another view of the thousands birds that took off all together and started flying .... it was like seeing a wave in the air... after few minutes they just landed back in the water ... what impressed me the most was the sound!!
O relógio situado na contrafachada da Catedral de Santa Maria del Fiore, em Florença, é uma notável peça de arte e engenharia renascentista, datada de 1443 e criada por Paolo Uccello. A sua singularidade reside no mostrador de 24 horas, com algarismos romanos dispostos no sentido anti-horário, e na utilização da "Hora Itálica", um sistema que iniciava o dia ao pôr do sol. Esta característica obriga a ajustes manuais para sincronizar o relógio com as variações solares. Os quatro cantos do mostrador exibem representações dos evangelistas, enquanto painéis inferiores com cenas sacras e anjos músicos reforçam a dimensão devocional. Restaurado na década de 1970, este relógio mantém-se funcional, testemunhando a transição entre a engenharia medieval e o Renascimento florentino, integrando-se harmoniosamente na arquitetura da catedral e refletindo a importância do tempo na liturgia e na vida quotidiana da época.
The clock on the rear facade of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence is a remarkable piece of Renaissance art and engineering, dating back to 1443 and created by Paolo Uccello. Its uniqueness lies in its 24-hour dial, with Roman numerals arranged counterclockwise, and in its use of “Italic Time,” a system that began the day at sunset. This feature requires manual adjustments to synchronize the clock with solar variations. The four corners of the dial display representations of the evangelists, while lower panels with sacred scenes and angel musicians reinforce the devotional dimension. Restored in the 1970s, this clock remains functional, bearing witness to the transition between medieval engineering and the Florentine Renaissance, blending harmoniously into the cathedral's architecture and reflecting the importance of time in the liturgy and daily life of the period.

I've been curious lately about the way shorebirds synchronize their flight in groups. These American Avocets aren't as agile as many smaller birds, but they can still fly very closely together and turn on a dime. The two birds in this photo were part of a larger formation. One of the birds has rotated its body to change the direction of its flight. The other bird will quickly follow. How do they do this in large groups? If they behave like some other birds in flight, each individual is watching several other nearby individuals. When one bird starts a maneuver, neighboring birds quickly follow in a wave. Here's an article that describes the behavior:
