Dipper - Cinclus Cinclus
aka Water Ouzel
Double click to view
Dippers are members of the genus Cinclus in the bird family Cinclidae, named for their bobbing or dipping movements. They are unique among passerines for their ability to dive and swim underwater.
They have a characteristic bobbing motion when perched beside the water, giving them their name. While under water, they are covered by a thin, silvery film of air, due to small bubbles being trapped on the surface of the plumage.
Dippers are found in suitable freshwater habitats in the highlands of the Americas, Europe and Asia. In Africa they are only found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They inhabit the banks of fast-moving upland rivers with cold, clear waters, though, outside the breeding season, they may visit lake shores and sea coasts.
The high haemoglobin concentration in their blood gives them a capacity to store oxygen greater than that of other birds, allowing them to remain underwater for thirty seconds or more, whilst their basal metabolic rate is approximately one-third slower than typical terrestrial passerines of similar mass. One small population wintering at a hot spring in Suntar-Khayata Mountains of Siberia feeds underwater when air temperatures drop below −55 °C (−67 °F).
Dippers are completely dependent on fast-flowing rivers with clear water, accessible food and secure nest-sites. They may be threatened by anything that affects these needs such as water pollution, acidification and turbidity caused by erosion. River regulation through the creation of dams and reservoirs, as well as channelization, can degrade and destroy dipper habitat.
Dippers are also sometimes hunted or otherwise persecuted by humans for various reasons. The Cyprus race of the white-throated dipper is extinct. In the Atlas Mountains dippers are claimed to have aphrodisiacal properties. In parts of Scotland and Germany, until the beginning of the 20th century, bounties were paid for killing dippers because of a misguided perception that they were detrimental to fish stocks through predation on the eggs and fry of salmonids.

Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch gravity dam on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, near the town of Page. The 220 m high dam was built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the United States with a capacity of 27 million acre-feet (33 km3)[3] The dam is named after Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone canyons now flooded by the reservoir.
Wappa Dam, Sunshine Coast Queensland.
"The Wappa Dam is a mass concrete gravity arch dam with earth-fill abutments and an un-gated spillway across the South Maroochy River that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for supply of potable water for the Sunshine Coast region.
Completed in 1963, the concrete dam structure is 24 metres (79 ft) high and 138 metres (453 ft) long. The 12-thousand-cubic-metre (420×103 cu ft) dam wall holds back the 4,614-megalitre (1,015×106 imp gal; 1,219×106 US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 69.7 square kilometres (26.9 sq mi) with a mean annual rainfall of approximately 1,700 millimetres (67 in) that includes much of the Maroochy River, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir with a surface area of 74 hectares (180 acres). The un–gated spillway has a discharge capacity of 1,420 cubic metres per second (50,000 cu ft/s).[1] Initially managed by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, management of the dam was transferred to SEQ Water in July 2008 as part of a water security project in the South East Queensland region, known as the South East Queensland Water Grid.[5] The accompanying water treatment plant is also managed by SEQ Water.

By visiting a raw sugar factory in Louisiana, you will see one of Louisiana’s largest, oldest and most fascinating industries in operation.
Raceland Raw Sugar, LLC was built in 1892 in Lafourche (La-foosh) Parish, Louisiana under the ownership of Godchaux Sugars. In 1996 M. A. Patout & Son, LTD, LLC purchased the factory as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Today, Raceland Raw Sugar receives cane from seven neighboring parishes and has a grinding capacity of 15,000 tons per day. It is one of the last remaining 11 raw sugar mills/factories in the State.
A BIG Salute goes out to ALL Farmers....everywhere....in this month of Thanksgiving for what they do to provide us the simple things we often take for granted......

Thanks for taking a look.
Have a great day.
This one took a lot of shadow recovery. This much is outside the capacity of Capture NX-D. Capture One made it possible.
この現象でシャドーは強く明るくする必要があった。Capture NX-D はここまでできる力は無し。Capture One でできました。

The Rotunda Staircase - Het Trappenhuis van de Rotunda
English
A breathtaking look up into the heart of the Rotunda, the iconic annex of the National Library of Finland (Kansalliskirjasto) located in Helsinki. Completed in 1906, this masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture was designed by architect Gustaf Nyström. It features a symmetrical, oval staircase capped by a beautiful glass skylight, seamlessly extending the library's capacity with early 20th-century structural elegance.
The institutional history of this landmark ties deeply into Finland's grand geopolitical shifts. Following the devastating Great Fire of Turku in 1827, Russian Emperor Tsar Alexander I, serving as the Grand Duke of Autonomous Finland, decreed that the university and its invaluable library collection be permanently relocated to the new capital city of Helsinki.
This imperial intervention laid the groundwork for the monumental neoclassical main library building, which opened its doors in the 1840s. Designed by the famous German-born architect Carl Ludvig Engel—the mastermind behind Helsinki's iconic Senate Square—the historic site remains a majestic fusion of 19th-century empire style and later Art Nouveau engineering.
Nederlands
Een adembenemende blik omhoog in het hart van de Rotunda, de iconische uitbreiding van de Nationale Bibliotheek van Finland (Kansalliskirjasto) in Helsinki. Dit meesterwerk van de art-nouveau-architectuur werd ontworpen door architect Gustaf Nyström en voltooid in 1906. Het gebouw kenmerkt zich door een perfect symmetrisch, ovaal trappenhuis dat sierlijk omhoogloopt naar een prachtig glazen dakraam.
De rijke geschiedenis van deze plek is nauw verweven met de politieke geschiedenis van het land. Na de verwoestende stadsbrand van Turku in 1827, besloot de Russische tsaar Alexander I (in zijn rol als Grootvorst van het autonome Finland) dat de universiteit en haar kostbare bibliotheekcollectie definitief moesten verhuizen naar de nieuwe hoofdstad Helsinki.
Dit keizerlijke besluit leidde tot de bouw van het monumentale, neoclassicistische hoofdgebouw dat in de jaren 1840 in gebruik werd genomen. Dit oorspronkelijke complex werd ontworpen door de beroemde architect Carl Ludvig Engel, die tevens het brein was achter het iconische Senaatplein in Helsinki. De latere toevoeging van de Rotunda maakt de bibliotheek tot een unieke samensmelting van negentiende-eeuwse grandeur en vroege twintigste-eeuwse architectonische elegantie.
At the antigen test centre Messe Wien in the 2nd district
This free testing takes place in three test centres in Vienna from 4 to 13 December. They have the capacity to test up to 150,000 people a day. But on the first day there were only 24,000 participants, and the following days this number was even lower.
Perhaps many people are deterred by the word Massentests (mass testing) and fear they might be infected at such a centre. This testing is so well organized however that there's absolutely no risk of being infected there.

One of the capacities gradually developed by a photographer as time passes by is a "trained" eye for capturing a successful frame ... When you see the scene, it actually calls you to enclose it inside your camera's sensor ...
The two absolutely identical (from a technical - constructive point of view) old, wooden doors stay close to one another forming a formidable mirroring photograph at Nikiforos of Drama's prefecture ... A village of no more than 400 permanent residents but with an extremely interesting variety of old, poor yet architecturally interesting and still absolutely inhabitable if properly maintained dwellings ...
The photograph was taken somewhere around late afternoon hours, without a tripod and with the lowest possible ISO value set on my D90 in order to grasp details as clearly as possible .... Most of my effort was focused in actually framing the scene properly ...

I can no longer count the impacts. The shock I felt the first few times has given way to a slight tremor. And I'm not worth the energy you discharge on me. The source from which I draw my power exceeds your capacities, as if I only had a consciousness of mortality, in order to constantly revolt against it.

Anchorage
In nautical, the action of anchoring, is to tie the boat to the seabed, or lacustrine by a rope or chain, either using an anchor or a dead. A mooring with dead man and buoy is a permanent device that allows anchoring a boat safely.
They are usually located in a safe place to anchor, which is called anchorage. Its capacity of retention is proportional to the weight of the dead, independently of the type of bed, and depends on the friction produced with the bottom. When the dead is half-buried in the substrate, the suction effect increases its fixing force.
"Mankind is forever vacillating between passive inactivity ( the extinction of consciousness in habit) and insatiable restlessness(dissatisfaction with all their accomplishments; spiritual, moral, and intellectual yearning exceeding his capacities)"
The human capacity for destructiveness is a dangerous zone to wander. Finding oneself in awe of watching the world crumble beneath ones feet as the path on which one walks comes to a closing halt. At the end of the road, pure darkness lies ahead and it could overtake one's assumptions. Although one is to face forward, staring into the future, a continual pattern that is read too deeply to which a falsified scenario can conjure feelings of frustration and emptiness of the past. A feeling that can dwell, swelling the mind with discomfort, like good intentions overtaken by a rainy day. An entity that feeds on our dispositions, growing in time only to explode into a raging mess of emotional pain and anguish; yet accompanied by the warmth and compassionate nature of innocent attentiveness.
"Hope is a disposition of the soul to persuade itself that what it desires will come to pass, which is caused by a particular movement of the spirits; namely, by that of mingled joy and desire. Fear is another disposition of the soul, which persuades it that the thing will not come to pass. And it is to be noted that, although these two passions are contrary, one may nonetheless have them both together, that is, when one considers different reasons at the same time, some of which cause one to judge that the fulfillment of one’s desires is a straightforward matter, while others make it seem difficult.
And neither of these passions ever accompanies desire without leaving some room for the other."
Our annual Harvest Fest for the backyard visitors was a huge success with all.
With four pumpkins, two of them carved, gourds, Indian corn, almonds, pecans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, corn, brazil nuts, hazel nuts and sunflower seed setting the stage, everyone felt like a star whenever a treat or two was discovered.
In case of this chipmunk there's no telling how many treats are packed into those cheeks.
**For those of you who know me, if you saw the squirrel photos yesterday, then you probably guessed chippie shots were next!
