A view looking SW from Mt. Alyeska across the Turnagain Arm at low tide toward the Kenai mountains.
"Turnagain Arm was named by William Bligh of HMS Bounty fame. Bligh served as Cook's Sailing Master on his 3rd and final voyage, the aim of which was discovery of the Northwest Passage. Upon reaching the head of Cook Inlet, Bligh was of the opinion that both Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm were the mouths of rivers and not the opening to the Northwest Passage. Under Cook's orders Bligh organized a party to travel up Knik Arm, which quickly returned to report Knik Arm indeed led only to a river.
Afterwards a second party was dispatched up Turnagain Arm and it too returned to report only a river lay ahead. As a result of this frustration the second body of water was given the disingenuous name "Turn Again".

Mt. Shuksan and Shuksan Arm. (The most photographed mountain in the US). Near Mt. Baker Ski Resort, in Glacier, WA.
Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire, before the storms we had earlier, this tree with arm aloft stands among the wreckage of some of its neighbours. Having briefly visited the site after the storms I was expecting carnage, but all seemed to have survived, ready for me to explore more when the mist returns.

La capacidad q tienen los niños para soñar y vivir la realidad como un sueño más producto de su imaginación no la tenemos los adultos. Observando como este niño mira las pompas de jabón extasiado nos damos cuenta de la fragilidad de la maravillosa inocencia de la infancia y de nuestra obligación como adultos de protegerla.

According to the current theme, group members were supposed to submit a photo related to the word 'click'. I took a photo of a lock for the metallic sounds it makes every time you close it. I tried to keep the composition as minimal as possible.
De acuerdo con el tema propuesto, los miembros del grupo teníamos que subir una fotografía que tuviera alguna relación con la palabra 'click'. Escogí un candado por el sonido metálico que hace cada vez que se cierra. Intenté que la composición fuera minimalista.
Es war Winter, und es war kalt. Schnee war viel zu wenig. Dennoch freuten sich Kinder und auch große Kinder. Sie bauten einen Schneemann - mit dem was da war. Der Schneemann stand, er hielt dem Wetter stand, er hielt dem sich ankündigenten Frühling noch lange stand - bis er letztendlich doch verschwand. Was blieb, das diente Vögeln zum Nestbau. Nun ist nichts mehr schmutzig und grau. Die Wiesen grünen, Blumen blühen, und oft ist auch der Himmel blau. So ist der Gang der Dinge.
It was winter, and it was cold. Snow was too little. Nevertheless, children and big children were happy. They built a snowman - with what was there. The snowman stood, he withstood the weather, he withstood the approaching spring for a long time - until he finally disappeared. What remained was what birds used to build nests. Now nothing is dirty and gray. The meadows are green, flowers are blooming, and often the sky is blue. Such is the way of things.
At low tide, the shallow sea is almost empty. A water roller rolls at 20 to 25 km / hour into the silt at high tide. The silt is very dangerous because of drifting sand. In this bay Captain Cook had to turn back in his quest for the northwest passage. The bay got the name Turnagain Arm.

The morning view across Turnagain Arm between Anchorage and Seward requires an infinite number of stops with camera in hand.

Chair arm from a chair in Palau Güell's.
Palau Güell was one of the first important commissions Antoni Gaudí received at the start of his career. Eusebi Güell (industrialist, politician and patron of the arts) wanted Gaudí to build him this peculiar urban palace as an extension of the family home on La Rambla. It was the home of the Güell i López family until they moved to Park Güell.
When our niece and her hubby visited us with their boat for a few days, we were so fortunate to have a beautiful clear day, free of smoke from all the forest fires burning in B.C. at the time. This is a view at the end of Shuswap Lake's Seymour Arm. (17-09-16-8276)
