The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized wild cat widely distributed from Northern, Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Siberia, the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests up to an elevation of 5,500 m (18,000 ft). Despite its wide distribution, it is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching and depletion of prey.

This newborn White Rhino calf in Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa is a sign of hope in these gloomy times for rhinos.
A week before this one we also spotted a newborn calf in a game reserve in the Eastern Cape while we were tracking White Rhino on foot with a specialist ranger.

The ongoing news of environmental disasters can seem overwhelming, even from the other side of the globe. My heart breaks a little with every news story. Right now the focus is on the suffering, and the brave heros trying to prevent further loss and suffering, but what happens after the headlines fade? We must take better care of this blessed planet, my friends, or our home may all too soon become uninhabitable. It isn't just the forests, or the animals that we could lose. It isn't even all about the horrific headlines from one disaster or another. How do we get back to normal? What is the new normal? We have this beautiful planet that seems to be able to heal itself and absorb disaster after disaster, but for how long? What if we seriously started thinking and behaving as good caretakers of what we have? Could we avoid numerous disasters, or at least make them less catastrophic? Rather than today's focus on the fear, the pain and suffering, and the staggering losses; what if we could learn to focus on love?
I am dedicating this post to the concept that we can have a beautiful home, but we must take good care of it. Love your planet. Love, they say, can move mountains. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Special thanks to my sweet AD for helping me with this one. ♥♥♥
My ongoing mission to bring respectability to the architecture of the much maligned borough of Croydon continues. I've showed the very top of the 43-storey Saffron Tower in an image I posted a couple of weeks ago. Here's another view, this time looking up at it. Now if someone could just move that bloody streetlamp!!!

The Gibbons family are very active and quite tricky to capture their personality with all the ongoing antics! I think I lucked out for a second with this closeup as he was just not three feet away from me! (I can't believe I got this shot!!! And this is a member of the troop that sits away from all the antics of the other members of his family)

Number 4 in a series of ongoing collaborations with Harsubagh.
I've taken 4 of his images here and subjected them to a lot of further photo manipulation, mirroring and layering. In the first 3 collaborative pieces I kept H's images fairly untouched. Here I'm taking them on as raw material and running as far as I can with them ... in the spirit of H's own very experimental work.
Image was created in 2017.

Here’s the second photo from my Munich subway series.
This time, I photographed the Candidplatz station – and I have to say, this one makes you smile just by looking at it. The walls glow like a rainbow, flooding the entire space with color. Strangely enough, the square above ground is quite dull – almost bleak. But once you descend, it’s like stepping into an entirely different world. A hidden gem beneath the grey.
When planning the shot, I faced a problem: if I waited for two trains like in the first image, they’d block the vibrant spectrum completely. But without any train at all, the photo felt too static – too polished. So I tried something in between.
I timed the exposure to capture just the end of a departing train, blurring it into motion while still leaving the full rainbow visible. It worked beautifully: now there’s movement, but the station remains the star of the image.
I kind of regret not taking a photo of the grey, uninspired surface above – just to contrast it with this explosion of color below. Maybe next time. For now, this is one of the most joyful and graphically powerful subway spaces I’ve ever seen.

Here’s the first photo from that night.
Because I really wanted to start a subway series, I traveled to Munich for two nights – completely on my own, just to focus fully on photography. I was highly motivated yet deeply relaxed, completely in the zone. That’s when I can truly switch off from everyday stress.
A minute or two before each train arrives, you can feel the rush of air in the tunnel. The entire station gets blasted with wind – you even notice it up at the entrance.
And I was never alone for long. People kept coming up to me, curious about what I was photographing. For many, it was just an ordinary subway station – but for me, it was underground art waiting to be revealed. As soon as I showed them my photos, the amazement began. I explained exposure times, the play of light, how an ultra-wide lens changes the entire perception compared to human vision – and that went on every ten minutes throughout the night.
Young people, older ones, travelers, night owls, groups, individuals – it often turned into long conversations. I was out there alone, yet somehow never really alone. Always the same questions: how long I’d been shooting, what camera this was, and so much more.
In the end, I often showed my portfolio on my phone, and some even missed their trains on purpose just to see more. Some told me they had never seen the Milky Way before; others wanted to photograph my pictures directly from my screen. A few said they owned cameras themselves but had lost motivation – until my photos made them want to pick it up again.
A group of young women seemed disappointed when I said I don’t photograph people – they would have loved to appear in my pictures. Others tried to recreate my angle with their smartphones. There was so much enthusiasm, laughter, handshakes, and warm goodbyes. I rarely experience such intensity.
At one station, a local photo group from Munich approached me. Later that night, we ran into each other again at another station and just kept talking. Even the security staff weren’t controlling or distant – they were curious and genuinely friendly. Once, someone sat down and played guitar while we scrolled through my photos together. Again and again, the people around me felt familiar – not anonymous or strange. It almost felt like sitting at home on the sofa with friends.
Sometimes I thought: you could set up a spontaneous underground photo exhibition right here in the middle of the night, and people would love it. Maybe more people today long for mindful photography than we realize.
One thing’s for sure – Munich people are open, sociable, and full of curiosity. I didn’t have a single bad encounter. Everyone felt like someone I’d known for a while. And that guitar moment just made it all perfect.
They say – or so I’ve heard – that Westfriedhof is among the ten most beautiful subway stations in the world. So of course, it became my first stop.
When you work with Exposure Bracketing, you can really shape the light – make it visible in all its nuances, how it shines, fades, and reveals its gradients. I think it took me about two hours until two trains finally passed through at the same time. Sometimes there are two, but rarely in sync – and catching those few seconds without a single person in the frame is not easy.
But time flew by with all those great conversations. And every time I felt that rush of air, I knew – time to get ready – while we just kept chatting.

Wanna Buy Me A Coffee?
The ongoing non-essential travel embargo is proving a challenge regards material although, thankfully, I'm still finding stuff in the archives that hasn't yet been given an airing.
This shot carries as much interest as most in that it features a coal working to a power station. - a traffic that has all but disappeared since this was taken six years ago. The train is the 6.45am Humber Terminal - Ratcliffe Power Station (6M04) in the hands of DB Cargo Shed 66087.
The location is Newark-on-Trent and the train is captured here crossing the Midland Railway's steel framed bridge over the River Trent just below the weir. This, at the time cheap and uninspiring but today rather characterful structure, was built by Derby firm Andrew Handyside & Co in 1891 as a replacement for the timber-framed bridge built in 1846 when the Nottingham - Lincoln line opened. No doubt the structure is sound enough but the whole thing, which extends behind me over the flood plain, does look a little careworn - of course also an appealing feature for the snapper!
In the background can be seen the catenary of the East Coast Mainline. The Nottingham - Lincoln line traverses it by way of a flat-level crossing, which the train will still be straddling at this point.
For me, the shot's a reminder that, when clean, the EWS liveried locos and wagon rakes didn't look too bad.

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

With my ongoing overhaul of the slide collection I found some Guilford stuff that I long since forgot about. I never shot the P&LE but for the short time I lived in "New England" I saw a few of their units that were on a run-through coal train coming from mines in southwestern PA to the power plant at Bow, New Hampshire. Reeds Ferry is on the old Boston & Maine New Hampshire Division main line that ran north out of Boston to White River Junction. Trailing the two P&LE units is a former Detroit Edison SD40 that GTI purchased.

~~~More good news....... The ongoing research and search for the reindeer leads us to Santa's village and to this little Santa Claus.
He was the last to see the reindeer, as they helped him bring this huge tree to the village as a present for the very little Santas and the elderly. So they would have a beautiful Christmas tree during the Christmas season, when the rest of the family is at work.
The reindeer told him that it was now the moment for them to go to their own mythical place……to be continued~~~

Ongoing family health issues mean I'll be taking a Flickr break for a week or two. Not Covid related, but any health issues are inevitably being complicated by the pandemic.
I've chosen this image with a flower, as there is something so wonderful about the beauty of flowers, and just now the fragrance of the honeysuckle under the windows fills the house in the evenings! Flowers seem to uplift and restore the spirits - as Iris Murdoch wrote:
'People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.'
