Magnificent Frigatebird ~ (Fregata magnificens)
"In the unlikely event of a water landing, your throat pouch can be used as a flotation device".
I always wondered how much the inflated throat pouch got in the way when these birds come down for a drink.
Thanks for visiting!

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too
vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)
Back in the day if your smoking material became too small to smoke but too big to toss, you reached into your pocket for this little device. It looks like a key but when squeezed the blade would separate and it became a handy clip. It has remained on my keychain ever since. It has held up quite well over the years, possibly because it was made in the USA.
This is part of a stapling device. The red color in the eyes and lips is reflected from the red top of the device.
Pareidolia is the theme for Macro Mondays Sept. 16th.

Hallo liebe Flickr Freunde, es macht mir große Probleme ein Foto hochzuladen seit gestern.
"Ein deutsches Gericht hat entschieden, dass das Hochladen von Bildern von Mobilgeräten auf Flickr ein Patent verletzt, weshalb wir die Funktion deaktivieren mussten. Ihr könnt Bilder aber weiterhin vom Desktop Computer hochladen."
Ich habe nur einen Laptop, aber ich habe jetzt noch eine Möglichkeit gefunden, dieses Foto hochzuladen, aber es wird sicher auch bald abgestellt werden.
Liebe Grüße, euer Buddylein ❤

Hi dear flickr friends, it gives me major problems uploading a photo since yesterday
"A German court has ruled that uploading images from mobile devices on Flickr infringed a patent, so we had to disable the feature. But you can still upload images from your desktop computer."
I have only a laptop, but I found yet a way to upload this photo, but it will also soon be turned off.
Love greetings, your Buddylein ❤
Also called the Bridge of Lies is one of the first cast iron bridge to be built in Europe and the third cast iron bridge built on the territory of today's Romania and Transylvania, the first being built in 1841.
The bridge is the oldest cast iron bridge in service on the territory of Romania.
Considered to be a forged iron gem, The Bridge of Lies is one of the most important symbols of the city.
Rebuilt in 1859 (made in the Friedrich Hütte workshops) in the former location of a gate bridge belonging to the 2nd fortification wall. The initially vaulted passage used to be made through an conglomerate of buildings which had been demolished in 1851: the Town’s Scale, the selling market places belonging to the Cobblers, Shoemakers, Tailor’s, Baker’s guilds, the Milks’ Bridge, the house belonging to Baron Rosenfeld where it used to be the Law Academy, the Jikeli house with the chemist’s, the barber’s shop. In the same period the staircases on the western side of Ocnei Street were demolished.
A favorite strolling place for young couples, the bridge stands out due to its resistance pieces decorated with rosettes and a belt of elements placed in circles with decreasing sizes and adorned with vegetal and neo-gothic geometric motifs.
These bear on the southern side the coat of arms of Sibiu and on the northern side the inscriptions “1859” and “Friedrich Hütte”. The four pedestals at the extremity of the bridge, more robust and made in stone, sustain lighting devices made in cast iron. The metallic rail of the bridge consists of eight panels with circles in a gothic radial décor.
The Ministry of Time
Chapter III: The Saboteur's Plan
The style card and credits here
When Richard materialized in the bustling streets of New York in the year 2025, he immediately felt a disturbance in the temporal fabric. People were passing by in a hurry, unaware of the imminent danger lurking in the shadows. Following the coordinates provided by the Ministry, Richard and his companion headed towards the vicinity of a nuclear plant. As they approached, they saw a suspicious figure hunched over a device of peculiar appearance typing rapidly on it. With stealth and precision, Richard approached the saboteur, while his pulse throbbed with electric intensity. Suddenly, footsteps were heard resonating beside him, and Agent Pablo Torres emerged from the shadows, his weapon drawn and ready.
"We have you now," proclaimed Pablo with firm and authoritative voice.
The saboteur leaped and started running as Richard and Pablo chased after him. At a certain point, he abruptly stopped and with a cold smile on his face, rummaged in a pocket and pulled out a small device that he activated with a click. With a dazzling flash of light, a temporal distortion opened before him. Before Richard or Pablo could react, the saboteur disappeared into the temporal vortex, leaving the agents astonished and without clues to follow his trail.
Back at the Ministry, Richard and Pablo faced the harsh reality of their failure. The saboteur had escaped, leaving behind more questions than answers. As they discussed what had happened, Richard noticed that Pablo was out of breath, with a hand on his chest.
"Are you okay, Pablo?" asked Richard, concerned.
Pablo nodded with a weak smile. "I don't think I'll be able to join you in the next pursuit," he admitted.
Richard furrowed his brow, visibly worried about his friend's health. Later, after leaving Pablo in the infirmary, Richard reflected with amazement: "It's the first time we've seen interdimensional portals open wherever one desires. This complicates things a lot."
With time running out, they knew they had to redouble their efforts to stop the saboteur's sinister plans and protect the timeline at all costs.

Still experimenting with various viewers trying to get the best of both worlds my PC can deliver, Here the old and now defunct Exodus viewer rendering a rather nice

IED, improvised explosive device , are modern soldiers worst nightmare.
By the end of 2007 they have been responsible for at least 64% of Coalition deaths in Iraq.
Here is a picture of us special forces targeted by an ied during a night mission in the afghan's desert (yeah it's not in the snow). I keep exploring in the live explosions area, made with bengal fire. You stick several together, and you should get a big blow.
A big thanks to Tiny Tactical and their amazing gear to make this one possible. www.tinytactical.com

My Macro Monday image for the theme "Evolution".
We used to use pens (or pencils for that matter) all the time didn't we, for lists, making notes, keeping appointments in a diary, writing letters etc. Now though, if you're like me, that usage has evolved to almost exclusively doing things electronically on a computer or a mobile device.
So this image, of a ballpoint pen, sitting on my Macbook keyboard is to represent that evolution. One result for me is how bad my handwriting has become, on the rare occasion that I do have to write anything of any length, I marvel at how bad it looks.
Going for an extremely shallow depth of field in this image, so my 100mm macro lens at maximum aperture of f/2.8 with three extension tubes on as well.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!

This planet seems good. One species seem to be so populous they have infiltrated every continent. They do have some rudimentary language skills but their mathematic ability is so basic they would never be considered an intelligent species. Atmosphere is very similar to ours with minimal terra and bioforming needed making it cheap to colonize.
The fingers quickly tapped the device sending a communication to corporate headquarters that they could apply to the commission to colonize earth with a high degree of probability of being approved.
Within a decade the ships started arriving. Humans objected to being colonized and threw every nuclear weapon they could scrap up. The colonizers retreated back to orbit, baffled by a species intelligent enough to create a bomb that could destroy the atmosphere and stupid enough to deploy it. The colonizers requested equipment to cleanse the atmosphere which was an extra expense. By the time they received approval and the equipment, all life forms on earth were dead except for cockroaches.
The colony shipped in fauna and flora from their original planet. It was much better really. Normally it was very difficult to get permission to make a planet exactly like home. There were groups that fought for planetary diversity but really it wasn't the colonizers' fault the original species killed themselves and almost everything else.
No one was happy about the cockroaches tho. Not even the groups for planetary diversity as cockroaches spread quickly across the galaxies once a few managed to get aboard ships. Major funding was approved to eradicate them. Nothing worked. The cockroaches kept surviving and coming back. Very irritating.

Note: I added texture and the aqua lighting on the right through Photoshop. For the texture, I used NightCafe to create an image with two planets on one layer and then used the SoftLight filter in PS at 40% opacity. The aqua lighting I brushed two circles of aqua, then Guassian Filter to spread them out, then Vivid Light filters at differing opacity for each circle.

When Doctor Who visited Archimedes, the brilliant scientist managed to create a simplified analogue of the Tardis. Recently, Sicilian specialists managed to recreate this booth based on the surviving drawings of Archimedes, because in fact, the Roman warrior understood the genius of the scientist, and the drawings of the device have been preserved.
My KAP (Kite Aerial System) for the Nokia N8 (and probably other Symbian devices).
A rig is suspended on the line of a kite, and it holds an N8 phone (with a 12MP camera sensor). This phone can send live video to another N8 on the ground, which in turn controls the direction of the camera with accelerometers (you just tilt your phone to change the camera orientation).

O celular transmite vídeo em tempo real para outro N8 no chão, que por sua vez controla a direção da câmera através de acelerômetros (ou seja, basta mover o celular e a inclinação dele fará a câmera na pipa mover-se também).
