A bird that requires no introduction. The Bald Eagle. This adult was one of just three or so perched along the northern Delaware Water Gap on a cloudy morning. A typical winter sees larger numbers of eagles in this region, but the high temperatures have taken their toll. The ice seemed to be gone as soon as it formed, resulting in more open waterways for eagles to disperse to. This is great for the eagles, but bad for photographers. Still, the few eagles that were present appeared to be resident birds, meaning they were a tad more acclimated to onlookers. I photographed this individual from the car as to not startling him/her. I had only a few minutes with this bird before a fast passing truck spooked it across the river. Are any of these images going win an award? No, but it was nice to see one close to ground level with a green background for a change. I usually see these birds flying high overhead or perched so high in a tree that there's no image to be had.

This is one of my favourite photos from my trip to Japan. Japan is amazing, it's so much different than Iceland while being similar at the same time. Two, volcanic islands with breathtaking landscapes. What I find most curious are the "marimo", round balls of algae that can only be found in two lakes in the world: Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland and in Lake Akan in Japan. If anyone speaks Japanese I'd love to know the literal meaning of the word "Marimo". The Icelandic word for this is "Kúluskítur" which translates to "Spherical shit".
This is taken in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. It was raining and I snuck out after dark to photograph this place. I'm not sure what this area is called but the address is: Japan, 〒160-0023 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Nishishinjuku, 1 Chome−12−5 ぶらんしぇビル (I'll just note it on the map to the right). This required minimal processing.

The ferry "Zanardelli" from 1903 moors at the original old jetty of Limone sul Garda.
This paddle boat was originally equipped with a steam engine which was replaced by a diesel engine during a restoration.
However, that does not alter the fact that maneuvering with such ships requires skill at the helm....

After a bath this male wood duck did not require a towel. Just give the head a good shake. Problem solved.

Engineer Harrop's train is paused at the east end of Lakeside, Utah for quartet of Southern Pacific GP9E locomotives to clear the main.
The AT-AT requires four heavy leg-ish constructions to hold it up, making it mobile. The paws has now been attached to the legs and final welding are underway. Raising the main body awaits.

Laying the mosaic pavement requires backbreaking labor. It's an arduous job performed in a prostrate position, making this traditional art of calçeteiros both rare and expensive. When wet, the surfaces of "calçadas" tend to be slippery and can contribute to slips and falls. Also, the moisture breaks down the design requiring frequent maintenance. For this reason, today’s government is considering a way of creating a safer pavement for the pedestrian while at the same time maintaining the unique beauty of this art form as an important part of the nation's identity and heritage.
This image features the Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis), captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green and purple feathers, the ibis stands out beautifully against the vibrant backdrop of the lush Colombian environment. The bird was perched delicately on a tree branch, where its sleek silhouette contrasted against the soft light filtering through the canopy. The calm, tranquil atmosphere of the scene was a perfect match for capturing the bird’s elegant form and reflective plumage.
In terms of technique, I used a Canon R5 with a 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender to maintain the required reach while preserving image clarity. The f/16 aperture ensured that both the bird and its environment were in focus, while the ISO 1600 helped balance the low light of the forest. The resulting sharpness and depth allow the vibrant plumage and the bird’s intricate textures to come through vividly. Capturing such a shot in the wild, with the ibis being perfectly positioned, required patience, but the payoff was worth it.

The Superstition Mountains is one of the photos every Arizona photographer has. Dramatic Mountain front makes for stunning views. This is a nine, six second vertical frame panorama.
I randomly picked some dolls that were wearing hats at the moment and asked my husband for this saturday night snapshot with my iPhone.

Have a great weekend! ❤️
But you only get a rainbow if the sun is out. But then you also get more harsh light if the sun is out. And the area is pretty enough even without the rainbow. This waterfall is literally right off the parking lot. No hike required, but if you do walk around a little, you will see other interesting things. Big Island, Hawaii, USA, December 2018

Inside the large ferries, galleys operate continuously to provide food for the thousands of passengers traveling south. This young cook is scaling fish in preparation for the evening meal. While the work environment is functional and cramped, his engagement with his task highlights the human element that makes these floating cities function. This portrait captures the daily reality of life on board and the essential labor required to sustain those on the journey.

A Green Anole peeks over the edge of a leaf, looking for insects to eat. I spent about two hours with these little lizards in my sister's back yard in Jacksonville, Florida when visiting last year (2019). Very happy with some of my captures :)
Green Anoles average about 4 inches in body size, with their tails extending another 4 inches. While the lizard above appears quite large, it is due to the perspective of my macro lens magnification, and the close proximity of the lens to the animal.
In order to get this close without spooking it and having it scurry away, it required a very patient stalking technique involving slow movement, quiet presence, and muscles in my arms and hands that often quivered uncontrollably due to holding my heavy gear for such extended handheld sessions! Actually surprising that ANY of my images were sharp, lol.

[FR] Feux d'artifices et voie lactée à Villard de Lans
Je me suis amusé ce soir du 14 juillet. J'avais envie d'une jolie photo de feux d'artifices, mais avec le fond du ciel étoilé ... ce qui n'est pas possible techniquement en une passe, les étoiles et qui plus est la voie lactée étant éclipsées par la luminosité importante des feux d'artifices et de toutes façon impossibles à prendre en même temps à cause des conditions nécessaires pour photographier ces dernier. Je suis donc resté 2h de plus, l'appareil braqué au même endroit, pour prendre en photo la voie lactée et le ciel étoilé, puis j'ai réassemblé les images par accumulation.
La photo est donc l'accumulation de 3 séries de photos :
- le premier plan formé de l'accumulation de 13 poses à 100 iso, f/11, d'expositions croissantes comprises entre 5 secondes et 5 minutes, et prises au début de la nuit
- les feux d'artifices : 2 poses de 20 et 45 secondes à 100 iso, f/11
- la voie lactée : 17 poses de 12 secondes à 800 iso, f/2, sans suivi sidéral.
Toutes les photos ont été prises avec un Canon 1200 D défiltré partiellement, un objectif Samyang 24 mm ouvrant à 1.4, l'ensemble sur trépied fixe.
Le traitement des séries séparées a été fait sous Siril puis l'addition des 3 photos (premier plan, feux d'artifices, voie lactée) sous Gimp.
Notez que la photo a été prise depuis le pré pour tous à Villard de Lans, le feu d'artifice étant tiré depuis la colline des bains, et l'arrière plan montre la Grande Moucherolle, la montagne qui domine notre petite ville.
[EN] Fireworks and the Milky way in Villard de Lans.
I had fun tonight, July 14th. I wanted to capture a beautiful photo of fireworks, but with the background of a starry sky... which isn't technically possible in one shot, as the stars, and especially the Milky Way, are overshadowed by the bright fireworks. Moreover, it's impossible to capture them simultaneously due to the conditions required for photographing fireworks. So, I stayed an extra two hours with the camera pointed at the same spot to photograph the Milky Way and the starry sky, and then I combined the images.
The photo is thus the accumulation of three series of photos:
- The foreground formed by stacking 13 shots at 100 ISO, f/11, with exposure times ranging from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, taken at the beginning of the night.
- The fireworks: 2 shots of 20 and 45 seconds at 100 ISO, f/11.
- The Milky Way: 17 shots of 12 seconds at 800 ISO, f/2, without star tracking.
All photos were taken with a partially modified Canon 1200D, a Samyang 24mm lens set at f/1.4, all on a fixed tripod. The processing of the separate series was done in Siril, and the combination of the three photos (foreground, fireworks, Milky Way) was done in GIMP.
Note that the photo was taken from the "Pré pour tous" in Villard de Lans, with the fireworks launched from the "Colline des Bains." The background features the Grande Moucherolle, the mountain that dominates our small town.

Thank you all for your views, comments and the mountain of 'favs', thank you very much!
The last of my Autumn images for another year I'd think. The recent wind has taken care of the remaining leaves at this stage.
My five year old niece in Australia looked at this image and decided it needed a Unicorn. She was so sincere, and so right :-)
(Edited as always with trusty but simple Picasa, this one is more heavily edited than I usually do.)
Pineapples were first grown in England in the 17th century. By the 18th century they had become a great symbol of wealth and prestige. They were even rented out for display at great events.
The Pinery at Arlington Court was built about 1814. The large pits were filled with rotting manure and this gave of the heat that was required to grow them.
They did have some success in growing them and they were entered in to shows. When pineapples became cheaper due to imports the art of growing them were lost.
Bringing Burj Khalifa to life required a combination of visionary ideals and solid science. In the process, the project amassed an awe-inspiring number of facts, figures, and statistics.
World Records
At over 828 metres (2,716.5 feet) and more than 160 stories, Burj Khalifa holds the following records:
Tallest building in the world
Tallest free-standing structure in the world
Highest number of stories in the world
Highest occupied floor in the world
Highest outdoor observation deck in the world
Elevator with the longest travel distance in the world
Tallest service elevator in the world
Tallest of the Supertall
Not only is Burj Khalifa the world’s tallest building, it has also broken two other impressive records: tallest structure, previously held by the KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, North Dakota, and tallest free-standing structure, previously held by Toronto’s CN Tower. The Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) has established 3 criteria to determine what makes a tall building tall. Burj Khalifa wins by far in all three categories.
Height to architectural top
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building. This includes spires, but does not include antennae, signage, flagpoles or other functional-technical equipment. This measurement is the most widely used and is used to define the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat rankings of the Tallest Buildings in the World.
Highest occupied floor
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest continually occupied floor within the building. Maintenance areas are not included.
Height to tip
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building, irrespective of material or function of the highest element. This includes antennae, flagpoles, signage and other functional-technical equipment.
This is why you don't give a redneck gun powder and a camera. I felt like the only thing missing was the theme music to Mission Impossible.
The three components that comprise a jaw coupling, sometimes also referred to by the brand name shown in the picture, used to attach a motor to a driven device, typically in industrial equipment.
The design of this coupling offers a means of shock and vibration absorption through the rubber spider used to join the two hubs. Selling each hub separately allows mixing and matching shaft sizes as circumstances require, within reasonable limits.
