On many hikes and camping trips to this rugged area, I think about a quote, by Bob Underwood; “On your hike two entities will see you, God and Linville Gorge. If you bite off more than you can chew, God will forgive you. Linville Gorge will not." Linville Gorge is a beautiful area, with many steep trails, some that are near sheer drops of several hundred feet, gets several hikers each year in to a lot of pain and trouble. But the experience is worth the risk, if you use common sense and care…

The adult humpback whale is generally 14–15 m (46–49 ft) long, though individuals up to 16–17 m (52–56 ft) long have been recorded. Females are usually 1–1.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 4 ft 11 in) longer than males.
The species can reach body masses of 40 metric tons (44 short tons). Calves are born at around 4.3 m (14 ft) long with a mass of 680 kg (1,500 lb)] The species has a bulky body with a thin rostrum and proportionally long flippers, each around one-third of its body length.[14][15] It has a short dorsal fin that varies from nearly nonexistent to somewhat long and curved.
Like other rorquals, the humpback has grooves between the tip of the lower jaw and the navel. The grooves are relatively few in number in this species, ranging from 14 to 35. The upper jaw is lined with baleen plates, which number 540–800 in total and are black in color.
The dorsal or upper side of the animal is generally black; the ventral or underside has various levels of black and white coloration. Whales in the southern hemisphere tend to have more white pigmentation. The flippers can vary from all-white to white only on the undersurface. Some individuals may be all white, notably Migaloo who is a true albino. The varying color patterns and scars on the tail flukes distinguish individual animals.[
The end of the genital slit of the female is marked by a round feature, known as the hemispherical lobe, which visually distinguishes males and females.[15][19]
Unique among large whales, humpbacks have bumps or tubercles on the head and front edge of the flippers; the tail fluke has a jagged trailing edge. The tubercles on the head are 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) thick at the base and protrude up to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).
They are mostly hollow in the center, often containing at least one fragile hair that erupts 1–3 cm (0.39–1.18 in) from the skin and is 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) thick. The tubercles develop early in gestation and may have a sensory function, as they are rich in nerves. Sensory nerve cells in the skin are adapted to withstand the high water pressure of diving.
In one study, a humpback whale brain measured 22.4 cm (8.8 in) long and 18 cm (7.1 in) wide at the tips of the temporal lobes, and weighed around 4.6 kg (10 lb). The humpback's brain has a complexity similar to that of the brains of smaller whales and dolphins.
The structure of the eye indicates that eyesight is relatively poor, being only able to see silhouettes over long distances and finer details relatively close. Computer models of the middle ear suggest that the humpback can hear at frequencies between 15 Hz and 3 kHz "when stimulated at the tympanic membrane", and between 200 Hz and 9 kHz "if stimulated at the thinner region of the tympanic bone adjacent to the tympanic membrane". These ranges are consistent with their vocalization ranges.
As in all cetaceans, the respiratory tract of the humpback whale is connected to the blowholes and not to the mouth, although the species appears to be able to unlock the epiglottis and larynx and move them towards the oral cavity, allowing humpbacks to blow bubbles from their mouths. The vocal folds of the humpback are more horizontally positioned than those of land mammals which allows them to produce underwater calls. These calls are amplified by a laryngeal sac.

Autumn on the Jitong Railway and QJs 6905 and 7040 are on the second level of the looping climb above Reshui on the Jinpeng section of the line. The line will soon pass through a curving tunnel to emerge directly behind and almost level with me. The line can be seen approaching Reshui and crossing the river on a long viaduct before swinging away along the first level.
Pett Levels again on the east Sussex coast and again two images put together in PS one of the sky and the other of the beach! I love the light on the sand and those fabulous ripples, All these series of shots were taken on the same evening and they all can be cropped in various ways to get an entirely different image ! Went with my dear friend Jan ( jankmarshall ) who is also on flickr!
TGIF, righ? We rolled out of bed slowly this morning, I think it’s this weather! But energy levels are going up as we speak. Have some celebrities tonight, than we are out till Monday. For now I will leave you with this minimal frame of our town. What do you think?
Tangara vitriolina (Scrub tanager)
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
Though quite drab relative to the other members of this spectacular genus, the Scrub Tanager is still attractive and identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

This is my submission for the Macro Mondays theme Imperfection. This spirit level is imperfect in so many ways: it isn't level, the glass is broken and there are too many dirt spots to count. HMM
On Thursday (22 April 2021) I had a lovely day out with ianbartlett. We parked at Pett Level, walked west towards Hastings and then east towards Rye. It was a lovely sunny day, but the wind made it chilly at times.
Loved watching these graceful birds forage in the shallow ponds of Merced National Wildlife Refuge. They close their eyes the closer they get to the water level.
Not a euphemism for something nasty but a very quiet spot on the Levels. I walk there quite often and rarely see another soul.
56096 in charge again on what now seems to be a single loco duty for the Shrewsbury - Holyhead section of the 3S71 railhead treatment train. The ground signal controls access for the little used triangle since the demise of the Flask train workings.
A Sea Level shot of the Costa Mediterranea at anchor in Kirkwall Bay, Orkney.
A windy day with winds gusting 35-40kts at times, a real taste of what a summer day is like for the tourists.

The water level of the American River is incredibly high this spring, with just barely a few rocks poking up through the surface in the incredible current. Using a 10-stop ND filter under bright sunlight, a long exposure abstract of the wave forms. www.optimalfocusphotography.com
