Interesting to see so much conflict when there seemed to be many salmon around. The social dynamic around the Bald Eagles at a Salmon run are hard to understand.
This Tree Swallow is a lifer for me! While I was taking photos of the farrier yesterday I started noticing an interaction between this bird and a male bluebird. When I walked over he was so intense on the conflict, he could have cared less that I was literally right under him! He just kept scanning the trees and sky around him for that pesky blue bird. Tomorrow's photo will show you the Real winner of this conflict! :-)

Here you can see glimpses of a couple of the exquisitely decorated temples which form this large complex of temples.
Prominent in the foreground are huge containers for the burning of incense sticks.
It was once the royal temple of the Kingdom of Dali, originally built in the 9th century. At its height, the temple included 891 rooms, 11,400 Buddhist iconographies, three pavilions, and seven buildings. The temple was severely damaged by earthquakes and conflict during the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but was later rebuilt in 2005.
A good start for a new 2022 year! A bit nostalgic build, because it's actually an updated version of one MOC of mine originally builded for a Megabricks Festival (Moscow, Russia) back in 2015. Unfortunally I never had a chance to take a good shot of that model, so in the end of 2021 I decided to build a remake of it from scratch. So, here is a result!

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Moving quickly through the scene, this man looks straight down the barrel of my lens and shouts at me to "Wait!". Instinctively I had already pressed the shutter button and heard a few choice words mumbled in my direction as he hurried off as quickly as he had appeared. Quite a striking shot with the motion blur just emphasising his emotion in this. Wishing you all a great weekend ahead.

Seneca, South Carolina is not normally where one expects to see a pair of huge bronze statues of long ago soldiers next to a loading zone behind a strip mall! Greek? Roman? Trojans? I have no idea which army they represent, who made them, or why they’re guarding the loading zone.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in the American Southwest hosting a concentration of pueblos. The park is located in northwestern New Mexico, between Albuquerque and Farmington, in a remote canyon cut by the Chaco Wash. Containing the most sweeping collection of ancient ruins north of Mexico, the park preserves one of the most important pre-Columbian cultural and historical areas in the United States.[2]
Between AD 900 and 1150, Chaco Canyon was a major center of culture for the Ancestral Puebloans.[a] Chacoans quarried sandstone blocks and hauled timber from great distances, assembling fifteen major complexes that remained the largest buildings ever built in North America until the 19th century.[2][4] Evidence of archaeoastronomy at Chaco has been proposed, with the "Sun Dagger" petroglyph at Fajada Butte a popular example. Many Chacoan buildings may have been aligned to capture the solar and lunar cycles,[5] requiring generations of astronomical observations and centuries of skillfully coordinated construction.[6] Climate change is thought to have led to the emigration of Chacoans and the eventual abandonment of the canyon, beginning with a fifty-year drought commencing in 1130.[7]
A UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the arid and sparsely populated Four Corners region, the Chacoan cultural sites are fragile—concerns of erosion caused by tourists have led to the closure of Fajada Butte to the public. The sites are considered sacred ancestral homelands by the Hopi and Pueblo people, who maintain oral accounts of their historical migration from Chaco and their spiritual relationship to the land.[8][9] Although park preservation efforts can conflict with native religious beliefs, tribal representatives work closely with the National Park Service to share their knowledge and respect the heritage of the Chacoan culture.[10]
The park is on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways.[11]
This is by far the most wonderful Indian ruin I have ever been to. I love exploring old Indian ruins and got it from my Dad. He not only explored Indian ruins all of his life but had extensive collections of Indian artifacts and has donated them to a college in our hometown and a local museum. The American southwest is full of artifacts all over the country side and is a great pastime and a whole lot of fun :)

blurry , manual lenses are hard to focus wide open. Snap's a moment in time and no chance to try again. The conflict was so short and all ended up fine. Nobody got harmed.

Street and reportage photography from Glasgow, Scotland. The March Against Racism rally in the city was joined by, what I understand to be, an unsanctioned Pro-Palestine rally. Tensions boiled when a Pro-Israeli demonstration turned up. After a short sit-down protest in the middle of the street, the two groups were carefully separated by the massive police presence in town.
how to deal with all that conflicts in the world?

Excerpt from burlingtonculturalmap.ca:
Burlington War Memorial
Ivor Rhys Lewis, 1922
Bronze sculpture on a granite plinth
Governor General Lord Byng dedicated this cenotaph in April 1922. Originally located at the west end of Lakeside Park, later renamed to honour Spencer Smith, the monument was moved to City Hall in 1962. The cenotaph is a 10-foot granite column on a two-tier base. A seven-foot bronze statue of a Canadian soldier in First World War battle-dress tops the column, which lists the names of 38 First World War fatalities from Burlington and Nelson Township, 17 key First World War Canadian battle locations, and the names of 44 local service people who died in the Second World War. Burlington’s contributions to the military conflicts in Korea and Afghanistan, as well as peacekeepers, are recognized on the base of the monument.
A verse from the poem Pro Patria by Owen Seaman is engraved under the Second World War plaque:
To teach that he who saves himself is lost;
To bear in silence though our hearts may bleed;
To spend ourselves, and never count the cost,
For others’ greater need;
