Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.
Normal is boring.

Una luz turbadora, me atrae,
me aprisiona.
A veces puedo salir.
Salgo y vivo mi vida normal.
¿La vida es normal?
¿Quién lleva una vida normal?
Aquel mendigo que duerme en el portal,
¿lleva una vida normal?
La señora de los rulos de lunes,
¿lleva una vida normal?
Cada vida es normal y anormal.
Cada vida esta hecha para ser vivida anormalmente
Deseo una luz con penumbra.
Una luz con sueño.
¿Una luz con sombras?
¿Sombras?
The road to a new normal is a race won with perseverance and prayer, not speed . The one who finds the spiritual discipline to realize that he or she cannot do this on their own is the one who will find the strength of the one who is, who was, and who will be. In letting go and trusting our Creator to be our dragonslayer we will overcome what seems unsurmountable. In plain english, when we are weak, our Creator’s strength can be made visible. Turtle on my fellow travelers! 7/25/21

I'd like to let you know that I'll be interrupting my virtual journey through time and around the world for a few weeks, as I'm embarking on a real trip tomorrow.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Thailand, where I'll be staying until the second week of October.
Until then, I'll be sharing photos from home. Like this one of a beautiful sunrise in the Königsbrueck Heather in Saxony, not far from Dresden. The photo is two years old, but was taken around the same time of year. So, things should look similar here at the moment.
As for the next three and a half weeks, I don't yet know how much I'll post here, because this trip isn't a normal vacation for me.
Instead, this stay will also serve as a time to prepare my emigration plans for next year.
Ich möchte Euch mitteilen, dass ich meine virtuelle Reise durch die Zeit und durch die Welt für ein paar Wochen unterbrechen werde, da ich mich morgen auf eine echte Reise begeben werde.
Und zwar mache ich mich morgen früh auf nach Thailand, wo ich bis zur zweiten Woche im Oktober bleiben werde.
Bis es soweit ist, zeige ich Fotos aus der Heimat. Wie dieses hier von einem wunderschönen Sonnenaufgang in der Königsbrücker Heide in Sachsen unweit von Dresden. Das Foto ist zwar schon zwei Jahre alt entstand jedoch ungefähr zum selben Zeitpunkt im Jahr. Im Augenblick müsste es hier also ähnlich aussehen.
Was die nächsten drei einhalb Wochen anbelangt so weiß ich noch nicht, wie viel ich hier posten werde, denn diese Reise ist kein normaler Urlaub für mich.
Stattdessen dient der Aufenthalt auch der Vorbereitung meiner Auswanderungspläne im kommenden Jahr.

Demogorgons are pretty strange. Kids falling in love shouldn't be.

The morning calm was enhanced by a fairly heavy fog along the coast. When I saw that, I did the normal thing and grabbed the camera.
This scene is from Champney's Cove, a quiet and quaint area. The small boat floating on the flat water looked like a fitting subject, so I headed down to the beach. After stopping here, I moved on to other locations, including this spot I posted a photo of already: www.flickr.com/photos/40724294@N04/54668222519/in/datepos....

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I just love the personal space and body language on this bench where the young woman is reading a book called 'Normal People' - and not a mobile phone in sight! Enjoy!
“Get at the root: union with God. On these days of recollection drop everything and hide in yourself to find Him in the silence where He is hidden within you, and listen to what he has to say. There is only one thing to live for: love. There is one unhappiness: not to love God. That is what pains me on these days of recollection, to see my own soul so full of movement and shadows and vanities, cross-currents of dry wind stirring up the dust and rubbish of desire. I don’t expect to avoid this humiliation in my life, but when will I become cleaner, more simple, more loving? “Have mercy on me, O God. My sun is always before me.”
-Thomas Merton, A Year with Thomas Merton: April 29, 1947
Norm
The norm is not a natural law, but something that makes demands and coercion regarding the areas in which it is applied. Therefore, the norm claims power. [The norm is linked to a positive intervention and transformation technique, a norm-maker project. - Michel Foucault, Abnormals]
After a very wet leadup to Christmas, it's great to finally get some normal winter conditions and be able to strap on the snowshoes. Hope everyone had a good weekend and the good folks to the south of us in the US are safe with the stormy weather they are having there.

A coruja-buraqueira possui este nome pois vive em buracos cavados no solo. Embora seja capaz de cavar sua própria cova, vive nos buracos abandonados de tatus, cachorro de pradaria e tocas de outros animais.
De porte pequeno, a Coruja-buraqueira possui uma cabeça redonda, tem sobrancelhas brancas, olhos amarelos, e pernas longas. Ao contrário a maioria das corujas o macho é ligeiramente maior que a fêmea e as fêmeas são normalmente mais escuras que os machos.
É uma ave tímida, por isso, vive em lugares sossegados.

A Normal Man Sitting Normally
I say normal but he was quite dapper and I can't be sure he was not Bicycle Repairman. You never can judge just by appearances.
The bench was anything but normal. Portland or Oolitic Limestone would be my guess.

This is a shot of a pool along Jacob's Fork River in South Mountains State Park. It was getting late when I took this one. Very low light down where I was at, still fairly bright above the canopy. The "golden" color was very nice. This is one of those spots that would've been nearly impossible to get too during normal water flow, but due to the lack of rain recently I was able to get into some spots I hadn't been able to get to in the past.
.. hängen wir schon um diese Zeit die Wäsche zum Trocknen auf. Zur Zeit hängt uns Frau Holle aber ihre Federn dran :-) Von der besagten Erderwärmung sind wir da aber weit weg.
Cuando el biotren recorría normalmente, y todo era una verdadera selva de locos, corriendo en contra del tiempo, apurados porque en cinco minutos mas tengo que estar en tal parte y una infinidades de situaciones del diario vivir.
después del terremoto, a algunos nos hizo reflexionar, a otros simplemente se dejaron influenciar, saco lo mas malo del ser humano, objeto de admiración en todo el mundo, de países desarrollados u otros con muy poca civilización, y que simplemente no podían creer que estaban viendo.
A veces pienso que este terremoto fue algo mentiroso, pero a la vez, pienso que a muchos nos sirvió, yo era parte de quienes corrían para llegar, y hoy, soy una persona mucho mas relajada, aprendí a valorar lo que tengo y lo que pude perder.
subi esta imagen, porque sin querer queriendo, fue a una semana antes del terremoto, y como en muchos días, el tiempo nos dio un aviso, fue helada esa jornada, muy nublada y porque ademas, sale el molino el globo, famosa por el producto "quaker" y desde que tengo conciencia de mi vida, e comido esos cereales, ademas de vivir a pocos metros de esta fabrica, ya que quedaba a muy pocos pasos de lo que fue alguna vez, un recinto estacion, y habia una linea hacia el molino que pasaba por donde nosotros jugabamos hace un tiempo atras.
Hoy ese molino esta en el suelo, ya no funciona, y nose que va a pasar de el, pero cuando lo vi, me dio mucha pena.
Esta fabrica pasaba algo desapersivido entre tanta casas y micros y hoy todos miramos como a quedado.

(Anche quest'anno, come ogni anno scolastico, c'è stata la leggendaria partita di calcio fra l'indirizzo Classico e l'indirizzo Scientifico del nostro Liceo...)
Nei giorni precedenti e soprattutto il giorno dello scontro, la scuola si spacca in due:
due colori, due gradinate, due tifoserie... striscioni, canzoni, fumogeni, facce dipinte come Mel Gibson in Braveheart...
... poi, qualche giorno dopo, tutto torna alla normalità: un solo liceo, amici come prima.
