On such a winters day. . . sorry couldn't resist. After yet another cold storm overnight woke up to a winter wonderland. Actually its been storming for the past 7 days so to be a bit more precise there have been 4 storms this past week. Winter storm Piper was the big one from the previous week. Mendocino County, North California, U.S.A.
An accurate astronomical observatory.
Like other platforms on the island, including the lone moai of the Ahu Huri a Urenga, the Ahu Akivi was built following a precise astronomical orientation. In this way they controlled the change of seasons and the most appropriate times for agricultural tasks.
In Akivi the axis of the platform was oriented from north to south, getting the faces of the moai look exactly at the point where the sun sets during the equinox of the austral spring (September 21st) and their backs face the sun of the dawn during the autumn equinox (March 21st).
***
The best time to visit and take pictures is at sunset, which is when the setting sun illuminates the seven statues and highlights their features.
***
The legend of the seven explorers:
In the recent literature on Akivi, the seven statues of the platform are related with the seven young people who were sent to explore the island before its first colonization by King Hotu Matu’a.
A legend says that Hau Maka, the priest of Hotu Matu’a had a dream in which his soul flew across the ocean when he sighted the island. Next, he sent seven explorers sailing through the sea to locate the island, study its conditions and the best area to disembark.
Although the idea that the legend was remembered in stone is attractive, it seems that it can not be true. The moai statues belong to a quite late sculptural period, after the year 1440 AD and historians consider the hypothesis that the first settlers arrived on the island towards the fifth century, so they rule out a possible relationship between both facts.
The restoration that boosted Rapa Nui:
Ahu Akivi was the first ahu to be restored after a small group of islanders, at the request of Thor Heyerdahl, erected the statue of the Ahu Ature Huki on the beach of Anakena in 1956. As a member of that Norwegian expedition was the American anthropologist William Mulloy, who from then on would devote a large part of his life to studying the mysteries of Easter Island.
The reconstruction work in Ahu Akivi began in March 1960 and continued until October of that year. William Mulloy and his Chilean colleague Gonzalo Figueroa worked with an archeologic team of 25 Rapanui people in various phases of excavation and reconstruction. This was the first serious archaeological excavation and the first complete restoration of a ceremonial site in Rapa Nui.
The works were done with hardly any material means, they only used wooden poles, stones and a pair of oxen. But with perseverance, ingenuity and effort they achieved their goal. To raise and place the first moai, they used a stone ramp and two large wooden levers. This operation took a month. However, after perfecting the technique and with the experience gained, it took less than a week to raise the seventh statue.
When the work was finished, Father Sebastian Englert himself gave the blessing at a very emotional opening ceremony. After 150 years the islanders could observe again several moai standing on an ahu.
The restoration of Ahu Akivi is considered a turning point in Rapa Nui. From that moment, other works of restoration of more platforms began. The Ahu Akivi was followed by the ahu of Hanga Kio’e, Tahai, Anakena and Tongariki. The ancient platforms regained their former glory and the small and remote Easter Island attracted the attention of other researchers and travelers. And what is more important, it unleashed a true cultural renaissance, an economic development and a renewed sense of pride in being Rapanui.
When I captured this scene back in July, it was just the onset of yet another summer thunderstorm. One of countless similar images collected over the course of a seemingly endless stream of summer evenings. But they weren't endless. And looking back, this moment, like so many others, has forever escaped my grasp. I didn't post this photo in the moment because I figured there would be a better time, a better storm, better light, or maybe a better frame of mind for me to capture the scene. None of those conditions came to pass. And as it turns out, all of those better things existed only at the precise time I spent gazing across the meadow at this lone tree. I passed by this meadow the other day. The tree is still there. But nothing about the scene looks or feels the same as it did on that stormy July evening back when summer felt endless.
Skylar finished up the precise cuts for the toile poinsettia's, making sure the silvery fabric looked full and exact. Placing a few stitches and a handful of pearls later, she was set to attach them to the dress. A simple sticking charm was all she needed till her thread and needle would finish the work and she would be complete.
Cobie was across the room, as she was looking for a design. Skye looked back and smiled, "You usually look beautiful in a mermaid cut dress, it accentuates your hips but compliments your hourglass shape." She gave the girl a playful wink and began to puncture the needle through the fabric. He wand moving inward and outward creating the correct stitching pattern she needed.
On certain plants, I actually like the leaves as much or more than the flowers. The newer varieties of Hydrangea are one such plant.
The old world Snowball Hydrangea have large and somewhat dull leaves, whereas some of the newer varieties have sturdy, waxy, and deep green leaves which I find so beautiful. And those sawtooth edges are so precise and perfect!
This is the precise moment the Blue Tit's beak pierced a Long Tail's wing during an altercation
But it wasn't that which struck me about it
It was the 'splash' of colour and movement which drew me to the shot
Fortunately taken against a dark background (IMO) it has an almost 'arty' feel to it which I quite like
Unconventionally cropped I know., but for two reasons...
1. To clearly see what was happening
2. To maximize the impact of colour and motion
I understand It wont be to everyone's taste., especially in this tight format
But for me it was something a bit different (which I always love in any shot)
and also because it was taken in our own back garden
En recherche de nectar et pollen, ce spécimen se pose précisément ou je l'ai espéré depuis de longue minutes. J'ai cadré en conservant dans l'angle bas à gauche cette fleur qui sous l'effet du flou évoque une explosion de couleurs. Une photo pensée depuis plusieurs mois mais jamais concrétisée jusqu'à cet instant magique, ou les couleurs et l'ambiance florale évoquent un tableau naturel espéré...
********************************************************************************
In search of nectar and pollen, this specimen arises precisely where I have hoped for many minutes. I framed keeping in the lower left corner this flower which under the effect of blur evokes an explosion of colors. A photo thought for several months but never materialized until this magical moment, where the colors and the floral atmosphere evoke a natural painting hoped for...

Cannot be precise about the location of this shot though it is certainly in the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. It was I believe taken from the road around the small village of Halmnoy .
The mountains of this group of Islands are extraordinary they seem to rise like walls out of the sea. Certainly one of the most beautiful places I have been lucky enough to see.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
In his great Naauwkeurige beschrijving der aardgewassen (=Precise description of plants) (1696), Abraham Munting (1626-1685), well-known hortulanus and professor of botany at Groningen, writes of Columbines that there are 'many enjoyable kinds'. He discusses a few and also adds a list of its medicinal qualities, something contemporary authors don't do.
The tale of how our plant came by its Latin name - Aquilegia - is a love story among the classical Gods. I haven't been able to find an ancient source, but the tale is told by a French Carthusian monk, François le Gentil (1600-1726), in his Le jardenier solitaire (English version in 1706). The word 'solitaire' fits the solitude in which Carthusian monks were supposed to work with an eye to religious devotion but which without doubt might also allow their imaginations free, galloping rein. I gave a summary of his story at

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of 'knolling'
Knolling refers to the practice of arranging similar objects in a precise, perpendicular manner. The goal of knolling is to create a sense of order and clarity in a space by aligning and organizing the objects within it
The term was coined by Andrew Kromelow in the late 1980s and later popularized by artist Tom Sachs. Kromelow was a janitor in Frank Gehry’s Santa Monica studio and had a habit of laying out
Knolling is a term coined by Andrew Kromelow in the late 1980s. Kromelow was a janitor in Frank Gehry’s Santa Monica studio at the time, and he came up with the concept of knolling as a way to organize the tools in the workshop when they were not in use. Kromelow observed that the tools in the workshop were often left in disarray, and he saw the potential for a more efficient and organized workspace by aligning and organizing the tools.
Kromelow’s colleague, artist Tom Sachs was intrigued by Kromelow’s method of organizing the tools. Sachs adopted the practice of knolling in his own studio and began incorporating it into his artwork. He has credited Kromelow as the inspiration for his use of knolling in his art.
Since then, the concept of knolling has gained widespread popularity, especially within the art world. It is often used as a way to photograph and display objects, such as tools or art supplies, in a visually appealing manner. Knolling has also been used as a way to organize and declutter workspaces, allowing for a more efficient and productive environment.
The appeal of knolling lies in its simplicity and minimalism. It is a way to showcase the beauty of everyday objects by presenting them in a clear and organized manner. It is also a way to bring attention to the forms and shapes of the objects themselves, rather than their function or purpose.
In addition to its practical applications, knolling can also be seen as a form of art in and of itself. The arrangement of objects in a knolling display requires a keen eye for balance and composition, as well as a sense of aesthetics. It is a way to transform a collection of seemingly mundane objects into a cohesive and visually striking display.
Overall, knolling is a unique and innovative way to approach organization and display. It is a concept that has gained widespread popularity within the art world and beyond, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Bit of a blast from the past, four years to be precise. Not sure why I've never posted this colour version before - I'm guessing it was because at the time I hung onto the words of youtubers who said we should always shoot low ISO when dealing with landscape photography (now it's quite OK to up your ISO). But I also think it was to do with the fact that it was so, so very windy that day. I recall having to lean into the wind to take this photo (I'm sure Petra has a photo of me actually doing so!) so was scared of camera shake. I also recall having to stand on the shoulder strap of the camera bag so the bag wouldn't blow away, it was that windy.

#leaf
The edge of a succulent leaf, to be precise. Or not so precise, because I think this should be an Aeonium, but there are so many varieties that I couldn't find which variety this is exactly. The leaves are thick, and feel velvety to the touch, because each leaf is covered with a dense fluff of translucent, tiny, tentacle-like hair. And, let's face it, plants in my home need to be: easy to care for. Which succulents definitely are ;)
I've used both extension tubes (10 and 16 mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens to get as close as possible. The image was backlit by a small LED flashlight, and it's a focus stack of 15 images which I've combined in Helicon Focus (method B, radius 6, smoothing 4). Further processed in DXO PhotoLab with local adjustments on the upper right part of the leaf (exposure / highlights) which was a little too bright, because I had to place the flashlight a little off center (on the right) to avoid that it's visible in the image. Further processing in Analog Efex (Detail Extraction and Classic Camera 6 further tweaked). Final tweaks in LR where I'd slighty increased the green saturation, lowered the blacks, and boosted the structure.
HMM, Everyone, and have a safe and nice new week ahead!
Tausendfüßler
Und eigentlich der Blattrand eines kleinen Sukkulenten-Blattes. Auf jeden Fall handelt es sich um ein Dickblattgewächs, vermutlich Aeonium; die Blätter wachsen rosettenförmig, haben eine kleine, nach innen gewölbte Spitze und sind vollständig von einem samtig-dichten Flaum winziger, durchsichtiger Härchen überzogen. Ich habe hier beide Zwischenringe (10 und 16 mm) und den Raynox DCR-250 Makrovorsatz verwendet, um möglichst nah an diese faszinierenden, tentakelartigen Härchen heranzukommen.
Beleuchtet von rechts hinten mit einer kleinen Taschenlampe. Licht direkt von hinten war hier nicht machbar, weil das Blatt kleiner als der Durchmesser des Frontelements der Taschenlampe (1,5 cm) war. Da der rechte obere Teil des Blattes dadurch ein wenig zu hell geraten war, habe ich in DXO mit dem Werkzeug für lokale Anpassungen dort die Spitzlichter und die Belichtung etwas runtergeschraubt. Was noch: Analog Efex, dort nur Detailextrahierung und Klassische Kamera 6 mit eigenen Anpassungen, keine Vignette, die hier nur gestört hätte. Und in LR habe ich noch die Schwarztöne etwas runtergesetzt, die Grün-Sättigung leicht erhöht und die Struktur verstärkt.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
So, there I was, on the lookout before the Grey Refugio - the Grey Lake lookout, to be precise - at a cool 787 feet (that's 240 meters for you fancy folks). Think killer views of the Grey Glacier, which, by the way, is part of this MASSIVE ice field - the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, no big deal. This icy beast boasts a 30-meter (98-foot) wall at its peak and stretches a whopping 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) wide. Now, that's some serious Game of Thrones Winterfell vibes, minus the whole White Walker situation (thankfully!).
Speaking of crazy deep, this Grey Lake is no joke. We're talking over 500 meters (1,640 feet) deep! Don't worry, I did the math for all you non-metric folks.
The view? Unreal. Radiant blue ice everywhere, icebergs chilling in the grey water, and the Patagonian wind giving my face a high five. Talk about a unique experience! Oh, and yeah, I saw some condors soaring around like feathered sky gods. Not bad, Patagonia, not bad at all.
And let me tell you, the panorama was epic. Cerro Paine Grande, the Paine Massif, forests by the lake, rocky hills, and snow-capped peaks that disappeared into the clouds - it was like something out of a painting. The only thing missing was a dramatic ice chunk calving off the glacier (which, to be honest, would have been a bit too close for comfort).
Now, the hike between refuges was intense. So intense, in fact, that most of my pics are from my phone. Blame the crazy strong, freezing wind that threatened to turn my fancy camera lens into a dust bunny magnet. You feel me?
Forget Wall climbing, this was a whole other level! Just descended this sheer rock face with nothin' but my 50-liter (13,2-gallon) pack and camera gear to hold me back. Talk about a sketchy scramble! (Especially since that climb down there, lookin' all innocent, is still waitin' for me.) And get this - gotta trek another 6 klicks (that's 3.73 miles, for you fancy folks) to the Grey Refuge, with nary a flat stretch in sight. Anyone got a spare dragon lyin' around? This Khaleesi needs a lift!
"You must not know too much, or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and water-craft; a certain free margin, and even vagueness - perhaps ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things..."

Thus... my photograph of a fluttery thing on purplish/yellow flowers.
Limodorum abortivum (Orchidaceae) 126 23
The name Limodorum abortivum refers to the small size of the leaves and the way they sheath the stem. Abortivum literally means aborted leaves.
It is a curious orchid that still requires study to determine its precise biology. Although it is widely considered an entirely saprophytic plant, there are indications that it may be (at least partly) parasitic. Two factors in particular confound the issue: firstly, the stem has been shown to contain measurable levels of chlorophyll, and secondly, the plant is dependent on mycorrhizal fungi for its entire existence.
This is a widespread species with a distribution from Belgium in the north, North Africa in the south and at least as far as Russia in the east. It does not occur in Britain and reaches the height of it's abundance in the southern Mediterranean where it is predominantly found on calcareous soils and usually associated with pine forest. This close proximity to living pine trees is another link with possible parasitism but as already mentioned, the physiology is not yet fully understood.
Je précise qu'il s'agissait de jeu entre chiens se connaissant et non d'une bagarre...

I want to clarify that it was a game between dogs who knew each other, not a fight

Hope you like it =D
As promised, we are back today in the beautiful birch forest near Tisa in Bohemian Switzerland. To be more precise, we are standing in front of it today and have the sunrise behind us.
It's amazing how much this angle changes the effect of the picture.
The morning mist lies heavy on last year's slightly frozen grass, which crunches and rustles with every step you walk over.
The temperatures are near freezing and an icy wind is blowing in my face. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, there is a poignant silence here that immediately affects me and totally relaxes me.
The more strenuous part of the morning is still waiting for me here. Because after taking the photos from here, I walked across this bumpy meadow down into the forest, which you can see in the background here.
The other pictures that you have seen so far were taken there.
Wie versprochen sind wir heute zurück im dem schönen Birkenwald bei Tisa in der Böhmischen Schweiz. Genauer gesagt stehen wir heute davor und haben den Sonnenaufgang im Rücken.
Es ist schon erstaunlich, wie sehr dieser Blickwinkel die Wirkung des Bildes verändert.
Der Morgennebel liegt schwer auf dem leicht angefrorenen Gras vom letzten Jahr, welches bei jedem Schritt knirscht und raschelt, wenn man darüber läuft.
Die Temperaturen liegen im Bereich des Gefrierpunktes und mir weht ein eisiger Wind ins Gesicht. Trotzdem, oder gerade deshalb, herrscht hier eine ergreifende Stille, die sich sofort auf mich auswirkt und mich total entspannt.
Der etwas anstrengendere Teil des Morgens wartet hier noch auf mich. Denn nach den Aufnahmen von hier bin ich über diese Huckel Wiese hinunter in den Wald gelaufen, den man hier im Hintergrund sehen kann.
Dort sind dann die anderen Bilder entstanden, die Ihr bisher gesehen habt.

This foxy fella’s pounce was a precise pinpoint on the vole under the snow and grass - he caught three or four voles in a very short time.
The Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM), alternatively "Eocene thermal maximum 1 (ETM1)" and formerly known as the "Initial Eocene" or "Late Paleocene thermal maximum", was a geologically brief time interval characterized by a 5–8 °C (9–14 °F) global average temperature rise and massive input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere.[1][2] The event began, now formally codified, at the precise time boundary between the Paleocene and Eocene geological epochs.[3] The PETM lasted about 200,000 years, and occurred about 56 million years ago.

Here’s and another image from my archives, taken in 1986 to be precise from the south tower rooftop observation platform of the World Trade Center take with my Minolta X-700 SLR. The Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges and East River all clearly visible. I never did go up to the top of the WTC again and obviously it was destroyed on September 11th 2001. Did not imagine that 1986 would be the last time on that observation platform, always imagined taking my kids but kept putting it off. For those of us that live here in the New York City when you carefully look at the area surrounding the Brooklyn Bridge you realize how much that area has changed in 32 years, no Jane’s Carousel, boarded up Empire Warehouse and to the south where today is Brooklyn Bridge Parks grassy knolls there was unused warehouse space. On the Manhattan side today a 800 foot 71 story tower dwarfs the bridge on its north. Interestingly enough though under the Brooklyn Bridge is a Circleline Boat which still is in operation with it tours of New York City.

Kinnoull Tower, Perth, Scotland
…….well 14 hours later to be precise.
Having scouted and shot the scene the evening before and checked out the forecast, I knew there was a chance of some fog/low cloud the following morning so I set off in the dark, parked up as close as I could and retraced my steps up Kinnoull Hill to one of the tower overlooks. Conditions were totally different to the sunset the day before - just as beautiful to me but in a different way.

After yesterday we were in the dense forest, today we return to a little more open terrain.
To be more precise, we are back at the sunrise in the Königsbrueck Heather from two weeks ago. On the photo you can see quite well that the heather blossom is far from at its peak. You can see the typical purple color everywhere, but you can see from the flowers in the foreground that there is much more possible.
If the weather cooperates, I plan to go there again next weekend.
As you can also see, the sunrise has been here for a while, because the sun has now reached a height that it can shine over the tops of the birch trees. By the way, that was the moment I saw it for the first time this morning. Then the band of clouds, which had stubbornly clung to the horizon up to this point, had finally begun to dissolve.
Nachdem wir gestern im dichten Wald waren kehren wir heute zurück in etwas offeneres Gelände.
Genauer gesagt sind wir zurück beim Sonnenaufgang in der Königsbrücker Heide von vor zwei Wochen. Auf dem Foto kann man ganz gut sehen, dass die Heideblüte noch lange nicht auf ihrem Höchststand ist. Man sieht zwar überall den typischen Lila Farbton, doch man erkennt an den Blüten im Vordergrund, dass da noch viel mehr möglich ist.
Wenn das Wetter mit spielt plane ich nächstes Wochenende nochmal einen Ausflug dort hin.
Wie Ihr auch sehen könnt, ist der Sonnenaufgang hier schon eine Zeit vorbei, den die Sonne hat jetzt eine Höhe erreicht, dass sie über die Wipfel der Birken hinweg scheinen kann. Das war übrigens der Moment, wo ich sie das erste mal gesehen habe an diesem Morgen. Da hatte das Wolkenband, welches sich bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt hartnäckig am Horizont festgehalten hat, begonnen sich endlich aufzulösen.

After our steep climb we arrived at the area where all the monkeys were gathering, approximately 120 Japanese macaques to be precise. We were advised not to stare at them and not to touch them, since they were still considered to be wild animals.

Had been on a trip to Kuttiady, a town in the Kozhikode district of Kerala, India. The place is known for the Kuttiady Hydro Electric Project situated along the banks of the Kuttiady River. This was clicked at the Kakkayam Dam reservoir, a part of the project. Kakkayam is on the outskirts of the Western Ghats and the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary. Kakkayam has an abundant wildlife population and is also a trekking and rock climbing destination. Even though we reached before the place opened, the light was harsh, but the weather was suitably pleasant.
These images capture the mesmerizing beauty of water drop collisions, achieved using a Pluto Trigger and Pluto Valve for precise timing. The top layer consists of milk, while the base is water infused with red food coloring. The contrast creates a stunning visual interplay of fluid motion, forming delicate structures that last for just a fleeting moment.
Each droplet descends in milliseconds, rebounding into an intricate dance as the next drop collides. The swirling milk and red water create otherworldly forms—some resembling volcanic eruptions, others evoking the sense of a rising phoenix. The physics behind each shot is as captivating as the aesthetic result.
