..ma non solo : VITA e COLORE sono gli altri elementi del godibile impatto che si ha appena si sbarca sull’isola di Ventotene
Con questo scatto, idealmente rappresentativo del mio stile, ringrazio sentitamente tutti i miei amici e contatti che con il loro costante supporto e le loro proposte mi hanno permesso di apprendere e metabolizzare stili e punti di vista anche molto diversi fra loro, nell’ottica ( e passatemi il gioco di parola :-) ) di un sempre migliore approccio al mondo fotografico .

Malin Head (Irish: Cionn Mhálanna) is located on the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland and is the most northerly point of the island of Ireland. The northernmost tip is the headland named Banba's Crown located at latitude 55.38ºN. Malin Head gives its name to the Malin sea area. There is a weather station on the head, which is one of 22 such stations whose reports are broadcast as part of the BBC Shipping Forecast.
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century AD) described a point called Βορειον (Boreion, "the northern") which probably referred to Malin Head.
Banba's Crown on Malin Head is the most northerly point of the Irish mainland. Banba was one of the mythical queens of Ireland. Banba's Crown is about 16 km (10 mi) north of the village of Malin. The island of Inishtrahull is further north, located approximately 10 km (6 mi) north east of Malin Head. Further north still is the most northerly landfall of Ireland, Tor Beg rock.

Landscape scenario in Southeast Iceland which is very typical for the landscape in that part of the island: mountain chains and swamy pastures with little pools like these everywhere. These ponds are a perfect biotop for migratory birds which we saw making landfall in these plains in their hundreds. But I chose a quiet setting showcasing the gorgeous clouds and sky reflected in the ponds on this wonderful Spring day.

The Edge of the World is a fitting name for the rugged region of Tasmania’s desolate northwest coast. Nothing but a small plaque separates you from the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.
Below is a photo of the small plaque.
Looking directly west, the line of sight continues far beyond the horizon. While this point isn’t the westernmost point of Tasmania, it’s a point where if our sight had no physical limit, we’d eventually spot landfall on the east coast of Argentina! In fact, this expanse of sea is the furthest reaching stretch of ocean on the globe.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Hurricane Michael made landfall at 2 pm EDT October 10, 2018 at Mexico Beach, FL with top sustained winds of 260kmh (155 mph) causing catastrophic damage and 43 deaths.
Even 5 weeks later, as we drove through this area, the devastation was unfathomable and left us speechless.
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
The Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, Massachusetts, was built between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the first landfall of the Pilgrims in 1620 and the signing in Provincetown Harbor of the Mayflower Compact. This 252-foot-tall (76.8 m) campanile is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States, and is part of the Provincetown Historic District. From Wikipedia

At Marrawah on Tasmania's north west coast we come across the richest farmland in the country. The green you see here is exactly as it appears. The annual average rainfall in this part of the world is 1092.2 mm.
It is also said that Cape Grim in the top centre of this landscape has the cleanest measured air in the world. The winds that blow across the southern ocean have travelled over no landfall for over 16,000 kms. It is fresh, and the rainwater here is the cleanest imaginable. www.capegrim.com.au/
It's no wonder that Cape Grim Beef is also sought after by restaurants all over the world looking for grass fed and unstressed beef cattle. www.capegrimbeef.com.au/

El lago Argentino es el más grande de la República Argentina y el tercero en Sudamérica. A 185 metros sobre el nivel del mar, tiene una longitud de 125 kilómetros y un ancho máximo que oscila entre los 14 y 20 kilómetros.
El lago se compone de un cuerpo principal y algunas ramificaciones o brazos: brazo Upsala, brazo Norte, brazo Rico y brazo Sur. Estos dos últimos se unen con el espejo principal del lago a través del Canal de los Témpanos, que pasa frente al glaciar Perito Moreno, desagotando allí sus aguas.
La navegación se realiza entre grandiosos témpanos de colores increíbles y se avistan los glaciares Upsala, Spegazzini y la bahía Onelli.
The Argentino lake is the largest of the Argentine Republic and the third in South America. To 185 meters above sea level, has a length of 125 kilometers and a maximum width that varies between 14 and 20 kilometers.
The lake is composed of a main body and some ramifications or arms: arm Upsala, arm North, Brazo Rico and South arm.
These last two are joined with the primary mirror of the lake through the Canal de Los Tempanos, that passes in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, desagotando there its waters. The navigation is done between grandiose icebergs of incredible colors and make landfall glaciers Upsala, Spegazzini and Onelli bay.

This pretty little estuary provides the main drainage for the Point Reyes Peninsula. It eventually terminates in Drake's Bay, the spot where Sir Francis Drake was thought to make landfall in California. Who knows he might even have built that fence.
Happy Fence Friday everyone.

The James Ryan Ltd Retail and Wholesale Distributors buildings are part of the Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
James Ryan Ltd. was established in the Bayley's Cove section of Bonavista in 1857 where it operated a pub as well as a retail store. The main operation was relocated to its present location on Bonavista harbour in 1869 and liquor was only sold in bulk and the fishery became the main focus. The company bought and sold salt cod, supplied salt and other materials for the cod fishery, and sold general merchandise. By 1895 James Ryan Ltd exported 100,000 quintals (approximately 5,000,000 kg) of salt cod, approximately 10% of the total for Newfoundland.James Ryan Ltd. exited the fishing industry in 1952 and continued on as a general store until closing in 1978. In 1987, the Ryan Premises at Bonavista were designated as a National Historic Site. Parks Canada took over the property and it was officially opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II on June 24, 1997 to mark the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's landfall at Bonavista.

A teenage boy in mid-morning today gazes at the fishing boats moored in the sea and the thick dark, grey clouds covering the distant surroundings, 16 hours after Super Typhoon Karding (international name "Noru") made its first landfall in the eastern part of Luzon and just a few hours when it left the landmass of the Philippine largest island towards the West Philippine Sea.
The typhoon, the strongest storm to hit the country this year, weakened after it made its second and last landfall last night. Still its strong winds and rain has forced more than 50,000 people to evacuate to safer shelters.
Early reports also said that the typhoon has caused flooding in many low-lying areas, power outages in several provinces, and huge destruction of agricultural crops.

First time I’ve seen this variation of cloud, very nice to see, the ten-trail looking cloud is Virga. Water droplets that evaporate before landfall
It's been raining all day. Ian has just made landfall between Port Charlotte and Cape Coral Florida. It currently has sustained wind speeds of 150 mph and gusting to 180 mph. The prediction for path has Ian arriving on top of our little city around 2:00 PM EST on Thursday September 29. It's all most certain that we will lose power and internet, and it could be out for days or weeks. Wish me luck and I will see all of you my Flickr friends when we Dig our way out of this mess.
This is an image from last spring’s visit to Prince Edward County. Birding and photographing the northbound migration with my friend Paul was a lot of fun, and included a few lifers. We just locked in some dates in early May, and I am pretty excited. Like our visits to Pelee Island, migration birding in the County can feature waves of birds arriving throughout the morning, making landfall and searching out food.
There continues to be a steady influx of the early migrants here now, despite the snow that continues and the brutal ice storm we had a few days ago. If we are starting to see birds they must be moving well in areas further south.
Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
The Ryan Premises is a National Historic Site of Canada located in the town of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is preserved as an example of a large-scale merchant operation in a Newfoundland outport.
The site consists of the proprietor's house, a carriage shed, a retail shop, a retail store, a fish store and a salt store.

This pretty Furrow Bee has no trouble finding its way on Leatherwood even though that plant hails from Oceania, very far from the Hortus. Eucryphia lucida once went by the name Carpodontos which it had received from Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardière (1755-1834). Labillardière was part of the French expedition sent out to find the lost fleet of 'La Pérouse'. That fleet - which had sailed from Botany Bay into the Blue Unknown in 1788 - was not found. But Labillardière did have the opportunity to 'naturalise' in many places where he made landfall. I've mentioned him often in these pages, e.g. www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/30785668153/in/photoli.... In early 1793 he botanised in Tasmania, not far from Rocky Bay where in late January or early February he came upon our Leatherwood in the shade of a mighty Eucalyptus. In his journal he writes that it 'fasoit l'ornement de ces endroits solitaires'. Indeed, it's an ornament in our own Hortus as well.
Another early morning sitting on the edge of Lake Ontario,and another wave of arriving migrants.
I was sitting on the edge of a small bay off the Lake, watching birds come in and land in a large stand of Willows. Many landed high in the trees, but some dropped down almost immediately. This bird was finding its tree-legs after a long night in the air, and paused in the early sun before launching into the insectivore frenzy that is its first order of business.
The scale and intensity of the migration is very much evident during these peak landfall moments. Dozens of species, all arriving en masse and all worn down, seeking food and warmth. The camera is handy, and opportunities for photography exist more at this point than in the half hour following - when the birds head to the canopy. But the camera still can’t sweep up all of the busyness and confusion and the frankly humbling quality of what is on display in a large scale migration event.
