Lens-Artist-PC-118-Communication
~~~~~

When I first saw this theme…
…I immediately thought of this
form of communication.
Then nonverbal came to mind.
Definite signs of tenderness and caring
for each other are being exhibited.
Without context this is simply an image of two birds.
These two would look at each other and
exchange a few words, as in this photo.
They would then look straight ahead
while furiously bobbing their heads up and down.
When they had ‘laughed’ at the joke
they would start another story,
repeating the cycle every thirty seconds or so.
Must have been short jokes.
When ears are shaken in this manner,
know that you have been warned.
This elephant is definitely wanting its own
space and is telling tourists to get lost,
in no uncertain manner.
If unheeded the next move is to
lay the ears flat against its head and charge.
This youngsters parents were asking her
to stop so I could take my photos.
I felt her reply was not
a come hither gesture, however,
it is just another form of
nonverbal communication.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Vacation

Twelve months ago…
…we had completed our flight to Coldfoot (Alaska)…
…visited Wiseman, inside the Arctic Circle…
…and were preparing for our journey home to Australia.
After all the preparation and organising,
our vacation was over.

Pic-and-Word-Challenge_Wk183_Risk
There seems to be an element of risk
in everyday living these days.
However, it is not every day that one gets…
to pat a cheetah…
…although she sowed some sign
of not being happy with one traveller.
Standing under a 6 ton 30-year-old elephant
has some risk involved.
The Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains
Peak2Peak Gondola Ride
has travellers sailing at a minimum
of 1,400 feet above ground
with only a piece of wire holding things together.
Admittedly a rather larger piece of wire.
The riskiest part of any flight
is take off and landing.
And flying over Alaska’s wilds
one always hopes the risk of
engine failure is minimal.

Blue…my favourite colour.
Whether it is the blue skies of
Far North Queensland, or…
…flying into the Alaskan wild blue yonder
in our blue plane.

Blues and yellows from all over.
This was new to me.
I was unaware we had coast guard boats, as such,
let alone yellow ones.
Air Arctic at Coldfoot airport.
A local tourist train.
Fairbanks airport I think.
My favourite form this set.
Loved the song or The Beatles.
Not so sure now though.

adventure
noun
an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity.
This was the start of our…
adventure to Wiseman, Alaska.
We flew over the wilds of Alaska…
…prior to landing at Coldfoot.
From Coldfoot it was a relatively short
coach ride to Wiseman.
A small town 63 miles North of the Arctic Circle.
Certainly and adventure and as far North
as we have ever been on our planet.

A blast from the past…
To think this was the modern way to make
a phone call not that many years ago.
