Fellow photographers. Don’t ever sit on a garbage bag on a steep snowy bank. I made this mistake and went hurtling down the slope with the leg of my tripod in one hand until I was able to grab onto a tree trunk. Also don’t breathe over your filter in -15 temperatures or you’ll have to defrost that filter up your jumper and you’ll still get fogging which is what happened here.

This was the May showing - Thursday was unfortunately a very different story.

 

My alerts were brewing all week but we have had horrendous cloud cover down here. I knew Thursday looked promising so I drove to Hatchet Pond. The app was going mad but there was just a wall of thick cloud. I should have just been more patient and stayed put but instead I drove home thinking I would go back out if it improved. Test shots from my back garden started to show something so I decided to head back out.

 

I won't go into details but a driving mishap put paid to the venture. The main thing is no-one was hurt.

 

My husband keeps saying you have got the Northern lights.. why do you need to photograph them again?

 

He doesn't get it!

 

It was only later that night, back at base that I realised Icelandic lightning had struck twice. Not in the form of a thunderstorm, more’s the pity - the light would have been a gazillion times more exciting. Last time I found myself unwittingly shooting in jpeg mode, my camera had suffered a midnight malfunction more than three years earlier at Aldeyjarfoss. Happily, I’d already taken the shots I needed, as in frustration I went to the total reset option, but what I’d forgotten was that the resulting default setting ignores RAW mode completely. Which seems crazy for a so-called professional camera. It was only as I stood on a completely overcast beach at Stokksnes thirty-six hours later that I suddenly noticed I’d been shooting jpegs. For a moment I’ll leave you to imagine the language. It’s a good job not many people had bothered to try and photograph the invisible Vestrahorn that day.

 

This time it wasn’t so much absentmindedness as good old fashioned incompetence that had knocked on the door of disaster at the enchanting, yet challenging to photograph Brúarfoss. You see, most of the time it matters little that one external memory slot contains a thirty-two gigabyte CF card while the other holds an SD card with four times the capacity. After all, most of the time I don’t come close to filling either card, and so every image is faithfully recorded onto two separate storage devices. Ideal if one fails. Full marks to the manufacturer. I inherited the CF card, courtesy of the previous camera I’d owned - yes the one that wobbled at Aldeyjarfoss three years ago. And while thirty-two gigabytes was once more than adequate, things have moved on - especially if you remember to shoot in RAW mode. But CF cards are expensive, and I like holidays. It’s not going to be a priority item anytime soon.

 

This time, only four days into the trip, the CF card was already full and the camera was complaining. And faced with the need for a quick solution in a hurry, it seemed I’d chosen the wrong option. Twice. For a while all images were recorded in both formats, and then when another urgent message appeared on the screen which refused to go until I’d pushed some more buttons, both cards resorted to jpeg only. All of which had happened at one of those roadside stops earlier in the day. In my head I still hear the famous five words that Ali so often deploys for more important moments than this, such as when the washing machine has broken down again - “should have read the manual.” And Brúarfoss, with its intricately pretty glacier blue waterfall was the casualty. In fact I’ve spent so many column inches rattling on about storage media that I’ve neglected to talk about the waterfall, which despite all of the challenges, was an aquamarine gem. I’ll have to post a second story from here, with another image edited from a jpeg. I won’t mention any of this again, I promise.

 

By the time I got home from this second Iceland adventure, I’d taken almost two thousand exposures, enough to fill that CF card almost four times, yet the SD card was still happily swallowing each new image. And just to attach the proverbial braces to the already belted trousers, each night I downloaded everything onto an even bigger external hard drive, before uploading it all into my online storage cloud too. At least something on the technical side seemed to be working properly. After the trip I even retired that SD card with all of the images still stored on it. Just in case. It lives in an untouched drawer.

 

All of this has prompted me to check current prices for CF cards, and as usual the online results include a bucketful of products I didn’t ask to see. Among them an adapter to put an SD card into a CF card slot. Now why didn’t I think of that before? I’m just going to stop here a moment and bang my head on the desk to see if any common sense manages to creep in through the gaps between my ears. Then I’ll write a story about Brúarfoss. It deserves a bit of lyrical waxing after this sorry tale of operational oversight.

Die Stadt erlangte weitere Berühmtheit für die Ermordung des Amokläufers Wild Bill Hickok am 2. August 1876. Mount Moriah Cemetery ist die letzte Ruhestätte von Hickok und Calamity Jane , sowie etwas weniger bemerkenswerte Figuren wie Seth Bullock. Wikipedia

 

Nearly done, needs a stand and some ruined castle in heaps at it's feet.

Dear God, calamity again! ...

It was so peaceful, so serene;

We but began to break the chains

That bind our folk in slavery ...

When halt! ... Again the people's blood

Is streaming! Like rapacious dogs

About a bone, the royal thugs

Are at each other's throat again.

 

Taras Shevchenko - 'Calamity again'.

Calamity Song - The Decemberists

Had a dream

You and me and the war of the end-times

And I believe

California succumbed to the fault line

We heaved relief

As scores of innocents died

 

And the Andalusian tribes

Setting the lay of Nebraska alight

'Til all that remain is the arms of the angels

 

Hetty Green

Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab

You know what I mean

On the road

It's well advised that you follow your own bag

In the year of the chewable Ambien tab

 

And the Panamanian child

Stands at the Dowager Empress's side

And all that remain is the arms of the angels

And all that remain is the arms of the angels

 

And you've receded into loam

And they're picking at your bones

We'll come home

We'll come home

 

Quiet now

Will we gather to conjure the rain down?

Will we now

Build a civilization below ground?

And I'll be crowned the community kick-it-around

 

And the Andalusian tribes

Setting the lay of Nebraska alight

'Til all that remain is the arms of the angels

'Til all that remain is the arms of the angels

The tower bells were initially hung in the St. James´s Church tower. But when a new big Michael bell was acquired by the town authorities in 1604, it was said the bell made the whole tower quake when it rang.

They therefore decided to have a separate campanile built next to the church at municipality expenses in 1609. The municipality of Lipník started building with the support of the nobility. The Chronicle writes: "the Mayor and town council of Lipník anno domini 1609, on Friday after the commemoration of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At some commandment of His Grace the Lord of Jiří Elder Bruntálský of Vrbno and on Helfenstein ​​with knowledge and will of all the municipality of Lipník they bought the above written house to construct the tower for the bells at this point for a sum of 390 R by Jan Šmic. He received an earnest payment from the Lords for a cash of 50 R. "

 

The house was promptly demolished and eight days after the purchase, foundations were laid for the new tower. The bell tower was completed by the winter – 12th November 1609. It was built by Italian master Jan Mario Vlach. The stone was brought here from Prusy and Podolí.

 

The bells of the St. James´ Church were transferred to the bell tower, and thus spared from a great calamity during a fire; the bell tower remained unaffected.

 

The campanile in Lipník nad Bečvou is the only one in Moravia which preserved its original appearance and which in addition differs from the other preserved bell towers by its size. Its ground plan is 10 x 10 and its height is 24 m. It has square windows in the first and second floor and is provided with a side-hung window on the third floor in the front facade, the remaining windows are set up with semi-circular vault. In 2003, the windows of this floor were fitted with wooden shutters. They better transmit the sound of the bells and are more suitable than the metal coverings used until now. The sound of bells was reflected and the vibrations damaged the bells. Above the top floor, bell decoration is concentrated in the form of uneven arcades and attic friezes. “Due to its noble architectural differentiation and integrity of its exterior, this tower has no equivalent rival among the Renaissance monuments in Moravia, except the gate in the Street of the Mother of God in Jihlava“ wrote in 1933 Dr. Karel Svoboda, the Heritage Office Commissioner from Brno, in the article Art in the history of Lipník.
