This photo shows a part of the standing stones and doesn't cover the whole site.
The Calanais Standing Stones are an extraordinary cross-shaped setting of stones erected 5,000 years ago. They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years.
We don’t know why the standing stones at Calanais were erected, but our best guess is that it was a kind of astronomical observatory.
Patrick Ashmore, who excavated at Calanais in the early 1980s writes: ‘The most attractive explanation… is that every 18.6 years, the moon skims especially low over the southern hills. It seems to dance along them, like a great god visiting the earth. Knowledge and prediction of this heavenly event gave earthly authority to those who watched the skies.’

Birds of prey are fascinating and majestic animals. They can generally be defined as birds that feed on animals that they catch alive. Representatives of these two orders can be found almost everywhere in the world. Although these groups are distantly related, the behavioural and anatomical characteristics they share appear to be mainly the result of parallel evolution.
I really like this sim created by Ary Lukesl
It is tranquil and beautiful.
It truly makes me calm.
Worth a visit! Highly recommend!

Je ne suis ici qu'une ombre transparente, une sorte de copie fragile, un reflet provisoire...

It was fascinating watching these Buzzards standing in line to feed on this dead Pheasant.The most dominant birds were always first in line whilst the smaller.presumably younger birds, would stand back and wait their turn to feed.

Scegliete voiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Always fascinating to see these falcons "hover" in the air in search of prey.
Cheers!

A fascinating green river in Slovenia, the Soča, it is attracting many visitors every year. The water is so clear that this kayaker seems to float on it.
Captured during Summer 2020
This photograph was taken from the side of a cascading water feature in the garden near to Traders Hotel overlooking Petronas Twin Towers and surrounding buildings.
There was a heavy downpour in the afternoon, and the shapes of the evening clouds provided interesting background to the lit Twin Towers, Four Seasons Hotel and other buildings. The fascinating reflections in the foreground complemented the colourful lights.
Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday!
This is a spider wasp with a Wolf spider. I have not been able to identify what type of spider wasp it is, apparently there are many different types. Here in southern Arizona we have one by the name of Tarantula Wasp, which preys on Tarantulas. They are much larger and have orange wings. The wasp in the photo has stung this spider. When I came across them the wasp was dragging the spider across the ground, heading for her nest. The horrifying part of this story is, the venom of the wasp does not kill the spider, it paralyzes it. After stinging and paralyzing the spider, the wasp drags it to its nest where it lays eggs inside the spider. When the wasp larva hatch inside the spider, they eat it alive. I took this photo at Gilbert Water Ranch in Gilbert Arizona.
Had 3 beautiful windless days in Lodi where so many people go to view these amazing Sandhill Cranes. I found a deeply plowed divot in this cornfield where these beautiful birds allow me to sit and watch them as they leisurely grazed and at times would go into their 'fascinating mating dances'.
Fascinating birds these Western Marsh Harriers

Pink Waxcaps or Hygrcybe Calyptriformis are a beautiful and unusual sight. They will appear in undisturbed grasslands either singular or with just two or three together. Taken on Dartmoor by the side of a stream.
Snakes - fascinating animals with a worse reputation than they deserve. Highly sensitive, perfect hunters, with a very own beauty. It's always a question of perspective.
