Kinderdijk, Netherlands.

This sunrise last October at Kinderdijk was certainly one of my most intense experiences. We arrived long before dawn, and the whole scenery was covered in mist and the windmills were hardly visible. No one was around to disturb the eerie atmosphere.

Reddish Egret

 

The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.

 

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.

 

Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

Guide Falls on the Guide River, North West Tasmania.

 

A very attractive waterfall that is a leisurely amble from the car park and is surrounded by lawns and numerous picnic spaces.

 

The geology here is remarkable. During the Tertiary period, hot, fast moving basalt flowed down a gravel-floored river valley, pooled and cooled relatively slowly. That left a flow around 4m thick in places with strong columnar formations. Subsequent erosion of the gravel from beneath the lava flow resulted in the collapse of the basalt in great, van-sized blocks like so much 'lego'.

 

The Guide follows that weakness in the surface today.

Great Horned Owl

 

The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) with its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.

A few photos from the archives of Zadar in Croatia, which we visited a few years back.

I've walked this path many times, but normally in the opposite direction, and so I'd never appreciated the nice swoop the guided busway makes here.

 

I had to recrop this one after the fact because I was rushed to get this one shot: I'd sped up to get ahead of a pedestrian so I could take this shot, and I only had this instance before he would overtake me again getting in the frame. Thank goodness for enough pixels to let me re-compose after.

This delightful young lady was our guide when we were spending one day in Croatia ,on a Danube cruise. We moored at Vukovar & were driven to the beautiful old town of Osijek . We were amusingly entertained by a comical fisherman & then had a lunch with a local family. Our guide kept us well informed in a most pleasant manner , throughout..

New Brighton lighthouse, Merseyside, UK

This lovely little lighthouse is a short drive up the coast at Blyth. I usually see it as I drive further afield as heading further afield is something I enjoy. I often stop here on the way back from somewhere and either the light isn't great or I've had my fill of shooting for the day. Anyhow I've finally got round to it...
