It was exciting to find this male Bufflehead in full breeding plumage. Another subtle reminder that warmer weather is on the way. What a wonderful time of the year to be a nature photographer.

It is always exciting to take fog photos. On the Benkelloch - my local mountain, the fog was slowly clearing and the sun broke through more and more. I therefore went deeper into the valley, where there was even more fog - it quickly dissolved. This picture was created on the border where fog and sun came together.

EN: In Germany we have not as many diamonds as in the US. A very unknown one is situated in Hamburg port area in the west of Wilhelmsburg. - One of the most exciting excursions on the port rail network took part at the weekend 15./16.09.2007. Hired by the organizing team of "IBA 2013" a double VTA-set of AKN was running up and down the lines of Hamburg Port. Here we see that train crossing the street Schmidts Breite and the parallel track by a diamond.

DE: Während in den USA "Diamonds", also Flachkreuzungen zwischen zwei Strecken, die sonst nicht viel miteinander zu tun haben, Gang und Gäbe sind, gibt es sowas in Deutschland eher selten. Ein unbekannter "Diamond" befindet sich im Bereich der Hamburger Hafenbahn im Westen des Stadtteils Wilhelmsburg an der Straße Schmidts Breite. Er wird gerade von einer doppelten VTA-Garnitur der AKN gequert, die im Rahmen einer Vorveranstaltung zur Internationalen Bau Ausstellung (IBA) 2013 am Wochenende 15./16.09.2007 das komplette Hafenbahnnetz bereiste.

We generally think in terms of Renault as producing some exciting Rally and a few race cars, but mostly the public thinks of a French VW.....cheap transportation for the masses. But in the early days they also made some incredible Limos, including this wonderful Model XB Transformable Landaulet bodied by Henri Labourdette....how is that for a mouthful?
Louis Renault left his draughtsman's job at Delaunay-Belleville in 1897 to create his own car: the 1898 Renault Type A, an innovative and well-designed voiturette built at his family home in Boulogne-Billancourt. From that single car, Renault's industrial empire grew quickly. In 1905 the Type X was introduced; it had a 3-liter, 4-cylinder engine and was offered in three chassis lengths.
The Renault automobiles of the early 1900s had a unique style with a sleek sloping nose. The radiators, which were prominent on most other cars of the era, was positioned behind the engine and immediately ahead of the driver....nice place to get scalded.
Renault introduced the 4-cylinder, 13-liter Type AK in 1906, which would be used to race in the Grand Prix de l'Automobile Club de France and eventually won this grueling event by some distance. Their accomplishments in racing, along with their reputation for quality and performance, made them popular within the market.
One of the company's upmarket touring saloons was the long-wheelbase Type XB. It had a four-cylinder engine from dual two-cylinder castings with a displacement size of 3 liters. There was a four-speed gearbox and a forged front axle with double effect hydraulic shock absorbers. These vehicles, available in three different chassis lengths, were very very luxurious and comfortable.

Exciting new things coming next month! Sippy Cup + Babysteps working together = cuteness overload. This dress will be available September 1st at Bella Bebe
This has to be one of the weirdest winters I have ever seen up here. We've had a major earthquake, followed by thousands of aftershocks, (which are still taking place in 2019.) Hurricane force winds have hit areas of our state, and old man winter, that first withheld snowfall - followed up that period with major snowfalls in Anchorage and surrounding areas. If that wasn't exciting enough; temperatures have been well above normal, causing rain to turn roads into skating rinks. Tomorrow the temperatures will begin to drop to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit in my little corner of Alaska's boreal forest. You'll find me comfortably settled by our cozy woodstove, just waiting to see what mother nature intends to send our way next.
**(In this image I have tried to depict what winter has been like so far. This morning the sunrise was quite pretty.)
It was exciting to see a family outing of the Swamp Harriers above Braeside as the year drew to a close. Four birds were gracefully enjoying the air currents and the young ones were honing their newly developed skills.
Here's one of the young birds.
(Circus approximans)
I noticed that Cheeks and Sister seemed to like this turtle. So, I decided to let them take a little imaginary ride in it. They loved it !!
This the view that was presented when we arrived for our sail on Oosterschelde. It was very exciting.
an exciting drive home in another snowstorm, but as I write this it has turned to rain, I think we've all had enough snow here in Lotusland :)

It's the first recording in Turkey and I wanted to share it with you. The most interesting species to date. It was discovered by a group in Hatay. It's a very exciting genre. enjoy watching
This exciting game was born somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates around 3000 BC. Today we named it as Backgammon, due to Edmund Hoyle's book "A Short Treatise on the Game of Back-Gammon," published in 1743 in Dublin. I learned to play this game with the Arab family of a friend, with its original name: "Tabule".

Mountain biking is an exciting outdoor sport that involves riding bicycles off-road, usually on rough terrain such as dirt trails, forests, and mountains. It requires strength, balance, and good control of the bike.
It is really exciting when you hike for days through rough and remote nature and suddenly come across a small settlement of two yurts and a few human souls - Kyrgyzstan
That amazing ,exciting place is in Tatra Mountains.
To find this you must go first to Kościeliska Valley
and next turn to Cracow's Gorge...And in the end
of that Gorge is hiding entrance to Dragon Cave...
Adults and children looove that place...very exciting trip...:-)))

This galaxy has a far more exciting and futuristic classification than most — it hosts a megamaser. Megamasers are intensely bright, around 100 million times brighter than the masers found in galaxies like the Milky Way. The entire galaxy essentially acts as an astronomical laser that beams out microwave emission rather than visible light (hence the ‘m’ replacing the ‘l’).
A megamaser is a process where some components within a galaxy (like gas clouds) are in the right stimulated physical condition to radiate intense energy (in this case, microwaves).
This megamaser galaxy is named IRAS 16399-0937 and is located over 370 million light-years from Earth. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image belies the galaxy’s energetic nature, instead painting it as a beautiful and serene cosmic rosebud. The image comprises observations captured across various wavelengths by two of Hubble’s instruments: the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS).
NICMOS’s superb sensitivity, resolution, and field of view gave astronomers the unique opportunity to observe the structure of IRAS 16399-0937 in detail. They found it hosts a double nucleus — the galaxy’s core is thought to be formed of two separate cores in the process of merging. The two components, named IRAS 16399N and IRAS 16399S for the northern and southern parts respectively, sit over 11,000 light-years apart. However, they are both buried deep within the same swirl of cosmic gas and dust and are interacting, giving the galaxy its peculiar structure.
The nuclei are very different. IRAS 16399S appears to be a starburst region, where new stars are forming at an incredible rate. IRAS 16399N, however, is something known as a LINER nucleus (Low Ionization Nuclear Emission Region), which is a region whose emission mostly stems from weakly-ionized or neutral atoms of particular gases. The northern nucleus also hosts a black hole with some 100 million times the mass of the sun!

NC - July 2022
It has been exciting for three years in a row to have the Prothonotary Warbler nesting in a box I built in my back yard. This year is even more exciting because they visit and feed aggressively on my suet feeder continuously through the day. Also, for the first time they use my bird bath.
Nights in Tombstone can be exciting. Let me paint you a picture.
It’s 12am - my alarm goes off and I wake up in a tent in complete darkness. Two hours of sleep in. I’m exhausted from a day of walking, but I’m also curious and excited. I pull back the tent fly, and peek out to be greeted by dancing streams of green overhead. All feelings of tiredness evaporate in a second and my next moves become calculated. “What’s the quickest way to put myself together, get out of this tent, and into the night?” I fumble with my clothes and jacket, trying to gage the temperature - I don’t know how long I’ll be up or where I’ll be, but I want to stay warm after getting out of that wonderful sleeping bag. I get out of the tent and stand up - I can really assess the northern lights. Now comes decision time - where to shoot? "Did I plan a spot earlier in the day? What direction has the best light? Do I know any views that look that direction? How far is that river again? I don’t think it’s that far. I’m going for it."
At night? It was that far.
When I eventually got back to the tent, I was greeted by my hiking partner (Dean) getting dressed. Me - “Where were you headed?” Dean - “To look for you! You’ve been gone for hours and you didn’t tell me where you were going - it’s 3:30am!” Crap. I’m going to owe him a beer for being a bad hiking partner.
Anyway, this image was created from exhaustion, snap decision making, and poor communication. As is tradition when the excitement of the northern lights catches you half asleep. In the end I was happy with how it turned out!
Taken with a Canon 5DIV and a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 from 2 exposures - one for the sky, one for the foreground.
I can't quite believe it but my storm at Porthcawl image has won me a place being shortlisted in the British Photography Awards too! Absolutely mind blown right now!

Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.
exciting exit 😊

Every sunset is different, because every day; sun

reflections are different....mountains are different,
fogs are different, and above all, we are different.

This was an exciting image for me, not because it is technically perfect, but because I have never been able to get close to Eiders before. On this day we just sat and waiting and eventually a small group swam close and allowed a few snaps. This was a photographic "lifer."

Something exciting has happened to the humble native coneflower over the past decade. Breeders have put their best efforts toward developing new and improved colors and forms of this easy-growing native perennial wildflower. Some of the newest varieties are hybrid crosses between two different coneflower species. With these makeovers, Echinacea has morphed into a rock star in the garden. With the addition of so many new Echinacea forms, it is possible to design an entire landscape centered on this flower.
Not that there was anything wrong with the original E. purpurea, a familiar dusky purple daisy-like flower with a prominent orange center. Its long bloom period, self-seeding habit, and drought tolerance still make it a favorite of beginners and professionals alike, who delight in the wildlife-friendly attributes of the pollen-rich blooms. Coneflowers are trouble-free but just watch out that you don't overwater the plant or root rot and fungal diseases like powdery mildew can occur.
Nothing too exciting today; I rooted through the neighbour's garden for flowers to press and decided to set up a still life before throwing the flowers in the book pictured here. I'm really hoping these poppies turn out when pressed. I have plans for them... I guess we'll find out in a month or so.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
