Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects. www.tierpark-berlin.
The evil Sith Emperor wants you to come over to the dark side, resist and you will pay the consequences.
This is a humorous sign that can have serious consequences. It's seen near the start of the Cactus Forest Drive, an eight-mile scenic loop road in the Rincon Mountain District of Saguaro National Park that's mostly one-way and one-lane as it winds through the Sonoran Desert, often with a speed limit of 15 mph or less.
The Drive is popular with bicyclists, especially in the early-morning before the temperature rises and automobile traffic arrives. It features some serious ups and downs which, combined with the numerous curves, create a challenging ride. More than one biker has lost control and crashed either on the road or in the desert. Both are painful.
The Rincon Mountains, which rise to 8666' and are also in the park, are in the background. The road seen here eventually reaches their base in a spectacular portion of the drive that showcases saguaros that are far denser than those found in this area..

and today when we went walking, the consequence was a lot of squelchy mud . . .
One consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic which has received little if any media coverage has been usage of the 14 Pronto-liveried E400MMCs at Stagecoach's Mansfield depot on a wider range of routes than the Chesterfield to Nottingham service they are dedicated to. This reached a peak in April and May when they were used to cover just about every service where clearance was not an issue on the temporarily curtailed network. Usage elsewhere has fallen since the Pronto reverted to its pre-pandemic timetable in August and is now largely limited to Sundays. The 12B - which is a Sunday-only hourly service combining the Mon-Sat 11 and 12 - regularly receives two Pronto deckers, and SN18KTF (10972) captured here passing beneath the former LD&ECR line and current High Marnham Test Track in Warsop Vale with the 09:05 journey from Mansfield to Shirebrook.

The Torre Velasca is a skyscraper built in the 1950s by the BBPR architectural partnership, in Milan, Italy. The tower is part of the first generation of Italian modern architecture, while still being part of the Milanese context in which it was born, to which also belongs the Milan Cathedral and the Sforza Castle.
The tower, approximately 100 metres tall, has a peculiar and characteristic mushroom-like shape. It stands out in the city skyline, made of domes, buildings and other towers. Its structure recalls the Lombard tradition, made of medieval fortresses and towers, each having a massive profile. In such fortresses, the lower parts were always narrower, while the higher parts propped up by wood or stone beams. As a consequence, the shape of this building is the result of a modern interpretation of the typical Italian medieval castle. At the same time, BBPR in this building satisfied the functional needs of space: narrower surfaces on the ground, wider and more spacious ones on the top floors. The town planning laws, then, imposed specific volumes (depending on the buildings' purpose); in this tower, the latter being the mixed functions of residential and commercial use.
The tower is located in the city centre of Milan, Italy, near the Duomo (Milan Cathedral) and the headquarters of the University of Milan, between the streets "corso di Porta Romana" and "via Larga". One of the exits of the Missori metro station is located right in front of it.
In 2011, the tower was placed under protection as a historic building.

Spent lunch at the library today. I read on BBC this morning that 2007 is predicted to be the warmest year on record.
Exxon might want to watch their step.
my part 2 to 'freeing fears' me and some amazing other people went up to the location right when the sun was setting on sunday night (right before school) and messed around climbing trees and taking random photos.
I knew with this photo I wanted to use more contrast to create less of a whisky feel and a little bit harsher, whilst keeping that magical effect; it took me a while to get it just how I wanted it to -a challenge- and I'm happy with the outcome.
Another fear tackled: slowing down and not worrying on the outcome & also letting go and not considering consequences.

12-16c Church of St.Michael the Archangel, Halam, Nottinghamshire - www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3z1vtc At the time of the Norman conquest Halam belonged to the Archbishop of York's estate of Southwell which had been granted by King Eadwig in 956. Later Halam together with other nearby churches belonged to Southwell Minster with the status of a chapel of ease, its priests living at Southwell until the vicarage was built in 1908.
The first burial in the churchyard was James May in November 1582 after a petition for licence to bury their dead here "as in consequence of the distance to Southwell and the dangers of the roads, especially in Winter, they cannot without great difficulty take the bodies thither"
All restored 1884-9 by Ewan Christian, who described the building as "miserable and damp" with rebuilt south aisle and north porch.
This is Hringur. He's an idiot. Also only 6 months old. He thought he'd make a noise at a huge sheep and she came after him. I had to go between even though I'm scared shitless of ewes but fortunately she was more scared of me.

I originally made this, as a gift of little consequence, for a friend who was struggling a bit with the ups and downs of life.
One of the defining features we have as human beings is the ability we have to comprehend and appreciate beauty. And I find, if I only look, nature has installed beauty all around for me to enjoy.
Images like this, reminiscent of mandalas, always remind me of the beauty flowers with their regular symmetry, bright colours, intricate detail. I also find them strangely peaceful to contemplate…
I was hoping, then, that my friend would enjoy something that was calming, absorbing, and perhaps a little uplifting.
So a gift of little consequence, but hopefully one of some significance :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :)

A consequence of having a busy couple of weeks is that you don't have enough time to look at your shots and see what you've got!
This is an image from the edge of the Quantock Hills, in an early morning mist. I've processed it to give an almost artistic illustration feel as you could barely make out the scene and I think it shows the mood of the title really well; the trees are patiently waiting for the weather to warm up so they can 'get dressed' again!
The result or effect, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant.

I was using my Coolpix 995 and didn't realize that I had not returned the settings to normal after shooting some color negatives with the slide/film holder. So, imagine my surprise when I took this image and wondered why in hell it looked like a color negative!

Male drag ‘artist’ dances for kids at Vatican’s World Children’s Day:
“Catholics have expressed horror after a male performance artist danced in drag for young children during Pope Francis’ first World Children’s Day this weekend.”

No shock here! The pope is a Marxist and a heretic.
At one time, if a man bent over and lifted up his skirt in front of children he would have been arrested. Now, he is invited by the pope to groom children at the Vatican—with the applause of parents of course. Doesn’t the Catholic Church already have a bad reputation for sexual abuse?
Can anyone say: Revelation’s whore on the beast!?!
The Silent Pacifier Aftermath: A Tale of Consequences on the Pavement
Here, captured at pavement level amidst the vibrant blur of market life, lies not merely a lost pacifier, but the tangible echo of a recent, potent drama. Its soft, peachy hue and gentle curves belie the raw energy that propelled it to this desolate spot. This wasn't an accidental slip from a pram or a gentle drift from a pocket; this was a deliberate act, a tiny, furious declaration of independence.
The scene itself, if one were to zoom out just a moment in time, spoke volumes. A tantrum, recently concluded, left its mark not in lingering cries, but in this quiet, discarded symbol. The parent, now moving away, has left behind more than just the pacifier; they've left a silent, powerful consequence. Perhaps it was a pedagogical choice, a lesson in the immediate aftermath of a defiant throw. Perhaps it was a moment of sheer parental exhaustion, a silent surrender to the fleeting chaos of a market day.
The pacifier remains, not simply lost, but seemingly unretrieved. It's a small, poignant testament to the ebb and flow of childhood emotion and the complex dynamics of family life played out on the public stage. The very act of leaving it behind transforms it from a comforting object into a marker of a moment – a tiny monument to a vanquished tantrum, waiting now for the indifferent tread of countless feet to erase its vivid story from the ground. It compels us to wonder about the child, the parent, and the unresolved quiet that now hangs over this small, soft item, so recently a source of profound comfort, now a silent, vivid consequence.
One of the features of the Sk8 Park in Grimsby, Ontario is a group of small billboard-style panels specifically intended to host the artistic expressions of those visiting the site. As a result, graffiti is encouraged in places that are acceptable. Furthermore, periodic cleanup of the panels by town staff ensures regular refreshment of the subject matter. This image was taken in mid-February, the dead of Winter, so the snow-covered park was not in regular use and had not been for several months. The last round of painting had been ignored, likely waiting for Spring to get a refresh, with the consequence being the multiple layers of paint had weathered and flaked off leaving colourful abstracts when viewed up close. This section features and area with yellow and green patches. - JW
