After arriving there in Kauai I had learned that the island was receiving record breaking waves(40-50ft) and most of the beaches where either closed or severely battered. At Ke'e Beach, on my 4th day I found that the swell had receded and some of the beaches had reopened to the public. I wandered around in the rain looking for a suitable composition for a midday capture and luckily realized that my footsteps would compromise a serene beach setting so I moved down into the water to prevent inadvertently spoiling the scene with footprints, why not I was already drenched. I spent a couple of hours dodging the surf and cleaning the beach and waiting out the rain and the intermittent surf would occasionally throw a huge swell in and wash all the way up the shore and rinse off the beach, so I cleaned the debris out of my composition and waited for a large swell to rinse the sand. In hindsight it would have probably been easier to clean up the beach in Photoshop, but after reviewing the days photos I found this one to be kinda cool with my footprints included. Hope you like it too!!!
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day ahead my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
She was hunting right in front of me so I stepped back approximately 50ft and continued to watch her move from limb to limb.
Birds Eye View of Taughannock Falls from the overlook.
Over 50ft taller than Niagra Falls, this is perhaps one of the nicest waterfalls in the Finger Lakes region. (Hard to decide as there are many others as well).
Thank you for looking and please do NOT use my images without my written permission.

Wast Water in the Lake District is the deepest lake in England. Its maximum depth is 258ft (79m). At that depth, the bottom is more than 50ft below sea level. The valley that Wast Water is located in is an excellent example of a glacially 'over-deepened' valley.
The steep scree slopes that lead up to the summits of Whin Rigg and Illgill Head are known as the "Wast Water Screes". These screes formed as a result of ice and weathering erosion of volcanic rocks. They are approximately 2,000ft, from top to base, the base being about 200ft below the surface of the lake. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wast_Water
Such a beautiful sunny day is unusual in the Lake District.

At 700 ft. long, the Burrard Dry Dock Pier is a signature landmark and the City's largest pier. Located at the foot of Lonsdale, the Pier offers spectacular 360-degree views of the North Shore and Vancouver skylines.
The Burrard Dry Dock Pier represents a coming together of the past and future. It stands as a tribute to the City's shipbuilding history and rich marine heritage. At the same time, the Pier has contributed to the transformation of the City's waterfront into a major urban destination.
The Burrard Dry Dock Pier, a 700ft long, 50ft wide public promenade, is open daily from 6:00am to 11:00pm. It boasts moorage of vessels up to 134m (440ft) long with a 4770 tonne displacement [...]. www.cnv.org/Parks-Recreation-and-Culture/City-Waterfront/...

From a series of underwater caverns off the coast of Lana’i, Hawaii. A turtle swims through a lava tube fissure at 50ft.
This one is from yesterday a local one to Strathaven this is a waterfall on the Kype Water just down stream from Sanford one of a series of 7 waterfalls.
This one isn’t much photographed as it is a pain to get to. Probably not the most spectacular one but it looked great yesterday when the burn was full.
The “Spectaclee” is the bottom of the 7 falls probably which must be a straight drop of 50ft but you couldn’t get anywhere near it yesterday.
This is a pool I often fished for Trout when I was much younger & caught many a good one in here. Not the right time of year for fishing for the "Brownies" they will be spawning the next generation just now.

Whale breaching - Southern Right Whales are about 15m/50ft in length, so only about half of it is visible here.
The patterns of white barnacles and sea-lice are unique to each whale and is thought to aid visual identification amongst the whales.
Its eye is clearly visible - they are able to focus both below and above the surface. The reason for breaching is not entirely clear; it could be part of their mating behaviour, or possibly a way of removing skin infestations - or maybe it's just fun!
Pictured here off the coast of Hermanus in South Africa. The whales can be easily seen from the cliff-tops.
On the log boom catching the warm sun rays, I am probably 50ft away in the Minnow on the other side of the boom. On land the Vultures would be long gone but on the boom the rules seem to change. I have found that with other species, even harbour seals are happy to pose as long as I approach slowly.
Is anyone having difficulty with tags lately? Has something on Flickr changed regarding tags?

Steam locomotive 6201 Princess Elizabeth photographed last weekend en route to Carlisle. The locomotive is a preserved steam train, being only one of two preserved Princesses.
Here, she can be seen crossing Dandry Mire Viaduct whilst heading north en route to Carlisle. This viaduct is one of the lower structures along the Settle-Carlisle railway, standing only 50ft tall. Originally there were plans to build the railway along an embankment here, but as construction started it was realised that the ground was too soft and instead this viaduct was built.
Having only been soaked by a heavy shower minutes earlier, luckily a break in the clouds and a brief dry spell allowed me to photograph the engine as it passed over the viaduct. A fantastic trail of steam added a nice touch to the scene, backed by the dramatic sky as the next storm approached.
Occupying a lofty, lonely spot overlooking the waters of Llyn Padarn, native-built Dolbadarn Castle was once a vital link in the defences of the ancient kingdom of Gwynedd. Most likely constructed by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) in the late 12th or early 13th century, it stood watch over the strategic route inland from Caernarfon to the upper Conwy Valley.
Today the site is dominated by the sturdy round tower, very different in style to the unmortared slate slabs which make up the castle’s curtain walls. Standing 50ft/15.2m high, the tower’s design was probably inspired by that of similar fortresses built by Llywelyn’s rivals in the borderlands of the southern Marches.
The foot tunnel was opened in1902 and replaced an expensive an sometimes unreliable ferry service allowing workers living south of the Thames to reach their workplaces in the London docks and shipyards in or near the Isle of Dogs.
The tunnel is inclined at either end and constructed with iron rings coated with concrete and surfaced with some 200,000 white glazed tiles.
the tunnel is 1215 ft (370m) long, 50ft (15.2m) deep and an internal diameter of 9ft (2.74m).
But it was worth it...at the lakeside haunt.
I have a feeling it's going to be a tough and hungry winter for these guys. Too many deer for the area they inhabit. No real predators, nor is hunting allowed.
Earlier this morning I came across one that was listless and barely acknowledged me when I came within 50ft.
The lock gate at Lydney Quay on the Severn Estuary. The Estuary has one of the world's highest tidal range of 50ft (15 metres).Hopefully ,the gates weren't inadvertently left open.
Il Vittoriano is a monument built in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy. In the upper part, there are tall (50ft high) Corinthian columns. The statue of a winged Victory can be seen at top right.
A brief moment of sunshine this morning. This guys was only about 50ft off the ground. A slight crop.

A spectacular end to yesterday as the last day of Summer drew to a close with this red rainbow at Thornton Force. After a day of torrential and thundery showers I thought it would be worth checking out the water levels, so headed to the nearby River Twiss in Kingsdale.
As the evening was still pretty damp and overcast, I didn't expect any decent light so hiked to Pecca Falls which is a fine series of cascades located in an impressive ravine. I spent quite some time photographing these waterfalls, getting soaked in the process from a combination of both water spray and rainfall.
I packed up my camera equipment, thinking I'd dry it off when I got back to my lodge. However, as I looked up I suddenly noticed a hint of red in the sky. As I was in a steep wooded ravine I couldn't see the conditions above, so quickly dashed uphill to have a better look.
As I climbed higher and higher, the sky started to burn with a blaze of red. I nearly had a heart attack running up the steep path to Thornton Force, where this red rainbow suddenly appeared in front of me. This is the first time I've ever photographed a red rainbow, which occurs when the sun is on the horizon meaning shorter wavelengths of blue, green and yellow light, leaving a primarily red appearance.
As I unpacked my camera, everything had completely steamed up in my bag. It was a complete rush drying everything off quickly in time to capture the rainbow before it disappeared, but luckily I managed a few quick images before the light went.
The mighty Thornton Force, which is an impressive 50ft tall, was completely dwarfed by the huge rainbow which framed the cascading River Twiss perfectly. However, luckily due to the heavy amount of rainfall the waterfall still looked impressive beneath it.
The village of Garrigill is located approximately 5 miles from Alston and just to the east of it there is a deep gorge and an impressive tumbling Ashgill Burn.
Ashgill Force is the main waterfall located directly below an arched road bridge. The waterfall has a 50ft drop and it is possible to walk behind it due to the erosion of the rocks. Ashgill Force is visible in the background.
Slightly downstream from the main waterfall are a series of other smaller falls and bridges crossing the burn.
Southern Right Whale breaching and backflipping off the coast of Hermanus, South Africa.
Typically growing to about 15m/50ft in length, they are one of the larger whale species.
A delightful Easter Sunday, went to visit some friends on thier narrowboat, I assisted with many locks and navigated thier 50ft boat along the twists and turns of the Shropshire Union Canal, the weather was that good I even got a tan.
A grab shot as this Buzzard was mobbed by Crows about 50ft above my head...the hapless raptor was then mobbed by a flock of angry Lapwings...great to see...Musselburgh Lagoons
A very hot and hazy mid-day CN local on the N&NW spur in Hamilton heads for the end of the line to drop 2 50ft boxes.

GREETINGS FROM ST. THOMAS
Completed by: Blazeworks
Inspired by vintage post cards, this mural consists of blog text with imagery from monumental locations of St. Thomas. These landmarks can be found within the text of the mural, while the overall piece takes a more modern approach to the vintage style postcards. This is a relatively large mural as it is 50ft x 15ft. Stop by to pose, or to just check out the incredibly detailed piece!
There are over two hundred species of woodpecker and two species of wrynecks worldwide. Of these, three species of woodpecker and one species of wryneck are found in the UK.
This is a great spotted woodpecker. About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown.
This image was taken at Scottish Photography Hides, in Dumfries and Galloway. It is totally wild, only encouraged to the feeder with food. Our hide was about 50ft away.
We can see the back of its head in this picture.
These huge mammals are about 15m/50ft in length, so we are seeing about 10m/30ft emerging from the water here at the top of its breach. The white encrustations are a mixture of barnacles and sea lice that infest all of this species, but in different patterns on each individual. It is speculated that this help the whales to visually identify each other.
Seen off Hermanus in South Africa - photographed from the cliff top - the whales come in very close to shore.
Growing to about 15m/50ft in ln length, these magnificent creatures are often seen poking their heads up, having a look to see what’s happening above the surface. In Hermanus bay, South Africa, whales are a common sight, coming to within a couple of hundred metres of the shore.
A fog bound lake Vyrnwy, North Wales and the Vyrnwy tower. The Straining tower, stands 160ft tall, in 50ft of water. So named as the tower incorporates a metal mesh wire to strain the water and remove deposits, before the water enters a viaduct and travels to Manchester. The tower built around 1890, has the appearance of a fairy tale castle, it is linked to the shore by an arched bridge, just seen in the photo.
The theme for week #34 is Glass.
This is the Temperate Glasshouse in Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Gardens it was built in 1858. It has been refurbished a couple of times the most recent in 2004-5. It was built by Robert Matheson. The stonework is 50ft high and the glass domes add another 22ft which allows room for some rather tall plants, mainly palms.
The Wailing Widow Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Scotland. Located on the west coast near Kylesku Bridge, this 50ft waterfall falls from Loch na Gainmhich and is accessible to view from both the top and bottom of the falls.
The white encrustations are a mixture of barnacles and sea- lice that all whales of this species carry, even the juveniles. Around 15m/50ft in length, these whales don’t have a dorsal fin. Their tail flukes are horizontal, so this one has twisted itself slightly.
Seen off the coast of Hermanus, South Africa.

This was once a thriving water way with steam ship traffic and then over night completely drained and is now a thriving wildlife prairie in Central Florida. Home to a bison herd, wild horses, deer, alligators and over 271 species of birds.
Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park near Gainesville, FL
Amazed how this bird blended in with the tree, about 50ft off the road, I had driven past, turned around, and a lump on the tree caught my attention, he was so beautifully blended with its surroundings.
Winchester Cathedral's enormous Gothic Nave, the largest in the country by length and one of the largest by width. At 300ft long, 50ft wide and 80ft high, it is still a sight to behold.
Seen on a cold winter day just before sunset, totally empty.
Uria aalge-
Difficult shot this, it kept diving and re-emerging 40/50ft away.
It was hard to try and work out where it was going to go next.

Built in 1899 and standing at over 50ft tall, the Kettle Valley Railways Ladner creek trestle was one of many unique and amazing locations on the railways battle of the Coquihalla pass. Despite the last train running in 1964, and a fire caused by arsonists, the bridge still stands as an eerie testimate to the dedication of Andrew McCulloch and the KVR, carving a railway thru some of the most unforgiving territory in British Columbia.
