A leaf from a briar appears to be trying to regenerate. I don't know much about plant biology but it's a colourful struggle.

The MetOffice have released their three month advance forecast for the UK and it is expected that, in the midst of the cost of living crisis, we are likely to face a colder than average winter. These advance forecasts are getting harder to predict with rapid arctic warming destabilising the high altitude jet streams. People in the UK are already having to choose between heating and eating as they struggle with obscene energy prices while the energy companies rake in excessive profits. It will be a tough winter ahead.

Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

Northern Pig-tailed Macaque / সিংহ বানর / কুলু বানর
-
The Northern Pig-tailed Macaque is an endangered species, listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. I photographed them in a reserve forest in Bangladesh last December. I was waiting to photograph a few species of birds near a waterbody and found them as they came to drink. This unusual pose of these two macaques drinking water while hanging upside down looks interesting. It seems like they are telling us that their fate of survival is hanging on a narrow line like that fragile branch that they are hanging on. Are we getting the message they are conveying?

I used some light painting and a two exposure composite to get this shot....the air glow seemed especially good that night.
My tribute to Chester........(also from old account)
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Poor photo quality sorry, i struggle to take decent photos at night.

Struggling along toward their end terminal in Channing, this 4 unit set of Milwaukee Road F's is going to make it one way or another having left Iron Mountain, Michigan not long ago - November 9, 1978.
I am pretty sure that winter is over here. It has been a wee bit cold still here but getting better all the time.
Happy Saturday
What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

More practice with reflections and highlights today. I need to put together a kit of items for food. I struggled to balance the apple with the knife and I was worried about it falling off the table and onto my foot. Therefore, I couldn't show the whole apple or it would reveal my crazy prop system. Any tips or ideas on how to prop is always appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and comments!
The weather has changed and suddenly a soggy Autumn is with us. The temperatures have dropped and the evenings have drawn in surprisingly quickly. This yesterday with the sun just struggling to show its face through dense clouds.
