Some facts on flies...
Flies form one of the five most diverse insect orders, including about 150,000 described species in 150 families.
It's estimated that there are 30,000 species of fly in Australia, of which only 6400 have been described.
Flies can be distinguished from other insects because they have only one pair of functional wings. Almost all flies have mouthparts that are adapted for lapping or piercing and sucking.
A large component of the world's fly fauna is unique to Australia. Flies are ubiquitous and often abundant in Australian terrestrial ecosystems.
They perform important ecological functions such as nutrient recycling, predation and pollination, and their larvae are often parasitoids of other insects.
Many species of fly are regarded as a nuisance, including the bush fly (Musca vetustissima), mosquitoes, sandflies and blackflies.
Flies are responsible for the transmission of a wide variety of disease-causing micro-organisms in humans and animals.
Most of these diseases are absent from Australia, with exceptions such as dengue fever and some types of encephalitis.

Happy Sunday
Der Sekretär musste eine (kleine) Reparatur an seinem geschätzten alten Oszilloskop vornehmen. Und als er es schon offen auf dem Tisch hatte, konnte er nicht anders, als das Innenleben zu portraitieren.

Secretary had to make a (minor) repair to his valued old oscilloscope. And when he already had it open on the table, he couldn't help but portray the inside.
Dull gray-brown bulbul with a black head and bright white cheek patch. Also note yellow vent and white tail tip. A lowland species of dry forests, scrub, forest edge, parks, and gardens; can be quite common in cities and towns in parts of its range. Song brief but pleasant and fluid. Gives low raspy “chuk” as well as mellower call notes similar to components of its song. (eBird)
-------------
A small flock of bulbuls flew into the shrubs lining the entry to the wetlands. They took one look at us and decided that we were not interesting enough to stick around for. This was the only one to stay still long enough for photos and for all but this shot, hid his face behind the leaves.

El Arco de Triunfo (en catalán: Arc de Triomf)? es un monumento situado en la confluencia entre el paseo de Lluís Companys, el paseo de San Juan y la ronda de San Pedro, en la ciudad de Barcelona (España). Fue diseñado por el arquitecto José Vilaseca como entrada principal a la Exposición Universal de Barcelona de 1888. La decoración escultórica corrió a cargo de Josep Reynés, Josep Llimona, Antoni Vilanova, Torquat Tasso, Manuel Fuxá y Pere Carbonell.1 Esta obra está inscrita como Bien Cultural de Interés Local (BCIL) en el Inventario del Patrimonio Cultural catalán con el código 08019/1053.2
A diferencia de otros arcos de triunfo de marcado carácter militar, el Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona tiene un mayor componente civil, caracterizado por el progreso artístico, científico y económico. El Arco de Triunfo ha sido utilizado como meta en alguna ocasión para algunas de las carreras pedestres populares más importantes de Barcelona, como la Jean Bouin o la Maratón de Barcelona. Asimismo, fue utilizado como recinto para la celebración de festivales y eventos musicales como el Primavera Sound. El monumento fue restaurado en 1989.
Yahtzee has been played in our family over generations. We haven't played for years but I found the game in the back of a cupboard. Apart from the smell of moth balls, it still had some old scorecards from way back when.

1958 VW pick up spent most of her life on a farm in Oklahoma. Over the last 4 years the truck has undergone a total nut and bolt restoration and has been re-engineered to introduce modern components. The Rolls Royce Viper 535 jet engine is from a fighter jet with an afterburner added to produce a maximum power output of 5000 lbs of thrust which can be roughly translated to 5000 BHP.
In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.
10th July 2016 - Lockheed C-130H Hercules 'CH-08' of the Belgian Air Components 20 Squadron based at Melsbroek Air Base and seen here in the static park at the Royal International Air Tattoo. This particular airframe was retired from the air component on 27th December 2017 with 22,219 flight hours on the clock since delivery in February 1973 and is to be reduced to spares in support of the remaining 10 aircraft of the fleet.

The Continental Cowley, shown to the press in April 1915, was a larger engined (1495 cc against 1018 cc), longer, wider and better-equipped version of the first Morris Oxford with the same "Bullnose" radiator; in addition it could carry a four-passenger body. To reduce the price, many components were bought from United States suppliers. The 1495 cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine was made by Continental Motor Manufacturing Company of Detroit, and the clutch and three-speed gearbox by Detroit Gear & Machine Co. Back axle, front axle and steering gear also came from the USA. Supply of these components was badly affected by the First World War. The suspension used semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front and three-quarter-elliptics at the rear.[1]
The central position of the handbrake and ball-change gear lever revealed the gearbox's US origin. It also made for easy entry through the driver's door and no cold steel up a driver's leg. The petrol tank was in the scuttle, and its filler was above the gear lever in the centre of the dashboard.[1]
The US-made back axle was the first helically cut drive in a quantity-produced British car.[1]
Electric lighting was standard. It was the first Morris car to be sold like that. The six-volt Lucas lamps were a set of five, powered by a belt-driven dynamo fixed to the engine by its cylinder head studs. The cost of these few electrical components was equivalent to 59% of the cost of the imported engine.[1] The delivery van body was not provided with electric lighting.
These components are essential for recognizing an object as a teapot. However, some teapots are so abstract or expressive that they only evoke the idea of a teapot.
Deze onderdelen zijn essentieel om een object als theepot te herkennen. Sommige theepotten zijn echter zo abstract of expressief voorgegeven dat ze alleen nog maar refereren aan het idee van een theepot.
Diese Bestandteile sind wesentlich, um ein Objekt als Teekanne zu erkennen. Manche Teekannen sind jedoch so abstrakt oder ausdrucksstark, dass sie die Vorstellung einer Teekanne nur erahnen lassen.
Ces éléments sont essentiels pour identifier une théière. Cependant, certaines théières sont si abstraites ou expressives qu’elles n’évoquent plus que l’idée même de théière.

Simon Bolivar statue in Cartagena, Colombia.
A statue depicts Simon Bolívar astride a horse in a park setting.
This statue is located in Bolívar park, in the center of the city of Cartagena. At the base of the statue is inscribed one of Bolívar’s famous sayings: “Cartagenians: If Caracas gave me life, Cartagena gave me glory.”
Simon Bolívar is known as “The Liberator,” of South America because of his efforts to free the colonies from Spanish rule. The movement for independence in Colombia began in 1810, but succeeded only in 1819 when Bolívar incorporated Colombia into the confederation of Gran Colombia. Gran Colombia included Ecuador and Venezuela (Panama was part of Colombia) until it dissolved into its component parts in 1830.
A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

A reboot with new data of a target I have previously looked at.
The previous target was pretty but I felt it lacked all the detail the target had to offer so added an additional 30 HA subs from the RH to help realise that. Small percentages but makes a lot of difference when reviewed in detail.
It also allowed me to resolve the ICC mismatch issues my PC suffered after recent updates which caused all sorts of issues on my last image!
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45000 K and a luminosity ~100000 times that of the Sun.

Serengeti National Park.
Una splendida zona del Serengeti con grandi massi di granito.
I Kopjes, pronunciati come kop-eez, sono antiche rocce cristalline che spuntano attraverso suoli recenti e superfici rocciose.
Queste pietre danno origine a terreni argillosi neri, impraticabili, tra cui gneiss granitici (occhi) e terreni sabbiosi di colore chiaro.
Puoi trovare queste vecchie rocce sotto gli strati di vulcani cenere e rocce, che formano il suolo di Parco Nazionale del Serengeti.
Una gigantesca bolla di granito liquido si fece strada dalla roccia fusa sotto la crosta terrestre e nello Scudo del Tanganica nel tardo periodo Precambriano.
Il granito è rotto dal ripetuto raffreddamento e riscaldamento sotto il sole africano e esposto all'aria in forme affascinanti dal vento.
La maggior parte dei Kopjes possiede massi rotondi su di loro o sono rotondi da soli.
Kopjes vengono spesso chiamati isole in un mare d'erba e sono le componenti più distintive del paesaggio del Parco Nazionale del Serengeti.
Inoltre, queste antiche pietre ne ospitano molti animali selvatici specie, come leoni, ghepardi, leopardi e altro ancora, che possono essere trovati a oziare su di loro, offrendo loro una visione migliore dell'ambiente circostante.
Serengeti National Park.
A beautiful area of the Serengeti with large granite boulders.
Kopjes, pronounced kop-eez, are ancient crystalline rocks that poke through recent soils and rock surfaces.
These stones give rise to impassable black clay soils, including granitic gneiss (eyes) and light-colored sandy soils.
You can find these old rocks under layers of volcanic ash and rocks, which form the soil of Serengeti National Park.
A giant bubble of liquid granite forced its way from molten rock beneath the Earth's crust and into the Tanganyika Shield in the late Precambrian period.
The granite is broken up by repeated cooling and reheating under the African sun and weathered into fascinating shapes by the wind.
Most Kopjes have round boulders on them or are round on their own.
Kopjes are often called islands in a sea of grass and are the most distinctive components of the Serengeti National Park landscape.
In addition, these ancient stones are home to many wildlife species, such as lions, cheetahs, leopards and more, who can be found lounging on them, giving them a better view of their surroundings.
