A Sarus Crane. The tallest of flying birds.
IUCN status: This crane is listed as Vulnerable because it is suspected to have suffered a rapid population decline, which is projected to continue, as a result of widespread reductions in the extent and quality of its wetland habitats, exploitation and the effects of pollutants.

And here we can see the full extent of the length of the new vehicle. Our 'standard' Gemini's are more than 11 metres, the latest fleet group of former London buses are a more than 10 metres, but keep going here right on to more than 13 metres long!
Nowhere else in Britain will have buses this length which may mean less over-crowding, but a few tight bends for the drivers.
Richard Hall, Managing Director, says,"We are pleased to announce our order and partnership with Alexander Dennis and Volvo for the production of 42 Euro 6 vehicles for our city bus fleet.
These vehicles will enhance our current fleet in line with our investment BUS2020 strategy and ensure that we continue to play our part to improve air quality across the city and Scotland whilst meeting our customers’expectations".
Along side the Amtrac tracks in Roanoke Virginia . its visible from the tracks if you're walking them but not to this extent. For life of me I couldn't figure out exactly what its purpose is but my best guess would be cement. It is without a doubt a fascinating structure to photograph.
This was my first real outing with a Nikkor-SC 55mm f1.2 made in 1974, this I shot at f4 and the way it renders realism, depth and radius to the point of feeling you could reach in to the photo really surprised me. Its really remarkable. Subject isolation and its ability to cut out of the background is remarkable too, even better than the 85mm 1.4 ais and the 50 mm 1.2 ais at the same apertures.
Zoom in on this and roll around a bit and you'll see. Best viewed on a monitor. Its not been manipulated in any way, just my usual conversion to black and white. The lens has easily repeated this result in other photos too from the same day and other days as well.
Sharpness from f2 on is on par @2 with the 50mm F1.2 ais and even more even as you tighten aperture. Sharpness against the 85 for both is no comp, the 85 wins easily. But this lens has rendering that beats both hands down.
If you have been thinking about picking one up don't hesitate. Go for it. You'll be more than thrilled with it.
No photoshop or AI ..

Wildlife photography is to a large extent about opportunities, those you seize, those you miss, those you don't even see.... Red-winged blackbirds for sure are offering plenty of opportunities on Vancouver Island for a large portion of the year. It is probably one of the first bird I photographed when I started wildlife photography a few years ago. It is ever since, probably the bird I photograph the most each year. Yet, I feel that there is always a better picture of a red-winged blackbird which needs to be taken. The temptation was great to present a "year-end exhibit" of all those red-winged blackbird pictures I have taken this year. You will be glad I refrained from it. Here are a few I like.
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere, which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. Nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the homosphere, Latin and common. Genus types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adoption of Luke Howard's nomenclature that was formally proposed in 1802. It became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms which can be further divided or classified into altitude levels to derive ten basic genera. The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. Low-level clouds do not have any altitude-related prefixes. However mid-level stratiform and stratocumuliform types are given the prefix alto- while high-level variants of these same two forms carry the prefix cirro-. Genus types with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one level do not carry any altitude related prefixes. They are classified formally as low- or mid-level depending on the altitude at which each initially forms, and are also more informally characterized as multi-level or vertical. Most of the ten genera derived by this method of classification can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties. Very low stratiform clouds that extend down to the Earth's surface are given the common names fog and mist, but have no Latin names. 64921
The far-famed valley came suddenly into view throughout almost its whole extent: the noble walls, sculptured into endless variety of domes and gables, spires and battlements and plain mural precipices, all a-tremble with the thunder tones of the falling water. The level bottom seemed to be dressed like a garden, sunny meadows here and there and groves of pine and oak, the river of Mercy sweeping in majesty through the midst of them and flashing back the sunbeams. --John Muir

Storm Cloud Night Before Storm Katie On Easter Sunday.
Photo taken from Brooklands view in Seacroft, Leeds 14.
Date of impact 28 March
Maximum wind gust 106 mph (171 km/h)
The Needles Old Battery, Isle of Wight
Power outages 100,000
Katie, the eleventh storm of the season, was named by the Met Office on 25 March. During the first half of 28 March strong winds were experienced widely across southern England with coastal gusts of 70-80 mph and inland gusts of 50-70 mph in many places. The peak gust of 106 mph was recorded at the exposed site of The Needles Old Battery. Impacts were widespread across southern England including trees felled, wall, fence and roof damage, scaffolding collapses, bridge closures, flights, ferries and train cancellations and power outages
Hazards
Lightning; these clouds produce lightning.
Wind; these clouds may produce strong winds especially during a downburst
Hail; these clouds can sometimes produce hail
More severe storms; The Cumulonimbus Calvus can further grow larger if the updraft is strong. it can form into a cumulonimbus incus, and bring more severe storms.
Cumulonimbus calvus is a moderately tall cumulonimbus cloud which is capable of precipitation, but has not yet reached the tropopause, which is the height of stratospheric stability where it forms into a Cumulonimbus Capillatus (fibrous-top) or cumulonimbus incus (anvil-top). Cumulonimbus calvus clouds develop from cumulus congestus, and its further development under auspicious conditions will result in cumulonimbus incus.
This cloud consists mainly of water droplets. By definition of cumulonimbus cloud, at its top water droplets are transformed into ice crystals, but for cumulonimbus calvus content of ice crystals is small and freezing is in early stage, so cloud top still looks round and puffy.
Cumulonimbus calvus is characterized by distinctive (between other types of cumulonimbus cloud) rounded shape and relatively sharp edges of its top area, unlike cumulonimbus incus or cumulonimbus capillatus, which have cirriform tops. Developing cumulonimbus calvus loses sharp outlines of the top as more water droplets transform into ice crystals. Strong updrafts may form pileus or thin vertical stripes protruding upwards out of the cloud. When upper part of the cloud freezes to greater extent and clearly visible cirriforms appears, cumulonimbus calvus turns into another species of cumulonimbus.
Cumulonimbus calvus arcus is a sub-type of cumulonimbus calvus, which has arcus cloud ahead of cloud's front.
Species
cumulonimbus calvus: cloud with puffy top, similar to cumulus congestus which it develops from; under the correct conditions in can become a cumulonimbus capillatus.
cumulonimbus capillatus : cloud with cirrus-like, fibrous-edged top.

Oscillating back and forth dramatically between arrogance and a guilty conscience, guilt is the hidden weakness inadequately masked by arrogance.
I am discovering the extent of my own vanity and my own insecurity.
Together they combine to form the nourishment for my obsession. They are just different aspects of the same thing. They are the complementary opposites which chemically unite to form a ‘love gasoline’. They are also manufactured by the disrobing Bride to create and satisfy her own needs. They meet and deny each other on the jaded plains of Onan. They combine not through acceptance of each other but blindly and desperately. They exhaustively pretend they have never met before, but their meeting is as constant as their inability to acknowledge each other. A confrontation is absolutely essential. To continue, insecurity must be sufficiently overcome (not ignored), to give the vanity of opinion free rein.
There is an exposition. I am not writing about Bachelor Machines. I am attempting to construct one.
“THE BACHELOR GRINDS HIS, CHOCOLATE HIMSELF"
Duchamp.
Bachelor: Unmarried man; (hist.) young knight serving under another’s banner.
Machine: 1. Apparatus for applying mechanical power, having several parts each with definite function. 2. Person who acts mechanically and without intelligence or with unfailing regularity. 3. Instrument that transmits force or directs its application.
Already these dictionary definitions begin to suggest hitherto unconsidered possibilities. There initially seems to be the germ of an idea which could perhaps be summed up as relentless and mindless solitary servitude. However as with every word combination the fecundity of this union goes far beyond what a mere joint definition might suggest.
The extent of the grotty August weather is evident in this shot of HMS St. Albans. In the background is Type 45 destroyer HMS Defender.
Antarctica—the continent at the southernmost reach of the planet—is fringed by cold, often frozen waters of the Southern Ocean. The extent of sea ice around the continent typically reaches a peak in September and a minimum in February. The photograph above shows Antarctic sea ice on November 5, 2014, during the annual cycle of melt.
The image was acquired by the Digital Mapping System (DMS), a digital camera installed in the belly of research aircraft to capture images of terrain below. In this case, the system flew on the DC-8 during a flight as part of NASA’s Operation IceBridge.
Most of the view shows first-year sea ice in the Bellingshausen Sea, as it appeared from an altitude of 328 meters (1,076 feet). The block of ice on the right side of the image is older, thicker, and was once attached to the Antarctic Ice Sheet. By the time this image was acquired, however, the ice had broken away to form an iceberg. Given its close proximity to the ice sheet, this could have been a relatively new berg.

Adult female Hoodeds have variablity in the extent of their hood with some having hardly any evidence at all of a hood (perhaps a hint of black just in the sides of the crown) and some nearly resembling adult males like this one. Apparently the amount of black in the hood does NOT correlate with the age of the spring female. Notice despite the amount of black in her hood she has plenty of olive throughout it as well. She was hanging around a singing male who was undoubtedly trying to woo her. I was fortunate to get this image as she moved about the shadows in thick vegetation. Thanks for your visit!
Tennessee. 4/29/2019.
As a neat exercise in identifying warblers by song check out this 9 second video clip and see if you can identify the 3 warblers singing. I recorded it about a week earlier in this warbler rich Tennessee location.
This is Michelle. I knew about her before I knew her. I found her instagram account a long while ago and fell in love with her talent. This was about six months ago. It wasn't until recently that I met Kiaanna (from yesterday's post) and she then introduced me to Michelle. I tried my best to pretend I had no idea who she was except from what Kiaanna had told me.
In the short time we've known each other my perspective has changed so much. I used to see her as this perfect being, out taking incredible photos and living a life I could only dream of. Talking to her though, learning her as a person rather than an idol, I've come to respect her so much more. Knowing that she struggles, not only in creating an image she likes, but in daily things is something that had never crossed my mind. To know that she is as human as you or me and is still able to produce such talented work is something I admire to an extent which I can't describe with words. I'm glad to call her a friend.

We are living in times of great destruction of the world as we know it, earth changes, fires, floods, earthquakes.
Here alone in Australia we sit in horror at the extent of the fires rampage across the country. Unprecedented fires and weather in the history of our existence (well what is on record)
Whilst horrific - the earth we live on has always been full of cyclic changes.
Ancient cities have been discovered under the sea, we are naive to think that the world as we know it will remain the same.
What continents exist now may no longer exist. What coast line exists now is slowly being swallowed up by the ocean.
Volcanic eruptions are changing the face of the planet as are earthquakes - the list is long.
We cannot stop the force of Mother Nature. We live on a planet that has always endured such destruction.
We have pole shifts taking place - all kinds of catastrophic events happening across the Globe. We are but a spit in the ocean to the wide Galaxies that we know of. Yet we think we are precious in some way.
I cannot help but wonder why I was so drawn to create this "Black Winged Goddess" let alone give her the name of Black Winged Goddess. But I was drawn, my soul was pushing me for weeks with a "slight vision" of what I needed to create. It now makes total sense to me why I was so drawn to create The Black Winged Goddess, given the state of our world and humanity.
My soul as always when I listen guides me with powerful messages and reminds me to just 'be' to accept 'what is'.
We may not like the current state of our world but it is what it is and all we can do is stay strong within ourselves and hold the power of 'love' in our hearts despite seeing so much being played out on the planet.
Kali (Hindu) - was known as a deity of the Fearsome Demon destroying Goddess who represents death and rebirth - so her name means "Black One".
We can never truly comprehend or understand the power of mother nature - we have abused her for centuries, taken her for granted and she is a living breathing consciousness so powerful that we dare not go up against here.
In recent years we have seen the influence of the feminine energy on earth which for eons has been dominated by the male energy.
So it makes complete sense to me that we are witness to so much destruction on the planet.
We are witness to the destruction of our societies as we know it, breakdown of families, law, politics.
So much of humanity is at war with the 'system', the injustices, and the lack of balance within our society. The homeless, the abused, the forgotten souls, the mental health issues that seem to have become rampant, the rise of Corporate wealth while humanity is trapped in slavery. We have learnt nothing as a humanity over the past how many hundred years?
In order for rebirth, for new growth, a culling needs to take place - hence the energy of the Black Winged Goddess she is both the Destroyer and the Giver of New Life.
We have elected to be here at this time on the planet - despite the suffering we witness or endure - I know at a higher level it is absolutely necessary for real change to take place.
Our world is a very different place to the one we have known - and whilst we have believed we have had a safe and reasonable planet in which to live, the reality is much Evil has existed and people have been brainwashed to the point of being zombies. There has been so much suppression imposed upon humanity even to the extreme of vaccinations and fluoride to our water supply. All of these chemicals act as suppressants to our brain! It has been a deliberate agenda of the existing power on earth. Their agenda has always been to rule, control and suppress the populous.
Humanity is awakening and with this will be uproar, dis - ease, a culling if you like. It is time for humanity to step out of fear and into their true power which is within each and every one of us.
New growth, new beginnings but not before the dismantling of the old - it has to be this way.
These times we are living through were written in history.
So I have created "The Black Winged Goddess" she is available in different styles, inside a Dome with beautiful etched glass or stand alone. She will rotate or can be static.
She is available on MP in the Stand Alone version (rotating) or can be seen in world at my store.
I hope you enjoy and embrace 'The "Black Winged Goddess' and rather be in fear of her - understand she brings 'New Life" but first the old has to die for the new to be born.
How appropriate for a New Year of 2020 fast approaching.
Interestingly and unconsciously I created 4 of these Black Winged Goddesses.
The year 2020 equates to the number 4 in Numerology.
The #4 represents a Universal energy. (see below for a deeper understanding of the #4)
The # 2 - Is the most feminine and often underestimated when it comes to power and strength. She is always gentle, tactful, diplomatic, forgiving and understanding. She likes to keep peace and likes to avoid confrontation. # 2 is the survivor and extremely resilient force. Her shape looks as though she is bent back on a knee with head bowed in humility and service. However when enough pressure is applied to the # 2 energy. Some would perceive her as weak and powerless due to this servitude shape. However never underestimate the power behind #2 because she represents the power (double) #1 who is the all powerful warrior who will shake and destroy no matter what. So #2 brings the balance but never underestimate the power of 2 Energy.
The #4 Energy in more detail
The 4 is without a doubt masculine, reflecting strength and stability. His chief characteristics are dependability, productivity, punctuality and obedience. He is trustworthy, patient, conventional and a traditionalist.
Tend to be rule followers. 4 is the area of sciences, upholding the law (such as Government and the military). The #4 represents Disciplined, systematic, Dependable, Strong. Loyal
Four is the basis of all solid objects. Four points are used in constructing the simplest solid and thus four is the number symbolizing the way of construction. In many religions, four is seen as the number for earth, and representing the four elements, Air Earth, Water and Fire.
At its extreme 4's can tend to overreact to violence.
So 2020 seems to have more challenges ahead and I suspect we will be seeing more uprising across the planet (#2 energy) with totalitarianism (#4 energy) being played out like never before. Perhaps more of what the world has witnessed in Hong Kong this year.
It is as if the two energies Masculine & Feminine are battling against one another. But at the same time I cannot help but feel and acknowledge UNITY - and this is what I will remain focused upon during the year ahead. We must stand united. We are after all 'one humanity'
We are without doubt living in very challenging times.
May peace be with you!

A collage of two images of the Moon and Venus taken minutes apart on April 28, 2020, to show the similarity in their phases this night, April 28, 2020. Both images were shot with the same focal length and camera and so are identical in image scale, to compare their apparent sizes. I have not enlarged Venus, but I have put a frame around it to emphasize that its image has been layered in as a composite.
The Moon was a 5.6-day-old waxing crescent this night, 32% illuminated.. Venus was at its greatest brilliancy, or Greatest Illuminated Extent, with a disk 38 arc seconds across and 27% illuminated, so slightly less.. But the Moon was closer in phase to Venus this night than it would have been the night before with a 5-day Moon. The Moon’s disk appears about 50 times larger than Venus’s.
Just to be clear — Venus was not this close to the Moon! I layered in the image of Venus taken after the Moon image, with both set in the deep blue evening twilight. Venus and the Moon were actually some 30° apart in the sky. But the composite illustrates their mutual phases and disk sizes.
Taken with the 130mm Astro-Physics refractor with a 2X Barlow lens for an effective focal length of 1600mm and with the Canon 60Da APS-sensor camera. The Moon image is the full frame of the sensor, uncropped. Both images are single short exposures at ISO 100.
Floodlights at Sanky Tank, Sadashivanagar, Bengaluru. Do we need to illuminate to such an extent. Certainly it will disturb the natural fauna.

First impressions from Kengo Kuma’s Dundee V&A. Had a few hours in Dundee before Storm Eunice arrived. Making sense of the building from walking round with camera and tripod in tow. Great fun as the building responds very well to photography; its gradations and oscillations of form capturing the full extent of a day’s light from the bright highlights and rays of sunshine, to the overcast yet illuminating uniformity of a typical Scottish day.
Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be distinguished by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base. Damselflies are also usually smaller than dragonflies and weaker fliers in comparison, and their eyes are separated.
The Manchester Town Hall Extension features a steeply pitched roof made of slate from the same Cumbrian quarry as the original town hall building. The structure is also noted for its elaborate use of leadwork, which adorns various ridges, pinnacles, and spires.
Key characteristics of the roof and roofline include:
Material: The roof is primarily covered in more than 100,000 hand-split and trimmed slate tiles. Traditional, high-quality sandcast lead has been used for the detailed sections, known for its durability and authentic appearance.
Design: The design is Gothic in character, with a typically steeply pitched profile. The roofline includes decorative features like dormer windows with hipped roofs, and the gable ends feature stair-turrets.
Features: The roofline is enhanced by 37 enormous chimney stacks, which have been repaired and reconstructed using matching sandstone. It also features decorative cast-iron work, known as brattishing, which has been restored and repainted in the architect's original burgundy red colour.
Modernisation: During recent major restoration work as part of the "Our Town Hall" project, the gutters were redesigned and enlarged to handle increased rainfall associated with climate change, helping to future-proof the historic building.
Visibility: The historic roofline has recently become visible again as temporary coverings were removed, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing restoration project.
The building, designed by architect Emanuel Vincent Harris, was completed in 1938 and is a Grade II* listed building.
Venus as a morning star and at its greatest brilliancy (or illuminated extent) for this dawn apparition, shining at magnitude -4.9 in the dawn twilight. The star Spica is to the right of Venus. Taken from home on November 30, 2018, the day before the official day of greatest brightness. The waning crescent Moon off camera higher in the sky provides the illumination and the sparkles in the snow.
This is a stack of 4 x 10 second exposures for the ground to smooth noise and one 10-second exposure for the sky, all with the Nikon D750 at ISO 800 and Sigma 24mm Art lens at f/2.8. Orton glow effects added to the sky and ground with Luminar and Nik Collection effects. Diffraction spikes on Venus added with Astronomy Tools for artistic effect.

The precise extent of the once wooded area from which Southwood in the town of Ramsgate takes its name is uncertain. Today, Southwood has much clearer definition in the local inhabitant's mental map as a predominantly residential area and as the home ground of Ramsgate football. It equates with the area of the former Southwood Farm and of Southwood House. Southwood's large, Victorian water tower is also one of Ramsgate's distinctive and prominent landmarks. The Southwood neighbourhood occupies an area of about half a square kilometre, and consists of predominantly late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses. It sits on elevated ground one kilometre to the west of Ramsgate town centre and behind the more prestigious houses, cliff-top promenades, and greens of the West Cliff area.
The Tower was built in 1887 and was made a grade II listed building in 1988, now converted into flats. I can see the back of this building from anywhere in the front of the house.,
Apparently my house was lot 3 when the farm was sold and was used as a brickfield until the row of houses were built in 1902. A brickfield is a common location name in southeast England. Its name derives from a field where the topsoil was removed and the clay beneath was stripped, and mixed with chalk and ash to create bricks, we now have topsoil and chalk so I suppose all the clay was used up!
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
I had hoped that this Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus) might be the rarer Bicknell's Thrush (C. bicknelli) based on the extent of yellow on the lower bill.
Thanks to all of you for commenting on which species I have.
Bottomline is that the separation of these two species will continue to evade me.

The extent of the squalid conditions in the Sassi only came to international attention when writer Carlo Levi was exiled by Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime to a town close to Matera in 1935. In his book, Christ Stopped at Eboli, published in 1945, Levi described the horror he witnessed – the paltry furniture, children either naked or in rags, bodies ravaged by disease – and concluded: “I have never seen in all my life such a picture of poverty.”
It took a visit in 1950 from the Italian prime minister Alcide De Gasperi, who lambasted the slums as “a national disgrace”, to propel the government to take drastic steps that set in motion a chain of events which was to have a swift and dramatic impact on the city and peoples’ lives.
With money pouring in from the postwar Marshall plan, Gasperi put together what was initially considered an ill-conceived plan to evacuate all the inhabitants and move them to newly built homes in the outer areas of the Sassi. However, many residents struggled to adapt to their new homes – it was the first time many had seen water running from a tap, let alone a boiler.
Never knew the extent of my olympus epl5 would go all the way up to 1 sec w/o a tripod. Had a very stable lean on a steel railing, held my breath for 3 secs while set for a 2 sec timer. The in-body stabilizer worked quite well. This is considering a 3 axis feature stabilizer, i believe epl5 has. What more for the 5 axis feature of the OMD series.
