Goldentail morays (Gymnothorax miliaris) are usually brown with tiny yellow spots, see here). Every once is a while you find one that is yellow with some brown to form a honeycomb. (Or more precisely, instead of small yellow spots, there are large yellow spots.)
This was a small one, maybe 15cm long in total. The trick is to get it to be out of its hiding hole enough to get the strobes to light the moray without hitting the background coral.

The gust front has generated a robust storm cell over Kvarner gulf, but now the weather is improving with drier and cooler air from the North.
It is precisely towards the North (from Kršine brdo, 40m) that the view in this sky-landscape panoramic shot is; that is towards the base of the cape and the Istrian peninsula to which it belongs as the extreme southern strip of land that extends into the northern Adriatic Sea.
Great Egret hunting in the meadow
Every summer this Great Egret comes to our house and hunts the open land around us. He knows precisely where to find his summer fare of lizards, snakes and voles. His movements bring to mind nature's form of Tai Chi as he slowly and precisely moves through the landscape always coming away quite satisfied...
Another image from my wonderful journey to California this summer of 2019 with my west coast damsel who took me to the city by the bay, or more precisely across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County, on the grounds of what once was a military installation defending San Francisco and Northern California but today is largest urban national park in the United States, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). While at the San Francisco Bay Area and as we traveled up the Pacific Coast Highway, I was constantly hampered or tasked by the eerie fog or marine layer which is the result of prevailing northwest winds actually change because of the in the summer the inland temperatures are quite hot, 90’ + so the bay is often subject to low clouds and fog. I was forewarned by my sweet companion but it’s one of those things that you got to see to believe. So the day we ventured into Sausalito into the Marin Highlands was such a day and in addition, the hand carved passage tunnel to the Point Bonita Lighthouse was closed which a very kind and helpful NPS Ranger informed us and told us of vantage point that the Point Bonita Lighthouse could be view. We hiked up there, the constraining marine layer notwithstanding, I was able to capture this image of the Point Bonita Lighthouse through substantial fog from that vantage point, thank you NPS Park Ranger. I hope to convince my west coast damsel to venture here again on my next trip out west, so we may venture to the actual lighthouse.
…more precisely, it’s what passes for a hand rail on the upward climb to the viewing platform at the basilica de Santa Maria, Elche, Spain. I’m still trying to catch my breath…

Introduction
Praise and Worship Music "The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything" (Christian Musical Documentary)
Throughout the vast universe, all celestial bodies move precisely within their own orbits. Under the heavens, mountains, rivers, and lakes all have their boundaries, and all creatures live and reproduce throughout the four seasons in accordance with the laws of life…. This is all so exquisitely designed—is there a Mighty One ruling and arranging all this? Since coming into this world crying we have begun playing different roles in life. We move from birth to old age to illness to death, we go between joy and sorrow…. Where does mankind really come from, and where will we really go? Who is ruling our fates? From ancient times to modern days, great nations have risen up, dynasties have come and gone, and countries and peoples have flourished and perished in the tides of history…. Just like the laws of nature, the laws of humanity's development contain infinite mysteries. Would you like to know the answers to them? The Christian musical documentary The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything will guide you to get to the root of this, to unveil all of these mysteries!
Eastern Lightning | The Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “Almighty God”—in China, and it isn’t established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

A rice swift butterfly on a garden plant. I was busy photographing a snail that had climbed up the leaves of a water hyacinth after sunset when I suddenly noticed this butterfly on the adjoining plant. It allowed me precisely two shots before flying away.
The Heel Stone at Stonehenge is a natural stone, which has not been worked by tools, and extends someway underground. It weighs around 35 tonnes. It marks precisely the direction of the midwinter sunset and midsummer sunrise in relation to the main group of stones. Unfortunately, I dn't quite get the sunset I hoped for at Winter Solstice 2023, but there was at least some colour in the clouds.
I live only a short drive from Stonehenge, dating to around 2,300 BC in its current form, is one of the world's most mysterious and iconic sites, but I don't often go there to take photos: it's expensive to get in and the crowds can make it difficult to get good shots.
One of my parishioners asked me to take her there so she could watch the winter solstice sunset. Around 6,000 people had been there to see the sunrise that morning, but at sunset there were maybe 100 or 150. The horizon was cloudy at sunset itself, but I did get some great shots of the stones about 20-30 minutes before sunset. It was a very windy afternoon.
St Albans Cathedral. We are now in the 14th century, and this clock would precisely indicate when and at what time we would have the next solar eclipse whilst pilgrims would arrive and marvel at the holy remains of Saint Albanus. Richard of Wallingford was a scholar and the Abbot of what was then St Albans Abbey. He designed this astronomical clock (here a replica made in 1988) which was finished around 1355 (and demolished when Henry VIII confiscated the abbey and made sure that the shrine of St Albanus was flattened).

So exciting, I've just got the test roll of a new old vintage M4. I can't wait until MP right in place. Sorry pal, maybe I'll get one in the future.
All the test frames are exposed accurately as expected. I am using a Gossen 1° spot meter for light metering.
No light leak, low-speed shutter responds precisely, evrything works outstaningly and the OVF is remarkablely crystal clear.
I am wondering if I should get an additional light meter in terms of mobility(Gossen Digiflash II) at the moment.
Remark: sorry about the low resolution scan from the out-tasking film development shop.
Or better: Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae.
The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means "Knight's-star-lily", although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain.
For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "Amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere.
By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean.
And although the 1987 decision settled the question of the scientific name of the genus, the common name "Amaryllis" continues to be used.
Bulbs sold as Amaryllis and described as ready to bloom for the holidays belong to the genus Hippeastrum.
I love the more theatrical dramatic light for some flowers: the 'divas', LOL.

Uitgerekend op de dag waarop de lucht afgelopen week onbeschrijflijk mooi was, had ik mijn camera niet bij mij. De dag erna ben ik daarom trouw met camera en statief in m’n tas naar mijn werk gefietst. En hoewel het kleurenspel rond zonsondergang geenszins teleurstelde, was de lucht bij lange na niet zo mooi als de dag ervoor. Zul je net zien…
Precisely on the day that the sky was indescribably beautiful last week, I didn't bring my camera. Therefore, I staunchly packed my camera and tripod before biking to work the day after. And while the colours during sunset were by no means disappointing, the sky wasn't nearly as beautiful as the day before. Naturally...
AI Overview
Bittern | The Bird ID Company
When a bittern takes flight, it reveals broad, rounded wings with a slow, steady wingbeat, and its legs trail behind. The bird has a stocky build, thick neck, and overall buff-brown, streaked plumage that provides excellent camouflage. It typically flies low over the marsh, its neck sometimes retracted, to quickly return to the cover of reeds
From a bird hide in the Netherlands, I had the chance to capture this kingfisher. At first, everything was in shadow, but a little later the kingfisher was precisely lit by the sun, while the background was still dark. Which produced this very cool image
The abbey of Piona, or more precisely of the Priory of Piona ( Italy ) . In this place you can breathe a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. It is still inhabited by Cistercian monks and makes forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the chaos of the city.
Thank you so much for your comments, favorites and views
The weathercock atop the church tonight was positioned precisely to reflect the red sunset sky to the west and above was the waxing moon. This picture was created from the three photos. Der Wetterhahn auf der Kirche stand heute Abend genau so, dass er den roten Sonnenuntergangshimmel im Westen reflektiert hat und oben stand der zunehmende Mond. Aus den drei Fotos ist dieses Bild entstanden.
Tower of Hercules
The Tower of Hercules is a tower and lighthouse located on a hill on the peninsula of the city of La Coruña, in Galicia (Spain). Its total height is 55 meters, and dates from the 1st century. It has the privilege of being the only Roman lighthouse and the oldest in operation in the world. It is the third lighthouse in Spain, behind the Chipiona Lighthouse (62 m. N. M.) And the Maspalomas Lighthouse (60 m. N. M.). On June 27, 2009 it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
There are several legends related to the construction of the Tower of Hercules. One of them tells that Hercules arrived by boat to the coasts that currently surround the Tower, and that it was precisely there that he buried the head of the giant Gerión, after defeating him in combat. This legend represents the continuity of the Roman legacy of Hercules over the tarthetic-Phoenician legacy of Geryon.
Likewise, historians identified the tower as the place where the Breogan Tower could have been located, a mythological tower that appears among others in the Irish mythological cycle (more specifically in the Leabhar Ghabhála Érenn, written around the 11th century), and from the that Ith, the son of Breogan, would have sighted the coasts of Ireland. This suspicion is heightened by the place name Brigantium, which is highly possible that it derives from Breogán, and it has sustenance in the tradition of the Romans when it comes to identifying their own gods or heroes, in this case Hercules, with the autochthonous ones.
Mythology says that «there was a giant named Geryon, king of Brigantium, who forced his subjects to give him half of their goods, including their children. One day the subjects decided to ask for help from Hercules, who challenged Gerión in a great fight. Hercules defeated Geryon, buried him, and raised a burial mound that he crowned with a great torch. Near this burial mound he founded a city. However, this story dates from the end of the 13th century from a general chronicle used in Mediterranean mythology to elaborate a history of the Brigantia lighthouse. The myth takes the Greek hero Hercules. The Castilian myth says that these people were brought from Galatia, in Anatolia, and that "that's why that land was called Galizia". This legend inspired by Mediterranean mythology will be promoted during the 19th and 20th centuries, [citation needed] when the Brigantium lighthouse is renamed "Tower of Hercules" changing Breogan for Hercules, as the first person to arrive was a woman called Cruña (or Crunia), Hercules gave the city this name », a version that appears in the Estoria of Spain.
Torre de Hércules
La Torre de Hércules es una torre y faro situado sobre una colina en la península de la ciudad de La Coruña, en Galicia (España). Su altura total es de 55 metros,y data del siglo I. Tiene el privilegio de ser el único faro romano y el más antiguo en funcionamiento del mundo. Es el tercer faro en altura de España, por detrás del Faro de Chipiona (62 m s. n. m.) y del Faro de Maspalomas (60 m s. n. m.). El 27 de junio de 2009 fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.
Hay varias leyendas relacionadas con la construcción de la torre de Hércules. Una de ellas cuenta que Hércules llegó en barca a las costas que rodean actualmente la Torre, y que fue precisamente allí el lugar donde enterró la cabeza del gigante Gerión, después de vencerle en combate. Esta leyenda representa la continuidad del legado romano de Hércules sobre el legado tartésico-fenicio de Gerión.
Asimismo, historiadores identificaron la torre como el lugar donde pudo haber estado situada la Torre de Breogán, una torre mitológica que aparece entre otros en el ciclo mitológico irlandés (más concretamente en el Leabhar Ghabhála Érenn, escrito alrededor del siglo XI), y desde la que Ith, hijo de Breogán, habría avistado las costas de Irlanda. Esta sospecha viene acrecentada por el topónimo Brigantium, que es altamente posible que derive de Breogán,y tiene sustento en la tradición de los romanos a la hora de identificar a sus propios dioses o héroes, en este caso Hércules, con los autóctonos.
La mitología dice que «hubo un gigante llamado Gerión, rey de Brigantium, que obligaba a sus súbditos a entregarle la mitad de sus bienes, incluyendo sus hijos. Un día los súbditos decidieron pedir ayuda a Hércules, que retó a Gerión en una gran pelea. Hércules derrotó a Gerión, lo enterró y levantó un túmulo que coronó con una gran antorcha. Cerca de este túmulo fundó una ciudad. No obstante esta historia data de finales del siglo XIII de una crónica general recurrida de la mitología mediterránea para elaborar una historia del faro de Brigantia. El mito coge al héroe griego Hércules, Dice el mito castellano que esa gente fue traída de Galatia, en Anatolia, y que "por eso fue llamada aquella tierra Galizia". Esta leyenda inspirada en la mitología mediterránea será promocionada durante el siglo XIX y XX,[cita requerida] cuando el faro de Brigantium es rebautizado con el nombre de "Torre de Hércules" cambiando a Breogan por Hércules, como la primera persona que llegó fue una mujer llamada Cruña (o Crunia), Hércules puso a la ciudad este nombre», versión que aparece en la Estoria de España.
These days, one can find graffiti (street art?) just about anywhere. Much of it does not make sense to me, but I have to admit some graffiti has its merits.
For example, railway cars and railway bridges (especially the rusting steel ones!) are just plain eyesores. A little bit of paint can give those things a whole new, and often better, appearance!
................................................................................................
De nos jours, on peut trouver des graffitis (street art ?) un peu partout. Une grande partie de cela n'a pas de sens pour moi, mais je dois admettre que certains graffitis ont leurs mérites.
Par exemple, les wagons de chemin de fer et les ponts ferroviaires (en particulier ceux en acier rouillé !) Ne sont que de simples horreurs. Un peu de peinture peut donner à ces choses une toute nouvelle apparence, et souvent meilleure !

One of only two " Torrent Ducks" in the world and if not more carefully looked after there shall only be one.
As a boy in the bush with my Dad they were very abundant and he could gauge the amount of rain over summer qualitatively not precisely by how far out of the river bed these birds chose to nest.
If I remember rightly it was pretty accurate.

DE: Auf der Leerfahrt vom Handelshafen zurück zum Rangierbahnhof, um dort den zweiten DHL Paketzug an den Haken zu nehmen, überquert 294 616 die denkmalgeschützte Mühlau-Hubbrücke. Der Wettergott hatte wohl ein Einsehen und so war genau im richtigen Moment die Sonne zur Stelle.
EN: On the empty run from the commercial port back to the marshalling yard to pick up the second DHL parcel train, 294 616 crosses the listed Mühlau lift bridge. The god of weather must have had a good eye and so the sun was at hand precisely in the right moment.
I watched in sordid fascination as the man levered his car back and forward, trying to park it in precisely the spot he’d chosen, each clumsy movement reminiscent of the death throes of some large beast. We were at Chippenham Services, on the way home from the rugby international at Twickenham. Once he’d finally manoeuvred his steed exactly as planned, neither he nor his wife could get out of the car without having to hold in the doors carefully for fear of smashing them into those of the two they’d squeezed in between. The row behind was completely empty. Thirty spaces or more, with not a single vehicle, and no discernable disadvantage in pulling up in one of them, other than having to walk an additional four yards to get to the queue for McDonalds. And this was a young couple, neither of them blighted by any apparent mobility issues. They’d lost far more time with all of that elaborate back and forth, and then having to escape from the car like contestants on The Krypton Factor. Why on earth didn’t he park in one of the spaces in that huge empty row? Why had nobody else parked in that gloriously unsullied swathe?
It’s one of my prime sources of first world irritation. I’m the one who parks as far away as I can from the supermarket door, just to give myself the best chance of returning to my car to find it standing alone with at least one space on either side. And if I really must park next to another car, it will be a brand new Mercedes or BMW - something like that, where the owner is going to be particularly precious about their paintwork. Never a Citroen Picasso, or anything that has a sticker saying “Baby on Board.” And If I do emerge with my purchases to find my car has formed some kind of union with a new neighbour in an otherwise empty row of spaces, Captain Grumpy takes over. I mean, why park next to the one other car when there are twenty unused spaces on either side? Even when I write about this imaginary (but sometimes real) scenario, I can feel my heckles rising. Is it that humans want to bond, or do they just mostly follow each other in a trance-like form of psychological programming? Is my compulsion to go out of my way to keep my distance from everyone else just another sign that I’m a loner at heart? Probably.
I was making this point most forcibly as we parked at Morrison’s in Tavistock, having of course selected as isolated a parking space as I could find. Dave and Lee, having heard this all before, had stuffed their ears with cheese so as not to have to endure it again. “Don’t start him off again,” Dave sighed, as Lee banged his head on the tarmac to see if it would stop him hearing my tirade. “And then there’s George Ezra!” I continued with a non-sequitur so obscure that it even surprised me. “What about George Ezra?” came the response. “Well his songs are all the same. He does a high bit, and then he does a low bit, and then he does it all again!” Quite why I’d chosen a random celebrity songsmith to rant about next, not even I could tell you, but even the mere notion of someone unnecessarily parking alongside sets me off into a world of fury. Imagine if George parked next me in a huge empty row, wound down his window and started singing at me? And there’s another one. Other people’s music choices being played at me. I can’t stand that either. Not even when it’s bands that I like. Maybe I need to relocate to a Pacific atoll and live on coconuts and bananas. One with good sunsets of course. Some of us just aren’t cut out for the wider world. Dave did concede that I had a point about George Ezra.
It was a good job that we were going somewhere quiet and remote this morning; a forest where we could spread out and roam alone. A place which wasn’t feted as a togs’ hotspot. But we’d passed it as evening drew in on the way back from our outing the previous afternoon and immediately added it to the itinerary. We made it our first port of call the following morning, and after picking up our lunch without any parking related commotion at Morrison’s we pulled up here, piled out of the car and disappeared into the dark mist filled spruce columns.
And talking of oddballs and loners, there were one or two interesting characters lurking under the canopy. I’ll bet nobody’s brave enough to park right alongside this one when he takes the Land Rover into Widecombe on the Moor to stock up on fresh supplies of moss and woodlice. With his unicorn horn, he’s not going to be taking any nonsense from anyone is he?
He wasn’t the only oddball we found in the woods, so I may bring you back here for another story. Next time I promise not to rant about anything at all. But just in case you happen to parking in a supermarket in West Cornwall, and you notice a metallic blue Skoda Yeti sitting over there in the far corner on its own, please don’t feel the need to pull up alongside it if you don’t mind. You never know what kind of spleen venting monster you might set off when the owner returns. Especially if your surname is Ezra and you like a bit of a sing song now and again.
The history of the renowned pencil manufacturer Koh-i-Noor goes back to the 18th century. Koh-i-Noor became known worldwide through the innovative invention of Joseph Hardtmuth, who in 1792 developed a new method for pressing and burning pencil leads. It is made entirely of metal and therefore heavy, but precisely because of this it lies perfectly balanced in the hand.

This is a view of the fortress (more precisely, of part of its wall) from the opposite, western side. The photograph was taken in the evening, and the backlight hit the lens. But I like it.
When I took pictures, I saw thick fog and figures - a good subject, but when I later looked at all the photos taken that morning, I decided that this was the best. Precisely because it shows a boy walking with his father. I imagined how the father said to his son: “Get dressed, let’s go for a walk - I’ll show you the city in the fog.”
"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.

On our hike up from Adeje to the Boca del Paso, Olymp suddenly spotted this particularly beautiful fly on a rock face. Just look at its forehead!
I was not entirely sure what it is more precisely but Thijs de Graaf (see below) helped me on the way. Dave - also below - helped me as well. It does look like Gonia ornata but there's a discussion among fly experts that it might be Gonia bimaculata given the season.
"The beautiful can exist at the edge precisely because it has nothing to lose and everything to give away." -Frederick Turner
being knowledgeable is essential, because, to me, nothing appears quite so difficult as to pose a model well and light him correctly, for the very reason that it seems so simple to do.
In the interest of photography and photographers I cannot urge amateurs enough to understand that photography is not a trade but an art and that, as a consequence, their feeling and their knowledge must be reflected in their works just as the feeling of a painter is reflected in his paintings :-)

There are spaces that aren’t just designed… they’re felt. Places where every object seems to have found its natural place, where light caresses surfaces, and where everyday life becomes an aesthetic experience. This interior is precisely that: a warm refuge where classic elegance blends with the tranquility of home.
The scene opens with an imposing, patinated wooden door that seems to hold ancient stories. Its weathered texture adds character and depth, becoming the starting point for an atmosphere that celebrates craftsmanship and authenticity. Around it, dark bookcases filled with small objects, books, and mementos create an intimate and personal visual narrative.
In the center of the space, life unfolds on a collection of soft rugs and generous cushions. There, several cats rest peacefully, adding that vibrant touch that transforms any interior into a true home. Their presence is not accidental: they represent calm, a slower pace, and the pleasure of inhabiting spaces without haste.
Lighting plays a fundamental role in the atmosphere. Contemporary pendant lamps delicately contrast with the classic architecture of the ceiling and the ornamental moldings, creating a dialogue between modern and traditional. Natural light entering from the side casts soft shadows on the wooden floor, revealing textures and depths that make the space feel even more real and inviting.
In the background, an elegant bar in deep gray tones adds sophistication and functionality. Upholstered stools with delicate details invite long conversations, while the circular mirror with an organic frame reflects the light and enhances the feeling of spaciousness.
This space demonstrates that true decoration is not about filling rooms, but about creating atmospheres. It’s about combining materials, light, objects, and everyday life to build a place where every corner invites you to linger a little longer.
An interior where design embraces calm… and where home is felt in every detail.

KOO JEONG A directs our gaze to the incidental, to the marginal zones of experience that are first noticed after patient observation. Invisible phenomena can be experienced through sounds, smells, and minimal gestures. The invented and found, concrete and intangible slide into one another devoid of fixed boundaries. At the same time, KOO JEONG A’s work is characterized by extraordinary restraint. Just a few, precisely arranged elements are enough to generate a presence.

more precisely the dome of a private villa, even if it looks like a large dome of a church or a public building ...
isn't it fascinating how casually the figures gambol around on the lower ledge of the rotunda ...
Kuppel eines Privathauses ...
genauer gesagt die Kuppel einer privaten Villa, auch wenn sie wie eine große Kuppel einer Kirche oder eines öffentlichen Gebäudes aussieht ...
ist es nicht faszinierend, wie lässig die Figuren auf dem unteren Sims der Rotunde herumtollen ...
Palladio's Villa Rotonda ...

Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt :-)

Some spaces don’t need grand gestures to charm. A beautifully set table, warm light caressing the walls, and the imagined aroma of a meal prepared to be shared are all it takes. This scene captures precisely that moment: a simple, luminous, and inviting pause where gastronomy and design meet to create an unforgettable experience.
Surrounded by delicate lavender flowers that add freshness and color to the ambiance, the table becomes the heart of this outdoor haven. Sunlight casts natural shadows on the aged stone walls, creating a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to sit slowly and savor the moment.
The undisputed star is the variety of carefully presented food. Irresistible gourmet burgers take center stage on the table, generously accompanied by fresh lettuce leaves, juicy tomatoes, and golden buns that promise a perfect combination of textures and flavors. Alongside them, classic condiments are always on hand: ketchup and mustard await to personalize each bite according to each diner’s taste, adding that familiar touch that transforms a meal into a more intimate and authentic experience.
The feast continues with a selection of fresh and colorful side dishes. Perfectly sliced tomatoes, green vegetables, and a light salad add balance and freshness to the menu, while a tray of carefully prepared sandwiches offers options for all tastes. Every element seems to have been chosen with sharing, conversation, and enjoyment in mind.
To one side, a cooler filled with cold drinks completes the offering, reminding us of those spontaneous spring and summer get-togethers where time seems to stand still. Everything is set for an al fresco meal that celebrates the simplicity of good times.
Beyond the decor, this space conveys a sense of well-being. It’s a corner that speaks of family gatherings, laughter among friends, and afternoons that stretch longer than expected because no one wants to leave the table. The combination of nature, gastronomy, and design creates a scene that feels vibrant, functional, and deeply human.
Because ultimately, the best spaces aren’t just those that look beautiful, but those that invite us to linger a little longer, savor a delicious burger with our favorite toppings, and share the company of those who make every moment special.
