Yellowstone National Park has such an amazing variety of landscapes--from lush meadows, sparkling lakes and streams, to stark devastation with just the beginnings of new life appearing. Magnificent!

Der Kronenkranich (Balearica pavonina), auch Schwarzhals-Kronenkranich, Pfauenkranich oder Dunkler Kronenkranich genannt, ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Kraniche (Gruidae). Er ist nahe mit dem Südafrika-Kronenkranich (Balearica regulorum) verwandt. Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet liegt in Subsahara-Afrika.

 

Die Bestandssituation des Kronenkranich wird mit vu (=vulnerable – gefährdet) angegeben, da die Populationszahl des Kronenkranichs in den Jahrzehnten stark zurückgegangen ist. Wesentliche Ursache ist die Zerstörung seines Lebensraumes durch Trockenheit, Überweidung, Anwendung von Pestiziden und Entwässerung.

Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra)

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whinchat

 

The whinchat (Saxicola rubetra) is a small migratory passerine bird breeding in Europe and western Asia and wintering in central Africa. At one time considered to be in the thrush family, Turdidae, it is now placed in the Old World flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. Both sexes have a strong supercilium, brownish upper parts mottled darker, a pale throat and breast, a pale buff to whitish belly, and a blackish tail with white bases to the outer tail feathers, but in the breeding season, the male has an orange-buff throat and breast.

Stark Day absence of color in the gray sky's and white trees in this surreal photograph, shot in North Carolina.

San Diego is marketed as America's Finest City, with year-round near perfect weather, beautiful beaches, quick access to the desert, and plentiful opportunities for fun in the sun. "One foot in the Pacific, one foot in the desert" and an authenticity different from California's other major cities.

 

Sometimes, when the winters have more moisture than normal, San Diego reveals a different side...with green growth across the landscape, snow in the Laguna Mountains, and flooding in the streets along the coastal areas.

 

This is no less San Diego than the 70° and sunny days that we typically enjoy...it is authentic and no less beautiful to my eye.

Trees in the grounds of Newark Castle have a stark beauty when viewed floodlit on a rainy night recently.

The stark beauty of the Farne Islands - rugged, inhospitable, but yet beautiful all the same!

Wäre 218 436 eine gebrauchte Märklinlok und bei ebay verkäuflich, so stünde beim Artikelzustand sicherlich "stark bespielt". Das fiel mir im Sommer 2022 auf, war aber offensichtlich auch schon anno 2017 so. Ihr Lack weist viele abgenutzte weiße Stellen auf.

Am fortgeschrittenen Nachmittag des 8. Juni 2017 wurden Frau und Kinder mal kurz am Wasserburger Badeplatz alleine gelassen, um den IRE 4232 an den beiden östlichen Ausfahrtssignalen von Enzisweiler abzulichten. Unerwartet zugewachsen ging es dort zu. Nicht nur das Gebüsch rechts erschwerte die Umsetzung. Vielmehr war Gleis 1 gar nicht in das Bild zu integrieren. So scheint das linke Signal "bedeutungslos" in der hochgewachsenen Wiese zu stehen.

Saturday Self Challenge; High contrast black and white

 

I spotted this group of trees that had been drowned by a lake, and could see their potential for a photograph. It did require some editing to bring about the above effect and at first I wasnt sure that there was enough high contrast to meet the challenge. After checking some images and definitions it seemed that this fitted the bill.

The next photograph in my photostream will give you a view of the full scene in the afternoon light and you will notice the above group of trees in the bottom right hand corner.

Das Design der CX5.- und CX6. Elevation-Mähdrescher zeugt von der starken Bindung an die Flaggschiff-Modelle von New Holland, mit denen sie die hohe Schlagkraft und ausgezeichnete Leistung gemeinsam haben.

Its alert eyes reflect deep intelligence, primal curiosity, and mastery of its environment ---symbolizing independence, resilience, and quiet strength as it navigates a winter forest.

 

Taken while I was out skiing. I was hoping the encounter would last a little longer, but it was only for a fleeting moment and then it was gone. In that moment we shared a similar connection, we are both lone wolves preferring the silence winter brings.

Yesterday, March 30, 2015, was a Big and Beautiful Sky Day! The large farmhouse and barn located on State Route 43, near Hartville, Ohio seem miniature in comparison.

Hiking to this spot we hoped to find birds or waterfowl... instead we found a frozen pond and a still, stark world.

This image makes me think of the solitude experienced by lightkeepers on long winter nights on the North Atlantic Coast. There is not much warmth, and only the single light to keep you company.

It has been a little while since I brought my Eric Cartman figure anywhere... So, on my drive up to Spray Lakes... I had the bright idea to entitle the photo Stark's Pond as it is featured in South Park cartoon and video game series.
