This zebra dove (geopelia striata) was pretty well camouflaged by the dead vegetation amongst which it was perched. Photographed in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.
UP 1943 leads a passenger special east through Glen Ellyn, IL. The sun was just too nice to pass up a nice side profile of this beautiful unit.

It's rare that I get more than one good eagle shot at a time.. but here is one more post of a side view of that beak!
The Royal Guards of Gyeongbokgung Palace, located in Seoul’s Jongno District, are part of a ceremonial reenactment that brings to life the traditions of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). Historically known as "Sumunjang" (수문장), these guards were responsible for protecting the main palace gates, particularly Gwanghwamun, the palace’s most iconic entrance.
Today, the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony is a meticulously choreographed cultural performance held several times a day in front of Gwanghwamun Gate. The guards wear vibrant traditional uniforms, historical armor, and period hats, all crafted with impressive attention to detail. Each costume reflects specific ranks and roles, and includes authentic replicas of traditional weapons such as halberds and Korean swords (geom).
The ceremony blends traditional music, formal movements, and a solemn atmosphere, allowing visitors to experience a vivid glimpse of Korea’s past. Although the participants are not actual soldiers but trained performers and cultural staff, the commitment to historical accuracy is strict, offering an immersive portrayal of the palace's former security system.
Beyond its visual appeal, the ceremony stands as a symbolic reminder of Korea’s enduring cultural heritage and the central role Gyeongbokgung Palace once held as the seat of royal authority.

The reflection combined with the bridge itself forms the mathematical symbol 'Infinity' hence its name.

This is another photo of one of the Border Leicester sheep at our zoo. They are among my favourite animals there and I'm always pleased when they stop grazing for a moment and allow me to take a nice photo. :)
