Wartime memories at Rye Harbour. A pillbox with views of the English Channel, used as a machine gun post during WWII.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
The German Channel was blasted through the Palau's barrier reef in the south-west to connect the lagoon to the Pacific Ocean. The channel was made by the Germans during the time when Palau was a German colony. It is now a popular dive site.
The Garrison Channel is where the Waterside Marriott and Amalie Arena are located on the north bank (right channel bank), and Harbour Island is located at the south end of the Garrison Channel (left).
Behind Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina( right) confluence of Garrison Channel and Hillsborough River can be seen.
Sunset time last night, looking down the channel, from Channel Island Power station, in the direction of Channel Point, Northern Territory. There was some lightning in here but did not manage to capture any.
Neumayer Channel. This channel was extremely narrow and made for a spectacular photo opportunity for the ships company.
The only chance to get Al off the deck staring at Vermont TV all day (see photo below) is to get him out on the boat so he is actually in his favorite... excuse the pun... channel...
If you like IL-76s, AN-12s, DC-8s and 707s these will be featured in the future. My first video is up. IAT 1993 and 1994. Enjoy!

The 1L05 Swansea - London (Paddington) First Great Western High Speed Train (HST 125) crosses Porthkerry Viaduct in the Vale of Glamorgan, with a view of the Bristol Channel and Somerset coast in the background. High speed passenger trains use the South Wales main line between Cardiff and Bridgend but occasionally are diverted along the Vale of Glamorgan line which follows the coast from Llantwit Major to Barry. I thought it worth getting up early to catch the shot, which was taken at 04:54 as the sun started rising.
Had a trip over to Bosham, West Sussex to capture the sunset last Sunday, the tide was low but calm still conditions for the reflections.
Not much colour in the sky but it was pleasant way to spend an hour or so walking around in the mud contemplating life!!!
1/160 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 + 0.6 (reversed) ND grad filters.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
I’m seeing the new Matrix movie this weekend and was inspired by the gorgeous Carrie Anne-Moss to put together this faux leather look. If Keanu is listening, I’m available for the next installment if Carrie bows out or as John Wick’s new love interest. Give me a call😉😘
Aquesta nova localització per a les meves fotografies de trens la hi dec a la informació que em va facilitar el meu bon amic Oriol Paris Escursso .
Per la llarga recta de Bellvei, la 253.018 al capdavant del Channel Tunnel Express, un habitual del corredor del Mediterrani, que transporta peces fabricades en Dagenham, Anglaterra, fins a la factoria que la FORD té a Almussafes.
El que més crida la meva atenció és que els vehiculos ja acabats estan situats al principi, quan normalment ho fan darrere dels vagons tancats.

Near the Rothsee the channel, connecting Donau and maine, reaches its highest point. Tourists are travelling by ships, nice area for bikers too.

#3263 - 2016 Day 341: This section of shingle beach between Selsey and Bracklesham Bay was breached in 2013 as part of a managed realignment flood defence scheme. New defences created inland of the shingle bank and a new tidal channel have created a large area of saltwater marsh, now managed by the RSPB.
Only one problem for me. In plans afoot for a walk [...] , what was a 50m section of shingle is now a 12km detour to reach the other side ...
More from Open House London 2013, this time Channel Four television, a building I had not visited before so was not sure what to expect. The atrium is pretty impressive, with lots of glass and steel and a rather distinctive design although for me it lacked warmth. Perhaps that was the look they were going for but having seen the odd atrium or two in my time, this was just missing something.
Anyway, black and white was the obvious choice for this composition. I deliberately under exposed to balance those contrasts, and pleased I did as I managed to keep the reflections in the glass.
Hope you are having a good week. :-)
