Ucluelet's rocky shoreline. In the language of the indigenous Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) people, the name means "people of the safe harbour"
The people in this shot seem so insignificant compared with the trees, rocks and the vast pacific Ocean.
An interesting fact.. this Canadian west coast town is 5000 km. or 3200 miles from Canada's east coast (in a straight line).
She's looking a little worse for wear compared to the last time I saw her, but NS SD60E 6963, specially painted to promote rail transportation, still looks pretty good pulling train 223 down the "Broadway" main south out of Luther Yard in St. Louis, MO.
Winter storm Jupiter has given the area a brief pause, giving me a chance to escape three stir-crazy kids for a few hours.
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
There's no sensation to compare with this

If I recall correctly the Ford Taunus range was built in Germany for the German market. This lovely 1950’s model looks modern compared to many of the production lines elsewhere in Europe. I suppose the colours helps a great deal as well. Photographed like many recent motor vehicle uploads in the motor museum in Schramberg, South Western Germany.
Comparing to his bigger brother "Mont Saint Michel" on the other side in France, St Michael's Mount in southwestern England in Cornwall is not that impressive. But under the right weather conditions just as beautiful.
After a whole day of rain the sky exploded at sunset.
Enjoy...

Church neighbors near the Berkeley campus.
When the Berkeley campus was established, in the the late 19th century, various Protestant denominations rushed to acquire property on adjacent streets, and new church buildings were quickly erected. Some are thriving these days, while others have fallen on hard times.

I have two of these little cuties living in my backyard now. They are so tiny compared to the other squirrels. I'd say they are just slightly bigger than a Chipmunk.

The bears come down to the shore on the edge of Cook's Inlet to find dead fish washed up on the shore to eat. They are followed around by seagulls trying to snatch bits of fish for their own meal. These are fairly large birds when you compare their size to the big bear in the image.
The 25th April Bridge, also known as 25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril in Portuguese) is the longest suspension bridge in Europe. It has two levels, the top level is for cars and the lower, which was added in 1999 is for trains.
The overpass took 45 months to build. It was inaugurated on the 6 August 1966 and was named Salazar Bridge, after António de Oliveira Salazar, dictator of Portugal until 1974. After the Carnation Revolution that took place on the 25 April 1974 and Salazar’s regime was overturned, the Bridge was given the name of 25th of April.
It was designed by the American Bridge Company, also responsible for the San Francisco Bridge, and this is why it looks like it and why they are often compared.

Grok Question:
Average annual temperature of Yukon compared to Hawaii?
Answer:
The average annual temperature in Yukon, Canada, is considerably lower than in Hawaii due to their vastly different climatic conditions:
* Yukon: Given its subarctic climate, the average annual temperature varies by region, but for Whitehorse, a significant city in Yukon, the average would be around 0°C (32°F). However, considering the entire Yukon territory, including colder areas, the average might be even lower, possibly around -2°C to -4°C (28°F to 24°F).
* Hawaii: With its tropical climate, the average annual temperature for Hawaii is much higher, typically around 75-78°F (24-26°C) at sea level. This average can slightly vary between islands but remains consistently warm year-round.
So, when comparing the average annual temperature:
* Yukon: Approximately -2°C to 0°C (28°F to 32°F).
* Hawaii: Approximately 24°C to 26°C (75°F to 78°F).
This comparison clearly shows Hawaii's much warmer climate in contrast to Yukon's cold, subarctic conditions.
The 6.2L V8 in my new Camaro SS doesn't compare to the 4400hp in the ES44 pulling this westbound grain through Coon Rapids today, but it sure will out accelerate most other vehicles on the road! Thanks to Greg Smith for the idea of shooting my new car with a train.
Parrot Crossbills are restricted to the Western Palearctic, breeding mainly in Scandinavia and NW Russia. But this population is nomadic, occasionally wandering to Britain when their pine cone crop fails. Wandering birds occasionally stay here to breed, and it has become apparent in recent years that a population of about 100 pairs breeds in Caledonian pine forests in Strathspey and Deeside. 2017 has seen an invasion of Parrot Crossbills into Britain, including a flock of at least 12 birds In the Upper Derwent Valley in the Peak District, which is where I photographed this male.
Identification is not easy, and incidentally DNA cannot separate Common, Scottish or Parrot Crossbills. Parrots have a heavier neck, and a larger bill, particularly the lower mandible that swells towards the tip. But there was variation in bill size among the 12 birds present, and not all had absolutely massive bills. Because I listen to Common Crossbills all the time their calls sounded very different to me; a lower choop, compared with the higher chip of Crossbill.
The scientific name Loxia pytyopsittacus is interesting too. Loxia means slanted or crosswise, referring to the bill, and pytyopsittacus translates as parrot of the pines from the Greek Pitus (pine tree) and psittakos (parrot).
Compared to my shots from this place in back from Spring 2017, I much enjoy the water level and lighting of this place my on second visit. I don't know if it's because I am a better photographer 4 years later, or the conditions just better.
Anyways I am happy I was able to give this place a second visit with my camera and capture something I am happy with.
This is a shot of some of my buddies hiking back down the tunnel. It took maybe 2 tries to get them in the right spot.

Or Pumpkin Load depending on where you came from!
Back in the old days a Punkin Load was a single log load that was big enough to bring the trailer up to weight. This was back in the days of the big timber, back when old growth was still plentiful.
Definitely not something you would ever see today, everything coming out of the woods today is match sticks compared to the days of old!
Just an old photo that I cleaned up as best as I could considering the age!
Revisited this location after 8 years: back then I used a 2nd hand Canon 350D, no nd filter, cheap tripod, and not a lot of knowledge. I was very proud of the result, but looking back and comparing the results, I'm more proud about the difference!

Compare to the photo in the first comment box below, taken just 8 days ago. What a difference a week (and some horribly windy weather) makes. Happy Friday Flora🌸
According to the metal plaque, this species is Magnolia campbellii 'mollicomata'. In 2022, I took one photo each month from approximately the same spot, documenting the changes in this magnificent tree. Check out my album for more details.

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge snakes across the bay, piercing through Treasure Island along the way. In the foreground. a wooden pier from a much older San Francisco absorbs the morning sunlight. The old and the new spin an interesting tale for two different periods of time.

As I was visiting Palazzo Steri (the Palazzo Chiaramonte). I had a chance to stare at Guttuso's original painting which reprints are very popular. Well, nothing can be compared with the original. I visited La Vucciria and enjoyed a meal (and Aperol Spritz of course) there. Saw the original place he painted.
Second night,Ayg. 12, 2020 was supposed to be the peak with 50m/h. the north star and the perseids are included. This is a very large image, so click "L" then "Z" twice to view large and see if you can find the 8 meteors that were captured within this field of view....Hint: most are just above the horizon. in a few days I will post an image with all of them marked. Tech stuff: Stack of 400 images, Nikkor 10-20mm DX zoom on D500 at 10mm, f4.5, 20 sec exp with 1sec interval. stacked with StarStaX, cleaned with TopazAI, gigapixal enlarged. Dew accumulation on the lens stopped by wrapping the lens with chemical hand warmers...Note that compared with last night (previously loaded image), the clouds early on created light pollution on the left which reduced the number of trails. see the marked meteors below in comments or in the next image on my stream www.flickr.com/photos/rkop/50227190351/in/dateposted-public/
And sharp as a knife...
Macro Monday: #Danger
Width of the frame: 3 cm / 1,18 inches
Oh, how much I hate to accidentally cut myself on paper. And how much more often has that happenend compared to a knive accident in the kitchen. We are surrounded by potentially dangerous things, aren't we? And one of those things is the inconspicious paper, evil in the guise of the daily newspaper, a book, a white, empty sheet of paper, the information leaflet... Admittedly, I've slightely exaggerated the consequences here, because a "paper cut" is never that bloody, but it bloody well hurts anyway ;-)
Simple ingredients used: strip of paper (of course), placed on my semi-glossy white tile and fixated with a small piece of modelling clay (which I forgot to remove with the healing [healing!] brush, *sigh*), because the droplet of "blood" always made it fall over. The "blood" consists of water and glycerol, tinted with red watercolour. Glycerol increases the water's surface tension and helps to stabilise the droplets (thank you very much for the advice, Bine&Minka2007!). A 50-50 mixture is recommended, but you should experiment with the mixing ratio, I used a 40 (water) to 60 (glycerol) mixing ratio for this. You can also use glycerol only. Since it is a fairly greasy substance, I'd recommend to have a bottle of make-up remover at hand which works really well to clean the surfaces you've used the glycerol on.
Other uses for glycerol? On the bottle I got from my local chemist it says that fir branches and Christmas trees last longer when you add a little glycerol to the water (4 tablespoons of glycerol in 1 l of water), and it is also recommended as a frost protection agent for rubber seals of, for instance, fridge or car doors. Speaking of frost protection agent... I vaguely remember the 1985 diethylene glycol wine scandal, where Austrian wineries adulterated their wines with diethylene glycerol... but that's an altogether different matter... ;-)
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Nicht von Pappe...
...sondern scharf wie ein Messer kann Papier sein. Papier war sogar das erste, das mir einfiel, als ich das neue MM-Thema erfuhr. Denn wie oft habe ich mich schon versehentlich an Papier geschnitten. Sicherlich öfter als am Küchenmesser, das man ja auch mit entsprechender Sorgfalt handhabt. Papier hingegen, das harmlose Zettelchen, Blatt, der Beipackzettel... ein unachtsamer Moment und... Autsch! Natürlich habe ich hier etwas übertrieben, denn so "blutig" ist ein Papier-Schnitt selten, aber er tut schon ziemlich gemein weh... ;-)
Den schmalen Streifen aus etwas dickerem Papier habe ich mit einem kleinen Kügelchen Knete (das ich auch noch wegzustempeln vergessen habe...) auf der matt-glänzenden Fliese befestigt, weil der "Blutstropfen" das Röllchen immer zum Überkippen brachte. Das "Blut" ist eine Mischung aus Wasser und Glycerin, gefärbt mit roter Wasserfarbe aus dem Tuschkasten. Vielen Dank übrigens an Bine&Minka2007 für den Tipp mit dem Glycerin. Christa macht ja immer die schönsten Tropfenfotos und ich hatte vor einiger Zeit mal nachgefragt, wie sie ihre Tröpfchen stabilisiert. Das recht ölige Glycerin erhöht die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers, sodass die Tropfen fester werden und länger halten. Ich habe gelesen, dass allgemein ein 50-50-Mischverhältnis empfohlen wird, aber man sollte ruhig damit experimentieren, ich hatte z.B. eine 40(Wasser)-zu-60(Glycerin)-Mischung angerührt. Man kann auch das reine Glycerin nehmen. Make-up-Entferner eignet sich übrigens vorzüglich, um das Zeug auch wieder rückstandslos zu entfernen.
Und wofür kann man Glycerin noch verwenden? Auf meinem Fläschchen aus der Apotheke las ich mit Interesse, dass Tannenzweige und der Weihnachtsbaum länger halten, wenn man 4 Esslöffel davon auf einen Liter ihres "Trink"wassers gibt. Außerdem soll es ein hervorragendes Frostschutzmittel für Gummidichtungen z.B. an Kühlschrank- oder Autotüren sein. Apropos Frostschutzmittel... Da gab es doch vor ewiger Zeit (1985, ich musste gleich mal nachschauen) diesen Weinpanscher-Skandal... aber das ist ein anderes Thema ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch eine angenehme Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Swansea Castle has had a shorter lifespan compared to other Welsh castle, but her history is just as exciting. The ruins which remain today are of the third castle known to have been built on this site. From battles and sieges, and several changes of ownership, this castle’s history is varied and interesting. It’s a shame that some of the castle was removed and modern buildings constructed in very close proximity.

Northern gowshawk adult male (ringed with #56), Neukolln area. Spotted as it flew over my head, and landed on a nearby tree. Relatively bold compared with other goshawks I have seen in the past _ did not fly away as I was standing right below the tree where it was staying. From my experience, it seems that males goshawks are less shy than females.
A week later, I saw two of them in Tiergarten, then another couple north of Berlin ..
Goshawk are fare easier to spot in winter, as trees has no leaves ...
Water. Drip. Splash.
I've been away from my main computer for a week! Eek! There are some new things I want to learn; for example, when you see the comparison of this image, you'll see that I still can't get that damn angler lure in. And there's no library for "girl with angler lure on forehead". Wut?!
Well... I guess I'll have to learn how to train my own libraries. ;-)

The weather here has been very good this winter compared to northern Europe and USA. The weather has been mild and not as windy as we are used this time of the year. This is shot in early january. We haven´t had any snow in Reykjavik since then.
1958 Buick Roadmaster Model 75 in Pink Coral.
The 1958 Buicks. Along with the ’58 Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles, they are arguably the most chromed-up cars ever made. For years, I thought the ’58 GM cars were all-new, because they were so massive and squared-up compared to the ’57s. But it was only Chevrolet and Pontiac that got the total redesign.
