The Random Image Thread

this was taken from a window of train car when it was passing through a demolishing project area in the center of Shanghai. It has been the fourth round of extensive city renovation since 1990. I can envision that there will be no such thing that is half-century old left in Shanghai unless it is intentionally left for preservation.View attachment 285970
Looks like cleaning up the smog is still not very high on the 'to do' list over there.

How did you catch it on the nest, rather than running across the beach or parking lot with its broken wing routine?
It was in a graveled median strip, between two parking lots. Usually, they do fly away, and do the broken wing act, this one must have been used to more activity than most, and allowed me to get a shot. Beautiful birds. The "nests" are difficult to see, even though usually out in the open. Not seen one since, in this area. I have another shot of a youngster with the mom, I will try to get it sorted out, and post it.
