Å is a village in the municipality of Moskenes in Nordland county, Norway. It is located towards the southern end of the Lofoten archipelago. It is connected to the rest of the archipelago by the European route E10 highway, which ends here. This part of the highway is also called King Olav's Road.
Looking across Glen Dee (running left to right) we can see The Devils Point to the right of Glen Geusachan leading away from us, opposite is another Munro Beinn Bhrotain, and at the endof the Glen is a third Munro Monadh Mor.
Ben Macdui is the UK's 2nd highest peak (second only to Ben Nevis) and stands at 1309m (4294ft). After descending from this Munro we make a climb to the 2nd Munro of the day, Carn a' Mhaim (pronounced Carn-ah-Vame) at 1037m (3402ft).

Bøvær - Senja 20250618
Bøvær is a small fishing village located on the western coast of Senja, Norway's second-largest island.
It sits at the endof a narrow, winding road, which adds to its a remote and tranquil feel.

Stores and Homes sit along Rua Cruzeiro at the west endof Praça Dotuor Souza Junior in Angra de Heroísmo, Terceira, Azores, Portugal. This city streets and most of most buildings date back to the late 15h and 18th century when the city grew in wealth and stature a a stopover point for maritime vessels making Alantic crossings. I was a base for repairs, resupply and rest for weary saliors. It became more isolated from eroupe as shipping routes sghifted to other island port in the 19th century which allowed may the structures and strret of Rennaissance design as well as culturally significant sites to be preserved. Because of this Angra de Herismo has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site
Some days require a bit more "unwinding" than others. I decided to sit out back and enjoy some tasty beer after a long week. And yes, I am wearing a Hawaiian shirt, because that's how I roll..

A large mural on Hanbury Street, at the far endof the street from the junction with Brick Lane. This is one of those pieces where including some figures helps show the true scale.
I'm not sure who the artist is so if anyone knows it would be great if they could let me know and I'll add a credit.
Update : Thanks to my contact David Gutierrez I can now tell you the artist is Dan Kitchener. Also known as DANK (thanks Mike.....).

This is the first dinner train of Railpromo, called Panorama Rail Restaurant. The train made a round trip Amsterdam - Breukelen - Rotterdam - The Hague - Amsterdam. Tomorrow and Sunday it will run again, then every Saturday evening until at least endof the year.
A very cinematic area of my home town. The lighting was difficult but it was fun to edit. There are vehicle restrictions at this endof the road and it is a joy to walk in safety in this part of town.

I'm guilty of not posting enough photos of my hometown. So here is a bunch of them.
The 11th of November, 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France at 5:45 am, which took effect at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. Originally called the Armistice Day, it has been called the Remembrance Day after World War II in countries of the British Commonwealth, while America calls it "Veterans Day".

Late season Sierra Nevada light in the John Muir Wilderness
As you may have figured out if you follow my work, I often photograph very early and very late in the day, especially when I have access to soft light. On trips like the one where I made this series of photographs the day follows an unusual schedule. We are typically up very early (before dawn) for a few hours of photography, we return to camp to hang out and take care of various camp duties in the middle of the day, and in late afternoon we once again head out into the field, frequently not arriving back in camp until after dark.
But sometimes the light is beautiful outside of those limited hours. There could be special weather conditions — fog, storm clouds, haze — or a landscape that is amenable to midday photography. In the Sierra there is a period from middle September until the first real snows come that can produce some of the most beautiful daytime light I know. I think of it as golden light, and it comes on clear, cool days when the fall colors are arriving. This was one of those days, with the lakeside grasses turning yellow and the water very still, when I made this photograph near the outlet of a small, subalpine lake.

I bruchi (appartenenti al tipo morfologico delle larve eruciformi) hanno forma allungata e aspetto vermiforme. In essi si distingue il capo, seguito da 3 segmenti toracici e 10 segmenti addominali. L'apparato boccale è masticatore. Nel capo sono presenti anche degli occhi semplici detti stemmata (mancano quelli composti) e antenne piuttosto ridotte. I segmenti toracici portano tre paia di zampe articolate, mentre nell'addome sono presenti le pseudozampe (false zampe), in genere 5 paia. Il tegumento presenta un numero variabile di peli o setole (con funzione sensoriale oppure di rivestimento e protezione, talvolta urticanti), sparse o distribuite a ciuffi, anche su tubercoli.
Alimentazione
Pseudozampe del bruco di Papilio machaon
La quasi totalità dei bruchi è fitofaga, cioè ricava il proprio nutrimento dalle piante. Molti di essi risultano perciò dannosi a specie vegetali di interesse agricolo o forestale. In genere si nutrono delle foglie, erodendone i margini e lasciando così evidenti tracce della loro presenza. In qualche caso piegano i margini delle foglie o arrotolano le foglie fissandole con fili di seta, rendono gli steli morbidi oppure attaccano altre parti della pianta come gemme, fiori, frutti o semi. I microlepidotteri del genere Yponomeuta avvolgono i rami in una sorta di “ragnatela”.
Alcuni bruchi sono endofiti, cioè vivono all'interno dei tessuti vegetali. Quelli xilofagi, come Zeuzera pyrina ed altre specie delle famiglie Cossidae e Sesiidae, scavano gallerie all'interno del tronco o dei rami, nutrendosi del legno. Altri scavano gallerie nel fusto di piante come il mais (Ostrinia nubilalis), all'interno di frutti, come pere, mele e noci (Cydia pomonella e altre Tortricidae), nei tuberi delle patate, in bulbi, radici e rizomi. I bruchi di molti microlepidotteri, come Cameraria ohridella, scavano sottili gallerie ("mine") all'interno della lamina fogliare. Alcuni producono galle.
Alcune specie sono monofaghe, cioè si nutrono di una sola specie vegetale, detta pianta nutrice: è il caso, per esempio, della cavolaia (Pieris brassicae) le cui larve si nutrono esclusivamente a spese di Brassica oleracea; altre specie sono oligofaghe, cioè possono scegliere la propria pianta nutrice tra più specie della stessa famiglia: è quanto accade, per esempio, ai bruchi del macaone (Papilio machaon), che possono avere come pianta nutrice diverse specie della famiglia delle Apiaceae quali la carota selvatica (Daucus carota), il finocchio (Foeniculum vulgare), l'angelica (Angelica archangelica); altre specie infine (come p.es. Noctua fimbriata) sono polifaghe, cioè si nutrono di varie specie, anche di famiglie diverse.
Sono bruchi anche le larve delle "tignole" (soprattutto Tineidae, Oecophoridae, Gelechiidae e Pyraloidea) che si nutrono di derrate alimentari di origine vegetale, come granaglie, farine, biscotti, ma anche di prodotti di origine animale come la cera degli alveari (Galleria mellonella) o la lana, qualche volta anche di legno marcescente o escrementi.
Non mancano neppure i bruchi predatori, come quelli mirmecofili di molte Lycaenidae, che vivono nei formicai dove predano gli afidi ma anche gli stadi preimmaginali delle stesse formiche. Anche le larve di alcune Pyraloidea sono mirmecofile oppure vivono in nidi di vespe sociali; quelle di certe Crambidae sono parassiti di bruchi di Psychidae.
Comportamento e strategie difensive
Comportamenti gregari sono abbastanza frequenti tra i bruchi. Le larve di varie specie di Yponomeutidae, Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae (come la processionaria del pino e la processionaria della quercia) e Erebidae Lymantriinae vivono in gruppi e si rifugiano in nidi sericei.
Molti presentano colorazioni e forme criptiche, grazie alle quali si mimetizzano, confondendosi con le foglie o altre parti della pianta; talvolta assumono l'aspetto di fiori (come alcune Noctuidae del genere Cucullia, che sembrano infiorescenze di Artemisia) oppure si irrigidiscono in una posizione particolare in modo da sembrare piccoli rametti (come molte Geometridae).
Tra le strategie di difesa contro i predatori si annoverano anche colorazioni aposematiche e la presenza di spine velenose (come in Automeris io), peli urticanti (ad esempio nella processionaria del pino) e secrezioni ripugnanti (come nel macaone).
Larve gregarie di Eriogaster lanestris (Lasiocampidae)
Tela sericea prodotta da Yponomeuta evonymella (Yponomeutidae)
Mine fogliari di Phyllocnistis labyrinthella (Gracillariidae)
Larva di Cydia pomonella (Tortricidae)
Accrescimento
Come in tutti gli insetti, l'accrescimento non può realizzarsi in maniera continua ma avviene mediante mute. Il numero degli stadi larvali varia di norma da 3 a 5. Spesso passando da uno stadio all'altro cambiano la colorazione e l'aspetto generale, tanto che in alcuni casi si fa fatica a riconoscere i bruchi di età diversa come appartenenti alla stessa specie.
Metodi di lotta
Per infestazioni ridotte, o aree relativamente limitate, è possibile attuare una raccolta manuale delle larve, volta a limitare l'espansione del lepidottero su un più ampio territorio; inoltre, è consigliato provvedere alla potatura e all'allontanamento dei rami colpiti. Sono altresì possibili -e consigliati in caso di infestazioni rilevanti- interventi curativi biologici con applicazione di Bacillus thuringiensis sspp, oppure chimici tramite insetticidi, solitamente fosforganici di sintesi.
Il periodo ed il prodotto specifico variano da specie a specie; indicativamente bisognerà mirare a contenere l'insetto prima che produca il danno, ovvero prima che la larva cominci a nutrirsi delle parti di pianta.

A tad more colourful and frilly than your normal run-of-the-mill biker gang perhaps - but hey, these aren't normal times, nor is Slovenia a normal state.
Actually more of a state-of-confusion...
Video of adventure:
My third and final day in Sutherland and I had planned on heading up the magnificent Ben Stack at the head of Loch More. However as the days progressed I had kept one eye on the weather and the forecast for this final day was looking a bit gloomy Shame as it was the winter solstice today and Ben Stack would have been an ideal short outing give the short day ahead (in terms of available daylight!!)
Instead I opted for the final Corbett in the immediate area – Beinn Leoid. As this was probably going to be a bit more of a trek I set the alarm early, struggled out of my warm , cosy sleeping bag and eventually got my kit ready and drove the 500 metres to the start of the hike The mist was down to the glen floor and as I set of my head torch illuminated the water particles in the dark and it felt other worldly. Heading up the well-made stalkers path, ancient, knurled trees revealed themselves out of the darkness and gloom as my ray of light caught their contorted shapes, all really a bit spooky! Up I went and eventually found the light starting to appear. I had thought it would com earlier given the time but the fog bank I was in was blocking any of the residual dawn light hitting me and as I walked higher I started to get above this first bank of fog and found myself in-between layers of cloud as the dawn approached. As light started to reveal a monochrome landscape I was soon reaching the endof the (rather icy) stalkers path and I could see that the next hour was going to be contouring rough ground round the side of the Graham Meallan a’ Chuaill. I had planned on going up here for sunrise to capture some photos but that plan had disappeared as soon as the landscape was revealed to me with the growing light (I should say that the light revealed no landscape but clouds hugging the mountains – hence no views!!).
On a trudged round the side of the hill and I was very relieved to catch a glimpse of Loch Dubh, as I knew another stalkers path awaited me here! A short break at Loch Dubh and the feeling of remoteness was at its height here, it is a lonely place ! rough ground and knowing there aren’t many other humans for miles and miles gives it that wilderness feel, especially with the clag in! Up and over the corrie headwall and the ground conditions eased as the vegetation shortened as I gained height. The white icy rime hat had greeted me on the last two days also materialised and ice coated all vegetation. A light mizzle started to fall and all layers were donned. Head down and onto the summit I went.
With little chance of any views appearing, I did a piece to camera then headed back down the way I had come. I knew I still had a fair bit of rough walking to go and then a 4 hour drive home so I wasn’t hanging about. The rain grew ever more steady as I descended and the icy on the path became even more treacherous when I finally reached it again. The fog had lingered all day in the glen and I got some nice shots before the final descent to the car. Another lovely walk and although no blue skies , the conditions today had their own qualities , sometimes these days are just as rewarding if not more so than the blue sky days….
