For me it is one of those sights I could watch for hours...the way that a flight of geese constantly shifts in shape and size...from a line to a wave, to a chevron, as different birds seem to take their turn in leading the flock.
I have no doubt that it all makes perfect sense to them as they operate on an instinctive level born though thousands of generations following the same route; guided by sun, stars, winds, ley lines, constant landmarks and who knows what else?
We certainly don't know in any certainty.
Which is just marvellous.
Thanks everyone for all the kind Comments and Visits!

Life is but a brief journey through time. The Awe of the Grand Canyon makes us pause and ponder the real scale of time. A true beast of nature, the climate, has had it up’s and Downs: Hot periods, Cold periods, Glaciers to Floods, Tropics to Mountains, and, Today, here sets one of the great testaments to those violent periods in the evolution of Earth.
Mans existence is but a blink in the vast time scale of Earth. And yet, from her violent past, she leaves us this great spectacle so we may glimpse her troubled past.

Probably the minifig that show the most drastic evolution over the years... On the center : my first version, made using my custom ODG CB torsos, Brickarms "Fritz" medic helmet and carefully removed vinyl sticker "apron".
Ont he sides, my newest versions : MRU torsos and legs, custom printed arms (private printing), Brickmania/CB helmet...
I don't think I'll work on them anymore :-)
Macro Mondays theme, 'Evolution'.
Maybe a slight twist on the two objects rule, we shall see.
But it is within the 3inch rule ;-))
One of the most distinctive trees of the Kenyan savanna is Acacia (Vachellia) drepanolobium or whistling Thorn. It has evolved a very special symbiotic relationship. Gall-like, hollow, swollen bases at some of the spine pairs have evolved, each with a small entry hole. A very specific colony of small ants can have their nests in those structures and be safe. In return the small but aggressive ants attack any animal trying to browse the tree.
The common name Whistling Thorn is based on the fact that the wind blowing through the trees makes the swellings act like improvised flutes and they sometimes produce a whistling sound.

Variable pixel size VPS (Variable Pixel Size)
I use this in Black and White!!!
Foveon X3 has another interesting feature - it can change the size of the pixel (in the future, this technology will be called VPS). The VPS technology opens up new horizons for the cameras and cameras they are installed in. The uniqueness of the technology lies in the fact that the matrix can change its resolution by combining signals from several pixels into one, which allows us to perceive a group of pixels as one large pixel.
For example: a sensor of 2300 x 1500 pixels contains approximately 3.4 million pixels. If we combine all the pixels in 4 × 4 pixel groups using VPS technology, we would end up with a matrix of 575 × 375 pixels, but each of them would be 16 times larger than the nominal pixel. This would significantly increase the amount of light received by one pixel, and inevitably would lead to an increase in the sensitivity of the Foveon X3 matrix.
The most common possible configurations of pixel groups are:
2 x 2 pixels
4 x 4 pixels
1 x 2 pixels
Management of groups of pixels occurs through a complex scheme integrated into Foveon X3
Because Foveon X3 fixes the entire portion of the visible range at each pixel location, the pixels in the merged groups are full-color "highest-quality pixels."
Pixel grouping increases the "Useful signal / Noise ratio", allowing you to take full-color shots in low light with minimal color distortion. Thanks to VPS technology, it became possible to increase pixels, reducing their total number and resolution

Go-Ahead London`s 709 (AE09 DHG) a Man MCV Evolution, passes the Pickhurst stop along Pickhust Lane, Bromley on the 23rd of December 2015, whilst on route 246 to Westerham. Right behind me is a large pub, which was built in 1936 as The Pickhurst Tavern. Eearlier this year, it was refiited, and is now a Miller & Carter Steakhouse. They haven`t even kept the Pickhurst name, simply just 'Miller & Carter steakhouse' so it becomes another establishment that will never get any of my custom.

Seen here is the evolution of my light cruiser design.
In this picture they are sorted by the "era" that they represent, the botoom one is a treaty cruiser from the late 20s, the midle one an early WW II cruiser while the top one is represents a mid-war cruiser.
The order by which I build them is somewhat different though, the middle one came first, than the bottom one, then the top one.

Spending time with one’s boyfriend while he fishes has probably gone on for centuries. Being able to access the Internet and attend class on a laptop while spending time at the lake with him has not. The evolution of virtual education, shopping, and entertainment still astounds.
