Another in my Wave series, this one has mostly crashed back into the sea, with a large amount of spray still lingering at a great height.
I know it seems I post a lot of these images, but to date I have only shown 64 in 9 years on Flickr. I have taken over 3700 photos of storms so far, so the success rate is very low indeed. The biggest problem I have is spotting any with potential among so many, hence the constant revisiting of my work at Porthcawl Lighthouse and the trickle feed to my Photostream, in fact I have another tomorrow.

On my trip to White Pocket I met with the "Action Photo Tours" of David Swindler. Watching their performance, I was very impressed. The scenery is lit by 2 Low Level LED lights: one positioned behind the rocks on the right the other in front of the scene on the left. Thanks Johnny for letting me participate.
It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.
I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!
I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

Thank you all very much for the visits and comments.
The position of Hohenzollern Castle is impressive by itself. All around wide lowlands are reaching out and in the middle the castle is enthroned on its mountain. The builders couldn't have chosen a better place.
Die Lage der Burg Hohenzollern ist an sich schon beeindruckend. Runderherum erstreckt sich eine weite Ebene und in der Mitte thront die Burg auf ihrem Berg. Einen besseren Platz hätten sich die Baumeister nicht suchen können.

Fall in my "Sun" garden.
For convenience of maintenance and gardening, I divided my garden into two areas that I called, respectively, The Sun and The Moon, according to their position above the garden and seasonal movement in the sky.
Todmorden Unitarian Church
This church is a Grade 1 Listed Building overlooking the town. It is perched high on a hill in an imposing position and can be seen for miles around, helped by the spire, which increases its height by a further 192 feet. Reached by a long winding drive starting at a gatehouse, it looks more like an Anglican Cathedral than a non-conformist chapel. Even the gatehouse is a listed building. The church stands in its own substantial landscaped grounds and has a large burial ground on the wooded slopes behind the building.
Henry Cat AKA No Bones Jones Happy Caturday he was napping until he heard the camera then he had ot mug some, he gets in weird position thus the "no bones Jones" nickname.

Happy Caturday~ Looking on the Bright Side
When a cat is playing or frightened, they try to make themself look as big as possible. A stiff-legged hopping gait often accompanies this puffing out of their fur.
Jerri often assumes this pose when playing with Oscar, much to our amusement and delight!

The egret dropped and retrieved the same fish several times before getting it into this head-first position and swallowing it.
Unfortunately, I was not able to see this guy pupate. It happened in the wee hours of the morning when I was still snug in my bed. However, there is a beautiful Chrysalis hanging from this leaf now. I’ll post that picture tomorrow. Good luck on your transformation Monarch!
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
The Castle of Levizzano is located in a dominant position on the wonderful hills of the homonymous village in the municipality of Castelvetro. Its structure consists of a city wall in the centre of which there is the so-called Torre Matildica - Matildic Tower.
Starting from the 12th century, the fortified complex was restored and enlarged. In particular, next to the tower that was placed to protect the entrance to the Castle, a part of the feudal palace was erected and an underground tunnel was built, which still joins the Palace to the Tower.
Around the 16th century the buildings underwent important transformations: dating back to this period is the so-called "Stanza dei Vescovi" or Bishops’ Room, which has a ceiling with ancient wooden structures and a cycle of Renaissance frescoes. On the main floor, you can enter the charming loggia overlooking the hills dotted with vineyards from the main hall. Campo San Rocco and the ancient former Napoleonic cemetery stand in the immediate vicinity of the Castle.
Positioned perfectly in the early morning light, I captured this swan going through the motions of a wash and preen.

Positioned around a mile and a half from where we were staying, Tarn Hows is a picturesque Tarn which is visited by over half a million visitors who walk around it.
Our visit this time was an eye opener. As we approached, Marc became terrified. Only a couple of years ago, I pushed Marc around this tarn in his wheelchair and we enjoyed the nature of the landscape. It was quite a push in his manual wheelchair - though it is advertised as accessible, in truth, motorised scooters or wheelchair are needed.
As we approached and reached this point, there is a sharp downhill stretch of road bending around a hidden curve. Marc's grip on the seat at the side of me tightened and his knuckles turned white. "stop, stop, stop" he screamed!
I pulled over, but he did not relax. I managed a quick photo out of the car window, but headed back the way we came, with the terror left behind.
What triggered this reaction to somewhere we had been previously remains unknown. I know his condition is worsening and maybe it was the journey making him travel sick, maybe his poor eyesight is affecting him in a greater way, maybe he was having a seizure, and absence, right at that moment which sent him into a panic, maybe ...
sometimes we never find out the cause of a reaction like this, but we have a photograph, and as we look back at it now, he can laugh at his memory of my stopping the car and turning around.
From here, we went back to the village, and had some Grasmere Gingerbread. After a calmer wheel-walk around the village. Calm returned.
Have a lovely day everyone :-))

The following day I saw some movement not far from my position on the beach: there were 4 beautiful models filming a commercial for a local TV, I approached and kindly asked to take a photo (unfortunately taken against the sun so it does not show the beautiful faces of the models). Then I talked with them and invited all at dinner. Only Juliana accepted and here you see her beautiful face (photo on the right taken in the restaurant) We had no after-dinner and I never saw her again because the day after I had my flight to Rio and the year after, when I was back in Recife, they told me Juliana had been promoted and was working in São Paulo
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Il giorno dopo vedo del movimento a poca distanza dalla mia sdraio, erano 4 bellissime modelle che giravano uno spot pubblicitario per una TV locale, mi avvicinai e chiesi gentilmente di scattare una foto (purtroppo scattata contro sole non mostra i bellissimi visi delle modelle). Poi chiacchierai con loro e invitai tutte a cena. Solo Juliana accettò l'invito ed ecco il suo viso bellissimo nella foto a destra scattataci dal cameriere del ristorante. Non malignate, purtroppo non ci fu dopocena e non la vidi più perchè il giorno dopo avevo il volo per Rio e l'anno successivo, a Recife, mi dissero che era stata promossa e lavorava a San Paulo

"Piove
sui monti e sulle scale
su petali e parole
sul cuore mio che batte
Piove sui poveri soldati
sui campi abbandonati e sulla mia città....
Chissà se agosto è ancora nostro,
se ancora splende il sole
o poi magari piove..
Chissà se mai la frustrazione
diventa un’emozione
così non piove più.
Piove,
sui banchi della scuola
su ogni mia parola che non riesco a dire,
provo un pò a dimenticare
infatti guardo il mare
e non ci penso più..............."
India
During my trip to India I got chance to visit few places for birding. With my friend Anupam Dash I visited Bhitarkanika (Only place in India where you can find all seven species of kingfishers) Mangroves for kingfishers and Manglajodi wetland for mostly waders and waterfowls. Both these locations are vast and home ground for Anupam. He has been working at thease both locations from decades. He has trained his team member as boat operators and they work with him seamlessly to put the boat at right place and angle to get perfect position for shot as he directs. He is amazing to know the active spots in that vast area at particular time and season. His team takes very little time to reach to place where action is going on considering huge area to cover. Although I was little late in season, he was able to find good number of species for me. If you are visiting any place in India or those places for bird photography, I highly recommend joining Anupam. A big thanks my friend. Here is Bluethroat we photographed at Manglajodi.

Position: The unique 12th-century Rocca Scaligero Castle was built on the remains of ancient Roman fortress and is an unmissable landmark of the spa resort of Sirmione on the Lago di Garda. The whole fortress is surrounded by water, which in ancient times was crucial in defending the city. It is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. The fortress also included a fortified port. Sirmione is a comune and town located in the province of Brescia in the region of Lombardy, Italy.
Gotta be one of my favourite little birds such attitude and character I never tire of them. Have tried for many years to get them in the garden but never succeeded although they are at the top of the street.
