White-tailed Kites in a courtship exchange where the male holds the prey in his kiting position for her to grab with her talons. It's harder than it looks - she actually misses this try by a feather but he holds steady and she gets another chance. I just couldn't pass up on the light in their eyes on this one.
Do be sure and check it large with a couple of clicks.
It's kind of funny thinking back to the time before social media when a whole number (that you may or may not lose) might mean the difference between marriage or never seeing someone again. That's a little extreme but it's funny how we all got in the hang of memorizing and keeping track of these things and, in this modern age, it seems far more likely that the conversation might be "You can follow me on ___" and that information is then attached to much more than a simple number. You might get to see everything about the person's tastes from what they post, which might make conversation easier on those first few dates but also takes out the element of surprise. Then again, you can also see if you'd want to not pursue a person at all based on what you find out. Of course, if this woman called the other human's number, she'd have a date with pizza so that's an added bonus!

I spent a lot of mornings and evenings to get one of this images. Although not satisfied with the cropping I had to do, but at least the image came out fine. Yeah, I know I always complain, but man, so much time spent to get a green background. Fortunately they faced in the direction of the camera.

It was a rather brief meeting with some short and sharp exchanges of opinions.

From my epic experience with the mated White-tailed Kites, here's another use of that hovering "kiting" skill. The male holds steady with his prey, a gift for his mate as she comes in from behind to take the offering with her talons. It's pretty cool to watch - they start calling at each other before you can even see him coming with the catch. They're very vocal, a real joy.
A Grade 1 listed building opened in 1863 that has housed corn traders, animal shows, night clubs and shops. The exchange doubled as a leather market from 1903 and also hosted animal shows, but its main purpose was as a corn market. Every Tuesday corn traders would gather to buy and sell their wares.
Due to the decline in agriculture the building was gradually converted into a shopping centre. An opening was cut into the trading floor and new stairs were installed to allow visitors easy access to the basement and the balcony. The corn traders continued to trade at the Corn Exchange until 1994.
With thanks to The Great Yorkshire Shop, Call Lane, Leeds Corn Exchange.
The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]

With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".

The Lumber Exchange Building was the first skyscraper built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, dating to 1885. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Franklin B. Long and Frederick Kees and was billed as one of the first fireproof buildings in the country. It is the oldest high-rise building standing in Minneapolis, and is the oldest building outside of New York City with 12 or more floors.
Just across the river Irwell (bottom of the picture) is the Greengate area of the City of Salford; I took this picture from the Manchester side of the river. An estimated £950 million of investment was planned for building work between 2016 and 2020 with a further £900 million between 2020 and 2026. The Greengate area sits in the heart of Salford where the vision for the future, as far ahead as 2040, is for it to become a distinctive place to live, work and to attract visitors. These building sit on the site of the old Manchester Exchange Railway Station; even thought it was in Salford. From 16 April 1929, Exchange Station had a platform link to the adjacent Victoria Station, (which is still in use today and is in Manchester), thus creating Europe's longest platform at 2,238 feet (682 m); it could accommodate three trains at once.
Five minutes before I took this I was asked to stop taking pictures of the two buildings centre and right, by security. I asked why and was told I was standing on private land. I was on the bridge to the right of the image, so I stepped off the bridge onto Victoria Street and took this picture. Now standing on public land in Manchester I can now take a picture legally; how stupid is that?
