Life without friends is like tree without leaves. You look cool in one season but boring the rest of the time.

Stilpnia heinei
(Black-capped Tanager / Tangara capirotada)
Juvenile males show a kaleidoscope of colours: Yellow-green as the females and blue tones as adult males.
Black-capped Tanagers are vividly-colored tropical birds that occur in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. They often occur in pairs foraging in bushes and trees for insects and fruit.
It is one of the few species in the genus that shows obvious sexual dichromatism, with males primarily gray-blue in color with a distinctive black cap, and females yellow-green without a black cap.

La mezquita Azul o mezquita del Sultán Ahmed (en turco: Sultan Ahmet Camii) es una de las grandes mezquitas de Estambul, obra de Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la Gran Mezquita de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un jardín, y fue la única de la ciudad con seis alminares hasta la construcción de la mezquita de Çamlıca, inaugurada en 2016.
En Latín significaba "la casa de la luna" y tardó 4 años desde que mandaron construirla hasta que se empezó a construir, ya que en aquella época había una gran crisis económica y no disponían del dinero para construirla.
Su magnífico exterior es acorde con su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Iznik logra una atmósfera muy especial.

* These Beech trees looked rather splendid last week in Duncombe Park . While the colours in England do not compare with the amazing Autumn display in New England they are still a lovely sight
Duncombe Park is on the edge of the town of Helmsley in North Yorkshire

The walls of the Baroque cathedral St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta, are something quite extra. The church was first built 1573-78, after a design by Girolamo Cassar, born in Malta, but got its current looks in the century after. It was the main church of worship for the knights of St John (who dominated the island in the 17th and 18th centuries).
If you are wondering what a co-cathedral is, that is what you get when you are in a diocese that already has a cathedral (in Mdina), but thinks another church is just as a grand and important (if not more so). So the bishop can use it as an alternative cathedral. This solution dates to 1820s, when the knights had left. Initially the cathedral was called Chiesa Conventuale di San Giovanni Battista (yes, it had an Italian name - in English that is Conventual Church of St. John)
Without the 1970’s GM iron inconveniently parked in sight of this vantage point, this could easily have been a scene from the 1950’s in rural southern Virginia. In fact, Norfolk & Western 2-6-6-4 1218 is leading an Alexandria – Front Royal excursion on the Southern at Rectortown, Virginia.

What would be do without good eye sight? I have one surgery done to remove cataract and one more on March 2nd. All is going well but I am looking forward to resume my fitness. I hope you are well. I took this photo last year in Vancouver near Parc Stanley. I think this section of a mural is not part of the VMF.
Une partie de murale vue en janvier 2022. J'ai eu ma première chirurgie pour une cataracte dans l'oeil droit et j'aurais la même chirurgie pour l'oeil gauche le 2 mars. Tout se passe bien mais je dois faire moins de fitness pendant quelques temps. Bonne semaine à tous.
Would prefer it without the peanut taken at Barons Haugh I did get it in-flight but twigs over it's face sigh...bit overexposed on whites too but thought would just post it. :-))
Thanks for stopping by.
pure monotony ...
Monotonie ist nich Ideal, sie gibt's aber auch in der Südsee, Ideal, ist auch Berlin, Deutsche Welle in die Südsee ;-) ??? ...
Monotonie in der Südsee
Melancholie bei 30 Grad.
Monotonie unter Palmen
Campari auf Tahiti, Bitter Lemon auf Hawaii.
Ich flieg' nach Hawaii, und wir sind dabei.
Ich flieg' nach Tel Aviv zum Minimaltarif.
Ich fahr' nach Eschnapur, dem Tiger auf der Spur.
Ich flieg' nach Babylon, Hotel mit Vollpension.

Fallen soldier on the ground
Fallen slowly without a sound
Looking up , where you see
Hope still growing on the tree
Hope of peace, freedom and love
Hope that shines, high above
In the skies, now so grey
Where the demons, now they play
Games of power and of lies
That fill with blood the skies
Falling slowly to the ground
On the soldier, without a sound
Lots of dark places out there. Lots of places of light as well! People tend to see the dark much more than the light. Pity. On the other hand, there's no shadow without a light and no light without a shadow...
Shot (without prior planning) through a closed window in shadow on a late afternoon under a dim sky. I decided to use this image to test my camera's high ISO abilities and shot it at ISO 51200. I used standard software to remove the resulting color noise, but couldn't improve much in the way of focus. A better than expected result (thanks to noise reduction software). I also like the chipmunk's look of concentration.

Don't miss it!
This is Tidda jumping off an approximately 10-foot cliff of sand. I did have the camera with me and I'm glad I did catch it (sort of), but I definitely don't want to encourage her doing this as I'm afraid she could really hurt herself. In the beginning she did it multiple times per walk - I think it's just out of sheer exuberance at finding herself on a wide open beach feeling safe and happy! She does it less now but I'll certainly be glad when the summer winds shape those dunes back into rounded hills and make such leaps impossible.
