Hurricane Matthew 2016
This was an easier photograph to take than one fifty yards to the left, this damage is only to some decking from a restaurant
On the left people lost everything, the sea surge eroded the foundation, the ground floor disappeared & with it all their belongings, the previous shot showed the owners looking for belongings
Water pressure forced the garage door open on the opposite side of the house & then bent it an ninety degrees. Whilst the house still stands it will have to be demolished, houses identified in biblical terms with a red cross & a "phone number".
Almost every other home in this area was declared to be uninhabitable, even those that are are now deemed to be fine will not be able to stand another storm, the sea is at the back door & cannot be stopped
Twenty year ago these where desirable homes
IS GLOBAL WARMING HAPPENING???????????????????
... with a special guest
for a Happy Springlike Bokeh Wednesday !

En las Bardenas Reales no está permitido fotografiar de noche. Esta imagen fue tomada sobre las once de la mañana.
El aspecto de hora azul se ha conseguido mediante procesado digital.
Las Bardenas Reales de Navarra son una superficie extraterrestre fabricada en la Tierra por la conjunción de un terreno compuesto por arcillas, yesos y areniscas, que se extienden a lo largo y ancho de 42.000 hectáreas por el Sureste de Navarra y tres términos municipales de Aragón.
El agua y el viento han hecho, a lo largo de los siglos, que esa superficie rugosa, redondeada, con formaciones y surcos que parecen gigantescas venas, hayan ido conformando un paisaje que nos recuerde invariablemente el aspecto de las imágenes que hemos ido conociendo de la luna, Marte y otros planetas del sistema solar a los que el hombre ha ido enviando sucesivas expediciones, para fotografiarlos y conocer sus características físico-químicas.
Sabía desde hacía muchos años que experimentaría sensaciones peculiares cuando lograse visitar ese lugar... Y no me defraudó.
Si existe en la mente humana algo parecido al sentimiento de "soledad cósmica", esas dos palabras puestas una junto a la otra son las más precisas que se me ocurren para definir cómo me sentí durante el tiempo que pasé allí.
Pero hubo más.
Me sentí tan impelido a recorrer caminos y más caminos que, cuando llegó el momento, confieso que me costó salir de allí. Y no porque me hubiese perdido, sino porque alguna fuerza que desconozco me empujaba a quedarme y seguir recorriéndolos.
En ningún momento exerimenté ninguna sensación parecida al miedo, pero sí estuve permenentemente imbuido en una especie de seguridad de que estaba recorriendo una tierra "viva", que en algunos momentos me dio la impresión de estar en un casi imperceptible movimiento.
Contaré más anécdotas de aquellas dos jornadas en próximas imágenes... Y volveré allí, SEGURO!!!

Part two of the whimbrel squabble over a sand crab. The indignant one on the left is the one that originally dug up the crab from the sand and the one doing the snatching is the interloper.
Thanks for viewing! I so appreciate you taking the time to visit and comment!

snow clouds from the sea are approaching the coast.../En stund i solen, snöskurar från havet närmar sig kusten.../Un momento de sol, nubes con nieve se aproximan desde el mar congelado...(DSC_2486)
daybreak
a thousand pieces
floating on the lake
shifting dreams
waking galaxies
constellations form
the wind breathes
everything shivers
light is born reborn
ps I took some liberties with the time of day
actually it was late afternoon...
sometimes these thing don't really matter.
I hope this is one of them ;-)

As Nelli is more adventourous as her sister, Mira watches from the kitchen door what she will do next ...
As it is the very first time for them to be outside in their life and because of the strong winds blowing, their first "excursions" didn't take too long :-))
