Rascando el cielo
I found really tall the buildings in Panama. I heard they have a 90 floor building and are plannig for one with 100. Using concrete it is a really huge thing.
Although these birds of a feather appear to be different they are classified as "California Gulls". A young couple was throwing scraps of food to a group of ground squirrels and the Gulls couldn't get in on the action. Frustration set in and the beak locking Gull gave his buddy the business. A little foot to the chest too...no bandages were need while taking this shot!
"The Watching Rock"
In the heart of a bustling city, nestled between a tangle of walking paths and gnarled oaks, sat a rock. Not just any rock—this was Watcher, a smooth, gray boulder with a curious spirit and an unusual hobby: he loved watching humans.
Watcher had been in the same spot for hundreds of years, long before the city rose around him. At first, there were only animals, wind, and rain. Then came carriages, bicycles, skyscrapers—and eventually, people in stretchy pants doing yoga and arguing about kombucha flavors.
Every day in the city park was a new episode of Watcher's favorite show: Strange Humans Doing Stranger Things.
He adored the early joggers, with their rhythmic puffing and red faces. He'd try to guess who would trip over the uneven paving stone that always caught new runners off guard. (He kept an imaginary scoreboard. The current tally was: Stone – 48, Humans – 3.)
The dog walkers fascinated him too. The humans always thought they were in charge, but Watcher could see who was really leading whom. He once saw a pug drag a grown man through a puddle like a sled dog on caffeine.
Lovers were the most mysterious. They would sit near him on the bench, whispering secrets and pressing their foreheads together like oddly shaped mushrooms. Watcher didn’t understand love, but he liked the way it made humans glow. Once, a couple carved a heart into his side. It tickled, but he didn’t mind. He thought of it as a tattoo—though he was annoyed when another rock called it cliché.
Children, though—children were the best. They would climb him, jump off him, hug him, and sometimes dress him up with scarves and silly hats. One winter, a child glued googly eyes on him. He couldn’t see, of course, but the squirrels insisted it made him look “extra alive.”
Watcher never spoke. He never moved. But he felt everything. He soaked in laughter, heartbreak, songs played on portable speakers, and the electric sizzle of skateboards scraping past.
He wasn’t just a rock.
He was part of the park.
Part of the city.
And part of the story of every strange, beautiful human who ever walked by.

Restharrow Scrape, Sandwich, Kent.
The Bar-headed Goose is one of the most striking of the geese. The name of this very gracefully-built bird derives from the two prominent horseshoe shaped, brownish-black bars enhancing the white head.
The general colour is pale grey. A large wing area for its weight compared with other geese, and other physiological adaptations, enable it to migrate at exceptionally high altitudes over the Himalayas. The breeding area is largely Central Asia and migration for the winter is to India, Assam and northern Burma.

Collecting scrap can be very dangerous... Especially if you want to take it from a scorpion...

I've been on the road trying to wrap up my late Father's estate. This was my first up close look at the new Trump Tower in Chicago. Taken from across the Chicago River at State and Wacker in the North Loop. I can see my old office
Thanks for your awesome comments :-))

Reflections were incredible today. So much so, that I had to tone it down a bit as it looked really fake when taken straight from my phone.
