The American dipper is a husky, slate-gray dark-billed bird, 7 to 8 inches long. It has long legs, a stubby tail, and short powerful wings. White eyelids flash when the bird blinks, up to 50 times a minute. The male and female look alike, but the juvenile may be a little lighter, with a pinkish bill. / The behavior from which the dipper derives its name is most distinguishing. The bird jauntily bounces its body up and down, sometimes also twitching its wings. Theories vary as to why dippers dip. Some experts say it is to communicate with their mates; others say it is to show off their strength to potential predators. Could it merely be a dance of exuberance, born out of the joy of living along a sparkling mountain stream?

You’d better be sure you want to get on this ride. Obviously, another blend of two fractals. I like to place an orderly background beneath some wild or freakish activity, such as here, or with Noodles. The colour of the foreground didn’t quite come out as I had planned. I didn’t realise it until I had the image ready to upload; I added Gaussian blur in Image Tasks to for a softening effect; normally I prefer sharper lines, but I thought I’d be daring and experiment a little. I can get used to it. Actually, the colours almost appear to have been painted by hand.

I took this shot of the moon last night. I added in the big dipper. Best when viewed larger.

M51 is my favorite galaxy, and She was especially beautiful this night. I could see her spiral structure in the 250mm diameter telescope. I couldn’t resist to make a photo. She is located in the constellation Canes Venatici, we find her starting from the easternmost star of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, and going 3.5° southeast. Between 20 and 40 millions light-years away, no one knows exactly. / About 38 000 light-years diameter. / Hundreds billions stars and planet. / How many civilizations… 24 exposures of 1mn30 selected from a series of 70. Pre-processing and addition with Iris. Noise reduction with Neat Image. Curves, levels, vignetage reduction under Photoshop. — M51 est ma galaxie préférée. Généralement on l’appelle la Galaxie du Tourbillon mais je préfère l’appelé la Galaxie des Chiens de Chasses. Elle était vraiment belle cette nuit là. Je pouvais voir ses bras spiraux de le télescope de 250mm de diamètre. J’ai pas pu résister à faire une photo. Elle se trouve la constellation des Chiens de Chasses. On la trouve en partant de l’étoile la plus à l’est de la Grande Ourse, Alkaid, puis on va à 3.5° au sud-est. Entre 20 et 40 année-lumières de distance, persone ne sais exactement. / Environ 38 000 année-lumières de diamètre. / Des centaines de milliards d’étoile et de planètes. / Et combien de civilisations… 24 poses d’une minute trente sélectionner parmi une série de 70. Pré-traitement et addition sous Iris. Réduction du bruit avec Neat Image. Courbes, Niveaux, réduction du vignetage sous Photoshop.

this is the view north over Loch Goil to Lochgoilhead, Argyll, Scotland. / This was a fun photograph to take, necessitating a thirty second exposure. The temperature was way below zero, and the only light on the hills was from a watery moon low in the south, but the air was still and the stars were bright despite the glare from the village. The Plough (or Big Dipper) is very obvious. Nikon D200, 18-200mm

The Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. Belmont Park, Mission Beach, CA. / Riding this coaster for the first time in late 1976, I was unaware that it would be closed within weeks due to structural and safety concerns, though the park and coaster were clearly well worn. / The ride first opened on July 4, 1925 and survived many tough times until the park fell into disrepair and both were closed. I took this photo/slide –and a few others I’ll be adding – in Winter 1981 when the future of Belmont Park and its roller coaster was uncertain due to fires and neglect. / Once a demolition date for the coaster was set in the late 1980s, a group of concerned citizens succeeded, amazingly, in drawing attention to the ride’s condition and interesting developers in its restoration and in 1990, the Giant Dipper reopened. The Belmont Park rollercoaster is one of only two seaside coasters remaining at theme parks in California; the other ride – also called the Giant Dipper – is located at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk park just south of San Francisco. The Belmont Park Giant Dipper is now a designated National Historic Landmark.

Seen on the River Leven in Cumbria, (100 metres from my house) / Best viewed large. / Dippers forage for small animal prey in and along the margins of fast-flowing freshwater streams and rivers. They perch on rocks and feed at the edge of the water, but they often also grip the rocks firmly and walk down them beneath the water until partly or wholly submerged. They then search underwater for prey between and beneath stones and debris; they can also swim with their wings. Their prey consists primarily of invertebrates such as the nymphs or larvae of mayflies, blackflies, stoneflies and caddisflies, as well as small fish and fish eggs. Molluscs and crustaceans are also consumed, especially in winter when insect larvae are less available. / This is the Eurasian variety. It is my favourite bird and this is it’s favourite rock. I watch them on the Leven (my local river) raising their young, sometimes up to 3 broods a year in good years. / Shot with a Sony Alpha 350 DSLR thrtough some tree branches, hence the dark line in the middle.
