The Chichén Itza Ball Court, built around 850 AD, is the largest ball field in Mesoamerica, which includes Mexico and the countries of Cental America. The court measures 168 by 79 meters (551 by 230 ft), over twice the size of an American football field. The parallel walls are each 95 meters (312 ft) long and 8 meters (26 ft) high. The inverted hoops placed in the center of the walls are carved with into decorative feathers. The court is acoustically perfect. A whisper from one end can be heard clearly at the other end 79 m/ 500 ft away.
The uppermost bird in this flock of mixed waders (grey plover, knot and dunlin) is completely upside-down. Not really sure why, but the wind was very strong!

White Pocket does not need snow to be the white princess it is, but a little bit of ice and snow does give it a boost. If you are wondering about the title, the frozen foam on the ice cold water looks like snowflakes, falling from below.
I've been away quite a bit these last few weeks so have been largely missing off here.
Last week I a ran a 3 day 1-2-1 tuition session in the Lakes, the first time I've been back into the Lakes since Spring this year, the weather the first two days was largely terrible but we still managed got a lot done, the second day was spent on a laptop doing processing as the rain just did not stop, the third day however was something of a totally different story, I'd looked the night before and thought it looked promising, and I opened the curtains to a world of foggy goodness covering the entirity of Windermere.
This was shot about 15 minutes before sunrise over Skelwith Fold looking towards the Langdale Pikes and beyond, the vally flooded with silky fog and the sky colouring up nicely from the sunsrise to the East.
You literally couldn't have asked for anymore, furthermore the day went onto get better weather wise with still water everywhere and gorgeous golden light, more than making up for the two previous days' drab showings.
Welcome back to Lakeland :-)

The grey lourie, also known as go-away bird, grey loerie, or kwêvoël, is a bold and common bird of the southern Afrotropics. They are present in arid to moist, open woodlands and thorn savanna, especially near surface water. They regularly form groups and parties that forage in treetops, or dust bathe on the ground. Especially when disturbed, they make their presence known by their characteristically loud and nasal "kweh" or "go-way" calls, with the last syllable typically a descending drawl.

I posted a similar photo yesterday. These pictures were taken on different days. I need them all uploaded for my one single Instagram post.

The Louvre Inverted Pyramid is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside.
The inverted pyramid marks the intersection of two main underground walkways beneath the Place du Carrousel and orients visitors towards the museum entrance under the Cour Napoléon. Tensioned against a 30-tonne (33-short-ton), 13.3-metre (44 ft) square steel caisson frame, the inverted pyramidal shape in laminated glass points downward towards the floor.
Directly below the tip of the downwards-pointing glass pyramid, a small stone pyramid (about 1 m, 3.3 ft) is stationed on the floor, as if mirroring the larger structure above: The tips of the two pyramids almost touch.
The Pyramide Inversée was designed by architect I.M. Pei, and installed as part of the Phase II government renovation of the Louvre Museum, known as the Grand Louvre project. It was completed in 1993. In 1995, it was a finalist in the Benedictus Awards, described by the jury as "a remarkable anti-structure ... a symbolic use of technology ... a piece of sculpture. It was meant as an object, but it is an object to transmit light."
