The sky was on fire and I was allowed to witness - a truly spectacular show.
It took so long that I had time to take a series of portrait shots. I later merged them into a panorama in GIMP.
I wish a great weekend to everyone.
Der Himmel stand in Flammen und ich durfte Zeuge sein - ein wahrlich spektakuläres Schauspiel.
Es dauerte so lange, dass ich Zeit hatte eine Reihe von hochkant Aufnahmen zu machen.
Später fügte ich Sie in GIMP zu einem Panorama zusammen.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende.
A wonderfull clear night down on Portland with the Milky Way clearly visible with the naked eye....... but this shot definitely came with some challenges, firstly the lighthouse itself taking about 15 secs for the light to do a full rotation, which only left around 8 secs to capture the Milky Way before getting burnt out by the light, and then the composition, taking 3 portrait shots to stitch together to get everything in without a leaning lighthouse! Overall I am pretty pleased with the result!
Portland Bill Lighthouse is a functioning lighthouse at Portland Bill, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The lighthouse and its boundary walls are Grade II Listed.
As Portland Bill's largest and most recent lighthouse, the Trinity House operated Portland Bill Lighthouse is distinctively white and red striped, standing at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). It was completed by 1906 and first shone out on 11 January 1906. To date, the lighthouse guides passing vessels through the hazardous waters surrounding the Bill, while also acting as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel.
The process of creating a pencil portrait of a girl..Old Arbat in Moscow - the street of artists, musicians and poets..On the Old Arbat draw wonderful artists who,
competing with each other, improve their skills in the portrait genre from year to year.
Drawing a portrait is both a show and an attraction and art at the same time. Here the artist must have the knowledge, vast experience, patience, hard work and of course talent in order to solve many creative tasks in extreme conditions in a short time. A portrait painter who paints on the street must choose an appropriate angle for this model taking into account the lighting at a certain time of day and, having achieved an absolute external similarity of the drawing to the original, try to convey the mood, character and inner world of the person. Plus, a self-respecting artist must take care that the portrait drawing looks like a finished work of art.
The Wood Storks seem to be moving in everywhere.
See the comments for a portrait shot.
From the Florida Wildlife Commission:
Wood storks are about 35-45 inches in length with a wing span of about 60-65 inches. The plumage is white except for iridescent (you can see that in the photo above) or glimmering black feathers along the entire wing and tail. The head and upper neck of adult storks do not have feathers, but are covered with a rough, scaly skin that is gray-colored. The legs and bill are a black tone but the toes have a pink hue. Unlike herons, storks fly and soar with the neck and legs extended.
Whereas nestling storks utter a variety of calls and sounds, adult storks are nearly voiceless and make only hissing sounds. However, the stork will produce a loud sound by snapping their bills during courtship or aggressive behaviors.
Wood storks are highly social in their nesting habits, often nesting in large colonies of 100-500 nests. (Note – the most I’ve seen in one place is at Harris Neck NWR in Georgia) Historically, there were reports of stork colonies estimated to be as large as 1,200-5,000 nests in the Big Cypress and Everglades of south Florida. Wood storks feed mostly on fish, in water between 2-15 inches in depth, where the water is calm and uncluttered by aquatic vegetation.
Storks have a very specialized tactile foraging behavior whereby they move their partially-opened bill through the water in a side-to-side motion, often using their feet to rake or scare up aquatic prey. Once the bill detects a fish, the bill is snapped shut in one of the quickest reflex reactions among animals. Locating prey using tactile location allows storks to forage in muddy water but requires a relatively high prey density to be effective. Thus, storks tend to forage in wetlands that have long annual wet periods followed by drying conditions to concentrate prey during the spring and early summer months for successful breeding seasons.
Historically, wood storks were a common species throughout the southeastern United States. However, precipitous declines in stork range and populations occurred during the first half of the 1900s because of the stork's specialized foraging attribute and the loss of wetlands used for foraging, especially in south Florida. Ultimately, the United States population was listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1984 and by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in 1988. While the number of stork nests and colonies in Georgia and South Carolina appeared to increase during the 1980s and 1990s, storks still experience continued nesting related problems in Florida, especially south Florida. Recently, storks have established a colony in North Carolina.
The success of wood stork fledging, or the process in which a bird grows to be independent of its parents, often is variable among different years and colonies suggesting food resources are the likely factor in differences in nestling survivorship and fledging rates. Based on statewide surveys conducted by FWC personnel, stork colonies increased from 32 colonies during 1976-78 to 52 colonies during 1986-87, but decreased to 34 colonies in 1999. The most recent survey indicated about 7,216 nesting pairs in Florida during 2005.
If you know me you know I have enough difficulty getting things straight - without out them being crooked in the first place!
A portrait shot of a Nuthatch with a sunflower seed in it's bill.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
One of my favourite pano's I took over a couple of hours here. I don't know what the pink flowers are in that little dip but it was too early for thrift ? In some other shots further along the Bluebells were out but looking a bit battered....
The Rumps is a twin-headland promontory at the north-east corner of Pentire Head in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The promontory is formed from hard basaltic rock and projects north into the Atlantic Ocean. Its headlands lie east-to-west.

Longer panorama way back in my gallery and showing an earlier but wider view can be seen if you click on the link below:)
Portrait shot of a cormorant. This one stood out to me because it appears to be missing half of its upper bill.
I immediately started wondering whether or not it would even be able to survive with this handicap. That question got answered when I saw it pick a fish out of the water a bit later on.
A portrait shot of a tree swallow staring intensely at the photographer. This is a similar shot to my recently posted Barn Swallow image as they are both perched on the boardwalk railing at John Heinz NWR. I was basically at the minimum focusing distance my lens would allow, about 5 feet, when I clicked the shutter. You can see how shallow the dof is by looking at the one inch line of focus on the boardwalk rail. Everything else is blown-out. View large for tree swallow detail.
Enjoy the day ~!
Portrait shot of a northern gannet. For the first time ever I was nearly too close. Taken from the back of the boat while on a trip around Les Sept-Iles, Brittany, France.
This was taken at bempton cliffs, I love the colouring inside that beautiful beak and couldn't resist this shot
We regularly have visiting foxes in our garden.
This one stayed long enough for me to capture a shot through the window.
See the link below to see what happened 3 days later, in the early evening.....

Baby squirrels are really curious and some of them are not shy at all. This is Trick and he came as close as about one meter (Squirrels-2020-9070.jpg)
7 portrait shots.
This shows the extent of the flood waters that pass through this field and hence the footbridge used to access the church.
Have been trying out processing in Luminar 4 and have found it very impressive.
Taking a bit of getting to know ones way around.

This young lady was very kind in allowing me to take several shots just after I met her in this garden and asked if she would allow the shoot.
Kirkenes Panorama taken with 24 Portrait shots (750MB RAW file)
Kirkenes [ˈçirkəˌnɛːs] (Finnish: Kirkkoniemi, Kven: Kirkkoniemi, Northern Sami: Girkonjárga, Russian: Киркенес) is a town in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, in the far northeastern part of Norway. The town lies on a peninsula along the Bøkfjorden, an arm of the large Varangerfjorden. The main church for Kirkenes is Kirkenes Church, located in the Haganes area of the town.
The 2.15-square-kilometre (530-acre) town has a population (2013) of 3,498; which gives it a population density of 1,627 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,210/sq mi). When the neighbouring suburban villages of Hesseng, Sandnes, and Bjørnevatn are all included with Kirkenes, the urban area reaches a total population of almost 8,000 people.
The area around Kirkenes was a common Norwegian–Russian district until 1826, when the present border was settled. The original name of the peninsula was Piselvnes ("Pis River headland"), but this was changed to Kirkenes (meaning "church headland") after the Kirkenes Church was built here in 1862.
Kirkenes is located in the extreme northeastern part of Norway on the Bøkfjorden, a branch of the Varangerfjorden, which is a vast bay connected to the Barents Sea near the Russian–Norwegian border. The town is situated about 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
Unlike the vast majority of Norway, Kirkenes is located east of the neighbouring country of Finland. Because of this, travelling directly west from Kirkenes actually changes the time zone forward instead of backward, as it usually does. Travelling directly east from Kirkenes (into Russia) changes the time zone forward by an hour in summer, but by two in winter. When Russia implemented permanent daylight saving time between 2011 and 2014, there was a three-hour difference travelling forward from the eastern part of the municipality to westerly Russian areas during winter. It also shares time zones with Galicia in Spain, in spite of a solar time difference of 2½ hours.
One can drive 100 kilometres (62 mi) south, and walk 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), into the Øvre Pasvik National Park, reaching the border point of the three countries (Muotkavaara), where the three time zones meet. There are only a few such places in the world. It is forbidden, according to both Norwegian and Russian law, to circumambulate the border marker, as the only lawful route across the Norwegian–Russian border is at the border control at Storskog.
Kirkenes is located just east of the 30th meridian east. As a result, it is further east than Istanbul, which marks one of the European borders with Asia. The easternmost point of Norway and the municipality is also at a point further east than Saint Petersburg. Kirkenes is also several meridians east of the Gulf of Bothnia.

Portrait shot of a really clean and cute Dwarf Burrowing Skink (Lerista timida). Shown here is an adult at a diminutive 65mm in total length that I raked up while the lizard was sheltering in the loose soil beneath a dense leaf-litter mat accumulated under a Gidgee Tree (Acacia cambagei). This tree was growing along a shallow, ephemeral watercourse, meandering through an arid and stony valley in the breakaway country around the township of Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is located in central South Australia.
Snowy Egret that is! I was not focused on this species nor was I expecting to get such a close shot. I was attempting to photograph terns in a dive bomb a they were hunting for fish, when this Snowy Egret flew in to the salt marsh. I was laid out flat on the sod bank, and did not move a muscle as I was afraid to scare the bird. He gave me some nice close-up and portrait shots before wandering off in search of food. This is one of those shots. Please view large for best Snowy experience.
It is Wednesday. Thank you for stopping by~!

Portrait shot of a juvenile Peregrine Falcon.
To say I got lucky this day was an understatement. After watching the parents do food passes to the young I couldnt believe my luck when the young falcon landed on the cliff top some 5 metres from where I was stood on the footpath.
A day I will never forget.
Many thanks as always to everyone who takes the time to look, like and comment on my pictures its much appreciated.
Thought I would try something different instead of my usual portrait shots as seen in the Kingfisher album.
Many thanks for your comments and faves. Much appreciated.
Two portrait shots of a woman from Kristianstad, southern Sweden. It's taken at the Forslunds atelier, but there is no additional information on the photos. Stylistically the shots, taken at the same time, seem to date to the early 20th century.
The portraits are obviously taken at the same sitting, showing the front and back of both hair and dress (and considering all the work that has gone in to that dress, it is easy to see why that would be of interest to show off).

After a sunrise shoot high above Settle which never materialised (the sun that is), I arranged to meet up with Flickr buddy miketonge for a sunset shoot in nearby Chapel Le Dale. Well the sunset although very pretty was not th worldie we were hoping for, and so we both packed up our kit to head down Ingleborough before nightfall. But wait for it, turning 180 degrees revealed an incredible sight, BOOM, both Ingleborough and Whernside were shrouded in moisture rich clouds creating a stunning view the like of which neither of us had witnessed, certainly not from this POV, and so we descended well satisfied with this surprise bonus shot to add to our collections. Great to meet up again Mike!
