The colors of blue hour following sunset at Imperial Beach Pier.
The southernmost city in California, IB is tucked between San Diego and Tijuana making it an interesting crossroads of people, entertainment, and culture. And, in my humble opinion, a great spot for photographs.
**. A shot from our first trip to Kenya in August 2004 and the first time I used a digital camera, a very basic point and shoot . My only regret about the trip was I missed a lot of shots I would have managed with a better camera. When we went back in 2010 I was much better equipped . Still I will never forget seeing the Big cats and elephants in the wild for the first time I don’t need photographs to remember the thrill of that experience .
This was taken at Lake Nakuru I was trying to photographs the flamingoes but this Marabou stork managed to get in front of the pretty birds . Actually if you look into the mass of birds there are also at least three Pelicans
In Marys opinion Marabou storks are the ugliest bird on the planet . This is probably about first impressions. I remember the drive from the airport to downtown Nairobi it was so exciting to think we were in Africa and everything looked so different it was total sensory overload . As we drove along there were landfill sites at the roadside and they were full of scavenging Marabou storks. Only at that time we did not know their name they just looked like birds from hell. Interestingly this Stork is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Mallard drakes having a severe difference of opinion in Bushy Park pond.
Oh and more info for the flickr autotagger: The pond might just be called a lake but not a sea
Went for a walk last night and we were the only humans out there for a while. The gulls seemed to be enjoying their turn as a very low tide exposed a lot of shellfish and other sea food.
Thanks very much for visiting and I really enjoy your opinions in a comment.

A big part of the Babberspolder quarter in Vlaardingen is renewed. Older apartment blocks and houses from the 50s are demolished and new ones erected. Although it is now a nice place to live I find the renewal a bit to much. In my opinion it was nicer that they had kept some of the old buildings as a historic layer. Now it looks as a standerd new housing estate. The church in the centre of the picture is one of the few things they have kept.
An opinion on how to light the Pinnacles was agreed upon by all in attendance on this magical evening at the Trona Pinnacles.
The perks of living in a big city
are plenty.
One of them ,in my opinion. is that you can go out anytime of the day or night and you will always get to see people walking, driving, living.. getting by and doing their thing. I sometimes find myself staring silently observing and making up senarios about their lives and shit. There is something soothing while driving at night though. Although you will get to see people around you feel the silence after a busy day, the city dressing in their night colours and gleaming lights guiding your way, letting all the stress of the day wear off and take the opportunity to breath. Turning on the radio and your jam starts playing and everything else disappears and you lose yourself in the music screaming your lungs out under the night sky and the city lights.
Merci pour vos avis, vos messages sympathiques, et votre fidélité.
A très bientôt dans vos univers!!!
Thank you for your opinion, your friendly messages and loyalty.
See you soon!!

Paradójicamente, dijo Nietzsche, esta búsqueda insistente de la verdad, este escepticismo a ultranza, es un legado del cristianismo (por razones complejas en las que no nos entretendremos aquí). Luego añadió una última y quizá primordial ironía en unas notas fragmentarias en un cuaderno poco antes de perder la razón (debido al gran flagelo del siglo XIX, la sífilis). Predijo que, tarde o temprano, la ciencia moderna dirigiría la poderosa fuerza del escepticismo contra sí misma, cuestionaría la validez de sus propios cimientos, los derribaría y se destruiría. Recordé esas palabras en el verano de 1994, cuando un grupo de matemáticos e informáticos organizaron un congreso en el Santa Fe Institute sobre los límites del conocimiento científico. La opinión generalizada era que, dado que la mente humana no es más que un aparato físico, un tipo de ordenador, el producto de una historia genética determinada, sus capacidades son limitadas. Por lo tanto, es probable que nunca llegue a comprender por completo la existencia humana. Sería como si un grupo de perros organizara un congreso para tratar de entender a El Perro. Por mucho que se esforzaran, no llegarían muy lejos. Los perros pueden comunicar únicamente unas cuarenta ideas, todas ellas primitivas, y son incapaces de documentar nada. El proyecto estaría condenado de antemano. El cerebro humano, aunque muy superior al de los perros, también es limitado. En consecuencia, no cabe la posibilidad de que los seres humanos lleguen a una teoría definitiva, completa y acotada de la existencia humana.

La premisa era que tener una opinión es una cosa, y otra tener una convicción. O para expresarlo de otro modo, cualquiera puede adquirir una opinión, así como puede aprender un idioma extranjero o una costumbre de otro país, pero las opiniones enraizadas en la estructura caracterológica de una persona, respaldadas por la energía contenida en su carácter, son las únicas opiniones que se convierten en convicciones. Las ideas, no obstante ser fáciles de aceptar si la mayoría las proclama, tienen un efecto que en gran parte depende de la estructura de carácter de una persona en una situación crítica. El carácter, tal como dijo Heráclito y demostró Freud, es el destino del hombre. La estructura del carácter decide qué clase de ideas elegirá un hombre y determina también la fuerza de la idea elegida. Esta es por cierto la enorme importancia del concepto freudiano del carácter, ya que trasciende el concepto tradicional de conducta y se refiere a aquella conducta que está cargada dinámicamente; de modo que un hombre no sólo piensa de cierta manera sino que su mismo pensamiento tiene por raíz sus inclinaciones y emociones.

El castillo de Peñarroya es una fortificación situada en el término municipal de Argamasilla de Alba, provincia de Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España. Se alza sobre una peña ("roya" roja o rubia, según opinión) desde la que domina un acantilado, en un tramo del río Guadiana que da a la presa del embalse de Peñarroya.
Es de fábrica de mampostería y de sillería. En el exterior se encuentra un camino de acceso medieval, el humilladero y un foso. Por un pórtico se da entrada al patio de armas, que mide 67 x 43 metros y en él se hallan diversas dependencias adosadas al muro, entre ellas su antigua iglesia del siglo XII y un aljibe. Un pasillo interior o liza divide la muralla principal, y más alta, del antemuro, de 70 metros de longitud y que presenta tres torres intercaladas entre cortinas. Presenta una torre albarrana que es de planta rectangular aunque su forma es redondeada por el extremo frontal.
La torre del homenaje es cuadrada, tiene una superficie de 113 m² y en ella se pueden ver tres plantas. Acoge en la actualidad las dependencias de la Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de Peñarroya, de Argamasilla de Alba, aunque antiguamente, es de suponer que constituiría las dependencias del señor del castillo o alcaide de la fortaleza. A la terraza se llegaba a través del adarve de la muralla y por medio de una puerta.
In Piombino, Tuscany, lies one of the largest and most beautiful seaside squares in Italy, and, in the opinion of many, in Europe. Piazza Giovanni Bovio is a unique example of a square jutting out into the sea, almost touching the island of Elba. From here, the view sweeps across the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, from Giglio to Montecristo, Capraia, and Corsica.

Double Arch is a natural sandstone formation in one of the best (in my opinion) parks in all of America, Arches National Park. This particular set of arches were formed differently from most of the arches in the park. It is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather the standard erosion for arches, which is normally from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second-longest span in the park. For scale, the lower right of this shot contains a group of people sitting in shadow.
The arches are open for exploration, but you have to be pretty nimble to get up to the top of the “window”. This open permission to climb can make photographers have to wait quite a while to get a clear shot like this one as the area can be crawling with tourists. Normally I avoid crowds by going very early for sunrise or late for sunset, but this tactic doesn’t work with Double Arch as it lies in shadow and mostly along an East-West axis, so the light for sunrise and sunset is not optimum to catch that natural amphitheater effect you see here.
Arches National Park contains the highest density of arches in the world, more than 2000 natural sandstone arches. It also features a variety of unique geological formations such as Balanced Rock, The Three Gossips and The Tower of Babel. It borders the Colorado River on the Colorado Plateau and is 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. It’s truly high desert, receiving an average of less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain annually. In spite of it’s relatively remote location the park received more than 1.6 million visitors in 2018 and the lines to get in can be long…so get there early!
The shot: Admittedly I have glaring vertical polarization here from the CPL. At the time there was a lot of stray light flooding into my viewfinder and I didn't catch the mistake. A 90 degree turn of the filter could have fixed it. I have since started using a large oval eyecup to prevent light pollution into the viewfinder, and I highly recommend this useful addition to your camera.

While it seems every man and his dog were up the S&C again, I decided on a more local outing. Not being arsed to have a full day out and seeing 419 was allocated to this, there was really only one option in my opinion. Having done my local spots to death with this train and still not succeeding with the sun, I travelled further up the coast for a more scenic, picturesque view. St Bees is the location and running 46 minutes early, 37419 heads north with the usual monthly 1q47 Derby-Carlisle test train. 37423 was on the rear. Had it been on time it would've been touch and go with the sun as a bank of cloud had started to roll in by then.
Now thats just about every 37 nailed on this train, all I need now is 37425 in it's Regional Railway's livery to complete the set!!
This photograph is of a Florida sky as the sun sets, a not uncommon sight in that part of the world, and a striking example - in my opinion - of art in nature.
“Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.”

LOL thats why so many selfies
I am only comfortable with myself :))))
What can I say...
Have yourselves a beautiful day
And thank you, for always taking the time to stop by

We all hold some opinion on Australian White Ibis; Bin Chicken to many, it is also an amazing bird: beautiful when landing against the light, a trooper with tough surviving skills and, as I witnessed from a hide last Sunday, a caring parent. This chick was thoroughly cleaned by its mother, with special attention given to its backside. Pity - just like its human equivalent, it will not remember...
