I know this is all a bit yuk to some but I have found this incredibly fascinating. This is the Poplar Hawk Moth Caterpillar becoming a chrysalis, it's head and little feet die off first like you can see here and then within a few hours they are totally brown.
The Common Cuckoo shows two adult plumage morphs—adult male plumage is grey and adult females are either grey or, less frequently, rufous.
The situation is less clear in juveniles, as both sexes exhibit variable proportions of grey and rufous colour. We thus describe the patterns related to sex-specific plumage colour variation in a central European Cuckoo population.
This scene made me do a double take. Had some alien life form washed ashore? The infrared makes the live matter look ghostly white.
In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.
Two different forms of transportation momentarily meet as the BHS heads lite to switch Odyssey. The MASSIVE Cargill terminal at the port sets the backdrop for this scene. This may or may not be what I've heard called the "100" Crew. I clearly have a lot to learn about this operation... but that's what makes things fun!
Form, light, shade and aesthetic purity coalesce in the historic tenth century royal palace in Seville. Formerly the site of the Islamic era citadel of the city, the citadel was developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty and Almohads through the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. A difficult image to capture.
These eight columns form a sculpture in the pedestrians section at the eastern end of Century Avenue, close to Century Square. 8 is the Chinese "lucky number".
This is a "vertigo" perspective of the sculpture in the previously uploaded shot.. And no, I did not lay on the ground to do this: The camera was on a tripod, just 30 cm above ground level, aligned with the axis of the artwork, the lens positioned above the center of the artwork (axis and center are marked by the joints of the granite floor tiles), the horizontal camera adjustment was done using a spirit level.

Zwei rote Zebras in Form von 189 901 und 905 bespannten am 15. November 2024 den KLV-Zug DGS 43821 von Bremen Grolland nach Verona Q.E. ab München Ost Rbf für die Fahrt über den Brennerpass. Die einheitlich mit Aufliegern der Speditionen Terratrans und paneuropa beladene Leistung befindet sich hier im deutschen Teil des Inntals und wird nach wenigen Kilometern Kufstein erreichen.
Two "red zebras" in the form of 189 901 and 905 hauled the intermodal train DGS 43821 from Bremen Grolland to Verona Q.E. from Munich Ost Rbf for the journey over the Brenner Pass on 15 November 2024. The service, uniformly loaded with trailers from Terratrans and paneuropa, is located here in the German part of the Inn Valley and will reach Kufstein after a few kilometres.
This is a pair of Common Blue Damselflies 'in the wheel' forming a heart shape. Damselfly sex is complicated, so pay attention!
The (blue) male initiates the reproductive process by depositing some sperm from his primary genitalia near the tip of his tail onto secondary genitalia under the 2nd segment of his abdomen (just below his 'chest') . Grasping a female by the back of her head or 'prothorax', they fly around in tandem until she is ready to collect the sperm, which she does by looping around so she can collect the sperm with her genitalia located near the tip of her tail - which is what is happening in this picture. They can remain like this for a few seconds or a few minutes, and can even fly around conjoined like this. At some point, she will straighten out, and then they fly in tandem to a nearby stretch of slow flowing water where she will deposit her eggs. I believe that the eggs are not fertilized until they are laid, so it is important the male keeps hold of her until the eggs are deposited to prevent other males from mating with her. The damselflies play no role in caring for their offspring and, in fact, only live a matter of weeks in the winged form. The eggs hatch and develop over a few weeks and the nymphs grow, shedding their skins several times over at least one year, some species multiple years, until, when the time is right, the final 'instar' climbs up a plant stem and sheds its skin to emerge as the final, flying adult form - transitioning from water breathing to air breathing in the process. The adult forms only live for a few weeks, spending that time eating and breeding. Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies) are amongst the most successful animals on earth, surviving virtually unchanged (apart from size) for hundreds of millions of years, being found in fossil records. No species has evolved from them - it seems any mutation makes them less successful.
All these mentions of sex, mating, copulation, sperm and genitals will get lots of hits by people searching for porn on Flickr!

Tiel. Prins Bernhardsluizen.
The Prins Bernhardsluizen form the shipping connection between the river Waal and the southern part of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. They are located on the east side of Tiel, the lock gates were built in 1952 by Werkspoor Utrecht and are owned by Rijkswaterstaat. The Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is designated as CEMT class VIb with maximum dimensions (L × W × D) of 200 × 23.5 × 4.0 metres.[4]
North of the lock, the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is crossed by:
• The Betuwelijn, the railway line between Tiel and Arnhem
• Rijksweg 15 (A15)
• The Betuweroute, the railway connection between Rotterdam and Germany
• The Grotebrugse Grintweg, a local connection between the industrial estates on either side of the canal
De Prins Bernhardsluizen vormen de scheepvaartverbinding tussen de rivier de Waal en het zuidelijk gedeelte van het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Ze liggen aan de oostkant van Tiel, de sluisdeuren zijn in 1952 gebouwd door Werkspoor Utrecht en eigendom van Rijkswaterstaat. Het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal is aangewezen als CEMT-klasse VIb met als maximale maten (L × B × D) 200 × 23,5 × 4,0 meter.[4]
Ten noorden van de sluis wordt het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal gekruist door:
•De Betuwelijn, de spoorlijn tussen Tiel en Arnhem
•Rijksweg 15 (A15)
•De Betuweroute, de spoorverbinding tussen Rotterdam en Duitsland
•De Grotebrugse Grintweg, een lokale verbinding tussen de bedrijventerreinen aan weerszijden van het kanaal
