con Canon EF 1.4x II at 180mm, 1/1000 f/10.0, ISO 800, hand held. Galàpagos Islands, Ecuador. Specie: Phaethon aethereus

Secondo il mito, Fetonte, per far vedere ad Epafo che Apollo era veramente suo padre, lo pregò di lasciargli guidare il carro del Sole; ma, a causa della sua inesperienza, ne perse il controllo, i cavalli si imbizzarrirono e corsero all'impazzata per la volta celeste: prima salirono troppo in alto, bruciando un tratto del cielo che divenne la Via Lattea (questo è uno dei miti che spiegano l'origine della Via Lattea; ve ne sono diversi altri), quindi scesero troppo vicino alla terra, devastando la Libia che divenne un deserto. Gli abitanti della terra chiesero aiuto a Zeus che intervenne per salvare la terra e, adirato, scagliò un fulmine contro Fetonte, che cadde alle foci del fiume Eridano, forse nell'odierna Crespino o nelle terre di Alfonsine. - Fetonte beccorosso (Phaeton aethereus) al nido tra le rocce di lava, South Plaza, Galapagos, novembre 2014
