this is the "New Palais" in Potsdam near the campus square of university. On a tuesday it is closed, so there were not thousends of people.
One of the positive aspects of our recent trip was seeing more solar fields and wind turbines than we had seen during our move west a few years ago. The number of solar fields seemed similar, but we noticed many more wind turbines in Montana, the Dakotas, and especially Iowa. And we saw many trucks transporting wind turbine blades.
It's hard for a photo to capture how humongous these blades really are! It was also hard for me to get any shot through the front windshield while zooming along at 70+ mph. I took a several shots at different times with camera and phone, and none were worth posting.
But that's what Sundays are for, right?! So here is my least bad shot, slid in photoshop elements (colored pencil sketch - 50% and old paper) and jixipix (vintage scene, faded time).
I've never been one to shy away from a little harmless yet extravagant over-engineering and I was in perfect form the day before I took this photo with a completely excessive amount of work anchoring my tent into the snow with oversized snow pegs and buried blocks of ice which, had given the comedians camping with me plenty to work with.
A few hours after I'd finished work on my aptly labelled 'Fort Knox' we noticed some dark clouds beginning to appear on the horizon. I was so excited but they were quickly dismissed by the others in favour of the forecast which, was still calling for a calm night...
The next morning came and I woke to an aftermath of ripped and wrangled tents from a surprise storm that had kept everyone up frantically trying to save their gear and make it through.
As it would turn out, that was the best nights sleep I'd had in a while and now I was the only one up to enjoy the beautiful sunrise ❄️💨

Big rig, tho it still doesn't compare to the vastness of the sky....
Heading home from the shore, over the Manahawkin Bay Bridge.

very large trucks carrying very heavy loads.

I then overlaid 3D Fractal objects on top of the collage

After briefly visiting David in Cannich this afternoon, a hint of brightness on an otherwise dull and very wet day encouraged me to detour up a nearby glen.
Apart from soggy stags I didn't see much at all until I was heading back and saw this unlikely scene. The rain had stopped but it was still blowing a hoolie as this Cormorant rocked and flapped about desperately clinging to its branch.
Boyfriends can rarely be oversized, but their suits usually are...

Oversized Load - Male Osprey bringing in some eucalyptus bark to the female in the nest. I have never observed this behavior before and it was interesting to see the Osprey scraping some loose bark off the tree and bringing it back to the nest. I wonder if it just serves the purpose of nesting material, or if the Osprey is intentionally bringing in this particular bark for the oils which may have some anti-parasitic properties. In any case, it was a treat to watch this comical sight of the Osprey lugging a bundle of bark. He even dropped a piece of the bark in the river and in his determination, actually came back after dropping off the rest, dived down to grab the little piece and returned it to the nest. I got many interesting images on this particular afternoon and will share the rest of the sequence in the coming weeks.

Quality is mediocre, as I was stopped at a light and caught this just as I needed to move as the light turned green. Windshield wasn't real clean either.
Australia is a big country with lots of big things! But also amongst the oversized are some big, longlasting flowers. Here is the Banksia menziesii (Menzies Banksia) compound flower candle contrasting in size with a pea flower- Egg and Bacon type which is substantially smaller. (Chorizema cordatum??)
Taken when I visited The Australian Garde, Cranbourne Botanic Gardens. Although they were without power the staff were on hand and ushering large numbers of families into the gardens. It was so pleasing to get out to the 25km limit currently allowed by covid-19 restricitions. HMMM :))
One of my contacts, Oana, was pointing out a large cactus I had in an earlier shot.
I thought the ones she pointed out were more on the medium side than large, so I promised to post a large one someday.
This guy somehow grew to much larger proportions than his brothers and sisters in the background.

SM31-025 with a train from Wrocław is entering Kościerzyna on its way to Gdynia. Once again I was lucky enough to witness this train during my stay up north. This time it was taken up by one of the few running SM31 locomotives.

SM31-025 is making its way out of the station Kościerzyna on the old coal mainline, at a snail's pace. On hook - the standard heavy power generator train from Wrocław to the harbour in Gdynia.
This train runs roughly once a month or so, sometimes with longer breaks, and is one of the last regular trains using the old unelectrified railway line 201, about which I once made a series of posts under the name 'The Polish coal-mainline'.

I'm posting two shots today. One a series and the other a close-up.
I'm always looking for ways to identify one eagle from another to see if they are returning year after year. This guy sure is easy to ID.
He seems to have a talon that doesn't quite work right and is longer than the rest. Maybe why he dropped the fish the first time around.
It took him two tries but he was successful.
Best in large to see his talon.
