Gherkin reflections

At the Davenport Crack where the sunset that I was hoping for got lost in all the clouds…

Happy Sunday!

P1310140 - Purple Sunbird - Br plumage - Size - 10 cm

At - Barnighad - Uttarakhand - Western Himalayas - ~1000m (3280 ft) Altitude.

Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus) is a small sunbird. Like other sunbirds they feed mainly on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. They have a fast and direct flight and can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird but often perch at the base of flowers.

DO YOU KNOW - Around 50 percent of Orangutans have fractured bones, due to falling out of trees on a regular basis.

Happy birding 🐬

Just a bit mind boggling

frozen - broken - melted - frozen

In the deep stillness of the night,

I look out over this city

it has just rained

and fog lies among

glistering pillars of iron and glass

I smile amused by how

the Los Angeles skyline looks like Gotham.

Near the summit of Black Point (6959 ft.) is an area cracked with deep (30 - 50 Ft.) fissures. Thirteen thousand years ago this was a Volcano beneath a shallow ice age lake. The water levels dropped and the volcano became an island and then a peninsula. Parts of the sides of the fissures are covered with a layer of crystalline tufa (Thinolitic tufa). In the background are the Sierra Nevada Mountains and a portion of Mono lake can be seen. Mono county, California, U.S.A.

Autumn storms sweep Morecambe Bay leaving a dramatic backdrop to this fractured rock on the summit of Holmepark Fell.

I spent the evening dodging showers in the hope of capturing some of the drama around sunset. This boulder with the riven structure, created by years of weathering on this exposed limestone plateau, provided a nice bit of foreground interest as the rain swept Silverdale and Arnside in the distance.

Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi state, Mexico, at twilight, it was getting dark and my mind was preoccupied by the prospect of going down the steep slippery stone trail in the dark, thankfully I did NOT end up in a Mexican hospital with a fractured ankle this time. Happy Monday to everyone.

The heavens opened shortly after this picture was taken, I ended up drenched in this!

Seen from a balcony at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I like the contrast of the older buildings with their fire escape ladders and "roof art" with the newer and taller steel andglass high rises.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is how it feels to live in Melbourne at the moment. It is not a commentary on which side of the political divide I support but about the fractures along political lines and ideology resulting in relentless vitriol and negativity that has fractured friendships and our once united city (and Country).

At the beginning it was all about standing together -bipartisan leadership and co-operation. Didn't take long for it to deteriorate into political point scoring at our expense.

This image just evolved and I guess I'm not sure it works. I took it from a bridge over-looking the freeway last year. Looking at it and the view of Melbourne town, just got me thinking about how much I love it and how broken it feels right now.

We will come back and be whole again. The talk of the move to mostly outdoor dining as has happened successfully in other countries even got me alittle excited this morning. You know how I love fairy lights.

Sometimes wonderful, long lasting ideas and new ways to do things arise from tragedies and I am sure that will happen in Melbourne as it will across the world. We just need to stop the cracks getting too big.
