Flying visit to Battery Point lighthouse at midday today to try a daytime long exposure at high tide.
It was busy with sailing boats and the odd cargo ship but manged to capture a couple of quick shots.

I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today

I shot this one about two hours after the previous shot with the addition of a Nikon TC-14E Teleconverter. My battery had died after the first shot and I had to charge it prior to this one, so the moon was considerably higher in the sky. Best if viewed in the large format for greater detail.
I've shot from here before at Battery Place and West Street, but it's slightly different since the park renovations finished. The pavement is new and the Y shaped lamp looks new as well.

The Battery is a small neighbourhood of St. John’s Newfoundland, that sits on the entrance to the harbour located on the slopes of Signal Hill. The area is famous for its colourful houses nestled in the steep rocky hills. It was also important in the defence of St. John's Harbour in both World Wars. A large defensive chain was built between here and Cape Amherst on the South shore of the harbour to prevent illegal entry of enemy ships at night. During World War I the chain was replaced with anti-submarine nets. This was taken last summer while on vacation with my father who grew up in St. John's. It was great to see the old city through his childhood memories.
The Rutherglen State Battery.
"This Battery was built in 1908 to extract gold from crushed quartz recovered from reefs in and around Rutherglen.
It was in use until 1994 yielding 5650 oz of gold from 6549 tons of quartz crushed during that period.
The Battery was restored and upgraded for visitors as part of the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Rutherglen in 2010."

The albeit short run from Kirkby up to Headbolt lane, and return, is made under battery power. (they were not flat, honest)
The Red tail markers, along with the now extinguished front lights, look like battery state indicators, well to me, anyhow ;-))
This is a mid-day time exposure of the Lighthouse on Battery Point in Crescent City, California. I used an ND400 filter to soften the water a bit.

This abandoned structure at the Battery Spenser is located just north of The Golden Gate bridge. The tunnel further in the background is on US 101 just under a mile north of the bridge. It's now officially known as the Robin Williams Tunnel in honor of the actor who was a resident in the area during the early part of his life and passed away in 2014.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual outdoor Battery Dance Festival went virtual this year, like so many other performances.
So there was no live festival and most of the international dance companies that participated did so via video.
But NYC let the Festival film a handful of the performers live, albeit in the very early morning, as a way to discourage curious onlookers. These are some of the companies that participated; but this necessarily is a very small sampling.

Commentary.
At the western extremity of the Isle of Wight are the famous “stacks” collectively known as “The Needles.”
Tennyson Down gradually narrows to a lizard-like tail above these stacks.
On the northern side is the colourful Alum Bay.
On the southern side is Scratchell’s Bay.
This view, eastwards, from near to the Coastguard station and “Old Battery” Fort shows the dramatic cliffs, narrow shingle beach and blue sea, in all its glory.
The angled strata in the chalk remind us that it is a Sedimentary Rock laid down 65 million years ago in a warm Cretaceous Sea.
This amazing rock is made up of billions of microscopic, calcium-shelled creatures called Foraminifera.
Earth movements, particularly, the formation of the Alps
buckled strata, right across Europe and into South-East England.
Thus, what were horizontal beds have, in some places, been tilted to angles between 30 and 90 degrees.
The view from Pier 25 is not awesome but different. Today's interesting twilight added much needed color to the cloudy atmosphere.
Just imagine, your day job - sitting in this reinforced concrete gun battery on Lime Point. 1897 - 1942. You did not have a cell phone in your pocket. Ha! Crazy Cool!
This is a single shot, LED lighting inside the bunker. Hope you like it.

It is by chance that the Beelden aan Zee museum ended up in Scheveningen. The collector couple Scholten-Miltenburg were looking for a good place for their collection and were eventually allowed to build in the dunes around the summer pavilion of the Hague society De Witte, the former Von Wied pavilion. The theme of the collection is the human image and has nothing to do with the sea. However, the clear sea light plays a major role in Wim Quist's architecture. This museum has a purely private origin and can function thanks to sponsors and a group of volunteers.
Theo Scholten and Lida Scholten-Miltenburg started collecting work by living artists in 1966. Their preference initially went out to young Dutch artists and figurative work, later they bought internationally and in all kinds of styles. The focus was always on people, a universal theme of all cultures. Most of the sculptures date from the second half of the 20th century with a wide range of origins, materials and sizes. Stimulating young talent was a primary motivation, and the collection was subsequently expanded with established names. The love for manual work, both real carving and modelling, is clearly reflected in the collection, as are the developments in the use of materials that the previous century was so rich in.

Het is bij toeval dat het museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen terecht is gekomen. Het verzamelaarsechtpaar Scholten-Miltenburg zocht een goede plek voor zijn collectie en mocht uiteindelijk bouwen in het duin rond het zomerpaviljoen van de Haagse sociëteit De Witte, het vroegere paviljoen Von Wied. Het thema van de collectie is het mensbeeld en heeft niet met de zee te maken. Wel speelt het heldere zeelicht een grote rol in de architectuur van Wim Quist. Dit museum heeft een puur particuliere oorsprong en kan functioneren dankzij sponsors en een schare vrijwilligers.
Theo Scholten en Lida Scholten- Miltenburg begonnen in 1966 werk te verzamelen van levende kunstenaars. Hun voorkeur ging eerst uit naar jonge Nederlandse kunstenaars en figuratief werk, later kochten ze internationaal en in allerlei stijlen. Centraal stond altijd de mens, universeel thema van alle culturen. De meeste beelden dateren uit de tweede helft van de 20ste eeuw met een grote spreiding naar herkomst, materiaal en maat. Het stimuleren van jong talent was een eerste drijfveer, in tweede instantie werd de collectie uitgebreid met gevestigde namen. De liefde voor het handmatige, zowel het echte houwen als het modelleren, is duidelijk terug te vinden in de collectie, evenals de ontwikkelingen in materiaalgebruik waar de vorige eeuw zo rijk aan was.
