It was rather windy yesterday (although not as much as today) and wet and dull too! Managed to snap this vole (in the wind...!) as he popped out to find morsels under the feeders at Venus Pool - Shropshire
Essaouira est communément surnommée la "cité du vent", la "cité des alizés" ou encore la "Saint-Malo marocaine".
Située sur le littoral atlantique, la ville d'Essaouira se trouve à 173 km au nord d'Agadir, à 174 km à l'ouest de Marrakech et à 406 km au sud-ouest de Casablanca[. Elle est le chef-lieu éponyme de la province d'Essaouira, au sein de la région de Marrakech-Safi. La ville est délimitée au sud et à l'est par la commune de Sidi Kaouki, au nord par la commune de Lagdadra, à l'est par la commune de Aït Saïd et à l'ouest par l'océan Atlantique.
Essaouira se trouve dans une baie de 5 km grâce à une incurvation au sud, tandis que le littoral nord est rectiligne, formant un cap. Son synclinal, qui fait partie du bassin d'Essaouira, est positionné sur une zone de faible altitude. Son relief se compose d'une série de plateaux étagés où il faut s'enfoncer à 25 km pour pouvoir atteindre les 300 m. Ces plateaux sont orientés parallèlement au littoral suivant une direction méridienne. Le plateau d'Essaouira est limité au nord par le plateau d'Akermoud et au sud par le plateau des Ida Ou Groud. Plusieurs collines couvertes d'arganiers se trouvent à proximité de la ville.
À l'est de la ville, un massif dunaire s'est accumulé entre la ville et le talus ouljien, avec une très faible altitude, de 25 à 45 m. Le Moghrébien est la formation plio-pléistocène la plus développée, qui se compose de cinq systèmes dunaires. Elles mettent en jeu le facteur éolien et sont issues de la dynamique marine. Les systèmes maarifien, ouljien et pléistocène supérieur sont édifiés lors de phases climatiques tandis que les systèmes historique et actuel semblent consécutifs à l'anthropisation.
La storia italiana dell'automobile, ricchissima e variegatissima, è stata spenta da molti anni, senza la minima volontà di salvaguardare uno dei contesti che in passato aveva maggiormente onorato l'Italia nel mondo. La Giulia prodotta dalla mitica Alfa Romeo era molto più di un'automobile. L'aveva disegnata il vento e aveva popolato indisturbata i sogni di automobilisti innamorati della sua avvenenza. Questo modello è esposto nel bellissimo museo dell'Alfa Romeo di Arese (Milano), insieme a moltissimi altri, figli di un marchio inimitabile e indimenticabile.
I finally got a presentable photo of one of the Red-vented Bulbuls that lives in the Heights earlier this week. I know they are introduced and have been told that they are an invasive species but it was still neat to see this bird. It would be neat to go to India to see one in its native habitat but Houston will have to do for now.

Pycnonotus cafer
The Paternoster Vents, sometimes known as the “Angel's Wings”, is an outdoor 2002 stainless steel sculpture on the west side of the Paternoster Square development in London.
As well as being impressive as a piece of sculptural art, it was designed as ventilation for an underground electrical substation. with four electricity transformers under Bishop’s Court on the west side of the development.
Thomas Heatherwick's design reduces the physical mass of the structure as originally conceived, with metal grilles integrated into the paving allow ingress of cool air, with warm air flowing out through the two tall vents which form wings that mirror each other.
Each wing comprises 63 isosceles triangles of stainless steel about 6 mm (0.24 in) thick that stands about 11 m (36 ft) high. The design was inspired by origami experiments from folding pieces of A4 paper.

This White-vented Plumeleteer was at the Jardin Encantado in the small town of San Francisco, not far west of Bogota. This image shows the brilliant green underparts in bright light (with the white vent out-of-focus). This is a large species of Hummingbird, with an average length of some 12 cm (over 4.5 in).

A member of the Bulbul family of passerines, it is a resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent. The bird has been introduced in many other parts of the world and has established itself in New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga and Fiji, as well as parts of Samoa, Australia, USA and Cook Islands. The Red-vented Bulbul is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.

I've been MIA for the past 5 or 6 months, but hopefully I'll be making somewhat of a return here in the near future. Work has been crazy, and life has definitely changed having a little one.
I'm really trying to figure out making some time though for photography so I can maintain my sanity.
Ti manderò un bacio
con il vento
e so che lo sentirai,
ti volterai senza vedermi,
ma io sarò lì.....

Narcisi a Pian della Cavalla , Liguria
With the wind...
I will send you a kiss
with the wind
And I know you will feel it,
you will turn without seeing me,
but I will be there.....

The Steely-vented Hummingbird (Saucerottia saucerottei) is a dazzling emblem of Colombia’s vibrant biodiversity, and this particular image was captured at La Minga Ecolodge, nestled in the foothills near Cali, Colombia. This male was perched on a slender branch, displaying its radiant metallic green plumage that shimmered in the soft natural light. The delicate contrast between the bird’s vivid colors and the muted greens of the background highlights its beauty while maintaining a sense of harmony with its forested surroundings.
To achieve this shot, I used a Canon R5 and a 100-500mm lens at 500mm, relying on the camera’s advanced stabilization to maintain sharpness at a slow shutter speed of 1/90 second. ISO 400 was selected to balance clarity and light sensitivity, ensuring a virtually noise-free result while preserving intricate feather details. The narrow aperture provided just enough depth to isolate the bird from its lush environment. This moment, shared with birding guide Asherita Viajera, underscores the importance of patience and preparation in wildlife photography. Capturing this fleeting yet perfect pose was a rewarding reminder of why I pursue this craft.
