Seeadler (Haliaeetus albicilla)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeadler_(
Der Seeadler (Haliaeetus albicilla) ist ein Greifvogel aus der Familie der Habichtartigen (Accipitridae). Seeadler bewohnen gewässerreiche Landschaften Eurasiens von Grönland bis zum Pazifik. Sie ernähren sich überwiegend von Fischen, Wasservögeln und Aas. Die Art wurde in Mittel- und Westeuropa durch menschliche Verfolgung und die Vergiftung durch das Insektizid DDT fast ausgerottet. Seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre nimmt der Bestand in weiten Teilen Europas wieder stark zu.

White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_eagle
The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a very large species of sea eagle widely distributed across temperate Eurasia. As are all eagles, it is a member of the family Accipitridae (or accipitrids) which includes other diurnal raptors such as hawks, kites, and harriers. One of up to eleven members in the genus Haliaeetus, which are commonly called sea eagles, it is also referred to as the white-tailed sea-eagle.[2] Sometimes, it is known as the ern or erne (depending on spelling by sources),[3] gray sea eagle[4] and Eurasian sea eagle[5]
While found across a very wide range, today breeding as far west as Greenland and Iceland across to as far east in Hokkaido, Japan, they are often scarce and very spottily distributed as a nesting species, mainly due to human activities. These have included habitat alterations and destruction of wetlands, about a hundred years of systematic persecution by humans (from the early 1800s to around World War II) followed by inadvertent poisonings and epidemics of nesting failures due to various manmade chemical pesticides and organic compounds, which have threatened eagles since roughly the 1950s and continue to be a potential concern. Due to this, the white-tailed eagle was considered endangered or extinct in several countries.[3][6][7][8] However, some populations have recovered well due to some governmental protections and dedicated conservationists and naturalists protecting habitats and nesting sites and partially regulating poaching and pesticide usage, as well as careful reintroductions into parts of their former range.[9][10][11]
White-tailed eagles usually live most of the year near large bodies of open water, including both coastal saltwater areas and inland freshwater, and require an abundant food supply and old-growth trees or ample sea cliffs for nesting.[3][9] They are considered a close cousin of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which occupies a similar niche in North America.
Now the corona epidemic, but has become no longer be able to cherry-blossom viewing, I enjoy to just at least in the SL 😊🌸

No, not the current one. “After the second wave of the Black Death swept through Europe in the 17th century, the survivors burned the bodies, thanked god, and built monumental tributes to their deliverance.” This particular column was erected in Vienna, Austria. “Vienna in 1679 was the perfect place for an epidemic outbreak. The combination of a densely packed population, poor sanitary conditions, and travelers arriving regularly in the city from parts unknown makes the arrival of the plague somewhat unsurprising, but the toll was tremendous. As many as 75,000 people perished and were burned in plague pits in the outskirts of the city, while the imperial family skipped town.
When it was all over, Emperor Leopold I rolled back into town, took some money from the royal coffers and had this monumental celebration of life over death erected - including a not terribly subtle effigy of His Imperial Highness praying for the deliverance of the city.” This plague column was one of several that I saw, but was certainly the grandest and most lavish one. Did we really think another plague would never come? Even with all the medical knowledge and science of today, it seems that we may have taken a step back in time by ignoring the information and lessons of history….
This photo speaks to anyone who runs out of their medicine early and then goes into withdrawal while waiting to fill a new prescription. It's something they run into every month. The DEA has decided it knows better than your doctor what you can have, regardless of how much you need. People should be aware of what is happening here. This so-called opioid epidemic is just an excuse to take people off their medicine, which will create the largest heroin epidemic imaginable. It really is time for Americans to wake up and realize what's really happening in their so-called democracy.
Brumleby (formerly Lægeforening's homes) is a residential building on Østerbro, Copenhagen in Denmark.
As a consequence of the cholera epidemic in Copenhagen in 1853, Brumleby was built on Østerfælled. The construction started in 1853 and the project was funded with that Lægeforeningen collected on a private basis. Lægeforeningen wanted to create healthy and cheap homes for the working class.
The construction phase stretched from 1853-1857 and in the first stage was built 240 very small one and two-bedroom apartments, where it at the beginning lived approx. 900 people. Due to the war in 1864, there was a number of years before the rest of the settlement was completed. This happened in 1866-1872.
When the construction was complete, it was approx. 550 apartments in Brumleby with approx. 2500 people living there.

The true "wild" Welsh Mountain Pony refers to the semi-feral herds that have roamed the common lands and rugged peaks of Wales for thousands of years. While they share ancestry with the domesticated Section A pony, these free-roaming hill ponies live completely independent lives in the wild. They are increasingly recognised as a unique, genetically distinct population critical to British conservation.
The Carneddau Ponies: Britain's Wildest Herd
The most famous truly wild population is the Carneddau Ponies of North Wales.
Genetic Uniqueness:
Genetic studies by Aberystwyth University established that the Carneddau herd has a completely distinct, isolated gene pool separate from modern domestic Welsh breeds.
Extreme Hardiness:
They are slightly smaller and stockier than standard Section A ponies. They survive harsh mountain winters with zero supplementary feeding. They use their hooves to scrape snow away from buried forage.
Wild Diet:
Unlike domestic horses, they readily consume coarse mountain vegetation like soft rush, gorse, and Molinia grass.
Ecological Role as "Wildlife Warriors"
Wild hill ponies are essential landscape managers across Eryri (Snowdonia), the Brecon Beacons, and the Gower Hills.
Habitat Management:
Their unique grazing style keeps invasive gorse, bracken, and aggressive grasses under control, preventing them from choking out native wildflowers.
Preventing Soil Compaction: Being lighter than cattle, they navigate fens, heathlands, and dunes without compacting the fragile upland soils.
Supporting Local Wildlife:
Their grazing creates short-grass habitats required by rare birds like the chough. Additionally, their dung provides a critical breeding ground for beetle larvae, a major food source for upland birds.
Feral Status & "The Annual Gather"
Though they live like wild animals, these ponies are technically semi-feral because they are protected by local farming families with ancient common grazing rights.
Minimal Intervention: The ponies choose their own mates, foal entirely unassisted, and roam across vast open boundaries.
When I took this photo of a juvenile Moorhen at the Grandlieu Lake, I was unaware that a botulism epidemic had already been underway since the end of June.
Currently, thousands of waterbirds have died in Loire-Atlantique (France) , both at Grandlieu Lake and in the Brière Marshes.
Dead birds are being collected daily and those which can be saved are taken by care centers.
The situation is very critical especially since the migratory birds will be arriving in a few weeks.
This epidemic is due to low water levels combined with recent high temperatures, which are favoring the development of the bacteria.
The low levels are due to the weather but also to human activity. The levels are lowered voluntarily by farmers so the cattle can graze there. There is a whole system of locks and the water flows into the Atlantic Ocean. There are conflicts of use between farmers, fishermen and hunters with a regulation that is no longer adapted to increasingly dry years.
◇◇◇
Lorsque j'ai pris cette photo d'une Gallinule juvénile au Lac de Grandlieu, j'ignorais qu'une épidémie de botulisme était déjà installée depuis la fin du mois de juin.
A l'heure actuelle, des milliers d'oiseaux sont morts en Loire-Atlantique, tant au Lac de Grandlieu que dans les Marais de Brière. Des ramassages d'oiseaux morts ont lieu quotidiennement et ceux qui peuvent être sauvés sont pris en charge par des centres de soin.
La situation est extrêmement critique d'autant que les migrateurs vont arriver dans quelques semaines.
Cette épidémie est dûe à des niveaux d'eau trop bas associés aux récentes fortes chaleurs qui favorisent le développement de la bactérie.
Les niveaux d'eaux extrêmement bas sont dûs à la météo mais aussi à l'activité humaine car ils sont volontairement descendus par les agriculteurs pour pouvoir y faire paître le bétail. L'eau est directement envoyée dans la mer. Il y a des conflits d'usage avec un règlement qui n'est plus adapté aux années de plus en plus sèches.
Je remercie Thierry de m'avoir informée de cette épidémie et aussi pour avoir aidé en tant que bénévole au ramassage des oiseaux morts : www.flickr.com/photos/25295081@N05/54666296386/in/datepos...

Schuylkill River Trail - It's even hard to imagine this place without people.
Pine Siskins seem to come in waves, some years more than others. A few years ago there seems to have been a Salmonella epidemic that really thinned their numbers. For two years I didn't see any. This year they are back in healthy numbers. BTW, many people think it was dirty bird feeders that got to the siskins. I hope people keep their feeders clean.
Thukydides described the 'plague' (possibly Typhus) in Athens in 429 B.C. This was a terrible epidemic killing up to 100 000 people in Athens alone, a quarter of the population. There was also a war going on. Did this epidemic lead the Athenians to a re-appreciation of life? I doubt it. As soon they had recovered they wasted men and money on invading Syracuse (which also went disastrously wrong). Will we become new and enlightened human beings when this pandemic is over? What do you think?

By then, certain residential compounds had been locked down, rumours had begun to spread and the flow of people on the street had decreased significantly, though most residents remained unaffected.

In the year, 1518 a woman named Frau Troffea
Started dancing in Strasbourg
and couldn't stop.
An epidemic of joy
The craze spread
The uncontrollable desire to move
Neighbors and passing witnesses
Were infected like a fire
Could not stand still
An unbearable sensation until all the limbs flailed and
The doctors and police wailed.
It had to be illness...or sin....
Something outside of the body
Now within
And then, the dancing was banned
A woman's body just had to be controlled
Even then.
Time and space is an illusion.

Marian Column in Plzeň
by wiki: The Marian (plague) column on the central Pilsen Square of the Republic in front of the Imperial House is built in the Baroque style. The column was built by the city council in 1681 as thanks for the end of the plague epidemic. The statue is finished with a replica of the Gothic sculpture of the Pilsen Madonna. The last major renovation took place in 2020-2021.

The "QR code for the place" on the wall outside the window is a new-born relic of the past, after six months of monitoring the lives of the residents, as China has completely abandoned its anti-epidemic restrictions.
Theoretically, each customer was supposed to scan the "QR code for the place" with his/her smartphone, which then displayed a so-called "health QR code": if it was green, it meant there is no problem, if it was yellow, the customer would be refused and, if it was red, everyone, whether the customer with the red QR code or the shop assistants who were present, would be arrested and taken to a concentration camp for quarantine.
the more likely one is to contract it ;-)

on February 7, 2021, blizzard Darcy raged across Western Europe, a strong wind accompanied by drifting snow. The last heavy snowstorm in Amsterdam dates from 1985. In the evening the storm had died down. Wind, cold, dark? It's minus eight degrees celcius. All reasons to go outside. Scarf on, walking shoes on and into the city centre. Do you see those lights, do you see the smoke coming out of the chimney and do you hear the fire crackling? The snow reflects the light in the evening, giving you a beautiful view. I enjoy the sound of crunching snow under my shoes and the beautiful view of the Amsterdam canal houses. Walking in winter is not only a guarantee for red cheeks and a breath of fresh air, but is also good for body and soul. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in winter. The Jordaan is covered with thick snow as above on the Brouwersgracht. There is a tranquil beauty of snow and cozy light inside the cancal houses. A white blanket does indeed make Amsterdam slightly different from those other 360 days of the year: different views, different sounds, different light. A winter party sprinkled with white confetti. And it is quite simply a welcome break in the covid-19 lockdown. A period when the days start to look more and more alike and string together in a uniform slurry, with only the longing for the future as a ray of light in the darkness of the curfew. The snow remains at this temperature. More than 10 centimeters of snow has fallen. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen, go sledding and adults go cross-country skiing. All fun activities that people do in this beautiful snowy world. The most beautiful canal in Amsterdam is located on the Brouwersgracht in a fantastic location in the middle of the 17th century canal belt on the border of the Jordaan. Brouwersgracht was dug in 1585. It is a quiet canal and beautiful at any time of the year. In 2007, the Brouwersgracht was proclaimed the most beautiful street in Amsterdam by readers of Het Parool.
Storm Darcy was a storm that hit parts of Western Europe from February 7, 2021. In the Netherlands, Belgium, the east of the United Kingdom and parts of the north and west of Germany, strong winds were accompanied by drifting snow, creating snow dunes. The last heavy snowstorm in Amsterdam dates from 1985. The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Adults even go cross-country skiing. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. It's a joy to walk around the canals in my neighborhood. Photo taken here at the Nieuwe Vissersstraat, Brouwersgracht intersection which is on the UNESCO World Heritage.
op 7 februari 2021 raasde sneeuwstorm Darcy over West- Europa deze hard wind ging gepaard met stuifsneeuw. De laatste zware sneeuwstorm in Amsterdam dateert van 1985. In de avond was de storm gaan liggen. Wind, kou, donker? Het is min acht graden. Allemaal redenen om juist wel naar buiten te gaan. Sjaal om, wandelschoenen aan en de Jordaan in. Zie je die lichtjes, zie je het rook uit de schoorsteen en hoor je de openhaard knetteren? De sneeuw reflecteert het licht in de avond, waardoor je een prachtig zicht hebt. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. 's Winters wandelen is niet alleen een garantie voor rode wangen en een frisse neus, maar is ook goed voor lichaam en geest. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam centrum is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw zoals hierboven op de Brouwersgracht. Er is een verstilde schoonheid van sneeuw en kou. Een witte deken maakt Amsterdam inderdaad net even anders dan die andere 360 dagen in het jaar: andere uitzichten, andere geluiden, andere lichtval. Een winterfeest besprenkeld met witte confetti. En het is simpelweg ook een welkome onderbreking in de coronalockdown. Een periode waarin de dagen steeds meer op elkaar gaan lijken en zich aaneenrijgen in een uniforme brij, met alleen het verlangen naar de toekomst als een lichtpuntje in het duister van de avondklok. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan 10 centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De mooiste gracht van Amsterdam ligt aan de Brouwersgracht op een fantastische plek middenin de 17e eeuwse grachtengordel op de grens van de Jordaan. De gracht werd in 1585 gegraven. Het is een rustige gracht en mooi-in-elk-jaargetijde. In 2007 werd de Brouwersgracht door de lezers van Het Parool uitgeroepen tot de mooiste straat van Amsterdam.

I went to Lisbon on a different literary excursion on behalf of my love for the author, José Saramago. I did't really know all that much about Fado when I arrived and I still don't know all that much...but what I do know is that I have very little interest in purses or shoes but I have a lot of interest in music and the art of human expression and these mannequins didn't seem to want to sell anything to me, despite their flashy surroundings. They did want to sing and play music for me, though.
In this time of Coronavirus, I need music more than ever. My favorites are sometimes what you wouldn't expect-definitely not 'happy' pop music. I like the deep feelers like the band Low or GY!BE or Leonard Cohen or Broadcast. If I want something slightly more whimsical, Stereolab is usually my best bet. I've also been reading a great book about gender identity and music by Sasha Geffen called Glitter Up the Dark. I'm only up to 40% of the way through but I'd recommend it!
Another thing these mannequins are doing is reminding me of a time when all of the concerts and festivals I wanted to attend weren't getting cancelled and when I could actually experience all that great music live...though, ideally not in a store where I would also buy a purse (I don't own any purses. I own a camera bag.)
None of this has much to do with fado specifically, I guess. But, I saw this center mannequin and I could tell regardless of the genre, she was singing my song and without realizing it, my mirror neurons fired and I was singing a song of my own right with her. And I doubt that song was about shoes or purses. In fact, I know it wasn't.

Because the Grand Hotel has adopted a low-price strategy and the booking rate is now rising, the epidemic prevention lighting had come to an end on May 6.

In the night of March 27th, an announcement was made by the Shanghai government to close Pudong and Puxi in succession.
At midnight that night, Pudong went into lockdown first. On the following day, the residents in Puxi rushed to buy vegetables, meat and fish, and food prices soared.
At the time, however, people like the ones in this photo mostly thought the food rush had nothing to do with them. Now, many of ones like them are scared out of their wits by the harsh and barbaric govermental measures and are making plans to flee this desperate country.

On the afternoon of 31 March, with a few hours to go, all residents would be banned from going outside. Despite the overcast sky and the prospect of a downpour, this old man was seriously trying to dry his sheets and clothes, perhaps to enjoy the last moments of outdoor activity.
Here it is another picture from one of my sunrise sessions in Umbria last Summer. There are all the ingredients of the archetypical natural landscape of that beautiful region: the lazy outline of mount Subasio, gentle rolling hills, olive groves, oaks, and a deep sense of peace. And that silky, golden light just before the sun rose over the ridge of mount Subasio bathing the whole scene. I would not spend many words about a rebirth of hope, a change in the mind of people, and so on: the title, which is the recurrent motto all over Italy in these dark days, should talk by itself. And the photo as well.
I allow myself just a note about the choice of this picture from my rich Umbrian archive - which is a second choice. After having wasted many hours attacking (utterly unsuccessfully) for the second or third time one of the Umbrian bracketings I like most, I decided that the second best thing was to fight a war I can win. So I simply choose an alternative bracketing and processed it - the same morning, the same location, the very same sunrise... one stubbornly refuses to be processed in any meaningful way, while the other one has accepted to be moulded according to my vision. I hope that you will enjoy it.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.4/0/+1.4 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. RAW files has been processed with Darktable.
A good contribution to the post-processing of part of the foreground came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic.
So much to question

The diphtheria epidemics of 1883 and 1897-1898 and cholera in 1894 during the early settlement years took the lives of many people living in the Pleasant Plains area. Many of the graves were marked by planting clumps of iris, bushes, or trees or just putting limestone rocks on the gravesite. With the passage of time, the limestone rocks deteriorated and flowers, bushes and trees died. It is estimated there were about 100 burials in the cemetery from 1879 to 1915. As near as can be determined, the last burial was about 1912.

The Vectron epidemic has unfortunately also gripped countries like the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Leased locomotives are displacing the charming old locomotives at the state-owned companies České drahy and Žeľezničná spoločnosť Slovensko. On September 25, 2025, Vectrons from both railway companies meet each other at Praha Hlavní Nádraží station. Czech 193 577 is neatly in its company colors, while Slovak 193 131, like so many other Vectrons, is dressed in a guise with unclear intentions. The latter locomotive is ready to depart for Púchov with EC127.

By then, certain residential compounds had been locked down, rumours had begun to spread and the flow of people on the street had decreased significantly, though most residents remained unaffected.

At 2 p.m. on 31 March 2022, cordons were drawn up all along the streets and the officials were urging the shops to close. This grocery shop was so packed with people and was never likely to reopen from then until today, and no one knows if it will ever open again.

A photo I took this year in the summer. Taken in The Black Country Museum. An industrial Revolution classroom. She was teaching about epidemics, relevant then and now. As of lunchtime today I, my good lady wife and daughter have become a number in the epidemics song book, all testing positive. One day in the future classrooms will be talking about this like all the other moments in history. It will pass, people will grieve, survive and remember and the World will spin on. A New Year awaits 2021.
society is the epidemic, they all talk about you, about me, indirectly, behind backs, talk as if they speak right from the gap where the soul should be, that we’re in depression instead of consciousness and dreams are symptoms. As if they have transferred to a word a disease, and drop us like a sentence into the depth of empty eyes and there’s no wall, but only a sharp sheet of paper between us and them.
Are we the dreams of sleepwalkers? The awakened in a dream?
I really love you, Kostaki

In the night of March 27th, an announcement was made by the Shanghai government to close Pudong and Puxi in succession.
At midnight that night, Pudong went into lockdown first. On the following day, the residents in Puxi rushed to buy vegetables, meat and fish, and food prices soared.
