Flame

for Macro Mondays: Handle With Care

HMM!!!

Пазори – северное сияние. Слово «северное сияние» народ не знает. Это слово деланное, искусственное, придуманное в кабинете, едва ли не Ломоносовым, а ему, как холмогорцу, не могло быть чуждым настоящее русское слово «пазори». Северное сияние – буквальный перевод немецкого Nordlicht.

У нас каждый переход столь обычного на Руси небесного явления означается особым метким словом. Так начало пазорей, когда на северной стороне неба начинает как бы разливаться бледный белый свет, подобный Млечному Пути, зовется отбелью или белью. Следующий затем переход, когда отбель, сначала принимая розовый оттенок, потом постепенно багровеет, называется зорями (зори, зорники ). После зорей начинают обыкновенно раскидываться по небу млечные полосы. Это называют лучами. Если явление продолжается, лучи багровеют и постепенно превращаются в яркие, красные и других цветов радуги столбы. Эти столбы краснеют более и более, что называется багрецы наливаются. Столбы сходятся и расходятся – об этом говорится: столбы играют. Когда сильно играющие столбы сопровождаются перекатным треском и как бы громом – это называется сполохами. Если во время северного сияния зори или столбы мерцают, то есть делаются то светлей, то бледней, тогда говорится: «зори или столбы дышат».

Наши лесники, равно как и поморы, обращающиеся с компасом, давным-давно знают, что «на пазорях матка дурит», то есть магнитная стрелка делает уклонения. Случается, что небо заволочено тучами, стоит непогодь, либо метель метет, и вдруг «матка задурит». Лесники тогда знают, что на небе пазори заиграли, но за тучами их не видать. Замечательно, что как у поморов, так и у лесников нет поверья, будто северное сияние предвещает войну или мор. Свойство магнитной стрелки и влияние на нее северного сияния они называют «тайной Божьей силой».

The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.

Have a Peaceful Saturday!

I'm standing by the lake, it had been snowing all day and night before. Leaving home, the sky was cloudy and gray, I wanted to photograph the monotony of our winter. When I was taking photos in the middle of the forest in the previous place, I noticed that there is a bit of red in the sky. I hurried as fast as possible on the snowy path to the shore of the lake to watch the tearing of the cloud cover and the colors of the setting sun. The sky seemed to be on fire and so was I lol as I watched and photographed this spectacle.

A panorama of four photos. In the afternoon, the sun set at 15:51. Finland.

Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.

The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.

It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.

I hope you enjoy.

Flame Robin (m) (Petroica phoenicea) from one of two encounters with this species this winter, central Victoria, Australia. The female was hunting across the forest floor nearby, while the male briefly surveyed the area from this low vertical perch; he then joined her shortly afterwards. This is an extreme crop, so fine feather detail is lacking, but I really liked the setting.
