Turquoise blue lake on the edge of a highland river
I had this lake on my wish list ever since I found it on google maps. Because of the color, I have to admit I really wanted to use the drone to capture it from an aerial perspective. The riverbed of the highland river in the foreground gives the picture even more depth. All the more reason to photograph from this direction.
The colors are typical for Iceland. Although not so often, because black and green usually predominate. But it was typically Icelandic — treeless! Brown soil, with erosion gullies cutting through different layers of earth give the motif something special. And then, in total color contrast to the brown, the turquoise of the lake surface.
With thanks to Gizmodo Australia's Zac Kelly, here's my quick video hands-on of the 2024 refresh of the Tesla Model 3. Yes, the one without indicator stalks. Do I have thoughts? OF COURSE I DO.
Black Swans of New Zealand.
All the babies lined up with volcanic Rangitoto Island in the background, while mum wanders along behind them with Auckland city in the beyond.
Meet Karma, my friends Lorikeet, he's so pretty and smart.
Loriini is a tribe of small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries.
The group consists of the lories and lorikeets.
The fabulous Pōhutukawa tree (the New Zealand Christmas tree) coming into bloom.
By Christmas the whole tree will be a mass of beautiful nectar rich flowers.
The Australasian swamphen is a species of purple swamphen occurring in eastern Indonesia and the South Pacific, in New Zealand it is known as the pūkeko.
Poor at flying, they are excellent swimmers, waders and runners.
The Corran ferry, which crosses Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and gives access to Morvern, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, waiting for customers at Nether Lochaber on the sort of wintry night that makes you long for summer.

#Walking at #Nairn in a variety of environments including: harbour, river, rural, woodland, town, golf course, and coast. The “Brighton of the North" is reputedly one of the driest and sunniest spots in #Scotland … 😎
Spotted this strange and rare sight today, never seen one on a beach before. Could be a wader I thought, digging for worms and stuff.. definitely not a crane ... 🤔 😄😄
The motorbike frog (Ranoidea moorei) is a ground-dwelling tree frog of the subfamily Pelodryadinae found in Southwest Australia.
Its common name is derived from the male frog's mating call, which sounds similar to a motorbike changing up through gears.
AI clearly has no clue what a Highland cow is... in fantasy mode.
Amazing that software can create such a flawless pretty image out of thin air based on an original image.
Great to see this guy at the feeder.
Not sure it's a good sign or not really, could be juvenile getting a quick breakfast or is it hard times already out there for his food of choice.
