A resident barbet endemic to South Asia, often heard rather than seen. They have a very loud call heard above everything else in the forests.

This one was shot in a forest overlooking a temple on the edge of a hill. There were maybe 5-6 of these around and the calls filled up the air. Maybe the loudest one is the winner, so this one was checking it out. It surveyed the area briefly and then started to call. The perches were fantastic that day and since the summer has started, the light was excellent too giving lovely photographic opportunities.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

Requesting suggestions for a desktop PC. Tried lots of different ones...so many are geared for the gamer and not so much towards the photographer. Appreciate your feedback.

Kleiner Feuerfalter (Lycaena Phaeas)

Lycaena phlaeas, the small copper, American copper, or common copper, is a butterfly of the Lycaenids or gossamer-winged butterfly family. According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek phlego, "to burn up" or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish".

A small and shy resident goose of the Indian subcontinent, found throughout the year in freshwater lakes and ponds. They are social birds and always seen in groups of 4 to 6 or more.

The birds are visibly smaller than the other ducks such as Whistling teals and the Spot Billed Ducks found in our region. I love to shoot them in flight, but they fly fast and are quite wary of humans.

Shot them near a lake full of Jacana's and Coots. These goose stayed for a while and then flew away far from human activity..

Many thanks for all your views, likes and feedback. Much appreciated.

The biggest Kingfisher found in South India and probably the 2nd biggest in the country. A resident bird of the subcontinent and found in a variety of forest / thick woody areas adjacent to lakes, small rivers and possibly coastal areas.

This was a resident in the area we visited and there are maybe 2-3 of them in that area. We sighted only one of them which already started its hunt for the day. The bird feeds on fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and even small young birds. It didn't spend much time and within a few minutes left for the other side of the forest.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey

Selma Lagerlöf

The novel was originally written as a reading book in Swedish geography and was included in the series Reading Books for Sweden's childhood schools. It's about Nils Holgersson, a boy who enchanted into a leprechaun because he was lazy and angry with the animals and who traveled across Sweden through a tame goose. Although it was thought to be a book of reading in Swedish geography, the book has been translated into many languages. The book was the Swedish children's book that, until Astrid Lindgren's great success, Pippi Longstocking was translated into most languages, over 60.

A resident bird in the subcontinent found throughout the year in grasslands and open countryside with brown grass. The bird prefers red soil / sandy areas and camouflages itself so well that its tough to sight many times. Often we see it taking off suddenly right from underneath our feet - and its a very fast flier.

These are insectivores and the size of a rock pigeon always found in flocks of 5-6 and more - sometimes 30-40 as well. Sightings are always prized by birds and photographers.

On this day, we found more than 5 families including several chicks and couple of nests / eggs in the grasslands. They hid openly in grass near a pile of brown rocks. The birds will just sit down in the brown grass and will blend so well with their naturally camouflaged pattern. Add to that, these birds are very challenging to shoot in flight due to their high speed.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

What would fall be without a trip to the state fair? A big thanks to all of the wonderful folks who count me as a contact, visit my photostream, comment and fave, but with whom I am unable to reciprocate (1,200 is way too many for me to manage!). I appreciate your visits and feedback more than you know.

A large non brood parasitic cuckoo endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. The bird is pretty large - maybe 40-45 cms and is quite famous for its beauty. This is also known as "Lipstick bird" for its reddish beak and beautiful eyelashes.

It habitat is the dry scrub land, forest edges and is often sighted on the ground hunting for insects. The birds are quite shy and behaviours are hard to predict - so it is tough to sight them at the same location again and again.

I was looking for a Common Cuckoo that was sighted in a hilly area, but after an hour didn't find it. Just then this Sirkeer Malkoha landed on the trees on the hill slope and slowed moved up to the edge. There in the sunlight, it preened, spread its wings for almost 30+ mins while I walked around it looking for an unobstructed view. The light was great and delighted at the quality shots!

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

So as I expected, working with shelter dogs to set up a flash and having a dog stay in a good position relative to the flash is a challenge. In the time it takes to get one or two good shots using the flash, I can bang off a number of dogs without the flash and using a fast lens.

What do you think? Is it worth the effort with flash as compared to not using flash?

Good, honest feedback much appreciated!!

I know Barn Owls screech and it's the Tawny owl that Twit twoo's but it was the only title I could think of LOL

I put up a Barn Owl nesting box in a big Oak tree not 100 yards behind my house. Last year I had success and Mum and Dad fledged three young. These are two young Barn owls (you can tell by the last bit of fluff on the tummy, not taken from behind my house, but not to far away at all.

I went across the field last night and saw a Barn Owl on the front of my box, the first of this year !!!!!!

I very rarely put the 2x extender on the 600mm, but I was super impressed with the quality...... Note to self, do it more often !!

Thanks to everyone that gave their opinion on my Bluebell image (positive or negative) I really appreciated the feedback xx

To get this effect you need to be willing to get out into the deeper and faster moving incoming waves with the camera very low to the water. It's like playing chicken with the ocean.

Thanks for the faves and the comments. While I can't respond to every comment posted, I read and appreciate all of the suggestions and feedback. I do photography for your enjoyment, and always look to improve the quality and experience.

...I was looking through some archive photos and noticed this human shaped shadow in the clouds and sun rays looming over the telecom tower. Otherwise a boring over-exposed shot, so I had to play around with it:)

Figure everyone else has one... So i might as well put one up

Jjust a little experiment ;)

Oslo, Norway. Feedback/critique is very welcome, as I am trying to learn more about landscape photography techniques (in camera and post processing). So please feel free to let me know what you think. This one is a blend of two exposures. I used a Lee Big Stopper for the water and the sky. Thank you very much for viewing!

Feedback, comments and questions are more than welcome :-)

So I'm building this diorama (hopefully for bbtb 2017) and I wanted to do something a little more out of my element, so I decided to do mostly structures. However, I am running into problems making them look like more than just a bunch of bricks stacked on top of one another. I am happy with one or two of the buildings but the others are just looking kind of boring. Also, the final product will of course be in the midst of a battle from the second world war, so I need some advice on how to make some good bombed out buildings. I have tried this in the past and I am just not to happy with my results so any feedback is greatly appreciated! Oh also the picture is just an idea for a building I had, let me know what you think. Happy building!

Tamarack Lake, Crawford County, PA. This sparrow left the reeds periodically to belt out its song on a recent late afternoon. Thanks for looking and any feedback.

According to the season birders this is the second time this rare native bird appeared in many years. Lucky I managed to capture a shot. He was up on the canopy of this 60 foot tree . Had to use digital zoom of the 300f4/OM1: 1200mm

A big thank you to all Flickr friends for your visits.

Thanking you in advanced for all your kind feedback & favourites.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Keeping Smiling & Happy!

Günter Müller / Hans Joachim Irmler / A23H

There are two more unreleased live recording special mixes of Taste Tribes, one at Faust-Studio and one by Günter Müller in the archives.

Subterranean Collectives: Taste Tribes and the Entelechy of Sound:

If 7k Oaks openly aligned itself with Joseph Beuys’ “social sculpture,” Taste Tribes may be seen as its more subterranean counterpart—less oriented to ecological symbolism and civic space, more attuned to the cryptic energies of the urban periphery, where graffiti marks the wall and sound marks the ear as parallel inscriptions of collective life. Both ensembles were founded by Alfred 23 Harth in 2007: 7k Oaks in Rome with Massimo Pupillo, Luca Venitucci, and Fabrizio Spera, and Taste Tribes with Hans-Joachim Irmler (Faust) and the Swiss electronic improviser Günter Müller, later joined by Wolfgang Seidel (Eruption). Their emergence corresponded to a moment when Harth, after years in Asia and collaborations in Japan, returned to re-situate himself within European avant-garde traditions—yet not simply to return but to reimagine them through dialogue across generations and geographies.

The very name Taste Tribes emphasizes plurality, nomadism, and the refusal of hierarchy. “Tribes” designates both solidarity and fragmentation—temporary affiliations forged in ritual rather than fixed institutions. Their covers, emblazoned with four graffiti-like figures across both the 2008 and 2023 releases, act as surrogate signatures. Not portraits in any conventional sense, these glyphs instead function as visual analogues of alter-egos, painted marks that echo the very logic of improvised sound: provisional identities traced against a mutable background. Just as graffiti asserts a presence in anonymous public space, the Taste Tribes inscriptions claim the space of sound as a site of ephemeral authorship—collective, corrosive, and resistant to commodification.

Where 7k Oaks invokes Beuys explicitly—through its name, its ecologically charged dedications, and even track titles like Soziale Plastik—Taste Tribes embodies a more veiled articulation of the Goethean–Steinerian–Beuysian lineage. Goethe’s concept of entelechy described the inner formative principle by which the plant “makes itself out of itself”—an organic self-unfolding irreducible to mechanical repetition. Steiner, taking Goethe as the “Copernicus and Kepler of the organic world,” emphasized that Goethe had discovered the hidden laws of living form, just as astronomers had charted the laws of the cosmos. Beuys, inheriting this current of thought, transposed it into the social domain: art, like life, was no longer an object but a vital process; every human action could become sculpture, a force within the living organism of society.

It is precisely at this nexus that Taste Tribes situates itself, though in sound rather than in visual or ecological form. Their improvisations are not “pieces” but processes of emergence, sonic entelechies that unfold from within rather than being imposed from without. Noise-fields, electronic scatterings, the guttural breath of Harth’s reeds, the drone and churn of Irmler’s organ, the digitized flicker of Müller’s electronics—each gesture seems to contain the seed of its own self-determination. Improvisation here is not chaos but a morphology, akin to Goethe’s archetypal leaf, in which variation is the manifestation of a deeper, lawful principle.

In this light, the graffiti-figures that adorn their albums are more than decoration. They may be understood as glyphs of entelechy—graphic correlates to the music’s organic unfolding. Just as Beuys’ “7000 Oaks” made visible the slow work of transformation in the city’s ecological and social landscape, Taste Tribes inscribes transformation sonically: an acoustical “urban forest” grown from noise, feedback, and communal breath. If 7k Oaks plants the tree, Taste Tribes tags the wall—both reimagining art’s place in lived space, one through ecological grafting, the other through acoustic insurgency.

Ultimately, Taste Tribes challenges the listener to hear improvisation not as arbitrary play but as a social and organic law of becoming. Their soundworld exemplifies how the avant-garde, in the wake of Goethe, Steiner, and Beuys, continues to insist on creativity as an irreducible vitality: anarchic yet ordered, ephemeral yet archetypal. By foregrounding ritual over authorship, graffiti-mark over signature, process over object, Taste Tribes demonstrates that in the realm of sound as in life, the most radical art is not constructed—it grows.
