🪶 Helen has chosen #BestBeaks as #BirdOfTheDay theme; a bird with a beak/bill with striking colours, bold profiles or an interesting shape Alt. is #YellowElements; the colour yellow found on a bird - Pink-Backed Pelican, with a yellow bill #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

A Pink-Backed Pelican standing on a rock in an artificial pond, facing the camera. The bird is left of centre of frame and is facing the camera with its head turned to the left so that its left side is visible. It has a long, yellowish bill, which is tucked into its body and pointing downward, slightly open. The plumage on its head and back are a light grey and its underbelly is white. It has a white crest on the top of its head which is drooping behind its eye. It has pink, webbed feet with prominent nails at the end of the toes.
The rock is a light sand colour, washed from past bird droppings. The water around it has a green tinge and there is an artificial, concrete bank behind it with three shallow channels scored across it parallel with the water line. The background is a wall of boulders in shadow.

"The elm is a tree of strength, holding its great arms out to the heavens as if to grasp the storm itself. It does not yield; it endures, a silent monument to the fierce power of the earth." Henry David Thoreau (from 'Walden') Leaf #scape for #ForestFriday 🌿🌱🌳 #nature #ECK #photography #trees

Sunlit elm leaves seen during local woodland walk yesterday. Two very similar looking 'twin' shapes of twigs shown in the middle.

Misty landscape on Hauenstein, Solothurn, Switzerland features rolling meadows with clusters of bare trees, creating a serene scene. A layer of mist blankets the lower areas, adding a mystical quality. In the background, mountains stretch across the horizon under a clear blue sky. The contrast between the lush green grass and the fog creates depth and tranquility in this picturesque countryside view.

The vibrant side of Sivas is still the old bazaar. Here, an urban fabric has preserved itself that has long since vanished from many metropolises. The knife grinders of Sivas sit in tiny, makeshift tin shacks on the periphery of the bazaar. anatoliaphotography.substack.com/p/the-knife-...

In the old bazaars and the high summer pastures of the Taurus Mountains, the centuries-old art of Anatolian weaving endures. Introduced by nomadic tribes, kelim flatweaves and knotted carpets are far more decorative trade goods. anatoliaphotography.substack.com/p/anatolian-...

On the return ferry from Belfast to Liverpool having settled our son in halls for the 1st year at uni. Quite emotional & really great all at the same time!

A wide-angle, eye-level shot from a ferry deck, looking out over a calm, dark sea under a heavy, overcast grey sky. In the foreground, the curved bow of the white ferry is visible on the bottom left, showing grey metal deck detailing and yellow bollards. The dark, glassy water reflects the moody clouds above, stretching out to a soft horizon. Faint, dark landmasses appear on the far left and right edges of the horizon line.
