Colorado Toad on 31.05.2008 in Wilhelma/Stuttgart - The Colorado toad belongs to the family of toads (Bufonidae). It can grow up to 19 centimeters long and weigh up to 900 grams, with males being smaller and more slender than females. The dorsal color of the Colorado toad varies between dark green and brown tones. The skin of the Colorado toad on its back is equipped with skin glands that secrete a hallucinogenic protective secretion. This secretion protects it from predators and parasites. Habitat: The habitat of the Colorado toad is located in the delta region of the Colorado River and extends from northern Mexico to the southern USA. The nocturnal Colorado toad usually spends long dry periods in burrows of small rodents. Source = www.tier-lexikon.de (go to image)

Hello Manfred,
great photo. I really like frog and toad pictures. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to catch a frog myself yet... only a small tadpole.
Best regards, Marina

The migrating dune is located between Hirtshals and Hanstholm in Denmark. The lighthouse is slowly being swallowed by it, with the North Sea visible in the background. May 2008 (go to image)

Hello Christian,
an impressive shot. How should one imagine the swallowing of the lighthouse? Does it slowly sink into the sand, similar to a bog?
Best regards, Christine

Hi Christine,

thanks for the nice comment :)
In this case, "swallowing" means that the dune keeps advancing and covering it with sand, although this will not happen all the way up to the top of the tower. The tower is probably already about 50% buried in sand. Since this is a migrating dune, it is possible that as it continues to move, the tower will eventually stand completely free again. The houses that stood around the tower are already completely covered with sand and destroyed.

Regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
thank you very much for the detailed response. When you see this photo, you can only vaguely imagine the houses that have disappeared.
Best regards, Christine

Hi,

thanks for your comments :)
True, the houses are hard to see, I will try to publish some detail shots in the next few days where this will be more visible

I really like the photo.

Hello you two,
thank you very much for the kind comments. I am also very fascinated by colors, and Ireland is a true El Dorado in this regard... simply a dreamlike country.

Hello Stefan,
in this regard, you would have very slim chances there, the nearest pub is probably many kilometers away... while I would comfortably settle in that barn with a "bag" of tea bags.

Nice picture, by the way.

Hello Stefan,
wonderful shot, I especially like such idylls... even though the smoking chimneys do not bode well for the temperatures in April. My next vacation might lead to England. Wonderful that I can already get a first impression here.
Best regards, Marina

Thanks for the comments; a rainy day, and instead of a scenic cliff hike, we took a bus tour – and once again I managed to capture an atmospheric image, one rarely found on a postcard.
By the way, we suspect the mouse hole is on the right side: a rather narrow harbor entrance...

Thank you Antje for your comment, it was actually a bit of play with the (back)lighting conditions and the sparkling waves, and a good exercise in case we ever go to the sea...

Hello Stefan,
for me, such photos belong to the master disciplines of photography, as pink reflections and/or sunspots quickly sneak in (at least in my photos).

Good evening Marina, you have brought us a beautiful Cliff of Moher shot from Ireland. It differs not only in the viewing angle but also fundamentally in the weather from mine, which in turn highlights the unique diversity of Ireland.
Best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
thank you. We were incredibly lucky with the weather – 1.5 days of rain in 16 days. However, we did not expect such icy wind conditions; next time we will be prepared for that ;o). Even in bad weather and using a polarizing filter, our lenses are still fast enough to deliver the most incredible photos... sometimes we are amazed ourselves. I really like your Cliffs of Moher photos; I wasn’t able to bring back comparable shots. That’s part of the fascination for me... being able to "capture" an incomparable moment or impression with the camera.
Have a great weekend, Marina

Good evening Marina
I think we agree on this: Ireland cannot be seen, Ireland must be experienced! And capturing this "experience" in photos is not always easy. For years I had a "special camera" for this: a ballpoint pen and some sheets of paper, but you have succeeded in impressively capturing the fascination of Ireland visually, making viewing your pictures an experience.
Greetings from Blonay

Hello Karsten,
the category is incorrect. Tromsø is the capital of the Troms county. You can change that when you have the chance.

Kjosfossen / Kjos Waterfall photographed on 07.08.2007 free fall of 93 m Can be wonderfully viewed during a ride on the Flåm Railway (Flåm - Myrdal). A photo stop is made. (go to image)

Gilbert Angermann 7.6.2008 17:17 7.6.2008 17:17
The photo stop is quite nice, but the recorded chanting and the women dancing in front of the waterfall could be skipped.
To take a decent picture, you have to wait until most of the tourists are back on the train.

Hello Gilbert,
when I first saw the Huldra at the waterfall and heard the droning music from the tape, I laughed so hard I slapped my thighs! This nonsense was copied by the Flåm tourist office from the USA. Many years ago, the chairman proudly told this once in the Baltic Sea report.

Very beautiful and interesting coastal photo, Christine. I think I would also like Cornwall. I find it very convenient that you explore such beautiful regions... it makes choosing the next holiday destinations easier ;o)

Good evening Marina,
thank you for your comment.
Cornwall is really worth a trip. I think it's great if the photos make you curious about the country. Have fun planning.

longest road tunnel in Norway, 24 km underground, it is vault-shaped expanded three times at equal intervals and recognizable from afar by colored lights. I think it is a great experience and all toll-free!!!! (go to image)

André Breutel 7.6.2008 18:47 7.6.2008 18:47
Hello Karsten,
During the construction period of the Lærdal Tunnel, the Norwegian Ministry of Transport commissioned a study to investigate long tunnel drives. After all, it was the first car tunnel of such length. The study found that long underground driving neglects the senses and attention rapidly diminishes. This can be avoided if sunlight is simulated at regular intervals for the human eye. This led to the idea of building the three "light gates" at kilometers 6, 12, and 18. Were there any works during your drive through the tunnel? Every time we drove through, there were small repairs or cleanings. I suspect this was also intended to promote drivers' attention. Here are a few photos:
