Laguna del Lagarto Eco-Lodge - Costa Rica, 2018.
I never ever expected to get this close to one of these guys. Thankfully, they don't eat humans. !!
This guy was surrounded by Black Vultures so the first thought was that it had prey. On closer inspection nothing was found, so perhaps the vultures were just hopeful.

I post the second photograph of this series. After a few minutes the fisherman drove his boat about a hundred and more meters north east from his initial position, gathering the fishing nets and the boat was not backlighted.

This sculpture is also made by another Serra, Richard Serra.
Few spaces embody the frenetic pace of 21st century travel as forcefully as the international departures lounge at Terminal 1 of Pearson International Airport. At the locus of Canada’s busiest hub, amidst the crowds, lines, gate changes, and luggage, the elemental presence of Tilted Spheres emerges from the tile floor, as if out of geological time. Stepping inside the curved steel walls, the terminal din is modulated into a soft, intimate soundscape. Depending on where you stand, you might hear a fellow traveller’s whisper in your ear from across the hall. It is a moment of escape without escapism, where the life of the airport is distilled into a sort of steel womb. I feel more present than ever. In any case, it’s my favourite part of flying.

It’s signature Richard Serra. There are no screws, bolts, supports, or weld marks. Instead, the curved, blackened steel rises from out of the floor with a monolithic and almost otherworldly grace. In fact, the terminal lounge — opened in 2004 — was specifically designed to accomodate the concave sculpture, which spans over 12 metres in length and stakes a central place at the intuitive heart of the building’s circulation. But what does it all mean? While the scale and sanctity of Serra’s forms invites comparisons to temples and places of worship, the spirituality of it all is visceral, personal, and open to interpretation. As Serra put it, his work is best experienced by “walking and looking.”

Purple-crested turacos are shy and wary of humans and are mostly only seen in the forest canopy amongst the darkness of branches and leaves...
This beautiful bird occurs from Uganda through Tanzania to the eastern half of southern Africa, where it is locally common in closed woodland and coastal forest. It eats almost exclusively fruit, foraging in tree canopies, perching at the end of branches to pick the fruit directly.
The nest is built by both sexes, with one collecting sticks and handing them to other, who adds it to the nest. It lays 2-4 eggs, which are incubated by both sexes, for 21-23 days. The chicks leave the nest before they can fly, at about 21 days old, but at about 38 days old, they make their first flight.

"Breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in
Breathe in, breathe out
And let it in
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
Beneath the skin
Breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in"

This is the unique name given to this Puffin Sculpture altogether they are forty-two of them and they are located along the Yorkshire Coast and nearby Towns ..They highlight the importance of the protection of Wildlife of the Seas and Coast. Each Artist has given them a name on that subject ...This one was seen on Cottingham Market .
The collared pratincole, scientifically known as Glareola pratincola, is an elegant bird belonging to the family Glareolidae. This species is known for its long, narrow wings and distinctive forked tail, which gives it a graceful appearance during flight.
My first encounter with collared pratincoles was a captivating experience dating back to the early eighties in the Ebro Delta in Spain. It was a mythical species for me, and I can still recall the excitement when I could observe the graceful flight of foraging collared pratincoles above my tent on the beach of Platja Eucalyptus where they hunt insects.
These birds breed in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, usually in sandy areas with little vegetation, such as coastal plains, riverbanks, and steppes. They migrate to sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia during the winter months.
Although they are generally not a threatened species, collared pratincoles are sometimes affected by habitat loss and disturbance of breeding areas due to human activities. Fortunately, they also benefit from protected natural areas and wetlands, where they can thrive.
Take a look in the mirror
And what do you see?
Do you see it clearer
Or are you deceived
In what you believe?
'Cause I'm only human after all.

Le premier qui, ayant enclos un terrain, s'avisa de dire : Ceci est à moi, et trouva des gens assez simples pour le croire, fut le vrai fondateur de la société civile. Que de crimes, de guerres, de meurtres, que de misères et d'horreurs n'eût point épargnés au genre humain celui qui, arrachant les pieux ou comblant le fossé, eût crié à ses semblables : Gardez-vous d'écouter cet imposteur ; vous êtes perdus, si vous oubliez que les fruits sont à tous, et que la terre n'est à personne.

L'ADN des gorilles est de 98 % à 99 % identique à celui de l'homme. Ils sont les êtres vivants les plus proches de l'homme après le Bonobo et le Chimpanzé.
The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the bonobo and common chimpanzee.
Sé por conocimiento propio que en la primera guerra mundial, durante la retirada alemana final de la Línea Hindenburg, los ametralladores dejados atrás para demorar tanto como fuera posible el avance eran casi siempre ejecutados hasta el último hombre, aun cuando se rendían. En estos juicios hay un elemento de hipocresía que hiere. Ahorcar generales y políticos y gente de campos de concentración está bien, pero cuando se llega a oficiales menores dejo de sentirme cómodo. La libertad de elección que tuvieron estos hombres me parece poco más que la libertad de preferir la muerte al deshonor, y eso es pedirle demasiado a la naturaleza humana.

The docks around the Oslo Opera House have been rebuilt with human rocks. Despite all modern ingenuity, the result is rather boring and predictable. Economic considerations are prominent.

Have a great day, everyone!
Get me out
'Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
I like the way you stare ;-)
