Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from April 2019. I am so desperately missing the sights and sounds of the city but Glasgow remains under level 3 restrictions for another week. Stay safe out there!
I have photographed several bird species around Ao Nang, in Thailand but this chestnut-headed bee-eater (merops leschenaulti) was, for me, a single and surprise sighting. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Gemeint ist die Breitspurseite des Bahnhofes Siemianówka. Zwischen dem ersten Bild des Tages und diesem hier gab es ein gutes Frühstück im Haus am Waldesrand. Mit dem Fotografieren mussten wir uns jedoch beeilen, denn für diese Einstellung hier darf der Zoll nicht auf der Lok sein. Sonst gibt es Ärger, den niemand braucht. Also husch, husch und frisch ans Werk, die Autos der Zöllner waren bereits an den Regelspurgleisen geparkt worden. Zu sehen sind 2M62-0987 und rechts die DLA / Aspect TEM2-086.
Inzwischen ist der Bahnhof komplett umgebaut, einmal durchsaniert und mit reichlich Zinkmasten versehen worden.

Native Masked Bee (Hylaeus (Euprosopoides) perplexus)
My second sighting of this species of Masked Bee. I am hoping they will settle and set up a colony here.

for the Smile on Saturday challenge "music in B+W"
I couldn't resist this week's challenge! I love music, especially classical music. I used to play the clarinet, and now there's just a recorder and a fife in the house to remind me - and plenty of sheet music (arranged primarily for piano). Together with the joke tea towel with dozens of musical puns and expressions.

Dad, I got a bead on Putin. Now, how do you start this thing?
"Clancy, he'll do himself in eventually."
Long live Ukraine.
"Long live Ukraine."
(Waiting for snow is the hardest thing to do, so hard I almost started a war with Russia all by myself out of frustration. Damn you Putin, and damn you global warming. When Dad was a kid he was at the outdoor skating rinks every Christmas day trying out new hockey gear. These days it's 50-50 that we'll even have a white Christmas. Take it to the streets, take it to your leaders, do your own part, and let's reverse this problem before we get to the point where nothing else will matter.)

Last night (12 Aug) at 9:30 pm I received a phone call that Tidda was running at full speed on this bridge, trying to get home! There are big logging trucks going over this narrow bridge and even at night there are trucks and traffic with gaps only just long enough for a dog to run across at high speed. It was a bold and daring move but her only possible way home.
Unfortunately, once again people trying to catch her drove her to turn around and disappear into the bushes on the wrong side of the river again. I was there within 10 minutes - I was in such a rush that I even forgot my phone - but could not find her. I called her and walked around and then later sat near where she disappeared until almost 5 a.m.
Still no Tidda, but this new sighting is very good news. She is well. She is remaining in the area. She is trying to get home. She still has her leash on.
I can refocus my strategies and am really, really hoping for a reunion in the near future!!
Length of bridge 1938 feet, 591 meters.
Width 26.9 feet, 8.2 meters.
Built 1932.
Average daily traffic 6200.
At last I gain the summit plateau of Ben Avon and the rocky tor marking its peak is within sight. I'll have to climb on top to claim the Munro bag but fortunately my legs still seem up the task.
Climbing Ben Avon (pronounced Ben A'an) which stands at 1171 meters (3842 feet), and Beinn a'Bhuird (pronounced Ben a-voashed) standing at 1197 meters (3927 feet), sees me covering a distance of just over 24 miles. They are my 2nd & 3rd Munro's of the season, and bring me to a total of 26 now.
One of the most amazing nature sights we have ever seen - and we've been privileged to have seen a fair few. This zebra migration is supposedly the second biggest animal migration on the planet - behind the famous wildebeest move from the Serengeti.

The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don’t be sad it’s just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

Riisitunturi National Park is in the southern part of Finnish Lapland near Posio. The park covers an area of 77 km² and represents the fell and hill landscapes in Koillismaa. There are colourful hanging bogs on the slopes of the Riisitunturi Fell and scenery over the Lakes Kitkajärvet and the forest landscape of Posio. The snowy forests wintertime are worth seeing by themselves.
