I spotted this Tortoise and his Human Pal taking an ocean-front walk along the cliffs of Palos Verdes California. One thing about California, you will usually find something interesting or unusual, even when you're not looking for it : )
The Tortoise:
Tortoises are "cold-blooded," meaning their body temperature varies with the surrounding environment. They are also herbivores, meaning they eat plants. Tortoises are found in a variety of habitats, including deserts, forests, grasslands, and swamps.
There are over 300 species of tortoises, and they come in a wide range of sizes. The smallest tortoise is the speckled padloper tortoise, which is only about 4 inches long. The largest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, which can grow to be over 150 pounds.
Tortoises are long-lived animals. Some species can live for over 100 years. The oldest known tortoise is a Galapagos tortoise named Jonathan, who is over 190 years old.
Here are some interesting facts about tortoises:
Tortoises have been around for over 200 million years.
The largest tortoise ever recorded was a Galapagos tortoise named "Johnathan" who weighed over 500 pounds and was over 190 years old.
Tortoises are very good at conserving water. They can go for long periods of time without drinking.
Tortoises are not very good swimmers.
Tortoises are very social animals and enjoy spending time with other tortoises.
Tortoises can be very affectionate and make great pets.

used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.
Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)
Hamnøy is a small fishing village in Lofoden, Norway. It is located about 1.5 kilometres northeast of the village of Reine,
The first time I seen an image of this it was somewhere I always wanted to visit and this week I was lucky enough to make it. We had a 4.30am start to make it for blue hour and having an hour or so of snow sleet and rain to stand in but well worth it.
Please feel free to favourite and follow.

We started our trip together 18 years ago, my love. Happy anniversary!
"Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead"
This was yesterday's sunrise (one aspect of it!) as a reverse follow up to yesterday's sunset which I uploaded yesterday. As the pink sunlight shines on the island a dark band of snow clouds drops its load!
I've started working my way through my contacts pictures now and hope I will soon catch up with all of you! It may take an hour or two!
Have a great Wednesday!
... when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.

Have a nice day :-)
I was up early on the day I had a long drive (this picture was taken at 4:00am) and this gave me the chance to see another lovely sunrise. The fishermen in this trawler were obviously up even earlier than I was as they leave for the day's fishing!
Die ersten Vorboten zeigen sich schon. Kein Frost mehr. Die Saison läuft an.
The spring season has started.
I love a good trail. I love it when it pays off with some wonderful scenery or just opens your mind to the world around you.

National Historical Memorial Preserve "Babyn Yar". Kyiv. Ukraine.
С 1941-го по 1943 годы в Бабьем Яру были убиты приблизительно 100 тысяч человек, причем расстрелянных в более позднее время хоронили поверх убитых ранее. Когда нацистам пришлось из Киева отступать, они решили скрыть свои преступления и начали эксгумацию и сожжение тел, тем не менее останки жертв нацистских расстрелов под землей остались. На обширной заросшей территории Бабьего Яра невозможно точно определить, где находятся все могилы погибших. Большинство надгробий уничтожено в советское время.
«Для евреев, – пишет The Times of Israel, – это место особенно важно, потому что именно в Бабьем Яру произошло первое их массовое убийство – это третье или четвертое по величине массовое убийство еврейского народа за все годы Холокоста».
Started in 1999, Takaya Tours is the Lower Mainland’s premier First Nation-owned eco-tourism business. […]. Their Canoe Tours offer a wonderfully rich and lively opportunity to Learn Like a Local by taking to the water in authentic replicas of traditional carved canoes. Guests are given a traditionally decorated paddle and move their group through the protected waters of the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. Leading tours through fascinating points of interest, each vessel is guided by an experienced storyteller who teaches songs, identifies wildlife, and shares the history of the ancient village sites along the shore.
