Description
The Brown Quail is a small, plump ground-dwelling bird. It is variable in colour, ranging from red brown to grey brown with fine white streaks and black barring above, and chestnut brown below. The eye is red to yellow, the bill black and the legs and feet orange-yellow. In Tasmania, this species is called the Swamp Quail and tends to be larger and darker than mainland birds, with a pale yellow eye. Female Brown Quails are larger and may be more heavily marked with black and paler below than males. Young birds are like adult females, with less distinct markings and a dark brown eye. Quails rarely fly, preferring to hide unless an intruder flushes them; then they fly low to the ground, with a rapid whirring flight.
Similar Species
The similar Stubble Quail, C. pectoralis, is paler brown with a pale to white eyebrow and males have a distinctive chestnut brown throat patch while females have a creamy, flecked throat patch. In flight, the Brown Quail has dark flanks and plain upperparts, where other quails have pale flanks and more patterned upperparts.`The Brown Quail prefers dense grasslands, often on the edges of open forests, and bracken. May sometimes be seen alongside roads.

Rajendra Chola-I (1012-1044 A.D) son of the Great Rajaraja-I, established this temple at Gangai konda Cholapuram (கங்கைகொண்ட சோழபுரம்) after his great victorious march to river Ganges on Northern India. He was originally called Madurantakan. He assumed the title of Rajendra during his coronation and continued to rule along with his father Rajaraja-I for a while. He achieved the supreme title of Cholas called Parakesari .
Subject Description: The front-engined Bristol Lodekka and its rear-engined replacement, the Bristol VR, were amongst the types that CMB considered during its large-scale purchase of second-hand ex-UK buses. The possibility seems to have been thwarted by difficulties in acquired sufficient buses with the preferred power unit. The production VRT models had a vertical rear-engine, transversely mounted and were mostly built to 30-foot length. This is one of the few exceptions, designated VRT-LL (vertical rear transverse engine, long low frame) that were delivered new to the Scottish Bus Group. It is shown adapted for Hong Kong operations with a narrow entrance, wide exit and deep sliding windows. I've previously featured this bus working for China Motor Bus. This image depicts it after the takeover of CMB operations by New World First Bus, still in CMB livery but with NWFB fleet names and advertisements.
AI Notes: This is the one that convinced me that AI is a useful tool if used thoughtfully. The original image of a fictional New World First Bus Bristol VR (top right) was created in Photoshop but lacked a background because I couldn’t match the perspective. I asked Google Gemini to 'place in a Hong Kong Street scene' and this is what it produced. To my surprise, it ditched the original perspective and totally re-constructed the image. The bus is smaller than I would have preferred and the resolution isn't fantastic but I’m simply blown away. To keep track of my AI projects, I’ve created a new album AI-Assisted Images, which I encourage you to visit (22-Jan-26).

Description: To differentiate an Aspisoma hesperum from an Aspisoma lineatum, one would need a dichotomous key; however, due to the geographical location, it is possible to speculate the identity with a certain confidence, even if not absolute. They are mostly diurnal and are seen visiting flowers and plants in general. Given their foul smell, birds do not predate them as they are equally unpallatable; some insects do not seem to care, though. As larvae, they are vicious predators of snails. The feeding habits of the adult, - or lack of - , after thorough research, were uncertain. Some sources claimed they did feed on some flowers, while others claimed that they were seen regularly visiting Passiflora and others said they don't feed at all. The reliability of these studies are unknown to me, and may be doubtful. The larvae of Aspisoma are vicious predators of snails, setting themselves in an important step in the food chain. More than one larva can feed on the same snail at the same time. The Aspisoma fireflies belong in the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Elateriformia, superfamily Elateroidea, family Lampyridae, subfamily Lampyrinae and, doubtfully, in the tribe Cratomorphini, but might be disassembled later into the tribe Lampyrini.
Feeding type: Larvae are predators. The adult's feeding habits are arguable, as they have been quoted in studies in a variety of situations: from not eating at all, to eating flowers and as habitual visitors to Passiflora and perhaps other plants. The reliability of these studies may be doubtful. It is known that many species of adult Lampyrids do not feed at all, but due to this great divergence in information, the feeding habits of the adult of Aspisoma are unknown to me.

Description: As the Smithsonian's first photographer and curator of photography, Thomas Smillie used images to catalog the much of the institution's physical object collection, ranging from stuffed animals to plant fossils, decorative boxes, and beyond. The photographs themselves are now part of the Smithsonian's collection.
Creator/Photographer: Thomas Smillie
Birth Date: 1843
Death Date: 1917
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1843, Thomas William Smillie immigrated to the United States with his family when he five years old. After studying chemistry and medicine at Georgetown University, he took a job as a photographer at the Smithsonian Institution, where he stayed for nearly fifty years until his death in 1917. Smillie's duties and accomplishments at the Smithsonian were vast: he documented important events and research trips, photographed the museum's installations and specimens, created reproductions for use as printing illustrations, performed chemical experiments for Smithsonian scientific researchers, and later acted as the head and curator of the photography lab. Smillie's documentation of each Smithsonian exhibition and installation resulted in an informal record of all of the institution's art and artifacts. In 1913 Smillie mounted an exhibition on the history of photography to showcase the remarkable advancements that had been made in the field but which he feared had already been forgotten.

Often descriptions end up leaving me with nothing to write other than "I love (insert subject of photo)" and then that is all I have to offer. I'm going to do it again. I love street lights. They remind me of light houses but for cars and people or whatever needs a street light as you linger in the dark.

So it's here, but it's incomplete...
First, I turned 20, August the 25th. So here's something special!
The concept was to make a remix of a track matching a specific year. 20 tracks (including 1 original track for 2016)were planned, but I only managed to make 8 of them and they're not perfect to me. But still, I wanted to share them so there you go!
Not sure I'll finish this project one day, but it was worth it to try.
Oh and the album is absolutely free!

Description: This image of spiral galaxy M33 (or NGC 598), the Triangulum Galaxy, was developed from 124x300s subs or about 10 hours of total exposure time. Of interest is the presence of the irregular-shaped nebula NGC 604, an HII region, in one of the spiral arms. Initially, I found it difficult to locate NGC 604, but once I did, I decided for future reference to identify it with a magnification inset as shown in the image.
