Noch prägen hundterte, meist modernisierte Tatra-Bahnen das Straßenbild in der tschechichen Hauptstadt. Im weit verzweigten Liniennetz sind sie in der gesamten Stadt allgegenwärtig, so wie hier 8517 und 8180 als umgeleitete Linie 6 am Karlovo náměstí (Karlsplatz) in der Neustadt.
The Great Northern Loon (Gavia immer), is a large member of the loon, or diver, family of birds. The species is known as the Common Loon in North America and the Great Northern Diver in Eurasia.
Gavia immer. The feathers on the back of this Greater Norther Diver (or Common Loon in the Americas) have pale fringes identifying it as an immature. I photographed it in Scarborough harbour, North Yorkshire. It was spending most of its time under water, only surfacing briefly for air. I was lucky that it surfaced close to me for a few seconds enabling me to get this shot which is uncropped. They breed in North America, Greenland and Iceland and are winter visitors to Britain, mainly to western and northern coasts. It’s quite a scarce winter visitor to the Yorkshire coast, but Scarborough harbour is often the best place to see them if one stays around for a while. I previously photographed one here in February 2022 eating a Shore Crab in much better light.
Common Loon (Gavia immer) ~ Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia
A common loon displays in Peggy's Cove.
I am back in Canada, land of the loonie and astronomical snowfalls.
My airport ride couldn't make it up my side street, so I waded through waist-high snowdrifts in my once pristine Florida walking shoes back to my snow-encased house.
I look forward to getting caught up with everyone's photography.
Thanks for visiting!
Es ist immer noch neblig trüb, ob das nochmal anders wird ? wg. dem fehlenden Licht zeige ich Euch auch heute ein Bild von dem fantastischen dog-walk am letzten Dienstag. Da war es sonnig, tiefstehende Sonne das die schönen Bokeh-Fotos produzierte. Natürlich muss Mann & Hund auch heute raus, aber die Kamera hatte ich seit Tagen nicht mehr mit, wer will schon dunkelgrau fotografieren ???
It's still foggy hazy, will it change sometime again? Because of the lack of light I show you today another picture of the fantastic dog-walk on last Tuesday. It was sunny then, low sun that produced the beautiful bokeh photos in my stream. Of course, Man & Dog has go out every day, but the camera I've had in days not with me, who wants to photograph already dark gray ???

immer wieder findet man auf Ikaria Bauwerke (Ziegenställe, Keller, Häuser, ja sogar Kloster) die unter solch mächtigen hingewürfelten Steinblöcken gebaut werden
Ξανά και ξανά βρίσκει κανείς κτίρια στην Ικαρία (πάγκοι κατσίκας, κελάρια, σπίτια, ακόμη και μοναστήρια) που είναι χτισμένα κάτω από τόσο ισχυρούς λίθους

Die Bahnstrecke von Messina nach Catania verläuft fast immer in Sichtweite des Meeres und führt dabei an zahllosen malerischen Urlaubsorten vorbei. E656 040 zieht IC 721 nach Catania entlang der Straße von Messina. Am anderen Ufer ist bereits die calabrische Küste und damit das italienische Festland zu sehen.
The beautiful Common Loon which is pictured on our loonie. Not quite as colourful in its winter plumage now.
Great Northern Diver,
Gavia immer
The great northern diver is a large water bird, which is mostly a winter visitor to the UK. Great northern divers breed in Greenland, Iceland and North America, where they're called common loons. There have been occasional records of them breeding in Scotland, but these are very rare.
They breed on large woodland lakes or pools on tundra, with the male and female working together to build the nest on an island or shoreline. They're excellent swimmers, using their large feet to chase after small fish under the water.
Great northern divers usually spend the winter on the sea, favouring shallow areas close to shore. They can sometimes be seen migrating along the coast singly or in small flocks.
Divers look a little bit like cormorants, swimming with their large bodies low in the water and their long neck held upright. The great northern diver is a hefty bird, with a thick neck and a large, heavy bill. They often look as if they have a big bump on the forehead.
In their winter plumage, adults have a plain black back, neck and head, with a white throat and belly, and a darker half-collar at the base of the neck. In their summer breeding plumage, they have a dark black head and neck with a black-and-white-striped patch on the side of the neck, and a black back with a white chequered pattern.
In winter, great northern divers can most often be found off the coast of Scotland, northern, eastern and south-west England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. They can sometimes be found on inland lakes and reservoirs.

This Common Loon was taken at Lighthouse Park in Point Roberts, WA. I lay on the beach as he swam on by.
There were also many other good birds out including Red-breasted Mergansers displaying and Common Loons and Red-necked grebes in breeding plumage. There were also Harlequins, Buffleheads, Brant and Pelagic cormorants, Surf Scoters, Bald Eagles, Barn Swallows, American Goldfinches and Savannah Sparrows, 150 Brant geese and sea lions! A great day to be birding at the beach on Earth Day!

L'épaisse brume, le froid vif du matin, le crachin n'indisposaient en rien Mr ou Me Plongeon...ce qui n'était pas mon cas:-(
Depuis plusieurs heures que je l'observais, j'étais congelée malgré mes vêtements chauds. Mes doigts gelés peinaient à appuyer sur le déclencheur...c'est cet instant qu'il choisit pour s'approcher et me gratifier d'une splendide toilette:-)
Malgré l'éloignement et des conditions dignes d'un pays nordique, je pus subtiliser ce bref instant
Immer einen Urlaub wert! ----- www.inzell.de/. ----- www.erzbistum-muenchen.de/pfarrei/st-michael-inzell
