Stockholm, Sweden.
Was on the way back to my hotel after a huge dinner and this building caught my eyes.

Sure it wasn't the Samsung Galaxy that caught your eye ?

I still do not get the best settings for uploading a file from iOS.
Size limit seem to be 2000x on the longer end, but image is being shrinked down futher in kb anyway. Even if it is 2000x and below 1Mb.

What are your best settings?

Sarracenia Purpurea, Pitcher Plant.
Always have to take a picture when see them as that is what daughter developed her PhD dissertation on studying the micro environments of the nutrients. Had to laugh last week as she was in a second hand store and an article about her research with pictures of her in the field was on a discarded magazine shelf that the store was offering. She didn't know how to feel about that. Pointed out that at least they were not throwing her out, but passing on to others.

This video was made in conjunction with the print article. While it is in French (English subtitles), she is the one speaking in English beginning at the 0:52 sec mark (and pictured on the thumbnail...which I didn't know the pasted link would convert to).

Local aquarium. G9 with PL12-60 @ ISO 2000, 1/25 F3.2. Enough DR to pull out the rock detail in the foreground, but enough shutter to capture the moving sealife. It's a pretty dark setting, so the goal was to match the mood of the original scene.

For all of yous Beatles fans (note the use of the vernacular). 5-minute exposure on an extremely grey and drizzly day. Comments always appreciated.

Could be some type of shopping trolley or fire extinguisher perhaps ?

The trees know
about the winter.
About the change.
About the falling.
About the loss.
And they grow anyway.
What's your excuse?

Hooded Merganser duck doing "the Resnick Flip" (named after wildlife/bird photographer Ron Resnick, who first identified and coined the term for the behavior), which is when a water bird flips his catch in his mouth to reposition it prior to swallowing it. This is often seen with herons and egrets, especially when they're swallowing a big fish. Whatever this guy has in his mouth he'd been playing with it, dropped it and retrieved it, dunking his head in the water to recapture it, then held it in his mouth and started flipping it. He then turned away and swam beyond my view so I couldn't see if he finally did swallow the darned thing!

Guys!!!! I’m in Tasmania!!! What a beautiful country!!! I’ve never seen something like that.

This was a few days ago, can you recognize this place?

They have everything here: rainforests, beaches, mountains, hills. Amazing.
