A visually striking bird, the Great Tit is around 14 centimetres in length and weighs about 16 grams, this is more than most other tit species including the Willow Tit and Blue Tits.
The Great Tit has a bold black head, white cheeks with a black stripe running down their yellow belly and a white wing bar. Their body colour is primarily green and yellow.
Visually the aurora appeared shades of gray, but the colors were easily visible on camera (and iPhone) displays. Big Dipper is in the center of photo with Little Dipper to the right. Portland, Oregon OM20130
This is (yet another) shot from one of the most visually stunning shows that I have ever seen. It features two members of 'Kataklo', an athletic dance group from Italy, composed entirely of former Olympic gymnasts.
I became friendly with the show's producer (Angella Kwon) this year, having met (and become friendly with) her sister Boram (who currently studies at my old university in Stirling) last year. Both are South Korean and Angella was producing two South Korean shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe...and also Kataklo.
We were having lunch, the day before the last Kataklo show (I had only seen them perform on the Royal Mile) when Angella kindly invited me along and asked me to take photographs. I could not have taken this shot with my old camera. This (and several others like this) were taken at 3200 ISO, hand held with a shutter speed of 1/20th of a second (I just love image stabilisation) and relying on autofocus. I love my Canon EOS-5D!
Just to prove I know a number of talented people, my friend Ken Campbell has a progressive rock group called 'Crooked Mouth'. At the moment, he is preparing their second album ('Hold in the Sun') for release. I will be providing photographs for the CD, the idea being to produce a photo that represents each different song. However, one of these shots is a candidate for the CD cover. You can find out more about Crooked Mouth and hear some samples (and even order their first CD!) here: Crooked Mouth
You can find my other pics of this amazing group (Kataklo...not Crooked Mouth...not that Crooked Mouth aren't amazing in their own way!) in these locations:

"Derweil hat die Zukunft längst begonnen – und das rasant im Vergleich zum üblichen Tempo bei der Reaktivierung einer Industriebrache. Ende 2014 hatte Opel die Autoproduktion in Bochum beendet, im Spätsommer war die Lackiererei abgerissen, waren sämtliche Maschinen entfernt worden."
Visually eye-catching to me. That was what led me to photograph this before my sister told me the meaning of the Chinese writing. I can't remember it now.

By The Light of the Moon, a shot taken on the north Norfolk Coast after the sun had gone down. I was trying to capture the mood of the place and the isolation of the saltmarsh. I'm not sure if I've managed it or not but visually I like the image and it's mood.
This is the visually stunning Beauty Isle sim as seen through the virtual eyes of an AI simulator.

There's a time within the magic hour in witch I live, and it sees to be a my metaphor for my life. It only last 30 minutes but if you find that moment that visually gives you meaning you must act on your instincts, and hope it makes since to others. I’m always searching for purpose like a photo, and that takes me away from life’s made goals and I find a sense of peace in that moment. Money has never been my motivation in life, but people have. We all live are own movie and story but is it the one you want to make or the one you’re forced to. That 30 minutes of magic I have in a day is my peace of mind, and the rest is life is telling myself there’s is a true meaning the end of the road and it's not just a material goal, but find love in everyone's in imperfections.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a line of two-door, two-seater luxury sports cars, manufactured and marketed by GM, under the Chevrolet marque, since 1953
The Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the Corvette sports car produced by Chevrolet. It was introduced late in the 1953 model year and produced through 1962 This generation is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension did not appear until the 1963 Stingray.
Visually the 1957 model was unchanged. The V8 was increased to 283 cu in (4.6 L), fuel-injection became a very expensive option, and a 4-speed manual transmission became available after April 9, 1957. GM's Rochester subsidiary used a constant flow system, producing a listed 290 hp (216 kW) at 6200 rpm and 290 lb⋅ft (393 N⋅m) of torque at 4400 rpm. It was one of the first mass-produced engines to do so.
About the most visually impressive locomotive consist you could ask for, (maybe not so much if you’re not a fan of the Canadian Pacific or GE locomotives), a four unit set of freshly rebuilt AC4400CWM’s, the 8163, 8162, 8168 and 8173 lead a morning transfer from BNSF’s Argentine Yard to Kansas City Southern’s Knoche Yard in northeast Kansas City. April 3, 2021
Shown pulling north of the 25th Street crossing and negotiating Santa Fe Junction’s complex track arrangement the colorful locomotives stand out against the bleak early spring background along the West Side Rail Corridor in K.C.'s West Bottoms. Ahead lies a leisurely trip across town where the four sparkling GE’s and their train will reach home rails for the first time since their rebuilding.
Excerpt from heritageburlington.com:
Eye window and decorative bargeboard is visually balanced by the railing and gingerbread trim of the two-storey veranda. The one-and-a half-storey side-gabled wing, with a small centre gable and an L shaped single-storey verandah, is set back from the front.
This house is of particular importance in maintaining the remnants of the authentic character of Zimmerman Village. Its setting, facing the Bronte Creek (Twelve Mile Creek) valley, with rising land behind it, is enhanced by the established and newly planted specimen trees.
Built in 1869. It is a rare example of a full gable front with a double-level verandah, with exceptionally well-preserved design features: a shingled pediment with a bulls-eye window, and elaborately detailed bargeboard "gingerbread" decoration. The clapboard siding is also well preserved.
Visually indistinguishable from Western Wood Pewee, the two species are separated by geography and vocalization. Lake St. Clair.

Candid street photography captured one-handed under an umbrella in Glasgow, Scotland. Another shot that I, as a perfectionist, would consider to be technically imperfect but visually beautiful - art is never perfect to the artist perhaps. I do, however, love the resulting image and I hope that you do to. Enjoy and stay warm and dry!
Visually stunning art installation in Salisbury cathedral celebrating 50 years since the 1969 moon landings.

A rare pleasing angle on the otherwise "visually challenging" Cornerhouse building, in Nottingham at sunset.
The Cornerhouse is the major leisure complex in Nottingham, containing several high street food chains, a cinema, and an indoor golf course. Designed by Benoy, and managed by Wilson Bowden Developments, it looks very much like the love-child of a spaceship and a casino, with hints of art deco around the edges. It was built in 1998, on the former site of the Nottingham Post building, which had been more in keeping with the style of the Prudential Building. It stands between the Nottingham Theatre Royal & Concert Hall Complex and Trinity Square.

I've always been conflicted as to my feelings about Chinatowns, the hybrid nature of the environment throws me off in terms of how I want to capture it. Visually the space is very much like what I shoot when I'm back home in Hong Kong, it is dense, bright and textured. Yet the nature of the environment acts very much like the western city it is in, isolated, detached and common. It is exactly what it is, a recreation of one's natural habitat in a foreign land, a cultural theme park within a few city blocks.
Like a theme park, I find the familiar endearing and the differences absolutely annoying. Unable to accept the space for what it is, I complain about the things they aren't doing 'right', how it's done better back home, how this is just a mask of signs and lights thrown on to create an illusion of familiarity. I feel like a parent projecting their failures on to their children, how this space disappoints me as it doesn't live up to the standards I wish it can achieve.
When in fact, it is the fusion of the familiar with the odd that reminds me of the confused nature of my own identity. The ever difficult balancing act of assimilation into the culture of my adopted hometown, while desperately trying to hold onto whatever is left of my own. A visit to Chinatown reminds me of how futile my attempts are to remain Chinese while becoming American.
As I'm about to leave New York for another city, I've decided to confront this space, to stop trying to make it something it's not. To finally see it for what it is before trying to figure out another one. And in the process of understanding this hybrid space, maybe it'll allow myself to accept the fact that I've become what musically would be equivalent to a Canto Pop/Hip hop mashup. A set of opposing beats jammed together to form something that's confusing and fucked up, but has the potential to be quite interesting with some finessing.

Detail, Plaza Santa Cruz, Seville.................
Perhaps the visually most attractive area for exploring in Seville is the Barrio Santa Cruz with its narrow cobbled alleys and whitewashed houses --- flower-bedecked patios, iron-grilled window boxes, colourful accents and surprise little piazzas. Much of this used to be the Jewish quarter and is now regarded as the aristocratic corner of town. Picturesque to prettiness. Human scale and constant visual delights, though to some the Spanish don't always know when to stop. I particularly enjoyed their use of golden ochre to pick up the wonderful bunches of oranges at this time of year. Again and again, sneaked through embellished doors, are cool marble and greenery inner courts, top-lit and often with flowing arcading.
Then a delightful departure from Spain.

For me, the T3 Volkswagen Transporter is visually a great piece of industrial design. The obvious DNA from its classic split-screen and bay-window predecessors is there and so is the link to the newer era front drive design language of the Golf, Polo and Passat.
One could question the perseverance with an air-cooled, then water-cooled rear mounted boxer engine, but I kind of like that too.
I’ve kept things simple and true to the original, with an early air-cooled panel van, hence the lack of lower grille. The build looks simple, right? It’s a bit more complicated than you may think, getting subtle offsets and details into a boxy body is tricky.
I also found a use for the 1x1 black plates with one red printed side - helps with that headlamp area.
St. Ives is a visually stunning museum town. A shell of second homes and holiday lets. Restaurants, bars, galleries and clothing stores dominate the town, each one squeezed into a converted building whose original use has been long obfuscated.
There is a seemingly active art scene with many studio spaces still in existence around town. There is a TATE where the gasometer used to be (the architecture of the TATE pays homage to said gasometer, but not very well), the St. Ives Arts Club soldiers on, and of course Barbara Hepworth is everywhere.
Residents tend to live up the hill or in Carbis Bay or elsewhere nearby, their families having long ago sold the original family homes and businesses to out of towners and developers.
At this time of year, especially mid-week at night, the strange population mix and empty houses gives St. Ives a forlorn feeling.
However, despite all of this St. Ives somehow manages to remain a welcoming and easy place to be outside of the summer months and school half terms. And it is very pretty.
Visually the most stunning dinner I have ever had was at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. We dined in the Centre Hall under the magnificent ceiling and between courses we had time to visit the amazing exhibition.
Gomphrena globosa, commonly known as "globe amaranth", is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae.
The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous.
The orange-leaved flower seen on the same bouquet is a Crossandra Infundibuliformis, commonly known as firecracker flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to southern India and Sri Lanka. It is most often found in south Indian region Tamilnadu and Kerala. (Source: Wikipedia)

GOMPHRENA GLOBOSA, 2023
Gomphrena globosa, comúnmente conocida como "amaranto globo", es una planta comestible de la familia Amaranthaceae.
Las inflorescencias de flores de forma redonda son una característica visualmente dominante y los cultivares se han propagado para exhibir tonos de magenta, púrpura, rojo, naranja, blanco, rosa y lila. Dentro de los capullos, las verdaderas flores son pequeñas y discretas.
La flor de hojas de color naranja que se ven en el mismo ramito es una Crossandra Infundibuliformis, que es una especie de planta con flores de la familia Acanthaceae, nativa del sur de la India y Sri Lanka.

Another visually tempting light and glass display in the Atlantis casino. I really think this is an artistic representation of the Earth.
Gonna be honest, I love these games. Well the first two, anyways. The Third, while visually stunning, just didn't grab me the way the first two did.
For those of you not in the know, Pikmin is about a tiny explorer named Olimar whose ship, The Dolphin, is hit by an asteroid while on holiday. His ship crash lands on a strange, earth-like planet, where he befriends a race of small red, yellow, and blue plant like creatures called Pikmin. The Pikmin help Olimar battle monsters and regain the parts to his ship so he can return home.
The sequel follows Olimar and his co-worker Louie, who are sent back to the planet by their employer to collect treasure and save their bankrupt company. They do so once again with the help of the Pikmin.
Also yeah, Olimar and his Pikmin are playable in some of the Smash Bros games. In fact he's the only character I'm good at. Heh.
Now the figs themselves: The Pikmin is made of a Lego baby, whom I painted red, glued a cut red tooth/spike to his face, and a cut flower to his head. I now want more babies so I can make more Pikmin.
Olimar is not completely accurate, but I think works well enough. His head is a Star Wars head and his torso is the reverse side of a 2011 Dino torso.
I hope down the line to be able to make some more Pikmin, Louie, and maybe even figure out a Bulborb. Until then though, lemme know what you think!

72.1 lb. (32.2kg) Sericho with a 15 x 14” face. Pallasites are the most visually stunning meteorites IMHO.
When the planets of our solar system aggregated from the primordial dust and ice swirling in a disc around the sun, some crazy things happened. We are used to the relatively stable result, 4.6 billion years later, but in the early days, some planetoids collided cataclysmically; others were flung out of our solar system entirely, to the lifeless void of deep space.
These dense iron meteorites contain the molten metal cores of some planetary body that ended in a mighty kaboom. We know it was big because a molten iron core appears when a planetoid is big enough to have enough gravity to fractionate the elements of the periodic table, with the heavier iron-loving elements migrating to the core and a different subset of the periodic table (e.g., Si, Al, Ca, Na, Mg) constituting the outer mantle and crust. We have never drilled to the molten core of Earth, or even deep into our mantle, but these remnants of planets past are representative of what we would expect to find in the Earth’s core and mantle.
Pallasites are an incredible potpourri of shattered mantle in a dollop of molten metal core. They can only form in space where the absence of gravity allows the lighter gemstones to remain scattered throughout the heavy metal matrix (on Earth, they would segregate by density). Those crystal gems are olivine (and perhaps some peridot as we call it on Earth).
If we were to etch the metal with a weak acid (exposing the anisotropic crystalline patterns), we would see something beautiful, an interwoven 3D nest of interlocking shards, a metal crystallization that also could not be made on Earth, but for a different reason: they have to cool very, very slowly, over 10 million years! In the insulating vacuum of space, the motel metal cools slowly as it radiates heat (no conduction or convection).
If this all sounds like a rare event, it is. 2% of meteorites in the Met Bull are irons, and only 0.2% are Pallasites.
When an iron meteorite is forged into a tool or weapon, the extraterrestrial crystal patterns remain, but become stretched and distorted. The patterns usually cannot be fully eliminated by blacksmithing, even through extensive working. When a knife or tool is forged from meteoric iron and then polished, the patterns appear in the surface of the metal. In ancient times before the invention of steel, these iron-nickel alloys were like advanced alien technology, and probably were the origin of folkloric beliefs about magic swords and vorpal blades. Even King Tut was buried with his meteorite dagger.
There is much going on in this Sericho Pallasite — a meteoritic medley. Transluscent olivine gems across the color spectrum. And the metal matrix has large chromite inclusions (grey).
Based on isotope analysis at ETH Zürich, this meteorite spent the last 130-160 million years free floating in space before intersecting Earth's orbit.
More updates to DC characters I've tackled before - Mongul, Vibe, Black Lightning, and Frankenstein. Oh, and plus JOHN FREAKING STEWART!!!
The scourge of Xanshi has to be one of the best superhero minifigures Lego's ever released. Even though he doesn't have dual-molded legs, his printing is all-around exceptional and very visually appealing. While I'm really happy with the new combos for Mongul and Frankenstein, I still feel like Vibe needs a splash of yellow on his torso to really elevate his accuracy to the next level. Oh well.
Black Lightning features more color-accurate arms, and Vibe came about from necessity when I swapped out his old head for Rebirth Roy.
Check out my secondary photostream (tagged below) for a failed Mongul concept!
Visually similar to Yellow-bellied Sapsucker of the East, this woodpecker was long considered a subspecies thereof and split only in 1998. Strawberry Butte.
The most visually striking feature on Saturn’s icy moon Tethys is Odysseus crater. An enormous impact created the crater, which is about 280 miles (450 kilometers) across, with its ring of steep cliffs and the mountains that rise at its center. Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across). In this image, north on Tethys is up.
This view is a composite of several images taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 17, 2015, at a distance of about 28,000 miles (44,500 kilometers) from Tethys.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Completing a sizeable, yet visually stunning ship is a dream come true for any aspiring MOC designer. Not many builders however, decide to sail in the reverse direction and construct a petite, yet equally impressive vessel.
Enter Vanestream, a versatile builder who's talent knows no bounds as he stealthily leaps from land-based builds to ships and back, all while typing an award winning screenplay and crafting the necessary props for his stop-and-go pirate animation series Being Pirates.

Wong Tai Sin, a fairly new temple built in 1973, is nestled on hilly ground. Definitely a popular destination, by 8AM, it already was crawling with tourists who come in by busloads. Brightly painted, heavily tiled and ornately decorated, it is visually attractive. There is also no paucity of photo ops if you are into incense shots.

I am someone who likes to plan everything, so this December self-portrait a day that I have imposed on myself is a stretch because not everything can always be planned. Yesterday I brought home dirt from the forest with the intent of shooting something in my bedroom away from the cold for a day, but when I woke up I needed to create something very visually different. I rushed to the store, got some candles, played with layering delicate fabric, set off a smoke bomb, and fumbled around until I got this.
This early arriving Hummer is one of several males that are fighting over control of the nectar feeder just below. They now compete with breath-taking high-speed aerial sky dives to impress the feeding females and get their attention (for breeding... although this year's young are already flying). This flight action is both visually and audibly impressive! It's still very early morning, and the sunlight is heavily filtered by the tall forest growth to the east. Although I have the sun at my back, the gorgets will not display full red iridescence until it gets a little brighter. In this shot you can get only a hint of the vibrant wine-red color to come with later more intense sunlight! This dazzling display is then based more on iridescence than pigment colors... but the sun angle has to be correct. The experienced males know how to precisely position themselves relative to sun angle to awe the ladies.

It's quite embarrasing to admit that I have visually cut off of the tops of the cupolas in the admirable Dormition Cathedral in the Pechersk Lavra in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, obviously one the world's greatest cities!
Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра, Kyievo-Pechers’ka lavra), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev, Ukraine. Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1015 the Lavra has been a preeminent center of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery complex is considered a separate national historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was granted on March 13, 1996. The Lavra also not only located in another part of the city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint-Sophia Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is currently active. It was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on August 21, 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet community.
Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

Here's a photo that I took a while back... on an early morning walk along the Jubilee Creek trail... at the third (and final) river crossing before reaching the waterfall.
A scene like this is impossible to accurately capture with only one photograph. It's an exposure-nightmare! When I set my camera's exposure to not blow-out the bright highlights on the water... then most of the rest of the photo came out completely black. And when I set the exposure to capture the details in the darkest shadows... then all the highlights were completely white. I actually ended up blending three differently exposed photos together to create this final image... one exposed for the shadows, one exposed for the sky... and a final image to capture that bright highlight in the water. Capturing the photos was easy enough... blending them together afterwards in Photoshop in a realistic manner took most of the time and effort.
The main reason why I never bothered to process this image (till now)... was because it seemed like too much effort for a scene that isn't very remarkable and/or visually exciting. Although none of the photos that I captured here that morning looked appealing to me when viewed on their own... I do remember feeling quite excited about the composition and the nice soft backlighting (particularly on the hanging moss)... which was what made me decide to finally make the effort and edit the image.
I'll admit that it's not one of my better forest photos... but I do like how this one came out in the end.
Visually, the feet are the most interesting thing about this water bird.

Peripheral vision loss (tunnel vision):
Peripheral vision problems mean that you don't have a normal, wide-angle field of vision, even though your central vision may be fine.
Moderate and severe cases of peripheral vision loss create the sensation of seeing through a narrow tube, a condition commonly referred to as "tunnel vision."
Symptoms of peripheral vision loss also can include difficulty seeing in dim light and decreased ability to navigate while you are walking.
If you have a sudden decrease in peripheral vision, see your optican or doctor immediately. Sudden loss of peripheral vision may indicate a detached retina, which is a medical emergency that must be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent vision loss.
The Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB) website tells me that 93% of people who are registered blind or partially sighted in the UK retain some useful vision. So why isn’t there better understanding of visual impairment? Is it because it is easier for sight-loss charities to raise money if they present a more simplistic, pitiable image of blindness? Or is it because it is thought too complex an issue to explain?
Blindness is not binary. It is a full and varied spectrum. Visually impaired people come in many different variations. Some have central vision but no periphery. Some have periphery but no central. Some see the world through a window stained with blobs. For others, it is all a blur. Just give us a fair chance and a little space, we will probably just quietly get in your way on staircases.
