A huge flock of plovers (and a few gulls too) suddenly take off, circle around and then settle again.

Had a day, first booked back on 2019, with Steve Race and the gannets. Amazing experience I'd fully recommend.
The Cathedral of St Andrew (often referred to as St Andrews Cathedral) is a ruined cathedral in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. It was built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. It fell into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th-century Scottish Reformation. It is currently a monument in the custody of Historic Environment Scotland. The ruins indicate that the building was approximately 119 m long, and is the largest church to have been built in Scotland.
The cathedral was founded to supply more accommodation than the older church of St. Regulus (St. Rule) afforded. This older church, located on what became the cathedral grounds, had been built in the Romanesque style. Today, there remains the square tower, 33 metres high, and the quire, of very diminutive proportions. On a plan of the town from about 1531, a chancel appears, and seals affixed to the city and college charters bear representations of other buildings attached. To the east is an even older religious site, the Church of St Mary on the Rock, the Culdee house that became a Collegiate Church.
Work began on the new cathedral in 1158 and continued for over a century. The west end was blown down in a storm and rebuilt between 1272 and 1279. The cathedral was finally completed in 1318 and featured a central tower and six turrets; of these remain two at the east and one of the two at the western extremity, rising to a height of 30 metres. On the 5th of July it was consecrated in the presence of King Robert the Bruce, who, according to legend, rode up the aisle on his horse.
A fire partly destroyed the building in 1378; restoration and further embellishment were completed in 1440.
The cathedral was served by a community of Augustinian Canons, the St Andrews Cathedral Priory, which were successors to the Culdees of the Celtic church.
Greyfriar (Franciscan) and Blackfriar (Dominican) friars had properties in the town by the late 15th century and possibly as late as 1518.
The St Andrews Sarcophagus.
In June 1559 during the Reformation, a Protestant mob incited by the preaching of John Knox ransacked the cathedral; the interior of the building was destroyed. The cathedral fell into decline following the attack and became a source of building material for the town. By 1561 it had been abandoned and left to fall into ruin.
At about the end of the sixteenth century the central tower apparently gave way, carrying with it the north wall. Afterwards large portions of the ruins were taken away for building purposes, and nothing was done to preserve them until 1826. Since then it has been tended with scrupulous care, an interesting feature being the cutting out of the ground-plan in the turf. The principal portions extant, partly Norman and partly Early Scottish, are the east and west gables, the greater part of the south wall of the nave and the west wall of the south transept.
At the end of the seventeenth century some of the priory buildings remained entire and considerable remains of others existed, but nearly all traces have now disappeared except portions of the priory wall and the archways, known as The Pends.

"Es ist nicht nötig jemanden zu schlagen, um ihn weh zu tun:
Ein Wort tut weh ...
Schweigen tut weh ...
Verrat tut weh ...
Verachtung tut weh ...
Gleichgültigkeit tut weh ...!
Stoppt Mobbing!
"It is not necessary to hit someone to hurt them:
One word hurts...
Silence hurts...
Betrayal hurts...
Contempt hurts...
Indifference hurts ...!
Stop mobbing!
...at Pulborough Brooks.
The shot doesn't really show the speed and ferocity of the mobbing being done by the lapwing. This was the first pass by the lapwing; after two more, the Heron didn't even bother reacting, and the Lapwing soon gave up.

This unfortunate juvenile Red-tailed Hawk learned that he was not welcomed by the Grackles when he landed nearby.

Rob Roy Hill Climb, Smiths Gully, Victoria, Australia
Rob Roy shares the distinction with Shelsley Walsh and Prescott (UK) of being one of the only specially designed bitumen surface hillclimbs in the world. Its origins go back to 1935, when representatives from the then Light Car Club of Australia inspected the property known as Clinton's Pleasure Grounds with a view to establishing a suitable venue for the hillclimb meetings.
Snapshot taken from my video
I bumped up the contrast and added some darkness to this photo. I wanted to do something different with my nature photos and evoke a sense of unease.
Die MOB war, ist und bleibt spannend. In jeder Epoche gibt es wieder fotografische Leckerbissen.
Darunter gehört für mich auch der "neue alte" Anstrich, den die Fahrzeuge nun fortlaufend erhalten und an den früheren Crystal Panoramic Express erinnert. Da für den geplanten, umspurbaren Pendelzug eine neue Kupplung eingeführt wurde, hatte dies nun zur Folge, dass die Züge wieder stilreiner im jeweiligen Erscheinungsbild wurden.
Auch wild durchgewürfelt werden die Umlaufpläne. So verkehrt diese Komposition heute bereits nicht mehr in dieser Fahrlage, welche für dieses Motiv ideal war.
So rollte hier am Morgen des 25. Juli 2019 der Zug Gstaad entgegen, für dessen Menuhin Festival der klassischen Musik die Lok 8004 wirbt.
Auch glücklich schätzen kann man, dass hier relativ früh die Otth und Allioth Holzfahrleitungsmasten durch eine modernere, damals noch windschiefe Fahrleitung ersetzt wurde. Nicht auszudenken wie es aussähe, würde die heute jeweils gebaute Fahrleitung hier stehen.
