The Pia Glacier is located in a fjord of the Beagle Channel and descends from the Darwin Mountain Range. It’s similar in area to Chile’s capital city, Santiago.
This connects to Mitten Pond and is seen from the SE corner of Trail 10 in the Beaver Ponds and Little Cranberry Lake portion of the ACFL.

The legacy of hundreds of years back-breaking manual labour, carving this incredible network of water distribution channels out of sheer volcanic rock faces is one thing for which the massively abused term "awesome" is appropriate.

The channel between Bournda Island and the mainland. The tide just managing to come into the channel from both sides but a break during this shot.

Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand. Much like totem poles, pou whenua tell a story. They are significant to the Māori people, representing their contributions to the cultural heritage of New Zealand. They acknowledge the association between the people (tāngata) and the land (whenua). Specifically, they reflect the relationship between the ancestors, environment, and the reputation or standing of the tangata whenua. The Pouwhenua is also a long-handled fighting staff with a club-like broad head for striking. R_26491

St Catherine’s oratory at dusk, with the moon setting over the English channel beyond. The medieval lighthouse is locally named the pepperpot and stands on one of the highest points of the Island. There is always a mystical feel when visiting this landmark, something I tried to portray here.

Lemaire Channel is a strait off Antarctica, between Kiev Peninsula in the mainland's Graham Land and Booth Island. Nicknamed "Kodak Gap" by some, it is one of the top tourist destinations in Antarctica; steep cliffs hem in the iceberg-filled passage, which is 11 km long and just 1,600 metres wide at its narrowest point.
It was first seen by the German expedition of 1873-74, but not traversed until December 1898, when the Belgica of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition passed through. Expedition leader Adrien de Gerlache named it for Charles Lemaire (1863-1925), a Belgian explorer of the Congo.
The channel has since become a standard part of the itinerary for cruising in Antarctica; not only is it scenic, but the protected waters are usually as still as a lake, a rare occurrence in the storm-wracked southern seas, and the north-south traverse delivers vessels close to Petermann Island for landings. The principal difficulty is that icebergs may fill the channel, especially in early season, obliging a ship to backtrack and go around the outside of Booth Island to reach Petermann.
Reshaping a river to get around the effects of our previous reshaping of a river.
This bypass channel has been dug and concrete blocks added so that a fish (the twaite shad) can avoid the nearby weir which stopped them swimming upstream to spawn.
"The gradient of Bevere fish pass is around 1.6%. Although this about 50% lower than the gradient of a deep vertical slot fish pass (such as at Diglis, Holt and Lincomb), compared to a natural river it is still quite high. So we needed a way to slow down the flow of the river even further, without compromising a fish’s ability to swim through the channel.
You will notice that there are a number of concrete blocks positioned in the fish pass. These blocks were cast into the base of the channel to slow the water down and break up the flow. This creates near-natural varied flow conditions, that fish, including the endangered twaite shad, can comfortably swim through.
The boulders create friction as water flows past it. The friction causes the water to slow down. The water drops around the boulder and energy is dissipated around the structure."

This is another shot of the channel I found at Church Point last saturday but taken earlier in the day, when there was a lot more of a blue tone going on (which I think I prefer in the water). I was really quite glad I had my wellies on, as it allowed me to get up quite close to the channel without risking serious wet ankles.
I've got a long weekend this weekend (stopping work tomorrow night) so I'm really hoping for some similar weather - this was one of the most fun sunrises I've seen for a while.

Red House on the Lake
Here is the link to the video walkthrough!!
This $7.5 million abandoned house sold at that price not too long ago, it later went up for sale again that same year for $6.5 million but didn't sell, does that mean the buyer overpaid? Maybe but it wouldn't surprise me at all if that is the current pricing for that area! It was listed as a vacant lot which means the home will eventually be torn down which is a shame because it has a lot of unique characteristics and it's too bad that these types of homes are considered useless because the ones that replace them have no visual interest at all.
Located within a very wealthy neighbourhood right on a lake, it looks as though this home has been sitting for several years. It has a mostly flat roof which is often the cause of leaks and that is evident from the inside of this house. There are a few different leaks that have led to the ceiling partially collapsing in some areas and we all know when a roof begins to go it's not long before the house is unsalvageable. Custom built in the 1968, it appears to have most if not all of its original decor intact.
These sorts of homes are great and visiting them makes me feel like I am stepping back in time and it's a damn shame that they are becoming harder and harder to find.
This home will be demolished eventually, it is just a matter of time. It will be replaced by a McMansion made of particle board and plastic that has absolutely no character at all.
