Trachemys scripta elegans, originaria degli USA meridionali, ha invaso le acque interne della Pianura Veneta grazie all'ignoranza degli "amanti degli animali". Si tratta di una specie aggressiva, che ha già cominciato a riprodursi in libertà e che porterà l'autoctona Emys orbicularis all'estinzione. Nell'immagine un individuo si approccia ad un cospecifico tentando di morderlo al capo. Difficile dire se si tratti di un approccio sessuale ..... ..

Lightning captured with a Canon Powershot SD1100 running the CHDK and a motion detect script.
I am not sure why there's a faint double-image of the lightning bolt - the obvious answer is reflection on the double pane window, except I've taken lots of lightning photos through these windows and not usually gotten that effect.
When I went to bed, there was a prediction of lightning bearing down on us, so I set up this one camera running the motion detect script behind the curtain. I thought about setting up the rest of my cameras but I was really tired and needed to get up early and had only seen some faint sheet lightning so far. Also, when I leave cameras in the windows facing east, I have to either get up at 5am or let them sit in the direct morning sunlight for hours, which I don't think is so great for them, so I often only want to risk it for the old camera I don't care about as much. So, I only set up one camera and went to bed. Then when I woke up in the morning and saw these beautiful clear lightning strikes, I really kicked myself for not staying up a little later to watch the storm and for not setting up the other cameras. I clearly missed a good opportunity. But at least I got a couple photos on this camera.

While I was walking along the coast near Edinburgh one day last month, I came upon a couple of the bays where there were masses of small boulders which had been churned up by the recent high tides, and dumped along the strand line. I guess the average size was about a foot wide by 8 or 9 inches in height and width, but there was a lot variation. There were all colours and shapes, but they seemed to be mainly sedimentary sandstones and mudstones and some conglomerates. Amongst them were many of these - red sandstone with quartz seams running through them. I don't know what was written on them, but they looked to be saying something, to someone, somewhere.
(A geologist contact tells me the 'hieroglyphs' are most probably calcite, not quartz. Thanks Dwight.)

Train: CP 230 with CP 7012 (SD70ACu) and KCSM 4732 (ES44AC).
CP Belleville Subdivision
Newtonville, ON
Idling the night away as the rear DPU for the mornings’s westbound 121, CP 7010 is seen resting at Siberia on Eastern Maine Railways mainline. Depending on train length, and if Irving will be running any trains in the morning before 121 departs, we will often shove our 121 across the bridge at Brownville Junction over to Siberia in order to facilitate an easy recrew, as well as not having to pull the train through the yard to depart.
2:52 Flip the Script - Groomzilla
I too found this theme challenging and had pre-concieved ideas about the shot I intended to post....but it was not to be. Rather than not post at all, I decided that this image might (hopefully) fit the theme, although at first glance you will probably wonder why....
This is the wedding set up for my partners son....and as we all know grooms generally just show up for the occasion don't they? Not this groom....he arranged everything, even down to the flowers!!. The wedding took place in Vanuatu, an island in the Coral Sea, which was virtually decimated 10 months ago by a Category 5 Cyclone. (A side note here, Vanuatu is essentially a 3rd world country about to have an election to replace the politicians that are now in gaol for stealing the cyclone relief funds that the world donated to help them rebuild!!)
Being young and naive the groom believed that his chosen venue would be rebuilt in time for the big day. It was not, hence the venue and accommodation for all guests had to be changed about 8 weeks prior to the event. And of course Vanuatu is again in the midst of cyclone season AND one was forming prior to and during our stay. The day of the wedding we awoke to heavy, squally rain and strong, gusting winds. The venue operators pleaded with the groom to move the event inside. He refused, firm in his belief that despite all the odds the weather would co-operate...and miraculously it did.
I took this picture about 3/4 hour prior to the ceremony when it finally cleared. The ceremony and reception took place on this deck and all guests sported that wonderful "windswept" hair look, including his 86 and 84 year old grand parents who made the long trek to attend.
Fortunately, the cyclone by-passed the Southern Islands of Vanuatu with no major damage.
My apologies for not keeping up over the past week, shall do my best to catch up over the next few days.
