I lit the exterior and interior of this structure using a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device from several different angles while hanging out with the ProtoMachines creator, George Loo, as well as Tim Little and Steve McIntyre during a fun weekend of night photography.

A brilliant place to visit and a surprisingly large nature reserve in the middle of one of the worlds greatest and largest cities. You can see the urban backdrop and aeroplanes over the city but at times you will feel as if you are in the countryside. You will see many common wildlife as well as rare birds dropping in as well. It has quite an impressive list for a reserve in an urban area. A number of birds especially which are not found in urban areas are resident or passage migrants here.
City oasis
WWT London has been voted the UK’s Favourite Nature Reserve. Close to the heart of the capital, it is a haven for birds, wildlife and people.

London Wetland Centre is an idyllic spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the City for a walk or to indulge in an afternoon of bird watching from one of our six hides. The reserve is easily accessible with pathways and bridges among the pools, meadows and gardens.
But if you want to learn a bit more about the centre - how it was created and the work we do here - you can join one of our tours held daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm. There’s no need to book and the tour is free with admission to the centre.
Our guides will explain how London Wetland Centre was created from four redundant Thames Water reservoirs. They will also point out wildlife spotted on the day.
Over 200 species of bird have been recorded on site since we opened in 2000. Also making their home amongst the 300,000 plants and 27,000 trees we planted during the centre’s creation are water voles, dragonflies, frogs, snakes, slow worms, bats, newts and butterflies, to name just a few.
You can also join one of our wardens at 3.00pm each day as they feed the birds in World Wetlands. Just turn up and the walks are free with admission to the centre.
As well as our regular walks we frequently run specialist walks and talks on everything from plant identification and reptiles to bird watching and bird song. See our Whats On section for forthcoming events.
And every day you will find our ‘Guide in the hide’ who will be able to point out the birds you can see on our lakes and lagoons.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit?
The London Wetland Centre is a beautiful place to visit all year round with the landscape and wildlife changing constantly with the seasons.
Spring is perfect for wild flowers and songbirds. In the summer you can relax outside with a picnic and enjoy the sound of marsh frogs, crickets and warblers. Our sustainable gardens are beautiful at that time of year, bursting into a blaze of colour that lasts all summer.
Autumn is great for seeing rare birds passing through on migration and winter is the best time to observe the flocks of wild duck or catch sight of an elusive bittern, regular visitors over recent winters.
Why not combine your visit with one of our special events such as late night opening, some of our animal themed events or a twilight bat walk?
What should we wear?
The centre has tarmac/firm level paths throughout and so any comfortable shoes will suffice. It is worth bringing an umbrella or waterproof if rain is forecast as the reserve covers more than 40 hectares and it can take a few minutes to reach shelter.
When should we pay?
Please pay at the admissions desk on the day of your visit. The centre would very much appreciate if you could arrange one payment per group. This will speed up your admission into the centre. If you are paying individually please be prepared to wait.
Some of our group can’t walk far, is it still suitable?
Yes, there is plenty to see and do in our visitor centre and there are numerous benches scattered throughout the reserve. It is also possible to book a wheelchair or electric buggy to help you travel around the reserve.

Flores del almendro ( Prunus dulcus), que se convierte en preludio de la llegada de la Primavera, acompañada de algunas curiosidades con respecto a esta flor:
ALMENDRO
Árbol de hermosas flores, significado de la flor del almendro es "el despertar" o "estar despierto". Es más, la palabra almendra tiene su origen en el idioma hebreo y significa literalmente "el que despierta"… Sus flores blancas o débilmente rosadas aparecen ya en enero, mucho antes que las flores de otros árboles.
Fuente Wikipedia
Los poetas árabes se inspiran, con frecuencia, en la naturaleza y dado que en muchas de sus poesías predomina el sensualismo, suelen cantar todo aquello que perciben a través de los sentidos: los sonidos, los olores y las observaciones visuales; por ello los jardines y las plantas son, en muchos casos, motivo de inspiración para sus poemas; la naturaleza es para ellos un libro en el que leen hace millares de años, lo que les permite plasmar imágenes llenas de lirismo en las que comparten sus impresiones y evocan sus más íntimos sentimientos; Ebn Teinim cantó así a la flor del almendro (alláuz).
“Antes que las demás flores llegas tú para reinar sobre todas ellas. Y con verdad que eres de venturoso presagio, pues en tu cándida hermosura aparece la primera sonrisa del mundo y de la primavera.”
Fuente: viseco.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/el-lenguaje-de-las-flores...
Según fuentes Bíblicas el almendro aparece en los siguientes pasajes o acontecimientos:
Almendro, almendra
(heb. shâqêd, "quien despierta", "vigilante" [del verbo shâqad, "estar despierto", "velar"]; y lûz). Árbol de hermosas flores, miembro de la familia del duraznero. Sus flores blancas o débilmente rosadas aparecen ya en enero, mucho antes que las flores de otros árboles. Como anticipo de la primavera, se lo llegó a conocer como el árbol que "despierta". Alcanza una altura de 3 a 5 m, y se lo valora por su aceite delicado. Las hojas, que aparecen algo más tarde que las flores, son largas y lanceoladas, con bordes aserrados y extremo agudo. Su conocida semilla está encerrada en una cáscara dura, cubierta por una piel gruesa y aterciopelada. Aunque por su forma y sus flores el árbol se parece a los durazneros, la fruta no tiene la pulpa carnosa de los duraznos Posiblemente en los tiempos patriarcales no se conocía en Egipto, porque Jacob envió almendras como regalo (Gn. 43:11). Dios instruyó a Moisés que hiciera el candelero de 7 brazos con la forma de ramas de almendro con sus flores (Ex. 25:33, 34; 37:19, 20). La vara de Aarón brotó, floreció y produjo almendras maduras (Nm. 17: 2, 3, 8). Se cree que el "almendro" de Ec. 12:5 representa la cabeza canosa de un patriarca, porque las flores, vistas a la distancia, tienen el aspecto blanco de la nieve. El Señor usó este árbol como símbolo de su cuidado vigilante sobre su palabra en la primera visión de Jeremías (1:11, 12). En Gn. 30:37, la RVR traduce lûz por "avellano", pero esta traducción no tiene apoyo. Véase Luz. Bib.: PB 35-38. .

At this time of year I always like to post photos as a way of showing my respect to those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Taken at a local war memorial it was nice to see a father and daughter also sharing that respect.
At the entrance to Soon Tien Kong Chinese temple, South Point, Christmas Island.
This site is very close to a major phosphate mine. In the early days with little environmental control, production was of a scale sufficient to support transport of the extracted ore to Flying Fish Cove by train, where it was transferred to ships for export. The operation relied heavily on Chinese labourers, who built many temples around the island.
(Plinthocoelium suaveolens). Brazoria County, Texas.
It seems like I'm always posting something that "I've wanted to see since I was a kid". That's because, presumably like most of my lifelong naturalist friends, I spent much of my childhood pouring through field guides and natural history books, and dreaming of one day finding the beautiful and fascinating organisms contained within. In that respect, my bucket list grew very, very long.
Followers of my Flickr stream also have likely noticed that I love beetles. My passion for these armored insects began in earnest in 7th grade, when my first life sciences teacher, Mrs. Powell tasked us with putting together an insect collection. I already had a strong passion for nature and science thanks to my parents, but Mrs. Powell's assignment opened up the exciting world of insect hunting and collecting to me. I have continued to collect on and off throughout the years, though today I very rarely take specimens, preferring to record encounters with my camera.
After 7th grade, we moved from Chicago to Texas, and I was exposed to a whole new world of entomological wonders. I bought field guides on Texas insects, and immediately started marking the species I wanted to see. With the help of my parents, I targeted some of these. One year my mom took my brother, a friend, and I on a trip toward College Station to find my first Ironclad Beetle, which I did, along with my first Wheel Bug, IO Moth, and a Striped Bark Scorpion.
Over the years my passion for insects waxed and waned, as it competed with other budding interests like birds and plants. Yet I always kept a soft spot for beetles.
One species that I immediately noticed in my Texas Field Guides was the Bumelia Borer, a spectacular long-horned beetle that is, in my opinion, a serious contender for the most beautiful beetle in the country. Though this species would likely be relatively easy to find due to its host specificity and propensity to visit bait traps, I had never made the effort. I had found a few bits of elytra and exoskeleton remains on a few occasions in central Texas, but had yet to see a live individual.
This all changed last weekend, when I visited the Nature Conservancy's Nash Prairie Preserve. Here I found an absolute bounty of pollinators visiting the sea of blooming Rattlesnake Master in this exceptionally high quality coastal prairie remnant. I photographed Trigonopeltastes delta, a beautiful flower scarab, and watched Carolina Mantis nymphs as they sat in ambush on the Rattlesnake Master's flower heads.
Then I saw a massive flying insect, which appeared iridescent bluish black with an orange abdomen, and I initially took to be some manner of spider wasp. When it landed, however, I instantly recognized it as the species I have so long wanted to see.
I followed this spectacular beetle around the prairie for over an hour. It was uninterested in my presence, and allowed for a very close approach as it moved from flower to flower feeding. This species comes in a variety of color morphs, and I was lucky to see one with elements of turquoise and cobalt blue. For me, it's beauty ranks right up there with the spectacular jewel beetles of the genus Chrysina found in West Texas.
Observing this beetle was one of those magical experiences that happened when I least expected it, and it was made all the more special by the incredible setting of the Nash Prairie - a testament to the importance of this place and the conservation work of the Nature Conservancy and other organizations like it.
