This evenings view in Hatchers Pass on the Little Susitna River. The cabins are remnants from a past lodge near this spot.
J'étais venu à la rencontre des chevaux Henson ... Ce poulain de poney Shetland m'a tapé dans l'oeil... Il a six jours, sa démarche est aléatoire...
I came for Hanson horses... I met this baby...
After I do not know how many days now I can sit here at the computer. Surely I missed many of your works, I'm sorry ...
I wanted to thank all my flickr friends for their greetings, wishes, comments and invitations to my previous images. Slowly I will return to my rhythm here until the end of the holidays ...
A year is ending and a new year approaches.
I wish everyone a peaceful holiday season and a New Year full of creativity and satisfaction, health, love, work etc ....
in short, as you say, "All the Best" !! :)

Le Combattant varié présente un dimorphisme sexuel extrême et les ornements du mâle diffèrent d’un individu à l’autre au niveau de la couleur et des dessins.
En plumage nuptial, le mâle a le bas du dos et la queue barrés de noir. Le manteau et les scapulaires varient du noir au brun, en passant par chamois, châtain, ocre et blanc. Les parties inférieures sont plutôt sombres, excepté le bas de l’abdomen, le dessous des ailes et les sous-caudales qui sont blancs.
Sur la tête, les oreillons et la collerette varient beaucoup en couleur, allant du chamois ou châtain au violet noirâtre, noir ou blanc, souvent avec des dessins barrés ou mouchetés.
Le bec est brun ou orange terne. Les yeux sont brun foncé. Les pattes et les doigts sont jaune verdâtre ou orange foncé. Les petites caroncules verruqueuses de la face varient et peuvent être verdâtres, jaunâtres, orangées, rougeâtre ou brunes.
Au moment des parades, les mâles observent une hiérarchie dictée par les couleurs des plumes ornementales. Les mâles « résidents » ou « indépendants » ont le plumage plus foncé, en particulier les oreillons et la collerette, tandis que les mâles « satellites » sont légèrement plus petits et ont généralement la collerette et les oreillons clairs ou blancs.
Ces plumes ornementales sont visibles pendant une durée relativement courte, en général d’avril à juin. En dehors de cette période, le mâle ressemble à la femelle au niveau de la silhouette et de la couleur du plumage, mais il est nettement plus grand.
Le Combattant est une espèce dont la reproduction est atypique chez les limicoles, ne donnant pas lieu à la formation
de couples. Les mâles se rassemblent sur des places de parade (appelées leks) où ils se livrent à des simulacres de
combats afin d’attirer les femelles. Certains mâles présents sur ces arènes pourront se reproduire avec plusieurs
femelles, d’autres ne trouvant jamais de partenaire. Les femelles, quant à elles, pourront fréquenter plusieurs arènes
et s’accoupler avec plusieurs mâles.
Les femelles nichent solitairement jusqu’à plusieurs kilomètres des arènes. Les œufs sont déposés dans une cuvette
grattée dans le sol, garnie de quelques végétaux et bien dissimulée dans la végétation. La période de ponte s’étale de
début avril à fin juin . Les quatre œufs, brun-olive tachetés de noir, sont incubés par la femelle durant trois
semaines. Les poussins, nidifuges, peuvent être abandonnés par la femelle après seulement 10 à 15 jours. Ils sont
aptes au vol au bout de quatre semaines. La femelle n’élève pas plus d’une nichée par an. La maturité sexuelle est
atteinte parfois dès un an et plus généralement à deux ans chez les femelles, les mâles se reproduisant rarement avant
deux ans.
Le baguage des jeunes oiseaux a permis de montrer l’absence de philopatrie. Le « brassage » génétique qui en résulte
peut expliquer l’absence de sous-espèce et même de population biogéographique chez cette espèce dont l’aire de
reproduction est pourtant très vaste.
La longévité maximale observée grâce aux données de baguage est d’environ 13 ans

Puente Nuevo, Ronda, Málaga.
En 1735 se construyó el primer puente, derrumbándose seis años más tarde y matando a 50 personas. Al parecer la falta de apoyos, el mal cerramiento del arco y la mala ejecución de la obra hicieron que el puente colapsara.
No fue hasta 1751 cuando se decidió emprender la construcción de un nuevo puente. Para sufragarlo hubo que recoger 15.000 reales de la Real Maestranza e imponer un impuesto en la Feria de Mayo. En su realización intervinieron diversos maestros, aunque el más destacado fue José Martín de Aldehuela, quien finalizó la obra. Finalmente fue inaugurado en mayo de 1793.
De sillería de piedra, el puente presenta un arco central de medio punto apoyado en otro más pequeño por el que transcurre el río. En la parte superior, se encuentran las dependencias del puente que, en otros tiempos, fueron utilizadas como prisión, a cuyos lados se abren otros dos arcos, también de medio punto, que sostienen la estructura que soporta la calle. Más tarde funcionó como mesón y actualmente, es un centro de interpretación del entorno y la historia de la ciudad.

Birthday present
This is an image of wild flowers in brass thimble. This was definately the most difficult assignment so far. I looked like a micro-surgeon, operating on small bouquet: converging lens was above bouquet, in my left hand was a pincette, in my right hand was pair of scissors. Also, I had to work very quickly as wild flowers wilt within fifteen minutes. I've worked on this for two days in order to be ready for the big shoot; I've practiced the speed so I could do it quickly and in enough time. At the end I've managed to capture these small wild flowers in a thimble as I've imagined it.
I wish you a lot of years of succesful work and thank you all for helping me learn so much about macro photography.
HBMM!
As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!
An old house that has been beautifully restored, the abbey of which parts have been ruined and others survived time, some signs of modern times, all in harmony in Malmesbury!
The present church was built after the fire of 1844. It exhibits a neoclassical construction, decorated with one of the largest organ in South America, a large lamp of Sevillian origin, a French neo-Gothic pulpit, Carrara marbles and wood carving. It is also one of the 70 churches in the world authorized to display the banner of the Vatican.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

I had to go out and look for this present of a Snowy Owl for several hours in various farm lands north of Toronto. At the end it was a nice present. It was a gorgeous sunny day, so I decided to drive around in search for one. I found four; however, they were all sitting in the middle of farm lands far from the roads. I knew that I was in for a long wait. Then around 3:20 PM I found this juvenile sitting on a road-side hydro pole for 15 minutes and then taking off to sit on another field. I took my eyes off for a sec just when she took off; by the time I lifted my camera up she was already moving away from me. When I left, the other three were still sitting in the field. I guess, being young, this one couldn't sit still for too long. My first Snowy sighting of the season. They are such a gorgeous bird. Recent research shows that their number has declined by 60% between 1970 and now. What a shame it will be if this bird goes out the Dodo way. Sunnidale, Ontario.
This is the historical building where I took only the detail with the door. The "Cantonese Districts Association“ is a A heritage in George Town. The mural at the building next to it, belongs to the
"Chulia Meisen Hotel“ At the side wall we see one mural of Penang Street Art Gallery called “The Tree Lady“.

Presenting an impressive image for CN passenger services as well as "F-unit Friday", FP-9A #6511 leads a pretty much perfect looking "Super Continental" train (IMHO) with A-B-B-B power. The westbound is making it's station stop on what looks to be a fine winter day in the middle of nowhere northern Ontario. The Longlac station is behind the train, and I sure wish I'd been standing right there to observe this. But I wasn't and Mr. Ken McCucheon steps up to the plate again with another killer view. I'm just trying to remember what in the world I could have traded to him for this one.......

A wonderful weekend to you all :) !!
The Wild flowers of today take over the remains of the past and as the sun shines through the empty windows, the stories of the past remain in the shadows.
