On observe chez certaines parulines des transformations étonnantes du plumage, l'automne venu.

C'est le cas de la Paruline rayée. Présentée, ici, en plumage de transition.

 

In some warblers we can observe amazing changes in the plumage, in autumn.This is the case of the Blackpool Warbler. Presented here in transition plumage.

Sea otter (Enhydra lutris) at the Pittsburgh Zoo in Pittsburgh, PA.

Fuchsias are a new addition to our garden, and it's the first time I've had the opportunity to photograph it. It is such a delicate flower with such rich colours. And the stamens just won't keep still ;o)

A gentleman observes the cockpit of HST power car 43153 and duff 47075 at Newcastle Central on 25 Aug 84.

 

This was taken on the return journey of a week using an All of Scotland Rail Rover ticket (or something like that!). Sadly, I was down to my very last roll of film which happened to be a 'freeby' Truprint brand. Hence the quality is even worse than other scans.

 

On the up side, within 8 years, I would return to the city to marry my wife of almost 28 years! They said it'd never last!!

THE GERANIUM

 

by RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN

 

In the close covert of a grove

 

By nature formed for scenes of love,

 

Said Susan in a lucky hour:

 

‘Observe yon sweet geranium flower.

 

How straight upon its stalk it stands,

 

And tempts our violating hands,

 

Whilst the soft bud, as yet outspread,

 

Hangs down its pale declining head.

 

Yet soon as it is ripe to blow,

 

the stems shall rise, the head shall glow.’

 

‘Nature,’ said I, ‘my lovely Sue,

 

To all her followers lends a clue.

 

Her simple laws themselves explain

 

As links of one continued chain;

 

For her the mysteries of creation

 

Are but the works of generation.

 

Yon blushing, strong, triumphant flower

 

Is in the crisis of its power:

 

But short, alas, its vigorous reign;

 

He sheds his seed, and drops again.

 

The bud that hangs in pale decay

 

Feels not, as yet, the plastic ray.

 

Tomorrow’s sun shall bid him rise,

 

Then, too, he sheds his seed, and dies.

 

But words, my love, are vain and weak;

 

For proof, let bright example speak.’ …

El voltor comú (gyps fulvus) és realment una bestia molt grossa. Veient-lo volar en cercles just agafant alçada davant Abella de la Conca, om es pot sentir una mica conill de bosc sota la seva mirada.... i no d'ell sol, sino de la trentena que l'acompanyaven!

A Griffon vulture (gyps fulvus) flying in circles, soaring to higher levels above the Conca de Tremp, in the Catalan Pyrenees.

You could almost feel as they (it was not alone, about 30 more of them were flying arround) observe you, maybe as a potential threat, maybe as a source of meat...

I have observed many species of birds eating the berries of poison ivy, but never before a Pileated Woodpecker.

Autumnal late afternoon at the Millennium Coastal ParkLlanelli,west Wales,UK,

In early 1947 the Strauss government observed as other nations started to manufacture increasingly armed, and armored units with sloped armor. At the time the Strauss government usually imported armored units from other nations, but we felt it was time to retire our 15 year old box tractors to domestically produce a modern main battle tank. In 1953 the first Bastide models were designed, designated the Panzer-53 A1, and were armed with 90mm main gun, and a 7.62mm machine gun. These A1 models were primitive, and their main turret wasn't as well sloped as the later standard models. These were able to be manufactured in higher quantities, but were deemed unsatisfactory by the Department of War. The next prototype was equipped with a much better redesigned turret that became the standard for army use. These tanks were not the best armored, but provided more slope over the older models while still able to be produced relatively cheap compared to later models. The improved A2, the A3 was equipped with more advance electronics, night vision, and more frontal armor over the A2. This increased the cost, however the main gun was still armed with a 90mm.

 

Tanks rolling out in the late 50s started to become increasingly difficult to destroy with 90mm guns, and captured models of communist tanks proved that most ammunition was obsolete, while others seemed to struggle while still capable of penetrating enemy armor. The next step was an even more armored, and armed models the A4, and A5 that offered increased protection, and then a 105mm gun to finally be able to properly take out newer armored threats. Lastly a cheaper alternative was made with less advanced equipment once again, and a small co-axle autocannon.

Other tank variants would be smaller additions to the existing design like reactive armor plating, or slat armor.

  

For clarification the (cheaper models) are not that much cheaper, and I'm not adding stats yet until whatever P&Q system is finished. These may be significantly armored, or glass cannons. I have no idea, and please don't derp, and base the stats off of any real tanks. These are Panzer-53s, not M-48/60s. Even if that is the inspiration this is a fictional vehicle.

There was a safe Osprey roost provided by the refuge just a few yards away but this Osprey chose to nest on a power transmission pole.

I took this shot while doing a trek for Mane or Sopona Lake (4122m) with Urgian Chhering Dongthoth, Kunzang Dorje and Namkha. Mane Lake has been on my list since a long time but due to heavy schedule by back to back tours I missed the opportunity a lot of times.

Few days back before coming back to Delhi I told UC and Kunzang bro about my interest in covering Mane Lake. Their response was: Let's do a trek and camp at night. Weather was not great but it did not stop us. In the morning we headed towards Maneyogma village at the earliest. Unexpectedly weather changed. I observed heavy rainfall on the top of Dhankar Monastery heading towards us with a fastest pace. We started trekking more faster because we needed to reach a safe place where we could stay and wait till the rain stops (don't forget we had camera's and a drone :P ). In few minutes the rain started so we took shelter under a gigantic rock and waited for the shower to stop for at least half an hour. Suddenly we heard a loud noise. UC went out to take a look. It was a mud land slide just few meters away from us. Even though it was small in lane but where we were standing was also muddy so we decided to walk again because it was a little risky to stand in that area, (you can see few clips of the mud landslide in my Mane lake trek’s youtube video).

 

Ohk to aaj ke lie itna kafi hai :P baki ki story mane lake ke shot ke sath share karunga :P

Nice to observe more clearly the coat of arms which is making a welcome return on our buses during this centenary year.

 

Nisi Dominus Frustra has a few meanings and can translate as 'Without the Lord, everything is in vain'. 'Except the Lord in Vain' or 'He that acts without the Lord Acts in vain'. Nisi means 'unless', 'Dominus' means 'lord' or 'master' and frustra means 'in vain' or 'useless'

 

It has been the motto of the City of Edinburgh since the 17th century and is also one of the mottos of the King's Own Scottish Borders regiment. I think this gives our buses a status of pride and how splendid it is to see it.

Class 52 diesel hydraulic locomotive No. D1057 WESTERN CHIEFTAIN gets a away from Swindon with an up express on Thursday 2nd August 1973.

 

From my records it looks like I had a short spotting trip to Swindon that day. I saw members of Classes 08, 31, 35, 37, 42, 45, 47 and some DMUs. The "Warships" (810 and 818) were probably parked outside the Works, spied from the train on the way in. I also noted two other "Westerns": D1047 and D1072. My trains to and from Swindon (I probably travelled from Bath Spa) were both Brush 4s: 1942 and 1952 respectively.
