Kudu, also known as the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), is a magnificent antelope species found in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It is a large and majestic animal, renowned for its unique and striking appearance.
Physical Characteristics:
The Kudu is one of the largest antelope species, with males, known as bulls, weighing up to 600 kg (1,300 lbs) and standing around 1.5 to 1.7 meters (5 to 5.5 feet) tall at the shoulder. Females, known as cows, are smaller and lighter.
Both males and females have long, spiral-shaped horns. The horns can grow up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) in length in males, while in females, they are shorter and slimmer.
Appearance:
Kudus have a beautiful coat with distinctive white stripes along their sides. These stripes are believed to act as a form of camouflage in their woodland habitats, helping them blend in among dappled sunlight and shadow.
The coat coloration varies, but they are generally reddish-brown with a tinge of blue-grey in some areas. The undersides are usually pale.
Habitat and Behavior:
Kudus are found in a range of habitats, including woodlands, savannas, and dense bush areas. They are adaptable animals but prefer regions with enough vegetation for cover.
These antelopes are mainly browsers, feeding on leaves, fruits, and shoots. They have the ability to reach high branches to access food that other herbivores might not reach.
Kudus are predominantly nocturnal, which means they are most active during the night, helping them avoid predators and the heat of the day.
Males are typically solitary or found in small bachelor groups, while females form small herds, often accompanied by one dominant male.
Conservation Status:
The Kudu population is generally considered stable, but some local populations face threats due to habitat loss and hunting for their meat, hides, and horns.
Conservation efforts focus on preserving their natural habitats, implementing anti-poaching measures, and promoting responsible tourism to protect this iconic African species.
Kudus are not only remarkable creatures for their physical beauty but also for their role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats. As such, efforts to safeguard their existence are crucial for the overall health of Africa's biodiversity.

I Choose You
Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
'Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
I'll unfold it before you
Would have strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you...
💋Drumknott
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you...
I choose... you
(Yeah...) oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again
My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose... you
We are not perfect
We'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes
I will prove my love to you
I am not scared of the elements
I am under-prepared, but I am willing
And even better
I get to be the other half of you
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you...
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
You
Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks. 221
The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They’re a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can’t take your eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals don’t migrate and they don’t molt into a dull plumage, so they’re still breathtaking in winter’s snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning
you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it :-)

Yellowhammer - Emberiza Citrinella
The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a passerine bird in the bunting family that is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Most European birds remain in the breeding range year-round, but the eastern subspecies is partially migratory, with much of the population wintering further south. The male yellowhammer has a bright yellow head, streaked brown back, chestnut rump and yellow underparts. Other plumages are duller versions of the same pattern. The yellowhammer is common in open areas with some shrubs or trees, and forms small flocks in winter. Its song has a rhythm like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". The song is very similar to that of its closest relative, the pine bunting, with which it interbreeds.
Yellowhammer males learn their songs from their fathers, and over the course of time regional dialects have developed, with minor differences to the conclusion of the basic song; all are mutually recognised by birds from different areas. Each male has an individual repertoire of song variants within its regional dialect; females tend to mate with males that share their dialect, and prefer those with the largest repertoires.
The pine bunting and yellowhammer are so closely related that each responds to the other's song. The male yellowhammer's song is more attractive to females, and is one reason for the dominance of that species where the ranges overlap.
Yellowhammers of the British and Irish race, E. c. caliginosa were introduced to New Zealand by local acclimatisation societies in 1862, and soon spread over the main islands. They sometimes visit New Zealand's subantarctic islands, although rarely staying to breed, and have reached Australia's Lord Howe Island on a number of occasions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bunting was seen as a serious agricultural pest in its adopted country.
Populations of yellowhammer have also been introduced to the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The yellowhammer is a bird of dry open country, preferably with a range of vegetation types and some trees from which to sing. It is absent from urban areas, forests and wetlands. Probably originally found at forest edges and large clearing, it has benefited from traditional agriculture, which created extensive open areas with hedges and clumps of trees.
Populations have declined in recent decades in western Europe, including the British Isles, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy. The yellowhammer is a red-list (severely declining) species in Ireland and the UK In eastern Europe, numbers appear to be stable, although the trend in Russia is unknown. Changes to agricultural practices are thought to be responsible for reduced breeding densities. The introduced population in New Zealand has been very successful, with breeding densities much higher than in the UK.

Theodore Roosevelt
The slogan 'The buck stops here' is a promise that responsibility will not be passed on to anyone else. What's the origin of the phrase 'The buck stops here'? U.S. president Harry S. Truman had a sign on his desk with 'The buck stops here' inscribed on it.
NBC News’ Kristin Welker asked the president(Trump) if he is to blame for the lag in testing. “No, I don’t take responsibility at all,” he responded before quickly moving to his tried and true strategy: blame Obama. “We were given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time.”
But that simply isn’t true. No remaining Obama-era regulation has prevented the administration from rolling out tests.
VOTE!! RESIST!! kick our president out of office at the polls!! stay safe and well :-)

Some facts on flies...
Flies form one of the five most diverse insect orders, including about 150,000 described species in 150 families.
It's estimated that there are 30,000 species of fly in Australia, of which only 6400 have been described.
Flies can be distinguished from other insects because they have only one pair of functional wings. Almost all flies have mouthparts that are adapted for lapping or piercing and sucking.
A large component of the world's fly fauna is unique to Australia. Flies are ubiquitous and often abundant in Australian terrestrial ecosystems.
They perform important ecological functions such as nutrient recycling, predation and pollination, and their larvae are often parasitoids of other insects.
Many species of fly are regarded as a nuisance, including the bush fly (Musca vetustissima), mosquitoes, sandflies and blackflies.
Flies are responsible for the transmission of a wide variety of disease-causing micro-organisms in humans and animals.
Most of these diseases are absent from Australia, with exceptions such as dengue fever and some types of encephalitis.

What happens to large structures that become derelict? No, this is not about 'me', but who is responsible or can you just be allowed to let something decompose irrespective of how it affects others or the environment? This may be a wreck in a better state than the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach harbour. Apparently it is at risk of sinking as there are no bilge pumps to drain the lower compartments and they are corroding and weakening. But who can afford the hundreds of millions that might be required to replace the weakened parts and keep it floating? The current owners seem to be suggesting it's not their problem. If it sinks, will they just leave someone else to pay the bills and deal with the wreck? It's a bit big.
Cádiz
The bridge of the Constitution of 18125 (originally called the Pepa bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the bay of Cádiz, giving access to Cádiz from the mainland, being the third access to the city, after the link by the Isthmus of San Fernando and the Carranza bridge. The bridge is the continuation of the Southern highway, forming an integral part of the Access highway to Cádiz, being responsible for it by the Ministry of Development of the state government. The board is divided between the dual carriageway (two lanes in each direction) and another carriageway reserved for public transport.
The bridge began construction in 2008 and was opened on September 24, 2015.6 Once opened, it became the brightest bridge in Spain at 540 meters. Considering the cable-stayed bridges, it would be the third brightest bridge in Europe, after the Normandy bridge (856 m) and the Rio-Antirio bridge (three 560 m spans). The total work consists of the bridge over the bay, with a total length of 3,092m, 1,440 of which over the water, plus the 796m Río San Pedro Viaduct. With the accesses to the bridges, the work extends over 5 km.
The project was written by the engineer Javier Manterola and has been carried out by the Spanish company Dragados. The total cost of the project was 511 million euros.7
The existence of large basins in the sea, carved in the sandstone rock known as “pedra tosca”, and popularly called “Baños de la Reina”, have been responsible for naming the entire archaeological site.
Although these nurseries or "swimming pools" are related to the breeding of live fish, their possible use as a water garden for the contemplation of marine beauty is not ruled out, like other high imperial "villae" of the Tyrrhenian, where these facilities , expensive to build and costly to maintain, were also a sign of the power and social prestige of its owner.
La existencia de unas grandes cubetas dentro del mar, talladas en la roca arenisca conocida como “pedra tosca”, y denominadas popularmente “Baños de la Reina”, han sido las responsables de dar nombre a todo el enclave arqueológico.
Si bien estos viveros o "piscinae" están relacionados con la cría del pescado vivo, no se descarta su posible uso como jardín acuático destinado a la contemplación de la belleza marina, al igual que otras "villae" alto imperiales del Tirreno, donde estas instalaciones, de cara construcción y costoso mantenimiento, constituían además una muestra del poder y prestigio social de su propietario.

Llenroc is a Gothic revival house constructed for Ezra Cornell just below the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, United States. It now houses the Cornell chapter of the Delta Phi fraternity.
Llenroc was built for Ezra Cornell between 1865 and 1875. It is a fine and well preserved example of masonry Gothic Revival architecture.
The house is constructed of "Llenroc limestone", a name used for the limestone quarried as building material taken from west of Libe Slope. Artisans from around the world created the many elaborate fixtures of the house including: English woodcarvers responsible for the carved interior molding on the first and second floor and stonemasons from Germany completed the exterior stonework. Irish, Scottish, Italian, and Indian craftsmen also made significant contributions. Eight complete marble fireplaces were also imported from Europe to be plac 242
Even dead you remain the enemy and loser...................
The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)
While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.
While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.
It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.
The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.
So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.
Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!
It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!
The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.
This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.
The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".
When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.
On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.
When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.

Hi There!
Couldn't help but throw in that childhood song!
Here he is, the much aligned brood parasite, the Brown-headed Cowbird (male). That means that the female lays eggs in the nests of other birds and then takes off, leaving the other bird responsible for the raising of the Cowbirds' young. As I see it, Nature has its reasons, no matter how hard for us to understand.
This male was scurrying around like a madman as he searched for food and paid little attention to me. In the right light, the colours of the male are really lovely (IMHO).

Aldham, Essex – St Margaret and St Catherine
The church is situated in Aldham, Essex which is about 6.5 miles from Colchester, the nearest large town.
Built in 1855, it replaced an older Medieval church situated about a mile away that was demolished a year earlier.
Much of the building materials come from the older church, water basin (Piscina), Porch timbers, Doors and some of the Pews were built using the wood from the old pews. With the addition of a West Tower and Northwest Vestry, new materials (such as Bath Stone) were used in this construction.
The Architect was Edward Charles Hakewill, who was responsible for designing St John of Jerusalem in South Hackney and St James in Clapton both London churches as well as the restoration of a number of Suffolk churches.
The East window, dedicated to Philip Morant, who was a rector from 1745-1770, also Essex Historian and the Chancel North window were designed by Ward and Hughes.
It is possible that the dedication of St Margaret and St Catherine refers only to the bells and not to an earlier dedication, records do not show this fact.
There are in the graveyard, two Commonwealth War Graves plus two other gravestones of Soldiers that died in WWI.
This will be the final posting from this wonderful church.

Baphuon is a Hindu temple located immediate northwest of Bayon in Angkor Thom. It is a massive architecture that measures 120 m by 100 m and 34 m tall plus a 210 m long approach road. It is a typical temple mountain. It would be 50 m tall if the central tower is restored.
Two photos were merged to get this image.
It was constructed in the mid 11th century by Suryavarman I who reigned Angkor Empire from 1006 to 1050. The temple was constructed immediate south of his palace. He was also responsible for the constructions of Preah Vihear on the Thai border, Phimeanakas, Ta Keo and West Baray in Yasodharapura (Angkor Thom).
The temple was largely collapsed by the 20th century. It was restored by disassembling to all the pieces and reassembling them like a 4D jigsaw puzzle, which started in 1996 and completed in 2011.

Here's an adaption to another photo I took on my iPhone whilst snorkelling off the east coast of Zanzibar. The subject is an enquiring Sergeant Major fish. They were probably the most common place of all fishes I came across during my snorkel session. If you are wondering how it gained its name, well, it is its stripes that are responsible.
The blue colouring of the fish is simply the reflection from the sky whilst the background is my doing as I have blacked it out to emphasise the fish.
''You will be sent to an abandoned island on your own, you will be allowed only one piece of music, just one melody, one song of your own wish, to carry with you. - Which last melody would you choose to bring?''
My answer would be Juno Reactor - Immaculate Crucifixion.
I'll preface this by saying Eoleon Elcano is responsible for tagging me. And I will also say that I share the sentiment - I have way too many genre-specific "all time favorites." I thought this was going to be a tall order.
In reality, it took under a minute of thought to know what I could contentedly listen to in a deserted island, to the end of time.
In part, because it scratches every last corner of my brain in all the right ways. It's layered, complex, and utterly irreverent to the classical rules of composition. An unapologetic sound painting that appeals to the non-conformist in me.
But also in part, because my brain quiets the fuck down when this is playing - it's too busy tracking all the different elements to distract...well...me from being distracted. This was the soundtrack that - in combination with coffee, Redbull, and/or liquor - was responsible for never missing an academic deadline as a chronically-procrastinating student that was generally more interested in literally anything else. This, on repeat, was ultimately responsible for seeing me through a grueling graduation project.
"I'd like to thank the Wikipedia reference section, Stolichnaya and by extension my liver, and Juno Reactor, whose contributions made this possible." Ha. Ha.
It's been well over a decade since then. It's still my go-to for anything that requires real focus over an extended period. But I still enjoy listening to it just for the sake of it, savoring what I personally consider a rather unique musical anatomy. It's become a time capsule with so many packed memories, from my brother calling it "auditory fungus" in how "it grows on you" to blasting it out loud on road trips and other endeavors with my better half. A time capsule of sorts, in that way sound is often evocative of memory. It's its own reel of mental snapshots of most of my adult life.
So yeah. If I have to pick, this is absolutely it.
I won't actually challenge anybody to do this - if you see this, and it resonates with you, then I'd say...do it. Music is an interesting conduit for the human experience.

Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life would lose it's touch
What would I be without you?
There's no place for me without you
Never let me go

There'd be a thousand hours in a day without you

Because of one caress my world was overturned

All my bridges burned by my flming heart
You'd never leave me would you?
You couldn't hurt me could you?
Never let me go

Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל, meaning "Who is like God?") is one of the most powerful and revered archangels across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Traditionally depicted as the commander of God’s heavenly armies, he is the primary spiritual warrior against evil forces.
Key Roles and Scriptural Appearances
Leader of the Heavenly Host: In the Book of Revelation (12:7–9), Michael leads an army of angels to defeat the dragon (Satan) and cast him out of heaven.
Guardian of Israel: The Book of Daniel (10:13, 12:1) identifies him as the "great prince" and protector who stands watch over the people of Israel.
The Archangel: He is the only being explicitly called an "archangel" in the Bible, specifically in the Epistle of Jude (1:9), where he disputes with the devil over the body of Moses.
Islam (Mikail): Known as an angel of mercy, he is responsible for providing nourishment and sustenance to all living beings and is often associated with natural phenomena like rain.

LBN 990 is a reflection nebula in the Monoceros constellation, around 8500 light years from earth.
The bright star in the middle of the frame (HD 42050) is likely responsible for the spectacle that we see here. While the star is a blue giant, the amount of ultraviolet radiation it emits is enough to ionize the surrounding hydrogen, making it light up in the typical red/pink colours. Combined with the blue light from the star itself, it makes for quite the unique view.
