I believe that this street artist in Brooklyn, New York has just about said it all about driving with good advice!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Dieses Foto habe ich im Sommer 2015 an der Nordsee gemacht. Ich glaube, dass die Schafe gerne UNTER der Bank liegen, weil es da schön windgeschützt ist. Der Zaun um die Bank auf dem vorherigen Foto soll das wohl verhindern :-)
Ich habe heute kaum Zeit mich auf einer Bank auszuruhen, denn ich bin mal wieder in einer Küche im Einsatz. Euch einen entspannten Samstag!
This picture was taken in summer 2015 at the North Sea. I think the sheep like to lie UNDER the bench, because it protect them well from the wind. The fence around the bench on the previous photo should probably prevent that :-)
I have hardly any time today to rest on a bench, because I am once again in a kitchen in use. Have a relaxed Saturday!
A JuraParc, on donne la viande encore congelée aux ours pour éviter que les corbeaux se servent en premier. Il y a même le plastic autour de ce gros morceau de viande que l'ours a soigneusement retiré avec ses puissantes griffes.
Il y avait 3 loups qui entouraient cet ours prêts à lui voler sa nourriture. Etonnant de voir ça ! C?est pourquoi il regarde autour de lui en mangeant.

At JuraParc, the meat is still frozen to the bears to prevent crows from being used first. There is even the plastic around this big piece of meat that the bear has carefully removed with its powerful claws.
There were 3 wolves surrounding this bear ready to steal his food. Astonishing to see that! That's why he looks around while eating.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is an orange day at Color My World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is Partly Obscured. I decided to go with a flying cow, just lifting off. This is a very rare sight since usually flying cows don’t want to show the exact manner they are lifting off while flying. It is to prevent air traffic since there isn’t such a thing as flying cows tower control… This is why you can see that our flying cow was partly obscured by an orange panel in order to hide the lift off technic from everyone and keep it a secret… I would love to talk more about flying cows but I have to work and I’m pretty much sure I have a meeting this morning. See you later my friends !
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival originates from the lantern lighting custom used during the Jinjuseong Fortress Battle of the Imjinwaeran War (Japanese invasion, 1592) as a military strategy to prevent Japanese troops from wading the Namgang River. The highlights of the festival are the floating of lanterns carrying personal wishes of the citizens along the Namgang River, and the parade of lanterns created by the students themselves. In addition, the festival features gaejesik (lighting of lanterns in remembrance of the Jinjuseong Fortress Battle veterans), an exhibition of the world’s traditional lanterns, and many more participatory cultural programs.
Birds like this willet stand on one leg because they are cold and keeping one leg tucked up underneath their body helps prevent the loss of body heat,
A bird's feathers help keep them warm in cold weather, but most birds do not have feathers on their legs and feet. By standing on only one leg, birds reduce their amount of exposed skin by about half.
Two distinct subspecies occur in North America: one that breeds in the East and another that breeds in the West.
Western Willets are larger but more slender, with a narrower bill than Eastern Willets. Their breeding plumage is less strongly barred than their eastern counterparts.
This photo was taken near Calgary, Alberta, Canada on a sunny morning.

Visillo en la ventana
Un visillo es una cortina de tela fina que permite el paso de la luz de forma velada y no impide totalmente la vista. Se confeccionan en tejidos transparentes, siendo los más habituales el hilo y el lino.
Los visillos se colocan a menudo combinados con cortinas utilizándose éstas cuando se requiere total intimidad o ausencia de luz y los visillos en el resto de situaciones.
Curtain in the window
A curtain is a curtain of thin fabric that allows light to pass through a veiled way and completely prevents the eye. Tissues are made transparent, the most common and flax yarn.
The blinds are placed, often combined with shades used these when total privacy is required or absence of light and the curtains at the other situations.
The Great wall of China stretches nearly 9,000km’s from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Lake in the west. This is the Jinshanling section, a 10.5km stretch with 5 passes, 67 towers and 2 beacon towers.
This is my 3rd of the 4 shots I took on my last morning at the wall. This shot is from the small Jinshan tower looking west towards Shalingkou. I saw the view from the top of the tower on my ascent earlier in the morning and, whilst it was certainly stunning, the tower wasn’t conducive to tripod style photography with the walls being around 5foot high with gaps so narrow as to prevent a clean shot with anything wider then about 24mm. I decided I would rig together a make shift tripod through a small window style vista in the wall using my camera bag, filter cases and tripod head balanced carefully on the window ledge. To my surprise it actually worked.

The Strawberry Moon.
Not my planned composition. The thick low clouds prevented that so I had to settle for this. My new 150-450 performed well when I could get it out of the wind. Challenging shooting last night.
Our yard in Holland, Mass
Much easier to hear than to see, these are my first images of this species of frog. Spring Peepers are very small frogs, measuring from just under an inch to an inch and a half. That's from less than 25mm to 38mm. Nonetheless, their chorus is readily heard every spring--right in our yard (We have a vernal pool--temporary "pond" that dries up every season, thereby preventing fish from living there and eating the small tadpoles).
This historic timber trestle bridge is the last of its kind still being used in California along Highway One. In the 1850's a logging operation was developed at the mouth of the Albion River on the Albion Flats. Early settlers crossed the Albion River with wagons and horses via steep narrow dirt tracks that went through the mill site and back up the equally steep opposite slope. Eventually it was decided to improve the difficult crossing and in 1944 the current magnificent timber trestle bridge was built. It was constructed from huge first growth Douglas fir beams. Wood was chosen rather than steel because steel was scarce due to the ongoing war effort.
Today the Albion Flats and beach are a picnic area and campground open to the public year round.
There is an ongoing effort to preserve this bridge from demolition, something the California Transportation Agency is intent on doing. The plan is for a cement bridge. Many locals are hoping this can be prevented given the historic and unique nature of the Albion River Bridge. It remains to be seen what happens.

Swallows on the ground, both males and females, typically raise and flutter their wings in an effort to prevent those unwelcome matings. At the same time, their gathering behaviour makes them more vulnerable.

When I was a child, I dreamed to travel in a boat as this one. If in real life, this dream is a little complicated, nothing prevents from immortalizing him in the metaverse. ;)
My friend Rachel has such a wonderful relationship with Bolingo. She has spent years developing this connection. The handstand happened while they were doing their normal training exercises. This regular training allows the keepers to elicit certain behaviors in order to provide routine medical checkups and other examinations without the need to sedate them. In a perfect world none of these animals would need to be in captivity, but unfortunately the way we are destroying the natural world it may be the only way to prevent these amazing animals from going extinct. Bolingo has already fathered two children, Oliver and Enzi. This sort of world wide breeding program helps to ensure the long term survival of these animals.
Europe, Portugal, Algarve, Sotavento, Olhão, Harbour, Covos (uncut)
Covos are lobster traps. The ones shown here, waiting for deployment, are made of rebar, plastic webbing and rope. They have tapered internal funnels that allow the lobster to enter but prevent them from leaving.
This is number 47 of the Olhao & Ilha Culatra album.
If you look closely you can see some fine wires running from the tips of the tail planes to the mid-rear fuselage on each side. These were an early form of 'friend or foe' detection; a radio signal from them helped differentiate defending RAF aircraft from others on the crude radar screens of the time.
This aircraft has a 'c' type wing, sometimes called the 'universal' wing which had provision for up to four 20mm cannon and four 0.303 Browning machine guns, although because of weight restrictions, not all could be carried at the same time without seriously degrading the aircraft performance. It is not uncommon to see two of the cannons capped off, as here. The red tape over the machine gun ports was to prevent debris from muddy airfields being blown back into the guns from the propeller while the engine was running on the ground. Wet mud could jam the guns. Of course, the first shots would go straight through the tape.
The outer machine guns were often considered to be not all that effective - the wings would vibrate when they were firing, so an ever widening cone of bullets would issue forth reducing the effectiveness on the target. The 'e' wing, which many later Spitfires sported, was a simplified 'c' wing, had the outer four machine guns bays deleted and could carry heavier machine guns and/or cannon in the four inner bays.
Sunset in the Badlands of South Dakota.
Heavy smoke from wildfires prevented me from getting many landscape shots on my seven state South Dakota road trip, but in this scene, the smoke created a colorful sunset.
I sat in the grass on this overlook for 45 minutes. About the time I shot this, I turned around and saw a mountain goat grazing about 50 feet behind me.
Stormy days are uncomfortable for taking photos. The umbrella takes hold of one hand and consumes a significant portion of attention. The mind is divided, preoccupied with protecting the camera from moisture. Yet, I adore its light. It can change numerous times in just 10 minutes. This photo would not have worked on a clear day. It was nearly noon. And yet, the light was enchantingly whimsical. It constantly shifted based on the thickness and distribution of the clouds.
When I spotted a rise in front of the monastery, I knew instinctively that it was the spot to capture the photo. When I observed the color and texture of the stones present, I thought that if a good photo didn't emerge, it would be my own fault. There was an intriguing foreground, a prominent subject, and the exceptional backdrop of the lake.
It was an ideal scene for employing a panoramic approach. I approached the foreground closely, selected a 24mm lens, calculated the hyperfocal distance, exposed to prevent the sky from being overexposed, and took 6 vertical shots. I processed most of it in Camera Raw.
Our Safari truck had a flat tire, so our guide took us out on foot in South Africa for a bit. We came upon this Rhino with the bird on his back and I got some pretty good photos with my telephoto lens. Horns were removed from most of the Rhinos and this one likely had his removed not long after this photo to prevent the poachers from killing the Rhinos.

The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.
To prevent this Cathedral from collapsing onto people passing by in the frequent Christchurch earthquakes, a row of containers on top of each was propped against the building. As you can see the quakes caused this column to rub against the containers leaving these marks.
Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Comet
Crater Lake National Park, OR
Comet viewing was much better at Crater Lake with wide open views though there were some thin clouds. Choppy waters from the wind prevented capturing a reflection of the comet, but the nearly full moon lit up the crater walls to my advantage.

This is a trial to see how many people could see this shot as there is a bug on Flickr since long time , that prevents from seeing some shots from contacts and from some Flickers ,the moment they upload them ,but they may show up after some hours or days.
The pink on the horizon had been really vivid as I was driving down to Islandhill this morning, but started to fade quickly as I got to the car park. This will be the last photo taken for a while from here as the council have closed the site to prevent the spread of Coronavirus :(

España - Orense - Allariz - Hórreo
***
ENGLISH:
An hórreo is a typical granary from the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (mainly Galicia, where it might be called a Galician granary, Asturias and Northern Portugal), built in wood or stone, raised from the ground (to keep rodents out) by pillars (pegollos in Asturian, esteos in Galician, espigueiros Portuguese, abearriak in Basque) ending in flat staddle stones (vira-ratos in Galician, mueles or tornarratos in Asturian, or zubiluzea in Basque) to prevent access by rodents. Ventilation is allowed by the slits in its walls.
Hórreos are mainly found in the Northwest of Spain (Galicia and Asturias) and Northern Portugal. There are two main types of hórreo, rectangular-shaped, the more extended, usually found in Galicia and coastal areas of Asturias; and square-shaped hórreos from Asturias, León, western Cantabria and eastern Galicia.
The oldest document containing an image of an hórreo is the Cantigas de Santa Maria by Alfonso X "El Sabio" (song CLXXXVII) from the 13th century. In this depiction, three rectangular hórreos of gothic style are illustrated.
There are several types of Asturian hórreo, according to the characteristics of the roof (thatched, tiled, slate, pitched or double pitched), the materials used for the pillars or the decoration. The oldest still standing date from the 15th century, and even nowadays they are built ex novo. There are an estimated 18,000 hórreos and paneras in Asturias, some are poorly preserved but there is a growing awareness from owners and authorities to maintain them in good shape.
The longest hórreo in Galicia is located in Carnota, A Coruña, and is 35 m long.
***
ESPAÑOL:
Un hórreo es una construcción destinada a guardar y conservar los alimentos alejados de la humedad y de los animales para mantenerlos en un estado óptimo para su consumo. Se caracteriza por mantenerse levantado sobre pilares y por permitir la ventilación a través de ranuras en las paredes perimétricas.
En 1918 el antropólogo polaco Eugeniusz Frankowsky registra el uso de graneros aéreos en la península ibérica, región de los Alpes, península Escandinava, área de los Balcanes, África subsahariana, Persia, Sureste Asiático, Japón, península de Kamchatka y áreas del estrecho de Bering, empleados para la conservación del cereal. La especificidad del hórreo como tipología reside en su unión con el cultivo del maíz y a su maduración y secado en zonas de clima atlántico.
El uso del hórreo se extiende por buena parte del norte de la península ibérica. Actualmente son especialmente abundantes en Galicia y parte de Asturias, aunque también se cuenta con ejemplos en las provincias de León y Zamora, en Cantabria y en algunas zonas del País Vasco y norte de Portugal. En estas zonas el uso del hórreo se explica por la pronta llegada de un invierno largo, frío y húmedo que antaño obligaba a realizar cosechas tempranas.
En Asturias se distinguen dos tipos. El más extendido de ellos es un edificio de planta cuadrada que consta de una cámara de madera, muchas veces con corredor, que se sostiene sobre cuatro pies, o pegollos. En Asturias el uso del hórreo fue exclusivo de las clases más acomodadas, pero proliferó a partir de la época renacentista, debido al aumento de la producción de la tierra. El otro tipo es la panera. Los primeros documentos sobre ellas son de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, siendo su desarrollo en el siglo XVII, favorecido por la difusión del maíz. La panera es una evolución del hórreo, cuya planta aumenta de tamaño y longitudinalmente hasta hacerse sensiblemente rectangular. Esta modificación implica cambios estructurales. Los más llamativos son que los pegollos aumentan de cuatro a seis, o más, y la cubierta se remata con una viga cumbrera, manteniéndose a cuatro aguas. Es ya en el siglo XVIII cuando se incorporan los corredores exteriores.

A second upload from last Saturday's long exposure shoot with the Lee Big Stopper. The rain prevented many angles but this worked out ok, shooting with my back to the rain and close to the BBC Sports building for protection at MediaCity UK on the other side.
I think I'm becoming more like L.S. Lowry himself with my desaturated images at the moment - I'm just missing his Prussian Blue.
The main photo from our Christmas card this year.
I'm very proud of how this turned out, as I put a lot of work into the lighting.
Strobist info: Lighting of this shot was just about the most DIY I have ever done. I don't yet have an umbrella or soft box stand, so I really had to improvise. I setup a ladder to the left of this scene. I put a flash gelled with full CTO on the second rung of the ladder. Because I wanted somewhat softer light, I used a dowel to hang a 5-in-1 reflector as a make shift soft box. To prevent light leak, I moved a chair to the side of the ladder. the caused the somewhat dramatic lighting, but I needed some fill light. All I did here was close our bright white window blinds to cause some reflection of the flash light. I then used a long shutter time to ensure the tree and background were nicely exposed.

We the people can and should act now to help prevent the inevitable destruction caused by us. We cannot afford to keep on ignoring it. We have already created a crisis that we could have prevented and we only have ourselves to blame.
The loss of life, cities, homes, food, animal life is beyond imagination and this year, in particular, has created even more havoc. It is time to sit down and study the facts and the possibility of being responsible and good guardians and try and learn fully how to look after not abuse our globe.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Five layers of clothing on a mountain, ain't enough at times to prevent the odd shiver, but then the glow of the Milky Way & meteors shooting through the Tre Cime spires is a warm feeling indeed. The hike is long, tiring & the climb up the vantage point is dodgy, to say the least, but the view from here is absolutely breathtaking. It gets extremely dark by the time you are done shooting around 1 a.m. with the far behind city lights glow gone. The slide down the mountain in pitch dark night is extremely treacherous & you need to retrace your steps a couple of times from the ledge. The hike back to the Rifugio was another 90 minutes, which were spent on reliving the awesome visuals & contemplating another visit here in the future.

"McDougall Church at Morley, Alberta, was built in 1875 by Reverend George McDougall. It had long been the desire of George McDougall to open a mission among the Stoney-Nakoda and Blackfoot people of southern Alberta. Numerous factors had, up to that time, prevented a missionary effort, but by the early 1870s, McDougall felt the time was right. The Morley mission would not only serve the Aboriginal people, but also afford an opportunity to establish a more permanent relationship with the Blackfoot Nation.
Established during a period of discontent among the Aboriginal population, the Morley mission was received with mixed feelings. Many welcomed the arrival of the missionaries, Others among the tribe, however, were less receptive and kept their distance. Today, this historical mission church is a popular stop for photographers." - www.mcdougallstoneymission.com/about.php
The air is clear right now. But we mourn for those who lost friends, family, homes. We experienced this in 1991 and can empathize - and also hope that people take seriously the menace of climate change while we can still do something to prevent it from getting worse.
Great Britain, London, Thames Barrier, a movable flood barrier in the River Thames east of Central London, been operational since 1984. The barrier prevents the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides & storm floods moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to restore the river's flow towards the sea.
The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich & protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.

The normal behaviour for emerald wasps (aka cuckoo wasps) is to never be still. They dart around all the time which makes them difficult to shoot - something which is unfortunate with their amazingly coloured armour.
This one which I found at the bee hotel in the garden was a little different. She was watching a solitary wasp crawl into one of the holes and prepare it for her egg/larvae.
Emerald wasps are kleptoparasites and this one was staying still outside the hole, planning to dart in there and place her own egg and take advantage of the other wasp's hard work.
She stayed still for sevaral minutes - but I can't say she was diffucult to spot with such a rainbow of colours.
There was a wire mesh in front of the logs to prevent birds from making a smörgåsbord out of it, but I managed to shoot through the holes of it and just reach the wasp with the focus at the maximum available distance (this lens can't focus further away than 101 mm / 4").
There are several very similar-looking species in the Chrysis ignita complex, but the best guess my expert has come up with was Chrysis schencki with a big maybe in front of it.
