Many, many thanks to all my Flickr friends for your visits, faves, and kind comments - you are always an inspiration and source of encouragement to me!
A long exposure at Haycock Point near Pambula on the Sapphire Coast NSW. Interesting to see the currents after using a long exposure. I was down on the rock platform earlier but the tide was coming in and later much of the rock platform would be under water. The height above is not as evident in this photo. After the steps there is a sloping rock formation to walk down, which is okay unless you stumble. Much easier climbing back up! The sea is the Tasman. Lee Big Stopper and Little Stopper used.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
My favourite tree on the Midland Highway, which connects between Hobart and Launceston in Tasmania, Australia.
I've photographed this tree on several occasions. Each time I do I notice subtle differences and deterioration in the health of the tree. A few less limbs, broken branches, etc. This grand old lifeform is reaching the end of its lifespan.
This image was taken nearly a year ago - I really have to take another shot to capture its current stand.

On this day in 2016 I spent a wonderful morning at Birds of Eden in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. Birds of Eden is a unique two hectare dome (the world’s largest) that spans a gorge of indigenous forest. Currently it is home to over 3,500 birds from over 220 species, with the main focus on African birds.
This little beauty is a Purple Glossy Starlings (Lamprotornis purpureus) - also simply known as Purple Starlings - they are fairly common in tropical Africa, where they are considered common to abundant within their natural range.
Symphyotrichum novi-belgii — вид многолетних травянистых растений.
Symphyotrichum novi-belgii (formerly Aster novi-belgii), commonly called New York aster, is a species of flowering plant. It is the type species for Symphyotrichum, a genus in the family Asteraceae, whose species were once considered to be part of the genus Aster. Plants in both these genera are popularly known as Michaelmas daisy because they bloom around September 29, St. Michael’s Day.
The Latin specific epithet novi-belgii (literally "New Belgium") refers to the 17th century Dutch colony New Netherland which was established on land currently occupied by New York state.

The current day Wheeling is soaring over the former NYC on the original Wheeling with 111 cars on the drawbar behind 4 SD40-2's. Both lines are now owned by NS and Oak Harbor has long been a 'classic' railroad location but this perspective is only available from the air. Oak Harbor, OH 3/7/2021

May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
The robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a species of bird in the flycatcher family (Muscicapidae). It inhabits North Africa, Europe and Asia Minor as well as the Mediterranean islands. Its diet consists mainly of insects, small spiders, worms and snails. Its song begins about an hour before sunrise and can be heard until dusk almost all year round. The species is currently considered to be endangered.
The robin was once again "Bird of the Year" in Germany in 2021 (after 1992).
Because of its often short flight distance, its appearance and its frequency, the robin is a special sympathetic bird. In the legends of Christ, it comforts Jesus at special moments and when he is dying. It is also associated with Christmas as the unofficial national bird of Britain. It played an important role in the discovery and scientific recognition of magnetic sense.
Das Rotkehlchen (Erithacus rubecula) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fliegenschnäpper (Muscicapidae). Es besiedelt Nordafrika, Europa und Kleinasien sowie die Mittelmeerinseln. Seine Nahrung besteht vor allem aus Insekten, kleinen Spinnen, Würmern und Schnecken. Sein Gesang beginnt etwa eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang und ist bis in die Dämmerung fast das ganze Jahr über zu hören. Die Art gilt derzeit als ungefährdet.
Das Rotkehlchen war in Deutschland (nach 1992) 2021 erneut „Vogel des Jahres“.
Wegen seiner oft geringen Fluchtdistanz, seines Erscheinungsbilds und seiner Häufigkeit ist das Rotkehlchen ein besonderer Sympathieträger. In Christuslegenden steht es Jesus in besonderen Momenten und im Sterben tröstend bei. Zudem wird es als inoffizieller Nationalvogel Großbritanniens mit Weihnachten in Verbindung gebracht. Es hat bei der Entdeckung und wissenschaftlichen Anerkennung des Magnetsinns eine wichtige Rolle gespielt.

The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom
Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.
I did warn you not to run. But you made the wrong choice. ..

Arnside, Cumbria, sits at the northeastern corner of Morecambe Bay. Here, the sands are exposed temporarily near low tide, with the shallow channel of the River Kent estuary the only water.
A man and his son are on a paddleboard, letting the current do the work. Liminal - calm and peaceful before the tide turns.

Currently located just outside the boundaries of Snæfellsjökull National Park, the town of Hellnar is the largest of the fishing villages on the south side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It has been that way for centuries. A church was first built at this site in the village in 1833. The church in the photo was constructed in 1945.
