It is extremely sad to witness puffins resorting to using fishing line to construct their nests. This highlights the impact of human activity on the natural world and the dangerous consequences of littering. The use of fishing line puts the birds' lives at risk and has serious consequences for the puffin and its offspring, including entanglement, injury, and death. It is crucial that we all take responsibility for preserving the environment and its inhabitants by disposing of waste properly and reducing our reliance on harmful materials.
Knowing that I'm allergic to these fascinating creatures, my adrenaline went all the way up by getting this close to them. I could not miss this chance, could I?
The signs alternating messages, "EXTREME BLOWOVER RISK" and "WIND GUSTS 60+ MPH" seemed about right. My GVW was just under 80,000 lbs and I was getting pushed about pretty good. The temperatures had been warm, in the 50's, so the roads were dry, even so many drivers were finding places to park for the evening. I started my day at 3 AM, so even though I'd driven less than 200 miles, the early delivery and then a pick-up at Coors in Golden Colorado had pretty much done in my productivity for the day. Took this shot from the parking lot of the Summit Rest Area about 18 miles East of Laramie, Wyoming. It's the highest elevation on I-80 at over 8,000 feet.

The winter weather is absolutely brutal as Metra 143 heads outbound with a Union Pacific Northwest Line train, passing under the searchlights at Clybourn Junction, Chicago. Windchills were well below -20 degrees F, and raw, ripping wind was driving powdery snow into every crevice. Risking frostbite and hypothermia like an idiot, I stood outside on the platform for over an hour here to document the (Covid-reduced) "rush" in some of the most intense winter conditions Chicago had seen in a few years.

Put yourself Damme canal on the ferry Kobus. This ferry is completely manually operated and is suitable for walkers and cyclists. You can find it at the end of the Killer Street in Lapscheure. Have fun!
The Damme Canal (French: Canal de Damme. Dutch: Damse Vaart or Napoleonvaart) is a canal in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The canal links Bruges with the Western Scheldt at Sluis (now across the frontier in The Netherlands). It was constructed on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte who wished to create a canal network in order to permit the efficient transport of troops without the risk of disruptive interventions from the British navy.
I get tingles from the secret vulnerability that comes just with wearing a strippable dress in clubs. As the dress is peeled off, the straps come off my shoulders. This is Vanilla Bae's Arianna dress, one of my favorites. So naughty.
Mkinvarstveri is the peak, which attracts attention among every kind of persons. You don’t need to be a mountaineer, or climber, to stand your foot on that majestic peak. Everyone can conquer Mkinvarstveri, if there are enough desire, effort, right time and essential equipment, and of course, experienced team.
Let’s start with the technical details: Mkinvartsveri is situated on the border of Kazbegi municipality, in Khokh Range. According to many different sources, it is 5033 meters in the sea level. Supposedly, in Winter as the snow covers the mountain, it “becomes” higher. From Mkinvartsveri descends several glaciers: Suatisi, Mna, Ortsveri, Devdaraki and others. From here outflows the river Tergi. Mkinvartsveri is the third highest glacier in Georgia, it is just 150 meters lower, than the highest point- Shkhara in the nation of Georgia.
The summit is covered with snow constantly, does not matter, if it’s Summer or Winter. Here you will come across boundless crevasses, which, unfortunately, absorbed lives of many people. You can get there at any time, but in Winter and Spring it is an extremely dangereuses zone, as there are many avalanches here. Also, in Winter the temperature is sharply low, and one needs special preparation and equipment. For those, who can’t dare to come against such complexity, should get there in the half of Summer, till the last days of September. This is the best time for Mkinvartsveri. During this period the sun shines constantly on those cold slopes of Mkinvartsveri. It is the reason, why snow melts down, so it’s easier to walk and also, it becomes less risky. In the first half of September, the snow reaches the lowest stage, and the risk of falling in crevice is minimal, as the main problem- snow covered crevices are rare at this time. Also, the rain and windstorm “visits” the bride of the ravine more seldom. So, most of the tourists prefer to get there during this period- the beginning of September.
But, reaching for the peak of Mkinvartsveri is not easy at all. You should be really very serious. It’s a sad story, but I have to remind you, that many people, inexperienced, as well as experienced ones, left their lives here, on its white slopes. The biggest enemy here is holes/crevasses, which you can’t notice while walking on the snow, and you never know, when it opens the doors of his heart and cuddle you forever. To avoid such things, hikers use special ropes, where is tied every person of the team. They are walking some distance away from each other, as if one of them falls through the hole, others will be able to rescue the unlucky one. During that dangerous journey you will meet many signs, which warns you not to walk alone, as the Mkinvartsveri “does not like” alone souls, and advise us to walk with our team, roped (!). Another very serious hazard thing is the thunder! Can you believe it? Well, here many lives have been vanished because of thunder. During bad weather, the heavenly powers send affluent energies to the Bride the range. So, if you see, that there are clouds gathering, or it’s about to start raining soon, don’t take a step forward and just go back, somewhere in a safe place. Don’t hurry up! The Bride of the ravine is not going elsewhere. So, just wait for the spectacular, perfect time, chose the best weather, the group, its members and try to avoid the bad things, which you can.
As for the equipment, to walk there, you must have: warm and waterproof jacket, trousers, gloves, special, mountain shoes, mountain-climbers girdle, crampon (climbing iron to ice), adze (walking stick with sharp steel tip for ice-picking), rope and carbine. These equipment one can hire in Kazbegi, or at Meteo Station.
I tossed caution to the wind and boldly approached the skeletons of this T-Rex, prehistoric dog and dino hatching from an egg, along with a terrifying gargoyle. This is serious permanent stuff, not a Halloween display.
My strong recommendation to other photogs in a similar dangerous situation: Don't try this at home, folks!
Wetzlar ist eine Stadt in Deutschland im Bundesland Hessen. Es ist bekannt als einer der Wohnorte Goethes und als historischer Hauptsitz von Leica.
Die Häuser in Wetzlar sind oft wunderschön verzierte Fachwerkhäuser. Fünf Jahrhunderte alt wurden sorgfältig restauriert. Früher stellten sie im Brandfall eine große Gefahr dar, und im 18. Jahrhundert kam es nicht selten vor, dass ganze Straßenzüge in den Flammen riesiger Kohlenbecken verschwanden.
Wetzlar is a town in Germany located in the state of Hesse. It is known for being one of Goethe's places of residence as well as the historic headquarters of Leica.
The houses in Wetzlar are often beautifully decorated half-timbered houses. Five centuries old have been carefully restored. In the past they presented a great risk in the event of fire, and it was not uncommon in the 18th century for entire streets to disappear in the flames of giant braziers.
Wetzlar est une ville d'Allemagne située dans le Land de Hesse. Elle est connue pour être l’un des lieux de résidence de Goethe ainsi que le siège historique de Leica.
Les maisons de Wetzlar sont souvent des maisons à colombages magnifiquement décorées. Vieilles de cinq siècles elles ont été soigneusement restaurées. Dans le passé elles présentaient un grand risque en cas d'incendie, et il n'était pas rare encore au XVIIIe siècle que des rues entières disparaissent dans les flammes de brasiers géants.

Here is another photo from the Tops of 2018 folder that I'm just now adding to FB. This is the caption I wrote at the time:
After getting the photos in this post:

After getting those shots the whole gang of Doug Boudrow, John Kittredge, Tyler Varnum, Vincent Colombo, and whoever else I'm missing moved down to the Ludlow area to shoot the foliage train from Chester coming up the hill. We did the same, but then made the risky decision to chase east a bit cause there was one shot I really wanted with the last Green Mountain painted geep on the rear.
We weren't sure if we could get it and then still double back west before the 263/slurry freight started down hill.
Well, as you can see, we did.
This shot posted a while ago if you missed it: flic.kr/p/2i5muQ4
But if we hadn't and missed the shot of 263 round the curve at Okemo in perfect storm light I think Doug would have lost it!
This is the shot I took the risk for. Green Mountain GP9 804 rides the rear of the 10 AM foliage train heading back east downgrade on the former Rutland mainline to Bellows Falls. The old Rutland bridge over the Black River in the village of Proctorsville just east of Depot St is so cool to frame a train in with its build date cut out in the top of the truss frame.

Swimming pools in Victoria and elsewhere in Australia have been closed during the pandemic. There is apparently some evidence that, because of the treatment of the water in public pools, there is a very low risk of infection from swimming itself however they are places of gathering and no doubt social distancing would be difficult especially on a warm day.

To be honest, we skidded to a stop on the shoulder of a busy highway bridge and Lynn photographed out the car window with our little point-and-shoot Sony -- maybe six clicks before the semi trucks made us too nervous to risk staying longer -- near Deepwater, Missouri.
Once again I am at the beach near Jökulsárlón. This place is an endless source of photographic possibilities.
Being there in mid winter means that you shoot the icebergs towards the rising and setting sun. This time however the sun did not create any spectacular colors but a stripe of light along the horizon.
The calm weather and the relatively calm sea meant that I could get near where the splashing waves catch the icebergs without to much risk to my gear or my self.
