Gastineau Channel is a channel between the mainland of the U.S. state of Alaska and Douglas Island in the Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska. It separates Juneau on the mainland side from Douglas (now part of Juneau), on Douglas Island. The first European to sight the channel was Joseph Whidbey early in August 1794, first from the south and later from the west. It was probably named for John Gastineau, an English Civil Engineer and Surveyor.
The channel is navigable by large ships only from the southeast as far as the Douglas Bridge, approximately 9.7 miles (15.6 km). Between the bridge and Juneau International Airport, approximately 8.1 miles (13.0 km), it is navigable only by smaller craft and only at high tide.
The channel is becoming increasingly unnavigable due to shallow water depths. The two principal causes for this are:
Isostatic rebound following the retreat of glacial ice sheets
Sedimentation and infilling of the Gastineau Channel by silty sediment produced by the Mendenhall Glacier and Mendenhall River.
If current trends continue, Gastineau Channel may eventually become dry or unnavigable or both.
During isostatic rebound, the Earth’s lithosphere (crust) is slowly rising due to buoyant forces, following the removal of a large mass on the surface. This can be likened to an ice cube floating in a glass of water with a penny sitting on top. The weight of the penny makes the ice cube float lower, similar to the immense weight of a glacier on top of the lithosphere. When the penny (glacier) is removed, the ice cube (lithosphere) “rebounds” and floats slightly higher. In the geologic case, this scenario happens very slowly. Rates of isostatic rebound throughout SE Alaska vary from 0.1 to 1.5 inches/year depending on glacial history. The approximate rebound rate in the Juneau area is 0.25 to 0.5 inches/year.

Don't do this walk if you expect the Korission Sea channel to be something worthwile visiting. That's it! But the hike as a whole has a nice vibe if you like slightly exhausted summer landscapes with lots of sand.
The giant green anemone is a species of intertidal sea anemone of the family Actiniidae.
Generally, it is found along the low to mid intertidal zones of the Pacific Ocean, from Alaska to southern California and sometimes downwards to Panama, where cold water swells can occur. It prefers to inhabit sandy or rocky shorelines, where water remains for most of the day. They can generally be found in tide pools up to 15 m deep. Occasionally it can also be found in deep channels of more exposed rocky shores and concrete pilings in bays and harbors.
These anemones tend to live a solitary life, but can be occasionally seen as groups with no more than 14 individuals per square meter. They can move slowly using their basal disks, but usually stay sessile.
The anemone feeds on sea urchins, small fish, and crabs, but detached mussels seem to be the main food source. There are rare instances where the giant green anemone has consumed seabirds. It is not known whether the birds were alive or dead when engulfed by the anemone. (Wikipedia)
One evening we went to the tidal pools along the coast to look for fish, anemones and sea stars. It was adventure scrambling over the huge rocks, but we were rewarded with this anemone just under the surface of the water. No evidence of it having eaten a bird recently was found :-)

Guernsey is an island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. With several smaller nearby islands, it forms a jurisdiction within the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a Crown dependency. The jurisdiction is made up of ten parishes on the island of Guernsey, three other inhabited islands (Herm, Jethou and Lihou), and many small islets and rocks. The jurisdiction is not part of the United Kingdom, although defence and most foreign relations are handled by the British Government.
The entire jurisdiction lies within the Common Travel Area of the British Isles and is not a member of the European Union, but has a special relationship with it, being treated as part of the European Community with access to the single market for the purposes of free trade in goods. Taken together with the separate jurisdictions of Alderney and Sark it forms the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The two Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey together form the geographical grouping known as the Channel Islands
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

The North Sea Canal (Dutch: Noordzeekanaal) is a Dutch Ship Canal, long 25 km, from Amsterdam to the North Sea at IJmuiden, constructed between 1865 and 1876 to enable seafaring Vessels to reach the Port of Amsterdam. This Man-Made Channel terminates at Amsterdam in the closed-off IJ Bay, which in turn connects to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal.

Sif's golden blonde hair is reminiscent of the cornfields that around harvest time appear to the imagination as golden hair blowing in the wind. The name Sif is still a very common female name in Sweden (Siv).

The Gravan Canal is a channel that connects the eastern and western ports of Kristiansand. The canal is partly an artificially dug extension of the channel between Kvadraturen and Odderøya. The sound was so shallow that it prevented boat traffic. It was first excavated around the year 1680.
Four bridges cross the canal and there are remnants of another former swing bridge. The eastern inlet of the canal is at Hartmann's pier (Strandpromenaden) and Nodeviga marina, and the canal runs out into the western harbor at Lagmannsholmen and Kilden theater and concert halls. Parts of the north bank of the canal are a rock fill that made Lagmannsholmen land-solid. The building at Fiskebrygga with red and ocher yellow wooden houses is located on both sides of the canal. In the summer, there is heavy petty traffic in the canal. Larger boats are hindered by the relatively low height below the bridges. The harbor for fishing boats is west of the bridges.
Under the easternmost bridge is the artwork "Slow Bridge", designed by Anna Berthelsen. The work consists of square mirror tiles made of a total of 5,300 children from schools and kindergartens.
Northeast of the bridges stands a memorial box shaped like a sea mine, in memory of the war sailors 1940-1945. It is inscribed "Prejudice to the sailor's misery and death. Now to his memory of efforts in need. ”Gogel trans, wikipedia
One of the later sunset shots I took on this evening, one thing I had forgot to do was change my settings from shooting hand held during the day, to be honest I was rather late getting to this spot after being indecisive about where to shoot the sunset. However, I got some shots but had not noticed my ISO was still at 400 doh,I prefer to shoot at 100 or if I can get away with it 50 for the quality and latitude it gives me .
So this is one of a number of compositions I made before it got a bit too dark on our last night in Cornwall, more to come from Cornwall in due course .
So... After watching this little wagger for an hour at great distance, it took off and landed in the road behind me, the worst possible place for a proper ID shot, partly obscured by vegetation and pretty much into the sun. Anyway, I've scrubbed the idea of it being a Blue-headed wagtail (I did spend half an hour trying to convince myself it was a Sykes... In my dreams) and have now settled for it being a Channel. :@)
Winter grips Bedford Channel in Fort Langley as the Fraser Rivers mists glide along the perfectly calm water, mirroring the scene.
The well known big 4 sculpture (2007) outside the atrium of the Channel 4 TV Building, 124-126 Horseferry Road, Westminster, London. Richard Rogers, 1994. For those that can't get or don't watch Channel 4, you have to line up the sculpture framework to see the logo.
PS the C4 building became Grade II listed in March 2023.
