And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher"

Located at the northern end of the Odaiba reclaimed land, this is Odaiba in the narrow sense. It is an off-shore islet protected by stone walls and installed with cannons, which is conserved as a historic monument.
Planted trees are Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). It is planted all over Odaiba.
In response to the provocation by the US "Black Ships" in 1853, Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Egawa Hidetatsu Tarouzaemon (江川英龍太郎左衛門) to construct a set of battery to protect the capital of Japan from foreign powers. He barely completed the difficult task in eight months and died soon after the completion probably due to the hard work.
He was originally a local magistrate in Nirayama at the foot of Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka prefecture. He became interested in the coastal defence matters, learned Western gunnery and techniques in Nagasaki, and eventually involved in the Tokugawa shogunate with this matter.
He realised the necessity to introduce modern iron foundry techniques to produce modern arsenal, for which he auto-didactically constructed the first reverberatory furnace in Japan in his home town of Nirayama.
Egawa's residence is conserved in his hometown. It is a traditional wooden structure constructed in the 17th century without a nail (flic.kr/p/HaHVkF), which is interesting as he is considered the father of modern iron foundry in Japan.
This Week i couldn`t participate on Macro Mondays. My Computer shut down cause of a low CMOS Battery. But my little Helpers are working on it to get me back to the Social Media Network :)
So, VersaEmerge had some technical difficulties at their SXSW Purevolume show. Blake's 9 volt battery died, and no one had another one.
Kinda funny how you can't play an electric/acoustic without a battery.
But since no one had another battery available, they just decided to get down to our level, and play a zero electricity involved song, in the crowd, less than a foot away from me.
:))))
Thank you VersaEmerge, for giving me one of the best concert experiences in a long time.
Which is in Portishead , just on the estuary looking out to twinkly Wales.

Before lock down people used to come here from all over the world to see Ocean Going ships at close quarters. On this Oct evening in happier times these people will hoping to catch sight of a big ship and some will know it is just over the horizon. It was worth just for the sunset.
This 9 meter lighthouse was built in 1930, is not the prettiest or imposing of lighthouses, but, it is a unique design and is now a protected structure. In the past it fell in to disrepair and the 2 tonne bell was removed for fear of it's weight pulling the structure down. The bell became lost until two ladies found it covered in rags in a warehouse. It is now on display in the town.
Still working, but the bell is replaced with an electronic siren, the white light, mounted on the square gallery at the top of the tower gives 3 quick Flashes every 10 seconds and is visible for 16 nautical miles.

Here is my monthly non long exposure shot. While many of us would like to have seen more sea fog at the Golden Gate in recent months, there have been a few key events to marvel at. It's a very simple phenomenon, to be sure, but makes for interesting photography, nonetheless.
The thing with this moment (and do mean moment) was the way the hill just seemed to grow a fuzzy wool sweater of fog.
Thanks for having a look!

For Macro Mondays
This week's theme: Battery
I haven't worn a watch in years. With a smart phone in my pocket at all times, I hardly need a watch. I had almost forgotten about this one. I took it apart to change the battery and then could not get the cover back on. Oh well. Maybe it's time to throw it away.
Macro Mondays: Battery
Batteries on glass on metallic paper. The battery with the crown is a little over 1 cm in diameter; the one underneath it is 2 cm.
Just a general view of the best place to see ocean going vessels.
Here we see a tug heading out to assist a large car carrier.
After wearing yourself out in the old growth coastal redwoods, I like to re-fuel in nearby Crescent City. My top spot is usually the Chart Room for their amazing fish & chips.
I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing the dinner runs close to 3000 calories. And with no room for dessert, I opted for the low-calorie sunset at the lighthouse.
Battery recharged and then some!

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge opened on May 27 1937, instantly becoming a much-loved symbol of the city and an iconic piece of architecture around the world. The suspension bridge spans the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the American city of San Francisco, California – the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula – to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The San Francisco Bay, reached via the Golden Gate Strait, was missed for 227 consecutive years by passing Spanish ships. It was finally discovered in 1769, when bored hunters passed overland and found the bay; three years later, at last, the strait was spotted from present-day Oakland.
Old car batteries and fuel drums… waiting to be recycled.
For Wednesday Walls.
Have a great day, everyone!
One of my favorite places to shoot.
This is two images stacked and manually blended. One image exposed for the sky and one image exposed for the foreground.
Thanks for looking
I had an idea for a shot so I set out early this morning. I was hoping to blast myself with a large wash of outline lighting but I could not get my flash to cooperate. I was also hoping for a touch of mystical fog. I'm praying to the Golden Gate Strait. Ha!
This is three images stacked. Neewer LED light panel (model T120) used for the bunker lighting. A second shot with the LED in front of me. A third shot to bring up the shadows around the bunker.
Thanks for looking.
on the northern point of Ship Cove. Still intact are gun emplacement number two, the magazines, and the range finder station.
To me, Batteries are little metal things that I have to buy to make my best toys work - most importantly, my camera.
They can be dangerous things if they leak their acid out.
They can be expensive, they can be inexpensive, but they are absolutely necessary.
All in all, I (for one) need plenty of them in my life.
