Peregrine Falcon - Falco Peregrinus
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.

Dogweed (Glechoma Hederacea)
The herb "Dogweed" with its tiny blue flowers is traditionally used for colds, flu, coughs, respiratory infections and a remedy to lower fever as the plant is rich in vitamine C.
It is also effective for cystitis and urinary infections.
The herb is then used in dried form from which one makes tea........
Palazzo Mincuzzi located on one of the main streets of Bari and it is owned by the merchant family, the Mincuzzi who inaugurated their studio in 1928.
Located in the Napoleonic quarter Murat on the corner between Via Sparano and Via Putignani, its project, in delicate and refined Style Liberty, is due to the architect Aldo Forcignanò, who conceived an effective and extremely scenic corner solution.
The façade of the building is made up of a succession of columns, beaded pilasters, Ionic capitals, masks, and, above, there is the monumental family banner. The interior, one of the most striking examples of Southern Italy Art Nouveau style, includes a monumental staircase and it is all illuminated by the glass dome that dominates the building.
Over time the Palazzo Mincuzzi has become the symbolic place of Bari and one of the most prestigious shops in Bari. In 2001, however, the Mincuzzi family decided to close an era and rent its building to the clothing company of Luciano Benetton.
After the change of ownership, many people feared the distortion of what for all the Baresi had always been a symbol of a history of trade and cultural exchanges. However, on the building, the Superintendent of artistic heritage has supervised and still supervises: the external and internal architecture has remained intact, absolutely respectful of the Art Nouveau style.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft, designed to be a supremely effective dogfighter in combat. Later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with an increasing number of different armaments and equipment, including Storm Shadow and Brimstone missiles. The Typhoon had its combat debut during the 2011 military intervention in Libya with the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Italian Air Force, performing aerial reconnaissance and ground-strike missions.
This Typhoon was coming into land at RAF Coningsby and the name of the image 'Three Greens' comes from the 3 green light indications that tell the pilot the landing gear is down and locked.

Especially effective You can visit that at this place, the Rhein Falls from Schaffhausen. On average 373 cubic meters of water are falling down the rocks per second. On the maximum in 1965 it were 1250 cubic meters per second. That makes that waterfall to one of the three largest in europe.
Dies kann man besonders eindrucksvoll an diesem Ort miterleben, den Rheinfällen bei Schaffhausen. Im Durchschnit stürzen hier 373 Kubikmeter Wasser den Fels hinunter. Maximal waren es 1965 sogar 1250 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde. Damit ist dieser Wasserfall einer der drei größten in Europa.
I worked in a materials testing lab for a time after graduating from college. One of the items we regularly tested were hydrants. If I remember correctly they had to hold 250 pounds per square inch for a specified period of time and not leak or lose pressure. Normal house water pressure is 40 to 60 psi. Pretty amazing piece of work considering the design and how many lives this has saved. Shot with a Fujica ST801 and Takumar Super Multi Coated 55mm f2 lens.

..effectivement , elle poussait sur un mur ...
Ces petites choses que l'on ne regarde jamais , toujours occupés à poursuivre un but quelquonque , qui une fois atteint , sera remplacé par un autre ...la vie se passe dans l'instant, y être disponible relève de la perfection de l'instant ..
... indeed, it was growing on a wall ...
These little things that we never look at, always busy pursuing some goal, which once achieved, will be replaced by another ... life happens in the moment, being available is a matter of perfection
Spring green is very much in the picture of this neighborhood in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The middle of May is the best time to take the lovely pastel colors associated with springtime in the Boston metropolitan area.

Long exposure photography can be challenging at times. The lighting, timing and just how long the exposure, can make a huge difference in the outcome.

FORFICULE ♀
(Forficula auricularia)
Le nom de cet animal provient de ses cerques (« pinces »). « Forficule » (forficula) signifie « petits-ciseaux » en latin,
mesure d'1 à 2 centimètres, possède deux petites ailes mais il vole très rarement, leurs pinces à l'arrière du corps sont des armes défensives mais guère efficaces face de gros prédateurs (oiseaux, lézards, mammifères insectivores, dont musaraignes..
c'est aussi pour cela qu'il fuit la lumière, il sort la nuit à la recherche d'insectes Il est généralement considéré comme un auxiliaire du jardinier, parce que grand consommateur d'insectes dits « nuisibles » ou « ravageurs ». Il consomme aussi des végétaux très mûrs ou en début de décomposition (pétales de fleurs, fruits - pêches, prunes ou abricots en particulier -, légumes, racines de plantes coupées.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The name of this animal comes from its cerques ("pliers"). "Forficle" (forficula) means "little scissors" in Latin,
measures 1 to 2 centimeters, has two small wings but it flies very rarely, their claws at the back of the body are defensive weapons but hardly effective against large predators (birds, lizards, insectivorous mammals, including shrews ..
this is also why it flees the light, it goes out at night in search of insects It is generally considered an auxiliary of the gardener, because a large consumer of insects called "pests" or "pests". It also consumes very ripe plants or at the beginning of decomposition (flower petals, fruits - peaches, plums or apricots in particular -, vegetables, roots of cut plants.
Can be very effective for awhile
but sooner or later it will come down with a big fall!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The most effective means to get rid of the dust in Bangladesh is the pouring of streets with water from a hose. But there are no modern machines with watering. This work can be performed even by people with disabilities who are forced to work to feed themselves and their families.
Непыльная работа
Наиболее эффективным средством избавления от пыли в Бангладеш является заливка улиц водой из шланга. Но там нет современных машин с поливом. Эта работа может быть выполнена даже людьми с ограниченными возможностями, которые вынуждены работать, чтобы прокормить себя и свою семью.

The Illinois Central death-star paint scheme is, in my opinion, one of the greatest rebrands of all time. My friend Leo can attest to that! That's why I never miss a chance to shoot one of these units on the rare occasion one makes its way into Canada, even more so in the lead. Today's 396 sported IC 1022, a straight SD70, built in February of 1999. It was a real treat to see it, as this was only the second one I've ever seen leading. I only learned about this train from an early morning text sent by my friend Daniel. Thanks very much!
The sky colour soon disappeared after the sunrise to this grey one.
The mono treatment was more effective.
Views from the trail to Bukowe Berdo in Bieszczady mountains :)
The Bukowe Berdo (Beech Berdo) is a mountain range, constituting an elongated range crowned with a mountain pasture with three culminations: Szołtynia (1201 m above sea level), Połonina Dzwiniacka (1238 m above sea level), and the last Beech Berdo (1311 m above sea level). It is characterized by a large presence of sandstone rocks. The peak parties are occupied by the mountain pastures. From above, especially from the highest peak, there is a wide view of the north and east, mainly to the Ukrainian areas. The dorsal parts below Połonina Dźwiniacka are overgrown with a shrubby rowan form, which is particularly effective in the autumn when its fruits ripen red. Occurs here, among others a few very rare species: eastern Carpathian peas, Broadleaf, Sedge sedge, Rock sedge, Matrix blight.
Bieszczady Mountains is a mountain range that runs from the extreme south-east of Poland and north-east of Slovakia through to western Ukraine. The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt Pikui (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part is Tarnica (1346 m). The vegetation zones, which are typically observed in other mountain ranges with a similar character, are significantly different in Bieszczady. Among the tree species found in the Park, the beech-tree dominates the forests, with an admixture of sycamore and fir trees, the Carpathian beechwood complexes are formed and those cover the slopes and valleys, while alder forests occur along streams. Beechwood forests grow up to 1,150 m above sea level and they are neighboring directly the mountain pastures, interspersed with bilberry, cowberry, grass, alder and rowan. There is no subalpine spruce forest in Bieszczady. Animal life in these mountains is abundant with several species of endangered animals thriving in the area, among them brown bears, grey wolf, European wildcat, wild boar, European beavers, European otter, and European lynx as well as deer (such as moose) and European bison (over 500 live in the area). The park contains interesting bird species, including eagles and owls, and is home to the largest Polish population of Aesculapian snakes.

Widoki ze szlaku na Bukowe Berdo w Bieszczadach:)
Bukowe Berdo – masyw górski w polskich Bieszczadach w postaci podłużnego pasma o trzech kulminacjach: 1201 (Szołtynia), 1238 (Połonina Dźwiniacka) oraz 1311 m (Bukowe Berdo). Charakteryzuje się liczną obecnością piaskowcowych skałek. Szczytowe partie zajmuje połonina. Z góry, szczególnie z najwyższego wierzchołka, rozciąga się rozległy widok na północ i wschód, głównie na tereny ukraińskie. Partie grzbietowe poniżej Połoniny Dźwiniackiej masowo porasta krzewiasta forma jarzębiny, co szczególnie efektownie wygląda jesienią, gdy dojrzeją na czerwono jej owoce. Występuje tutaj m.in. kilka bardzo rzadkich gatunków roślin: groszek wschodniokarpacki, dzwonek szerokolistny, turzyca dacka, turzyca skalna, zaraza macierzankowa.
Bieszczady - grupa dwóch pasm górskich w łańcuchu Karpat znajdujące się na terenie Polski i Ukrainy. Najwyższy szczyt Bieszczadów to Pikuj (1405 m n.p.m., na Ukrainie) zaś na terytorium Polski – Tarnica (1346 m n.p.m.). Wyróżnikiem przyrody bieszczadzkiej jest inny niż w sąsiednich grupach górskich układ pięter roślinnych. Wśród gatunków drzew występujących na terenie Parku dominuje buk z domieszką jaworu i jodły, tworzą się kompleksy buczyn karpackich, które pokrywają zbocza i doliny, a wzdłuż potoków występują olsy. Lasy bukowe dorastają do 1150 m n.p.m. i sąsiadują bezpośrednio z pastwiskami górskimi, przeplatane borówką, brusznicą, trawą, olszą i jarzębiną. W Bieszczadach nie ma subalpejskiego lasu świerkowego. W Bieszczadach występują rośliny i zwierzęta niespotykane w innych częściach Polski, a zwłaszcza takie, które lubią ciepło, np. największy europejski wąż Eskulapa. Dobrze zachowane pierwotne lasy bukowe stanowią prawdziwy raj dla zwierząt. Żyją w nich m.in. żubry, jelenie karpackie, niedźwiedzie, wilki, rysie, żbiki, bocian czarny, orzeł przedni, a od 2007 roku również koniki polskie.

1 November 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Belgium crossed the barrier of 20,000 daily coronavirus infections. At the moment, 6,438 people are hospitalized for covid-19 in Belgium, with 1,105 of them being in intensive care units. The number of infections and the number of hospital admissions are rising so quickly that Belgium announced last Friday that it will activate a lockdown as of Sunday night. Hence, yesterday was the last day of trading before the emergency break to curb the increase of infections becomes effective. I would have expected that people would stay at home and the shops would be empty, but nothing was less true, there were huge crowds in shopping streets and big queues outside retail outlets selling non-essential goods. In summary, crowded shopping streets shamed our country the day before the lockdown becomes effective. Obviously, it didn’t sink in that it is now or never and that this is our last chance to avoid a nationwide tragedy. Why are people ignoring the fact that we are heading for a crash of our healthcare system and that this irresponsible behavior may result that hospitals will soon have to choose who they treat and who they don’t? We need to demonstrate a collective responsibility in combatting the pandemic, if not, we’re heading for a misty future - Damme, Belgium
