The remains of an old tree lying in the snow near Kirkettle Farm. (Another shot of one I posted already but this has more blue sky and less falling snow.) It once stood proudly on its own along a fence line, the wind was always going to have the last word.

For all my friends : have a wonderful weekend.

Marles Sands in February

Death Valley is a desert valley in Eastern California, in the northern Mojave Desert, bordering the Great Basin Desert. It is thought to be the hottest place on Earth during summer. Death Valley is home to the Timbisha tribe of Native Americans, formerly known as the Panamint Shoshone, who have inhabited the valley for at least the past millennium.

Death Valley's Badwater Basin is the point of lowest elevation in North America, at 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. It is 84.6 miles (136.2 km) east-southeast of Mount Whitney — the highest point in the contiguous United States, with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m). On the afternoon of July 10, 1913, the United States Weather Bureau recorded a high temperature of 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, which stands as the highest ambient air temperature ever recorded on the surface of the Earth. This reading, however, and several others taken in that period are disputed by some modern experts.

Lying mostly in Inyo County, California, near the border of California and Nevada, in the Great Basin, east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley constitutes much of Death Valley National Park and is the principal feature of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve. It runs from north to south between the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west. The Grapevine Mountains and the Owlshead Mountains form its northern and southern boundaries, respectively. It has an area of about 3,000 sq mi. The highest point in Death Valley National Park is Telescope Peak, in the Panamint Range, which has an elevation of 11,043 feet.

With low lying fog and wildflowers not quite in bloom I felt fortunate enough to get a sunset to shoot. With the small gap on the horizon that allowed the sun to burst through, I chose to go super LE to bring out as much as I could.

I used my CPL and 10 stop ND filter.

A pair of Carolina Wrens, Thryothorus ludovicianus, took a liking to a decoration my wife hung on the door to our garage--a half-bucket filled with realistic faux tulips stuck into styrofoam. The Wrens excavated the styrofoam to hollow out a space for eggs, making a mess outside but apparently a suitable interior. When we realized they were serious about staying, I moved the bucket from the door to a hook on the side of the garage. A little less protected from the weather, but much less in danger of shocks from humans going in and out of the garage. The wrens were confused for an hour, but found the new location and stuck with it. As it turns out, during the current unpleasantness we don't go anywhere anyway, so I could have left it on the door.

Now the parental pair makes continuous trips to feed the 3 chicks, bringing bugs & worms from all over. This morning as I sat on the patio, one of the parents came by and jumped from chair to chair, pausing as if to say, "Who do you think you are, poking that big lens at my 3 chicks?"

 

#IStayHome Theme for Flickr Friday

Deeply appreciate Flickr Friday for choosing this photo for their gallery. Very timely theme. Wishing you all expeditious safe release from captivity!

In the midst of a world marred by human-induced pollution, there exists an unexpected majesty, a resilient reminder of nature's enduring spirit—the birds. These humble waterfowl, with their graceful glide across polluted waters, embody a tenacity that defies the challenges of their environment. They paddle through the debris-strewn ponds and navigate the murky rivers, their feathers unruffled by the disregard of the world around them.

 

Their majesty lies not only in their ability to endure but also in the grace with which they adapt. They are a symbol of nature's unwavering determination to persist, to find a way forward amidst adversity. Amidst the plastic waste and polluted waters, they carry on, foraging for sustenance and raising their young. Their quacks, once echoing across pristine lakes, now resonate as a testament to nature's resilience.

 

In these feathered beings, we find an important lesson—a reminder that even in a world scarred by our actions, the majesty of nature endures. With their simple elegance and unyielding spirit, they inspire hope that if we, as stewards of the Earth, can take responsibility for our actions and work to heal the wounds we've inflicted, we can restore the majesty of nature's creations.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away

The Under-The-Hill Historic District along Silver Street lies just below the Natchez Bluffs in Natchez Mississippi. This area was frequented by gamblers, river pirates, highwaymen and prostitutes in the early 19th century and was once described as "the most licentious spot on the Mississippi River." Natchez is a port city located on the lower Mississippi River in Mississippi. Print Size 13x19 inches.

OK, actually, I lied about that bit...

Lying within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to ours 158,000 light years away in the constellation of Doradus, this nebula complex presents a Ha and OIII rich tapestry of colourful nebulae and star clusters. Data was gathered over multiple nights in a moonless sky for a total of 17 hours of total exposure time.

 

This is a natural colour palette image (I.e. an LRGB image augmented with Ha and OIII narrow band data).

 

NGC 2011: is a Open Cluster

NGC 2014: is a HII emission nebula surrounding an open cluster of stars. Along with NGC 2020 it makes up what is called the Cosmic Reef.

NGC 2020: an Oxygen emission structure erupting from a single central Wolf-Rayet star. Along with NGC 2014 it makes up what is called the Cosmic Reef.

NGC 2021: is a Open Cluster

NGC 2029 / 2030 is a HII Ionized region and is listed as part of Lucke-Hodge stellar association 82, along with NGC 2032 and 2035. NOTE: The coordinates for NGC 2029 and NGC 2030 were reversed between Herschel's original Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars and the New General Catalogue. Consequently, there is much confusion over what designation the object in this image should get. Depending on which source you look at, it could be either. Most images I've seen indicate 2030 as the correct catalogue number. However, I'm still confused.

NGC 2032: is an emission nebula and consists of NGC 2029, NGC 2035 and NGC 2040.

NGC 2035: is part of a complex of nebulae and stars, including NGC 2032 and NGC 2040. It consists of large bright gas clouds which are separated by dark dust clouds. NGC 2029, NGC 2032 and NGC 2035 are star-forming regions

NGC 2040: is a supernova remnant which contains an open cluster whose stars have a common origin and are drifting together through space. There are three different types of stellar associations defined by their stellar properties. NGC 2040 is an OB association, a grouping that usually contains 10–100 stars of type O and B — these are high-mass stars that have short but brilliant lives.

NMBS Desiro stel 08092 rijdt net Lier uit voor de verdere rit Antwerpen Centraal

This part of the rugged north Cornish coast is known as Bedruthan Steps and lies between Newquay and Trevose Head. The name is said to be taken from a mythological giant called 'Bedruthan' who used the rock stacks as stepping stones, and seems to be a late nineteenth century invention for Victorian tourists. The first written record of the name is from the West Briton newspaper in February 1847 and is more likely to refer to one of two cliff staircases used by miners to get to the mine workings below.

 

The surrounding land at the southern end - behind the camera - is owned by the National Trust, where there is a headland known as Carnewas Island. Here there is a National Trust car park and shop.

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།

 

The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

Beneath the sunlit African skies,

Where golden savannas stretch and rise,

A gentle shadow graces the land,

The Kudu walks, so noble, so grand.

 

With spiral horns like stories untold,

Crowning a creature both brave and bold,

Its coat, a canvas of stripes and hues,

Blends with the earth in camouflaged views.

 

Through acacia groves and bushy terrain,

It strides in silence, proud and contained.

A symbol of grace, a guardian's dream,

A fleeting whisper by a forest stream.

 

Eyes like the dusk, deep pools of care,

Reflecting the wild, untamed and rare.

The heartbeat of Africa beats in its chest,

In the Kudu’s stride, nature's best.

 

By moonlight’s glow or sun's warm kiss,

It lives in balance, a world of bliss.

A keeper of secrets, ancient and wise,

The Kudu stands where wilderness lies.

 

Oh, Kudu, spirit of the land,

Forever wild, forever grand.

Through your beauty, the wild survives,

A living treasure where nature thrives.

   

Here he is my second dream))

I've been looking for this place long time and finally I found it. But there was a second problem The weather was not suitable for this image

I waited a week and then came the fog I realized it's time to shoot, I tried to keep the fog and atmosphere just like I saw in a dream, and I think I did it))

 

I even came up with a little story!

Perhaps you now look at this image and think, his hands are not tied why he can not free himself?

I tell you why)))

He tied himself, all that he had read was a lie, and that's why he decided to burn them, and he with them.

He refused to see the truth, he just could not see it his eyes were tied up with lies.

He preferred death with his favorite books, he could not live without them.

Lie destroyed him.

To get a good shot of highland cows you need to get low. Very low. In fact, really you need to lie down.

 

And you need to get close, very close...

To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong

To love pure and chaste from afar

To try when your arms are too weary

To reach the unreachable star

 

This is my quest

To follow that star

No matter how hopeless

No matter how far

 

To fight for the right

Without question or pause

To be willing to march into Hell

For a heavenly cause

 

And I know if I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my heart will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest

 

And the world will be better for this

That one man, scorned and covered with scars

Still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

 

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

I'll never look into your eyes...again

 

Can you picture what will be

So limitless and free

Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand

In a...desperate land

 

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane

All the children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

 

There's danger on the edge of town

Ride the King's highway, baby

Weird scenes inside the gold mine

Ride the highway west, baby

 

Ride the snake, ride the snake

To the lake, the ancient lake, baby

The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

 

The west is the best

The west is the best

Get here, and we'll do the rest

 

The blue bus is callin' us

The blue bus is callin' us

Driver, where you taken' us

 

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on

He took a face from the ancient gallery

And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he

Paid a visit to his brother, and then he

He walked on down the hall, and

And he came to a door...and he looked inside

Father, yes son, I want to kill you

Mother...I want to...fuck you

 

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

And meet me at the back of the blue bus

Doin' a blue rock

On a blue bus

Doin' a blue rock

C'mon, yeah

 

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

 

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

 

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

 

This is the end
