Pathway through the great channels formation. At the top of Clinch Mountain near Abingdon VA in the Channels Forest Natural Area Preserve, are the Great Channels. The Channels are a maze of sandstone boulders that geologists believe were formed over 400-million years ago during the ice age. Permafrost and ice wedged and shattered the sandstone cap-rock to form the Channels. The pathways between the boulders in the Great Channels wind and turn and some of the stone forms caves of a sort in some places.
To hike to the Great Channels, take exit 24 west off of I81 in Virginia. Follow route 80 for about 14 miles where you will find a small parking lot on the left and the trail head. (If you start to descend the mountain, turn around you've gone too far.) The trail is about 3 miles each way, begins on an old fire road and is marked with miles-markers about every 1/2 mile. You start at marker 13.5 and count down. Shortly past mile-marker 11 to get to the Channels follow the Great Channels spur trail on the left side (there is a marker sign). Pass the abandoned fire watch tower and follow the arrows to get to the "entrance" to the Great Channels.
Kanal Boje

Took a beautiful walk along this very old irrigation channel (bisse in French, or Suone in German). They were built in the 1400's and are still used today to irrigate the vineyards and fields in sunny, dry Valais. Just an hour away by train through the mountains, and we're in a completely different climate.

Pools of golden light dance amongst the brash ice and bergy bits in clear evening light. From my last book, 'Deception Island and the Antarctic Peninsula'.
From a sunrise shoot at South Newcastle Beach yesterday morning. It was low tide so many more details of the rocks were visible.
Thanks for any views, comments or favorites of this or any of my images!
Fog on the Channel
Sea fog rolls over the ruins of a Victorian fort as the lighthouse looks on mutely. Alderney's lighthouse had it's foghorn silenced forever not too long ago, as ships all rely on GPS navigation now! Whilst it is sad, I can assure you that standing this close to the lighthouse when the foghorn went off was not particularly pleasant! That thing was LOUD!
Beagle Channel - Magellanic Penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) - 20240214
The Magellanic penguin is named for the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew spotted it while sailing around the tip of South America during their historic, if controversial, attempt to circumnavigate the world in 1519. This flightless seabird can be found on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the continent, mainly in Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands.
One of 18 penguin species, the Magellanic penguin is known for its black body and white belly, countershading that helps it avoid predators while swimming. When seen from above, a penguin’s black back blends into the dark ocean, and from below, its white stomach is camouflaged by the light from the sky. Penguins’ bodies are ideal for swimming, thanks to their streamlined body shape that tapers at both ends, webbed feet, and long flippers that help them paddle. Oily feathers also keep penguins warm.
Magellanic penguins do have distinct markings that can differentiate them from their relatives. Two black bands run across their white bellies: One thick black stripe encircles their necks while another line of black feathers forms an arc that rises to the top of their chests and back down to their feet. Magellanic penguins also have a stretch of white feathers that swoops down from each eye, joining to form a strap around the neck.

Looking south, down over Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel.
The southernmost mountains of Chile in the distance.
Taken from the trail up to the Martial glacier which overlooks Ushuaia.
The long strip of land is the international airport but I'm only aware of flights here from within Argentina.
The Big *Bang* Theory.... Tried a short hair look for a change, combined with a retro HellBunny pink frock.
Lucky catch as I drove home from work.

Homer: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home. . . --Homer's Odyssey, Book I
The English Channel (French: la Manche, "The Sleeve"; German: Ärmelkanal, "Sleeve Channel"; Breton: Mor Breizh, "Sea of Brittany"; Cornish: Mor Bretannek, "British Sea"; Dutch: Het Kanaal, "The Channel"), also called simply the Channel, is the body of water that separates southern England from northern France and links the southern part of the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the busiest shipping area in the world.
It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest to 33.3 km (20.7 mi) in the Strait of Dover. It is the smallest of the shallow seas around the continental shelf of Europe, covering an area of some 75,000 km2 (29,000 sq mi).
i know this picture is a bit scary, but she thinks it's funny to do this face sometimes. and well...it's just so her. she doesn't know she looks like she's just been to a KISS show.
you can also view a shot of the beachy version of this face, which was taken a year after the above photo. some things never change. but other things do (sigh).
i'm feeling sad lately that she's starting first grade next week. she's getting SO big. emotions are wackier and more complex (oh joy!) and she's matured alot this summer. lately she's been waking up in the morning to tell me she read an entire junie b. jones book in the middle of the night.
srsly?
The sun was beginning to turn the fog yellow and backlit the channel marker on the St Johns River at Deland, Florida.
