I watched her as she circled the harbor, with the intense sunset sky magnificently changing minute by minute. Each shot I took of her was quite different in color and light, constantly and methodically changing. I knew that on her last turn to Port I would have her at the perfect spot and at the perfect time. This shot was the darkest and most mysterious. Did not disappoint. Only problem: I love them all.

Curiosidades : De carácter un tanto inquieto y esquivo, se desplaza constantemente mientras trepa por los troncos y ramas de los árboles, comportamiento que ha dado origen a su nombre. Habita preferentemente bosques maduros emplazados en territorios con clima húmedo. Anida en huecos cuya entrada modifica añadiendo barro.
The second law of thermodynamics states, "Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location to a hotter location." In other words, there is a constant decay and disorganization that happens in nature from order to disorder in attempt to equalize energy across the system. Entropy is the measure of this disorganization as observed here with this fence. Originally a part of the 1952 movie Shane, it has since been moving from a state of orgization to a state of dissaray.

The regulars may remember a post from a few weeks ago, linked below, showing this winter's cliff erosion due to the constant storms. It included the prediction that a particular section of the coastal path would 'go' i.e. collapse. That has now happened with the South West Coast Path being closed at that location in the last day or two.
The photo above was taken earlier this week at a location some 30 miles / 50 kms west of my original post. Certain sections of the SWCP have also been closed in this area in recent years and diversions put in place. It is now official that Britain had the wettest February since records began, so more cliff falls are certain, even when the weather becomes drier and warmer.

Park car Sibley Park has been moved so that it is near a gate at one end of the Angus Pavilion, as it is supposed to be refurbished in the near future.
I'm constantly here at this park as you could see through my photostream and it is so nice to see something different and positive at the same time!
Looks like someone was busy Sunday evening when these sculptures were discovered Monday morning on the Humber river near the Old Mill. Everyone was scambling to find out who did it when the artist uncovered his identity by revealing himself to the Star.
"It was a real thrill to see it in the paper," Riedel told the Toronto Star. "It was a nice way to wake up with a coffee."
Riedel started balancing rocks a few years ago when he saw a man doing it in Vancouver's English Bay "I find it a really nice way to relax and get a bit of a workout at the same time," he said.
I think he meant to say, "Creating sculptures at dusk is the only way to alleviate the throbbing pain of losing my one true love."
It's amazing how some of these can stand upward the way they do. Lets hope this stays on the river for a long time! We need more Peter Riedels in this world! A true passionate artist!

(Ploceus castaneiceps)
Leganga - Arusha
Tanzânia
We just returned from about two weeks spent in Tanzania, and I have to say it was by far our worst trip ever. The country, the people, the landscapes, and the birdlife and wildlife in general warrant a return visit — but the guide we somewhat naively chose was an absolute disaster.
A presumptuous, egocentric, narcissistic, arrogant, Trump-supporting, climate-change-denying, constantly self-flattering individual who fancies himself a great photographer (he describes his own photos as "fucking good").
His photos are mediocre, some even out of focus, but for a birder just looking to document sightings, that’s normal, and I accepted it. If only he’d had the humility to simply show us the birds and let us handle the photography. Instead, every time we had a chance to photograph a bird, he’d lecture us on how we should do it—even scolding us for checking our shots on the camera. He never did that himself, using his Nikon D850 (what a waste) almost in point-and-shoot mode (his own words).
He kept insisting he was a photographer and knew all about the importance of light, but every single day, we saw it was pure theory—he had zero practical skills. He’d constantly forget and sulk when we pointed it out. Basically, if the background was blue sky, the light was good; if it was cloudy, the light was bad. That was the extent of his knowledge of light and photography.
On the very first day, his first attempt was taking us to a lake hoping to find an African Black Duck. Well, as our friend A. Guerra would say, ironically, when things go bad, at least we didn’t see it—because the photos would have been a complete disaster. The access to the lake was directly facing the sun, with glare all over the water. It would have been a huge frustration.
At the middle of day, with terrible strong light, he decided show us a colony of Taveta Weavers — only for our disappointment to deepen as they were entirely backlit. When we mentioned the lighting issue, he simply ignored us (something he’d do systematically for as long as we endured him). I had to push through thick vegetation and small water ditches to find a better angle, while he seemed annoyed at how long we took to get a decent shot.
(Another thing that bothered him was us not knowing a species’ name or mispronouncing it.)
But that was just the first day. The following days were a series of unpleasant situations, multiple arguments — the last one shouting — until we gave up on his services (already paid for) and had to scramble for an alternative. I’ll talk about that in future posts.
I won’t name him here, but if you send me a private message, I’ll tell you who he is — so my friends don’t make the same mistake we did.
The only partially positive thing I can say is that, with the help of local guides, he did find the hardest-to-spot species—even if it meant risking our lives, subjecting us to two hours of being thrown around in the vehicle while completely lost off any passable trail (even for a 4x4). Not to mention his dangerously reckless driving on main roads.
----------------------------------
Acabámos de regressar de cerca de duas semanas passadas na Tanzânia e, tenho de dizer, foi de longe a nossa pior viagem de sempre. O país, as pessoas, as paisagens e a avifauna e fauna em geral merecem claramente uma nova visita — mas o guia que escolhemos, de forma algo ingénua, foi um verdadeiro desastre.
Um indivíduo presunçoso, egocêntrico, narcisista, arrogante, Trumpista, negacionista das alterações climáticas, sempre a autoelogiar-se, que se julga um grande fotógrafo (descreve as próprias fotos como “fucking good”).
As fotos dele são medianas, algumas até desfocadas, mas para um observador de aves que só quer registar os avistamentos, isso é normal — e eu aceitava. Se ao menos tivesse tido a humildade de simplesmente nos mostrar as aves e deixar a fotografia connosco. Em vez disso, sempre que havia uma oportunidade para fotografar uma ave, fazia questão de nos dar uma lição sobre como o devíamos fazer — chegando mesmo a ralhar connosco por vermos as fotos no ecrã da câmara. Ele próprio nunca o fazia, usando a NIkon D850 (que desperdício) quase em modo point-and-shot (palavras dele).
Insistia constantemente que era fotógrafo e que percebia a importância da luz, mas todos os dias víamos que isso era só teoria — não tinha qualquer implementação prática. Esquecia-se de coisas básicas e ficava amuado quando lho fazíamos notar. Basicamente, se o fundo era céu azul, a luz era boa; se estava nublado, a luz era má. Esse era o nível do seu "conhecimento" sobre luz e fotografia.
Logo no primeiro dia, a primeira tentativa foi levar-nos a um lago à procura do pato-preto-africano. Bem, como diria o nosso amigo A. Guerra, ironicamente, quando as coisas correm mal, ao menos não o vimos — porque as fotos teriam sido um desastre completo. O acesso ao lago era de frente para o sol, com irritantes reflexos de luz sobre cada molécula de água. Teria sido uma frustração enorme.
A meio do dia, com uma luz fortíssima e péssima, decidiu levar-nos a uma colónia de Tecelões-de-cabeça-ruiva — apenas para a nossa desilusão aumentar ao vermos que estavam completamente contra a luz, já de si péssima devido à hora do dia. Quando mencionámos o problema da iluminação, simplesmente ignorou-nos (algo que passou a fazer sistematicamente enquanto o aturámos). Tive de abrir caminho por vegetação densa e atravessar pequenos regos de água para conseguir um ângulo melhor, enquanto ele parecia irritado com o tempo que demorávamos a conseguir uma fotografia decente.
(Outra coisa que o incomodava era não sabermos o nome de uma espécie ou pronunciá-lo mal.)
Mas isso foi só o primeiro dia. Os dias seguintes foram uma sucessão de situações desagradáveis, várias discussões — a última já aos gritos — até que desistimos dos seus serviços (já pagos) e tivemos de procurar uma alternativa à pressa. Falarei disso em publicações futuras.
Não o vou nomear aqui, mas se me enviarem uma mensagem privada, direi quem é — para que os meus amigos não cometam o mesmo erro que nós.
A única coisa parcialmente positiva que posso dizer é que, com a ajuda de guias locais, ele de facto encontrou as espécies mais difíceis de localizar — mesmo que isso implicasse pôr a nossa vida em risco, sujeitando-nos a duas horas aos solavancos num veículo completamente perdido fora de qualquer trilho transitável (mesmo para um 4x4). Sem falar da condução perigosamente imprudente nas estradas principais.

I've been checking in on the development of this red-tailed hawk eyass over the past couple weeks. The bulging crop suggests he'd just eaten a meal. Mom has stayed very close to the nest, while dad constantly hunts in the fields.
Na etapa do Caminho Francês entre Pamplona e Puente la Reina, os peregrinos atravessam a paisagem rural de Navarra, perto de Guenduláin, onde campos de cereal ceifado se estendem até ao horizonte. O percurso, bem definido, conduz ao Alto del Perdón, um marco geográfico e simbólico reconhecível pelas suas turbinas eólicas. A serra do Perdón, com uma altitude de cerca de 770 metros, abriga o primeiro parque eólico da região, onde dezenas de aerogeradores aproveitam os ventos constantes. O Alto del Perdón, com a sua icónica escultura alusiva aos peregrinos, assinala a transição entre os vales de Pamplona e a planície de Valdizarbe, constituindo um ponto de referência essencial nesta rota jacobeia.
In the stage of the French Way between Pamplona and Puente la Reina, pilgrims cross the rural landscape of Navarre, near Guenduláin, where fields of harvested cereal extend to the horizon. The well-defined route leads to Alto del Perdón, a geographical and symbolic landmark recognizable by its wind turbines. The Perdón mountain range, with an altitude of about 770 meters, is home to the region's first wind power plant, where dozens of wind turbines take advantage of the constant winds. The Alto del Perdón, with its iconic sculpture alluding to pilgrims, marks the transition between the valleys of Pamplona and the Valdizarbe plain, constituting an essential reference point on this Jacobean route.

As photographers, we are constantly reading the life scenes around us. Even without camera in hands, we are making our compositions with our eyes.
Like the man I saw at the bus stop on Main Street, he is reading with full concentration and focus while nobody else can interfere.
Have a great happy SUNday!

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go...

The constant stream of photographers, me included, makes Bob (think I got his name right) wipe his brow as the next lot get their shots of 55 009 at Lime Street. Credit where credit is due though the platform staff ensured all who wanted a shot got one when it would have probably been easier to stop everyone from going to the platform end, quoting H&S.
This is what they're for, aren't they? The Portland Head Light stands tall and alert against an ominous sky over the Atlantic, October 16, 2023.

The landscape around 16th Street Tower is looking more and more like a wasteland these days, as development of the former B&O, NYC and Rock Island rail yard land to the north commences, and CN downgrades its Chicago Subdivision in the downtown area- the north track has been removed between 21st Street and Oakwood on the old IC main line. Through this scarred landscape, Amtrak's southbound 'Illini' creeps down the St Charles Air Line at dusk.

3 tbsps water
finely grated rind of 2 limes
3 egg yolks
8 egg whites
1 tsp cream of tarttar
Lime curd:
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3-4 limes)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 -2 lemons)
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 stick (113 g) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
Frosting:
2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp gelatin
1/4 cup water
~ 900 ml blueberries
To prepare cake, line bottoms of the 3 (8-inch) cake pans with parchment paper, coat with cooking spray.
Combine 2 cups cake flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk, until well combined.Combine oil, 1/3 cup juice, 3 tbsp water, rind and egg yolks in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add oil mixture to flour mixture, beat with a mixer at medium speed just until smooth.
Place egg whites in a large bowl, beat with with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourthof egg mixture into flour mixture, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Divide cake batter equally among prepared pans. Bake at 325F for 20 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, remove from pans. remove wax paper from cake layers. Cool completely on wire rack.
Lime curd:
Beat egg yolks and sugar until light in colour and sugar almost dissolves. Add lime juice and lemon juice, half of the zest, and salt to the egg yolk mixture. Cook in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon ( be sure to scrape the sides of the pan) until mixture is thick enough to coat back of the spoon ~8-10 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat. Add butter, stirring until smooth and the remaining zest.Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour.
For stabilized whipped cream, combine gelatin and water, allw to soften for 5 minutes, then, dissolve gelatin overlow heat. Gelatin must be liquid , but not warm.
In the chilled bowl beat the cream and sugar just until traces of beater marks begin to show distinctly. Add the gelatin mixture in a teady stream, beating constantly and beat just until stiff peaks form when beater is raised.
To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer on a plate, spread ~ 1/3 of lime curd over cake layer, scatter blueberries. Top with secon layer, 1/3 of lime curd, and blueberries and third layer. Combine the ramining lime curd with whipped cream and spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Garnish with blueberries.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured amid the constant stream of people leaving Central Station and the constant stream of heavy rain showers. Enjoy!
In the age of constant notifications, it is still possible to be surprised when trackside. The Central of Georgia heritage painted ES44AC leading eastbound 258 through the long S curve in Newport, PA was a completely unexpected but welcome surprise!
Constante. Así debe ser la tensión a la que está sometido el sistema. Días calurosos, heladas... Nada debe alterar los hilos de los que pende la seguridad ferroviaria. Robustos y sencillos, estos compensadores de concepción germana han mantenido operativas las transmisiones de la red durante decenios. Sin fanfarrias, en segundo plano. Con la misma discreción con la que desaparecen.
