The Thousand Islands constitute a North American archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddles the Canada–US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 80 km downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario and the U.S. islands in the state of New York.
The islands range in size from over 100 km2 to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.
Las Mil Islas constituyen un archipiélago norteamericano de 1.864 islas que se extienden a ambos lados de la frontera entre Canadá y Estados Unidos en el río San Lorenzo, cuando emerge del extremo noreste del lago Ontario. Se extienden unos 80 km río abajo desde Kingston, Ontario. Las islas canadienses están en la provincia de Ontario y las islas estadounidenses en el estado de Nueva York.
El tamaño de las islas varía desde más de 100 km2 hasta islas más pequeñas ocupadas por una sola residencia o afloramientos de rocas deshabitados. Para ser consideradas como una de las Mil Islas, el terreno emergente dentro del canal del río debe tener al menos un pie cuadrado (0,093 m2) de tierra por encima del nivel del agua durante todo el año y sustentar al menos dos árboles vivos.
All night my heart makes its way
however it can over the rough ground
of uncertainties, but only until night
meets and then is overwhelmed by
morning, the light deepening, the
wind easing and just waiting, as I
too wait ( and when have I ever been
disappointed?) for redbird to sing.

Non scrivete più buon anno nuovo o happy new year, immagino che molti di voi avranno già la tendinite e qualche maschio anche la orchite scrivendo migliaia di volte gli auguri per il 2025
Don't write happy new year anymore, I imagine that many of you will already have tendonitis (some males even orchitis) by writing thousands of wishes for 2025.

The towns featured here, Norcia and Castelluccio, suffered a major earthquake on 30 October 2016. It was heartbreaking to learn that the damage to both was extensive, and unfortunately their appearance today is rather different from what is seen in these photographs. Though thankfully there was a limited number of victims, there are still tens of thousands of displaced families and I would like to pay tribute to the amazing work of the Emergency Services and the Italian Red Cross. I would also like to invite all of those who, like me, have enjoyed the cultural and natural wonders of Italy to also take this opportunity to give something back, and make a donation to the Italian Red Cross on www.cri.it/terremoto-centro-italia
Thank you for your generosity.
One thousand people are estimated to have died in the Mediterranean Sea during the days of Hurricane Harry. They were desperate, people searching for hope. Their deaths have passed almost unnoticed by the media. We have grown so accustomed to this tragedy that we barely pause to acknowledge it. One thousand lives vanished into the silence of our society.
Si stima che mille persone siano morte nel Mar Mediterraneo durante i giorni dell’uragano Harry. Erano persone disperate, in cerca di speranza. Le loro morti sono passate quasi inosservate dai media. Ci siamo talmente abituati a questa tragedia che ormai non ci fermiamo più a riflettere. Mille vite sono svanite nel silenzio della nostra società.
Just before the start of the Honda Celebration of Lights fireworks presented by India. The crowds packed the beaches swelling to the tens of thousands. This was an awesome experience and one of my favourite events during the summer.
...about peace and freedom for myself... maybe a ray of hope...

Have a calm and cosy evening...
We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air
Ten thousand fists in the air
Ten thousand fists in the air

Wonderful to watch Case Maclaim (aka German artist Andreas Chrzanowski) putting the final touches to his amazing piece this evening for Nuart Aberdeen. He uses the medium of spray paint to “embrace the power of movement through the universality of hands. Having travelled to over 20 countries, Case has literally left his fingerprints in each, continually leaving bits and pieces of a language understood by all - after all a hand gesture can tell a thousand words.”
Thousands of these ducks stop over in Oregon during the month of March. Even though they are skittish you can tell that they know hunting season has ended.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 45701

Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis is endemic to Arabia, found nowhere else across the globe apart from the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea.
Socotra cormorant is among the most skilled fish-catching birds in Bahrain and Arabian Gulf. It dives more than 10 m chasing fish underwater.
The nesting colony of Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis on Hawar Island, south of Bahrain, is among the largest in the world. As the case with other cormorant species, nesting colonies of Socotra cormorant fluctuate widely in size over time.
Socotra cormorant lays eggs in small depressions in the ground with thousands of dense nests forming sizable breeding colonies. As such, heavy rain and cold winter temperatures often lead to mass mortality of eggs and chicks.
Seagulls are among key predators of Socotra cormorant Phalacrocorax nigrogularis on Hawar Islands. Despite continuous protection by parents, gulls succeed to prey on cormorant’s eggs and young chicks.

From Wikipedia:
Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum was Zaha Hadid's first residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the final projects designed by Hadid in her lifetime. It was designed in association with O’Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, a local architecture firm.
A notable feature of the building is the curving exoskeleton, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. The exoskeleton is composed of 5,000 pieces of glass fiber reinforced concrete. These pieces were shipped from Dubai early in the construction process. The exoskeleton is located in front of a glass facade.
Excerpt from www.niagarafallstourism.com:
Cham Shan Temple (Ten Thousand Buddas)- The 7 level Asian style building contains precious collections of Buddhist arts and artifacts. A "World Peace Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple" has been constructed on 3 acres of land in Niagara Falls in order to facilitate the expounding of Dharma and the propagation of Buddhism. Spreading the Dharma and benefitting all sentiment beings are the Buddhist Order's vows. Since the appearances of statues and stupas facilitate the generation of the Bodhi-mind, raising temples could benefit sentient beings in countless multitudes. Canada is renowned for its serene and picturesque environment. A Bronze Buddha Statue and a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's statue are situated in this property so numerous tourists and devotees can cherish this great chance to make offerings and pay homage to the Buddha.
This is a strange one! The tree is very large and tall but the flowers all hang from stems 10 feet or so from the ground so it feels like they are growing on a vine attached to the tree rather than the tree itself! These are called cauliflorous... flowers that grow from the trunk.
In the rainforests of South American, fruits of the Cannonball tree sway and clash in the wind, creating loud noises like artillery fire! These fruits really do resemble big, rusty cannonballs as they hang in clusters on the side of the tree attached to rope like tangles that emerge directly from the trunk.
The Cannonball tree’s beautifully complex and fragrant flowers resemble huge orchids. At night the flowers become particularly pungent in order to attract swift-flying pollinators. This particular Cannonball tree was collected in 1913 at Jamaica’s Hope Gardens and has flourished at Fairchild since it was planted here in 1938."
Couroupita guianensis, whose common names include Ayahuma and the Cannonball Tree, is an evergreen tree allied to the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa), and is native to tropical northern South America and to the southern Caribbean. In India it has been growing for the past two or three thousand years at least, as attested by textual records; hence it is possible that it is native to India also. It's part of the family Lecythidaceae and grows up to 25m (82ft) in height. The "Cannonball Tree" is so called because of its brown cannon-ball-like fruits. The majority of these trees outside their natural environment have been planted as a botanical curiosity, as they grow very large, distinctive flowers. Its flowers are orange, scarlet and pink in color, and form large bunches measuring up to 3m in length. They produce large spherical and woody fruits ranging from 15 to 24cm in diameter, containing up to 200 or 300 seeds apiece.
