A cooperative Spotted Towhee gave me several poses while he sang continuously. Seen at Red Rocks Park, (near Denver, Colorado).
Oxburgh Hall ("OX bru") is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England, today in the hands of the National Trust. Built around 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, Oxburgh has always been a family home, not a fortress. The manor of Oxborough came to the Bedingfeld family by marriage before 1446, and the house has been continuously inhabited by them since their construction of it in 1482.
Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland. The Castle, which resembles a French château with its towering conical spires, has seen the architectural influences of Sir Charles Barry, who designed London’s Houses of Parliament.
they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.

On a fascinating hike with my friend Lothar on the Schynigen Platte with a view of the Oberberghorn (2069 m) above the fog line.
What a gorgeous day! The view of the wonderful panorama changed continuously with the fog. We enjoyed the peaceful silence and the feeling of freedom - such days should never end...

The Lacon Bridge is a continuous through bridge over the Illinois River on Illinois Route 17 at Lacon in Marshall County. Built in 1939, it is one of the oldest crossings of the Illinois River. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1990, and is tentatively scheduled for repairs to the structural steel, painting the entire structure, concrete repairs to the piers and abutments, and repairing the existing lighting in 2023.
This bridge has a distinctive appearance because its top chord and end posts visually seem comparatively smaller than one would expect to the point where they do not look much larger or heavier than the other truss members. As such, from a visual standpoint, all the members and chords on the bridge look to be about the same size. This is quite different from a traditional bridge of this design.
This is one of those bridges that looks exactly like a cantilever truss, with a variable depth truss forming "towers" over the piers, however it appears to lack hinges which means that it functions as a continuous truss, not a cantilever truss. As such, it does not have a suspended span. A series of steel stringer spans provide an approach to the through truss spans.
Marshall County, located in north central Illinois, is primarily an agriculture county. Lacon, the county seat, is the second most populous city in the county behind Henry with a recorded population of 1,878 at the 2020 census.

A stunning male Mourning popped out for a brief moment. Sometimes you just need to be patient and wait, I heard him singing continuously along a busy trail, people walking by watching this crazy person stare at a vegetation along the entrance to a trail with a giant lens, but for a brief moment of quiet he jumped out on this lovely perch and made the wait worth it!

When the light reaches the throat of the Brazilian Ruby Hummingbird (male), the green feathers change to golden or to ruby depending on the angle you are looking and the angle the of the light itself.
In these two photos you can see part of the transformation: golden in the first photo and light ruby (something more similar to orange) in the second photo. But I assure to you that the throat really changes to vibrant ruby tone depending of the light and movement of the bird too.
7 fun facts about hummingbirds
1- The indigenous gave very suggestive names to the hummingbirds, which perfectly described these charming birds:
For the "Caraíbas indians", they were the “colibris”, which means “resplendent area”.
The "Tupis" called them “guainumbis”, that is, “sparkling birds”.
For the "Guarani indians", on the other hand, hummingbirds were the “mainumbis”, that is, “those who enchant, next to the flower, with its light and splendor”.
2- Its huge heart, which represents 19 to 22% of the total body weight, facilitates the rapid circulation of blood.
3- In a single day, they are able to ingest nutritious substances up to 8 times their body weight.
4- Some hummingbirds develop average speeds ranging from 30 to 70 km per hour and the vibration of the wings can reach 50 to 70 beats per second.
5- They are the only birds that can literally stand still in the air, take off and land vertically, and even reverse in mid-flight.
6- The spectacular color of hummingbirds originates from the phenomenon of refraction of light, through the microstructure of the feathers. The color changes, observed in the same bird, vary according to the angle of incidence of sunlight or the movement of the body.
7- They say that Igor Sirkorski, who invented the helicopter, based his ideas on the continuous observation of the flight of hummingbirds. However, the helicopter cannot fly upside down. Hummingbirds can.
A resident Leafbird that is found in forest areas around the country. I had sighted this bird several times, but never had a decent shot. The pair have a golden patch on their foreheads from which they get their name.
The Leafbirds are bright green birds always seen foraging on the upper canopies. They eat tree spiders, larvae and other insects found on the bark of the tree. I think this one is a female judging by pale golden orange color on its forehead. The male was trying to woo the female with songs continuously, but the female wasn't interested at all. This went on for almost 30 mins after which time both disappeared downslope on the hill away from view.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Yashka is ready to play continuously, but we are not able to satisfy his requests. And Yashka is often bored, but sometimes he plays with his toys alone, or chases the cat around the garden.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

The "Blue Water Bridge", a 1938 international bridge between Port Huron, Michigan and Point Edward, Ontario, Canada, is actually two bridges.
The first bridge, built in 1938, is a "Cantilever Truss Bridge". It was built high enough to allow commercial freighters and military vessels to pass beneath, and was 6178 feet (1883m) in length.
Eventually, the bridge was accessed by three major highways, and the traffic became too heavy, so a second bridge was built in 1997 alongside the first bridge, allowing one-way traffic on each bridge. The new bridge was a "continuous bowspring arch" bridge built to look similar to the first bridge.
The bridges are jointly owned by Canada and the US.

Sleek, fast-flying large falcon. Always look for a grayish back in adults, long wings that almost reach the tail tip, and powerful but slender build. Dark mark below each eye varies in shape and size. Juveniles are more heavily patterned below than adults, and can be quite brownish above. Patterning varies considerably across a wide global range, with back color ranging from pale gray in Central Asian “Red-capped” to slaty-blue across much of northern Eurasia North America, to almost black in Asian “Shaheen.” Chases prey down at high speeds with continuous powerful wingbeats. Becoming increasingly common in parts of range, especially in cities, where they can nest on tall buildings and feed on pigeons. Adaptable, and can be seen in a wide range of habitats; often encountered in areas with steep cliffs, as well as around coastal mudflats and open areas with shorebirds. (eBird)

This young peregrine was living up to his billing by harassing the shorebirds along the Lake Ontario shoreline. A second bird showed up and there was a brief aerial battle. It was possibly this bird's sibling since the battle looked more like play and less like dominance. It's the first time I've ever caught a peregrine in flight and I'm pretty happy with the results.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine located in the town of Wieliczka in southern Poland, lies within the Kraków metropolitan area. Opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation.
Throughout, the royal mine was run by the Żupy krakowskie Salt Mines company.
The Wieliczka salt mine reaches a depth of 327 meters and is over 287 kilometres (178 mi) long.
The rock salt is naturally grey in various shades, resembling unpolished granite rather than the white or crystalline look that many visitors may expect.
In the 13th century, rock salt was discovered in Wieliczka and the first shafts were dug.
The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as "the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland". In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites. Even the crystals of the chandeliers are made from rock salt that has been dissolved and reconstituted to achieve a clear, glass-like appearance.

It snowed on and off all day today; at times I couldn't see two meters ahead of me. We've had it unconventionally well this year that many were surprised at the above-average temperatures and little snow. Well, here it all comes in a package: snow, wind, snow, wind, and chill, chill, chill. We're expecting a -39 with wind-chill effects in some areas around us (Southwestern Ontario). Still, not complaints. The kids are having the time of their lives and are enjoying every inch of snow... Wish you all a warm weekend! Stay warm...

Weather Can Change Rapidly in the Northern Adriatic and Especially at Cape Kamenjak Where the Winds Easily Swell the Sea whose Waters Are Deep up to the Shore
After Bora wind and cold and a couple of sunny days, an Atlantic front is preceded by southern currents that channel into the Adriatic Sea.
Thus the other recurring wind of these areas is generated, which is the Jugo (Scirocco in Italian) coming from the S/E or S/SE.
It is a wind originating from opposite currents to those that activate the bora, it is a matter of humid and mild Mediterranean or North African air masses.
What the two winds have in common is that the Jugo also has an orographic component, felt in a particular way along the Croatian coast on the mainland which from Dalmatia goes up towards the Kvarner, with characteristics that at times recall the bora as the currents are channeled between the dinaric gates the sea channels and the islands, thus generating not only an isobaric winds, whose direction of origin is generally varied (following the disposition of the isobars which are constantly changing), but also orographic, therefore falling from the Dinaric Alps with a fixed direction with irregular and drying gusts, which are, sometimes, strong and rabid, being able to reach 90/100kmph, exceptionally 120kmph, in some areas, especially along the Velebitski Kanal/Velebit Channel and, less accentuated, in Kvarnerić, between Otok Cres and Otok Krk.
It is therefore a recurring wind and for this reason it has a name, while the winds caused only by LP isobars, however continuous and intense, often change direction and are therefore defined only according to the quadrant of the wind rose from which they temporarily come.
In this case/shot the southern currents were not very intense and the wind was only moderate, generating normal waves for this area, i.e. about 2/2.5 meters in height, but in case of stormy situations (with very narrow isobars, as in the storm of Jugo/Scirocco of 29 October 2018) the waves on this cape can reach 6/7 meters in height, taking along the entire Adriatic from South to North for hundreds of kilometers and resulting in the place where the waves are most highest of all the small Adriatic.
Furthermore, Cape Kamenjak is quite distant from the islands and the Dalmatian coast, therefore the coastal orographic effects are felt much less and more the isobaric ones with the direction of origin more often oriented from S/SE instead of S/E, although this is also a form of channeling, i.e. the currents are channeled into the Adriatic, as if it were a wide channel and the Adriatic has an axis from S/SE towards N/NW, the resulting wind is therefore continuous and humid, sometimes with high average speeds, but without significant gusts, favoring regular swell.
The recurring wind from S/E or S/SE which mainly affects the central-northern Adriatic is a partially isobaric and partially orographic wind, this means that almost all the Atlantic perturbations that approach these areas activate (almost always) the jugo and much more rarely winds from the full South or South-West, which are only isobaric and therefore of short duration and non-recurring, generally present when the front passes and the isobars bend towards the west.

The most beautiful journey in the world!
The Atlantic Road takes you from lush coastal landscapes and heaths to bare rocks along the exposed Hustadvika, where you can see the sun sink into the horizon. This National Tourist Route has been called the world’s most beautiful drive and has been voted the “Norwegian construction of the century”.
The Atlantic Road connects the island of Averøy with the mainland via a series of small islands and islets spanned by a total of eight bridges over 8,274 meters. The road was opened in 1989 and is toll free.
The Atlantic Road has National Tourist Route status, and the entire stretch between Bud and Kristiansund is one continuous experience packed with coastal scenery, culture and history.
The contrasts between a trip on a sunny and tranquil summer day compared to a foam-sprayed journey in a storm from the northwest are huge. But whether the ocean is flat calm or cascading over the road, the Atlantic Road experience will give you memories for life.
