Ash Falls ~ Dirty.Pretty. One of the most amazing surf experiences in SL. Throw on your wetsuit and head on over to this sim. It is a cold water sim with black sand beach set in the Pacific Northwest. Jules and ʟöv created this sim back in 2017, and it beautifully landscaped giving you the perfect setting to take amazing photos.
One thing about this sim I loved so much is when you join the group there is a small fee to join, but all funds go to adopt an orca, see below link to find out more details about adopting an orca, dolphin or whale. I visit Ash falls as much as I can, because it is probably the only place I can surf so hard with the many varieties of waves, while dodging boulders and just really losing myself in the surf. I highly recommend this sim not just for surfing, but cozy places to just relax with your thoughts and immerse yourself in the beauty. You will find a C-3 rezzer on the pier right when you land on the sim.
The sim also has 6 rental properties on the sim, please see below to find details and more on their website listed below. There is a waiting list, but definitely add your name to the list. It is worth the wait.

Beautiful Ash Cave in Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio The day we were there there was a man sitting up the hill playing beautiful violin music. It was a magical place.
Got to Ashness Bridge just before the heavens opened. Spent the rest of the day getting very wet at Buttermere.
Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District. It is famous for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw. It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick

This is possibly the most famous waterfall in Hocking Hills. It was definitely the waterfall I was most looking forward to seeing. And it is very nice. But it doesn’t have great flow. Still, the long wispy stream is pretty awesome. For a waterfall junkie it was a great sight.
Old but healthy looking Ash Tree growing 5 minutes walk from where I live, photograph taken in a recent snowstorm, makes it show up well. This is one of my favourite local trees and scattered in the local area are hundreds of its offspring.
one of elizabeth taylor's lesser known film, ash wednesday (released in 1973) is about a middle aged woman who had a face lift to save her marriage. i thought this picture of a withered rose best captures the essence of physical beauty fading. like this rose that once was fresh is now all wrinkled. but i don't conform to today's obsession with youth. the wrinkles on this rose add character and depth. beauty is not a monopoly of the young.
Looking down the ash disposal area from the other end.
Note the boiler closest to the camera was never cleaned out after it was shut down decades ago. Hardened ashes and clinkers still sit in the ash pit.
I believe the twin diagonal pipes above the ash doors supplied forced air to the furnace. Air was derived via tuyeres below the coal bed to enhance combustion and make the fire hotter.
Whoever worked in this area, this would have been an incredibly hot and filthy job.
I am a new Portlander. 1 1/2 years present I would say. So, occasions like this are fun for me. Walking about creating images on the street, about to click and realize, "Hey! I know that person!" Then chat instead!
Meet Joe Ash, we used to make juice together. Hey GreenLeaf! I haven't seen Joe in awhile. Turns out he is on a new adventure too... another common thread, Photography! For the Love of!! Cheers to new journeys, collaborations, growing and exploring; meet you in the Street!

A little history here. My grandfather owned and operated a filling station and garage between Aurora and Naperville, Illinois in the early 1950s. He had several of these ash trays made as a 'promotional' (advertising) back then. While he operated that until around 1957 there were still a number of these left over. Since then, my father sold the business after my grandfather died, then became a mechanic for a gas station a couple miles down the road. He continued to work as an auto mechanic until his retirement.
This particular ash tray was given me by one of my cousins as we met (for the first time) for lunch this past weekend. What a trip down memory lane! Somewhere I have one of these souvenirs, but this one is in excellent shape after all these years. And my cousin said she bought it for me at a garage sale!

I was surprised to hear from friends that snail shells or egg shells were being fed to nestlings by Ash-throated Flycatchers they watched recently: www.flickr.com/photos/dave_lawrence/27390099146/ www.flickr.com/photos/chaparralbrad/27489416456/
Apparently it's not new news. Here is part of the introduction to a study of calcium intake in two species of flycatcher in Europe: "Birds need increased calcium intake mainly during two periods, those of egg-shell formation and nestling growth. . . .Various calcium-rich items, such as snail shells, eggshells, bones and calcareous grit have been recorded as sources of calcium in birds (reviewed in Graveland 1990). Snail shells have been considered the main source of calcium for many passerine species." However in that particular study, some different results: they found that woodlice (Isopoda) and millipedes (Diplopoda) "were the main source of calcium for flycatchers during the breeding period in Central Europe. "--Stanislav Bureš, Karel Weidinger, Sources and timing of calcium intake during reproduction in flycatchers, Oecologia (2003) 442: 634–647
To understand animals, you must "watch for a long time without disturbing them. Then gradually your mind opens to what it would be like to have different eyes, different ears . . . different needs, different fears, and different knowledge from ours."--Katharine Payne in Elephants Calling, 1992
