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".

Trying to make the most of an overcast cloudy day, A visit to Herne Bay to try and find some colour!
While visiting the sunshine coast we ventured to the Laughing Oyster Restaurant just outside Okeover Provincial Park for dinner. We walked down to the wharf to capture this view looking north up the arm.
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.

With a train of stone loads from Plum Run, CCET rolls west past an N&W doll arm intermediate just east of Peebles. This was something I didn't know even existed until recently, and I can't think of anywhere else something like it is still standing. It also seems that someone came back here to clean up the brush recently, opening up what I can only imagine was an overgrown mess. I'm glad to reap the fruits of their labor, and it was a treat to be able to shoot such a unique scene.

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.
The stopping point of our scenic cruise through the Tracy Arm Fjord during a 7 day Alaska cruise celebrating our 21st Anniversary.
Newhaven Harbour, East Sussex. Waves from the open sea on the other side crash over the harbour arm during a storm.
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.

This is one of the many run-offs from the snow and ice in the mountains around the Tracy Arm in Alaska.

I have seen this Agile wallaby in my backyard a few times. I have spoken to the local wildlife carer and he said that the missing arm and the deformed arm was probably caused by a dingo attack. She must find it difficult to get around because they do use their arms for mobility when they are not hopping with their legs and also cleaning themselves.
Le Monument à Maisonneuve est une œuvre de Louis-Philippe Hébert à la mémoire de Maisonneuve, fondateur de Montréal, installée en 1895 au centre de la place d'Armes dans le Vieux-Montréal.
Pour célébrer le 250e anniversaire de la fondation de la ville, un projet fut adopté le 23 avril 1891 par le conseil municipal alors dirigé par le maire James McShane. Le sculpteur Louis-Philippe Hébert, bien occupé, fut approché pour soumettre ses projets. Sous le personnage de Maisonneuve, il propose de placer aux quatre coins des figures allégoriques. On lui suggère alors de remplacer les figures allégoriques par des personnages historiques.
Ainsi sur la photo distingue-t-on la figure d'un Iroquois, à droite du bas-relief commémorant la Mort héroïque de Dollard au Long Sault.
Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated.
Near Sawyer Glacier, in Tracy Arm Fjord, we saw a bunch of seals riding on the ice floes.

Alaska Railroad Train 120S bound for the barge in Whittier is seen hustling along the Turnagain Arm just south of Beluga Point behind a trio of the railroad's geeps. With two of the three remaining as delivered black geeps in this consist, this made for a memorable chase from Potter Marsh down to Portage.
1. Arm Check!, 2. Ah, still smells nice and fresh :-)
Thought you guys might enjoy my odd sense of humor this weekend. This is a diptych when junior was about a week old.
For those following the saga, I just found out that the Princess's simple handpainting has been used by this "ColourLovers" site in addition to the one I mentioned yesterday. The sad part about the site I found today is that it says it is for creative folks (who should know better). I wonder if these brainiacs (NOT!) realize that if they ask permission and use a photo they will likely drive new hits and possibly customers? I would call their approach "stupid" but the Princess would scold me for using a bad word ;-)
Not gonna let the losers get me down though :-) So feel the love and let's have some fun this weekend! Thanks for all the comments, visits and faves!
