Conditions exceptionnelles pour notre visite au Cap Nord : il avait neigé toute la nuit, alors qu’un beau soleil nous accueillait. L’atmosphère était rendue très particulière par un contraste fort entre le lieu, éclairé par un soleil rasant à cette saison, et les masses nuageuses très sombres qui noyaient l’horizon marin. Tout ça saupoudré de quelques flocons qui flottaient dans l’atmosphère.

This is a repost, I'm day dreaming of Yosemite.
Taken last winter on a visit to York. The medieval city of York has this wonderful old wall encircling it which is fully open to the public. It dates back to Roman times although most of the Roman bits were replaced by another wall built by the Viking invaders around 1400 years ago. The current wall, while retaining elements of the Roman and Viking structures, dates back to construction that took place from the 12th to 14th century, so basically it's a pretty old wall. What a treat it was for me to capture this elderly gentleman in his traditional flat cap strolling along this part of the wall. But look closely because this is something I just can't figure out. He doesn't appear to have any hands! I have no idea why that is. I haven't touched this image other than to process it in the normal way. Very weird indeed.

A flat cap (sometimes "scally cap") is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Great Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a driving cap. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton.
This black capped chickadee was chirping away in front of the yellow blossoms, making a hard capture as it rapidly moved from place to place. I lucked out that I'd set to manual earlier for some flight shots, so although the background is blown, I got the bird!

Bishop’s cap cactus usually reaches no more than 100 cm (39 inches) in height and up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. It has four or five distinct ribs that increase to eight or more with age. The plant is globose when young, becoming cylindroid as it gains more ribs. The gray-green flesh is covered with white flecks. The fragrant yellow flowers have numerous petals and usually appear in early spring or summer during the day.

Le cap Roux est un cap du littoral de la Côte d'Azur dans le massif de l'Esterel, situé entre Agay dans le Var et Théoule-sur-Mer dans les Alpes-Maritimes.
Cap Roux is a cape on the Côte d'Azur coastline in the Esterel massif, in the French department of Var in the south of France.
La pointe du cap Roux est surplombée par les montagnes du pic du cap Roux (454 m) et du Saint-Pilon (442 m). Les roches volcaniques dominent comme dans tout le massif et leur couleur rougeâtre de la rhyolite donne le nom au cap.
Le Massif du Cap Roux est l’un des sites les plus beaux du Massif de l’Estérel. Avec ses rochers rouges aux parois verticales, le panorama offert depuis la table d’orientation au sommet (454m) est un mariage réussi de la montagne et de la mer.
Le volcanisme de l'Esterel est terminé depuis fort longtemps, mais rien n'interdit de rêver, de s'abandonner à la contemplation du paysage lorsque la lumière rougeoyante du couchant joue sa grande fantasmagorie sur les rochers du Cap Roux.
The tip of Cap Roux is overlooked by the mountains of Pic du Cap Roux (454 m) and Saint-Pilon (442 m). The volcanic rocks dominate as in the whole massif and their reddish color gives the name to the cape.
The Massif du Cap Roux is one of the most beautiful sites in the Massif de l'Estérel. With its red rocks with vertical walls, the panorama offered from the orientation table at the summit (454m) is a successful marriage of the mountain and the sea. The volcanism of the Esterel has been over for a long time, but nothing prevents you from dreaming, from abandoning yourself to the contemplation of the landscape when the glowing light of the setting sun plays its great phantasmagoria on the rocks of Cap Roux.
Located between the Mediterranean coast and Provence, the Estérel is a volcanic range that covers 32,000 hectares, including 14,000 protected hectares. Rhyolite, an igneous rock formed in the Paleozoic era, gives the mountains their striking red colour. Guided or self-tours are available for mountain bikers, horseback riders and hikers.

Le phare du cap Lévi est situé à Fermanville, charmante bourgade à mi-chemin entre Gatteville-le-Phare et Cherbourg. Vingt-huit mètres de hauteur, cent treize marches, le phare fermanvillais attire l’œil par son allure géométrique. Sa forme est carrée et non cylindrique, à la différence de son voisin gattevillais. Érigé en 1858, détruit lors du Débarquement de 1944, le phare du cap Lévi fut reconstruit après la guerre.

It is found in Sumatra (Indonesia) and the Thai-Malay Peninsula.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Black-capped Kingfisher has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22683249/212490546
There are quite a few colourful kingfishers in Thailand, and Black-capped Kingfisher is particularly eye-catching including for that large red bill. The species is ranked as Vulnerable by the IUCN, mainly due to population declines. This individual was seen at a boardwalk that went some distance along a channel we travelled on by boat. The location was near Laem Phak Bia in Phetchaburi province.
