Destruction/Desolation

Colorful algae thrive in a man made geyser in northern Nevada. Climate change is also threatening this natural wonder. Then this landscape photography will no longer be a celebration of natural beauty but part of a documentary of destruction.
Red Footed Falcon - Falco Vespertinus
Wiltshire
The Red-footed Falcon is a gregarious bird of prey usually found in flocks. It often breeds in colonies, and sometimes solitary, using abandoned Corvidae or raptors’ nests.
It is an eastern European species and a long-distance migrant that winters in southern Africa. It feeds mainly on insects, but the chicks are mostly fed with small vertebrates.
The Red-footed Falcon is very close to Amur Falcon which was formerly a subspecies of F. vespertinus.
The population is decreasing due to habitat destruction and the species is currently listed as Near Threatened.
The Red-footed Falcon breeds in C Europe from Estonia, Slovakia and Hungary, E through NC Asia to extreme NW China and upper R Lena.
It winters in SW Africa, from Angola, Namibia and N South Africa, through Botswana to Zambia and Zimbabwe.
HABITAT:
The Red-footed Falcon breeds in wooded steppes, valleys, clearings, cultivated areas and pastures with clumps or fringes of trees, riparian woodlands, orchards, marshy lands and open taiga. It breeds usually in lowlands, but up to 1500 metres of elevation in Asia.
During winter in SW Africa, it frequents grasslands, savanna and scrubland. They form large nightime roosts in groves of eucalypts, but also in towns and villages. Several thousands of birds may gather at communal roosts.
Milkweeds are commonly infested by the oleander aphid, Aphis nerii. These little insects suck the sap out of stems, leaves, and can cause flowers and pods to abort, and can even kill plants. They concentrate milkweed toxins in their tissue more effectively than native milkweed aphids, and studies have shown that beneficial insects are less effective at controlling them. Aphids can be many colors, such as green, black, brown, pink, yellow, white, and blue (really?) and even furry ( wooly aphids ).

I spent much of my childhood in this and the adjacent woodlands. Last winter contractors who were supposed to be removing ash trees suffering from die-back destroyed great swathes of the woodland before they were sacked. Many of the trees they cut down were beech. This isn't a particularly pictorial image but is my take on the destruction caused.

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall

Fitting in that just past those scraggly pine trees is our 22' lighted cross, that but for the growth, can be seen all over the Lompoc Valley from it's 400 foot elevation above town at the south edge of H Street.
It was built in 1912 to commemorate the destruction of the first Mission Concepcion Purisima de Maria Santisima. It was destroyed on December 8, 1812 in a huge 7.1 earthquake -- we still pass that split in the ravine going home every day.

With so many being homeless and in utter torment for their lives this year throughout the world I thought it appropriate to give a shout out to them and tell them that we on Flickr really care! And I want to especially thank Robbi Robbins (brillianthues) for allowing me to use one of her beautiful works.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You! Rising up against nature and challenging the very essence of your existence, just who do you think you are! Hiding behind a smokescreen of lies and acting on your clouded judgements, nature will eventually cleanse the world of your misdeeds.

It is all change at our local business quarter. The ITT Canon building has been demolished and there is action on site day and night for something new.
When you accept violence
When you accept things against your own conscience
When you let yourself be hurt
When you do what you know you don't like:
Then you lose yourself
You shatter into a thousand pieces
And you are not alive.
The purpose of this photo is to leave this message. Think about it.
_Selene_
Four and a half miles out from Ruby beach towers an island in the shape of a skeletal human hand. It's 80' above sea level and 33 acres around. On this sunless day the name didn't help its gloomy appearance accentuated by an abandoned 92' lighthouse standing darkly in the distance like something straight out of the Lord of the Rings. The reefs around the island are known to have claimed three ships over the years, but that's not where the name came from. In the late 1700's two different ships twelve years apart sent a long boat to shore to collect wood and water, neither returned.
Today, visiting the island is prohibited to all but research scientists who go there to check up on what is almost the Tufted Puffin's last stand in Washington State. They make their homes by burrowing into the loose soil atop the sandstone beneath and have no natural predators as there are no eagles or hawks out there.
For you Fresnel Lens fans, the original light, in service from 1892-1995, was rescued and is preserved and displayed at the Westport Maritime Museum. It's beautiful.
