FotografÃa de todo el medio Manhattan, hecha desde el mirador del rascacielos "One World Trace Center" a casi cuatrocientos metros de altura....Al ser un observatorio cerrado, la captura la tuve que hacer trás los gruesos cristales de su enormes ventanales y con todos lo inconvenientes que esto acarrea.....reflejos indeseados, suciedades, perdida de nitidez, personas alrededor, tarde un tanto gris....En fin! Era esto, o nada....yo preferà el intento y esta imagen es el resultado.
Detrás de los rascacielos del fondo se encuentra el emblemático y enorme "Central Park" y la ubicación de mi punto de vista sobre el "One WTC" está en el corazón del "Financial District" otra colmena de enormes rascacielos en el bajo Manhattan, punta de la forma de lengua que tiene la "Gran Manzana".

Photograph of the entire middle of Manhattan, taken from the vantage point of the skyscraper "One World Trace Center" at almost four hundred meters high.... Being a closed observatory, I had to do the capture behind the thick glass of its huge windows and with all the inconveniences that this entails...unwanted reflections, dirt, loss of sharpness, people around, a somewhat gray afternoon.... Anyway! It was this, or nothing... I preferred the attempt and this image is the result. Behind the skyscrapers in the background is the emblematic and huge "Central Park" and the location of my point of view is on the "One WTC" in the heart of the "Financial District" another hive of huge skyscrapers in lower Manhattan, tip of the tongue shape of the "Big Apple".
Recomiendo hacer doble click sobre la imagen y ver en grande.
I recommend see in larger, clicking double on the imagen.
Never seen one in such bright breeding colours before. He was utterly beautiful. He had several colours of the rainbow in his face. I used the car as a blind as he was beside the road collecting nest material.

A change in the weather! Finally some much needed rain and more dramatic skies. I got up early knowing a new storm was due to arrive on this morning. I checked my weather app and it looked like I had a few hours before the storm would come ashore so I decided to head to the coast.
It was still dark when I arrived so I spent some time wandering the village streets in Laguna. The early morning hours in Laguna can be magical and I always find new photographs to make!
Eventually, it became obvious that the storm was getting close to making landfall. I put on my rain jacket and then did the same for my camera. Then made my way to this vantage point. I made this photograph a few minutes before I felt the first refreshing drops of rain.

Saint Petersburg formerly known as Petrograd (1914–1924), then Leningrad (1924–1991), is a city situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. It is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow. With over 5.3 million inhabitants as of 2018, it is the fourth-most populous city in Europe, as well as being the northernmost city with over one million people. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
In modern times, Saint Petersburg is considered the Northern Capital and serves as a home to some federal government bodies such as the Constitutional Court of Russia and the Heraldic Council of the President of the Russian Federation. It is also a seat for the National Library of Russia and a planned location for the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it's also referred to as Russia's Culture Capital. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.
Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor is a large architectural landmark cathedral that currently functions as a museum with occasional church services in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint. It was originally built as a cathedral but was turned into a museum by the Soviet government in 1931 and has remained a museum ever since. In 2017, the Governor of Saint Petersburg offered to transfer the cathedral back to the Orthodox Church, but this was not accomplished due to the protests of St Petersburg citizens opposing the offer.
The neoclassical exterior expresses the traditional Russian-Byzantine formula of a Greek-cross ground plan with a large central dome and four subsidiary domes. It is similar to Andrea Palladio's Villa Capra "La Rotonda", with a full dome on a high drum substituted for the Villa's low central saucer dome. The design of the cathedral in general and the dome in particular later influenced the design of the United States Capitol dome, Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki.
The exterior is faced with gray and pink stone, and features a total of 112 red granite columns with Corinthian capitals, each hewn and erected as a single block: 48 at ground level, 24 on the rotunda of the uppermost dome, 8 on each of four side domes, and 2 framing each of four windows. The rotunda is encircled by a walkway accessible to tourists. 24 statues stand on the roof, and another 24 on top of the rotunda.

Black-capped chickadees visit our feeders and heated water fountain year-round. But this is the only almost-bird in flight photo I've managed. Speedy and fairly friendly little birds!

Throughout Newfoundland one can see recycled plastic Adirondak chairs placed in scenic locations. I found this chair in a sea of yellow dandelions and placed the chair against a background of Bonne Bay with the Gros Morne tablelands in the background, with their patches of snow. The yellow chair and dandelions make a cheerful contrast to the grey skies on a cold cloudy day.

....on a hazy morning. I enjoyed this rest. That quiet change of seasons. Now autumn is coming with big strides. Soon the green will be gone and the leaves will rustle under my feet. It is OK. I love all seasons
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!

After a brilliant fire sky sunrise, the sky was quickly covered with a cirrus overcast and a lenticular cloud beneath. After the lenticular dissipated an hour later, the sky erupted with non-convective mammatus clouds: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51623642329/ and www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51622991621/.
This sky contains cirrostratus and Altocumulus stratiformis (lenticularis) opacus undulatus

During the Pandemic.
Today, March 14, 2025 San Francisco closed the Upper Great Highway (this roadway) permanently to cars. For those of us who live in the southwestern part of the city, it's possibly the stupidest thing the city has ever done.

What is becoming a rare event in Southern California, a storm brews off shore, slowly working its way toward the California coast. More please!

Rain makes gray days. I hate gray rainy days. I'm posting some flowers to make my day (maybe yours too...) look brighter and colourful! I love these simple flowers. Their name in Portuguese is "Alegria no lar". I don't know the English name. The equivalent (literal translation) is "Joy at home". Does anyone know the name of these flowers in English? Thank you...
Where a creek runs into Silver Lake is an old dead cottonwood tree. This black-crowned night heron decided to use it for a look around.
An einem kalten und grauen Tag im November 2024 konnte ich diesen Eisvogel in seiner natürlichen Umgebung fotografieren. Trotz der tristen Witterung strahlen die leuchtenden Blau- und Orangetöne seines Gefieders umso beeindruckender und bringen Farbe in die graue Szenerie. Der Vogel saß nur kurz auf diesem Ast, weshalb ich schnell handeln musste, um diesen besonderen Moment festzuhalten.
On a cold and gray day in November 2024, I had the opportunity to photograph this kingfisher in its natural habitat. Despite the gloomy weather, the vibrant blue and orange tones of its plumage shine even more impressively, adding a splash of color to the gray scenery. The bird perched on this branch only briefly, so I had to act quickly to capture this special moment.
