Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.

I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!
Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?

La Santa Capilla de la Virgen de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza es un templete barroco construido por Ventura Rodríguez entre 1750 y 1765 en el interior de la Basílica del Pilar para alojar la columna (el «pilar») sobre la que, según la tradición, se apareció María a Santiago en el año 40, y la imagen de la Virgen que sostiene.
La capilla que diseñó Ventura Rodríguez como joyel que realzara la imagen de la Virgen, supuso una de las obras maestras de la arquitectura barroca española. En ella, con materiales de gran nobleza, se da una completa integración de la escultura y la arquitectura. Dirigió las obras José Ramírez de Arellano —artífice también de los grupos escultóricos del interior—, ya que Ventura Rodríguez solo estuvo en El Pilar en dos ocasiones.
El espacio está concebido como un baldaquino dentro del templo y está situado bajo el segundo tramo de la nave central. La planta es curvilínea de cruz griega de remates redondeados en planta, cubierta por una cúpula central elíptica, sobre un entablamento que discurre sinuoso en una línea de cuatro lóbulos. La cubierta se perfora en transparentes que dejan pasar la luz y se adorna todo el conjunto con esculturas exentas en las cornisas y grupos escultóricos en relieve según un programa que incluye la necesidad de realzar la camarilla de la Virgen, situada fuera del eje a la derecha del espectador. Los juegos de curvas y volúmenes están en deuda con la obra de Bernini y Borromini, con la arquitectura bizantina, el rococó y el neoclasicismo.
Scientific name: Riparia riparia.

A female garden sunbird (cinnyris jugularis) gathering nesting material from the fibrous growth on a tree trunk. Photographed in Ban Khlong Sai, Krabi, Thailand.
A trio of my favourite things; peeling paint, antique wooden chairs and a random metal carriage wheel. Yes, I’m strange…
This was another sign of spring this week. The squirrel had quite the mouthful of nesting material. Happy Fence Friday!

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.

1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!
Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.
Model 48 and the Durant years
The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.
A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.
In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.
" We live for this emptiness feeling of pleasure
We get so sick
We’re happiest under the weather
Poison in our veins
Dying for a taste
‘Cause we’re birds of a feather
So we suffer together
The end is where we all begin
We die for the feeling
Nothing to believe in
Put a gun against your head
Pull the trigger join the trend
We live for the sickness
Obsessed and addicted
We’re all dying just to be
Part of a new disease
A new disease is what we want but what we do instead
Is dream up demons that feed on us til there’s nothing left
And we believe it that we’re feeling the best
When the guns are pressed against our heads
We’re on a fast track looking for another condition
But now we’re half passed dead with a fucking addiction
We got bad habits and we’re always pushing the limits
Just to mask that madness of loving the sickness
The end is where we all begin
We die for the feeling
Nothing to believe in
Put a gun against your head
Pull the trigger join the trend
We live for the sickness
Obsessed and addicted
We’re all dying just to be
Part of a new disease
We wanna feel the sickness
We wanna lose control
We feed our new addiction
Until we overdose
Yeah, we feed our new addiction
Until we overdose
The end is where we all begin
We die for the feeling
Nothing to believe in
Put a gun against your head
Pull the trigger join the trend
We live for the sickness
Obsessed and addicted
We’re all dying just to be
Part of a new disease ... "

It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.
