COLIJNSPLAAT (Neth.) - View of the Zeeland Bridge. It is the longest (more than 5 Km / 3.1 Miles) bridge in the Netherlands. The bridge crosses the Oosterschelde estuary. It joins the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in Zeeland. The Zeeland Bridge took two years to build between 1963 and 1965.

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
River Skjálfandafljót, the fourth longest river of Iceland, runs within a wonderful canyon, often formed from columnar basalt. Here we see the river right after forming Godafoss waterfall as it continues its flow along the river canyon.

This historical bridge know as Locust Bridge, also called the Linn County Bridge, the covered bridge is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Laclede. At a length of 151 feet (46 m) with a width of 16 ft 8 in (5.08 m) it is the longest of the four remaining covered bridges in the state of Missouri. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. In August 1868, a contract was awarded by the Linn County Commissioners to Bishop & Eaton for a bridge across Locust Creek, with the cost not to exceed 5,500 dollars.[5] The structure is a Howe truss, constructed of white pine. Vertical iron rods tightly secure diagonal wooden beams to the bottom and top of the structure.[3] In addition to its utilitarian function, over time the bridge was a hangout for locals with some proclaiming their love for one another and their presence at the bridge with carvings along the bridge's internal walls. As a popular fishing and swimming spot, the bridge was visited by John J. Pershing; his boyhood home and the state park bearing his name are nearby. (Missouri Dept of Nat. Res.)
The water course that used to run under this bridge has migrated about a half mile to the west of this structure. It is a beautiful piece of historical architecture from an era of craftsmanship gone by.
I love these handsome and unique warblers.
Fun Facts:
Blackpoll Warblers hold the record for the longest overwater flight for a songbird. Using a tiny light level geolocator biologists have proven that Blackpoll Warblers fly an average of 2540 km (1800 miles) non-stop over an average of 62 hours, up to 3 days, corresponding to about 41 km/h. They fly ovver the Atlantic Ocean to reach their wintering grounds in Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, and South America.
The birds in Alaska fly the farthest of any of the Blackpoll Warblers to reach their breeding grounds and actually have developed longer wings to help them get to their wintering grounds faster. Check out my new blog at daretobird.blogspot.com
On Solstice night, the winter comes
Stalking through the antlered trees,
Riding on the frozen wind.
With hoof and horn, this longest night
Brings round once more
The ancient, endless joust:
Light and Dark contest for power,
And Light, this night, shall triumph.

The Zeeland Bridge (Dutch: Zeelandbrug) is the longest bridge in the Netherlands. The bridge spans the Eastern Scheldt estuary. It connects the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in the province of Zeeland.
The Zeeland Bridge was built between 1963 and 1965. It was inaugurated on 15 December 1965 by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and was originally called Eastern Scheldt Bridge (Dutch: Oosterscheldebrug) before being renamed the Zealand Bridge on 13 April 1967.
At the time of its completion, it was the longest bridge in Europe. It has a total length of 5,022 metres, and consists of 48 spans of 95 metres, 2 spans of 72.5 metres and a movable bridge with a width of 40 metres.
I'm wishing you all a very nice weekend (in advance) ;-)

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body, baby
From dusk 'til dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your

As the second longest river in the UK, the Thames has historically been the major line of communication, transportation, and nourishment for not only London, but seven different counties in England. As a great provider for the English people, it's no surprise that the water source has the nickname ''Old Father Thames.

Cissopis leverianus (Magpie tanager / Tángara urraca)
I think this photo holds the record for the highest elevation above sea level where this bird has been seen. It is usually found in warm places at low altitude.
The magpie tanager (Cissopis leveriana) is a South American species of tanager. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Cissopis. As suggested by its common name, this blue-black and white species is superficially reminiscent of a European magpie. With a total length of 25–30 cm (10–12 in), a large percentage of which is tail, it is the longest species of tanager. It weighs 69-76 g.
It is widespread in humid tropical and subtropical woodland, plantations, second growth, and parks in South America east of the Andes. It is largely restricted to lowlands, but occurs up to an altitude of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) on the east Andean slopes.
This is one of the longest migrating raptors in the planet. The annual migration covers around 22,000 Km - 30,000 km / 14-18,000 miles starting from Siberia / Northern Mongolia to India and onward to South Africa. From the coasts of India, they fly over the sea to Africa covering around 3-4000 kms nonstop without touching the ground for 5-6 days.
The birds are making a stopover briefly at a hill station near Mumbai for a couple of weeks and 100's of bird lovers like me make a visit to watch them and get some pictures.
These falcons seem to prefer these wild lavender fields where they hunt for insects and caterpillars. They spend sometime in them walking around and looking for insects. Such fields are spread over the lakebed and the birds keep flying between them.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Last "est" (for now). The muskox has the longest hair of any North American mammal. Or as Bernie put it, it's the shaggiest. Another "est" that the muskox can boast...their underlayer of fur (called qiviut) is the warmest natural fiber...eight times warmer than wool.
This bull was photographed on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska.
It was the longest time that I waited for taking a sunset photo…I found the right place around 2 p.m. in Riomaggiore…As this is very touristic village, I decided to wait all afternoon long to keep this place…I was right…There were around 200 people around waiting for this great sunset…I’m glad that there are many sunset lovers in this universe…So, it was around 11p.m. when I finished my photo taking session…A little bit late for the great Italian dinner, but it’s worth it…;) BeNowMeHere, Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italy, 2015 via 500px ift.tt/1NbcDjH
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line.

Yes - summer has arrived (not)!
Actually I was pleased it was so cloudy today when I decided to go on a photo shoot - there's something about Norwegian clouds I can't resist!
The picture is taken at the end off Sognefjorden, which is Europe`s longest fjord. The place is called Skjolden and is in the municipality of Luster. Around the fjord there are tall mountains and you will also find Norways biggest glacier. The picture was taken a few days ago during heavy rainfall.

This autumn feels like funeral to me
The longest song of grief
And not for what has passed
But for what shall last… Tatiana Shmailyuk
This is a "rework" of one of my favourite panos from Western Australia... the Busselton Jetty, which is the longest jetty in Australia at over 1.8 km long. It's also the second longest wooden jetty in the world...
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Fraser River Pathway
British Columbia
Canada
The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 cu mi) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
The river is named after Simon Fraser, who led an expedition in 1808 on behalf of the North West Company.

Described as the longest-lived butterfly in North America living as long as eleven to eighteen months. Unlike most other butterfly species the Mourning Cloak spends most of its life as an adult butterfly (not larva or egg).
It is most often seen in early Spring because it survives the harsh winter months as an adult. Spring is the most likely time to see it basking in the sun and defending its territory against intruders (such as a photographer). It is not attracted to flowers, but loves to land on your head or your outstretched arm and stays there for a while.
During the hot summer months the Mourning Cloak disappears, estivating to preserve energy, hiding in tree cavities and in other sheltered places. They have only one brood. It is always a very lucky day to see a freshly minted individual during the early summer months.
Sunset at 35,000 feet on the longest day. June 21, 2023 was Summer Solstice, this is the day with the most hours of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere. At ground level the sun had already set. At 35,000 feet the sun was still visible above the horizon, providing sunlight even longer.
