This was another shot, where I have to hide myself from bird nest. She was keep coming and checking the spot for any invaders, finally I walked away when she was hovering above and came back after she left and hide behind trees and vegetation. I was merely 20 feet from the nest, thank god that I had zoom with me, otherwise it would be very difficult to keep the whole action in frame. Well, it was worth the effort!

Mais tout ce qui a l'eau pour fondement n'a pas plus de réalité qu'un songe, qu'un mirage. Personne n'a jamais considéré l'eau comme un élément stable. Comment une construction sur l'eau pourrait-elle être indéfiniment solide? In La conférence des oiseaux, Farid Al-Din Attar

"Eglise Saint-Chrysogone (sv. Krševan) - basilique abbatiale La basilique abbatiale du monastère des bénédictins est placée sous le patronage de saint Chrysocale. Ses trois nefs terminent en trois absides semi-circulaires. Ce sanctuaire abrite un maître-autel de 1701, ex-voto des citoyens de Zadar après le passage de la peste. Quatre statues de marbre blanc ont été ajoutées ultérieurement, qui représentent les saints patrons de la ville de Zadar : Anastasie, Chrysogone, Siméon et Zoïle
Zadar"The church of the Benedictine Monastery named after the patron saint. It is a three nave church, ending in three semi circular apses. The main altar was constructed in 1701 in the shrine as the fulfilment of a vow made by the citizens of Zadar to save them from the plague. Later on, four white marble statues representing the patron saints of Zadar (Anastasia, Grisigono, Simon and Zoilo) were added."

The station was constructed by the Midland Railway (MR), to connect its extensive rail network, across the Midlands and North of England, to a dedicated line into London. After rail traffic problems following the 1862 International Exhibition, the MR decided to build a connection from Bedford to London with its own terminus. The station was designed by William Henry Barlow, with wrought iron pillars supporting a single-span roof. At 689 feet (210 m) by 240 feet (73.2 m) wide, and 100 feet (30.5 m) high, it was then the largest enclosed space in the world. Following the station's opening 1 October 1868, the MR built the Midland Grand Hotel on the station's façade. George Gilbert Scott won the competition to design it, with an ornate Gothic red-brick scheme. St Pancras has been widely praised for its architecture and is now a Grade I listed building.
" The time of war is almost over, now the time to rebuild is come. Well, to build for us, since we lost everything, including our old home. We live since a month now in an old fishing village, surrounded by cliffs and mountains. Yesterday, me and the council decided to call our little town Greyhaven. And that same day, our worked finished the construction of a defensive wall. Everyone has a house now. Greyhaven is ready to expend"

Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace and the lake around it were renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber
In the past, at the location of the lake, there was a natural depression where water used to accumulate. During 1596 AD, when there was a severe famine in this region there was consequent acute shortage of water. The then ruler of Ajmer was, therefore, motivated to build a dam to store water to overcome the severe hardships caused by the famine to the people inhabiting the region. A dam was constructed, initially using earth and quartzite, across the eastern valley between Amer hills and Amagarh hills. The dam was later converted into a stone masonry structure in the 17th century. The dam, as existing now (see picture), is about 300 metres (980 ft) long and 28.5–34.5 metres (94–113 ft) in width. It is provided with three sluice gates for release of water for irrigation of agricultural land in the down stream area. Since then, the dam, the lake and the palace in its midst have undergone several rounds of restoration under various rulers of Rajasthan but the final restoration in the 18th century is credited to Jai Singh II of Amer. During this period, a number of other historical and religious places, such as the Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Khilangarh Fort, Kanak Vrindavan Valley were also built in the vicinity of the lake. All these places are now linked under a tourist corridor of road net work.

The Regent Bowerbird is found in southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range. The male and female Regent Bowerbirds look distinctly different. You can find an image of a male Regent Bowerbird here: www.flickr.com/gp/kkr_images/xDM19C7Ai9
The male Regent Bowerbird, in common with all male bowerbirds, builds and maintains a bower at which it mates with several females. The bower is a small open 'avenue type', which means it is not attached at the top. It consists of twigs and is 15 cm - 20 cm long and 30 cm high.
The actual nest, constructed by the female, is a shallow saucer of twigs and leaves, lined with leaves. It is often placed in a clump of mistletoe or a thin fork. The nest may be well away from the male's bower. Only the female builds the nest, incubates the eggs, and cares for the young.

Garden City, NY.
Had one more image to share from the inside of the "Cathedral of the Incarnation", this time looking out to the towering rear exit of the church. This shot was captured with a wide angle lens to help further accentuate the high walls and soaring ceiling of this beautiful cathedral.
