A view looking east into downtown Austin from the rusted rails of the West 3rd St. Railroad Trestle over Shoal Creek. Constructed in 1925 by the International-Great Northern Railroad as a replacement to an earlier 1876 bridge, the wooden structure is one of the last physical reminders of the rail lines that fueled Austin's rapid development as a regional hub starting in the 1870s. The trestle was last used in the 1990s, and is currently nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
With a population of just over one million residents, Austin is the 10th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, also is the fastest growing large metropolitan area in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

After being nominated by several people here is my SLBareface Challenge 2020 picture.
I guess not that different to my usual pictures anyways as I barely use any makeup except a little eyeliner. My lashes as they are also not that big I kept on, as even without makeup I have some in RL right? But I took off my hair and wrapped it up so the attention is on the face.
Thank you for challenging me and I wish you all an amazing humpday! <3

Felis serval was first described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the following serval zoological specimens were described:
Felis constantina proposed by Georg Forster in 1780 was a specimen from the vicinity of Constantine, Algeria.
Felis servalina proposed by William Ogilby in 1839 was based on one serval skin from Sierra Leone with freckle-sized spots.
Felis brachyura proposed by Johann Andreas Wagner in 1841 was also a serval skin from Sierra Leone.
Felis (Serval) togoensis proposed by Paul Matschie in 1893 were two skins and three skulls from Togo.
Felis servalina pantasticta and F. s. liposticta proposed by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1907 were based on one serval from Entebbe in Uganda with a yellowish fur, and one serval skin from Mombasa in Kenya with dusky spots on its belly.
Felis capensis phillipsi proposed by Glover Morrill Allen in 1914 was a skin and a skeleton of an adult male serval from El Garef at the Blue Nile in Sudan.
The generic name Leptailurus was proposed by Nikolai Severtzov in 1858. The serval is the sole member of this genus.
In 1944, Pocock recognised three serval races in North Africa. Three subspecies are recognised as valid since 2017
L. s. serval, the nominate subspecies, in Southern Africa
L. s. constantina in Central and West Africa
L. s. lipostictus in East Africa
Lagopus muta muta (nominate, french name : Lagopède alpin) - Around Mont de Grange, Upper-Savoy, France
This species being tight to cold climates, it is in the high mountains that it lives all year round in France, over 2000 masl, and it is where I came to find him, around the magnificent Mont de Grange, maybe the wildest mountain around my home.
I had met this bird in this place two years ago, when I was not using a camera, so I came back with a good hope that they might be resident and still here, and thus take a picture.
Indeed two of them were there, feeding on a slope mixing grass and rocks lanslides, its prefered habitat, that compose the background of the picture. They first gave clue of their presence by the so peculiar song, described as "that of a stick being pulled rapidly across the slats of a picket fence", a sort of strange rattle. Then one showed up near the trail, and stay standing a long time, for the best sight I could expect.
This species has the particularity of moulting three times a year, so that it is perfectly camouflaged all year round according to the seasons and the changing colors in its environment. Also, the red comb above the eye is more or less swollen by a blood supply controlled by the bird. During my observation, the size of the eyebrow varied greatly, and was sometimes much more visible than when I took the photo.
The male is completly white during winter when snow covers everything, only the comb remains red, and here it is the breeding plumage. Another adaptation to its life in the snow is found in its tarsi, which are covered with feathers.
It is a fantastic bird, and we enjoy to be close to some individuals during a hike in the most preserved mountains.

RUNSWICK BAY.
We drove through the Cleveland Hills, North-Yorkshire, the weather getting more and more ominous as we got closer to the Heritage Coast, flat light, no detail in the sky, ah well it was going to be 'an outing' of discovery and mental photography...
That's how we came to this beautiful little village, the road ends just before this, I was so enthralled by what I saw, grabbed my stuff, jumped out of the car, ran towards the sea, this was my first shot.
Thank you for all your kindness and as always, thanks for your visits and comments today, M, (*_*)

I was nominated by someone to upload 7 images of places that had meaning to me.
ONE
Taken awhile back!
We'd left Whitby because of the incoming sea mist.
The light gone, not dressed for it on this otherwise lovely summer's day for the cold surprise that suddenly enveloped us, we decided to go inland to capture the sunset.
The road took us passed Robin Hood's Bay.
Now, on that part of the beautiful North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast, you drive along the top of the cliffs, you are high up, it was sunny again, we gave into the temptation and turned in, with Nature, you never know, maybe it was just around Whitby...
You have to park your car above the village and walk down.
Before we arrived there we wanted to let our dog out, I followed the white plume of his tail as he wandered off into a field full of wildflowers, nettles and brambles, to my amazement this was the scene that unfolded in front of my feasting eyes, the mist was already grabbing the church.
I ran for my camera, back just in time for this.
Underneath that thick blanket are the bay and the sea.
By the time Paul got his gear out, that day he had decided on a Hasselblad-day + tripod... everything was covered in mist, yeah, sigh, when you miss it, you miss it!
Hope your day is clear, thanx for viewing, Magda, (*_*)

The adult male of the nominate subspecies, S. e. europaea is 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a 22.5–27 cm (8.9–10.6 in) wingspan. It weighs 17–28 g (0.6–1 oz). It has blue-grey upperparts, a black eye-stripe and whitish throat and underparts. The flanks and lower belly are orange-red, mottled with white on the undertail. The stout bill is dark grey with a paler area on the base of the lower mandible, the iris is dark brown and the legs and feet are pale brown or greyish. Most other members of the S. e. europaea group differ only in detail from the nominate form, often with respect to the hue of the underparts, but S. e. arctica is quite distinctive. It is large, pale, has a white forehead and a reduced eye-stripe, and it has more white in the tail and wings than any other subspecies. Nuthatches move on trees with short leaps, and do not use their tails for support. In flight, they have a characteristic appearance, with a pointed head, round wings and a short, square tail. Their flight is fast, with wings closed between beats, and is usually of short duration.
S. e. caesia, the most widespread of the western subspecies, has orange-buff underparts except for a white throat and cheeks. The other western forms mainly differ in the exact shade of the underparts, although some southeastern forms also show a white forehead and supercilium. S. e. sinensis and S. e. formosana, of China and Taiwan respectively, have buff underparts like the western races, but have buff, instead of white, throats.
The female is similar in appearance to the male, but may be identified by her slightly paler upperparts, a browner eyestripe and a more washed-out tone to the flanks and lower belly. In the eastern form, S. e. asiatica, some males have buff underparts like the female, and birds with this appearance are difficult to sex in the field. Young birds resemble the female, although their plumage is duller and they have paler legs. Individuals can be reliably sexed as female from about 12 days old by their paler and buffer flanks, or, in some white-breasted subspecies, by the creamier hue of their underparts.
Adults have a complete moult after breeding which takes about 80 days, starting from late May onwards and finishing by late September. The moult period for Siberian birds is more compressed, running from June to mid-September. Fledged juveniles moult some of their wing coverts when they are about eight weeks old.
In much of its range, Eurasian is the only nuthatch present. In southeast Europe and southwest Asia, the western and eastern rock nuthatches are larger and paler than the Eurasian species. They also lack white spots in the tail and are usually found in a different, stony habitat, and Krüper's nuthatch is small and has a black cap and reddish breast patch. In southwest China, the chestnut-vented nuthatch is very similar to the European bird, but is darker above, has less white on the face and has greyer underparts.

I was nominated , the world through my eyes.
FOUR.
I am a sensitive realists who through photography escapes from reality, by capturing real moments in time.
That is how I see the world.
The cathedral like trees, dappled light, and again, the silence only broken by a bumblebee, a bird, a distant moo, the shutter of the camera.
This is ZEN.
Hope your day is filled with smiles and thank you,,M, (*_*)

Fragment of us
Fragment of Us is a short documentary set inside a virtual world, observing a 21-day period of connection between two people through their avatars. The film considers how experiences that might take a lifetime in physical life can unfold repeatedly and rapidly online, yet carry the same emotional weight. By documenting this compressed cycle, it questions why intimacy, attachment, and loss remain just as real when lived digitally, even as the environment allows them to begin again
The adult male of the nominate subspecies, S. e. europaea is 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a 22.5–27 cm (8.9–10.6 in) wingspan. It weighs 17–28 g (0.6–1 oz).

The nominate White Wagtail - Motacilla alba alba – is found over most of Europe. The Pied Wagtail is the subspecies that occurs, primarily, in the UK and Ireland - Motacilla alba yarrellii.
This male White Wagtail in summer breeding plumage was seen on a fence post in the stunning Tyrol mountains near Seefeld in Austria.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_chiffchaff
Siberian chiffchaff (Phylloscopus (collybita) tristis) is a leaf-warbler which is usually considered a subspecies of the common chiffchaff, but may be a species in its own right.
Range
Siberian chiffchaff breeds in Siberia east of the Pechora River and winters in the lower Himalayas.[1]
Status in Europe and North America
It is also regularly recorded in western Europe in winter, and it is likely that the numbers involved have been underestimated due to uncertainties over identification criteria, lack of good data and recording policies (Sweden and Finland only accept trapped birds).[2]
Because of their unfamiliar appearance, British records in the 1950s and 1960s were originally thought to be greenish warblers, and accepted as such by BBRC, the national rarities committee, until the records were reviewed in the 1980s.[3]
A Gambell, AK bird discovered by Alexander Lin-Moore and Ethan Goodman on June 5, 2015 and seen by many birders would be the 4th (or 5th?) reported in North America.[4]
Appearance and vocalisations
It is a dull bird, grey or brownish above and whitish below, with little yellow in the plumage, and the buff-white supercilium is often longer than in the western subspecies. It has a higher pitched suitsistsuisit song and a short high-pitched cheet call.[5] It is sometimes considered to be a full species due to its distinctive plumage and vocalisations, being similar to P. s. sindianus in these respects.[6][7]
Taxonomy[edit]
Common chiffchaffs (of the nominate race) and Siberian chiffchaffs do not recognize each other's songs.[8][9] Pending resolution of the status of the form fulvescens, which is found where the ranges of common chiffchaff (of the race abietinus) and Siberian chiffchaff connect and may[10] or may not[9] be a hybrid between these, tristis is maintained in P. collybita by most checklists.[11]

I wanted to make a post like this for some time now but I always lacked the time. However NOW is the time! There have been so many comments and people supporting me lately. Not just when it comes to photography but also in my relationship with Raven you were cheering on me and supporting me through difficult and happy times. I want to thank you with all of my heart, especially those who follow me since the very beginning, when I started photography and had no idea about windlights, alpha maps or depth maps - also thank you to those who recently found my flickr and support me now. It means a whole lot to me and I am amazed by your loyalty and sincerity. Thank you for cheering on me all the way. You are amazing! Your words keep me going and put the biggest smile on my face. Honestly, Raven even makes fun of me when I answer my comments on facebook and flickr because I keep on smiling and chuckling in excitement the entire time. I never thought that I'd come that far with my photography and I'm thankful for everyone who held my hand throughout all this time and watched me grow. Thank you to all my Mentors (who might not even know that they are my mentors haha) and guided me throughout all these years ~ your amazing tips or even just watching your work from a distance helped me more than I can say. Last but not least: Thank you to my friends and family. I am blessed to have you in my life. My favorite people - you mean everything to me! ♡
Ah, sorry this was a long post. If you are still reading then please stop - just kidding! I'm grateful for your support and truly appreciate it! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you! ♡
