At the entrance of Tokyo Midtown where people of all ages wander to wonder on the gigantic display of illumination. These strings of crystals with changing-color lights is the star.

The forest department had set up small water troughs (20 cms diameter) in the forest for small birds - while they set up large water troughs (15 - 20 feet diameter) on the ground for animals. As summer comes, these become quite busy and are a great place for sightings.
The White Bellied Blue flycatcher is another endemic of the Malabar forest in India and a pretty serious looking detective type of bird that stares suspiciously for a long time. This was a lifer and on the first day, I was amazed by the birds ability to sit and stare for minutes together without moving.
And in the background was a Brown Cheeked Fulvetta - a small super active bird found much of the subcontinent. They are social birds that are seen in flocks and known for their loud calls.
As soon as the Fulvetta came to the water trough - it was like a kid - lets have fun - dived straight into the water and was making merry. The flycatcher though landed on the edge and stared at the photographers like a minute before slowly taking a dip. I used the opportunity to take a long exposure shot 1/10 sec and am quite happy with the outcome!
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
I took this pic at day time, but I used a filter ND400 to avoid light and shot at slow speed... I took many of them, and I liked this one, even if it was a little bit too blurred... But I liked the atmosphere, so I edited with a blue filter to stress a little more this mood..

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life. And the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it. -Steve Jobs
Hope all my Flickr Friends are having a great holiday today.
God Bless you all and here's hoping for another year of hiking, shooting and exploring new spots, and revisiting old ones.
Keep Fallin'!

Thanks for viewing, have a nice days..
My favourite place for photography is Ness Botanic Gardens on the Wirral, but lockdown restrictions mean that I am unable to travel over the border from Wales to visit at the moment. Inspired by the latest edition of Black and White Photography magazine, the next best thing therefore to revisit some old shots and see what can be done with them, hence a reimagining of the waterfall in sepia/monochrome tones with the help of Lightroom.
