Taken at RSPB Arne, Dorset. Not my first sightings this year but my first images taken. Not in the best of condition but a good sign that spring is just round the corner. Last year was not the best with many species dropping in the number counted within the county so hoping this could be a better start for 2017.
My first photo of a Common Kestrel (male) in wildlife condition.
Sun was in front of me, I was far and I didnt even reconize it.
I did one photo to see what kind of bird was on the top of this tree and I saw a Kestrel.
So these photos are very big crop.
The in flight photo was completly blured as I used my still setttings (1/1000s) and Topaz AI sharpen saved it with its Stabilize function.
ps : grey/blue head's feathers means it's a male

Yes, you’ve seen it once before from a different angle. This fall, it’s in a little worse condition. The holes are bigger, the roof sags a little more. How many more autumns does it have? I’ll keep you posted....
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order.

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)
(Double click)
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

ENG: The Schäzlerpalais Staircase in Augsburg can be seen, this museum houses the municipal and state art collection. It is located at the Herkulesbrunnen, directly at the corner of Maximilianstraße and Katharinengasse and used to be the city palace of a banker.
The former Palais House on site was replaced by a new building in 1765. This rococo palace was built according to plans by the Munich court architect Karl Albert von Lespilliez. The construction work took four and a half years. In October 1958, Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (fourth generation) donated the building to the city of Augsburg on condition that it never be sold and used exclusively for cultural purposes.
GER: Zu sehen ist das Augsburger Schäzlerpalais Treppenhaus, dieses Museum beherbergt die städtische und staatliche Kunstsammlung. Es liegt am Herkulesbrunnen, direkt an der Maximilianstraße Ecke Katharinengasse und war früher das Stadtschloss eines Bankiers.
Das ehemalige Palais Haus vor Ort wurde ab 1765 durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Dieses Rokoko-Palais entstand nach Plänen des Münchner Hofbaumeisters Karl Albert von Lespilliez. Die Baumaßnahmen dauerten viereinhalb Jahre. Im Oktober 1958 schenkte Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (in vierter Generation) das Gebäude der Stadt Augsburg mit der Auflage, es niemals zu veräußern und ausschließlich für kulturelle Zwecke zu nutzen.

No , not that one 'cos it is up over at Godrevy - this one is down south at The Lizard Point as far down south as you can get !!
The Lizard Lighthouse stands at Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland Britain.
It acts as a coastal mark and to indicate landfall, guiding shipping passing along the English Channel and warning them of the dangerous waters here.
The current lighthouse with its two towers was built in 1751 but there was a working light here as early as 1619. This early lighthouse was erected thanks to the generosity of Sir John Killigrew, who applied for a patent which was granted on the condition that the light would be extinguished in time of war so it did not help to guide enemy vessels.
Killigrew agreed and erected the lighthouse but while he was sufficiently wealthy to have it built, the cost of maintaining it proved too much and almost bankrupted him. He had hoped that the vessels who benefited from the light would contribute towards its upkeep but unfortunately this did not happen. James I ordered that all ships who passed the light should pay a halfpenny per ton. Pressure from the unhappy ship owners who disagreed with this tax on them forced the patent to be revoked so the light was extinguished and the tower was subsequently demolished.
Although requests were made, it was not until 1748 that Thomas Fonnereau was given the go ahead by Trinity House to construct a new lighthouse. Completed in 1751 it is the building you see today with its two towers linked by a cottage in which one of the keepers would sit keeping an eye on both lanterns. If the fires became low he would sound a cow horn to let the others know it was time to stoke up the fires with the bellows.
In 1771, Trinity House took over the running of the Lizard lighthouse.
From 1903 onwards only the east tower was lit.
Automation came to the lantern in 1998 so the lighthouse keepers were no longer required.
The lantern has been removed from the western tower.
Lighthouse Cottages
The former lighthouse keepers' cottages are available to rent as holiday cottages.
Click on Lizard Lighthouse Accommodation and go to Holiday Cottages for details.
Please note the lighthouse itself is a working lighthouse and cannot be rented.
Another contemporary photo made to look old using the Tintype app. Backing off on the plate grain control gives the photos more of a turn of the century look (maxing out the plate grain gives a sort of mid 19th century look). Additional effects such as sepia tone and water staining are done in Photoshop. To really sell this, all traces modern living such as air conditioners, power lines, electric lighting, etc have to be edited out.
Currently, I'm officially open to invitation for any collaboration or sponsorship who are interested with my exclusive photography project.

Portable Air Conditioning what ever works theory, old building with out any AC found in a small town in North Carolina.
Sometimes in winter, when there is no wind at all, smog can accumulate in the air above the city.
Sad, that it's a common weather condition in Siberia during winter when there is no wind for a long time.

Beam me up scotty, righty-O captain. And that was Kirk away, leaving me and the dogs in this misty woodland. This is a track I take every morning when I’m down in Royston, usually in the pitch black needing a head torch, I know it so well, but it’s never like this. The condition gods aligned on this mornings dog walk, luckily I was carrying my XH1, unluckily it was armed with the usual 70-300mm, I could of done with the xt30 18-55mm combo left at my daughters. I was also carrying my Sony rx100 vi, so I snapped a few photos with that but as yet have not looked at them. Every morning from then on I also carried the xt30 but I never got conditions like this again, I hope Capt Kirk made it to the Enterprise in one piece, I don’t trust those newfangled transporter beams.

'Little Sparrow'
Hi' I'm a little sparrow with feathers somewhat bland,
don't let that fool you, for I'm a singer in a band ....
I knock around the houses, searching for some bread,
me and my band-mates are happy to be fed ....
We are small and nifty, make the garden swing, we chatter to each other, and 'oh boy' can't we sing.

And this flood, this flood is slowly rising up,
Swallowing the ground beneath my feet
Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition, so
I'll swim, I'll swim as the water rises up, sun is sinking down and now
All I can see are the planets in a row suggesting it's best that I
Slow down, this night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room
When I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue

St. Nikolai church and *Angel with Trumpet* in Simrishamn. The oldest parts of the church date back to at least 1161, when it was just a small fishermans chapel.
There are two sculptures by Carl Milles at the church. *The Sisters* was acquired in 1953, and was offered by Milles at a reduced price on condition that the cement, covering the exterior of the church, be removed to reveal the underlying stonework.
The *Angel with trumpet* arrived at the church in 1978, but that shadow just makes me think of Peter Pan!
