A visit to Wiggonholt Common, part of Puilborough Brooks, with an RSPB volunteer and other camera club members.
The misty light was lovely, and I may have intensified the effect with a wide aperture on the Velvet 56, and the Rainbow Film...
Very slippery Rockweeds coat the costal rocks as far as the eye can see during low tide at Rialto Beach, revealing tidepools teaming with all sorts of vivid life, while the salt-spiced wind intensifies the brightness and stings the lips (and camera gear)!
'At least 66 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza over the course of Israel’s war, authorities in the Palestinian enclave said, condemning a tightened Israeli siege that has prevented the entry of milk, nutritional supplements and other food aid.
The statement from Gaza’s Government Media Office on Saturday comes as Israeli forces intensified their attacks on the territory, killing at least 60 Palestinians, including 20 people in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.
The media office said Israel’s deadly blockade constitutes a “war crime” and reveals its “deliberate use of starvation as a weapon to exterminate civilians”.
The office denounced what it called “this ongoing crime against childhood in the Gaza Strip” as well as “the shameful international silence regarding the suffering of children who are left to fall prey to hunger, disease, and slow death”.
It also said it holds Israel, as well as its allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, responsible for “this catastrophe”, and urged the United Nations to intervene and open the crossings into Gaza immediately.' ▪️ E Gaza zo marvet da nebeutañ 66 a vugale diwar ar gwallvagadurezh.

It was raining lightly and windy on this lovely Autumn morning.
Watching the wind rendering this lovely Maple a little more naked was fun to watch and intensified the lovely orange colours.

An insanely cold morning (-14) at Glen Affric as the pre-dawn colours intensified. Looking out towards Mullach Fraoch Choire. I wanted to be everywhere at once that particular morning!
You are very dependent on the weather and light when taking photos. We've often had dry, hot summers in Europe in recent years and now have warmed seas around us that don't cool down properly in winter.
That's why we had a lot of rain in France and Italy this year in spring (Seawater evaporation) and nature was extremely green by local standards, seasonally speaking, and 3 weeks behind.
In the situation here, you can still see a dark grey rain cloud, the raindrops had washed the dust out of the atmosphere and the still damp nature had intense colors, which the sun, which just found gaps in the clouds, intensified beautifully.
Man ist beim Fotografieren sehr vom Wetter und Licht abhhängig. Wir haben in Europa in den letzten Jahren oft trockene, heiße Sommer gehabt und inzwischen aufgewärmte Meere um uns herum, die sich im Winter nicht mehr richtig abkühlen.
Deshalb haben wir in diesem Jahr, im Frühjahr, in Frankreich und Italien viel Regen gehabt und die Natur war für dortige Verhältnisse, jahreszeitbezogen, extrem Grün und 3 Wochen zurück.
In der Situation hier, man kann noch eine dunkelgraue Regenwolke sehen, hatten die Regentropfen die Stäube aus der Atmosphäre ausgewaschen und die noch feuchte Natur hatte intensieve Farben, die die Sonne, die gerade Wolkenlücken fand, schön verstärkte.
Auf der Fahrt nach Südfrankreich war zunächst Metz unser Ziel, immer die Wetter-App im Auge, wann wo die Sonne zu erwarten war.
In Metz kam die Sonne etwas später, als vorherzusehen und für das Erreichen dieses Museum in Beaune wurde die Zeit knapp.
Nach "halsbrecherischer" Fahrt kamen wir dort ca. 2 Minuten vor Schließung an und ich spurtete mit meiner Kamera in der Hand, vom Parkplatz aus, los, sah die letzten Gäste das Gebäude verlassen, traf zu meiner Erleichterung noch auf eine offene Tür.
Personal war nigends zu sehen, so traute ich mich auch erst gar nicht den Aufzug zu nutzen, sondern nahm die Treppe zur ersten Etage und kam dort auf einen Außenbalkon, lief dann, Ebene für Ebene die Außenspirale hoch, hoffent, dass ich nicht doch noch aufgehalten wurde, mit dem Gedanken, wenn dich hier niemand gesehen hat, könntest du am Ende noch im Gebäude eingeschlossen werden ;-) ...
Die Hügel/Weinberge, die ihr am Horizont seht, sind Weltkulturerbe. Die Burgunder nennen sie Climats.
Seit Jahren gibt es den Trend in den wichtigstens Weinanbaugebieten die Wineries mit aufwendiger Architektur aufzuwerten. Es gibt z.B. für Südafrika Rundreiseangebote, von Winery zu Winery.
Da kann Burgund nicht zurückstehen und hat den Schlössern und Herrenhäusern der Weingegend eine moderne Architektur hinzugefügt, das als Museum alles zusammenfasst.
Und was wäre ein Besuch in der Hauptstadt des Weins, Beaune, ohne etwas über den Burgunderwein und den Weinanbau in der Region zu erfahren? Am Besten kannst du das in der hier gezeigten, im Juni 2023 neu-eröffneten Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne.
Seit dem Frühjahr 2023 können hier Weinliebhaber in die Welt des Bourgogne Weins, der Reben und der Besonderheiten der Bourgogne rund um die ‘Climats’ eintauchen.
Ein Climat, ist eine sogenannte kleine Parzelle im Weinberg, die von geologischen und klimatischen Besonderheiten gekennzeichnet ist.
Und jeder Wein aus einem climat hat einen ganz eigenen Charakter. Aufgrund der Vielzahl an climats in der Bourgogne, sind auch die Weine sehr unterschiedlich.
Das Museum ist also der ideale Ort für alle Wein- und Architekturinteressierte.

On the drive to the South of France, our first destination was Metz, always keeping an eye on the weather app to see when and where the sun would shine. In Metz, the sun came out a little later than expected, and time was running out to reach this museum in Beaune.
After a breakneck drive, we arrived about two minutes before closing time. I sprinted from the parking lot with my camera in hand. I saw the last guests leaving the building. To my relief, I found an open door. There was no staff anywhere in sight. So I didn't even dare use the elevator. Instead, I took the stairs to the first floor and arrived at an outside balcony. Then I walked up the outside spiral, level by level, hoping I wouldn't be stopped, thinking that if no one saw me there, I might end up locked in the building ;-) ...
The hills/vineyards you see on the horizon are a World Heritage Site. The Burgundians call them Climats.
For years, there has been a trend in the most important wine-growing regions to enhance their wineries with elaborate architecture. For example, there are tours for South Africa, from winery to winery.
Burgundy can't be left behind and has added modern architecture to the castles and manor houses of the wine region, bringing it all together as a museum.
And what would a visit to the wine capital, Beaune, be without learning something about Burgundy wine and winemaking in the region? The best place to do this is at the Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne, shown here and opening in June 2023.
Since spring 2023, wine lovers have been able to immerse themselves in the world of Burgundy wine, the vines, and the special features of Burgundy's climates.
A climat is a small plot in the vineyard, characterized by geological and climatic peculiarities.
And each wine from a climat has its own unique character. Due to the variety of climates in Burgundy, the wines are also very diverse.
The museum is therefore the ideal place for anyone interested in wine and architecture.

"So with the stretch of the white road before me,
Shining snow crystals rainbowed by the sun,
Fields that are white, stained with long, cool, blue shadows,
Strong with the strength of my horse as we run.
Joy in the touch of the wind and the sunlight!
Joy! With the vigorous earth I am one." - Amy Lowell

The intense rain these days appears to have intensified the voracity of this lovely Ruddy-breasted Seedeater that rests for a while after taking care of a whole grassy plant including its stem.

The Bullfinch (Male) - One of my favourite UK birds simply for it's sheer beauty.
Sadly, the UK population is currently 36% lower than in 1967. It is believed that deteriorating habitat quality, caused by agricultural intensification and reduced diversity in woodlands have played a part in these declines.

The Eurasian stone-curlew, Eurasian thick-knee, or simply stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus).
The Eurasian stone curlew occurs throughout Europe, North Africa and southwestern Asia. It is a summer migrant in the more temperate European and Asian parts of its range, wintering in Africa. Although the species is of Least Concern, some populations are showing declines due to agricultural intensification. For example, a French population has declined with 26% over 14 years
Changed my mobile phone provider today. Had a pretty boring shot of the store but decided to mix it up a bit with a distortion tool. Not the pinnacle of artistic expression but I like it all the same...
iPhone Camera+ app post processed on a Mac in Photos, Intensify, Pixelmator Distort and Noiseless.
It was my intention to shoot in the rain (honest!). Rain intensifies woodland colour and I wanted this intense colour to translate into deep monochrome tones. I've used very minimal editing in these images, partly because I didn't need to and partly because I wanted to portray the scene in an honest and true way.
The site was first occupied from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic era with occupation of the natural caves intensifying from the 8th century, when the city started to overshoot the boundaries of the defensive walls dated to the Roman Age and constructed all around the part of the city called Civita, which was the first inhabited nucleus. The earliest houses in the settlement were simple caves enclosed by a wall of excavated blocks on the two grabiglioni, Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. A Romanesque cathedral was built on the Civita between the two Sassi in the 13thcentury.
As our drought began to intensify, a number of creatures dependent on easy access to water began to relocate. For others, dependent on the impact of water on plants and wildflowers, the problem was more complicated. A local media outlet reported comments from wildlife biologists that pollen thickens to the point that it becomes difficult for creatures like Monarchs to consume.
This Monarch looked at me while resting on the edge of a local wetland. Unusually there were almost no flowers around, with the exception of a few swamp milkweed. The thistles were mostly dead.
Experimenting with a 1 sec exposure at Indian Lake in the rain. During the exposure, I panned the camera to the right. The end result was intensified color and a focus on color.
This shot is actually facing north east, but the orange sunset was so intense that it seemed to wrap around the beach this evening. Lingering summer shower clouds made this evening memorable and productive. I have several photos from this location but I thought I would intensify the processing on this one. At Point Pleasant, NJ

The previous shot I posted was taken when the colors started to appear - for the longest the clouds and sky were just a dull grey. This is about as pink as it got that morning.

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.
For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

This marks my 500th picture on Flickr. Woohoo... or something. Anyway, back to the lizard battle.
After Upon The Rampart, the battle went into overdrive for a little bit. At this point my camera (at 6.5 fps) couldn't keep up with these guys. Like I said, they're quick little critters.
The individual images are all great, but there's really no organization to the layout (other than what I thought looked good). I just didn't feel that each image deserved it's own post (as several have no sharp focal point).
In a couple of these you can really see the intensity of the energy (I believe those white specks in the 'middle' pic are flying debris kicked up by the lizards - I also liked the tail whip). :)
At this point I had lost track of which is which, but it was still lots of fun to watch.
My personal favorite is the bottom middle.
Well, I hope you like it.
Macro Mondays. Vibrant Minimalism. "The colors of your soul"
This photo is made with a piece of colored wool thread, wound on a wire and with three cards in three different shades, fuchsia purple, and bright green. In addition, to intensify the challenge this week, I have used a 1.5 cm high mini colored tweezers. Measurements for the full shot are 4.9 cm wide by 3.8 cm high.

Detail of fractured blue stone with colors intensified by light from overcast sky.
At some point on almost any backcountry trip I end up spending time looking at things that I might not notice and photograph at first. The initial focus is often the grand landscape of mountains and valleys and trees and rivers — but eventually I focus on the more “intimate” aspects of the landscape. Among these are the infinitely varied patterns and colors of rock, miniature landscapes of textures and fractures and more.
While walking back and forth between our camp and a nearby high point from which I photographed the larger landscape I had noticed several bands of interesting rock and made a mental note to return to them. A few days into our stay that moment arrived and I spent a few hours wandering slowly through this area, looking intently and finding more to photograph than I had initially seen. The intense color of these rocks is partially due to their innate blue tint and partly due to photographing them when they were in shadows.

I GIVE YOU BEAUTY, EVERY DAY!
It has been an exceptional year for the Roses in my garden. We have been regaled!
So much beauty and joy for all the senses, well, Mmm, I did not eat them, although I know that rose petals can be candied, LOL
Have you ever caught a glimpse of those bicoloured roses that adorn the gardens with their brilliant contrasting hues? Well, those are the beautiful 'fire and ice' roses that set an awe with their spectacular combination of contrasting colours.
They are a perfect combination of the dark and the light, complete with a sparkling red interior and soothing white exterior.
Rose is the universal symbol of love, friendship, relationship and beyond.
When the rose possesses a dual colour combination like that of the Fire and Ice rose variety, the meaning intensifies. OULALA
This variety of rose belongs to the hybrid tea rose type.
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

The red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) or red-backed shrike (also red-backed shrike) is a species of bird in the shrike family (Laniidae) and is the most common shrike species in Central Europe. It is best known for its behavior of impaling prey on thorns.
Its diet consists mainly of large insects, but also small mammals and birds. Native to much of Europe and western Asia, it breeds in semi-open landscapes that have a good supply of hedges and shrubs. The nests are preferably built in thorn bushes. Due to the intensification of agriculture, the red-backed shrike had to accept large population losses in Central Europe in the second half of the 20th century. The migratory bird winters in southern Africa.
Wiki
Der Neuntöter (Lanius collurio) oder Rotrückenwürger (auch Rotrückiger Würger) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Würger (Laniidae) und in Mitteleuropa die häufigste Würgerart. Er ist vor allem durch sein Verhalten bekannt, Beutetiere auf Dornen aufzuspießen.
Zu seiner Nahrung zählen vorwiegend Großinsekten, aber auch kleine Säugetiere und Vögel. In großen Teilen Europas und dem westlichen Asien heimisch, brütet er in halboffenen Landschaften, die ein gutes Angebot an Hecken und Sträuchern aufweisen. Die Nester werden bevorzugt in Dornsträuchern angelegt. Durch die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft musste der Neuntöter in Mitteleuropa in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts große Bestandseinbußen hinnehmen. Der Zugvogel überwintert im südlichen Teil Afrikas.
