Riverside, Cambridge. It's absolutely freezing out there today, but at least the sun is out and just take a look at that Autumn sky! This bird, up by the Technology Museum, was observing the construction of the new footbridge across the River Cam!
Times so bad that even angels would wish to crouch and hide, others would prefer death to endless suffering, others again might wish to have never been born in the first place. So many men with guns pulling the religious traditions through the dirt. So much hypocrisy in the 'defence' of democracy; such a corrupted language defining the 'other'; so much violence masquerading as justified reactions. So little preparedness to step into the other's shoes. I could go on. However, when angels are helpless, and when violence is going to create even more violence, the foetal position is the wrong choice. We got to stand up and walk.

“Utrecht (/ˈjuːtrɛkt/ YOO-trekt, Dutch: [ˈytrɛxt]; Utrecht dialect: Ut(e)reg [ˈyt(ə)ʁɛχ]) is the fourth-largest city of the Netherlands, as well as the capital and the most populous city of the province of Utrecht. The municipality of Utrecht is located in the eastern part of the Randstad conurbation, in the very centre of mainland Netherlands, and includes Haarzuilens, Vleuten and De Meern. It has a population of 361,699 as of December 2021.
Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures, several dating as far back as the High Middle Ages. It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century. In 1579, the Union of Utrecht was signed in the city to lay the foundations for the Dutch Republic. Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was surpassed by Amsterdam as the country's cultural centre and most populous city.
Utrecht is home to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutions of higher education. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important hub for both rail and road transport; it has the busiest railway station in the Netherlands, Utrecht Centraal. It has the second-highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world's unsung places.”

The position of the present church is probably the site of St Clarus's 9th century wattle and daub oratory. Originally built by the Normans, the Grade I-listed Church of St Clarus was rebuilt in the 13th century and additions made in the 14th and 15th centuries. It has a fine tower 97 feet high with four typical Cornish pinnacles.

We had a busy weekend with lots of company and actives. While Della enjoyed all the visitors I think she was happy this morning to take up her usual position on the couch in the sun and keep an eye out for squirrels. Although I must admit she didn't last long before she took a little nap.
I wanted to add a little twist for capturing the popular architecture, Disney concert Hall.
While I was testing and exploring the panorama composition, a woman with the dog walked by.
The dog briefly stopped and watched the hall, then they left. (I accidentally captured the scene )
I just wondered what the dog thinking about looking at the gigantic house (for him), and I wanted to put into my feeling to the image with some post process. (Maybe I projected myself to the dog.)
The dog was real, but I shifted the position of the dog (to the center), and let the owner go. (sorry about that)

Ma dove guardano ormai
quegli occhi spenti che hai?
Cos’è quel buio che li attraversa?
Hai tutta l’aria di chi
da un po’ di tempo oramai
ha dato la sua anima per dispersa.
Non si uccide un dolore
anestetizzando il cuore
c’è una cosa che invece puoi fare
se vuoi se vuoi se vuoi..
Parla con me, parlami di te
io ti ascolterò
vorrei capire di più
quel malessere dentro che hai tu.
Parla con me, tu provaci almeno un po’
non ti giudicherò
perchè una colpa se c’è
non si può dare solo a te.
Parla con me, tu dimmi che cosa c’è
io ti risponderò,
se vuoi guarire però
prova un po’ a innamorarti di te....
Law Connect is owned by software developer Christian Beck, and is a member of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA). It was one of the few 100 footers in the race. Here the motor has started to move the yacht into position to sail back home again. These yachts are so expensive they are not left sitting idle for too long.
On the far wharf on the right hand side is another 100 footer, Scallywag from Hong Kong, which finished third in line honours.

Well I finally got a Lenticular Cloud near Mt Rainier! Actually, this cloud was forming to the east of the mountain, but since I am on the west side shooting east, the cloud looks to be forming right above the mountain! I saw this driving from my house in Issaquah. I left around 4:00pm to get to the mountain. "Plenty of Time, " I thought. Heck no, traffic was a nightmare! It normally takes me about two hours to get to Mt Rainier from where I live, and where I had to stop, I was still an hour away!
Oh well, I needed to make the best of the spot I found. The location is actually "Dogwood Park," just north of the town of Eatonville. The park is located just off the side of the road next to this fantastic pasture and this spot totally worked for me! I wish I could have arrived about ten minutes sooner, as the mountain was really lighting up!
I returned to this location around midnight, as I had proceeded to Mt Rainier only to be turned around by a Park Ranger. They do not allow people inside the park due to potential avalanche danger. Well then, change of plans. I decided to set up shop above a little creek outside of the Longmire Lodge and shoot a time lapse video of the moon rise!
So After a while, I then returned to "Dogwood Park" and this great vantage point! I shot a cool time lapse of the swirling clouds and rotating stars by moonlight! I also captured the feeding habits of the horses in the pasture! I will post those later. I want you to be able to enjoy this!
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I tightened the crop in Photoshop as well as ran through Topaz Adjust to bring back some detail. Highlight adjustments, noise reduction and slight added vignette added in Lightroom.
Thank you for your views, comments, and faves. I really appreciate them. I am starting to slow down a bit so that I can spend a little more time immersed inside your photostreams!

Just been looking through my photos to add a few more to a talk I'm giving on Friday evening and came across this one. I obviously intended to post it as it has been resized, but never got round to it. Here it is now then, better late than never!

Orion standing 'military ramrod straight' and unsupported on his rear legs surveying the scene. Not sitting, yet poised and ready to go, he does this spontaneously when his view is obstructed by tall grass/weeds/cattail stalks/etc. The position can be held for (say) 5-6 seconds, then he slowly lowers to his all fours. He will repeat as needed until he's satisfied all is OK. It's as if his hips are hinged and seems to take no effort at all. I find his behavior... Amazing !
BTW: the black device on his neck houses a small receiver and tiny speaker. When he ranges out, a touch on my transmitter produces a very quiet 'beep' at his ear. He is trained to stop on that sound and turn his attention towards me for further directions via hand signals (come, go left/right/forward/back, or stop). I need not shout his name/orders, or raise a game frightening ruckus to get his attention. As such, we communicate silently which keeps our stress levels low. Working with Orion is a ton of fun and he seems to love it, too.

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Hinds scrapping for herd position?
London Royal Parks
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.
And now for the rinse…
It was an absolute treat to watch a flock of some 30+ Sanderlings enjoying bath time as the small waves of Pensacola Bay rolled in just after sunrise. I’m not sure what the order represented, maybe family units, possibly some pre-conceived risk-to-reward, not too many in the water at one time for safety’s sake methodology but for some odd reason only two to three would bathe at a time. They would march out from the dry sand area about 4-5 feet, bend down with their beaks fully extended, allowing the wave to wash completely over them.
As soon as the wave passed, they would shake wildly, preening intentionally…like stinky parts…wing pits and personals…just in time to assume the position for the next wave. After 2-4 waves they would leap straight up in the air and fly back to the flock, quickly being replaced by a member of the posse.
Good clean natural adventure before dementia!

China, Harbin, City Impressions, Twin Bridges in a Park
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, with almost four million residents, located south of Heilongjiang. Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911 Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history. At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, done to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture.
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
Also the large Siberian Tiger research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does a important work to prevent this specie from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tiger.
