Emerging from the waves., a diver of some sort
Question is: Which variety of Diver?
Great Northern is our guess., But they have different markings/plumage's depending on sex/age/season
Truth is we're just not expert enough to precisely nail it down
So suggestions welcome on this one....
Ein Spiegel für das, was man nicht sagt
Die Tundra zeigt nichts Überflüssiges. Und gerade deshalb zeigt sie alles. Wer dort steht, sieht plötzlich die eigenen Gedanken klarer, weil nichts da ist, das sie übertönt.
A mirror for what remains unsaid
The tundra reveals nothing superfluous. And that is precisely why it reveals everything. Standing there, you suddenly see your own thoughts more clearly, because there is nothing to drown them out.
A painter can't do this, a writer can't do this, a sculptor can't do this :-)

... of the American sycophant and spittle licker is precisely 6.5 cm. Spittle lickers are a universal phenomenon, but in Washington DC they are congregating in huge numbers, particularly in the Government where they lick the shoe soles (and other unmentionables) of GNOTUS (Great Narcissist of the US). The world is watching with disgust. Fuji X-Pro1.
Twice a year, the sun rises precisely behind the old coaling tower at DeKalb, IL, with the windows letting the light shine through from the other side, as long as the skies are clear. This was the view on 2-29-16.
* The photo is of antique ruins --more precisely 300 a.c--which, according to archaeologists are partly Greek and partly Roman.
These ruins are in North-East Spain, not far from the French border.
Knowing where to look and knowing what you are looking for will not get you a glimpse of the Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63 for the astronomers). A "go to mount" or more precisely, a stable tripod and a motorized mount with a library of the directions to deep sky objects will get your camera or telescope trained on this eerie cluster of nebulae, 550 light years away.
That giant W hanging in the sky is the Constellation Cassiopeia, consisting of 5 bright stars. The star in the middle is named Gamma Cassiopeiae, and it is a monster--19 times more massive than our sun, 65,000 times brighter, rotating 200 times faster. Its light falls on the Ghost Nebula, several light years distant. Its UV radiation is absorbed by hydrogen gas, which gains energy and then loses it, releasing light from the red portion of the spectrum. Gamma Cassiopeia also releases blue light, which is then reflected by dust in the Ghost. So the Ghost is both an emission and a reflection nebula.

"Listening and watching of a Great Grey Owl".
I watched this Great Grey Owl as she flew silently over the meadow watching but more precisely listening for voles.
You can see how she suddenly changes her focus as she obviously heard something from a completely different direction.
Snails hopefully! This female Snail Kite was hovering for just a moment to precisely locate her next snack just below the water's surface.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
This image was taken, precisely, across the street from the sleek, modern building that precedes this image in my Flickr stream.
I Giganti di Peccioli si trovano poco fuori dal borgo, precisamente all’interno del Triangolo Verde, l’impianto di smaltimento e trattamento rifiuti di Legoli. Un’area, quella della discarica, diventata un vero e proprio centro polifunzionale dove vengono organizzati anche congressi, sfilate, concerti e molto altro ancora. Due dei quattro Giganti si trovano proprio all’interno del Triangolo Verde. Le sculture, che rappresentano figure umane note come “Presenze”, sono il simbolo della trasformazione e della rinascita del luogo.
The Giants of Peccioli are located just outside the village, precisely within the Green Triangle, the Legoli waste disposal and treatment plant. The landfill site has become a multipurpose center where conferences, parades, concerts, and much more are also held. Two of the four Giants are located within the Green Triangle. The sculptures, representing human figures known as "Presences," symbolize the transformation and rebirth of the site.

Est une espèce de passereaux. Auparavant placé dans la famille des Turdidae, il figure actuellement, avec d'autres représentants de celle-ci (particulièrement les tariers et les traquets), dans celle des Muscicapidae. Le mâle et la femelle sont presque identiques, avec une couronne, des ailes, le dessus et la queue de couleur brune, une bande grise sur les côtés de la gorge, un ventre blanc et la fameuse « gorge rouge », plus précisément de couleur orange foncé tirant vers le rouge. Bien que sa face et sa poitrine soient plus orangées que rougeâtres, cet oiseau prend le nom familier de rouge-gorge au Moyen Âge. Cette contradiction est due à ce que la dénomination de la couleur orange n'apparaît en Europe qu'au xvie siècle, par la diffusion sur ce continent de l'orange douce (le fruit) rapportée à la fin du xve siècle par les Portugais de Ceylan et de Chine.
L'âge maximal d'un rouge-gorge est de 18 ans.

Is a species of passerines. Previously placed in the Turdidae family, it currently appears, along with other representatives of this family (particularly augers and wheatear), in that of the Muscicapidae. The male and the female are almost identical, with a crown, wings, upper and tail of brown color, a gray band on the sides of the throat, a white belly and the famous "red throat", more precisely of color. dark orange tending to red. Although its face and chest are more orange than reddish, this bird took the colloquial name of robin in the Middle Ages. This contradiction is due to the fact that the name of the color orange does not appear in Europe until the sixteenth century, by the distribution on this continent of the sweet orange (the fruit) reported at the end of the fifteenth century by the Portuguese of Ceylon and China.
The maximum age for a robin is 18.
I don't have a name for this cute little Bee. It seems that there are so many different species, some very similar, that they are almost impossible to identify precisely.
I love seeing them rub their plump little belly against the pollen-charged anthers with so much enthusiasm that you would swear they are having a ball :) /
Je ne connais pas le nom de cette mignonne petite Abeille. Il semble qu'il y ait tant d'espèces, certaines très semblables, qu'il soit quasiment impossible de les identifier précisément.
J'adore les regarder frotter leur petit ventre dodu contre les anthères couvertes de pollen, avec tellement d'enthousiasme qu'on pourrait croire qu'elles y prennent un énorme plaisir :)

Sensor oxidation is visible at the top of photographs. Usually when there's a blue or clear sky.
It looks like an elongated dust spot. If I don't touch the photo with Lightroom, it's precisely to show the sensor oxidation.
This message will appear on all photographs.
I have a UV/IR filter on my lens.
LEICA, SAVE THE M9. PLEASE.
--------------------------------------------------------
La oxidacion del sensor se ve en la parte superior de las fotografias.Generalmente cuando hay un cielo azul,o claro.
Parece una mancha alargada de polvo.Si no toco la foto con Lightroom es para que se vea,precisamente,la oxidacion del sensor.
Este mensaje aparecera en todas las fotografias.
En el objetivo llevo puesto un filtro UV IR.
LEICA SALVA LA M9.POR FAVOR.
Creo que Leica tendria que darnos una solucion.
Kingfishers are impressive hunters: perched on a branch, they keep a close watch on the water and dive in at lightning speed - reaching up to 40 km/h - to catch small fish. Thanks to their exceptional eyesight, they can precisely spot their prey even beneath the water's surface.
Eisvögel sind beeindruckende Jäger: Von einem Ast aus beobachten sie aufmerksam das Wasser und stürzen sich blitzschnell mit bis zu 40 km/h hinein, um kleine Fische zu fangen. Dank ihres hervorragenden Sehvermögens können sie ihre Beute sogar unter der Wasseroberfläche präzise erkennen.
It seems like whenever it's an overcast and rainy day, that's precisely when a bird is going to show-up that I've been wanting to photograph. My first Scarlet Tanager.
A striped brush.
More precisely, it's a sonic toothbrush replaceable head, whose stripes race side-to-side at roughly 250 hertz, or 15,000 oscillations per minute, to do its plaque-busting task. (For comparison, the electricity from your outlet alternates at 50 or 60 Hz, depending on your country.)
The stripes are not all show and no go. The dye in the dark blue pair of bristles fade with use, giving a visual indication the brush head needs replacing.

Goder is described in the sagas as the religious and political leader or chief of his district who was called godord (goðorð). In Iceland, every ninth farmer had a duty to accompany his property to the Althing if the estate demanded it, and whoever escaped had to pay the courtier's costs. At the parliament, the most important men met for a discussion and the parliament was the most important hub in Norse society. In addition to court proceedings and judging between right and wrong, the youth held competitions in sports and beer parties were held for friends and relatives, news was told and connections were made and alliances formed. Poets and storytellers contributed to the entertainment.
Goden was the chief of his district and those under him were his courtiers. The relationship between them was free. The magistrate promised good support and he in turn guaranteed his magistrates protection. If they did not agree, the magistrate could choose another good one. The area of goods, good words, was thus not precisely delimited. The good words were hereditary, but could also be sold.

The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
This is about belonging. Or, more precisely, about where you think you are belonging. It's not the open skies above all and everyone without distinction. Is it these little garages? Closer. It's the flag that gives it away. We are English. English spoken here. Our two surviving pubs are still in English hands. Our imagined community is an English one. However, the community we actually live in has grown beyond that. The doctors in our local surgery are from India, Pakistan, Europe. Our pharmacy is run by African and Asian pharmacists. Our two shops are run by Asians, the two restaurants as well and when you call a taxi it would have an Asian driver. The fish and chips shop is Turkish and the delivery drivers would come from Africa and various countries of the Near East, the Indian subcontinent and Eastern Europe. At the petrol station you would be served by people with an Asian background. All the hospitals in our vicinity have international staff. I could continue. I have nothing against Englishness. I am grateful to England, as it were, for having given me a second chance to live my life and I have always regarded it as 'grace' that the city of Birmingham, so much destroyed by the bombing raids of the Nazis, supplied me, someone from Hamburg, a city almost flattened by the allied bombing raids, with an opportunity to heal the damage of the past. All I am saying is that the current phenomenon of flag-waving is in considerable tension with the realities on the ground and that the real battleground is not imagined identity but the profound inequality in terms of having access to the good life.

Morning on a beach near Hua Hin in Thailand. Or more precisely, a small village just south of it.
The local fishing fleet is getting ready to begin their work for the day.
To witness something like this, you have to get up very early, because that's exactly what the hardworking fishermen do. When I arrived, it was before sunrise. And I wasn't the first one there.
Morgens an einem Strand bei Hua Hin in Thailand. Oder genauer gesagt einem kleinen Dorf südlich davon.
Die örtliche Fischereiflotte macht sich gerade bereit, ihrem Tagwerk nachzugehen.
Um so etwas mitzuerleben, muss man schon sehr früh aufstehen, denn das tun die fleißigen Fischer auch. Als ich hier ankam, war das noch vor Sonnenaufgang. Und da war ich nicht der Erste.
It's a really spacial border, especially nowadays...
The Polish-Russian border on the Vistula Spit (or more precisely - between Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast) is one of the most unusual in Europe. The external border of the European Union and NATO runs here, and the dividing line is marked by a narrow, spit. After the Second World War, this narrow strip of land between the Baltic Sea and the Vistula Lagoon was divided between Poland and the USSR. There is a mesh fence across the beach and several meters into the water. Behind it, the exclusion zone begins and about 250 meters away is the border of the two countries. The border cannot be crossed here, but its surroundings are a beautiful place for a walk.

Płot graniczny na Mierzei Wiślanej. Specyficzne miejsce, zwłaszcza w dzisiejszych czasach...
Granica polsko-rosyjska na Mierzei Wiślanej (a dokładnie miedzy polską a Obwodem Kaliningradzkim) jest jedną z najbardziej niezwykłych w całej Europie. Przebiega tu zewnętrzna granica Unii Europejskiej oraz NATO, a linia podziału wyznaczona została przez wąską, niezamieszkałą w tym miejscu mierzeję. Ten wąski pas lądu oblewany przez Morze Bałtyckie oraz wody Zalewu Wiślanego po II wojnie światowej został podzielony miedzy Polskę a ZSRR. W poprzek plaży oraz kilkanaście metrów wgłąb wody stoi siatka. Za nią rozpoczyna się strefa zamknięta i około 250 metrów dalej jest granica obu państw. Granicy nie można tu przekraczać, jednak jej okolice to piękne miejsce na spacer.
The Mausoleum of Theodoric, in Ravenna, is the most famous funerary construction of the Ostrogoths. We do not know precisely when and by whom it was built, that is to say if its realization was provided by theodoric the Great himself still alive (therefore before 526), or if his daughter Amalasunta provided for it close to the death of his father.
The mausoleum is included, since 1996, in the list of Italian world heritage sites by UNESCO, within the serial site "Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna".
Il Mausoleo di Teodorico, a Ravenna, è la più celebre costruzione funeraria degli Ostrogoti. Non sappiamo con precisione quando e da chi fu costruito, vale a dire se alla sua realizzazione provvedesse lo stesso Teodorico il Grande ancora in vita (pertanto prima del 526), o se vi provvedesse la figlia Amalasunta a ridosso della morte del padre.
Il mausoleo è inserito, dal 1996, nella lista dei siti italiani patrimonio dell'umanità dall'UNESCO, all'interno del sito seriale "Monumenti paleocristiani di Ravenna".
Mainau, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.
Mainau es una isla de Alemania, localizada en el Lago de Constanza y más precisamente en la parte noroccidental conocida como lago de Überlingen (Überlinger See). La isla está conectada por el sur con la tierra firme mediante un puente.
Mainau se encuentra comprendida en el territorio comunal de la ciudad de Constanza y de hecho la mejor forma de llegar a la misma es por medio del transporte urbano de esta ciudad, que tiene una línea de autobús con parada en el acceso a la isla. Ésta es un importante destino turístico gracias a su suave clima, merced al cual alberga una vegetación muy rica en especies, incluso subtropicales y tropicales.
La entrada a la isla se hace previo pago, pero su cuidada vegetación, los millones de flores que la decoran (como es evidente, fundamentalmente en los meses de primavera y verano), sus invernaderos de palmas y de mariposas - en el cual estas sobrevuelan libremente a los visitantes y son de gran variedad y grandes tamaños -, su espacio con variados tipos de columpios complejos, y su pequeña zona con diferentes animales, junto a otros detalles, son de un interés objetivo.
De acuerdo con todo lo anterior, el lugar también es denominado La isla de las flores.
Mainau is an island in Germany, located on Lake Constance and more precisely in the northwestern part known as Lake Überlingen (Überlinger See). The island is connected by the south with the mainland by means of a bridge.
Mainau is included in the communal territory of the city of Constanza and in fact the best way to get there is through the urban transport of this city, which has a bus line with stop at the access to the island. This is an important tourist destination thanks to its mild climate, thanks to which it shelters a vegetation very rich in species, even subtropical and tropical.
The entrance to the island is made after payment, but its careful vegetation, the millions of flowers that decorate it (as is evident, mainly in the months of spring and summer), its greenhouses of palms and butterflies - in which they fly over freely to visitors and they are of great variety and size - their space with varied types of complex swings, and their small area with different animals, together with other details, are of an objective interest.
In agreement with all the previous thing, the place also is denominated the island of the flowers.
Done in the almost pitch dark, by using long exposure, remote switch on camera and torchlight - more precisely waving a torch around and about and up and down until enough seconds seemed ok! (11 secs here). Good fun.
solvang has many different personalities. preserved for ages. it's a city that I would love going back to over and over. there's not much going on and precisely the reason why most people go there.

He did accidently drop fish to ground. We noticed how precisely he ate head first, rest of fish in contact. Except for a few Talon marks on body.
Honestly if you were a bird wouldn’t you prefer to bath in this birdbath over a puddle? Well of course you would and precisely why we supply such a venue, lol. We have no fewer than four on the property. One of my weekly chores in my retirement is yard maintenance is looking after our many and varied feathered friends. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness can smooth out the rough edges in life.
► ▓░█ ALTHOUGH THERE'S still five to six minutes left until the astronomical sunset, ideal horizon lies here behind the dykes and other relief blocking the view. So it appears that this is precisely the sunset. –Note in the distance the usual euphoric bird play around this time (or sunrise) with the setting Sun as backstage.

There is a time somewhere between the golden hour and the blue hour when bad things happen. It's the time when a pet dogs returns home dragging its leash, owner no where to be found. Or the time when a cop shines his flashlight into a parked car in some remote location. He sees only a camera bag on the passenger seat and no sign of life. Or the moment someone discovers their car won't start at a point where their survival depends on it. It's a time when people simply vanish without a trace. And right before they disappear they realize that something is terribly wrong. Fear can bubble up like that, suddenly and with our warning. Everything is fine until it isn't. This is a photo taken at precisely that moment. The eerie mist of dusk and uncertainty settling down over south cemetery, soon to envelop the old graves and anyone foolish enough to remain. I was jolted from my reverie keenly aware that I had well overstayed my spiritual welcome. Adrenaline replaced my hypnotic calm as I hastily made my way out. Safe in the moment, I still get chills every time I see this photo.
In 1779, Empress Catherine II presented her favorite Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky with a large estate, which was called, in keeping with the fashion of the time, “Lanskaya Manor”.
After the revolution, the Lansky estate was transformed into Gorky Bakery No. 7 (later called "Palyanitsa"). Production shops and other factory buildings appeared on the territory of the former estate. By the end of the 20th century, almost nothing remained of the building of the beautiful noble estate. The historical building burned down and was demolished in the 1990s.
In 2007-2008, the building of the "Lansky Dacha" was reconstructed. A mansion appeared in the park on the shore of the pond, precisely recreated based on historical materials.

A few months ago, I had a lull in the creativity department. Sometimes, just getting out to shoot something---anything, will reignite the flame. I decided to try something new. I went for a drive, stopping every mile (precisely) and photographing whatever was before me. This was mile 1. I drove 8 miles and got 7 pictures. (I was prevented from the 8th mile picture due to lack of stopping places on the road, lol.)

We arrived at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh precisely at the time they were setting up gear and additional seats for an advent concert which unfortunately we had no time to witness. Loved the interior of this Cathedral and especially the sculpture of John Knox, the Scottish Reformator, which stands modestly in one corner on the right hand side.
Bagley Lakes, Table Mountain, and its eponymous glacier at precisely this time last year. This area gets some of the most snow of any place on earth, with the ski area just downhill from this spot holding the world record for one season – 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), recorded during the 1998–99 season – as well as the unofficially highest average annual snowfall of any resort in the world, with 641 inches (53.4 ft; 16.3 m). The seven-mile hike I took on this day (with my canine sidekick Bailey) never went much above 5,300 feet of elevation, but it was still pretty grueling, and involved some significant stretches of snow on the trail, even at the end of August.
Handheld long exposure. More precisely, multiple regular exposures blended to give the effect of long exposure. I’ve found this still requires a fairly steady hand though or you can end up with blurred or heavily cropped pictures.
The warmth of the sun still lingers on her skin as she walks barefoot along the path.
One last glance back at the water, a quiet smile – it is precisely these moments that linger.
She’s returning from sunbathing, her thoughts light, her head clear. In one hand her sandals, in the other her bag – and on her back, her new radio bag from Royal Bags.
Unobtrusive, yet somehow exactly the detail that completes the moment.
Music plays softly, barely audible to others, but just right for her.
A personal soundtrack for this little stroll between sunshine and everyday life.
It’s not a grand statement – more that quiet feeling of ‘everything’s just right right now’.
And perhaps that’s exactly what makes this rucksack so special:
It accompanies her without imposing itself… and turns a simple walk home into a little summer moment.
Many thanks to Remy for this lovely gift :)
The bag is available for men and women in six different colours.

This shot was a total stoke of luck - I promise it's not a set-up. I never for one moment expected the paint mark on the wall to align precisely with the mouth of a bag seemingly being held open by a passer-by. But that's what I got in frame 4 of a 6-frame burst sequence.
I can't think what the significance of the letter 'N' might be, though.
Why are there organized beings? Why is there something rather than nothing? Here again, I fully understand a scientist who refuses to ask it. He is welcome to tell me that the question does not make sense. Scientifically speaking, it does not. Metaphysically speaking, however, it does. Science can account for many things in the world; it may some day account for all that which the world of phenomena actually is. But why anything at all is, or exists, science knows not, precisely because it cannot even ask the question.
-Etienne Gilson
The rain fell gently from the sky, as if it were falling just for her.
Under the pink umbrella, the world seemed a little brighter, and every drop sounded like a quiet promise.
She danced lightly through the puddles, her heart full of warmth, as if the rain itself were in love.
Because sometimes it is precisely these moments – wet, sparkling and full of emotion – when happiness quietly says ‘hello’.
The River Nith is a river in south-west Scotland. The Nith rises in the Carsphairn hills of East Ayrshire, more precisely between Prickeny Hill and Enoch Hill, 4.4 miles (7.1 km) east of Dalmellington. For the majority of its course it flows in a southerly direction through Dumfries and Galloway and then into the Solway Firth at Airds point. Quoted from Wikipedia

Sculptures in the Friedrich-Engels-Platz residential complex in Brigittenau, the 20th district of Vienna, more precisely at Kapaunplatz. These municipality buildings, erected in the early 1930s, were supplemented by further apartment blocks in the 1950s. I moved into one of them, and my new address is at the back right. I now live in a senior citizens' shared apartment, which is a great thing!
