Sant’Elia is a small fraction of the municipality of Santa Flavia, in the province of Palermo.
The inhabited center, founded around the seventeenth century, located largely on a promontory overlooking the sea, was initially born as a fishing village dependent on an ancient trap.

This is but a fraction of this massive double waterfall. The whole thing in frame is a kind of an awkward composition from the viewpoint at the end of the trail. I like this one and another one I'll post in a while much better.

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.
The facades of the houses are colored with bright colors and writings, the walls have mosaic decorations and colorful tiles and the small village has become a very popular place for travellers.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.
Le facciate delle case sono colorate con tinte vivaci e scritte, i muri recano decorazioni a mosaico e piastrelle variopinte e il piccolo borgo è diventato un luogo molto visitato dai viaggiatori.
I have to confess that I was both surprised and quietly chuffed when I uploaded this and saw that I’d caught this little fellow fairly cleanly. He appeared from nowhere into that exact position, obligingly stopped for a fraction of a second as the sunlight hit him, and then was gone.
I had been patiently plotting up that little bit of lavender hoping a bee might come and land somewhere on it and was just about to give up because holding the 20x magnifier in place on the back of the LCD with pressure from my eye for any length of time can become uncomfortable, so I was about to quit when there was a glint in the sunlight. I didn’t even think about it before I knew it I had moved the camera and hit the button - one shot and gone - . I hoped the focus point had found him. I checked and saw that Ihad indeed caught him but I can never tell whether something is in proper focus even with that powerful magnifier - I can tell if it is blurred, but often they look sharp but when I upload to the big screen, they are anything but.
This time it was! :^))

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
The name derives from the fact that the fields around Partinico were bought by the Jesuit fathers in the 1500s. The name parrini, in fact, in Sicilian means priests.
So it was an area managed by the religious consisting of a small country church and a convent around which, later, the village arose with lodgings for the settlers and agricultural labourers.
In 1767, then, this village became the property of the French prince Henri d'Orleans who set up a farm for the production of a wine that soon became much appreciated and sought after. After the Second World War many of the inhabitants preferred to move to the city and the village remained almost uninhabited and therefore began its inevitable decline.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Il nome deriva dal fatto che i campi intorno a Partinico nel 1500 furono acquistati dai padri Gesuiti. Il nome parrini, infatti, in siciliano significa proprio preti .Quindi era un’area gestita dai religiosi costituita da una piccola chiesa di campagna e un convento attorno a cui, in seguito, sorse il borgo con gli alloggi per i coloni e i braccianti agricoli.
Nel 1767, poi, questo borgo divenne proprietà del principe francese Henri d’Orleans che vi impiantò una azienda agricola per la produzione di un vino che presto divenne molto apprezzato e ricercato. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale molti degli abitanti preferirono trasferirsi in città e il borgo rimase quasi disabitato e quindi iniziò la sua inevitabile decadenza.

* It has been four years since I have the opportunity to photograph a Starling murmuration .This was taken from almost the same place I took some shots in 2019 .This year the event took place inland over the Far Inns nature reserve . The images from the murmuration in 2019 were over the River Humber. Impossible to speculate how many Starlings were involved the RSPB site says it can be up to 100,000.
Despite the incredible size of the flocks, starling numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be. The starling population has fallen by more than 80 per cent in recent years, meaning they are now on the critical list of UK birds most at risk.
The decline is believed to be due to the loss of permanent pasture, increased use of farm chemicals and a shortage of food and nesting sites in many parts of the UK.

Les ciel orageux sont les plus surprenants. Ils courent vers l'horizon pour ne pas tomber dans l'oubli. Et si le soleil souffle sur les braises, Ils peuvent s'embraser en une fraction de seconde et s'éteindre en un moment. Même le chien s'est arrété un instant pour savourer le moment.

Thank you for visiting and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
Picture Lake in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Park. Luckily it wasn't too crowded and we could set up nicely with a magnificient view. With luck we were able to shoot some of the meteors as they lit up for a fraction of a second across the night sky. This photo has two in view just above the mountain. Squint and you'll see them!
This is just a fraction of the number of King Penguins that were at this location. There are really no words to describe the feeling of being among thousands of penguins that show absolutely no fear of people. It was quite a humbling experience. Now I say that I should have taken more pictures but sometimes it was so overwhelming that you just had to look and take it all in. We were told that there were more than 250,000 penguins at some locations. This was the summer season in the Southern Ocean and they come here only to nest, then return north to warmer waters during the winter.
We were also told that the older penguins nest to the inside of the group and the first time nesters stay to the outside. This is because there is more risk of predators getting the chicks that are on the outside and the more experienced penguins know that. Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia on the cruise to Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
A fraction late locking on to this pair so not as sharp as I would have liked, but still nice to see the two together....taken @ Kidwelly Quay

This view shows a small fraction of the tundra swan activity on Sunday afternoon near Brownsville MN. The swan staging area extends for about 3 miles on the upper Mississippi River here and those distant flying swans are about 1 1/2 miles or 2400 meters away from where I was standing on the west shore. The Wisconsin shoreline would be an additional 800 meters to the east. If you care to zoom in on this rather fuzzy photo since there's some atmospheric distortion, you can see hundreds of ducks, some Canada geese and even a few American white pelicans joining in the mix.
…….A view from Hallin Fell, just a fraction of the lovely views from up here. Alan:-)………

Actually I just wanted to cross the street. On my way through Madrid City. Within a fraction of a second I decided to photograph him. His surprised look says it all. I thanked him very kindly and moved on.
Well, I have finally reached 1000 uploads after being on flickr for exactly 9 years. I know that I am not the most prolific contributor, but I do like to try and show only my best work on my stream. I have also had a couple of breaks over the last 9 years as life has sometimes taken priority over what for me is a pastime rather than a livelihood. Of course, I only show a tiny fraction of the amount of images that I take and I use this stream to share my landscapes and a few nature images. I do photograph other subjects and I have recently got the bug for scanning and reviving very old slides and negs - but that would be for another stream/profile.
This image was one that I made last week up Higger Tor in the Dark Peak. I waited approximately one hour for the strong wind to blow thick dark cloud further north. The wait was worth it because the sun then shone through the clouds in dramatic fashion.

Seems like this little spring cub is manning the lost & found these days. LOL. Spring cubs, much like our own children, they are quite fascinated by the smallest of things ... sometimes it's a box, or a tool, perhaps a branch, or even a camera or a tripod, or in this case a hat that was obviously dropped by an onlooker. Well, it didn't seem to matter as this little one played with that thing non-stop, though honestly I'm not sure who was having more fun ... the cub or the photographer (me) happily clicking away during its antics. LOL. Tucked in closely to its mom, it tossed that hat around, put it in the water, retrieved it from the water ... though it just wouldn't put it on ... guess it wasn't its size or style. ;-). Either way, it was a fantastic encounter for me and great entertainment for the cub. By the way, no one came to claim it from the cub ... smart move I'm sure.
Hope that made you smile, even a fraction of what it did me. Happy Tuesday!

partly seen, framed by the castle (only a small fraction of all its windows is seen!) on a snowy day.../ Uppsala domkyrka, delvis inramad av slottet (man ser en mindre del av alla fönster!), en vinterdag.../Uppsala, la catedral, parcialmente enmarcada por el castillo (sólo se ve una pequeña fracción de todas las ventanas!), un día de nevadas...(003-2)
Suspended for a fraction of a second, this perfectly formed droplet is a moment of pure symmetry. It is weightless yet powerful, embodying the delicate balance between motion and stillness. A fleeting crystal ball, reflecting the world in microcosm before it vanishes.
A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself, seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.

This is a frame captured a fraction of a second after the previous image. For the moment, the swallow on the post has successfully defended the nesting box. Mud Lake WMA, SE, Idaho.
🇫🇷 Les trois fractions ladinophones se trouvent au sud-ouest de la commune
le Tyrol autrichien est germanophone, tandis que le Tyrol italien présente une situation linguistique plus complexe : au Sud-Tyrol, la moitié de la population se déclare germanophone, un tiers est italophone et il y a une minorité (4 %) ladinophone.
Cette langue est reconnue dans le Haut-Adige, ou Tyrol du Sud, concurremment à l'allemand et à l'italien ,dans le Val de Fassa au Nord du Trentin, le Nord de la Vénétie, autour de la station de sports d'hiver réputée de Cortina d'Ampezzo
🇩🇪 Die drei ladinischsprachigen Fraktionen befinden sich im Südwesten der Gemeinde.
Das österreichische Tirol ist deutschsprachig, während das italienische Tirol eine komplexere Sprachsituation aufweist: In Südtirol bezeichnet sich die Hälfte der Bevölkerung als deutschsprachig, ein Drittel als italienischsprachig und es gibt eine Minderheit (4 %), die ladinischsprachig ist.
Diese Sprache wird in Südtirol neben Deutsch und Italienisch anerkannt, im Fassatal im nördlichen Trentino, im nördlichen Venetien und rund um den bekannten Wintersportort Cortina d'Ampezzo.
🇮🇹 Le tre frazioni di lingua ladina si trovano nella parte sud-occidentale del comune
Il Tirolo austriaco è di lingua tedesca, mentre il Tirolo italiano presenta una situazione linguistica più complessa: in Alto Adige, metà della popolazione si dichiara di lingua tedesca, un terzo di lingua italiana e una minoranza (4%) di lingua ladina.
Questa lingua è riconosciuta in Alto Adige, insieme al tedesco e all'italiano, in Val di Fassa, nel Trentino settentrionale, nel Veneto settentrionale, intorno alla famosa località di sport invernali di Cortina d'Ampezzo.

L’église romane du XIIème siècle, a été reconstruite en grande partie aux XIX et XX ème siècles, sur les restes d’une abbatiale ruinée. L’édifice est particulièrement remarquable par l’élévation de la nef et l’intégration des techniques gothiques dans un style roman. C’est une église fortifiée, protégée par une enceinte de remparts. Elle est classée monument historique depuis 1965.
