Well well, this has just become my most popular image on flickr, many thanks to all who faved and commented. I'm slightly surprised only because so little prep went into it, just the usual success factor of getting up and about early enough and staying flexible - actually clocked this view in my rear mirror first. Thanks again. :-)

It is a trick of long zoom lens that makes Fujisan (富士山) or Mt. Fuji look so close to the high-rise buildings in Nishi Shinjuku (西新宿) or western Shinjuku.
This is a westward view from Bunkyo Civic Center.
The twin-tower building just beside Fujisan is Tochou (都庁) or Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office Building. It also has a free observation lounge.
Since Japan is an earthquake prone country, high-rise buildings are built as anti-seismic flexible structures. I hear that these high-rise buildings swing slowly and continue swinging for a while after an earthquake is over. Some say they suffered motion sickness. I also hear that it was horrifying to look up swinging skyscrapers from the ground level at the time of earthquake (^_^;
Tokyo prefecture designates emergency evacuation sites for respective areas of the prefecture in case of severe earthquake. The high-rise building area in Nishi Shinjuku is exceptionally advised to stay in respective buildings.
The area seems to be safe except for the risk of motion sickness.
This is an alternative shot of an image uploaded previously.
Surprised that no one has posted a shot of skin - the most easily accessible and very flexible object that can be photographed. This is a shot of a section of my palm. The logistics involved in getting this shot was quite tricky!
For Macro Mondays task of ‘Flexible’.
It was interesting and entertaining to watch the feeding behaviours of both the 'i'iwi and the 'amakihi (endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers). Very flexible necks and often hanging off a branch. They pry flowers (like this māmane) open with their beak, then use their tongue to lap up the sweet liquid at the flower's base.

Das Thyssenkrupp-Hauptquartier, offiziell auch als „thyssenkrupp Quartier“ bezeichnet, ist die Konzernzentrale der Thyssenkrupp AG im Westviertel der Stadt Essen. Das Quartier ist Kern des städtebaulichen Projektes Krupp-Gürtel und steht genau auf dem Grund, auf dem Krupp mit der Gussstahlfabrik in Essen seine Wurzeln hat. Der neue Bürocampus ist ein Ensemble aus verschiedenen Einzelgebäuden, die auf einem „grünen Teppich“ mit Bäumen, verbindenden Wegen und kleinen Plätzen angeordnet sind. Dem Konzern als Auftraggeber war es dabei besonders wichtig, dass sich die Neubauten flexibel an Veränderungsprozesse innerhalb des Unternehmens anpassen lassen. Die Kosten für den ersten Bauabschnitt des Hauptquartiers werden auf über 300 Millionen Euro beziffert.
Das Gebäude Q1 als Hauptgebäude des neuen Campus ist als markanter Hochpunkt auf der zentralen Wasserachse platziert, die dem Gelände seine Struktur verleiht. Neben diesem und weiteren Bürogebäuden gehören eine öffentliche Kita, das Veranstaltungsgebäude Q2, ein Parkhaus und eine Tiefgarage zum Quartier. Der städtebauliche und architektonische Entwurf des Campus steht für Offenheit, Begegnung und Kommunikation – innerhalb des Quartiers und nach außen in die angrenzenden Stadtteile.
The Thyssenkrupp headquarters, also officially known as the “thyssenkrupp Quartier”, is the corporate headquarters of Thyssenkrupp AG in the western quarter of the city of Essen. The quarter is the core of the urban development project Krupp-Gürtel and stands exactly on the ground on which Krupp with the cast steel factory in Essen has its roots. The new office campus is an ensemble of various individual buildings arranged on a “green carpet” with trees, connecting paths and small squares. As the client, it was particularly important to the group that the new buildings could be flexibly adapted to change processes within the company. The costs for the first construction phase of the headquarters are estimated at over 300 million euros.
Building Q1 as the main building of the new campus is placed as a prominent high point on the central water axis, which gives the site its structure. In addition to this and other office buildings, a public day-care center, the Q2 event building, a multi-storey car park and an underground car park are part of the quarter. The urban and architectural design of the campus stands for openness, encounters and communication - within the quarter and to the outside in the neighboring districts.

I must say, I was shocked when I saw how nighttime changes an owl's face. While they become fearsome predators at night, they also become much more adorable to us humans, who have evolved to perceive large eyes as captivating and innocent.
In an effort to find area barred owls, I set out to a local park before sunrise and came upon this Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio) in the dark. This darkness was so inky and thick, in fact, that I could not see if he was in his hole or not, so trained my tripoded camera on the hole, manually focused, and finally saw him in the preview window! Shocked for sure by those massive pupils staring down at me, a frog (which he swallowed greedily prior to this photo and while I watched) in his talons!
Interestingly, owl eyeballs are not balls at all, but so well evolved for night vision that they have elongated into eye cones. For this reason, they cannot move their eyes in their sockets, and have evolved wildly-flexible necks. With their highly acute retinas replete with rods (the light and movement sensing eye bits), there wasn't much room for cones, and so most owls see limited or no color!

[New Post ] Travel lessons on a trip to Gangotri via a Tibetan settlement
Travel plans for our first visit to the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand were like they always are – non-existent. Hence, flexible. Because we were travelling without an itinerary, we were open to everything. So how did we go about exploring…

Nachdem ich das obere Teil des Schiffes durch die Büsche fahren sah, beeilte ich mich nach unten zum Nord-Ostsee-Kanal zu kommen.Wenige Meter entfernt gleitet dann das Cargo Schiff an mir vorbei.
After seeing the upper part of the ship sailing through the bushes, I hurried down to the Kiel Canal and the cargo ship glided by a few meters away.

Giraffes can safely eat from spikey bushes like acacia trees due to their long, flexible tongues and thick saliva. These adaptations allow giraffes to strip leaves from spiky branches without causing harm to their mouths.
The tongue's prehensile nature enables them to hold leaves securely, while the saliva helps lubricate the spines, making it easier to swallow. This unique feeding behaviour is a key adaptation that allows giraffes to thrive in their natural habitat.

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.
Key Characteristics
Speed:
Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.
Temperament:
Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.
Exercise Needs:
They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.
Prey Drive:
As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.
Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.
