This very MOOtiful double act were busy posing just outside my brother's property near Orange in New South Wales.
Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus.
Cattle are commonly raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal, see beef cattle), for milk (see dairy cattle), and for hides, which are used to make leather. They are used as riding animals and draft animals (oxen or bullocks, which pull carts, plows and other implements). Another product of cattle is dung, which can be used to create manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. Cattle, mostly small breeds such as the Miniature Zebu, are also kept as pets.
Around 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated from as few as 80 progenitors in central Anatolia, the Levant and Western Iran. According to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome.

Kudu, also known as the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), is a magnificent antelope species found in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It is a large and majestic animal, renowned for its unique and striking appearance.
Physical Characteristics:
The Kudu is one of the largest antelope species, with males, known as bulls, weighing up to 600 kg (1,300 lbs) and standing around 1.5 to 1.7 meters (5 to 5.5 feet) tall at the shoulder. Females, known as cows, are smaller and lighter.
Both males and females have long, spiral-shaped horns. The horns can grow up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) in length in males, while in females, they are shorter and slimmer.
Appearance:
Kudus have a beautiful coat with distinctive white stripes along their sides. These stripes are believed to act as a form of camouflage in their woodland habitats, helping them blend in among dappled sunlight and shadow.
The coat coloration varies, but they are generally reddish-brown with a tinge of blue-grey in some areas. The undersides are usually pale.
Habitat and Behavior:
Kudus are found in a range of habitats, including woodlands, savannas, and dense bush areas. They are adaptable animals but prefer regions with enough vegetation for cover.
These antelopes are mainly browsers, feeding on leaves, fruits, and shoots. They have the ability to reach high branches to access food that other herbivores might not reach.
Kudus are predominantly nocturnal, which means they are most active during the night, helping them avoid predators and the heat of the day.
Males are typically solitary or found in small bachelor groups, while females form small herds, often accompanied by one dominant male.
Conservation Status:
The Kudu population is generally considered stable, but some local populations face threats due to habitat loss and hunting for their meat, hides, and horns.
Conservation efforts focus on preserving their natural habitats, implementing anti-poaching measures, and promoting responsible tourism to protect this iconic African species.
Kudus are not only remarkable creatures for their physical beauty but also for their role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats. As such, efforts to safeguard their existence are crucial for the overall health of Africa's biodiversity.
The old corn cribs were designed so the equipment can pull through and unload, then the equipment stored over winter for protection. Over the years the corn cribs evolved to outpost garages and junk collections in the fileds.
NO! Stop. That implement is for removing stones from cherries, not cracking hazelnuts!
Happy LCOF everyone.

Because of the safety measures implemented during Covid-19, there is a reduced collection of downtown Springfield, Mo regulars. Some, such as these couple of skate boarders, utilize the ghost town as a surrogate for their otherwise closed usual hang-outs.
I appreciate Dominic and his friend for inviting me to shoot them during their trick boarding session.
And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Symbolic metal mirror drops were created to be placed in the central square of Kharkov on the day of the city, August 23. But due to the insane shelling of Kharkov, which Russian barbarians continued to carry out, it was impossible to install an art object there. And the authors came up with a proposal to decorate the public space of Kyiv with giant drops.
As conceived by the authors, the drops gravitate both to the ground and to each other, symbolizing the unity of the two cities - the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, and Kharkov, which today courageously resists the Russian aggressor.
The project was implemented by a workshop from Kharkov METALSTYLE, they called it "Unity"
Символические металлические зеркальные капли были созданы для размещения на центральной площади Харькова ко дню города (23 августа). Но из-за безумных обстрелов Харькова, которые продолжали совершать российские варвары, установить там арт-объект было невозможно. И авторы обратились с предложением украсить гигантскими каплями общественное пространство Киева.
По замыслу авторов, капли тяготеют как к земле, так и друг к другу, символизируя единство двух городов - столицы Украины Киева и Харькова, который сегодня мужественно противостоит российскому агрессору"
Проект был воплощен мастерской из Харькова METALSTYLE, они назвали его "Единение"

La Torre Arcobaleno si trova a Milano, vicino alla stazione ferroviaria di Porta Garibaldi: è alta 35 metri, è stata costruita nel 1964 e nei suoi primi anni di vita non era ancora nota come “Torre Arcobaleno”, dato che serviva semplicemente come serbatoio per l’acqua da destinare alla stazione. Negli anni Ottanta la torre perse la sua funzione, iniziò a deteriorarsi e si pensò di demolirla. In occasione dei Mondiali di calcio del 1990, giocati in Italia, si decise invece di ristrutturarla: fu rivestita con piastrelle colorate e solo allora prese il suo nome attuale, Torre Arcobaleno. Dopo i Mondiali la Torre Arcobaleno si è nuovamente deteriorata, perdendo molte delle sue piastrelle. Da alcune settimane – e anche grazie a Expo – la Torre è stata un’altra volta ristrutturata: i lavori sono costati circa 100mila euro e hanno permesso di sistemare le circa 100mila piastrelle di 14 diversi colori che ricoprono l’esterno della torre.
The Torre Arcobaleno (Rainbow Tower) is a recognizable mark on the city and emotional landscape of Milan, capital of fashion and design. Founded in 1990 by a group of companies that transformed an anonymous water tower at Porta Garibaldi into a colourful tribute to the creativity of Milan, the Tower has been re-stored and returned to its original splendour. The project, designed by the firm Original Designers 6R5 Network and implemented by Baz-zea-B Construction Technology, Condor, Row Solutions, Mapei and Marazzi, is a tribute to the people of Milan and to Expo 2015 visitors. The Torre Arcobaleno is a renovated symbol of the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Milan, now under the eyes of the world thanks to the Universal Exposition.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The Allis-Chalmers Company of West Allis, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee. This great company was one of the pioneers of the industrial age in America and around the globe. Allis-Chalmers built the engines that ran our factories: in 1900, they were perhaps the largest maker of steam engines in the world. Over time, they expanded into almost every type of engine and machine, using the slogan “Ours the Four Powers: Steam, Gas, Water, Electricity.” The company made everything from giant turbines for power plants to the more familiar orange farm tractors. Allis-Chalmers was a continuous inventor and innovator in these fields.
This is a small sample of old farm implements preserved in perfect condition!

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.

Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.
A fascinating history of the company which produced the Beacon can be found at Mike Eckman's website: mikeeckman.com/2023/07/beacon-two-twenty-five-1950/

A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.
Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.
Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)
In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.
While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.
Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.
Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)

Elizabeth Station was always a good place to hang out with a camera. I can only imagine what it was like a decade before when the CNJ main was still active before the Aldene Plan was implemented. 11-19-1977

India celebrates the festival of Makar Sankranti on 14 January every year (on 15th if it is a leap year).
It marks the transition of the sun from the zodiac of Sagittarius to Capricorn (makara). As this coincides with the sun's movement from south to north, it is dedicated to the sun god Surya.
Regional flavours mark the celebration of this festival. However common to all flavours is social gatherings, song and dance, bonfires, spiritual practices and of course, good food, especially sweets made from sesame seeds and jaggery.
In Gujarat, in western India, the festival is know as Uttarayan, and is celebrated by flying kites over two days. Aerial fights are common, the aim is to severe your opponent's kite from its string. Screams of 'kai po che' rent the air when one succeeds in de-capacitating an opponents kite.
There are some downsides. People fall off rooftops, ground glass coated kite strings - great for the aerial battles, banned by law which is difficult to implement - cause serious injuries and sometimes death. Not reported is injury to birds and animals. However volunteers, charitable trusts and vet clinics come together to treat the injured animals.

An early morning start to capture the view of the lovely Cascade des Tufs of French Jura region. A lovely waterfall in the middle of nowhere and one of my favorite.
Yes the composition was actually inspired from my Flickr friend Stephan. Thank you Stephan for showing the way. :)
I just couldn't control myself from capturing this panorama; however the idea came from you. Hopefully I have at least implemented it well!
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice Easter holiday.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
If you come to Norfolk, do try to visit this garden... even if you are not a gardener it was a wonderful idea and perfectly implemented. Amazing venture by the two owners. You will love it! eastrustonoldvicarage.co.uk
