after so many dull, grey, rainy and cold days, we finally get some sunny, cold days. Perfect weather for the peregrine falcon to hunt. In this case a feral pigeon, the main food source for peregrines at this site at the river Rhine in Cologne. I wonder if I can ever witness a peregrine's parakeet-hunt.
Following a very successful first try, House of Shade and FOXCITY are collaborating once more!
House of Shade's newest mainstore release is the BAE WINDOW Backdrop. It features a large window with a view, curtains and semi opaque blinds. The materials and bump maps are enabled. I hope it will inspire you to decorate :)
FOXCITY have prepared an inspired bento couples pose which is now available in both main stores and on the marketplace.

Mira and Nelli, not searching for the weekend
but for the first mouse they ever saw
(and finally successfully caught) in their lives.
TGIF !

After the robbery everyone retired to the beach house where certain members of the gang had a little too much coffee & decided to dance on the breakfast bar.
Someone also ate a massive donut!
I can't say the same thing about the photographer, since I forgot to reset the shutter speed on my camera and had a lot of blurry shots! (I'm surprised I got any in focus). The Red-tailed hawk flew across the road in front of me and caught a mouse or vole. It proceeded to devour its prey in all its bloody goriness. Those of you who hate that kind of shot will be happy to know they all came out blurry. It took less than a minute for the prey to be devoured.
Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.

In a friend's office, each time that they have a successful business, they ring the bell as a way to motivate their team.
I wish it sounds many times this year for him and every of you too.

Yesterday before we got to the lake there apparently were four Osprey being very successful catching fish one after another.Zero today but two fly overs
Most of the farms in this area family farms with a successful history. Several are Centennial Farms having been in the same family for over one hundred years.
A successful fighter of WW1, over 5,000 'Brisfits' were built.
Despite being a 2-seater, the Brisfit had the speed and manoeuvrability of a single seat fighter. The Lewis 0.303in machine gun, operated by the second crew member, is clearly visible in the picture.
An unusual design feature of the Bristol Fighter was the placement of the body of the aircraft midway between the two wings, instead of attached directly to the lower wing, as was usually the case with biplanes. This was intended to improve the field of fire for the observer.
The Shuttleworth Collection's Bristol F.2B Fighter was photographed at the Festival of Flight at Old Warden, June 2025.
Pilot Stu Goldspink, with his hand on the lever.
A Bristol Boxkite, designed in 1910, this replica was made in the mid-1960s for the movie 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'
I wonder how long it takes to check the tension on all those bracing cables.....
The Boxkite was a relatively successful 2-seat training aircraft of its day, with 87 being constructed in the years before WW1. It can achieve a dizzying speed of approx 40mph/64km/h.
It is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedford, England.

A successful hunt for this owl 2 days ago thought I would try and find it in a snow storm after seeing it the day before on a wire next to road was delighted to find it in an oak tree over the road and on a not busy dead end side road
After successfully crossing the Atlantic, we now find ourselves in New York, a true journey back in time.
Not only is this photo almost 30 years old, it also shows a view that is no longer possible today. I am standing here on the roof terrace of one of the two towers of the World Trade Center, which (as we all know) no longer exists.
Like the photos taken while diving (of which there will be more to come), this is also a scanned analogue photograph. In this case, it was taken with a low-end compact camera.
Nach erfolgreicher Ãœberquerung des Atlantiks befinden wir uns nun in New York und damit in einer echten Zeitreise.
Denn nicht nur ist dieses Foto bereits fast 30 Jahre alt, es ist auch ein Blick, der heute nicht mehr möglich ist. Ich stehe hier nämlich auf der Dachterasse eines der beiden Türme vom World Trade Center, welches (wie wir alle wissen) nicht mehr existiert.
Wie bei den Fotos, die beim Tauchen entstanden sind (von denen übrigens auch noch einige folgen werden), so handelt es sich auch hier um eine eingescannte anlagoge Fotografie. In diesem Fall aufgenommen mit einer Kompaktkamera aus dem unteren Preissegment.
After a successful day spent in the Iskar Gorge we took a night train from Sofia towards Povelyanovo.
When we arrived in Povelyanovo we hopped out of our sleeper coach towards the sitting coach which was now attached to our sleeper coach, after a stop of around 20 minutes the journey continued towards a little village named Valchi Dol, this is where we had planned our first photo of the day. When the train pulled into the station we had already opened the door as we had to run in order to catch the departure of our train. Though it seems like a short distance, it can be tricky, especially with suitcases, as the train departs almost immediately. Luckily, in our case the train had to wait for some elderly people to board the train.
At 07:52 AM BDZ 07 111 departs from Valchi Dol hauling the BV 2637 bound for Dobrich
Species: Milvus milvus.
Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland, UK.
This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes. It has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland.
Info: RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
A successful hunt...

Patience paid off for a great egret when it grabbed a fish and some salad from a marsh at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Ks.
"The 2nd Light Horse Regiment–Woombye Troop commemorate the 107th anniversary of the famous Beersheba mounted charge with their annual Beersheba Day Parade on Sunday, November 3rd. The event took place in the heart of Woombye, Qld, to honour the brave men and horses of the historic 1917 battle.
On October 31, 1917, as the sun set across the Negev Desert, the Australian Light Horse Divisions launched a successful mounted charge to secure the town of Beersheba. This crucial victory was a significant moment in the Sinai Palestine Campaign of World War I, showcasing the courage and endurance of the Light Horse regiments."
With the rumours of the potential demise of Flickr I have been giving some thought to where I might find another place like it ... and I don't have a good answer.
Flickr has been (and hopefully will remain) a place to share and to be inspired unlike any other place I have encountered in 'cyber-space.' Although I have been critical of many of the changes that have been made to the site over the years (and complementary to other changes) I have remained a steadfast participant on an almost daily basis for close to 10 years now. Why? It's simple really ... because of the people I have 'met' here. Many good and some great photographers yes .... but much more importantly many good and some truly great people who ... although we will likely never meet face-to-face ... have been an almost daily part of my life in a small but important way. Flickr managed somehow to successfully mimic a true community and achieved just about the right mix of intensity and casualness of interaction that allows a truly international and marvelously varied group of individuals with a common interest to connect in a very human and supportive way!
To all my Flickr friends (you know who you are) ... without Flickr as a connector we are in real danger of 'losing touch.' I promise I am not a sentimental (old) fool ... I might be rightly accused of being old but I doubt I have ever been tagged as 'sentimental.' I have thoroughly enjoyed our sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, and sometimes less often 'meetings' over the years and don't want to see it gone. The solution escapes me for the moment ... suggestions?
Please feel free to share this 'question' that I pose ... no doubt in the vast number of connections that we have collectively made there is someone with a bright idea. I hope the discussion goes viral and in-so-doing Flickr gets recognized as a worthy 'meeting place' that can be sustained and maybe even made profitable?

P.S. I don't think Facebook is the answer. :)
