Within the former German-Soviet Environmental Agreement in the years 1989-1991 3 biological expeditions to the Taymyr peninsula in northernmost Siberia were performed. They laid the ground for the establishment (1993) of the Great Arctic Reserve (Zapovednik). The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.

Standing in front of the Martin Luther King Memorial with about 45 other people, this was the sunrise I was presented and captured for your viewing pleasure. More Tidal Basin/Cherry Blossom pictures to come as I find time to process them. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, I did, as well as a very tiring weekend

Yesterday I met Dave, Flickr contact of the first hour. We did a photowalk in the Rotterdam Area. We started in Delfshaven, then to the Maasvlakte and finally we ended at the Landtong in Rozenburg. At this spot you can watch the big seaships and ferrys leaving the port of Rotterdam. Here we where spectators of a most beautiful sunset.
Dave, many thanx for spending some great hours together. It was nice to meet a guy like you, who is so passioned about photography.

The beautiful Tidal River, on Wilson's Prom in Victoria, Australia. Spent the weekend camping next to the river, and it is a truly special place to visit...
The Weir's purpose is to stabilise the upstream banking, by maintaining a fixed water level, creating a deep, wide channel of water through the Green. Downstream of the Weir is entirely tidal, alternating between fresh and sea water.
The change from fresh water to salt water within river estuaries usually happens gradually over a number of miles. The Weir creates an unnatural situation: two distinct ecosystems separated by a barrier. This mix provides an important habitat for a range of birds, fish and mammals.
