Council approved a Contract Award (CA) of $2,662,046 to Fraser River Pile & Dredge to replace the east pier at Fraser River
Foreshore Park. The work includes demolition and removal of the existing pier and construction of the new pier including piling,
concrete deck, railings, shoreline protection and landscaping.
This last weekend found me in Anchorage for the shortest day of the year. My wife and I drove up to Portage at the head of Turnagain Arm.
This is taken looking down the arm at sunset. As Turnagain Arm has some of the highest tides in the world (upwards of 36 feet), the tides pick up ice and move it up the arm and leaves it when the tide recedes. In the big summer bore tides provide an opportunity for surfers to get a 50 mile ride as the incoming tide overruns the outgoing tide and makes a wave about 6 feet high that runs up the arm.
Turnagain gets it name from it's discovery. Captain Cook sent his first mate, William Bligh of Bounty fame, in their smaller sailing vessel to see if it was the Northwest Passage. As the wind almost always blows down the arm, they had to continuously tack to go against the wind...or Turn Again!

We went to a remote place in California's Mojave desert to launch a big rocket called HARP - High Altitude Rocketry Program. My son was leading a team of San Jose State University students to build and launch the rocket. Shortly before launch he is arming the sustainer (upper stage) with help from a big machine.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.

The view looking down… this arm looks thin but it’s capable!!! :)
La scène vue d'en haut... ce bras n'est pas épais mais il est costaud !
It was probably the most impressive experience I’ve ever had but it was not easy. I will never forget the robotic arm ride while holding equipment that is three times my weight. The slightest movement increased its inertia (thankfully Megan is the world champion robotic arm operator). Visually it was a bit like holding a fridge upside down, while holding on with my feet over a 300 km cliff face #humblebrag. Quite a few things didn’t go according to plan but I am immensely proud of the team that fought to find solutions. #dreamteam. Shane exudes professionalism at all times, the ground teams and control centre were on point, and then there were our incredible colleagues driving the robotic arm and getting us into the suits (and out again). I might still be on an adrenaline high, but I don’t think you can find a better team. We are going to try to get some rest and consider the follow-up operations.
C’était à la fois une expérience magique et un vrai combat ; je ne suis pas prêt d’oublier ce petit tour au bout du bras robotique en tenant un équipement qui fait 3 fois mon poids, le moindre mouvement lui faisant prendre de l’inertie. Heureusement que Megan est championne du monde de conduite de bras robotique ! Visuellement c’était un peu comme tenir un frigo, accroché par les pieds, la tête à l’envers sur une paroi abrupte de quelques kilomètres #humblebrag. Pas mal de choses ne se sont pas passées comme prévu mais je suis super fier de l’équipe qui s’est battue pour trouver des solutions #dreamteam. Shane 👨🚀 égal à lui-même de flegme et de professionnalisme, l’équipe 💻 au centre de contrôle au top, les collègues au bras robotique ou qui nous ont mis dans les scaphandres (et nous en ont sortis)... Je suis peut-être encore sous le coup de l’adrénaline, mais je pense qu’on ne peut pas trouver mieux (ou alors il va falloir me le prouver 😁). On va essayer de prendre un peu de repos en attendant la suite des opérations 😴

Light blue glacial runoff mixes with saltwater in North Bentinck Arm on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada.
NGC 4618 was discovered on 9 April 1787 by the German-British astronomer, Wilhelm Herschel, who also discovered Uranus in 1781. Only a year before discovering NGC 4618, Herschel theorised that the “foggy” objects astronomers were seeing in the night sky were likely to be large star clusters located much further away then the individual stars he could easily discern.
Since Herschel proposed his theory, astronomers have come to understand that what he was seeing was a galaxy. NGC 4618, classified as a barred spiral galaxy, has the special distinction amongst other spiral galaxies of only having one arm rotating around the centre of the galaxy.
Located about 21 million light-years from our galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, NGC 4618 has a diameter of about one third that of the Milky Way. Together with its neighbour, NGC 4625, it forms an interacting galaxy pair, which means that the two galaxies are close enough to influence each other gravitationally. These interactions may result in the two (or more) galaxies merging together to form a new formation, such as a ring galaxy.

I felt myself boring and tired for about a month ago. So I tryed to do the arm. I worked on it hor about 2 days, after I lost it>< Today I found:3
Need to finish and start the left one)
A couple more English Electric Canberra noses from RAF Wyton in July 1983.
This is WH803/856, a T.22 from the Royal Navy's Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit at Yeovilton. She carries a radar nose for Buccaneer navigator training.
WH803 originally served as a PR.7 with the RAF. She joined the Fleet Airm Arm in 1976 and was retired in 1984.
