IF you had difficulties finding this photo, and my other recent ones, it is because Flickr's Activity Feed is not functioning for many of us. They are aware of the problem and say they are working to fix it. In the meantime please stop by to check on my status. Thank you.

This is a pasture electric fence insulator, waiting to do its job. I liked the compositional contrast between this little piece of tech and the soft-bokeh rendering of the pasture.

NB - This looks like a closeup, but it was shot from several meters away. The high f-stop used (f/14) kept all of the insulator in sharp focus while the long focal length (405mm FFE) produced the soft-bokeh background.

Location: Moostal (Moss Valley) Riehen BS Switzerland.

When I saw this chap he was struggling to get a wire off from round his leg. He tried to run away but seemed to be in pain standing on his leg but not wanting to fly. I thought of the David Attenborough films showing the damage such wire is doing to nature and our environment. ........ I know, he's just a seagull!!

Being wired for a lightshow is not the best look for a train! 73156 leaving Loughborough with the empty stock to pick up families at Quorn.

But never mind, the sound more than made up for the disfigurement!

I will have no internet access again this weekend so Flickr will be taking a back seat again. I'll catch up when I can.

Gathering up like extras in Alfred Hitchcocks "The Birds" these crows were taking roost on the wires as the sun was setting in the west. I just liked this more unusual landscape - just for a change of scene :)

I'm hoping this goose feather blew onto the barbed wire rather than it flew too low... ouch!

The wire-tailed swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family.

This bird is found in open country near water and human habitation. Wire-tailed swallows are fast flyers and they generally feed on insects, especially flies, while airborne. They are typically seen low over water, with which they are more closely associated than most swallows.

The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges. The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.

The barbed wire divides the observer from the background exactly as the camera focus point does.
