Taipei Botanical Garden (台北植物園), Taipei, Taiwan
During a short visit to Taiwan, I was pleasantly surprised to see this lone male at Taipei Botanical Garden. This species is rarely seen at sea level. Its natural habitat is at higher altitudes. As can be imagined, its sighting attracted hundreds of birders to the Garden. It also invoked territorial aggression from another lone male of a different species, White-rumped Shama, also rarely seen and shown in the previous picture. With both birds liking the same tree, the Vivid Niltava was often chased away by the White-rumped Shama and only returned to feed when the latter was elsewhere.

This is the same lone male shown two pictures ago, ths time with his back facing the camera. This bird is of a sub-species, Niltava vivida, that is endemic to Taiwan.

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.
Rapeseed fields certainly bring very vivid colour to the countryside and on an unseen level, it attracts a lot of activity in the insect, pollinator's world.

Thank you very much for your visits, comments and faves!
HSoS!
We gotta live with the choices we make
But if we get it wrong, we can't blame no one
When it's your sanity that's at stake
Please don't lose your light, you'll lose your mind
We got flaws in all of us
But that's what makes us glorious
Time goes by in front of us
So let's just make it glorious

For this topic, I chose tiny glass bottles (18mm high in total and 9 mm wide) that I filled with water colored with food coloring. Unfortunately, the bottle necks are so narrow that I had to fill them with a syringe several times until the mixtures were right, which resulted in my sink looking like a nuclear explosion had taken place!😉
Für dieses Thema habe ich winzig kleine Glasfläschchen (18mm hoch total und 9 mm weit) gewählt, die ich mit Lebensmittelfarbe gefärbtem Wasser gefüllt habe. Leider sind die Flaschenhälse so eng, dass ich sie mit einer Spritze befüllen musste, und das mehrmals bis die Mischungen stimmten, was dazu führte, dass mein Spülbecken anschliessend aussah als ob eine nukleare Explosion stattgefunden hätte!😉
