Ornate Sunbird family at nest in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This occurred naturally when both parents came back to the nest at the same time, but did a composite of shots taken less than a minute apart to improve the aesthetics of this still.

Chefchaouen is an ancient city in the Rif mountains of north central Morocco. It's famously known as the blue city due to the use of a pure blue color on the walls of the buildings.

Jaisalmer, nicknamed "The Golden city", is a town in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is located 575 kilometres west of the state capital Jaipur. It was once known as Jaisalmer state.

Jaisalmer is named after its founder Maharawal Jaisal Singh, a Rajput king in 1156 AD. "Jaisalmer" means "the Hill Fort of Jaisal". Jaisalmer is sometimes called the "Golden City of India" because the yellow sand and the yellow sandstone used in every architecture of the city gives a yellowish-golden tinge to the city and its surrounding area.

The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, crowned by a fort, which contains the palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples are finely sculptured. It lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (great Indian desert) and has a population of about 78,000. It is the administrative headquarters of Jaisalmer District.

The ornate and colorful facade of the disused Public Market Building in Fort Worth, Texas.

What are promises, if not always broken.

Example why this lens was a favorite and garnered praise that it should have been labeled an 'L' lens.

Great rendering across the frame at f/1.8...albeit on APS-C.

For today's challenge I remembered this unusual handle on this magnifying glass. It looks like an animal's horn but is made of carved wood. I don't think it is a genuine antique, it was bought as a curio from a charity shop.
