A male Bronzed Cowbird displays in response to a nearby, vocalizing Tropical Kingbird. This interspecies interaction took place at the Mayan site of Tulum in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Tulum, located on the Yucatan Peninsula, has a unique coastal position on the Caribbean Sea.
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.

For most travellers to Far-West Tibet (Ngari) in Purang county, the prime focus of their journey is the sacred peak of Mount Kailash (6714 m), Tibetan name is Gang Ti Se. This extraordinary mountain is regarded as the `heart of the world`, the àxis mundi`,the centre of Asia, by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and followers of other spiritual traditions. Of all the special destinations for the traveller to reach, Mount Kailash is surely one of the most sublime and sacred. Its geographical position as the watershed of South Asia is unique and it is this which gives it a cosmic geomantic power. From its slopes flow four great rivers in the four cardinal directions - the Senge Tsangpo སེང་གཙང་པོ་ (Indus River) north, the Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) east, Karnali south into the Ganges གང་ག་, and the Langchen Tsangpo གཙང་པོ་ ( Sutlej River) west.
Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek ("Nine stacked Svastikas").
This Say's phoebe has caught itself a nice fly. I appreciated the fact if flew back to the same perch after it flew down into some long grass to grab it.
Every time I look at this image, I think the beak is extra big, like an auk's, because of the position of the fly's wing.

Love the wing position on this one. One of the cool things about short-eared owls is that they can range in colour like this bird from very dark to almost white. Generally speaking, the females are the darker birds and the males tend to be the lighter colored ones. It can be a real guessing game though depending on their location in the world and their environmental adaptation.
A client of mine is looking to add choreographed routines to their bi-monthly events. Info below
Thank you for your interest in the Cabaret Choreography Position!
L&H has 2 main venues, Love&Harmony Jazz Club with over 4000 active group members, and our new Orchide's Private Club.
Each venue hosts various events throughout the month, themed tribute concerts and much more along with an active ballroom.
CHOREOGRAPHY POSITION:
We are looking for a talented individual that can piece together "Cabaret" style routes 2 times a month (some routes can be used over and over on different dates with outfit changes I'm sure).
Support from venue will be provided for various items as needed (props, costumes, etc).
This isn't an "our venue" only position. If you perform and do choreography at another venue, that is great! We support everyone and just looking for something that can devote some time to putting on semi-regular routes at our venue.
Contact Orchide2 or Samual Wetherby if you have any questions.

2020 has been my best ever year for foxes and this is one of my favourite photos of the year.
I had photographed this huge dog fox at a distance but this was the only time I had him come this close. He was feeding well grown cubs so was forced to hunt during the day.
I watched him for several minutes as he slowly made his way towards me with just the tips of his ears showing above the long grass. When he was in the perfect position I gave a tiny squeak between my teeth and he stopped an lifted his head a few inches.
I toggled the single focus point onto his eye through the gap in the grass and took a single shot, then he slowly disappeared into the hedge and that was the last I saw of him.

Arcos de la Frontera
One of Andalucia's most dramatically positioned pueblos blancos (white villages), Arcos balances atop a rocky limestone ridge, its whitewashed houses and stone castle walls stopping abruptly as a sheer cliff face plunges down to the river Guadalete below.
Declared a national historic-artistic monument in 1962 in recognition of its exceptional architecture and impressive location, the old town is a tangled labyrinth of cobbled streets that lead up to a sandstone castle, the Castillo de los Arcos. As you’d expect from such a spectacular vantage point, there are exhilarating views over the town and the rolling plain below.
Although its time under the Moors was one of its most successful, Arcos has had a long history of occupation, as shown by the discovery of numerous archaeological remains from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Tartessian, Phoenician and Roman periods. Plentiful water and its superb defensive hilltop location were the main attractions for settlers.

I initially intend to post this yesterday but i was too tied up with some work i've facing at this moment & a bit of a bad run of luck lately too (that excludes the crap exam btw :P) haha! oh well, just gotta laugh over it to make myself feel better. I am hardly not at home since early hours of the morning for the past 3 days & was dead tired by the time i came back home. With not much of a choice, i guess i will have to make monday a churchy day instead for once :D Hope you will enjoy this nonetheless. Cheers!

For Looking Close... on Friday!
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.

took a nice long drive down to my cousin's grad party, thought a little video would help pass the time.
The uMhlanga lighthouse was completed in 1954. Construction was completed in four days and 19 hours. The circular concrete tower, painted white with a red band at the top, stands 21 metres above the beach and has a focal plane height of 25 metres. The fixed red light enables ships waiting to anchor in the outer anchorage, to monitor their position. If the red light is undetectable, the ship's anchors have probably dragged and are too close to shore. The lighthouse has never had an official ‘keeper’. The Oyster Box Hotel, which was built in 1869, has been the tower’s custodian. The construction of the lighthouse cost R23 838. There are 95 steps to the top of the uMhlanga Lighthouse.

Not completely accidental, I was aware of the moon's position and tried to focus on / frame any birds passing in front of it (which is easier said than done!).

Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
Well Jupiter is a gas planet with no hard surface and extremely cold and whilst Mars may be almost habitable in the day - it is also very cold at night. Neither of course have a breathable atmosphere. So maybe see what spring is like in Boca Rotan instead.

My positioning for this shot, as you may have guessed from the title, was somewhat precarious. My tripod and I were perched on top of this MASSIVE, slick boulder resting along Raven Fork in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This amazing striated cascade was huge; each of the boulders you see in this shot are approximately car-sized or larger. The wide angle lens just doesn't always do justice towards capturing the immensity of objects when they are further out from the camera. Beneath me is the tumultuous water, and to my left (and down about 10 feet) is a very deep pool. I'm all for searching out the best position for the tripod and composition for the photo, but here the options were mostly limited by my location - thankfully my only option was a decent one, in my opinion! Recent rain made all these boulders very slick, also. Definitely an interesting position to be in!
Raven Fork is a large creek/stream/river that begins near Tricorner Knob on the AT and eventually flows down through the town of Cherokee, NC. Upstream from this location is backcountry site #47, while further downstream Enloe Creek enters Raven Fork and the two carve their way through a section known as 'The Gorges'. I'm trying to plan a trip exploring off-trail in this area for some not often seen shots. Backcountry site #47 is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, in the whole park. There are massive cascades/falls all through the river in the area. A brutal hike is required to get in. If you leave from Straight Fork Road, you have about 3 miles (not that long) but about 1800' up then another 1000' down. If you leave from Smokemont, it's about 8 or 9 miles including a steep climb up the Chasteen Creek Trail and down the Enloe Creek Trail. It's worth the effort though!
