HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This is what happens to the little vase of pink Cyclamen more than a month ago.
It was too hot here, and we did not know that two watering in a day was enough to make the flowers falling down and the roots to rot.
Fortunately I took some photos before the plant definitely died.
This is the first image.
Wish all my Flickr friends a very happy week ahead!
Please, excuse me for not being able to answer the numerous faves and comments in my last two photos on Explore, with a lot of visualizations. I really don't know if I will be capable of this tiresome work this time.
I also need to make a require to unknowing people who usually return to my gallery and add as favorites 25 or even 100 photos. Sorry, but I don't have time nor physical disposition to reciprocrate all of this.
So, please don't do this.

This species is one of the most widespread terns in all North America which is quite remarkable considering their numbers were almost wiped out entirely by hunters seeking feathers in the late 19th century. The protection they needed came in the form of the Migratory Bird Treaty in 1918 and their population increased steadily until human disturbance, habitat loss and pollution in recent decades has lead to their numbers receding again.
This migrant spends its winters in Central and South America and can be listed as a long distance migrator since one banded in Great Britain was recovered in Australia.
In the spring and fall they can be found patrolling the shorelines of lakes and rivers plunge diving for food.
This bird is shaking off the excess water from a dive while if flight.

Bearded Reedling - Panurus Biarmicus
Norfolk Titchwell
aka Bearded Tit. (M)
This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.
Often having to take grit in order to help digestion.
The bearded reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate other than eruptive or cold weather movements. It is vulnerable to hard winters, which may kill many birds. The English population of about 500 pairs is largely confined to the south and east with a small population in Leighton Moss in north Lancashire. In Ireland a handful of pairs breed in County Wexford. The largest single population in Great Britain is to be found in the reedbeds at the mouth of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where there may be in excess of 250 pairs.
Other Breeding areas include Norfolk and Somerset and Alkborough Flats, lincolnshire.
Population:
UK breeding:
630 pairs
Europe:
232 - 437,000 birds
Only 5 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sports were built at the end of 1962 and beginning of 1963. Originally General Motors had planned to produce 125 cars to homologate it for GT racing, but the project was cancelled before it really got started, due to a manufacturer agreement to no longer support or provide parts for racing (an agreement that was circumvented through use of third party so called independent companies such as Holman).
Conceived as a competitor to the dominant Shelby cobra, the Grand Sport looked to address some of the issues faced by the standard car by stripping out much of the excess weight it carried. At the time, the Cobra was nearly a 1,000lbs lighter than the Corvette, by the time GM had completed the Grand Sport prototype, they had shaved nearly 1,350lbs from the car.
When tested back to back with the Cobra, the Grand Sport proved to be quicker and more nimble, but because it had not been homologated, had to run in the prototype class rather than the GT class, so it never had chance to race like-for-like with its direct competitor.
All 5 of the original Grand Sports still exist today, and were brought together at the 2003 Amelia Island Concours in Florida, the only time the cars have been seen collectively. Maybe they will all appear togther again at the Goodwood Members Meeting one day.

The first posted image of 2019. January 1.
After a string of very ornate work I thought it would be a refreshing thing to start the new year off with a straight out of the camera, pano-sabotage shot. There was no processing used other than standard tweaks to clarify and sharpen the image, take out excess white glare and bump up the saturation a bit.
The brightly coloured planes to the right of the image are not the result of filters or effects, post capture. The older buildings to the left are contrasted by another that is covered with long strips of highly irridescent metal that shift colour as you move around the structure. Hence the striking colour facets in the image to the right.
Pano-Sabotage, or more simply, "Pano", is a unique photographic practice that undermines, or sabotages the iPhone's camera Pano function. By deliberately moving the camera in a wide variety of motions OFF the guiding line that is meant to ensure a seamless panoramic image, the camera is "constantly trying to find North", as Tim Noonan once put it, and so is desperately trying to record what it sees as "up". The many "ups", tumbling against each other, is what results.

In the late 19th century there was a lot of philosophical, spiritual and mathematic talk about the 4th dimension. This ferment of ideas, super potent and conceptually rich, made their way to one Pablo Picasso. The mathematical theories of Henri Poincaré, the poetic writings of Guillaume Appolinaire, two widely divergent thinkers, both influenced Picasso. He struggled with the ideas artistically, shutting himself away in the Bateau Lavoir until he gave birth to the painting that altered the course of Art, "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon". In it he finally realized how, on a 2 dimensional plane, to visually convey what a fourth dimensional image would show ... all angles of an object as seen simultaneously. The Analytical Cubist vision, then, asks the VERY potent question ... does anything, ultimately, have a defining, absolute shape ?
Albert Einstein, at the same time, also influenced by Poincaré, was asking strikingly similar questions about assumed absolutes, leading him, of course, to his theories of relativity.
Pano-Sabotage ( Pano ) seems to echo this view and offers, perhaps, through a new technology, another way to render, or at least strongly point to, the 4th dimension.

Horseshoe Curve is an icon, a feat of engineering, a strategical component of Norfolk Southern's extensive network in the east. Elementally, it's a little more than a half circle, plain and simple--220-some odd degrees arced around a diameter spanning in excess of 1,200' with an offset of 9.25" at the midpoint of every 62' chord length. Nonsensical geometry to some, but in this gibberish of numbers resides 16+ decades of history and lore plus a dramatic spectacle for every traversal of a train around one of its several main tracks. This most celebrated location on the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, perhaps the most famous curve in all of railroading, circumvolves trains around both ridges bordering Kittanning Run west of Altoona, easing the Pennsy's westward crossing of the Alleghenies to surmountable grades not exceeding 2%. Though the Pennsy is long gone and one of its four famous lanes has been nixed, Horseshoe Curve continues to support major tonnage, exceeding 100 MGT per calendar year, as a focal point on Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, continuing its purpose of serving as a vital artery in the conveyance of goods from the Midwest to the east. This time, its 25V's turn to take center stage, immersing the vivid valley of Kittanning Run with the sonic pounding of FDL horsepower dragging their containerized payload from Jersey to Chi-town towards the top of the mountain at Gallitzin. Once the engines pass, the throaty exhaust racket will defer to the piercing screech of metal-to-metal contact as the conical tread of each wheel loses the ability to steer through the tightly bent strips of iron and the flanges are pressed into action against the gauge face of the rail. A pitch perfect performance in mountain railroading, no doubt.
Parent tern feeding its young at the Nickelson Beach in Long Island, New York.
Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America, spending its winters as far south as Argentina and Chile. They are social birds foraging in groups and nesting on the ground in colonies.
The common tern drinks on the wing, dipping its bill in the water with its wings held up. They can drink saltwater or freshwater - like many seabirds, they have nasal glands that excrete excess salt.
