They cleave the water like a jewel, and cracks it to bright light.
Based on "Spring Day [Bath]" poem by Amy Lowell
This is one of the old salt marshes on the east side of the Dutch Wadden island of Ameland.
Here the sea has free acces during high tide to the land that was conquered from hundred of years ago in a primitive way.
The salt marsh is cleaved with creeks that are very deep due to the abrasive effect of the sea water being drawn in and out.
The grazing takes place by flocks of sheep.
The wind on the Wadden island of Ameland and the other Wadden islands has a predominant force of 4 Beaufort, but during heavy north-western storms the wind can reach wind force 12!
During these severe storms, a ferocious surf engulfs this salt marsh........
"My old boat rests on the shore,
By the river's sedgy brink,
Where the meadow grass bends o'er,
And the cattle come to drink;
'Tis a rusty, batter'd boat,
Boat without master sail,
And it never again may float,
In dead calm or in gale;
For its timbers and ribs are rent,
Shiver'd and crack'd and bent,
And the paint has faded away,
From its sides this many a-day;
Sides gaping in every seam,
Wide open to the stream.
And yet a brave boat wast thou!
When I launch'd you long ago,
When thy shapely, sharpen'd prow,
Cleaved the waters like a plow;
Gay then each painted side,
With umber and green and white,
My triumph and my pride,
My glory, my heart's delight!
Was ever a joy in the past,
Like mine when first arose,
The flag at the head of the mast,
A pennon of purple and rose;
When first thy snowy sail,
I gave to the riotous breeze,
And steer'd from this river-vale,
Straight out to the open seas!"

I could not find out a lot about the building, in the small village Sticklepath nr Oakhampton. I love the colour's with the weathered look,been standing empty for a long while.
The Methodist Chapel, built in 1816, is located in the centre opposite the village hall, which was built toward the end of the 19 th Century and donated to the inhabitants by Ellen Thompson, daughter of Thomas Pearse, whose family had converted Cleave Mill into a flourishing woollen mill in 1810. An outreach post office operates in the village hall twice a week and there is a thriving village shop

Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus that connects the Tasman Peninsula with the Forestier Peninsula, and hence to mainland Tasmania, Australia. A township settlement in the same region is also called Eaglehawk Neck. Locally known as the Neck, the isthmus itself is around 400 metres long and under 30 metres wide at its narrowest point. The area features rugged terrain and several unusual geological formations. These include the Tessellated Pavement, an area of flat rock that looks to be manmade but is in fact formed by erosion. A short walk further via Lufra Cove leads to Clyde Island, accessible for crossings at low tide, which sits at the northern entry to Pirates Bay. The island hosts two grave sites, and a rumbling blow hole cleaves the island. Eaglehawk Neck is a well-known local holiday destination. On the eastern side, a beach that stretches around Pirates' Bay is a popular surfing area. In summer the population rises as people return to their holiday homes. 29052
This very old building Cleaves is where my Dad worked before retirement. Back then it was famous for Toffee sweets & butter .
Later is was a milk process plant under Gloden Vale.
Its holds very found memory's for me.

I had a few days off over the Bank Holiday weekend and we tried to make most of this short break. On Saturday we picked a circular walk which promised stunning views of a remote part of Dartmoor. Little did I know what a challenging walk that would be - especially for our two little boys! The walk started along a 19th century leat which powered some mining-related mills in the past. Once we reached the river Tavy the challenge began as there was not really a path to follow. The boys enjoyed scrambling over the countless granite boulders right next to the rushing stream as well as stepping through very boggy parts - it had been raining a lot before after all. In any case, we all managed to return safely and were rewarded with some stunning scenery and incredible views from top of Hare Tor.
For those interested, I uploaded a video of this adventure on Youtube:

National Geographic describes the formations as the "result of primordial tectonic movement that cleaved the bedrock with almost cubic perfection before raising it high above the desert floor."

1) "I felt a Cleaving in my Mind". 2) "sforzo di equilibrio"
Emily Dickinson, poem (937)
I felt a Cleaving in my Mind -
As if my Brain had split -
I tried to match it - Seam by Seam -
But could not make them fit -
The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before -
But Sequence ravelled out of Sound -
Like Balls - upon a Floor -
The very short river that drains the famous Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon deposits tonnes of ice that cleaves off Breiðamerkurjökull (the glacier's name) into the ocean each day. A lot of that ice gets washed up on the beautiful black sand beaches that stretch out from both sides of river. This is a super popular tourist destination.
The larger pieces of ice you see here being smashed into by the waves are bigger than cars. There is a mix of ice colours, with many sporting bands of black ash from the many volcanic eruptions that have happened over the years.
This is a view of wonderful Tavy Cleave, right next to the gorgeous waterfalls I neglected for this photo. The cotton grass, also called pixie wool, indicated boggy areas throughout our entire hike that day. On a side-note, both our boys managed to tumble into the water that day, stepping on a pile of grass which gave way...and the older brother pulled the little one with him into the stream. Luckily, the stream wasn't very deep at that spot and both got away with a few bruises and wet shorts. A partially tricky but very rewarding walk in the western part of Dartmoor.
From top of Hunter's Tor looking into the countryside. The hill on the left is the one with Eason Tor which we went to a fortnight ago. Discovering Dartmoor from all angles....
Bond And Free
Love has earth to which she clings
With hills and circling arms about--
Wall within wall to shut fear out.
But Thought has need of no such things,
For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings.
On snow and sand and turn, I see
Where Love has left a printed trace
With straining in the world's embrace.
And such is Love and glad to be
But Thought has shaken his ankles free.
Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
And sits in Sirius' disc all night,
Till day makes him retrace his flight
With smell of burning on every plume,
Back past the sun to an earthly room.
His gains in heaven are what they are.
Yet some say Love by being thrall
And simply staying possesses all
In several beauty that Thought fares far
To find fused in another star.
Robert Frost
Tavy Cleave is a valley that runs through the western edge of Dartmoor. It's some of the most breathtaking views the moor has to offer. This shot is heading North up the cleave towards the waterfall on the River Tavy. On the left is the Wheal Friendship Leat that was used in the copper mining industry in the 19th Century. On the right, you can just see the River Tavy itself running through the valley.
Last Saturday, we spent a nice day at Lustleigh Cleave, a lovely circular walk taking in ancient woodland and tors with far reaching views. The weather was fabulous, felt like summer is not over yet (having said that, it was pretty freezing this morning :-P)
A woodland scene from our walk at Lustleigh Cleave. The fallen branch in the centre caught my attention - looked like a person leaning against the rock or the Forest King sitting on his throne :-)
An adult Bald Eagle in flight epitomizes power and majesty. The long primary flight feathers generate lift and speed, while the yellow eyes and massive yellow beak are representative of its stature as a raptor at the top of a food web. This individual was cleaving the air above Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Views from the hill opposite Belstone, across the Belstone cleave. We had some fabulous long distance views last Saturday.
The area seemed to have been a bit of a tick territory - I found 2 who bit me two days after. The Dartmoor rangers warned of large amounts of ticks on Dartmoor so be aware of those beasts and check your clothes/skin.
Nice distant views across Dartmoor and Bovey Castle in the distance from our picnic spot last Saturday - Hunter's Tor. Have a lovely weekend folks!
That's the wild river Tavey gushing down the cleave. A little play with toning and simplification of the subject matter.
I took this one just before we reached our picnic destination in the background, at the granite outcrops of Hunters Tor. One of the ponies was extremely inquisitive and followed us around, probably hoping to catch a snack (of course we didn't - Ranger code!). The walk is along Lustleigh cleave with some wonderful distant views from Hunters Tor.
For those interested: here the video of the walk, including the pony encounter: youtu.be/IujncL3F6-g
Flit needs a new heart, she rumages through the dump and finds some makeshift armor; she comes up with a pipe, some streetsigns and an old funnel.

Kingsand and its adjacent former fishing village of Cawsand are on the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall, where they overlook Plymouth Sound. The Devon coast can be seen on the other side. This is a relatively quiet though very attractive part of Cornwall, with the vast majority of visitors driving past to the holiday resorts further to the west. It is one of our favourite places.
The houses overlooking the sea wall can get battered in the winter gales, hence the shutters on some of the windows. Several cottages also have flood protectors on the bottoms of the doors. This seafront lane is called The Cleave. Many of the buildings along here date from the mid-18th century.
In the distance is Plymouth and beyond it we can just see the outline of Dartmoor.
Crossing the open moorland above Belstone cleave we encountered a few spots with plenty of cotton grass. It was a bit boggy to get to the point of view I wanted to get and I might have caught a tick or two on the way but I was luckty that the sun came out just when I lowered myself for the view towards Belstone.

Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is known for its soaring mountains, electric-blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers and golden pampas (lowlands) that shelter rare wildlife such as llama-like guanacos. The 3 granite towers from which the park takes its name and the horn-shaped peaks called Cuernos del Paine are some of its most iconic sites.............
The Andes are the longest continental mountain range in the world. They are a continual range of highlands along the western coast of South America. This range is about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18° south and 20° south latitude), and of an average height of about 4,000 m (13,000 ft). The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.....Wiki

From our walk last Saturday at Lustleigh Cleave. Our picnic spot for the day was Hunter's Tor, with stunning views across Dartmoor. Just next to the granite outcrops are the remains of a large Iron Age hill fort, the ponies standing just behind the weathered down former fortified wall. Also visible in the frame is Bovey Castle - in the background just above the gate in the stone wall.
On Sunday we explored different sides of an area we visited a lot before near Belstone, in northern Dartmoor. Using Google maps as a guide we spend a wonderful day in a very quiet part of Dartmoor along the River Taw. At home I was delighted to see that this long exposure created a small swirl in the foreground :-)
Kingsand overlooks Plymouth Sound from the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall. This is part of the seafront (known as The Cleave) on a calm winter's day, but when the gales arrive this is definitely not the place to be. The buildings along here all have window shutters on the ground floor while several also have slots for flood defenders to protect the lower parts of the doors. The building on the immediate left, The Cleave House, dates from the middle of the 18th century and is Grade II-listed.

Another shot from our hike at Lustleigh Cleave. This was going up the hill through a lovely looking forest strewn with large mossy granite boulders and remnants of former rural life along the hill side.
Took a walk the other day over near Tavy Cleave on Dartmoor ... got some rather splendid misty shots 😍
Toronto born Cleave Anderson played every bar in Toronto with blues, rock, punk, jazz and folk bands. The diminutive drummer is a popular guy with musicians and different audiences. 'Blue Rodeo' was probably the most famous band he was part of. I seen him few times at different places, but did not know his name. At Castro's, he played with Lucas Stagg and Tristan Schultz to a small audience, so we ended up talking. He grew up in the same part of Toronto, that I live. Hard to tell now, that he was badass Punk Rocker, but in the 1980's, that was his playground.

Rock of Ages, cleave for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Buried in the sand,
Five hundred miles from Birmingham.
When the road got rough and the wheels all broke,
Couldn't take more than we could tow.
Making something out of nothing with a scratch and a hope,
Wth two old guitars like a shovel and a rope.
Rock of Ages, cleave for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Now I understand,
On better terms since Birmingham.

At this time of the year, in early December, there are very few visitors to be found at Cornwall's coastal villages, especially one such as Kingsand which is in any event well off the beaten track. Like its neighbouring village of Cawsand, it overlooks Plymouth Sound from the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall. This is the seafront (known as The Cleave) on a calm winter's day, but when the gales arrive this is definitely not the place to be. The cottages along here all have window shutters on the ground floor while several also have slots for flood defenders to protect the lower parts of the doors.
