largest colonies in northern Scotland. There are none breeding between the Humber and the Isle of Wight. Birds only come to shore to breed, and winter in the northern Atlantic. The future of this species is linked to the health of the marine environment. Fishing nets, pollution and declining fish stocks all threaten the razorbill.
A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most oriented toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, its apparent movement north or south comes to a standstill.
The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense, as the date (day) that such a passage happens. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some languages they are considered to start or separate the seasons; in others they are considered to be centre points.
Of the many ways in which solstice can be defined, one of the most common (and perhaps most easily understood) is by the astronomical phenomenon for which it is named, which is readily observable by anyone on Earth: a "sun-standing." This modern scientific word descends from a Latin scientific word in use in the late Roman republic of the 1st century BC: solstitium. Pliny uses it a number of times in his Natural History with the meaning it still has, but the word is in common use in other authors. It contains two Latin-language segments, sol, "sun", and -stitium, "stoppage." By this "standing" the Romans meant a component of the relative velocity of the sun as it is observed in the sky. Relative velocity is the motion of an object from the point of view of an observer in a frame of reference; for example, if it is true that seen from a space ship the Earth orbits the sun, it is also true that seen from the Earth the sun orbits the Earth. Relative velocity is quite real; that is, the perceived motions of objects are entirely relative to point of view; one and the same motion appears different from different frames of reference, and there is no absolute frame of reference from which all other motions are to be described.
To an observer in inertial space, perhaps in a space craft, the Earth rotates about an axis and revolves around the sun in an elliptical path with the sun at one focus. This is the point of view of writers of astronomy textbooks. The Earth's axis is tilted rather than perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit and this axis maintains a position that changes little (but does change) with respect to the background of stars. An observer on Earth therefore sees a solar path that is the result of both rotation and revolution.
The component of the sun's motion seen by an Earth-bound observer caused by the revolution of the tilted axis, which, keeping the same angle in space, is oriented toward or away from the sun, is an observed diurnal increment (and lateral offset) of the elevation of the sun at noon for roughly six months and observed daily decrement for the remaining six months. At maximum or minimum elevation the relative motion at 90° to the horizon stops and changes direction by 180°. The maximum is the summer solstice and the minimum is the winter solstice. The path of the sun, or ecliptic, sweeps north and south between the northern and southern hemispheres. Around the summer solstice the days are longest and the shortest around the winter solstice. When the path crosses the equator the days and nights are of equal length, a condition called an equinox. There are two solstices and two equinoxes.

The effect at the Eye when the dark river flows over part of the cave entrance called the Eye produces some nice effects. My friend Ray, who at the time had his Nikon D200 in the shop because of a flood. agreed to pose for me in the shot. This was done with a point and shoot camera and he had to block the sun' at least to some degree' to get the rest of the shot to come out. This photo ended up winning a contest and is in Global Underwater Explorers 2009 Calendar as one of the months shots. www.gue.com/
Another kayaking photo i took this picture of the rainbow on loughneagh at oxford island it was a showry day and i did get wet !! but worth every minute at this time when Ireland has just had its first Snow at Halloween for 30 years .
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
Cheetahs stand on tree branches or termite mounds to locate their prey.
They then try to get within 50 metres of their victims before moving in for the kill.
Special body adaptations allow cheetahs to reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour.
A full sprint lasts about 20 seconds and rarely more than a minute.
Most hunts fail so cheetahs are forced to eat quickly in case they are challenged for their food.
Diet
Cheetahs hunt small to medium-sized mammals.
Size
A cheetah can be up to 150 centimetres (cm) long and 90cm high.
Their tails measure up to 80cm and they weigh, on average, 40 kilograms.
Location
Cheetahs are found in areas with tall grass and shrubs, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and northern Iran.
