Carpet python slowly swallows a water dragon lizard. You can see the lizard’s legs and tail at the left of the photo.
I've managed a to put in a fair few hours of night time hiking and photographing of wildlife this week. Today I was rewarded with this beautiful Water python. A wide ranging species in northern Australia, usually active at night, though I suspect with temperatures dropping we may see some more diurnal activity in the not too distant future as the winter sets in.
This is the first snake of this size that I have used my current flash setup with (previous have been smaller), so there are some kinks to iron out but, a nice Friday night highlight!

The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length
or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas
of South and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic,
but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 m long,
but have been known to reach 5.74 m .
Burmese pythons are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers. When young, they are equally at home on the ground and in trees, but as they gain girth, they tend to restrict most of their movements to the ground. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour. Burmese pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush.
Like all snakes, the Burmese python is carnivorous. Its diet consists
primarily of appropriately sized birds and mammals. The snake uses its
sharp rearward-pointing teeth to seize its prey, then wraps its body
around the prey, at the same time contracting its muscles, killing
the prey by constriction. It is often found near human habitation due
to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin as a food source.
Burmese pythons are often sold as pets Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.

This Scrub Python was found sunning its very full stomach on a log. This Scrub Python is 3 to 4 metres long and the lump in its belly is either a Rock Wallaby or a Tree Kangaroo.
To swallow a lump this size, the Scrub Python has to dislocate its jaw and stretch its mouth and throat a huge amount. A slow process for sure.

The Python is undergoing a full renovation between January and March 2018. After about 36 years it was time to renovate this famous roller coaster. Perhaps one of the first roller coasters in Europe that was considered cultural heritage. The last ride was made on the 5th of January and the demolition started on Monday 8th January. After one week more than half of the tracks were dismantled.
The new Python (lets call it Python verson 2.0) is sheduled to re-open the last week of March or early April. The entrance and waiting lines will be changed as well.
Python
Python is a double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. When it started operation, it was the largest steel roller coaster on the European mainland.
With Python, Efteling started the implementation of a new strategy: development from a fairy-tale forest into an all-round amusement park. This change led to many problems with the local community. Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers. Because of the likely noise pollution, the highest court of public justice ordered the construction to be stopped. After some time, construction could recommence, but legal problems continued for several more years.
In 2005 the trains were replaced by Kumbak Coasters designed by Karel Willemen and in December 2011 with Vekoma MK1212 trains. In mid January 2012, the python was fitted with new carriages. These new cars have a new set of restraints which accommodate the needs of riders large and small. There is a flexible over the shoulder strap which is not unlike those on accelerator coasters such as Kingda ka but slightly thicker. Over these are metal bars for riders to hold on to and to give support to the under straps. Also, the cars have been fitted with wheels that allow a smoother ride.

Using processing/python, this is an animation of Chladni Patterns (this is the pattern you get if you take a metal plate, bolt it on to a speaker, pour sand on it, and mess with the frequency). See this video on Youtube for a real life example (some quite high frequencies here so don't play near the family dog!)
In this case I varied the various parameters using a sine wave based on frameCount, rather than changing the frequency.
This Python was a bit like the Olive Python I found in Karijini: slow moving and not really interested in my shooting…

Simple yet ingenious, the Python Striker is a state-of-the-art tool for maximizing the benefits of shadow boxing and grappling drills. With no external body attachments, the Python Striker allows you to “train while you play”. The Python Striker provides resistance to the hands and feet, which allows fighters to engage in any type of activity-from shadow boxing to takedowns and other grappling drills, or throwing medicine balls. The Python Striker builds strength and quickness in the hips, arms, and legs. stroo.ps/striker

The new Python with the old but repainted lift hill. The waiting area has changed. A single riders lane has been added (left) and if the system of 'boarding passes' might fail they have room to make a meandering system. But during the opening day, there was only one train and people should make a reservation by getting a boarding pass on the machines of app.
Operation Python
At the beginning of 2018 a large part of the attraction will be demolished and then re-built. That is the first time that the Efteling does that at a major attraction.
Only the lift, the station and the foundation are retained. The remainder of the runway is cut into pieces of five meters with a cutting torch, then a crane is loaded onto a truck and then disposed of together with the disassembled uprights as old iron. A steel company in Belgium makes the new job and stands for the Python. The new Python will look as good as possible on the old track, only the supports on which the rails will rest will be round instead of square.
The rebuilding of the attraction will take the most time. The bolted connections are assembled with a team of about 30 people. The installation of the loops will take place in four large parts of every eleven meters. This is followed by a twelve-day test program, whereby deliberate errors are made to test the emergency stop systems. Project leader of this "Operation Python" is Frank Poels.

Have I mentioned that I’m a bit slower than other kids of my age?!
By the time I pressed the release button the Python was somewhere between the 7th and the 8th element of my lens…
One of the high-level programming languages, Python is considered to be the most dynamic language that focuses on code readability. The best part of learning this language is that there are fewer steps in execution as compared to Java or C++.
