Commemorating the birthday of Charles Darwin on 12 February 1809.
Paleontology has been very significant for consolidating the revolutionary darwinist approach to the study of nature.
This amazing natural accumulation of fossils, mainly ammonites, represents a small patch of sea floor “frozen in time”. These extinct cephalopods have drifted up against pieces of waterlogged driftwood. The aggregate contains four distinct genera of ammonites 200 million years old (Lower Jurassic) [Information from Ulster Museum].
Fossils coming from Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, UK.

The long-busted myth that Charles Darwin's Eureka! Moment realization of the ability of natural selection to explain the problem of species, came by way of his observation of variation in the beaks of finches is a supermyth. Darwin did no such thing. He failed to understand the significance of the variation in those finch beaks, he never collected the finches, he misclassified 7 of the 13 finches collected. He never even collected them. Darwin was a wanker!!

The giant tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the Galapagos. El Chato reserve on the Santa Cruz island is home to hundreds of these gentle giants - the perfect place to see them in their natural habitat. It is also an interesting place birds: Darwin tree and ground finches fly between the trees, while yellow warblers add a touch of color to the scene.
This is a new area near the CBD area of Darwin with apartments, restaurants, shops and the Darwin Convention Centre. Taken early this morning.
I may be well on my way to insanity but it's great when you have someone else just as crackers for company. Tonight, almost as soon as we arrived at this well known spot near Matlock in Derbyshire, it began to rain. Not just a little bit, it was a lot of the horizontal stuff. My camera, lenses, bag and myself are now drying out!
Awesome clouds over Darwin Harbour. It was a hot and steamy day that threatened rain, but luckily stayed fine. By far the hottest day of our trip.
Amazing clouds over Darwin Harbour and our cruise ship, Ovation Of The Seas.
I took this on the walk back from the city centre and on the way to the Royal Flying Doctor Service Tourist Facility.
The small settlement of Darwin on East Falkland, Falkland Islands. The settlement was founded in 1859 and named after Charles Darwin who visited the Islands in 1833 and 1834.
Saw a few stunning sunsets while in Darwin recently.

Darwin, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
Darwin Waterfront
Our story
When we reflect on the Darwin Waterfront and harbour over time, we think of it as a place that people came and went, a ‘maritime hub’.
Water is a prominent theme of Darwin Waterfront's history, environment, culture through Larrakia stories, recreational spaces and leisure activities.
The Larrakia people travelled the harbour, fishing, hunting and gathering food, conducting ceremonies and visiting sacred sites and countrymen.
Early surveyors, adventurers, settlers and gold seekers arrived by sea and crossed and re-crossed the harbour from this point to access the interior, carve a home out of the harsh tropical landscape or seek their fame and fortune. The railway also started and finished here.
From the 1930s, the spectacular flying boats landed and took off, and the pearling fleet was based nearby.
For many years cattle were loaded at what was then known as Darwin Town Wharf, with a small side jetty used as the flying boat terminal.
Right up until World War II, it was the place where everyone who was coming from and going to Darwin passed through. Stokes Hill Wharf, that you can see today, was completed in 1956 and was the main wharf until East Arm Darwin Port was completed in 2000 and Fort Hill Wharf was refurbished in 2005.
Cruise ships soon became a distinctive feature and as the Waterfront was the first view international visitors had of Darwin the area was developed as a place to walk, sit by the water, swim in the lagoon, dine at world-class restaurants and enjoy spectacular sunsets.
Today, it is a tropical lifestyle destination that attracts over a million people each year
Sometimes a late start, and not getting too far up the trail has it's benefits. Although Sabrina Basin was not my first choice this trip for an overnight permit, there happened to be one left when I arrived at the permit office in the mid afternoon, and I would gladly take it. I set up camp at Blue Lake. A nice change of pace, as it's usually a first stop on the way to higher up locations. The views around Blue Lake are hard to top, and a good reason to spend some time there.
Mt Darwin is the flattish top peak on the left. Peaks to the right of that are unnamed, near as I can tell.
