About 8 hours later, Jan fired one shot and put the bear on the ground. He's now a nice rug by our front door.
Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) female. One good thing about the dry season in Africa is that you can see 1000s of beasts. You also get the feeling that these animals just 'stand out' against the background, but in may cases it is not until these animals move that you see them, especially when the leaves come back. For the animals that are prey - it is pretty clear that sight and sound are important such as this kudu.
Some thirty/fourty years ago, stork nests were a common sight on telegraph poles and chimneys in Štajerska and Prekmurje regions of Slovenia. Today there are very few and far in between. Even if you see a nest, it's usually abandoned. So I was quite lucky and very happy to catch the sight of this stork family. Immediately parked beside the road and clicked few shots.
Storks are territorial and usualy build a new nest on the remains of last-year one. Hence their nests sometimes grow to gigantic proportions.
This one also has another tenant - the little sparrow on the wire is nesting in the underside of the stork nest.
Too bad no one believes anymore that storks bring babies to people. Perhaps we'd take better care about these magnificent birds then...

Or 'The curious case of the cancelled engineering work'... The Met was supposed to be out from Rayners Lane to Uxbridge this weekend forcing Met Line S Stock to use the Piccadilly Line turnback between the tracks of Rayners Lane. Something that I've never seen or heard of and an event that led at least one other camera wielding enthusiast to make the journey to see it as well! (my excuse was that I was returning to the Wife's!).
In the end the engineering works were cancelled last minute meaning that while Met Line trains still terminated at Rayners Lane an Uxbridge Shuttle was being run from Harrow on the Hill down the rest of the Branch. Why trains weren't run straight through is anyones guess... and to add to it all, a Replacement Bus service was still being run for anyone who actually wanted to go that way!!!
THEIA (pronounced THEE-ah) was the Titan goddess of sight (thea) and shining light of the clear blue sky (aithre). I chose her because my name is Shina and I'm as blind as a bat! I envy the eyeballs of 20/20 sightseers. I can't stand glasses and 10 years of wearing and sleeping in my contacts has ruined my eyes. So yeah I choose Theia, I'm sure she could see for miles! O_o
The New York City Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, New York Cares and the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit organized two Barrier Beautification painting events in conjunction with New York Cares Service Day on Saturday, October 19, 2013. The Urban Art Program is collaborating for the first time with a current student at FIT as part of the Barrier Beautification program. Brooklyn-based artist Brittany Falussy joined volunteers to beautify 200 feet of concrete barriers along Bruckner Boulevard and Gerard Avenue in the Bronx.
The illustrative design "Sight Scene" depicts different colored heads wearing various eye glasses. The design is inspired by the artists many trips on the subway and seeing no only all different types of people, but all different types of eye ware.

Our first port of call in Norway, on a somewhat dreary and overcast day, the old town was an enjoyable place to saunter through. There was also a fantastic collection of print style graffiti, which will follow, but for now a continuation of a very delayed set of holiday photos.
