Description: 2014-03-07: The image was taken as Kuala Lumpur enters it's almost 2 month of the most dry and hot season yet, since a few years. Early during the week, the Klang Valley (and most of the places in the country) was covered with haze. Though the day that this image was taken, it was still having some haze. Still, Alhamdulillah that I decided to stop by a regular spot for photography in Kuala Lumpur for a short timelapse session. Enjoy.

Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

Oui Samantha, oui : ]
devant ce ciel si bleu, les fleurs,
apprends-nous à admirer sa beauté,
doux comme le sourire de nos mères,
mais le vent froid de l'hiver les souffle
et tout change soudainement,
la douceur de vivre est éphémère,
souviens-toi Samantha,
que faut-il savoir pour bien vivre,
puis-je dire,
malgré toutes les frustrations
ce qui peut vous apparaître
tous les jours,
est éternelle et nécessaire notre compréhension,
notre bienveillance envers nous-mêmes,
notre capacité à aimer,
connaître l'importance de s'aimer,
toujours,
la vie est belle quand on la traite avec sagesse,
crois-moi, mon amie,
oui, de temps en temps elle est belle,
la vie !
ton ami,
Ivan
------------------------------------------------
Yes Samantha, yes : ]
In front of this sky so blue, the flowers,
teach us to admireher beauty,
sweet as the smile of our mothers,
but the cold winter wind blows them
and everything suddenly changes,
the sweetness of life is fleeting,
remember Samantha,
what to live well you need to know,
may I say,
despite all the frustration
what may appear to you
everyday,
is eternal and necessary our understanding,
our kindness to ourselves,
our capacity to love,
know the importance of loving ourselves,
always,
the life is beautiful when you deal with it wisely,
believe me, my friend,
yes, from time to time she is beautiful,
the life !
your friend,
Ivan

Forest Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus macleayii
Description: The Forest Kingfisher has a dark royalblue head with pale turquoise on the back.There is a large white spot over the bill. The underparts are white.The male has a white collar which the female lacks. In flight there is a prominent white wing patch.There is a broad black eyestrip extending from the bill to the eye coverts. The tail is royal blue above and below is black to dusky grey. The long, straight bill is black and the lower mandible ('jaw'), which is long and upturned, has a pinkish contrasting strip along the bottom. The eyes are dark brown. The legs and feet are dark brown or dark grey.The eastern race incinctus has a greener back with a smaller white wingspot. Immature birds are slightly duller with forehead and shoulders scalloped faintly white and breast scalloped faintly black. In young males the neck collar is blue mottled and indistinct. The Forest Kingfisher is also known as Macleay's, Blue or Bush Kingfisher.
Similar species: Two species related to the Forest Kingfisher may be similar, however the Collared Kingfisher, T. chloris, is larger and greener with no white wing patch, while the Sacred Kingfisher, T. sanctus, is a little larger with more buff brown underparts and no wing patch. The similarly coloured Little Kingfisher, Alcedo pusilla, is much smaller and is not often seen.
Distribution: The Forest Kingfisher is essentially a tropical and subtropical kingfisher. The nominate (same name as species) race is found from the Top End of Northern Territory to the Gulf Coast. The incinctus race is found in coastal eastern Australia from Cape York to the Macleay River in New South Wales. Occasional vagrants are seen further south.
Habitat: Forest Kingfishers are commonly found in open sclerophyll forest with a patchy or sparse understorey. They favour watercourse vegetation and the margins of swamps and billabongs. They may also be found in mangroves, cane fields, farmlands and beaches, however they require forest and woodland for breeding.
Seasonal movements: The nominate race appears sedentary with occasional vagrant sightings in north-western Australia. In eastern Australia, the raceincincta in general is regarded as sedentary apart from some local seasonal movements. However in south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales populations are partially migratory. In Queensland, the population increases in spring and autumn associated with some passage from and to New Guinea. There may also be some lateral (east-west) migration of eastern birds to the Top End.
Feeding: The Forest Kingfisher's diet consists of invertebrates, including beetles, bugs, spiders and grasshoppers. It also will eat insect larvae, small lizards, frogs and worms. It typically hunts from low bare branches or telegraph wires. Most prey are caught with sally-pouncing, often landing with a thud caused by the breast and leg hitting the ground while seizing prey with the bill. They also engage in sally-hunting, striking the prey from low branches or the air and may also hunt in shallow water. There is a quick return flight to a perch, then the prey is killed by banging it against the branch, often dislodging indigestible portions such as insects' wings. Hunting takes place during the day, but with little activity during the hottest part of the day.
Breeding: Early on in the breeding season, the male Forest Kingfisher explores nest sites or even begins preliminary digging at several sites. The pairs, which may share long-term monogamous bonds, both build the nest. Sometimes the nests are in tree cavities, earthbanks or roots of fallen trees; more often they are in arboreal termitaria (termite nests in trees), and they are usually 4 - 12 m above the ground. Each member of a pair flies straight at the nest site from several metres away, with their bills pointed forward like a bullet, chipping away some of the 'cement' with each impact. Eventually a nest chamber about 23 cm in diameter is formed at the end of a short, slightly sloping tunnel. Although the short sloping tunnel helps the nestlings eject their droppings some nests become very soiled. Both sexes, as well as helpers from the previous season, help in the incubationof the eggs as well as feeding the young. It is even possible that in warmer areas the heat of the sun and the termite nest during the day are sufficient for incubation. Both sexes defend the nest vigorously. There is agonistic (fighting) behaviour by the pair at the start of the breeding season defending their territory and during the breeding season the males spend much time perched on a branch, challenging persistently. The fledglings are fed by the adults for at least a month. In some areas there may be two broods per season, but this is rare in the sedentary Top End (far Northern Territory) population.
Calls: A series of rapidly repeated notes, either a high pitched whistle: 'krree-krree-krree' or a 'machine gun' call; also harsh strident chatter near the nest.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 23cm
Average size: 20cm
Average weight: 39g
Breeding season: September to February, earlier in the north.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 28 days
