Hiking to volcano borders

atpaula posted a topic in Places, 8 October, 2020

I love hiking and these four are special, because they were in volcanoes.
1- Villarica (Chile): made in 2002 on a motorcycle trip. With the acrophobia that I developed I would hardly do it again. The volcano is active, as seen by the smoke. Erupted last time in 2015;
2- Etna (Sicily): 2015. I went up twice, once on the south side and once on the north side. Active too. Last eruption in 2019;
3- Vesuvius (Napoli) 2015. Historical importance, as it devastated Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD. Last eruption in 1944;
4- Gran Catere (Vulcano Island, Aeolian ) 2015. Active. Last eruption in 1890.
5- Stromboli (Stromboli Island, Aeolian ) 2015. Active. This one I didn't go up because they say this is where Maga Patalogika lives.

Home Bred Spotted Flycatcher

CarreraS posted a topic in Birds, 23 July, 2020

Back in early June I noticed an unfamiliar bird nesting in the rose trellis alongside the front door, which I thought was a garden warbler. There were at least four small eggs which were bluish white with brown mottling.

Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagles

Not remarkable photography by any means (X-T2 + 100-400/4.5-5.6 @ 400mm + 1.4x TC, around 1/125-250 sec @ 800 ISO, OIS, hand-held - kinda pushing the envelope for the little beast here), but when I spotted this group in a dead tree in the paddock behind my back gate I had to grab what I could and photograph them.

Despite the quarantine measures on nature, you can even go out! For immunity, there is nothing ray of sunshine, fresh air and distributed physical exertion.

A few weeks back I 'enjoyed' a field trip with the RPS to the Open University campus in Milton Keynes. I say enjoy because storm Dennis was raging at the time and I did get very wet and battered. It was nevertheless very interesting though not as productive as hoped.

17.5 Square Meters

Dallas posted an entry in General, 29 February, 2020

Originally this was the dining room of our rented house when we moved here in 2008. At that time I had set up my office-come-studio in the most eastern part of the house, which with two big windows facing east and north is the sunniest room in the house. It was in that space that I began my unintended career as a website developer and photographer.
