Encyrtid Wasp (Cryptanusia comperei)
I spotted and photographed my first Encyrtid Wasp earlier this month (see first comment). This one is a different one in the same family. It was the antennae movement that caught my attention with this one.
Photo was taken when the when the sparkling lights were quiet.

Well I have principles or the environment I live in that tells me that this movement is forbidden in all its forms and ways but I really like the picture, I find it a work of art that should not be deleted

This picture illustrates the challenge between the locals and the tourists. The authencity of the local live, for example the local fishermen, is threatened by the thousands of tourists coming molt in summer to these ugly hotel buildings. Algarve, 2008..

Seen in the cafe area at Alowyn Gardens with the FFF.
I have no idea what this was used for in days past.
A windmill near Wilpena Pound, north of Hawker, South Australia. Shot with a 50mm lens to emphasize the core of the Milky Way. Some lighting by the Moon. Tamron lens, prcessed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.
This was a tricky photo to take. It is taken from the path alongside the Yarra, almost from under Princes Bridge. The path is narrow and busy, and the buildings are really tall. I had to use a 10mm lens in order to capture the full reflection. That created a challenge excluding the fence from the photograph. I had the tripod set at a crazy angle with the lens poking through the fence, all while pedestrian scurried past. I only had one attempt at this composition because my battery was completely flat after the photo.
Another very different location on the northern section of the Trans-Mongolian Railway. Geographically, this area features a unique mix of terrain… rivers, mountains, pine forests, and sand. At times it resembles the Gobi, while in other moments it feels more like an oasis ️

Captured during the Summer Group Tour 2025 Our next Summer Tour is confirmed for 8–20 June 2026, featuring the northern Trans-Mongolian railscapes, including the Mongolia–Russia border zone.

John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.
I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.
Something a bit different from me. A black and white frame from Dungeness, a place that feels like both paradise and punishment for photographers. The landscape looks simple at first glance but it demands patience, walking, and a trained eye to uncover strong compositions. This old boat caught my attention after a long wander, weathered, scarred, and slowly disappearing due to vandalism over time. It is sad to see these beautiful subjects fade away, but that impermanence also adds character and meaning to every shot. When everything finally lines up, the reward is a frame that feels earned, the kind that makes the hard work completely worth it.

Photographer admits prize-winning image was AI-generated
German artist Boris Eldagsen says entry to Sony world photography awards was designed to provoke debate

A photographer is refusing a prestigious award after admitting to being a “cheeky monkey” and generating the prize-winning image using artificial intelligence.
The German artist Boris Eldagsen revealed on his website that he was not accepting the prize for the creative open category, which he won at last week’s Sony world photography awards.
The winning photograph depicted two women from different generations in black and white.
In a statement on his website, Eldagsen, who studied photography and visual arts at the Art Academy of Mainz, conceptual art and intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and fine art at the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication in Hyderabad, said he “applied as a cheeky monkey” to find out if competitions would be prepared for AI images to enter. “They are not,” he added.
“We, the photo world, need an open discussion,” said Eldagsen. “A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter – or would this be a mistake?
“With my refusal of the award I hope to speed up this debate.”
He said this was a “historic moment” as it was the first time an AI image had won a prestigious international photography competition, adding: “How many of you knew or suspected that it was AI generated? Something about this doesn’t feel right, does it?
“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this. They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award.”
Eldagsen suggested donating the prize to a photo festival hosted in Odesa, Ukraine.
The stunt comes at a time of intense debate over the use and implications of AI with some issuing apocalyptic warnings that the technology is on the brink of irreversibly damaging the human experience.
Recent advancements in the use of AI in chatbots, driverless cars, song-writing software and the development of pharmaceuticals has spurred the discussion. Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said concerns about AI had kept him awake at night and warned the technology can be “very harmful” if incorrectly deployed.
The Guardian has approached Creo, the art events organisers behind the competition, for comment.

Or a different darker version of it (MGT & Ville Valo)
There are some images that stand out in black and white, while others are better suited to color. With this one, I went back and forth between the two as they had completely different moods and stories. I liked them both for that difference and thought it would be interesting to see what the response is on Flickr. (Please note previous post for the B&W version).
