The word sail, a monument to poetry, is the name of a steel sculpture by Heinrich Popp.
The sculpture stands on an open field northwest of Sotzweiler, the birthplace of the sculptor and today a district of the Saarland municipality of Tholey in the district of St. Wendel. On an elevation of about 338 metres above NHN, the sculpture represents a landmark visible from afar.
The word sail consists of two sail-shaped triangles, one of which stands on the top and which are twisted against each other. The two halves of the sail, made of stainless steel, are welded together at their highest point. At the same time, the empty space between the two steel plates also has a sail-like shape, depending on the point of view.
The monument, a gift from Heinrich Popp to his home community, was erected in 2005 after several years of planning and execution. The two steel plates were cast in the Dillinger Hütte and rolled to a thickness of 3 cm. The sculpture has a height of 13 meters and a total weight of approx. 30 tons.
The term word sail is also the name of a writing and poetry competition initiated by the artist at participating schools in Saarland.

Das Wortsegel, ein Denkmal für Poesie, ist der Name einer Stahlplastik von Heinrich Popp.
Die Skulptur steht auf offenem Feld nordwestlich von Sotzweiler, dem Geburtsort des Bildhauers und heute ein Ortsteil der saarländischen Gemeinde Tholey im Landkreis St. Wendel. Auf einer Anhöhe von etwa 338 Metern über NHN stellt die Plastik eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke dar.
Das Wortsegel besteht aus zwei jeweils segelförmigen Dreiecken, von denen eins auf der Spitze steht und die gegeneinander verdreht/verspiegelt aufgestellt sind. An ihrer obersten Stelle sind die beiden aus rostendem Stahl erschaffenen Segelhälften miteinander verschweißt. Gleichzeitig besitzt auch der sich zwischen den beiden Stahlplatten befindende leere Raum abhängig vom Betrachtungsstandpunkt ebenfalls eine segelähnliche Form.
Das Denkmal, ein Geschenk von Heinrich Popp an seine Heimatgemeinde, wurde nach mehrjähriger Planungs- und Ausführungsphase 2005 errichtet. Die beiden Stahlplatten wurden in der Dillinger Hütte gegossen und bis auf eine Stärke von 3 cm gewalzt. Die Skulptur hat eine Höhe von 13 Metern und besitzt ein Gesamtgewicht von ca. 30 Tonnen
Der Begriff Wortsegel ist gleichzeitig der Name eines von dem Künstler ins Leben gerufenen Schreib- und Lyrikwettbewerbs an teilnehmenden Schulen im Saarland.

My great-grandfather in my maternal side had two-colored eyes. It was very rare that he had one bright ocean blue and the other a medium light gray one. He was of Spanish descent. Family stories were told to us grandchildren that he had a third-eye and can see things ordinary normal folks cannot see. Superstitions I supposed...
"... Superstitions regarding eye colour are related to heterochromia, a rare condition that causes eyes to be different colours.
Some Native American cultures believe that people or animals (especially dogs) with different coloured eyes have the ability to see heaven and earth at the same time. This sounds like a blessing, but in the pagan traditions of Europe, having different coloured eyes was associated with witchcraft."

Same area as the male but on a different day, she was leading on this day. The male might be more colorful but this mature female has a nurturing appearance. It seems like she saw the 'eye' of the lens. The DX crop does bring it in...

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

I don't usually upload more than one photo of the same subject on consecutive days but I thought this Bittern was sufficiently different from yesterday's. This one suddenly exploded out of one reedbed, flew a short distance, then landed in a nearby reedbed. It took me by surprise but I locked onto it just as it came into land. I was really pleased that I managed to freeze the action in its legs and wings. I remember as kids we used to shout Geronimo as we jumped but I never knew why. Apparently U.S. Army paratroopers testing the practice of parachuting from planes began a tradition of shouting "Geronimo!" to show they had no fear of jumping out of an airplane, and was apparently inspired by the 1939 film "Geronimo".
A Redhead male is just about to dive, which is signalled by a subtle flattening of the head and a slight ‘jump’ up before it enters the water. This beautiful bird was feeding on submergent vegetation in the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which has open water even in the coldest weather. Another diving duck in the same genus, Ring-necked Duck (A. collaris), was also feeding in the same area; there are two males visible in this image, the one on the right is in the midst of a dive. Both these species are more-or-less regular through the winter in Carburn Park, though they are often farther from shore and not as close for observation and photography.
The sky's clear, the sun's shining, the path's straight. Another moment of life not spent behind the sceen. Appreciate that moment, there will never be like that one again. Sky's the same, sun's the same. The path? Never the same.
What keeps me going back to the same river, is, that it's never the same, or, to quote an ancient Greek philosopher,"You never step in the same river twice" Heraclitus.
The same two American Badgers we've been following for several days continue their "play" session. Look at the puncture marks on the side of that face! These guys play rough!
Fortunately it appears that the injury has healed without infection, and there is no way to know whether it was a sibling or parent badger that caused it. But look at those teeth, and the powerful jaws, and (in yesterday's photo) the massive claws.
I assume this rough play among badger siblings prepares them for the unforgiving world into which they will soon be cast. Badgers are tough customers out there, and their training evidently starts early.
More to come...

Same direction bt Hoobastank, is just a reference to the fact I always walk this beach in the same direction. There's always different options though depending on the state of the tide, and on this evening, there wasn't a breath of wind, so the rock pools were like mirrors.
Same session from the Moonscape Overlook in Southern Utah. On this composition, I wanted an over the shoulder type feel to the image putting the viewer in the eyes of the subject. The vast desert terrain while the sun crested over the horizon.
Same view, different day, different sky. A beautiful sky but likely warning us of the inclement weather heading our way late tomorrow and into Thursday.
I will thank you in advance for any comment or fave on my image as I may not always have the time to get back.
