This is the rear of St. Teresa's Church on Clarendon Street, just off Grafton Street in Dublin. A monastery and chapel was founded there in 1797, and they allowed Daniel O’Connell to hold political meetings in the chapel between 1813 and 1829.
Taken with a Leica M4-P and Leica Summarit 35mm f2.5 lens on Kodak TMax 400 black and white film, and developed and scanned by the good folk in Gunns on Wexford Street.
This is Crazy Ivory calling in Berlin - or at least pretending, cause he served once more as a very good model :-)
The white squares belong to the design of the phone boxes in Germany.
Hmm, after all these Japan stories I don't know what to write anymore (obviously).
Unfortunately the photos I took with this lens plus the fuji 2x teleconverter were horribly soft and completely unusable (including the ones of Frederica) - either it's broken or just completely useless. Luckily I have one or two un-teleconverted shots (including this one) that are ok.
Male frog calling for a mate. Look closely, you can see the water rippling around him from the vibrations of his call.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, Griffith Observatory is one of my favorite places to visit in the LA area. There's nothing really quite like it, and I'm going to miss it endlessly when I leave in a month.
Thanks for your views, comments, and favorites!

I'm not at all sure what this Rudy Turnstone was up to. It did this several times in a row. I didn't hear any vocalization and it didn't appear to be directing it at another bird. It also wasn't feeding at the time.

Church in Bodie, CA, one of America's most classic ghost towns. Shot 7/04. Night, before moonrise, 8 minutes, f5.6, 160T film, several pops of red-gelled strobe-flash inside the doorway (interior access not allowed).
't Was a bright late morning when anomalously for that particular time I heard a calling Cuckoo as my eyes fell on a gathering of Red Campions in the mottled shade at the edge of a wood near the Hoornseplas, just south of the city of Groningen. This plant in Dutch is usually called the 'Dagkoekoeksbloem' (Silene dioica or Lychnis dioica) as sometimes in English: Cuckoo-flower (which is not the same as the Cuckooflower [Cardamine pratensis]).
The great Carolus Linnaeus in the middle of the eighteenth century knew it as Lychnis dioica. Earlier, famous Flemish botanist Rembertus Dodonaeus (1517-1585) had called it Lychnis silvestris in Latin and also by two intriguing Flemish names: Jenettekens ('wee Janets") and Wilde Christusogen ('wild eyes of Christ'). Local Groningen professor of botany, Abraham Munting (1626-1683) added: Wilde Jenette (='Wild Janet'). But the French-Swiss botanist and entomologist Joseph Philippe de Clairville (1742-1830) gave our flower its scientific name 'Silene', which holds today. Possibly by that name he refers to the froth or spittle often seen early in the morning on the stems of Campions and 'True' Cuckooflowers. Greek Silenos - father of Bacchus - was a notorius drunk and often apparently foamed at the mouth.
In fact, that froth is the product of the Spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius); how Clairville would have liked this! In pre-modern times this foam was thought to be produced by the Cuckoo; hence it was called 'cuckoospit' (in Dutch: koekoekspuug). That close association with the bird, gave the flower its common name in Dutch.
The English 'Campion' is a version - perhaps by way of the French - of the Latin 'Flos campi', Flower of the field, in this case in red or pink.

The Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus) is one of the largest and most boisterous members of the flycatcher family. It has a big square head and stocky body. Named for its ringing kis-ka-dee calls, this bird seems to break the rules for the flycatcher family. Besides flying out to catch insects in the air, it will also grab lizards from tree trunks. It eats many types of berries and even plunges into ponds to catch small fish, tadpoles and insects. In the U.S., Great Kiskadees live in thorn-scrub, irrigation channels and in the suburbs of South Texas. Great Kiskadees readily come to feeders to eat fruit such as bananas, but they will also steal other kinds of food to, such as bread, peanut butter, and pet food. This Great Kiskadee sits above a watering hole at the Laguna Seca Ranch near Edinburg, Texas.

Bush Cicada or Great Western Cicada. Megatibicen dorsatus . This one is in a butterfly bush. I grew up hearing these called 'evening locusts' because of their habit of calling in the evening.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Some soft evening sunlight to light up the countryside. Shot at Portmore reservoir, Scottish Borders, Scotland.
This is not an HDR image. I used a Lee Filters hard edge 0.9 neutral density graduated filter to hold back the brightness of the sky and hills. I then lightened the shadows in Adobe Camera Raw.
I looked up to see the lovely clear sky, and noticed this mast, bedecked with folded and directional dipoles, microwave dish, etc and wondered why I had zero phone signal.
