I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.
The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,
I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.
This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.

View form the Carfax Tower
Carfax is the junction of St Aldate's (south), Cornmarket Street (north), Queen Street (west) and the High Street (east) in Oxford, England. It is considered to be the center of the city. The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". The Carfax Tower, also known as St. Martin's Tower (it is the remaining part of what was the City Church of St. Martin of Tours) is a prominent landmark and provides a look-out over the town.

Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità, che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità, su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

The springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern Africa. The sole member of the genus Antidorcas.
Active mainly at dawn and dusk, springbok form harems (mixed-sex herds). In earlier times, springbok of the Kalahari desert and Karoo migrated in large numbers across the countryside, a practice known as trekbokken.
A feature unique to the springbok is pronking, in which the springbok performs multiple leaps into the air, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) above the ground, in a stiff-legged posture, with the back bowed and the white flap lifted.
Primarily a browser, the springbok feeds on shrubs and succulents; this antelope can live without drinking water for years, meeting its requirements through eating succulent vegetation. Breeding takes place year-round, and peaks in the rainy season, when forage is most abundant.
Springbok inhabit the dry areas of south and southwestern Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies the springbok as a least concern species. – Wikipedia
When it was time to setup for an evening shot, the sun was teasing me with light. Although present and to my left, it was timidly hiding behind a low cloud. It seemed to mock me with its faint glow, provoking a shot, then just as quickly hiding, as if playing some game.
However, I knew the chance for side lighting would come because the clouds had vacated the horizon. I composed the shot with the use of tiny puddles in the mud. They appear disproportionate to the scene with the lens inches away. But lead the viewer in. Then for a moment the canceled becomes the revealed, and the side lighting changes the scene, helping shapes take form.
Ravens and crows together form the genus Corvus in the corvid family (Corvidae). The larger representatives are referred to as "ravens", the smaller ones as "crows". However, this is not a taxonomic classification. The genus includes 42 species, which are distributed almost worldwide and are missing only in South America. In Europe, the common raven, the carrion crow (carrion crow and hooded crow) and the rook occur. As a naturalized neozoon, the crow has also been breeding in the Netherlands since the late 1990s.
Ravens and crows are among the largest species within the order of passerines: the two largest representatives of the genus are the common raven (Corvus crassirostris) and the common raven (Corvus corax), each of which has a body length of between 60 and 70 cm and a body weight of up to Can reach 1.5 kg and are therefore the largest passerine birds ever.

Raben und Krähen bilden zusammen die Gattung Corvus in der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae). Die größeren Vertreter werden als „Raben“, die kleineren als „Krähen“ bezeichnet. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine taxonomische Einteilung. Die Gattung umfasst 42 Arten, die fast weltweit verbreitet sind und nur in Südamerika fehlen. In Europa kommen der Kolkrabe, die Aaskrähe (Rabenkrähe und Nebelkrähe) und die Saatkrähe vor. Als eingebürgertes Neozoon brütet zudem die Glanzkrähe seit Ende der 1990er Jahre in den Niederlanden.
Raben und Krähen zählen zu den größten Arten innerhalb der Ordnung der Sperlingsvögel: Die beiden größten Vertreter der Gattung sind der Erzrabe (Corvus crassirostris) und der Kolkrabe (Corvus corax), die jeweils eine Körperlänge zwischen 60 und 70 cm und ein Körpergewicht von bis zu 1,5 kg erreichen können und damit die größten Sperlingsvögel überhaupt sind.

Bearding is a natural behavior in bees where they form clusters on the front of the hive, often resembling a beard. This behavior is typically a response to hot and humid weather, as the bees gather outside to help regulate the temperature and humidity inside the hive.
Bearding does not indicate a problem with the hive and should not be interfered with by beekeepers.
Bees may stay bearded for hours or days, depending on the weather conditions.
Bearding can be confused with swarming, but there are differences between the two behaviors. Bearding bees are calm and collected, while swarming bees are preparing to leave the hive to establish a new colony.
Bearding usually occurs in the evening when temperatures drop, whereas swarming typically happens earlier in the day.

Autrefois exclusivement accessible par les chanoines, ce cloître aux formes réfléchis et géométriques met à dispositions plusieurs pièces architectures permettant de retracer quelque peu le passé de la cathédrale. A l'heure de la réforme protestante, la ville fut de nouveau secouée mais par un mal religieux cette fois ci. Résultat en 1529, la ville rejoint la cause protestante et les chanoines ainsi que l’évêque furent exclu des lieux laissant ce cloître ainsi qu'un autre plus petit à la merci de la municipalité et maintenant même aux tourismes :)

The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.

To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.
Nothing is more useful than power, nothing more frightful. We have often suffered from degradation by poverty; now we are threatened with degradation through power. There is happiness in the love of labor; there is misery in the love of gain. Many hearts and pitchers are broken at the fountain of profit. Selling himself into slavery to things, man becomes a utensil that is broken at the fountain.
AS CIVILIZATION ADVANCES, the sense of wonder almost necessarily declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind. Mankind will not perish for want of information, but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.

En el año 2009, Rafael Prieto Fernández, vecino de la parroquia de Loiba, decidió colocar por su cuenta y riesgo un banco de madera al borde del acantilado. Durante el Festival de Ortigueira del año 2010 un grupo de músicos escoceses que actuaban en dicho festival visitaron los acantilados y garabatearon en la trasera del banco la frase: «The best bank of the world». Lo que en principio parecía una mala traducción de «banco» (por entidad financiera), en realidad se refería a escarpadura o corte de acantilado. Desde entonces esa frase se copia y pinta fielmente cada vez que se renueva el banco.
El fotógrafo Dani Caxete (maravilloso fotógrafo que también lo tenemos por Flickr) obtuvo una mención especial con una foto nocturna de ese banco en la edición del año 2015 del «Earth and Sky Photo Contest on Dark Skies Importance», un concurso organizado por la UNESCO para reivindicar los cielos nocturnos libres de contaminación lumínica. Esta mención que se publico en la prensa impulsó de forma importante que el público conociera este sitio.
