Pied Flycatcher (M) - Ficedula hypoleuca
The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.
It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.
It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.
The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.
Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

Thanks to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc, Always appreciated.
Arundel Castle is a restored and remodelled medieval castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England. It was established during the reign of Edward the Confessor and completed by Roger de Montgomery. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk.
Since the 11th century, the castle has been the seat of the Earls of Arundel and the Dukes of Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.
The original structure was a motte-and-bailey castle. Roger de Montgomery was declared the first Earl of Arundel as the King granted him the property as part of a much larger package of hundreds of manors. Roger, who was a cousin of William the Conqueror, had stayed in Normandy to keep the peace there while William was away from England. He was rewarded for his loyalty with extensive lands in the Welsh Marches and across the country, together with one fifth of Sussex (Arundel Rape). He began work on Arundel Castle in around 1067.
The castle then passed to Adeliza of Louvain (who had previously been married to Henry I) and her husband William d'Aubigny. Empress Matilda stayed in the castle, in 1139. It then passed down the d'Aubigny line until the death of Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel in 1243. John Fitzalan then inherited jure matris the castle and honour of Arundel, by which, according to Henry VI's "admission" of 1433, he was later retrospectively held to have become de jure Earl of Arundel.
The FitzAlan male line ceased on the death of Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, whose daughter and heiress Mary FitzAlan married Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, to whose descendants the castle and earldom passed.
In 1643, during the First English Civil War, the castle was besieged. The 800 royalists inside surrendered after 18 days. Afterwards in 1653 Parliament ordered the slighting of the castle; however "weather probably destroyed more".
Although the castle remained in the hands of the Howard family over the succeeding centuries, it was not their favourite residence, and the various Dukes of Norfolk invested their time and energy into improving other ducal estates, including Norfolk House in London. Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, was known for his restoration work and improvements to the castle beginning in 1787. The folly that still stands on the hill above Swanbourne Lake was commissioned by and built for the Duke by Francis Hiorne at this time.
In 1846, Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, visited Arundel Castle for three days. Henry Howard, 13th Duke of Norfolk, remodelled the castle in time for her visit to a design by an architectural firm, Morant: a suite of six rooms were built on the second floor of the south-east range at this time.
The 19th-century embellishments had not been completed when this picture was published in 1880. Soon after the 1846 Royal visit the 14th Duke began re-structuring the castle again. The work, which was done to the designs of Charles Alban Buckler and undertaken by Rattee and Kett of Cambridge, was completed in the late 19th century. The 16th Duke had planned to give the castle to the National Trust but following his death in 1975 the 17th Duke cancelled the plan. He created an independent charitable trust to guarantee the castle's future, and oversaw restorative works.
The extensive gardens had received significant improvements by early 2020 through the efforts of head gardener Martin Duncan and his crew. A horticulturalist and landscape designer, Duncan has been working at the Castle since 2009; in 2018, he received the Kew Guild Medal. The gardeners and volunteers "have worked wonders with their bold and innovative plantings", according to an April 2020 report by Country Life. Their most recent efforts led to a wild water garden around the ponds.

The old adage of if you don't succeed try, try again is well known to those shooting landscapes and cityscapes. We've all encountered the time when the weather, the sun, the clouds, the city lights, or maybe all of the above just don't want to cooperate when you're trying to get that perfect shot. If we're lucky we get to go back to try again and hope the next opportunity turns out better.
That's the story of this beautiful area along False Creek in Vancouver overlooking Science World and BC Place stadium. I was hoping to get a decent blue hour shot here and luckily was in Vancouver for 4 days which allowed for multiple attempts. On the first attempt the rain came pouring down right around when sunset was supposed to be through blue hour. The second attempt I was very hopeful. It was Victoria Day, a major holiday in Canada, and the weather was going to be wonderful! My hopes were up dreaming of fireworks and the Science World dome with amazing lights... only to find no fireworks and most of the dome lights off with only a small section in red... Luck was on my side on the 3rd try with the dome fully lit with a cool purple! Eureka! Third time turned out to be a charm :)
" You won’t succeed with every try. You just need to do your best …With adventure comes perspective And relationships – and skill Yes, the things that really matter…. When you act with power and will Prosperity is character. When challenging times arrive, So brace up and hold steadfast… Act with confidence… and thrive for your prosperity. "

Of all Spain's tens of thousands of historical monuments, the Alhambra stands supreme. The final manifestation of the doomed Moorish civilization in the peninsula, its history also mirrors that the of Spain in the succeeding six centuries. Taken by Fernando and Isabel in a surge that culminated in Catholic Spain ruling vast tracts of Europe and New World, it, like the country, eventually fell into dereliction and then use as a barracks in the war-torn 19th century.
Rediscovered by Romantic travelers, it is now one of Europe's most-visited destinations!
The defensible hills were the principal reason why the Zirid rulers moved their town from nearby Elvira to Granada in the early 11th century. A natural fortress, the Sabika hill on which the Alhambra stands had previously been used by the Romans and Visigoths, but only a few remnants have been found from those eras. The Zirids fortified the hill, although their main palace was on the facing Albayzín. The Alhambra as we see it today was principally a construction of the later Nasrid dynasty, who rose to power in the 1230s and established the hill as their seat of power. The Nasrids ruled Granada until 1492 and are responsible for the most of the many buildings that form the Alhambra complex. Of these, their royal palace complex is what inspires visitors with the most awe. After Boabdil surrendered the city and fortress to the Catholic Monarchs, many modifications were made to the existing structures, and several new edifices were thrown up, not least of which is the bulky Renaissance Palacio de Carlos V. The name Alhambra is from Arabic al-qalat al-hambra, meaning the red fort, perhaps from the colour of the sandstone, especially in the setting sun.
In this anthological light at sunset, I was very happy to succeed in this huge panorama of Mâcon from nine original photos assembled 3 by 3 in HDR mode, then with the 3 resulting HDR photos juxtaposed in one.
I tried on this photo to give the widest possible view of Mâcon. It gives a good idea of the scale and beauty of the panorama. It is particularly highlighted by extraordinary reflections in the Saône river, and by the sunset which illuminates the 2 towers of Saint-Pierre church and tints the sky with magnificent colours.
You can also admire here almost the entire Saint-Laurent bridge, dating from the 11th century. Only the last arch on the Saint-Laurent side is missing. Its extraordinary length for a medieval bridge (215 m - 706 ft) is obvious.
On the other side of the bridge, the whole Saône river's front of Mâcon unfolds, with in particular the 2 towers (14th century) of old Saint-Vincent, and the departmental archives tower which dates from the 1960s.

Immense panorama au coucher du soleil
Dans cette lumière d'anthologie au coucher du soleil, j'ai été très heureux de réussir ce panorama immense de Mâcon à partir de neuf photos d'origine assemblées 3 par 3 en mode HDR, puis avec les 3 photos HDR résultat juxtaposées en une seule.
J'ai cherché sur cette photo à donner la vue la plus large possible sur Mâcon. Elle donne une bonne idée de l'ampleur et de la beauté du panorama. Il est particulièrement mis en valeur par des reflets extraordinaires dans la Saône, et le coucher de soleil qui illumine les 2 tours de l'église Saint-Pierre et teinte le ciel de couleurs magnifiques.
On admire ici aussi pratiquement tout le pont de Saint-Laurent, datant du 11ème siècle. Il ne manque que la dernière arche coté Saint-Laurent. Sa longueur extraordinaire pour un pont médiéval (215 m) nous saute aux yeux.
De l'autre côté du pont, tout le front de Saône de Mâcon se déploie, avec notamment les 2 tours (14ème siècle) du vieux Saint-Vincent, et la tour des archives départementales qui date des années 1960.

The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
This image is almost entirely out of focus except for the ear and a small part on Iolanda's hair. I'm not sure everyone will like this, but I have a thing for out-of-focus images. Maybe this doesn't succeed, but I want to provide just enough detail to allow the viewer to fill in the rest. I think it kinda works with the title, too. We don't always see people who pass by "in focus".
This image was taken at Chesapeake. Unfortunately, the sim is gone, now.
She is standing here like a great prima donna after a succeeded arie, this beautiful love in a mist. She is standing in the spotlight rising her arms high up in the air and facing the thunderous applause of the masses. She more than deserved it because this was a terrific performance.
Wie eine große Primadonna nach einer gelungenen Arie steht sie da, diese wunderschöne Jungfer im Grünen. Sie steht im Rampenlicht, reißt die Arme empor und stellt sich dem tosenden Applaus der Massen. Den hat sie mehr als verdient , denn das war fürwahr ein grandioser Auftritt.

Flit is thankful for the rain and ventures out to get some smokes while the population density is low. Buying a few packs might be a good idea, and some snacks while she's out before hunkering down in her bunker for another week... or so.
53 days in self-isolation is starting to get to her, the uncertainty starting to weigh on her mind trying not to get caught up in the endless variables that play in her circuits. That and the humans using all the bandwidth watching Netflix at home is interfering with her own communications systems.
She will have to take the lockdowns one day at a time, we've all come too far to muck it all up now...

Well, it seems winter isn't done with us yet ... just as we were beginning to see the shingles on our rooftops and the gravel in our driveways Mother Nature decided to blanket it all with more snow - and she is not done yet apparently. Those weather wizards are calling for another 20 cm's of snow over the next 3 days. You can see the sun trying to peek through in this photo but he (the sun is a he and the moon is a she - right?) never really succeeded as the day progressed ... the clouds bearing snow won the day.

Urbex is not really my thing, but I have been wanting to shoot the IM Cooling Tower near Charleroi for quite a while, because its graphical nature appeals to me… The hard part is trying to come up with something original in a place that was so “overshot”. Hope I succeeded with this one…
Je ne suis pas trop urbex, mais cela faisait longtemps que je voulais photographier la tour de refroidissement IM près de Charleroi, parce que l’endroit très graphique me parle.

Cádiz Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Cádiz, southern Spain, and the seat of the Diocese of Cadiz y Ceuta. It was built between 1722 and 1838. The cathedral was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.
The Plaza de la Catedral houses both the Cathedral and the Baroque Santiago church, built in 1635.
The church was known as "The Cathedral of The Americas" because it was built with money from the trade between Spain and America. The 18th century was a golden age for Cádiz, and the other cathedral that the city had got, Santa Cruz, was very small for this new moment of Cádiz. The new cathedral was built from 1722 to 1838. The first person who designed the church was architect Vicente Acero, who had also built the Granada Cathedral. Acero left the project and was succeeded by several other architects. As a result, this largely baroque-style cathedral was built over a period of 116 years, and, due to this drawn-out period of construction, the cathedral underwent several major changes to its original design. Though the cathedral was originally intended to be a baroque edifice, it contains rococo elements, and was finally completed in the neoclassical style. Its chapels have many paintings and relics from the old cathedral and monasteries from throughout Spain.
In the crypt are buried the composer Manuel de Falla and the poet and playwright José María Pemán, both born in Cádiz.
Levante Tower, one of the towers of Cádiz Cathedral, is open to the public and shows panoramas of the city from on high.
From azstateparks.com:
Slide Rock State Park, originally the Pendley Homestead, is a 43-acre historic apple farm located in Oak Creek Canyon. Frank L. Pendley, having arrived in the canyon in 1907, formally acquired the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Due to his pioneering innovation, he succeeded where others failed by establishing a unique irrigation system still in use by the park today. This allowed Pendley to plant his first apple orchard in 1912, beginning the pattern of agricultural development that has dominated the site since that time. Pendley also grew garden produce and kept some livestock.
As one of the few homesteads left intact in the canyon today, Slide Rock State Park is a fine example of early agricultural development in Central Arizona. The site was also instrumental to the development of the tourism industry in Oak Creek Canyon. The completion of the canyon road in 1914 and the paving of the roadway in 1938 were strong influences in encouraging recreational use of the canyon. Hence, Pendley followed suit and in 1933, built rustic cabins to cater to vacationers and sightseers.
Todays visitors can still enjoy the fruits of Pendley's labor. Historic cabins are available for viewing, and the creek offers the park's namesake slide for adventures seekers and those looking for a place to cool off.

The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

What is special about the Dana nature reserve is that it has succeeded so well in getting people and nature to work together. Previously, Bedouin communities allowed their herds of goats and sheep to graze in the nature reserve, which was disastrous for the vegetation. To offer local people an alternative, a cooperative has been started that offers people work in tourism. But in a responsible way. Both nature and people benefit from this. Plant life is recovering, local residents earn a living and travelers can enjoy the beautiful nature.

Neatly folded and crumpled, it did not succeed in the 1st attempt ;-)
