Schleiereule (Tyto alba) - White barn owl
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleiereule
Die Schleiereule (Tyto alba) ist eine Vogelart aus der Ordnung der Eulen (Strigiformes) und der Familie der Schleiereulen (Tytonidae). Die Schleiereule ist eine sehr helle, langbeinige Eule, die keine Federohren aufweist. Zu ihren auffälligsten Erkennungsmerkmalen gehören das herzförmige Gesicht sowie die verhältnismäßig kleinen, schwarzen Augen. Sie ist nachtaktiv und am Tage nur an ihren Ruheplätzen sowie am Brutplatz zu beobachten.
Die Schleiereule kommt als Brutvogel in vielen Regionen der Welt vor. Sie fehlt in der Tundra, den tropischen Regenwäldern sowie großen Teilen Asiens und in den Wüsten. In Mitteleuropa ist sie ein verbreiteter und häufiger Brutvogel, der vor allem in baumarmen Siedlungsgebieten im Tiefland vorkommt.
Beschreibung
Die 33–35 Zentimeter lange, hell gefärbte, langflügelige und langbeinige Eule erreicht eine Flügelspannweite von 85 bis zu 95 Zentimeter und hat recht kurze Schwanzfedern. Männchen und Weibchen ähneln einander sehr, Weibchen sind im Allgemeinen jedoch etwas größer als das Männchen und etwas dunkler gefärbt. Das Gewicht reicht von etwa 200 Gramm bei den kleinsten Formen (etwa auf den Galápagos-Inseln) bis zu über 500 Gramm etwa bei der Nordamerikanischen Schleiereule, europäische Schleiereulen wiegen zwischen 300 Gramm (Männchen) bis etwa 400 Gramm (Weibchen).
Der namensgebende, ausgeprägte herzförmige Gesichtsschleier ist sehr hell, je nach Unterart ist er weiß bis hellgrau oder leicht rostrot. Die Oberseite des Körpers ist meist goldbraun mit einer feinen grauen Fleckenzeichnung. Die Unterseite kann von einem sehr reinen Weiß bis zu einem hellen Braun variieren, außerdem unterscheiden sich die Zeichnungen und Fleckungen der einzelnen Unterarten sehr deutlich voneinander. Der Schnabel ist blassgelb, die Krallen sind hornfarben, die Iris der Augen ist dunkelbraun bis schwarz. Die Zehen sind fast unbefiedert und dunkelgraubraun.
Die Nestlinge weisen im Unterschied zu anderen Eulen zwei aufeinanderfolgende Dunenkleider auf: Das erste Dunenkleid ist weiß und kurz. An den Halsseiten fehlt es fast ganz. Nach etwa zwölf Tagen folgt ein dichteres und längeres Dunenkleid, das an der Körperoberseite grau und an der Körperunterseite gelblich getönt ist. Die Augen öffnen sich ab dem achten Tag. Die Iris ist anfänglich blau und färbt im Verlauf von vier Wochen in ein Dunkelbraun um. Der Schnabel ist beim Schlupf weißlichrosa, nimmt aber sehr schnell eine graue Färbung an. Die Zehen sind anfangs rosagelb und haben bis zum Flüggewerden der Jungeulen eine dunkelgraue Farbe

The barn owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is also referred to as the common barn owl, to distinguish it from other species in its family, Tytonidae, which forms one of the two main lineages of living owls, the other being the typical owls (Strigidae). The barn owl is found almost everywhere in the world except polar and desert regions, in Asia north of the Himalaya, most of Indonesia, and some Pacific islands.[2]
Phylogenetic evidence shows that there are at least three major lineages of barn owl, one in Europe, western Asia and Africa, one in southeast Asia and Australasia, and one in the Americas, and some highly divergent taxa on islands. Accordingly, some authorities split the group into the western barn owl for the group in Europe, western Asia and Africa, the American barn owl for the group in the Americas, and the eastern barn owl for the group in southeast Asia and Australasia. Some taxonomic authorities further split the group, recognising up to five species, and further research needs to be done to clarify the position. There is a considerable variation between the sizes and colour of the approximately 28 subspecies but most are between 33 and 39 cm (13 and 15 in) in length with wingspans ranging from 80 to 95 cm (31 to 37 in). The plumage on head and back is a mottled shade of grey or brown, the underparts vary from white to brown and are sometimes speckled with dark markings. The face is characteristically heart-shaped and is white in most subspecies. This owl does not hoot, but utters an eerie, drawn-out shriek.
The barn owl is nocturnal over most of its range, but in Britain and some Pacific islands, it also hunts by day. Barn owls specialise in hunting animals on the ground and nearly all of their food consists of small mammals which they locate by sound, their hearing being very acute. They usually mate for life unless one of the pair is killed, when a new pair bond may be formed. Breeding takes place at varying times of year according to locality, with a clutch, averaging about four eggs, being laid in a nest in a hollow tree, old building or fissure in a cliff. The female does all the incubation, and she and the young chicks are reliant on the male for food. When large numbers of small prey are readily available, barn owl populations can expand rapidly, and globally the bird is considered to be of least conservation concern. Some subspecies with restricted ranges are more threatened.
the fissure in the sunset bokeh ball reminds me of the fissure in humanity. strangely, in a time of global pandemic, compassion is lacking. interdependence is ignored. we humans are complex!
yet this image also reminds me of what’s good in the world: connection, light, beauty, vulnerability, strength, and kindness. it’s in these bursting flowers. it’s in us, too.
Taken in early October, leaves littering the rock face of the lower section of Toms Branch Falls in Deep Creek. This is perhaps one of the easiest waterfalls to access in Western North Carolina, and in parts one of the more scenic. The face beneath the running water over grown with moss, cracks in the rock face from centuries, perhaps even millennia of water freezing in the deep winter, creating fissures, creating intrigue. The added light, and high contrast scene painting a picture of time standing still, you can almost hear the water rolling, smell the fall leaves not yet washed away, feel the spray over your face and hands even as the temperatures begin to drop. This is why we really love fall, and yet yearn for spring.

The Capelinhos is a monogenetic volcano located on the western coast of the island of Faial in the Azores. It is part of the larger Volcanic Complex of Capelo, that includes 20 scoria cones and lava fields that are aligned west-northwest to east-southeast from the Cabeço Gordo caldera. Although the name "Capelinhos" is associated with the volcano, it technically refers to the western cape of the parish of Capelo.
A volcanic eruption lasted for 13 months, from September 27, 1957 until October 24, 1958, which may have been two overlapping volcanic eruptions. While enlarging the land by 2.4 km², it spawned 300 seismic events, hurled ash 1 km, destroyed 300 houses in the parishes of Capelo and Praia do Norte and caused the evacuation of 2,000 people (emigration to the US and Canada). On October 25, the volcano entered a period of dormancy. It is a part of an active fissural volcanic complex which creates multiple seismic and volcanic events.

Quand la fissure de la banquise rejoint le ciel pour faire qu'un.
(C'est le moment de l'année qu'il faut être prudent sur le bord du fleuve. Je savais que la marée était montante donc je n'avais pas d'inquiétude à ce que la banquise cède sous moi.)
An overview of the Meradalir eruption in SW-Iceland, taken just before midnight on the first day, 3 August 2022. In the back are lava fountains on a fissure, about 200 m long, which is a vent for magma streaming up at the rate of about 20 cubic metres per second. In front of the fissure is a lake of lava. The edges of the lava "freeze" and build up solid "walls" that contain the molten rock within, until fresh streams of lava overflow them or breach through. The view over the Meradalir valley in the brief August night is quite surreal and spectacular.

Try saying that after a few of your favourite tipples!
This was stark reminder of how hardy these ferns are as they seemingly thrive in the harsh Karst Limestone landscape on the Gait Barrows, near Silverdale in North Lancashire.
I spent a few hours rambling around the incredible Limestone Barrows here and I must have sat for at least 90 minutes waiting for the forecast "sunny spells" to arrive, before finally packing up. It was as grey as an "Elephants Ear" as I waited to take a shot of a lone pine tree emerging from a slab of Carboniferous Limestone. It would have looked great with a bit of sunshine, but hey that can wait for another day.
The bare Karst Limestone landscape here is very different to any of the other areas up here in the North of England. The surface is incredibly resistant to erosion and the fissures are far less frequent and very narrow. I will post a few more shots in due course and I will get back to the location when we get some decent weather.
I was going to call this "in the groove", but the more I looked at it and the numerous fissures in this limestone pavement, I thought "points failure" was more apt!
This is actually the "lone tree" at Malham which appears to be sadly dying of "ash dieback" like many other trees up here in the Dales.
I was hoping for a decent sunset, but it didn't really happen. The light at this point about 30 minutes before sunset was pretty good though and brought out some nice detail and textures.

A damaged 35mm house reel. Though fairly sturdy, these reels were not totally abuse-proof and would bend if dropped or handled roughly. When things go especially bad, well, the picture could tell a story.
I originally did not have this reel in mind for the theme at its original time, and I was stuck in another creativity rut. By time I thought of it, it was too late to get the photoshoot going.
A north looking view of the Þingvellir rift valley in Iceland from near the Lögberg flagpole inside the National Park. On the left side of the foreground is the slope Hallurinn. Almannagjá gorge is further left outside of the photo. These features mark the west side of the rift valley. In the center of the photo is the Óxará which exits the Almannagjá by cutting threw the Hallurinn slope. It then flows down a low between faults. Fissures filled with water can be found along the banks of the river. Further to the right cliffs along other faults/fissures across the river can be seen. The bounding fault on the east side of the rift valley, Hrafnagjá, lies near the Mountains and cannot be made out in this photo. The Volcanoes and Volcanic Mountains on the horizon left to right are Ármannsfell, Lágafell, Skjaldbreiður ( a large shield volcano), Tindaskagi, Hrafnabjörg.
