Two female Wood Ducks jaw at each other, with a somewhat bemused looking male between them. This interaction unfolded at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada — an excellent place to observe this species.
A Parasitic Jaeger is seen in flight with two small fish in its bill — whether it obtained them itself or by theft from another bird is unknown. It was thrilling to watch the action as several of these members of the Skuas family took passes at various gulls and terns, and made twisting maneuvers when they located a potential ‘donor.’ The interactions took place off Cape Merry near the town of Churchill in the northern part of the Canadian province of Manitoba. [This species is called Arctic Skua in the Old World.]

From deepskycorner: "The planetary nebula Abell 39 was discovered in 1955 by the American astronomer George Ogden Abell on the photo plates of the «Palomar Observatory Sky Survey» (POSS).
Abell 39 shows an almost perfect spherical bubble like a picture book for a planetary nebula. The western edge is about 50% brighter than the eastern. The central star is also not exactly in the center, but offset by about 2". It seems that this is due to a slightly asymmetrical ejection of matter and not an interaction with interstellar matter. It is estimated that the central star and the ejected material each have 0.6 solar masses."

The early morning light was just right and there were not that many people along the beautiful river bank …a perfect setting for wedding shooting. I was happy to be able to take this lovely snapshot showing the somewhat amusing interaction between the photographer and the bride (or bride-to-be).

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Despite the fact that Svalbard islands aren't considered to be one of the best places for viewing the northern lights because they hang as a big doughnut shaped curtain around the magnetic north pole, approximately along the 69th parallel. (This curtain normally runs south of Svalbard and north of Iceland. Northern Scandinavia is straight in it's path )However one night we got super lucky viewing some activity in an area with absolutely no light pollution
Name of the creation is "interaction". Things like atoms, colours, shapes, etc. are interacting with each other to create something.
In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules are interacting with each other. The above shapes and colours are interacted with each other and created my picture ( physical interaction).
Even despite the very bright nearly full moon night the Aurora was glowing intense in the sky while my friend happily shooting ,location West Fjords Iceland
With a billiard table, cues and balls in four colors, a nod to Calder’s bold palette, Untitled 2021 (le jeu de l’araignée rouge) is a typical example of Rirkrit Tiravanija’s work. Here, the player’s successive advances with the billiard’s cue alter the mutual relationships of the balls. During the game, viewers experience the work for themselves and, at the same time, change it for spectators. Tiravanija believes that art should not just be looked at but also experienced by socially inhabiting and activating it. The artist wants to minimize the boundaries between art and life whenever possible. He turns the spectators, whether or not they realize it, into a main feature of the artwork.
Rirkrit Tiravanija and Calder
There are myriad connections between the work of Tiravanija and Calder. For instance, a number of Calder’s sculptures (…) require activation in order for the viewer to achieve the full experience. Tiravanija’s work contains the same unfinished quality that characterizes Calder’s radical oeuvre.
Sounds and noises are also common denominators in the works of both Calder and Tiravanija. Some of Calder’s mobiles are sonorous: they make noises that could never be programmable; chance determines the experience and sounds of the work. Everything depends on conditions of the space, air currents and people’s movements. The same applies to Tiravanija’s works: the sounds they make are subject to the different configurations and the collisions of the billiard balls.
For both artists, the spectator is key and elements of chance are crucial. ”To most people who look at a mobile, it’s no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry” (Alexander Calder, 1957)

Luang Prabang/Laos - Kuang Si Falls
Laos Round-trip
The Khuang Si Falls are a natural treasure.
They are the largest and most spectacular waterfalls around Luang Prabang.
From the main cascade, the water descends from basin to basin, forming several natural pools of turquoise colour.
The intense turquoise color is due to the interaction between the water and the limestone calcium carbonate rocks over which it flows.

Tourists and locals:
It can be all too easy to go from tourist to victim.
Take care, be sensible and don't advertise wealth. Not advertising wealth may seem odd to some of us, but remember there are many who can't even dream of a foreign holiday.
Organised gangs operate in some areas; so don't wear that new "Rolex" for a stroll down the "wild side of town".
At the point of life threatening conflict, just give them what they want. They assume you are covered by holiday insurance and you probably are (medical cover may be no consolation if you end up in a hospital bed for your holiday).
Things got intense in the Gadwall interactions continuing from the previous image. Here one male is leapfrogging near the female on the right, while another male below the one in the air seems to have lost its head! (In truth, it appears it is diving.) A third male brings up the rear, vocalizing to add its view about things. All this action unfolded on a May day at Reunion Pond in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada.
