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.

Started the weekend and my personal spring cycling season with a nice 90 km loop to Waldenburg. Waldenburg is a nice medieval town (first mentioned in 1235) and castle perched on a cliff on the flanks of the Löwenstein mountains. The ride there took me through the Hohenlohe region - through Öhringen, a town dating back to Roman times situated at the Reto-German section of the Roman Limes fortification, and Neuenstein with its wonderful renaissance castle. The ascent to Waldenburg is one of the most scenic of the region. It's long (about 3 km) and even has a hairpin if not particularly steep (about 150 m vertical ascent) with the steepest section having a gradient of maybe 12%. But it's fun and - so early in the year - offered a good first test of aerobic capacity.

Fewston Reservoir is located in the Washburn valley north of Otley and west of Harrogate in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England. It was built in 1879. The capacity is about 3.5 million cubic metres.

The reservoir was built by the Leeds Waterworks Company. Work began in 1874 and was completed in 1879.

This one took a lot of shadow recovery. This much is outside the capacity of Capture NX-D. Capture One made it possible.

The city center of Marseille is located more around the old Roman harbor and marina. The cathedral lies on the edge of the old town area near the sea and the port area.

—from Wikipedia

Marseille Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille [katedʁal sɛ̃t maʁi maʒœʁ də maʁsɛj] or Cathédrale de La Major or simply La Major; Occitan: Catedrala Santa Maria Majora de Marselha) is a Roman Catholic cathedral and a national monument of France. Located in Marseille, it has been a basilica minor since 1896. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille (the Diocese of Marseille until its elevation in 1948).

Old Cathedral

Part of the earlier, much smaller, cathedral still remains, alongside the newer one. It was built in the 12th century in a simple Romanesque style. Two bays of the nave were demolished in the 1850s, when the new cathedral was built. What remains is the choir and one bay of the nave, and these remaining parts are commonly referred to as the "Vieille Major". The composer Charles Desmazures was organist at the old cathedral.

Present Cathedral

The "Nouvelle Major" was built on an enormous scale in the Byzantine and Roman Revival styles. The foundation stone was laid by Emperor Napoleon III in 1852, and the first service was held in 1893. It was completed in 1896, given the title of minor basilica, and consecrated in 1897. It was built on the site used for the cathedrals of Marseille since the 5th century, principally by the architects Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu (1829-1874). It is 142 m (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 m (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France, covering a total of 7,680 square metres. It has been a listed monument since 1906.

"Szombierki" combined heat and power plant in Szombierki district of Bytom, Poland. Launched in 1920, nowadays operates at a limited capacity, considered as a monument due to its architectural values.

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 ...

NIKON D90 DSLR with Nikon Nikkor 18 - 55 lens, Manual Mode, shutter speed 1/60s, ISO 160, f 8, focal length 29 mm, use of HOYA ND X 2 filter, cloudy weather white balance, center weighted average metering mode, no flash, no tripod ...

This snap was taken a few days ago when the Red Arrows were performing over the Solent, just before the start of an America’s Cup World Series practice day.

I had cycled the last few miles down to the coast in an effort to beat the traffic and was therefore a bit restricted in carrying capacity and weight. Unfortunately, before departing, when I grabbed my camera I didn’t think to change my usual wide angle lens for something a little more appropriate for a distant air display! As a consequence, this snap has been cropped down by a huge amount.

Well that’s my excuse anyway!

The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory, North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests. It is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is the state bird of both Maine and Massachusetts in the United States, and the provincial bird of New Brunswick in Canada. It is well known for its capacity to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights as well as its good spatial memory to relocate the caches where it stores food, and its boldness near humans (sometimes feeding from the hand).

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.

This one is not a crop, but if you look closely at the larger version you'll see just how much that ventral groove blubber attached to the lower jaw has been stretched! The pink stripes makes it easy to see how huge it is! Pretty amazing!

There are a number of humpbacks in this shot, but that is not a whale in the foreground, by the way. It's a wave breaking on the shore.

After an unusually dry 12 month, the water storage levels at Mill Pond Reservoir are extremely low. This time last year, the reservoir was almost at capacity - this rock was 3 or 4 meters under water.

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.

This male kōlea is molting into his breeding plumage, often referred to as a tuxedo, before the long flight from the tropics to the nesting grounds on the Alaskan tundra. In a few weeks, he will sense that the time has arrived to congregate with other previously solitary kōlea and depart collectively. The trip spans 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring a rigorous, energy intensive effort of 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight at elevation ranging from 3,000 to 16,000 feet. Superb navigators with territorial fidelity, kōlea, or Pacific golden plovers, use the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of territory every year. They may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.

The physiological changes in migrating shorebirds, like this male kōlea, are astonishing. The necessity of increasing fat load for the sustained energy demands of long-distance migration has been compared to, in terms of percentage body fat, larding up to morbid obesity in humans. The surge in heart and lung capacity and increase in pectoral flight muscle are driven by hormonal changes (without the drudgery of exercise!).
