Lu Di Cave, also called Reed Flute Cave, Guilin China.
This picture is taken in the largest cave and you can see the reflection in the crystal clear water. Amazing place.
Minimal editing, added a bit contrast and sharpen.
It's another extraordinary natural phenomenon. There is a crack in this reef. When strong waves come up, some water got under the rock and splash upward like a giant fountain that can reach up to 10 meters. This fountain also comes with sounds like a whistle. That is why it's often referred as flute of the sea.
A "flute", often called a "Champagne Flute" is a narrow glass with a long stem. A rounded base supports the stem, and the length of the stem is considered desirable because it means you can hold the stem without touching the glass. Hanging onto the glass part and sipping does affect the temperature of the champagne, producing warmer champagne and fewer bubbles. The narrow bowl at the top of a flute also helps to keep the bubbles from escaping.
These flutes were seen and photographed hanging on strings from the ceiling at a shop in the Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto, California.....an odd way of displaying glassware but, nevertheless, unique and eye-catching.

Australian Magpie (Black-backed)
Scientific Name: Cracticus tibicen
Description: The Australian Magpie is black and white, but the plumage pattern varies across its range. Its nape, upper tail and shoulder are white in males, grey in females. Across most of Australia, the remainder of the body is black. In the south-east, centre, extreme south-west and Tasmania, the back and rump are entirely white. The eye of adult birds is chestnut brown.
Similar species: The Pied Butcherbird, Cracticus nigrogularis, can be distinguished from the Australian Magpie by its black head and bib separated from the black back by a complete white collar, and white underparts. It is also a smaller species. The Australian Magpie is larger and has a heavier bill than the similarly coloured Magpie-lark, Grallina cyanoleuca.
Distribution: Australian Magpies are common and conspicuous birds. Groups of up to 24 birds live year round in territories that are actively defended by all group members. The group depends on this territory for its feeding, roosting and nesting requirements.
Habitat: Australian Magpies are found wherever there is a combination of trees and adjacent open areas, including parks and playing fields. They are absent only from the densest forests and arid deserts
Feeding: The Australian Magpie walks along the ground searching for insects and their larvae. Birds will also take handouts from humans and will often venture into open houses to beg for food.
Breeding: Although the Australian Magpie is generally quite tame, during the breeding season some individuals become aggressive towards any intruders, including humans, which venture too close to their nest sites. The nest is a platform of sticks and twigs (occasionally wire), with a small interior bowl lined with grass and hair. The nest is constructed in the outer branches of a tree, up to 15 m above the ground.
Calls: A loud musical flute-like song, often performed as a duet or by groups. An uncommon alternative name for the Australian Magpie is Flute Bird. The Australian Magpie has one of the world's most complex bird songs.

The Koubba was an ancient funduq (caravanserai or inn) and the rooms surrounding the courtyard are now given over to mannequin displays of day-to-day life under the Ottomans. It's thought to have been built in the late 11th century AD. The most striking feature is the cupola with its remarkable zigzag ribbing; the fluted interior is just as impressive.

Seeing this busker in Dublin, who also played the fiddle, brought to mind Phil the Fluter's Ball, the wonderfully humorous song by Percy French, one verse of which goes like this:
With a toot on the flute
And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh
Hopping in the middle
Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh
Up, down, hands around
And crossing to the wall
Sure hadn't we the gaiety
At Phil the Fluter's ball
This is very old but still worth a listen. It may make you smile!
Battersea Power Station. As part of the renovation and redevelopment of the original building (which had been constructed in two phases in the 1930s and the 1950s), the four chimneys were demolished and replaced with modern replicas.
