(that is some Bullhead fish).
Talk about Kingfisher, she is definitely the Queenfisher..
I left Camrose much later than I thought I would and was disappointed that had missed the sunset. That disappointment faded as an Alberta thunderstorm rolled in just in time for me to get a few lightning shots by one of my favorite abandoned farm houses.
This silence is all pervading, from the innermost depths of the human being, whose margins are God’s margins, to the widest embrace of human compassion. “What to do,” asks R. S. Thomas, “but to draw a little nearer to such ubiquity by remaining still?” Let us journey home, then, to the silence of our own fathoms by becoming still.

Los pelícanos (Pelecanus) son un género de aves acuáticas pelecaniformes pertenecientes a la familia monotípica Pelecanidae. Se caracterizan por su largo pico con un gran saco gular que utiliza para la captura de sus presas y el drenaje del agua recogida antes de tragárselas. Tienen un plumaje predominantemente claro, a excepción de los pelícanos pardos y peruanos. El pico, el saco y la piel facial desnuda de todas las especies adquieren colores brillantes antes de la temporada de cría. Las ocho especies existentes tienen una distribución global desigual, que va latitudinalmente desde la zona intertropical a la templada, aunque están ausentes del interior de América del Sur así como de las regiones polares y el océano abierto. Frecuentan las aguas interiores y costeras donde se alimentan principalmente de peces, capturándolos en o cerca de la superficie del agua. Son aves gregarias, viajan en bandadas, cazan cooperativamente y se reproducen en colonias. Cuatro especies de plumaje blanco tienden a anidar en el suelo y cuatro especies de plumaje marrón o gris anidan principalmente en los árboles.

Set of 5 images.
Although they are called waterfalls, they actually consist of intense tidal currents hurtling through two narrow gorges. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The tide builds up in front of the gaps faster than it can flow through them and there can be a four-metre-high waterfall between the bays.
The falls were described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”.
Travelling through them on special powerful speed boats provides one of the worlds natural adrenalin rushes. The gap between the two rock faces does not leave much for any errors but then these drivers have been doing it for a long time.
