Photo taken August 8, 2016 on Iford XP2 film with an Olympus OM-10 camera, Tokina 35-100mm lens and orange filter from a ranger station in the Franklin Mountains at an altitude of about 5900 feet. Image was post processed with Adobe Elements. Image is overlaid with an untitled texture created by Stephanie found here: www.flickr.com/photos/stephanie_in_love/4770304145/ with Creative Commons license: creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ .
cattle, with their typical mouth-to-the-ground pose
a beef steer on average eats about 12kg of grass per day
....that's why they are nearly always eating.
Most of us humans (certainly us folks on Flickr that live in rich countries) have a much easier time finding calories ...for work rest and play ...and so we tend to look up more often than cattle.

This is a shot from my descent down from the Matterhorn. From this high up, it truly is a birds eye view of the valley below. Again, it's another shot from a week or two ago. I'm back in California now.
Two merging galaxies in the VV689 system — nicknamed the Angel Wing —feature in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike chance alignments of galaxies which only appear to overlap as seen from our vantage point on Earth, the two galaxies in VV689 are in the midst of a collision. The galactic interaction has left the VV689 system almost completely symmetrical, giving the impression of a vast set of galactic wings.
This angelic image comes from a set of Hubble observations inspecting the highlights of the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. This crowdsourced astronomy project relied on hundreds of thousands of volunteers to classify galaxies and help astronomers wade through a deluge of data from robotic telescopes. In the process, volunteers discovered a rogues’ gallery of weird and wonderful galaxy types, some of which had not previously been studied. A similar, ongoing project called Radio Galaxy Zoo is using the same crowdsourcing approach to locate supermassive black holes in distant galaxies.
Noteworthy objects from both projects were chosen for detailed follow-up observations with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. In keeping with the crowdsourced nature of the Galaxy Zoo project, the targets for follow-up observations with Hubble were chosen via roughly 18 000 votes cast by the public. The selected targets include ring-shaped galaxies, unusual spirals, and a striking selection of galaxy mergers such as VV689.

I unexpectedly came across these 3 explorers this morning when i was taking the camera for a quick walk down the river.
They had just got their boat into the water at Kilmore bridge about a kilometer upstream of this point. On chatting to them (the boat was moving slowly!) it transpired that they were intending to get to the old Quoile barrier which i reckon is about 12km downstream. They hadn't done it before.
I warned them about some of the weirs and rapids coming up.
I'm not sure if the journey is actually even possible in a boat like this. The chap at the front had to get out at a couple of weirs that I saw them get over and the ones they have to come are much more extreme.
i wonder did they make it and, if not, how far did they get. ...& how they manage to get the boat out of the river too!

Driving in the Driving rain, what else are you going to go with it? One of my favorite stretches of road that remains oddly quiet most days, even though it's just a couple of miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. Looking southwest towards New Zealand.

This was our neighbor's house, he lived here when I was growing up. Of course he's passed on now, and the house is abandoned. So many of the places that were once occupied are now empty, either repurposed as farm buildings or slowly decaying.
Another shot of the Lake Berryessa Glory Hole. My timing sucked, with the hole-side of the valley in shadow.
Other pic here, which gives a better sense of scale. Link. The drop is over 200 feet, over 60 meters straight down, the diameter is 72 feet or about 22 meters. Somebody has of course fallen in, and needless to say, perished.
Lake Berryessa is artificial, a flooded valley. Somewhere deep under there was once the town of Monticello. As well as forcibly moving the residents, they also moved a cemetery, which was relocated to the banks for the lake.
Today is day 276 of Project 365
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Dimorphos was taken on 19 December 2022, nearly four months after the asteroid was impacted by NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. Hubble’s sensitivity reveals a few dozen boulders knocked off the asteroid by the force of the collision. These are among the faintest objects Hubble has ever photographed inside the Solar System. The ejected boulders range in size from 1 m to 6.7 m across, based on Hubble photometry. They are drifting away from the asteroid at around 1 km per hour. The discovery yields invaluable insights into the behaviour of a small asteroid when it is hit by a projectile for the purpose of altering its trajectory.
[Image Description: The bright white object at lower left is the asteroid Dimorphos. It has a blue dust tail extending diagonally to the upper right. A cluster of blue dots surrounds the asteroid. These are boulders that were knocked off the asteroid when, on 26 September 2022, NASA deliberately slammed the half-tonne DART impactor spacecraft into the asteroid as a test of what it would take to deflect some future asteroid from hitting Earth. Hubble photographed the slow-moving boulders in December 2022.]

A quick drive down to the Grand Canyon (3 days) before returning to work tomorrow. Spectacular as always, with lots of snow on the rim, and a dusting on the walls.

A Western Bluebird dropped by yesterday afternoon. Although they're around, I think this is the first time, I've ever had one at my house.
Zermatt, it's a pleasant town, but seriously they need to sort out all the traffic!!! This was base camp to getting up closer to the Matterhorn. I warned you all that I would be posting more gratuitous Matterhorn images!!! This is from a couple of weeks ago in Switzerland.
The whole traffic thing is a joke of course. Zermatt is actually combustion engine free, only electric and "grass-powered" vehicles up here. Which means you can't actually drive here, you need to take the spectacular cogwheel train to get to the village. Steep sections of the railway have cogs to stop the train from slipping backward or going down too quickly.
The horseman's outfit matches the Valais flag, which is the canton that Zermatt is in.
Another ridiculously early morning shot in the rain and wet grass, but as we say in Ireland, "A damp day, thank God!"
I took this a week ago, just getting to put it up now. My only shot of last Sunday. I thought it looked a bit shamrocky, even though they're clover leaves, so looks like a place a Leprechaun might leave his umbrella!
Today is day 192 of Project 365 (Sunday).
I am a bit short of current fly pictures these days ...must try to correct that this weekend.
Happy FlyDay Friday!
Not original. This is a extreme closeup of a painting in the lobby of a building somewhere in the Chicago loop.
This is the vibrant liquid light from the stained glass windows of the Sagrada Familia. The color comes from 100% filtered sunlight. Astonishing genius from Gaudi, the light changed continuously while I was there.
I went cycling yesterday to see the fall colours. It was an enjoyable experience aside from the wind. According to the markings, it appears that this bridge was built in 1919.
