Exploring the environment of the hummingbirds, I found this moth on the Lantana flowers.
I don't know the species of moth and butterflies. Could anyone help me with the ID, please?

I witnessed morning prayers at Chorten Ningpo Monastery in Bhutan. Lasting an hour, the monks chanted mantras and performed rituals in the prayer hall. This routine purifies their minds, creating a meditation-friendly environment. Chanting and rituals seek blessings from the Buddha and enlightened beings, aiding their spiritual journey. The morning light bathed the hall, providing an enchanting glow for captivating photographs. Light and shadow played together, adding depth to the mystical ambiance. At the conclusion of the prayers, I took the opportunity to capture some group pictures. Among them, one close-up shot of a couple of young monks stood out to me - Chorten Ningpo Monastery, Punakha, Bhutan
This is the weather to expect when you visit the Tombstone area in the northern Yukon. These Blackstone Uplands show a subarctic tundra environment due to the higher elevations. Lower elevations further north along the Dempster Highway return you to the northern taiga forest for 100s more kilometers until beyond Inuvik. I like the sunlit slopes and distant road curling to the right ahead, yet there's no visible break in the sky showing the source of sunlight.
Went out shooting, yesterday. First time in many days, first picture of 2008. I was really missing it. I have been busy working hard with a very noble goal in mind, a D3 :)
Anyways, it seemed like a good day to go out since the night before we had been awarded with heavy rains and a storming sea. And so it was! The light was fabulous, the beach was incredibly beautiful with rough waves spreading foam all over the place. There were dogs, people flying kites and posers that run into someone else's photo :) For today, the weather forecasts the stormiest day of all, so tomorrow we are back in business! Although the sun rises around 8 am, our trip heading south starts at 5 am. I love my shooting sundays! Wanna come?? :)

Used my last day in Lisbon to shoot directly in B&W—in this case, the Monochrome film simulation. Limestone streets and sidewalks, stylish locals dressed in white or B&W, made it a target-rich environment.
Happy Mono Monday!
The Environment Assessment Rover is one of the primary tools any spacefarer needs to determine the viability of inhabiting a given planet region. The sensors are capable of detecting underground fissures and liquids, samples can be collected and deposited in the rear bed, and the six wheel drive ensures manuverability over even the slushiest of terrain. When you're wary of trouble, a good EAR will always help you out!
I started working on this last year after barely missing Febrovery for the second year in a row (I am NOT good at time management...) but it was only recently that I could call it finalised. Today it's both bright and snowy, so I couldn't resist taking a shot in the wilds of my back garden!
I took my mom on a date to NOLA, which ended at this cemetery. When we pulled through the gates, she turned to me and said, "This is what I call a target rich environment." Lakelawn Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans, Louisiana
As much as I enjoy seeing the birds flying in a clean blue sky, I think I prefer alot of them with the 'beautiful environmen't being included in the background. These shots were taken minutes from each other as I was standing in the same location.

These photographs document the platform area at Starnberg station, not the main station building. The visible structure consists primarily of historic iron columns and beams that remain in active use but show clear signs of aging: corrosion, flaking paint, and uneven maintenance. What was once a coherent architectural system has become a fragmented, utilitarian framework.
The original platform roofs are completely gone. In their place, the iron skeleton stands exposed to weather and light. Rather than being restored, the structure has been stabilized through added construction: scaffolding, bracing elements, and protective netting that cut across the original geometry. This creates a layered visual language of old infrastructure and temporary reinforcement.
A newer canopy appears only in selected areas, mainly above stair access points. This roof is made of corrugated sheet metal (Wellblech) and serves a purely functional role. It offers basic protection but no architectural continuity with the historic structure. Large sections of the platforms remain open.
The site reflects the character of a “lost place” in operation. It is neither fully preserved nor abandoned. Ongoing disputes between heritage protection (Denkmalschutz), ownership responsibilities, and questions of funding for repair and upkeep have left the platforms in a state of visual and structural limbo. The result is an environment where historical fabric survives, but without clear restoration strategy.
Access is partially restricted through fenced zones and controlled pathways. This affects circulation and accessibility, including limited or indirect wheelchair access. The station continues to function, yet the platform space feels provisional — maintained just enough to operate, but not enough to recover its former architectural identity.
From a photographic perspective, the focus lies on the exposed iron framework, the absence of the original roof, and the contrast between historic construction and pragmatic modern additions. The images document a transitional state: a working railway platform that visually reads as a relic.
