Pied Flycatcher (M) - Ficedula hypoleuca
The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.
It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.
It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.
The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.
Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

The Indian rhinoceros is a rhinoceros species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, as populations are fragmented and restricted to less than 20,000 km2. Moreover, the extent and quality of the rhino's most important habitat, the alluvial Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands and riverine forest, is considered to be in decline due to human and livestock encroachment. As of August 2018, the global population was estimated to comprise 3,588 individuals, including 2,939 individuals in India and 649 in Nepal. Kaziranga National Park alone had an estimated population of 2,048 rhinos in 2009.
Nearly 85% of the global Indian rhinoceros population is concentrated in Assam, where Kaziranga National Park contains 70% of rhino population. (Wikipedia)

This very large male rhino had just had an altercation with another very large male. He is leaving the scene of the dust-up with a couple of wounds to his shoulder and a couple of Eastern Cattle-Egrets on his back. The ranger that was with us was not concerned with the injury.

A figure really shows the extent of the rice terraces and the great work that must have been required to carve them into the mountain.
Just as amazing is how well the terraces continue to hold up (over 600 years since they were started) and be useful year after year to this day.

Lo and behold, it's Poppy Day again. I'm surprised myself how many different shots I brought back from just three different locations.
Somehow they are quite similar to some extent and yet they are not. I have no idea if you understand what I mean by that.
In any case, their specificity is enough to post them all.
I've counted it, we'll still have about two months of Poppy day as my monday flower greetings. Unless I bring one here and there in the middle of the week.
Und siehe da, schon ist wieder Mo(h)ntag. Ich bin selber überrascht, wie viele verschiedene Aufnahmen ich von nur drei verschiedenen Standorten mitgebracht habe.
Irgendwie sind die sich schon teilweise recht ähnlich und trotzdem auch wieder nicht. Ich hab keine Ahnung ob ihr versteht was ich damit meine.
Auf jeden Fall reicht ihre jeweilige Besonderheit aus um sie alle zu posten.
Ich hab mal durchgezählt, wir werden noch ungefähr zwei Monate Mo(h)ntage haben. Es sei denn ich bring hier und da mal eins schon mitte der Woche.

Bamian Valley marked the westernmost extent of Buddhist expansion. Since the 6th century, its reddish-brown cliffs had held the Buddhas of Bamian, standing 180 (this one) and 125 feet tall. They were celebrated landmarks on the Silk Road, the ancient trade route linking China, the Middle East, and Europe until the mid-15th century. The cliffs were also honeycombed with caves where monks once lived. A dark spiral stairway, carved inside the cliff, climbed to the top of the tallest Buddha, passed around its head, then down the other side. Openings at the shoulders allowed anyone brave enough to climb out and take in the view. Both Buddhas were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001.
Despite its name, the Brazilian Tanager is not, quite, endemic to the lowlands of the Atlantic Forest biome of eastern Brazil, being also found in extreme northeast Argentina. Males are impossible mistake, being brilliant scarlet-red with a black tail and wings, and a very obviously pale mandible to the bill. Females, on the other hand, are less distinctively plumaged and recall, to some extent, females of other Ramphocelus tanagers, or even some Tachyphonus, but are generally much redder over the underparts than any similar species. There is no known overlap with the congeneric and much more widespread Silver-beaked Tanager (Ramphocelus carbo), which is substantially darker in both sexes than the present species, although the two probably come close in various parts of eastern Brazil.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Thursday!

Kortright Centre for Conservation, or simply Kortright Centre, is a suburban conservation area in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada in the northern part of the Greater Toronto Area. It is between Rutherford Road to the south and Major Mackenzie Drive to the north. It is located 38 km northwest of downtown Toronto, about 4 km west of Highway 400. The area in which it is located is predominantly forested in its western and northern extent. The Humber River is situated in the west and the Cold Creek and Harris Creek are to the north.
The 325 hectare Kortright Centre, which opened in 1979, is operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. It is named after Dr. Francis Kortright (1887–1972), an engineer, businessman, author and dedicated conservationist.[1]
The forest consists of pine trees to the north and east, especially northeast of the main attraction and the centre and maple trees to the south, and the west. The attractions include horse riding 50 m to the east not far from the parking lots. A field which is used only for horses is to the north.

… I guess I‘ve always been to a certain extent. I remember being around the age of 7 or 8 when I recorded the first 'album' which consisted of a friend of mine and me playing on a small toy piano. It was probably around 25-30 minutes of instrumental music, recorded on a cassette, and the process for each song was me trying to come up with some chords and then telling my friend which keys he could use to improvise a melody over it.
I‘m sure quality varied… but of course the memory is hazy. We even thought of titles for each track, trying to match the mood of the songs and made some cover artwork for it. A couple of years later - when I was a somewhat 'cool kid' with 11 or 12 - I found the cassette again and deleted it, in order to avoid the risk of anyone else finding it and laughing at me…
Decades later I would love to still have it and listen to it, but I guess that‘s the way it is. 😂

Perhaps no other house in Riga embodies the spirit of the Renaissance to such an extent as the Benjamin House. The shape of the house is reminiscent of an Italian "palazzo" and its owners over time, like the builders of the "palazzo", have been rich, influential and art-loving. This large mansion is essentially a palace.
The house was built in 1876 for the wealthy merchant Pfäb family according to a project by Berlin architects. The Pfäbs at that time, among other things, owned the Central Market Speakers Complex and the Dannenstern House. Over time, luck turned away from the family and in 1928 the Pfäbs could no longer maintain the house. The house was sold to the Benjamiņi family, later - in 1939 the Pfäbs repatriated to Germany.
The house was purchased from the Pfäbs by Antons and Emilija Benjamiņi - the most influential people in Latvia at that time, owners of a mass media empire. The house became more magnificent during the Benjamiņi period, and by 1930 it was rebuilt according to a project by E. Laube. Outstanding works of art ended up here, popular artists performed in the salon of the Benjamiņi House.
As there started Soviet occupation, Benjamins family fell into disfavour to the new power. Emilija was exiled to Soberia and died from hunger there soon. The house was natonalised and in 1945 there started to operate the Union of Writers, Composers and Artists. After some time this union united freethinkers under occupation regime (of course - open expression of their attitude was impossible), there often took place public events.
In 1990ies the house was inherited by posterity of Benjamins. In 2006 the building was restored and there was opened hotel "Europa Royale".

The green-and-black poison dart frog (Dendrobates auratus), also known as the green-and-black poison arrow frog and green poison frog is a brightly-colored member of the order Anura native to southern CentraI America and Colombia. It is one of the most variably colored species of poison dart frogs, and is of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The green-and-black poison dart frog has the typical appearance of the members of its family; males average 0.75 in (1.9 cm) in snout–vent length, while females are slightly larger.
The green-and-black poison dart frog is one of the most variable of all poison frogs in color and pattern. This variation is to some extent individual but also depends heavily on exact location. Despite the name green-and-black poison dart frog, some variants have no green or black.
The green-and-black poison dart frog is found in humid lowland and submontane forests in southeastern Nicaragua on the Atlantic slope, eastern Costa Rica on the Atlantic slope and in the southwest on the Pacific slope, widely in Panama, and into far northwestern Colombia in the Chocó Department.
The green-and-black poison dart frog, while not the most toxic poison dart frog, is still a highly toxic animal. The very small amount of poison the frog possesses is enough to make a human heart stop beating. The green-and-black poison dart frog, as with all poison dart frogs, loses its toxicity in captivity due to a change in diet. This has led some scientists to believe that the green-and-black poison frog takes its poison from the mites, springtails, ants and other insects (such as beetles and flies) on which it feeds. – Wikipedia

I'm somebody I used to be. Part of the mystic. Unfocused to some extent. Random to mystery. Late for anything you want to do. Or maybe not. Once. Sometimes s/m-ad. Standing on a stage mostly. Wrapped in a number of bizarre layers. Always involved and forever alone. Alive at login (I try not to miss it. I swear). I had a dream. Phenomenal. Then I woke up. Terrible. Then I see black. Yeah. Abra Cadaver. Unconsciously and endlessly here. Or maybe not quite so. I can't see you. If I see you, I'll never leave you. Maybe I'll talk to you. Or maybe not. I dunno anymore. But I have a lot of wishes. No, impossible. I sometimes act like a Demo. Other times I have a Lucky Strike. No, not the cigarettes, I'm thinking. But sometimes thoughts grow into pain. And it hurts. Unfailingly. A bit obscene. When I feel like it. Or rigorously shy. I throw words at the world to make it stop. I have an interest. Microscopic. And emotions. And a syndrome. But I don't have skin unless you touch me.

La Cascada,
El parc de la Ciutadella,
Barcelona,
España
El Parc de la Ciutadella fue durante muchos años el único parque de la ciudad de Barcelona. Construido en los antiguos terrenos de la fortaleza de la ciudad a imagen y semejanza del Jardín del Luxemburgo de París.
Está situado en el barrio de Ciutat Vella, en el triángulo comprendido entre la Estación de Francia, el Arco de Triunfo y la Villa Olímpica, entre el paseo Pujades, el paseo Picasso y la calle Wellington. Dispone de diez accesos y tiene una extensión de 17,42 hectáreas.
En el parque se ubican, además de la sede actual del Parlamento de Cataluña, el Zoo de la ciudad. algunos museos, un lago y una gran fuente diseñada por Josep Fontserè en la que, seguramente, colaboró un joven estudiante llamado Antoni Gaudi que, por aquel entonces, trabajaba en su estudio.
Es una de las zonas más populares y concurridas de la ciudad y los barceloneses lo utilizan para pasear, ir en bicileta o practicar deportes: running, jogging, etc...
Con motivo de la Exposición Universal de 1888, el por entonces alcalde de la ciudad, Francesc Rius i Taulet encargó la urbanización del parque a Josep Fontserè, en los antiguos terrenos de la fortaleza de la ciudad a imagen y semejanza del Jardín del Luxemburgo de París.
Fontserè proyectó unos amplios jardines para esparcimiento de los ciudadanos, bajo el lema «los jardines son a las ciudades lo que los pulmones al cuerpo humano». Contó, además, con la colaboración del joven Antoni Gaudí, que intervino en el proyecto de la Cascada Monumental, uno de los puntos neurálgicos del parque. Gaudí realizó el proyecto hidráulico y diseñó una gruta artificial debajo de la Cascada.
El monumento destaca por su profusión escultórica, en la que intervinieron varios de los mejores escultores del momento: destaca el grupo escultórico en hierro forjado de La Cuadriga de la Aurora, es obra de Rossend Nobas; el nacimiento de Venus, de Venanci Vallmitjana; el frontón es obra de Francesc Pagès i Serratosa. Otras esculturas son: Anfítrite, de Josep Gamot; Neptuno y Leda, de Manel Fuxà; y Dánae, de Joan Flotats. Asimismo, Rafael Atché realizó los cuatro grifos que expulsan agua por la boca, en la parte inferior del monumento.

The Ciutadella Park is a park in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Catalonia. After its establishment during the mid-19th century, it was for decades the only green area in the city, and hitherto of the most popular. It is located at the northeastern edge of the old town, and hosts within its 70 acres (280,000 m2) the city's substantial zoo, the Parliament of Catalonia, a lake, some museums, and a fountain of considerable size designed by Josep Fontserè (with perhaps some attributions of the young student Antoni Gaudí, who at this time worked at Fontserès office). It is characterized by being a very busy place, crowded with tourists, and locals, who are usually going for a walk or taking their children to the special section for kids found near the upper margin of the park. This park is optimal for sports, like for example boating in the lake, cycling (both boat and bicycle can be hired), or jogging.
The Cascada (waterfall or cascade in Spanish) is located at the northern corner of the park opposite to the lake. It was first inaugurated in 1881 without sculptures or any meticulous details, and was thereby criticized by the press, after which this triumphal arch was thoroughly amended by the addition of a fountain and some minor attributes, which required six years of construction from 1882 to 1888, and was thenceforth put on display at the Universal Exhibition, and hitherto not been redesigned. It was erected by Josep Fontsére and to a small extent by Antoni Gaudí, who at that time was still an unknown student of architecture. Fontsére aimed to loosely make it bear resemblance to the Trevi Fountain of Rome.
Two enormous pincers of gigantic crabs serve as stairs to access a small podium located in the centre of the monument. In front of it a sculpture (designed by Venanci Vallmitjana) of Venus standing on an open clam was placed. The whole cascade is divided in two levels. From the podium on a path leads to the Feminine Sculpture and to the northeastern corner of the park, and upon following the route down the stairs the fountain's pond is rounded and the southern tip of the artifact is reached.

Despite appearances, the cockpit section of this aircraft was constructed largely of wood! During WW2, the de Havilland company devised methods of using plywood and balsa to form light and strong structures suitable for aircraft manufacture, the most famous example being the Mosquito. After the war, as the company workforce still had the skills to work with wood they continued using it (at least to some extent) in the earliest jet aircraft. Early jet engines lost power through the use of long jet pipes, so for the dH Vampire family of designs, the tail plane was extended out on booms either side of the exhaust. Other early jet aircraft designs of the era split the exhaust laterally and exited it just behind the wings on either side, continuing the fuselage back to carry the tailplane (eg the Hawker Sea Hawk). An advantage of jets was that the high ground clearance for large propellers was no longer needed, meaning the undercarriage legs could be shortened, reducing weight and making servicing easier. The pilot's forward visibility was greatly improved by the use of tricycle undercarriage making ground handling much safer.
Vampires first flew in 1943, entered service in 1945 and were finally retired from the RAF in 1955. Over 3,000 of various marks were built, serving in the air forces of more than a dozen countries.
