Die ab 1955 hergestellte FED-2 kann in ihrer äusseren Gestalt und auch Teilen ihrer Konstruktion ihre Entwicklungsgeschichte aus einer Leica II-Kopie nicht verheimlichen, weisst aber ´gegenüber dieser viele Unterscheidungsmerkmale und Weiterentwicklungen auf.
Ein trauriger aktueller Bezug, der nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll, ist der Sitz des Herstellers FED in der ukrainischen Stadt Charkiw. Und der Name «FED» leitet sich (gemäss Wikipedia) von Felix Dserschinski ab, dem Gründer des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes Tscheka.

The FED-2, which was manufactured from 1955 onward, cannot conceal its development history from a Leica II copy in its outer appearance and parts of its construction, but it has many distinguishing features and further developments.
A sad current reference that should not remain unmentioned is the headquarters of the manufacturer FED in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. And the name "FED" is derived (according to Wikipedia) from Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret service Cheka.
A figure like shape emerging from the undergrowth of this misty, ethereal woodland. OK, its a fallen tree, but it gets the imagination going :-)
Concealer Moth (Tanyzancla argutella)
One of several flitting around recently.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

As I climbed the last mountain, Lake Shasta Reservoir way down the valley to my left, I caught a glimpse of a waterfall to my right, set back in the woods. I pulled off the road a hundred yards later, and decided I'd go take a look even though it was lightly raining. This small set of waterfalls was about 75 feet back from the road. I'm sure it's dry in the summer, but California has had so much rain, even the reservoir is completely full after years of drought. Anyway, kinda surprised I saw this from the road, trees have it almost completely concealed.

@ Llandanwg Beach.
Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.
The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.
The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.
Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.
Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.
Πάσα ομοιότητα με την παραφροσύνη μέσα στην οποία “ζούμε”(;) δεν είναι ούτε τυχαία ούτε συμπτωματική!
Η επίκληση-επίφαση περί της ασφαλείας των “προβάτων“ υποκρύπτει απλώς και μόνον την υστεροβουλία της βεβαίας μελλοντικής σφαγής.
Διαφορά η οποία στιγματίζει την-λέμε τώρα- “ανθρώπινη“-ξαναλέμε τώρα- “κοινωνία“:
Τα μαντρόσκυλα-ταγοί-όργανα της τάξεως δεν συμμετέχουν στην δολιότητα και πράγματι υπερασπίζονται το ποίμνιο με αυταπάρνηση στις επιθέσεις των πάσης φύσεως “λύκων“ .
Any resemblance to the insanity in which we "live" (?) is neither accidental nor accidental!
The invocation-emphasis on the safety of the "sheep" simply conceals the reluctance of the certain future slaughter.
A difference that stigmatizes the - ostensibly - "human" -ostensibly- "society":
The mastiffs-order-instruments of the order do not participate in the deceit and indeed defend the flock with self-denial in the attacks of all kinds of "wolves".

Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor, Daimiel, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La iglesia parroquial de Santa María la Mayor es el edificio más antiguo de Daimiel, provincia de Ciudad Real (España). Su origen se remonta al siglo XIV, si bien la fachada sur es del siglo XV y la torre del XVI.
Su estructura es la típica de los templos góticos, si bien se ha sido muy desfigurada por sucesivas restauraciones. Es en la parte norte donde se conservan la mayor parte de los vestigios de esta época, de los que cabe destacar sus elevados contrafuertes acabados en agujas, así como la puerta de la Umbría, constituida por un arco ojival y dos sencillos capiteles con adorno vegetal. La otra puerta original tiene cuatro columnas, con capiteles decorados con hojas y frutos. Se encuentra cegada desde tiempos de la construcción del coro, y actualmente se encuentra muy deteriorada. La otra puerta, que hoy es la principal, se llama del Sol y está constituida por un arco acortinado, protegido por un pórtico soportado sobre dos columnas que sostienen la galería que oculta la fachada original de la iglesia.
El interior de la iglesia está dividido en tres naves que son sostenidas por cuatro pilares. Sobre estos se adosan columnas que sostienen arcos torales y formeros. Sus capiteles parecen representar signos ocultos, e incluso algunos estudios los vinculan con la orden del temple. Los más representativos son los del conejo, la sirena, el rostro inmutable y la serpiente. La torre es muy posterior a la construcción original del templo, y está formada por varios cuerpos muy bien diferenciados. La consagración de las primeras campanas se efectuó el 4 de agosto de 1620, y en el 1816 la torre sufrió graves daños por causa de una tormenta y fue reedificada en 1818.
Sus retablos y el altar original se perdieron en el año 1936 durante la guerra civil. Actualmente se conserva en su interior la imagen del Stmo. Cristo de la Expiración, que logró salvarse de la barbarie de la guerra, y que se atribuye a la escuela de Alonso Cano.
En el coro bajo de la iglesia existe una lápida en la que se dio sepultura 1825 a Joaquín Ibáñez Cuevas, barón de Eroles, héroe de la guerra de la independencia, y que falleció a su paso por Daimiel el 22 de agosto de 1825.
Fue declarada bien de interés cultural con categoría de monumento el 28 de septiembre de 1989.
The parish church of Santa María la Mayor is the oldest building in Daimiel, in the province of Ciudad Real (Spain). Its origins date back to the 14th century, although the south façade dates from the 15th century and the tower from the 16th.
Its structure is typical of Gothic churches, although it has been greatly disfigured by successive restorations. It is in the northern part that most of the vestiges from this period are preserved, of which the most notable are its high buttresses topped with spires, as well as the Umbría Gate, consisting of a pointed arch and two simple capitals with plant ornamentation. The other original gate has four columns, with capitals decorated with leaves and fruits. It has been blocked since the construction of the choir and is currently in a very poor state. The other gate, which is now the main one, is called the Sun Gate and consists of a curtained arch, protected by a portico supported by two columns that support the gallery that conceals the original façade of the church.
The interior of the church is divided into three naves supported by four pillars. These are supported by columns that support the transverse and transverse arches. Their capitals appear to represent occult symbols, and some studies even link them to the Templar Order. The most representative are the rabbit, the mermaid, the immutable face, and the serpent. The tower dates much later than the original construction of the church and is made up of several distinct sections. The consecration of the first bells took place on August 4, 1620, and in 1816 the tower suffered serious damage due to a storm and was rebuilt in 1818.
Its altarpieces and the original altar were lost in 1936 during the Civil War. The image of the Most Holy Christ of the Expiration, which was saved from the barbarity of war and is attributed to the school of Alonso Cano, is currently preserved inside.
In the lower choir of the church, there is a tombstone where Joaquín Ibáñez Cuevas, Baron of Eroles, a hero of the War of Independence, was buried in 1825. He died while passing through Daimiel on August 22, 1825.
It was declared a site of cultural interest with the category of monument on September 28, 1989.
Another tiny bird - wt 0.25oz, length 4", wingspan 6" - and found throughout boreal North America, but this one has the flamboyant crest of a Roman gladiator, and a beautifully complex, high-pitched acapella.
Olive or gray coloured with the lighter colours underneath, white teardrop-shaped eye ring, large head, no neck, white wingbar, short tail, short bill. Displays crimson crest when disturbed, otherwise keeps it concealed under headdress.
Twitchy, lots of nervous energy, never sitting still, flicking wings nearly constantly; forages near the ground but rarely on the ground. Migrates - northern North America in summers, southern States in winter. Nests high in the conifers.
The Church of St. Martin in Landshut (in the background) is a medieval church in the German city located in the state of Bavaria. St. Martin's Church, along with Trausnitz Castle and the celebration of the Landshuter Hochzeit (wedding), are the most important landmarks and historical events of Landshut. This Brick Gothic landmark is the tallest church in Bavaria, and the tallest brick building as well as church in the world. It is also the 2nd tallest brick structure in the world (after Anaconda Smelter Stack), made without steel supports. St. Martin's church has a height of 130.6 metres (428 ft).
In the foreground, we see the market place.
This evening, I took a picture of its backside.
Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a little while. I've been on holidays for the past two weeks but don't worry, I've been taking lots and lots of photos that I am so excited to share. I felt a little rusty getting back into it, but feel confident with the work that I've produced.
I reconnected with the beautiful Becky whom you may all recognise from this photograph. She is not only an incredibly talented dancer, but an incredibly wonderful person. We ventured off to this beautiful location in the Blue Mountains and had it all to ourselves for an hour or two. It was definitely worth the hike and turned out to be one of my favourite days of 2016 so far. I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a little Jane from Tarzan vibe.
"Objects are concealed from our view, not so much because they are out of the course of our visual ray as because we do not bring our minds and eyes to bear on them; for there is no power to see in the eye itself, any more than in any other jelly. We do not realize how far and widely, or how near and narrowly, we are to look. The greater part of the phenomena of Nature are for this reason concealed from us all our lives."
Henry David Thoreau, October, or Autumnal Tints, 1862. Thoreau finished writing this recently published essay as he lay dying of tuberculosis in Concord, MA. He was just 44 years old, and yet he left an astonishing legacy as an author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian. His last words were "Now comes good sailing..."
This square is so beautiful, it's no wonder it was named "royal" (reial Catalan for royal). The elegant ambiance of the Plaça Reial is accentuated by the fountain, streetlamps and palm trees, and it is one of Barcelona's busiest, most vibrant spots, particularly at night. This is Barcelona's best-loved porticoed square.
In about 1835, many of Barcelona's religious buildings disappeared as a result of the confiscation of properties. This was the case with the former Capuchin convent which was demolished leaving a huge vacant plot behind. The current Plaça Reial was built a few years later. The architect was Francesc Molina, and he designed a luxurious square with the aim of extolling the monarchy. King Ferdinand VII, who was king at the time, was to be immortalised as a statue depicting him on horseback in the centre of the square. The monument never came to fruition and, in its place, stands the fountain of the Three Graces. The two streetlamps on both sides of the central fountain were designed by the young Antoni Gaudí. Surmounted by a winged helmet and a dragon, they were put in place in 1879. Around them, the royal palm trees grace the square lending it an exotic touch. There are uniform, noble buildings on every side with porticoes and terracotta decorations. They were the home of important Barcelona families, although this luxurious appearance has been somewhat toned down by a more bohemian atmosphere.
Today, the square is a busy nightlife hub, and the porticoes conceal restaurants, bars and some of Barcelona's most popular nightspots.
After walking up Y Garn to get onto the Nantlle Ridge it was rather pleasant. Passing clouds concealed the imposing ridge of Mynydd Drws-y-Coed and our new friend for the day walking his 11 year old dog caught up with us.
I've never seen low clouds caught on a ridge blowing over. The light was short lived before we were covered in low cloud and a bit of rain.
A Savanna Nightjar (Caprimulgus affinis) was resting at its nesting ground with pin drop silence. It is impossible to a photographer to spot it under such camouflaged condition on the ground. It looks like a degraded piece of wood on the uneven soil. Pics was taken from Purulia outskirts in West Bengal, India.

Let's Fall In Love - Ella Fitzgerald :::
I have a feeling, it's a feeling,
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, insidental sentimental aliby
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Our love is calling
Why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have an end for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
We might have and end for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover

The golden autumnal canopy of a twisted Beech Tree shrouds the Sulby River as it makes its way down through Tholt-Y-Will Glen. I’ve shot this particular gorge countless times, but this particular angle is one I’ve never tried before. I was drawn to the triangular rock and its interaction with the swirling water in the bottom right of the frame. The kiss of soft light coming in over my shoulder was the cherry on top of the cake. It’s been an incredibly productive Autumn for me as I’ve got a massive backlog of shots to work through and November still has plenty more yet to give 🍂

Two more shots showing the action around a small piece of bison dung and a fence post. As mentioned yesterday, these bison deposits are potentially a rewarding source of insect protein for enterprising corvids...
For these shots I focused on the fence post and allowed the birds to fly into the area of focus. Four or five magpies were competing for the prize. I sort of get it, having taken "bison pies" apart myself out of curiosity. They can conceal all sorts of goodies :-)
