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".

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.
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.
Just a simple tourist type Snapograph taken at Dover Kent UK of the Harbour Arm walkway near the Eastern Docks.

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.
Newhaven Harbour, East Sussex. Waves from the open sea on the other side crash over the harbour arm during a storm.
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.
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.
